Chapter 970: Condition
Chapter 970: Condition
Hearing Dr. Pym’s straightforward words, Scott was at a loss for words. However, he quickly remembered another crucial piece of information that Lin Rui had told him earlier – if he agreed to cooperate with the owner of the suit, the other party had the capability to help him meet his daughter and even gain custody of her. So, Scott continued to speak.
“If I agree to cooperate with you, can you help me meet my daughter?” Instead of asking the opposite party what the test was for, Scott directly asked about what he was most concerned about.
After Scott finished speaking, it was Dr. Pym’s turn to be silent. Of course, Dr. Pym had the capability to help Scott see his daughter and even obtain part of the custody rights. However, this was a last resort he would use if Scott was unwilling to cooperate.
“This guy! It seems that those two people are truly peculiar!” After a few seconds of silence, Dr. Pym muttered helplessly.
“Dad, do you really think he is the right candidate? Am I not more suitable than him?” Although she did not know why Scott brought it up now, Hope herself was dissatisfied with the idea of an outsider joining their plan, so she proposed to do it herself.
“If you want to do then do it yourself, stop talking about it with me, I won’t agree!” Dr. Pym refused in a very serious tone after hearing what his daughter said.
Decades ago, Dr. Pym and his lover were a generation of superhuman companions, but during a mission, Dr. Pym’s lover entered the Quantum Realm at great risk and never returned. So, no matter how much Hope recommended herself, it was impossible for Dr. Pym to let his only daughter wear the Antman suit.
Hearing Dr. Pym’s serious refusal, Hope frowned and said nothing more. In order to stop Darren Cross, Dr. Pym and Hope had planned for a long time. If Scott in front of them was unreliable then Hope would definitely go there herself.
“About your daughter, I can help you. But, do you really not want to know what you need to do to cooperate with me?” After finishing a sentence with Hope, Dr. Pym began to reply to Scott.
“It doesn’t matter, I am already a criminal, so what does it matter if I cooperate with you? Besides, as long as I can meet my daughter, I don’t care about the cost.” After coming to a realization, Scott quickly replied.
“Okay, as long as you trust me, you will be able to meet your daughter soon. But, can you tell me why you have this change? Is it related to those two guys who suddenly appeared?” After emphasizing that he can help Scott, Dr. Pym raised his doubts.

Although Scott’s attitude is what Dr. Pym had originally expected, his sudden change was very strange. Therefore, in order to ensure that there were no other problems, Dr. Pym still wanted to know who those two individuals were.
“Yes, those two people reminded me. They told me that you are a good person and that you would be able to help me. Although I didn’t fully trust you but for the sake of my daughter, I decided to give it a try.” Scott replied to Dr. Pym’s question without hiding anything.
“I’m a good person… well, I am really a good person. Besides, if you can complete the mission I gave you, you might save the world.” Hearing Scott’s answer, Dr. Pym was taken aback for a moment then continued.
“It doesn’t matter to me if I save the world, as long as you can fulfill your promise.” Scott, a technical geek, obviously did not care much about what a superhero should do like saving the world, he was just an ordinary person.
“If you’ve truly made up your mind, then activate the suit.” Without further ado, Dr. Pym planned to let Scott come over first and then have a conversation.
“Shrink? Aren’t you afraid that I would be stepped on by Luis before even doing your mission?” Although he had some concerns about Dr. Pym’s request, Scott still pressed the red button on the left hand of the suit, grumbling softly.
Buzz Buzz!
In an instant, Scott shrunk from normal size to the size of an ant while standing in the bathtub. Though it appeared as if he had disappeared, he had actually just become too small to see. However, this sudden change in size also presented a challenge, as the once easily navigable bathtub now seemed like an enormous mountain.
Scott looked around at the towering white walls of the bathtub and whispered to himself, “Do you want me to change back again?”
Rumble!
Scott’s thoughts were interrupted as he heard a loud roar approaching. When he looked up, he was terrified to see a “gigantic” flying ant flying towards him.
“Ahhh!” Scott let out a panicked yell as he realized that the flying ant, towering over him in size, seemed like a giant monster compared to his ant-sized body.
As Scott screamed in terror, he heard Dr. Pym’s voice coming from his helmet, “Don’t worry, this is 256, it’s here to pick you up.”
“What?!” Scott stared in disbelief as he saw the giant flying ant flapping its wings and landing in front of him.
Dr. Pym continued, without further explanation, “Well, it’s already parked, you can grab the second joint and climb up, don’t grab the wings.”
Scott: “…”
Despite his doubts and fear of the giant flying ant in front of him, Scott slowly walked towards it and reached out to grab its hard joints and climb onto its back. On the back of the flying ant, he found a small device similar to a saddle, just the right size for him to sit on without slipping off.
As Scott climbed onto the back of the flying ant, Dr. Pym reminded him, “Sit down, 256 is about to take off.”
Hoo Hoo!
With that, the flying ant named 256 flapped its wings and took off, flying out of the bathtub.
“Wow!!” Scott exclaimed in amazement as he rode on this flying mount for the first time.
“Why is it called 256?” While holding onto the rope in front of the seat, Scott shouted loudly to Dr. Pym.
Dr. Pym replied to Scott’s question indifferently, “It’s just a serial number… Maybe it’s 234, I might have confused it up.”
Brush!
Soon, the flying ant named 256 carried Scott out of the apartment building and into the street outside. Scott began experiencing the sensation of riding a flying mount for the first time in his life.
