Chapter 966: Plan Fail

Lin Rui has no plans to reveal his true identity and leave early, and he also doesn’t want to use his connection to Tony Stark’s father, Howard Stark, to get close to Dr. Pym due to the apparent tension between Pym and Howard.

Lin Rui believes that the best way to get involved in this situation is to first establish contact and then take action, similar to his approach in Rochester. He will not rely on the trust of the other party and instead will prove himself through his actions.

“Well, do whatever you want, I’ll listen to you,” Bucky said, unsure of Lin Rui’s plans.

“Don’t worry, it should be fun this time,” Lin Rui said with a smile, trying to ease Bucky’s concerns.

“Hopefully…” Bucky replied with uncertainty.

Lin Rui and Bucky then left the building, following Lin Rui’s plan to first connect with Scott. They believed that the easiest way to do this would be to offer Scott something he currently lacks, which is money.

Similar to how Professor Pym had tried to entice Scott into action, Lin Rui began searching for someone to spread news about Luis. The hope is that the news will reach Scott’s ears before the evening and that, despite already being surprised once, Scott may accept the mission again, depending on Lin Rui’s luck.

…

After Lin Rui and Bucky left, Scott who had just gone through the experience of being Ant-Man was left feeling frightened by the experience. He quickly ran back to Luis’ apartment, took off the Ant-Man suit, and put it back in the bag. He planned to return the suit back to Dr. Pym at night.

Hoo~

After putting the Ant-Man suit on his couch, Scott avoided touching it as he was afraid of something strange happening. He then decided to stay in Luis’ apartment for the rest of the day and not go out.

Luis and his friends noticed Scott’s change in behavior but assumed he was upset about not receiving anything from the previous night’s mission. Luis went out as usual, visiting various places to gather information and news.

When Luis returned in the evening, he seemed excited. He had heard about a mission that would be perfect for Scott. The mission seemed simple, the client who had posted the mission was currently in some trouble and needed help stealing a document from a specific location. The reward for completing the mission was 15,000 dollars, which is considered high pay in Luis’ line of work.

Furthermore, it is rumored that the location where the document is hidden is not complex and is located in an ordinary residential area. However, the client who posted the mission does not know what type of safe the document is in. But with Scott’s abilities, it should not be a problem for him.

“Hey! Scott! Cheer up! I have good news for you!” Luis exclaimed as he approached Scott, who was sitting on the couch and shared the information he had acquired.

Hoo~

However, Scott ignored Luis’ yelling, and he had no interest in his supposed good news. He was also waiting for it to get dark so he could return the suit back to Professor Pym. Luis wouldn’t give up so easily though.

When Scott didn’t respond, Luis sat next to him and pulled off the blanket covering him. Luis is aware of Scott’s current predicament, and he wants to use this opportunity to motivate him and show him that he is still valuable, even if this method is a bit illegal.

“Luis! What are you doing again?!” Scott said, feeling helpless after the blanket was removed.

“I really have good news to tell you this time!” Luis said, pleased that Scott had finally responded.

“I can’t trust your news now, don’t lie to me anymore!” Scott said, with a skeptical look on his face.

“Hey! There must be something wrong with the mission last night. According to my information, there should be something very valuable in the vault.” Luis knew that Scott was upset about the previous night’s mission and quickly tried to explain himself.

Scott didn’t say anything more after hearing what Luis said. He knew that the suit he brought back was worth a lot, and it was indeed a valuable thing. Luis’ information was correct, there was indeed something valuable in the vault. It was impossible to measure the value of the suit with money.

“Okay, then tell me what good news you have this time?” Scott got up from the couch and asked Luis.

“Well, as you know, I have a cousin named Lovins…”

“Luis!”

“Okay! Okay! Lovins met a girl at a tavern this afternoon and she told him about a job opportunity on a small island. The client is looking for someone to steal a document, and they are willing to pay 15 Grand for its completion. They even offered a 5% deposit for the person who accepts the mission first.” Luis informed Scott about the mission and looked at him, asking if he was interested in taking on this job.

“Are you sure that cousin of yours wasn’t fooled by a random story told by the hot girl in the tavern?” Scott asked without much interest after listening to Luis’ words.

“Certainly not! My cousin is not such an easy person to be deceived!” Luis was confident in the reliability of his source.

“Okay, but I’m still not interested.” Despite Luis’ confidence, Scott was not interested in the mission. He was more concerned with getting rid of the suit in the bag next to him.

“Scott, why don’t you think about it again? This mission is really simple, I think we should give it a try!” Luis said, trying to persuade Scott to change his mind.

“Forget it, I’ll continue to sleep for a while, and I have to go out at night, so don’t bother me if you have nothing to do.” With a wave of his hand, Scott pushed Luis off the sofa and slumped down again.

Seeing Scott’s reaction, Luis had no choice but to shake his head and walk away. He knew that without Scott’s skills, he would not have easily accepted this mission.
