Chapter 990: Harvest

Boom!

As Bucky approached Lin Rui, he released his grip on Antman and flung the unconscious figure to the ground. Despite sustaining a few injuries, Bucky’s wounds were not severe.

The warriors recruited by Darren Cross, equipped with Antman suits, possessed immense power against ordinary individuals. However, their fighting techniques appeared primitive to Bucky. In his view, he could easily overcome them in direct combat.

“After I knocked out the guy, I couldn’t locate the other one. I’m not sure where you hit him,” After throwing down the fainted guy, Bucky looked at Lin Rui and said.

“It’s fine. My slap should keep him unconscious for a while, and I’ll have Scott’s ant helpers locate him later. How about you? Did you sustain any serious injuries?” Lin Rui nodded and then glanced at Bucky’s slightly torn clothes before asking.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a minor injury that will heal with a few days of rest,” Bucky assured, his head shaking gently. Being the transformed Winter Soldier, Bucky possessed remarkable recovery abilities, and this injury wouldn’t hinder him in any significant way.

“That’s great news. It seems like everything has been resolved, and there’s no cause for concern,” Lin Rui said, relieved to hear that Bucky was doing well. With a sigh of relief, he picked up the glass bottle in his hand and gave it a couple of shakes.

Reflecting on the Antman incident, Lin Rui was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly it had gone. He couldn’t help but wonder if his newfound strength was the reason for the success. Despite Antman’s reputation as a skilled high-tech hero in the Marvel world, he was no match for Lin Rui’s abilities.

As Bucky gazed intently at Darren Cross, who was trapped inside the glass bottle in Lin Rui’s hand, his eyes flickered with interest. He recognized that this wasn’t magic, but a legitimate technology capable of altering the world’s course.

Though Bucky was primarily a fighter, he wasn’t naive; he understood that if this technology were to be made public and utilized on a broad scale, it would have enormous consequences and implications for the world.

However, Bucky doesn’t know what Lin Rui plans to do now. Bucky doesn’t care whether he wants to get this technology or just hand Darren Cross over to Scott and the others but he is also curious about this technology.

“That…” While Lin Rui and Bucky conversed, Scott eventually found himself unable to remain silent and spoke up.

Despite facing problems from the very start of his plan and encountering a perilous situation later on, Scott owed his survival to Lin Rui’s timely intervention. However, Scott believed he still had to make an effort to obtain the glass bottle that Lin Rui held in his hand since he deemed Darren Cross to be valuable.

“Scott, do you want him?” Lin Rui interjected, brandishing the glass bottle before Scott could finish his sentence.

“Uh…yes, Darren Cross is affiliated with Pym Technology, and considering the severity of his crime, he deserves to face legal consequences,” Scott replied, feeling somewhat sheepish in light of Lin Rui’s question.

“Hehe, do you believe that someone like Darren Cross is truly capable of being punished by the law? Even if you hand him over to the police, there’s a chance he could be rescued by someone later on. The Antman suit and Pym Particle technology will still be researched in secret, and may bring about unexpected and unimaginable consequences in the future,” Lin Rui responded calmly to Scott’s answer.

Darren Cross, a criminal mastermind with a technology-based modus operandi, is likely backed by powerful forces. Handing him over to the police may simply result in him being set free, akin to what happened with Tony’s uncle, Obadiah Stane.

Obadiah possessed enough technological know-how to cause significant problems if not kept under the watchful eye of SHIELD. Therefore, it may be necessary to turn Darren over to a more powerful organization like SHIELD to ensure he faces true justice.

“Uh!…” Scott was taken aback upon hearing Lin Rui’s statement.

Initially, Scott had not considered the matter as deeply, and Dr. Pym had not instructed him on what to do after stealing Darren Cross’s new Antman suit. Typically, it was Pym who educated them on such matters, as technical expertise did not necessarily equate to a knack for comprehensive planning.

Lin Rui’s words left Scott uncertain about what to do next.

“It’s fine if you take Darren Cross. I have no use for him anyway. But do you have a plan for how to deal with him? Despite his public outburst in front of numerous directors tonight, Pym Technology may no longer listen to him, but I have doubts about the individuals behind him taking action,” Scott queried, addressing his concerns to Lin Rui.

“I’ll take him back first. Dr. Pym will undoubtedly need an explanation. I don’t know what happened to him. I hope he’s alright,” Scott continued with a serious expression, after pondering for a moment.

“Very well, then it’s in your hands. Don’t worry, the glass bottle should suffice to keep him restrained,” Lin Rui responded, already having anticipated Scott’s decision and handing over the glass bottle to him.

After a moment’s hesitation, Scott finally responded to Lin Rui’s request. “Okay, I’ll take care of him.”

As he held the glass bottle, his attention shifted to the four unconscious new Antman soldiers lying on the ground. Scott knew that they were also wearing the new Antman suits and there might be some PymParticles left inside. He began to consider whether to take them back as well.

But before he could make a decision, Lin Rui spoke up. “I need to keep two of these guys, do you have any objections?”

Lin Rui had initially been interested in the Antman suit and PymParticle technology, and now that there were multiple suits and particles in front of him, he couldn’t resist taking some for himself. He didn’t need all of them, but two would suffice.

“No, I have no objection.” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Scott replied immediately.

Since Lin Rui had already helped him considerably, Scott had no issue with letting him take two of the Antman suits. He was not afraid of the technology and knew that it was in safe hands. After carefully removing the suits from the four unconscious individuals, Scott selected two sets for himself and handed over the rest to Lin Rui.

While doing so, he also provided Lin Rui with some basic instructions on how to operate the Antman suit, making it easier for him to transport them.

“Then I’ll go first, I’ll find the guy you knocked out and then go back to see Dr. Pym.” Throwing the four guys in the corner, Scott said as he looked at the young man and Bucky in front of him.

“See you.”
