After hearing Fu's reply, Luke thought for a moment, before he gave another order. "Have Eddie personally investigate Scott's current whereabouts. Then, use the bigshot's name to simulate the appearance of the armor and send it to Dr. Pim. Ask him if he has developed similar armor. "
Since Luke asked Dr. Pim so bluntly, he naturally wasn't afraid that the old man would turn hostile.
This was partly because the bigshot had Pim particles as a deterrent, and partly because of the Water of Life. In any case, Dr. Pim's emotions were always complicated when he saw the bigshot.
The old man definitely didn't have the confidence to turn hostile, otherwise he wouldn't have tolerated his student Darren for so many years.
Dr. Pim replied very quickly. The answer was no, but he asked about the origin of the armor.
Luke dismissed the old man with a "I can't confirm the source of the information for now."
As expected of someone who had worked as a secret agent for many years, the old man's temper didn't affect his thick skin.
He had clearly seen through something and was unwilling to say, yet he still wanted to ask for the relevant information.
Of course, Luke wasn't easy to deal with. He knew that the white armor might be related to the ant-people's combat suits, but he didn't tell Dr. Pim about it.
Everyone was the same, and nobody hated each other.
But Dr. Pim's words were enough for Luke to consider the white armor a certain version of the ant-people's combat suits.
It didn't matter whether it was someone else's imitation or Dr. Pim's experimental model.
Now that he had fallen for Elena's prophetic painting, Luke had to invite Scott Lang's brother back as a guest no matter what, as he was already doing his duty as a host.
If it really was Scott, there wouldn't be any future problems.
After all, Scott had a very good impression of the Bat Squad, because he was a guy with a strong sense of justice.
His situation was so pitiful that perhaps only Eddie could barely compare to him.
Both of them went against the capitalists for the sake of justice, but they lost their jobs and their wives (girlfriends).
Scott also had to go to jail and lose visitation rights for his daughter, while Eddie had almost lost his life.
To be honest, if Eddie hadn't hooked up with Dr. Pim's daughter, Luke would have recruited him into PDD, or even as a member of the Justice League.
Stealing? That wasn't a problem at all.
Scott wanted to work normally after he was released from prison, but was fired many times for no reason.
He had been forced to steal, and had ended up stealing from Dr. Pym, and had somehow ended up on the old ship.
In contrast, Mindy had followed her father to cut down drug dealers and rob black money before she was ten years old. She was still the number one sister of the Little Bear Group of the Justice League.
Ivan Vanke had also stolen points in the past, and he had stolen at a much higher price than Scott. Now, he was still kneeling in the team channel, begging for kind-hearted people to sell him points.
His character was just one of Scott's strengths.
Scott's personality was also quite good. He was quite … well, adorable.
To put it bluntly, this guy was a good guy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
Other than a righteous heart, this guy did not have the quirks of a superhero.
Hmm … alright, he should have the attribute of being a chatterbox.
But Luke knew a lot of chatterboxes, from the tycoon to Rode, the four turtles to Deadpool, and Scott wasn't in the top five.
Besides, Luke was good at dealing with chatterboxes, so this quirk could be ignored.
In the end, Eddie, who was weak in the knees because of women, stayed with his girlfriend in San Francisco.
Previously, when Big Boss was cleaning up Scott's mess, he needed to send him new documents, the Thousand Faces System, and so on.
Director Sai simply made use of the waste and got Eddie to contact Scott through the delivery.
As a reporter, and one who specialized in digging into the privacy of large corporations, Eddie was also a chatterbox when he needed to.
When the two chatterboxes got together, and they had similar experiences and mental processes, they quickly became closer to each other.
If it wasn't for Dr. Pym keeping a close eye on Scott, this "heir," the two of them would have been in cahoots with each other long ago.
Thus, it wasn't hard for Eddie to find out if Scott was still in San Francisco.
All he needed to do was give Scott a new identity and the Thousand Faces System, and send a message to Scott for him to pick up the goods.
The next night, Eddie met Scott, who had come to pick up the goods.
Luke, who was the first to receive the news, was currently investigating the location where Ah Fu had selected the goods. "Is this the place?"
Ah Fu said, "According to the details of the alley in the painting, this place is 82.7% similar. It's the most likely location, and the other similar locations have inexplicable differences."
Luke hummed in response. He wasn't surprised that this was the result of half a painting.
His luck was pretty good to be able to filter out the only possible location.
Secondly, the scene of the prophetic painting was daytime, and definitely not in the early morning or evening.
Thus, the time was limited to 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 surveillance cameras there. That way, he wouldn't have to squat on the fire escape across the street and eat car exhaust.
All that was left was to wait.
In a week at most, this mysterious man in an unknown armor who was suspected to be Scott would automatically appear in the alley below.
As it turned out, the prophetic painting was quite "rushed."
Elena had painted it at two in the morning on May 2nd, and the mysterious man had appeared in the alley at three in the afternoon on May 4th.
In the middle of the day, there were still quite a few passers-by in the alley of Manhattan. They all looked at the white figure that appeared with a whoosh in surprise.
Then … their eyes turned blurry, and they walked away as if nothing had happened.
The mysterious man in the white armor was stunned for a moment. Luke had to continue using his Real Dream to lure away the few passersby who were trying to pass by to prevent the guy from being watched.
A moment later, the white armor on the man's body disappeared.
Luke, who had been observing silently, was surprised, because the white armor didn't shrink and fold, but disappeared in large areas.
Even Tony's nanotechnology couldn't achieve this effect; it was several levels below maturity.
Looking at the mysterious man's face, Luke sent Eddie a message. "Find a way to get Scott on a video call with you. Just make sure it's him in person."
Eddie, who was in San Francisco, was making a love dinner for his girlfriend at home. He had personally bought it from a restaurant, so it could be considered "done."
Hearing the cat meowing from the big boss, he immediately checked it, and was bummed. "I'm not gay. If I'm so hardworking, won't Scott think I'm giving him lubricant?"
That being said, he easily found the most suitable reason to video call Scott. "Hey, bro, what do you think of the love dinner I made for my girlfriend?"
Scott, who was sitting opposite them, was a little baffled. But after seeing Eddy's enthusiastic face and the beautiful dishes, he still exclaimed in a daze, "Wow, this really looks like the signature dishes of that Spanish seafood restaurant I went to a few days ago."
