Heroes of Marvel Chapter 995: Loosing

Chapter 995: Loosing

After searching all over his body, Scott let out an exasperated curse upon realizing that the gla.s.s bottle he had stuffed in Antman’s suit earlier was now missing. It was unclear when it had disappeared, as Scott hadn’t noticed until now.

“It couldn’t have fallen out earlier!” Scott muttered to himself, his face contorted in frustration, as he searched his body once more and confirmed that the bottle was indeed gone.

If the bottle containing Darren Cross had fallen out during Scott’s transformation into a giant, it was likely that the opposing team had already found it by now. With this turn of events, Scott’s plan for the night was a complete failure.

Although he had managed to secure several new Antman suits, they were useless in stopping Darren Cross’s nefarious plans as he could now cooperate with the other party.

Adding to their woes, Dr. Pym had been shot and injured, and their encounter with Darren Cross had resulted in a major setback.

Even if Dr. Pym were to seek the police’s help, the support behind Darren Cross was so great that it was highly unlikely they would be able to apprehend him. It was clear that things had taken a turn for the worse, and the situation seemed grim.

Dī Dī Drop~

Scott was leaning against the wall, his face twisted in frustration as he contemplated his next move, when a communication notification chimed in his helmet. To his delight, he saw that Hope had connected with him.

“Hope! Thank goodness! Are you okay? How’s Dr. Pym?” Scott asked urgently after connecting to the communication.

“Scott, we’re alright, and Hank’s out of danger. The police have arrived, and the men have fled. The communication blockade has also been lifted. How’s your situation?” Hope quickly responded to Scott’s inquiries and then inquired about his own situation.

Given that Pym Technology was the largest local high-tech company, the police would undoubtedly have taken a keen interest in the vicious attack that had taken place there.

Before Hope had called the police, they had already sent someone to investigate the Pym Technology Building.

However, due to Antman technology’s secrecy and Dr. Pym’s involvement, the police had no intention of exposing the matter, and they only apprehended a few of Darren Cross’s useless subordinates who had been subdued by Scott.

After Hope had taken Dr. Pym to the hospital, the police had also dispatched a captain to gather information on the situation.

Although they could not ascertain the truth of the matter, Hope had used this opportunity to disperse the men who had surrounded her and informed the police of the danger posed by Darren Cross.

For the police, a gunshot wound was a serious matter, especially when the victim was someone as prominent as Hank Pym. As a result, Darren Cross would soon go from being a respected, promising young man to a wanted criminal.

“That’s great news! I’m fine on my end too. Someone did come to rescue Darren Cross, but I managed to get rid of them. However…” Scott’s relief was palpable upon hearing that Hope’s situation had improved.

“But what?” Hope detected the unease in Scott’s voice and pressed for more information.

“But…I lost him during my escape…I have no idea where he could have been tossed…” Scott trailed off, clearly troubled by the turn of events.

Hope: “…”

…

Immediately after Scott transformed into a giant and fled, the team that had come to rescue Darren Cross quietly slipped away, leaving no trace behind.

It was clear that they were a highly skilled and well-trained group, as they managed to evade both the police and any witnesses who may have observed their departure.

Beep Beep Beep~

The streets where Scott had transformed into a giant and fled were now illuminated by bright lights. Dozens of police cars had cordoned off the block, their sirens blaring continuously.

Onlookers who had witnessed the giant footprints left on the street were dumbfounded. While the police did not say anything, it was evident that their thoughts were not much different from the curious crowd gathered around them.

Amidst the commotion, a little boy lay on the third-floor window of a nearby residential building, watching the busy scene outside. When Scott had run past earlier, he had caused a stir, waking up the entire street.

The little boy’s parents had woken him up and urged him to run for safety. However, it turned out to be a false alarm, and no earthquake had occurred.

Now, the little boy’s parents were downstairs, dressed in their clothes, talking to neighbors and discussing the extraordinary events that had unfolded on the street. Meanwhile, the little boy lay on the window, peering out.

Suddenly, he noticed something reflecting the light from the police cars parked below in the card slot outside the window.

Ka~

The curious boy opened the window and reached out to grab the reflective object. As soon as the little boy touched it, he realized it was a small gla.s.s bottle. Inside the bottle lay a tiny figure the size of an ant, lying still.

…

The events of that night were bound to be turbulent, but after a.s.sisting Scott in escaping the clutches of Darren Cross’s Antman team, Lin Rui refrained from getting involved in any further proceedings.

Perhaps he believed that Scott should face the dangers and difficulties that come with being a new Antman.

As chaos engulfed the city due to Scott’s incident, Lin Rui and Bucky spent a peaceful night at the motel. The hours flew by, and soon it was dawn.

Lin Rui and Bucky rose early, and after a quick tidying up, Lin Rui switched on the television in their room before heading to the bathroom. However, just as he was about to brush his teeth, the news on the TV caught his attention.

“On this morning’s news, an earthquake was reported between the fifth and eighth blocks last night, with suspected giant footprints found at the scene. Witnesses reported seeing giants in the area.”

“The founder of Pym Technology was attacked by director Darren Cross during a visit to the company’s latest technology. He is currently undergoing treatment with the Recovery Serum at the hospital. The police have issued a warning for Darren Cross, who is now wanted and believed to be armed. Please exercise caution.”

“The police have cordoned off the Fifth and Eighth Streets since last night, but our investigation and interviews suggest that there may be an explanation for these events that is difficult to grasp. Could giants really exist in our world, and if so, where could they be hiding?”

As Lin Rui emerged from the bathroom with his toothbrush in his mouth, he was transfixed by the events of the previous night on the television news.
