Chapter 1923: T. Rex Ant, and the Fisherman Behind the Scenes

Dr. Pym chuckled inwardly at such a stupid question but replied firmly, “Yes.”

Hope beamed. “That’s great.”

Scott, on the other hand, was suspicious. If you have such a good friend, why are they only helping out now?

Also, why didn’t your ‘friend’ break all five of Darren’s limbs and make him confess everything? Why do I still have to steal… hm, sneak in? I don’t believe you! You’re a rotten old man, the successor grumbled inwardly.

20 minutes later, the three of them walked out.

Hope took out a miniature RV ‘model’ from her briefcase and placed it on the road. She then took out a remote and pressed it.

The ‘model’ instantly enlarged into a regular-sized RV.

The three of them got into the car and headed straight for Pym Technologies.

When they were close to Pym Technologies, the car stopped. Hope helped Scott examine his suit before she nodded. “Everything’s ready. You… Hm, don’t be careless.”

Scott smiled at her. “You be careful, too.”

Dr. Pym, who was in the driver’s seat, rolled his eyes. I’m still here. Do you think I’m dead?

The back door opened, and Scott closed his mask. He suddenly shrunk and dropped through the sewer grate on the side of the road.

In the sewers, a bunch of ants who had gotten out of the car beforehand caught him and escorted him to Pym Technologies.

On the street, Hope closed the car door and the RV continued on its way to Pym Technologies. When Hope opened the car door, she heard her father’s voice. “Be careful.”

“I know.” Looking at the calm Dr. Pym, Hope could only reply lightly before she got out.

The two of them entered the building via different routes.

Now that Darren wasn’t around, their goal was within reach, and Hope didn’t muck around.

After arriving at a room, she had a security guard follow her in to check it.

The security guard followed her inside. As soon as the door closed, Hope knocked him out.

The reason she didn’t take action outside was naturally because there were surveillance cameras in the hallway.

For now, the security guards probably wouldn’t send anyone to check the situation for the next ten minutes. That should be enough.

Calculating the time in her heart, she quickly took out a silver cube from her pocket.

This was the anti-signal device which Scott had stolen from the Avengers’ new base in upstate New York. It could effectively block the backup alarm system here.

Hooking the device up to a circuit box, she pressed a b.u.t.ton to activate it, then closed the cover. “I’m done.”

Dr. Pym said, “Leave through the side door right now.”

He wasn’t here to steal anything, but to destroy everything to do with the Pym Particle.

Destroying the backup files was the priority, but there might be other backups here, so Dr. Pym was prepared to turn the entire building to dust.

His heart didn’t ache at the thought at all.

In any case, he was no longer in charge here, even if he still had shares in Pym Technologies worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

But he had traded with the bigshot for years, and had used the Pym Particle to trade for the equipment and resources he needed for his experiments.

Money? That was useless.

He didn’t have to pay income taxes, real estate taxes, social security, medical insurance, or for land property, electricity, the Internet, and so on.

As an old man, he didn’t have much entertainment, and his daily expenses weren’t as high as those of a middle-cla.s.s family.

This was now nothing more than an old building, most of which didn’t belong to him. Dr. Pym’s mood was very stable.

Elsewhere, Scott was escorted through the sewers by the ants before a group of flying ants took him to the computer room.

Suddenly, he saw something scuttle past and disappear down a hallway not far away.

Stunned for a moment, he activated his comms. “Doctor, I just saw a T. rex ant crawl past me.”

Dr. Pym: ???

After a brief silence, he asked, “So, did you smoke weed before coming out?”

Scott said, “I don’t touch that sort of thing. Also, that’s your house. You know whether you have weed there or not!”

Dr. Pym asked, “What do you mean by a T. rex ant?”

“Anthony, hurry and catch up with your distant relative up ahead.” Scott gave the order to the flying ant under him before he continued, “It’s several times bigger than the bullet ant you modified. Also, it can fly faster than Anthony.”

Anthony was the name he had given to the flying ant he was riding, and he had named the rest of the group too.

Dr. Pym frowned and grew suspicious. “Be on guard, and speed up.”

Scott mumbled, “Hey, those two orders are fundamentally at odds with each other!”

That being said, he did as he was told.

It couldn’t be helped. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. What ant had four antennae on its head? Also, why did those antennae look… very thick?

Diagonally opposite Dr. Pym, Luke, who was invisible, hummed a tune. “Two ants who run fast, run fast. One has four antennae, so does the other, they dig fast, dig fast…”

What Scott had seen was naturally the vibranium ‘Trailblazer’ Ant drone which Luke had created.

In fact, what Scott saw was the second one. The first one had already taken action when Scott entered the building.

He was riding a living flying ant. Even with some genetic modifications, it couldn’t compare with a Trailblazer, which had an arc reactor.

The reason why Luke had only taken action now was firstly, Darren had finally become bright red in the system, and secondly, because Darren had mentioned an advanced sale for the shrinking suit during his talk with the senator on the yacht.

The other party was a broker called Carson.

From Luke’s database, this broker had very close ties to Hydra.

But no big fish had been biting for the time being, so Luke had let out the line.

In other words, Darren was prepared to sell the shrinking suit to Hydra.

The Pym Particle could be used for far more than just shrinking. It absolutely couldn’t fall into Hydra’s hands.

Now, Dr. Pym was making his move.

The Pym Particle was a technology which he invented, but Darren seized power and had a hold of Pym Technologies’ research data.

Dr. Pym had never made any of the research data public, much less applied for a patent.

Even if he came to destroy the backups, the government had no reason to demand compensation.

It had to be pointed out that Dr. Pym had stood at the top of the pyramid decades ago, with a.s.sets worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The government would definitely arouse anger from many quarters if it dared to use force to steal technology from a person like that.

To put it simply, Luke had kindly sent Dr. Pym the message so that this ‘bonafide victim’ could stir things up.

Even if things blew up tonight, n.o.body would know that Luke had taken away the data on the Pym Particle technology beforehand.
