Chapter 996: After the Incident

Whoa, a giant? Lin Rui emerged from the bathroom, his head tilted to watch the TV news, muttering to himself in surprise.

Bucky, too, was drawn to the news report, despite its lack of substance. Both men had partic.i.p.ated in the Antman incident and knew what the news meant.

Do you know anything about this giant, Jackson? Bucky asked Lin Rui when he returned from the bathroom.

Yeah, I have an idea. If Im right, this giant is another combat form of Antman the giant mode. Besides shrinking to the size of an ant, the Antman suit can also make the wearer many times larger. Lin Rui replied calmly.

So, after we left, Scott got into another fight. And he couldnt escape as Antman, so he transformed into a giant. Bucky a.n.a.lyzed, his eyes gleaming.

Yeah, its likely that Scott encountered a more challenging situation. The criteria for transforming into a giant are much more stringent than for Antman. Unless absolutely necessary, Scott wouldnt choose to become a giant. Lin Rui speculated.

Can you confirm Scotts status now? Bucky knew Lin Rui could monitor Scotts situation and would rescue him when needed.

I just checked, hes doing fine and resting in a hidden location arranged by Luis. But he seems to have lost Darren Cross Lin Rui frowned, looking concerned.

After watching the news, Lin Rui utilized Scotts communicator to check on his situation. However, the message he received left him speechless.

Lin Rui wasnt taken aback by the armed squad that came to support Darren Cross; it would have been strange if n.o.body did. In fact, Lin Rui had some theories about the squads ident.i.ties.

He could have easily resolved the situation by informing JARVIS about it, letting s.h.i.+ELD take over, and swiftly putting an end to the chaos.

Nevertheless, Lin Rui believed that the Antman incident wasnt a major issue, and Darren Cross wouldnt cause any significant trouble.

With Bucky and him secretly a.s.sisting Scott, he should have been able to handle things without any complications. However, the attack from the armed squads resulted in Scotts loss of Darren Cross, which left Lin Rui dumbfounded.

Did he lose Darren Cross?! Bucky was taken aback by Lin Ruis words and asked in surprise.

At that time, Lin Rui had already trapped Darren Cross inside a small gla.s.s bottle. As long as Darren Cross couldnt break it, there was no way he could escape.

However, Scotts inability to keep him safe from the armed squads resulted in his loss, which was a shock to both of them.

Well, he may have gotten lost during his escape. But theres a chance that those teams havent found him yet. After all, the gla.s.s bottle can block many scanning technologies, Lin Rui replied with a nod.

What happens now? The police are searching for Darren Cross for causing a vicious gunshot wound, and with our help, Scott has defeated Darren Crosss Antman team and seized several Antman suits. What direction do you think this incident will take? Bucky asked, no longer dwelling on the loss of Darren Cross.

If Darren Cross was indeed lost on Scotts escape route and never found, he would die inside the gla.s.s bottle within a few days. Lin Rui could easily locate the bottle. However, whether he would take action or not wasnt Buckys concern.

If Darren Cross dies this way, even the powerful people behind him wont retaliate against Scott and Dr. Pym. However, Im worried that Darren Cross may have already struck a deal with them, and they may have an Antman team in their possession, Lin Rui replied with a serious tone.

Even if thats the case, we wouldnt be able to handle the people behind Darren Cross, Bucky said, feeling helpless.

Its not impossible. Its just that Im avoiding trouble, Lin Rui replied flatly.

If Lin Ruis speculations were accurate, then it wouldnt matter. Those retired bigwigs of the older s.h.i.+ELD generation, apart from acquiring some high-tech from s.h.i.+ELD, had nothing worth considering to their name.

As long as Lin Rui and Steve Rogers spoke up, they wouldnt be able to do anything significant.

Afraid of trouble Bucky was left speechless by Lin Ruis slightly disdainful response.

The more Bucky spent time with Lin Rui, the more he found himself unable to unravel the mysteries surrounding the young man before him.

Aside from being incredibly powerful, Lin Rui appeared to possess various enigmatic backgrounds. However, as long as it didnt affect Bucky, he didnt care what Lin Ruis background was.

Well, Scott and the others are safe now. The police have also intervened, so perhaps the matter is resolved this time. As for us, lets take a look at these two sets of Antman suits first. Dont you want to try them on? Lin Rui looked at Bucky and asked, disregarding the situation surrounding Darren Cross and Scott for a moment.

Upon hearing Lin Ruis suggestion, Buckys breathing became heavy. If Lin Rui had not put away the Antman suits last night after demonstrating their capabilities, Bucky would have tried them on. As a fighter himself, he was naturally interested in the special high-tech suits.
