Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 132 Dr. Pym's Misfortune (Second Update)

In the conference room of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Nick Fury stared at his subordinates with a grim expression.

He was still arguing with the government and military about ownership of the Dark Elf warships.

As a result, these people came back to report that the mothership wreckage had been lost right under everyone's noses.

"This is unheard of! This is utterly lawless!"

An enraged Nick Fury slammed his fist on the table, sending the reports flying several centimeters off the surface.

Although the report states that the number of remaining warship wreckage is greater.

However, the most critical components, such as the warship's bridge control room, energy equipment, operating system, and shield generator, were all included in the stolen part.

In other words, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to study the remaining shipwrecks, the benefits they can obtain will be significantly reduced.

"Barton, you had close contact with that thief, what's your take on it?"

Clint, who was fiddling with his fingers with his head down, immediately sat up straight upon hearing this, recalling and analyzing the situation.

"The target has been confirmed to be a woman, around 1.6 meters tall. Although she was wrapped up very tightly and deliberately lowered her voice, it was clear that she was no more than 20 years old."

"Hmm, by the way, I suspect the target might have some kind of cross-dressing fetish, or maybe they have a rather chuunibyou (delusional) personality."

"As for the strange method she used, I didn't quite understand it either. It seemed to be able to enlarge or shrink things?"

As Hawkeye finished speaking, Nick Fury nodded and looked at the person he had also called over.

The two members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. research team: Gemma Simmons and Leo Fitz.

"What do you think?"

Simmons and Fitz exchanged a glance, each desperately trying to signal to the other.

Clearly, no one wants to take the initiative to communicate with Nick Fury, such an imposing leader.

In the end, Fitz gave in, took the tablet, and awkwardly started swiping away, stammering as he spoke.

"Um, what Agent Patton said might not be entirely accurate. Based on... based on the scene, it should be some kind of spatial transfer caused by a high concentration of compressed particles, or some kind of localized quantum state contraction."

"Stop! No need to explain the principles, just state the conclusion!"

Nick Fury, somewhat exasperated, sternly stopped Fitz's theoretical analysis and glared at him fiercely.

Seeing this, Simmons decisively stepped forward, took the tablet, and offered his explanation.

"That's right, it's about zooming in and out!"

"In fact, the other side initially used a similar method to fake the leak of hazardous materials from the spacecraft."

"We later found several broken glass sphere fragments at the scene. The target must have used some kind of shrinkage technology to fill these glass spheres with a large amount of black and white pigment ground into dust, and then detonated them in various parts of the spacecraft to create the illusion of a gas leak."

"At the same time, this action also concealed the piece of spaceship wreckage she wanted to steal, and then she used shrinking techniques to steal the wreckage right under everyone's noses."

After hearing what Simmons had said, Nick Fury finally let the two go and continued speaking to himself.

"Zoom in and out? It seems only Hank Pym knows this kind of technique?"

Upon hearing this, Natasha, the Black Widow, took the initiative to speak.

“According to our investigation, Hank Pym did indeed vacation in New York recently. However, since Barton said the thief was a woman…” “Dr. Hank Pym does have a daughter, but not only is the age mismatched, she is also currently working at Pym Industries headquarters in California, providing a solid alibi!”

Nick Fury: "Are there other people in the intelligence network who possess similar technology? Or is it possible that Hank Pym passed the technology on to someone else?"

"Unlikely. Currently, Pym Industries is controlled by his protégé Darren Kraus, and they are also developing related technologies for Pym Particles, but they have not yet achieved any results."

"Hank Pym didn't leave any research data related to the Pym Particles with his own daughter, apprentices, or even his company, so the probability of him handing it over to someone else is extremely small."

Hearing this, Nick Fury rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and could only turn his gaze to Stark and Luca, who were only participating in the meeting via video call.

Yes, that's right. Luca was also invited to the meeting about the lost spaceship.

The main reason was that Luca had recently come into contact with the Dark Elf spaceship and his skills had been recognized, which is why he was temporarily brought in.

Of course, another reason is that after the Second Battle of New York, Nick Fury had been trying to get Luca to have an advisory role at S.H.I.E.L.D., but Stark had rejected the idea several times.

So this time, by directly bypassing Tony and inviting Luca to the meeting, it can be seen as a test by this old silver coin.

However, Luca in the video projection is still in his Husky armor form.

Tony was already annoyed that Luca had been forcibly dragged over by Nick Fury, so he naturally didn't give Nick Fury any face and said in a very flippant tone.

"Why are you looking at me? I have no interest in petty theft."

"Of course, if this Miss Crow is quite attractive, I wouldn't mind meeting her privately for a chat."

Seeing Tony's attitude, Nick Fury felt a surge of annoyance.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Luca, standing to the side, was actually even more frustrated.
The so-called 'Miss Raven' was actually Luca in disguise.

He had already given up on obtaining the Dark Elf spaceship, this 'core component'.

However, he noticed during his research in the restricted area a few days ago that even though the spaceship was broken and damaged, the main body still emitted a white light that only he could see.

However, after getting to know it, I discovered that the 'consumables' needed to synthesize the cheat code have increased a few more.

Furthermore, Luca acquired the [Dehydration Gun], a magical artifact capable of compressing and carrying away objects, naturally rekindling his interest in the spaceship wreckage.

As for deliberately using the [transformation watch] to disguise herself as a woman, it was simply to better conceal her identity.

Even the so-called 'crow headgear' was just because his tattered tuxedo made his head too conspicuous when he was hiding, so he just made a bird headgear so that he wouldn't have to perform a 'flying head trick' when he was flying in the sky.

"Metal Knight, what do you think?"

Luca, who was mentally criticizing Tony Stark for being unreliable, was stunned for a moment before realizing that Nick Fury was calling him.

'Metal Knight' is the nickname Luca gave to his 'Husky Armor' persona.

It is estimated that Nick Fury had already discovered his true identity by this time.

However, both sides tacitly chose to avoid the topic at this point. Having a code name was better than being called "Erha, Erha" all the time.

Back to topic.

Upon hearing Nick Fury mention him, Luca's eyes darted around, and he immediately began to make wild, unfounded analyses.

"Have you ever considered that the data S.H.I.E.L.D. currently has is no longer sufficient to support your analysis?"
