1987 Thick-skinned Dr. Scott, the Good Guy

After hearing Alfred's reply, Luke thought for a moment before he gave another instruction. "Have Eddie personally investigate Scott's current whereabouts. Simulate an image of this suit and send it to Dr. Pym under the bigshot's name. Ask him if he has developed something similar."

Of course, the bigshot wasn't afraid of the old man turning hostile after asking such a blunt question.

This was partly because the bigshot had the Pym Particle technology, and partly because of the Water of Life. In any case, Dr. Pym's emotions had always been complicated when it came to the bigshot.

The old man definitely didn't have the confidence to turn hostile, or he wouldn't have tolerated Darren for years.

Dr. Pym replied quickly. The answer was no, but he asked about the origin of the suit.

Luke brushed the old man off with a comment that he couldn't confirm the source of the information for the time being.

As expected of someone who had been a special agent for many years – the old man's bad temper didn't affect his thick skin.

He had clearly noticed something but wasn't willing to divulge what it was, yet he still wanted to ask about it.

Of course, Luke wasn't an easy person to deal with either. He knew that the white suit was very likely related to the Ant-Man suit, but he didn't tell Dr. Pym that.

They were no better or no worse than each other.

However, Dr. Pym's words were enough for Luke to view the white suit as a version of the Ant-Man suit.

Whether it was an imitation by someone else or a beta version by Dr Pym, that wasn't important.

Given Elena's Foresight Drawing, Luke had to host this 'suspect,' Scott Lang.

If it really was Scott, there wouldn't be any trouble.

After all, Scott had a very good impression of the Bat Squad because he was a guy with a strong sense of justice.

In terms of his miserable circumstances, perhaps only Eddie could compare.

Both of them had fought a capital group for justice, and lost their jobs and wives.

Scott went to prison and lost visiting rights to see his daughter, but Eddie almost lost his life.

To be honest, if Scott wasn't with Dr. Pym's daughter, Luke would've recruited him into the PDD or even the Justice League.

He was a thief? Big deal.

After Scott was released from prison, he wanted to get a decent job, but was fired for no reason several times.

He had no choice but to steal from Dr. Pym, and was inexplicably roped in.

In comparison, Mindy had been stealing dirty money from her father before she turned ten, but still led the Ursa Minor team under the Justice League.

Ivan Vanko had also stolen materials back then, which was far more expensive than whatever Scott could steal. Now, Ivan was begging people to sell him credit points on the team channel every day.

One of Scott's strengths was that he had integrity.

His personality was also pretty good. He was quite… hm, cute.

To put it bluntly, this guy was the classic good guy, which was how he had wound up in such a miserable state.

Apart from his righteous heart, this guy didn't have the eccentricities of a superhero.

Hm… Fine, he was a chatterbox.

However, Luke knew a lot of chatterboxes; from the tycoon to Rhodes, to the four little turtles and Deadpool, Scott didn't even make the top five.

Besides, Luke specialized in treating chatterboxes, so this quirk could be ignored.

Eddie, who was weak for his girlfriend, had refused to move away from San Francisco.

In wrapping things up for Scott, the bigshot had needed to deliver things like a new ID and the Thousand Faces System to Scott.

Director Selina simply used this opportunity for Eddie to come in contact with Scott.

As a reporter who specialized in digging up the secrets of big corporations, Eddie was a chatterbox when he needed to be.

The two chatterboxes got closer very quickly.

If Dr. Pym hadn't been keeping a close eye on Scott, this 'successor,' the two of them would've long become friends.

So, it wasn't hard for Eddie to find out if Scott was still in San Francisco.

He had just needed to give Scott his new ID and the Thousand Faces System, and send a message to the other party to decide on a meeting location, and the next night, Eddie saw Scott, who had come to collect the goods.

Luke was on site investigating a location after Alfred had narrowed down possible targets. "Is this the place?"

Alfred said, "Based on the details of the alley in the drawing, there is an 82.7% similarity. It's the most likely location, plus there are unresolvable differences in other similar locations."

Luke hummed in response. He wasn't surprised.

They were already very lucky to be able to come up with a possible location.

Secondly, the scene in the Foresight Drawing was during the day, and it definitely wasn't at dawn or dusk.

Thus, the time limit was between seven in the morning and seven in the evening.

Luke rented an empty apartment on the third floor next to the alley and installed a surveillance camera so that he didn't have to squat on the fire escape opposite and eat car fumes on the street.

All that was left to do was wait.

In a week at most, this mysterious man in unknown armor would appear in the alley below.

As it turned out, the timing of the Foresight Drawing was quite 'rushed.'

Elena drew it at two in the morning on 2 May, and the mysterious man appeared in the alley at three in the afternoon on 4 May.

Several passers-by looked in astonishment at the white figure.

Then… they looked dazed for a moment before they walked away, as if nothing had happened.

The mysterious man in white armor was stunned for a moment. Luke had no choice but to continue using Real Dream to distract the passers-by so that the man wouldn't be surrounded.

A moment later, the man in white armor retreated.

Luke, who was observing silently, exclaimed inwardly, because the white armor didn't fold or shrink down, but looked like it disappeared altogether.

Even Tony's nanotechnology couldn't achieve this effect.

Seeing the face of the mysterious man, Luke sent a message to Eddie. "Find a way to get Scott to video call you. Just confirm that it's him."

In San Francisco, Eddie was making dinner for his girlfriend — buying food from a restaurant and arranging them on a plate could be considered a little like 'making,' right?

Hearing the cat's meow that was the text notification he had set especially for Black Cat, Eddie immediately picked up his phone for a look. He was immediately depressed. "I'm not gay. If I'm too enthusiastic, will Scott think I want to give him lube?"

Even so, he still found a great reason to call Scott. "Hey, bro, what do you think about the dinner I made for my girlfriend?"

Scott was a little confused, but when he saw Eddie's enthusiastic face and the beautiful dishes, he was still amazed. "Wow, this really looks like the signature dish of that Spanish seafood restaurant I went to a few days ago."
