When Darren got the news, he came out of the hospital overnight. Facing the empty Pym Technology with only a piece of land left, his eyes suddenly became wet: "Damn old thing, WDNMD (American version)!"
He only needed to take one look at the scene to know that it was definitely caused by Pym particles.
How could an ordinary explosion completely destroy the building!
Now, besides him, the only one who possesses practical Pym particles is Dr. Pym.
The problem is that he has destroyed the building, so do we still need to look at his face? Obviously not.
We have been master and apprentice for many years, so we both know each other's background.
Dr. Pym had appeared frequently recently, so Darren knew that his research must be on the right track, so he sped up the research.
Even that bastard Scott Lang knew that he was hired by Dr. Pym to do the dirty work.
He had originally prepared a perfect plan, waiting for his return this time to lure the snake out of its hole and catch it all in one fell swoop.
The result... It's gone, everything is gone!
If we want to start over again, even if we have all the funding and equipment, it will take at least three to five years to restore the current database.
At this moment, Darren gnashed his teeth in hatred.
He hated not only Dr. Pym, but also the officials who didn't allow him to make more backups.
If there is an extra backup, if the building is lost, the only loss is a little money and equipment, and a new one can be built in a few months.
Do you really think I'm a good man? He took out his phone with a gloomy face: "Carlson, the deal is done, but I have a request..."
…
For the people of San Francisco, the disappearance of the Pym Technology Building overnight meant nothing.
Aside from a few daily news mentions about it, most people don't even know this company exists in San Francisco.
Besides, it was just a 20-story building that was lost, and it was a building in a remote suburb.
Last month, more than five buildings in downtown San Francisco were completely scrapped, more than twenty buildings were sealed for inspection, and hundreds of houses were severely damaged.
Any one of the five scrapped buildings is a super skyscraper with 30 to 50 floors. The Pym Technology Building is just a smaller one and is not worth mentioning.
Moreover, the city’s radiation cleansing work is still ongoing and will be completed within a month.
More than 40% of residents are unable to return to their homes immediately and are displaced.
We are all victims of the disaster, so who the hell cares about the lives of the capitalists
Therefore, the disappearance of the Pym Technologies Building did not attract much public attention.
But in official and high-level circles, this incident caused an uproar.
Over the past decade, several forces have invested billions of dollars and established a large number of relationships and connections.
The golden fruit of this exclusive business was about to ripen, but in the blink of an eye, most of the roots were dug up. How could this be tolerated
Dr. Pym has been blacklisted by all major intelligence agencies.
Although there is no public wanted notice, as long as this tough old man dares to show up, he will definitely be caught and sent to Darren.
By then, no matter how this old man dies, it will be Pym Technology’s “family affair”.
But Dr. Pym's daughter Hope was fine.
Hope herself does not understand the technology of Pym particles, and she is also a "victim" this time - she still has a lot of shares in Pym Technology. Now that the building has been evaporated, a large amount of her property has also evaporated.
As a major shareholder at the time, she stood on Darren's side and kicked Dr. Pym out of the board of directors of Pym Technologies and let Darren take the position of CEO.
She had a bad relationship with Dr. Pym over the years, which gave Darren the opportunity to take the throne.
In this society, wealthy families turning against each other over money is a common news.
It is not justifiable to accuse her of working together with Dr. Pym.
Therefore, the US officials could not cause trouble for Hope, and even had to appease her.
Otherwise, it would be reasonable for her to use the shares she holds to join other shareholders in reviewing the company's internal management.
After all, such a big building was destroyed by someone. Now the management of Pym Technology will at least be accused of mismanagement.
If she starts making trouble, the reconstruction of Pym Technologies will inevitably be greatly hindered.
Scott didn't show up at all.
He is not a wealthy man and is on parole. He was arrested when he showed up and no one spoke up for him.
But Scott is not a fool. After blowing up the Pym Technology Building, he hid with Dr. Pym.
Anyway, he is an unemployed person and doesn't even have a fixed residence, so it is normal for him to wander around.
In fact, Luke used the boss's name to tip off Dr. Pym, asking him to hide Scott well.
Once the operation was over that night, Dr. Pym's bad temper could no longer be controlled.
After finding a secluded place to let out the house and rest, he immediately contacted the boss - or it would be more appropriate to say, to question him.
Luke was very considerate and sent out his boss's vest to meet him in person.
When faced with the furious old man's questioning about whether the Pacific Police Detective Bureau had anything to do with him, the boss nodded calmly: "They are my important partners."
Dr. Pym choked.
He sold a lot of Pym particles to the big boss in the past few years, and was upgraded from a friendly partner to an important partner, and even got a bottle of water of life.
If not for this, he wouldn't be so energetic now.
Therefore, he knew that an organization that could obtain important partner privileges from the big boss was definitely not a simple one.
Dr. Pym looked at the big man sitting opposite him with a faint smile, and finally tried to suppress his temper: "I want to get back all the information about Pym particles."
The boss nodded: "Okay."
Dr. Pym was stunned.
Then I heard the second half of the sentence: "What is the reward for this commission?"
Dr. Pym: ...I want that damn detective agency to "return" the information to me!
But seeing the big man opposite him smiling faintly, he couldn't say this.
Over the past few years, both parties have been trading fairly.
The boss suggested twice to increase the purchase volume of Pym particles, but Dr. Pym refused.
The other party didn't get angry or threaten me. The price remained the same for subsequent business, and they guaranteed pick-up and delivery, and the goods arrived on time.
In a word, our relationship is purely business.
Now that Dr. Pym wants to get the technical information back, he certainly can't just do it with words.
Business is business.
If you want something, you have to pay for it.
Dr. Pym was silent for a long time before he said, "I can ask them to name a price."
Luke raised his eyebrows: Wow, who said this old man won't turn around! Look, when people are under pressure, they suddenly behave like human beings.
He laughed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged: "Sure. I'll contact them now."
Dr. Pym exhaled: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. If the hardest first step succeeds, at least there is a chance to get the data back."
Luke said leisurely, "But I want to remind you. Hank, you still have 28 points in your account, which should not be enough to buy back the information."
Dr. Pym's old face froze.

PY a book called "I am an emotional killer".
The author Zhongqiu Yueming is one I have been following for a long time. Wu Wendi, Lu Wenlong, Qi Tianlin, Buck (the latter two have a lot of mercenary plots), etc. The protagonists range from five to ten, and now this book has already made a fortune.
The next book's protagonist's last name will probably be... Zhao? Funny!
