Just as Lin Rui was showing off his muscles with the help of the Wakandan High Priest and letting T’Challa understand that the High Priest’s intentions were impure, they began a new round of negotiations.
Meanwhile, Bucky, who had been transported out of Wakanda by Lin Rui using the Space Stone, was standing on a street corner, looking somewhat lost at the bustling scene in front of him. It seemed like he was no longer in Wakanda.
“Where is this…” Bucky muttered, his eyes filled with confusion as he watched the traffic around him.
Seeing that people had already started to size up the guy who looked like a bodyguard standing idly by the roadside, Bucky reluctantly walked away.
“This guy, Jackson! He’s so unreliable!”
Bucky couldn’t help but wonder why Jackson had sent him to such a busy place this time. Wasn’t he afraid of being noticed by ordinary people? However, judging by the reactions of the people around him, no one seemed to have noticed the Spatial Teleportation gate that had appeared in the alley just now.
Bucky had initially wanted to send Lin Rui a message to check on the situation, but he remembered that when Lin Rui had sent him away, there had been a Wakandan fighter jet chasing after them. Worried that Lin Rui might still be in a battle, Bucky decided not to message him immediately.
In any case, Bucky wasn’t worried about Lin Rui’s safety. Even if Wakanda was a nation filled with advanced black technology, they couldn’t do anything to harm Lin Rui.
After all, Lin Rui possessed the Magic Cube, which emitted a blue glow from time to time and could open Spatial Teleportation gates at any moment. Moreover, Bucky hadn’t even seen Lin Rui’s true strength.
“Now, where should I go next? I can’t go back to Wakanda…”
“Although Jackson had hinted to me before about T’Challa’s unusual identity, seeing a king who possesses an entire nation of black technology in person still feels surreal.”
As Bucky walked along the roadside towards a less crowded area, he thought to himself. While his acquaintance with T’Challa hadn’t been an intentional goal, Bucky knew that Jackson had a purpose in placing him in Wakanda.
Now, with no clear goal in mind, Bucky, the former Winter Soldier, didn’t know where to go. However, not too long ago, he had used Lin Rui’s communication screen to see his old friend, Rogers. At the moment, Bucky really wanted to go back and find Rogers.
But after thinking for a while, Bucky suppressed that idea.
Not to mention that Rogers was now a world-renowned superhero, even if he were still the same Captain America as before, Bucky was no longer the teammate who could trust him with his back without reservation.
Buzz, buzz, buzz~
As Bucky aimlessly wandered, Lin Rui’s communication device suddenly vibrated.
Sensing the vibration of the communicator, Bucky quickly took it out to see what message Lin Rui had sent. This communicator only had Lin Rui’s contact information, and no one else could reach Bucky through it.
In the next moment, Bucky saw the message displayed on the communicator.
“Minnesota? Looking for Scott to replenish Ant-Man suit’s almost depleted Pym Particles? Then stay here to help Scott?” Upon seeing Lin Rui’s message, Bucky felt like he had been assigned another task.
His Ant-Man suit had come from Scott, and now that the Pym Particles were running low, Bucky had thought he wouldn’t be able to use such high-tech equipment anymore. No, it should be referred to as black technology!
Unexpectedly, after leaving Wakanda, Lin Rui directly sent him to the city where the real Ant-Man, Scott, was located. He was asked to find Scott directly, which meant that he would be working with Scott for some time to come.
As for whether Scott would accept him, Bucky didn’t think it would be difficult. After all, he and Lin Rui had provided a lot of help to Scott and his team in the past, and this time, Bucky was essentially coming back to assist them. As for how he could be of help, Bucky had no idea.
“Well… although I’ve been assigned something, at least I have something to do now.”
After sighing, Bucky resumed his steps and headed toward the location Lin Rui had indicated.
Half an hour later, Bucky had arrived at the place where Scott and his friend shared a residence.
Although some time had passed since Bucky had helped Dr. Pym defeat Darren Cross, Scott had indeed displayed his talent and abilities. However, Dr. Pym hadn’t allowed Scott to participate in the core experiments of Ant-Man research.
On one hand, it was because Dr. Pym now had enough resources to continue his research after regaining control of Pym Technologies. On the other hand, the main reason was the mysterious individuals who had helped Scott behind the scenes.
Scott had always remained tight-lipped about the two mysterious individuals who had assisted him, seemingly intent on keeping it a secret. However, Dr. Pym had his own suspicions, believing that the individuals were likely advanced agents of SHIELD.
Moreover, Dr. Pym had a strained relationship with SHIELD, especially considering that one of them was involved with his own daughter!
So, despite Dr. Pym’s help, Scott, with a criminal background, still couldn’t find suitable employment.
During this time, Scott had been invited by his friend Luis to co-found a small company, and life had been relatively stable.
However, after experiencing thrilling events and encountering such high-end black technology, returning to a quiet life left Scott feeling somewhat out of sorts.
Of course, Scott and Dr. Pym’s daughter, Hope Van Dyne, had successfully transitioned from an ambiguous relationship to an established romantic one.
In this regard, Scott still had a good chance of returning to work with Dr. Pym, even though he couldn’t participate in the core Ant-Man research.
“Scott! There’s a job in the east of the city that needs to be delivered within an hour. Can you go?” While lying on the couch and tinkering with his research components, Scott heard Luis shout from the “office.” As a partner in the company and a deliveryman, delivering packages had become a routine part of Scott’s daily work.
“Got it!” Scott responded and immediately got up from the couch, holding the package in his hands.
Hope, who had told Scott yesterday that Dr. Pym’s research had hit a bottleneck and might need Scott’s help, would undoubtedly be pleased to hear that Scott might return to work with Dr. Pym in the near future.
With the package in hand, Scott walked through the cluttered living room, preparing to go out for the delivery. However, just as Scott reached the door, he suddenly heard a knocking sound from outside.
Thump, thump, thump~
“I’m coming!” Upon hearing the knocking, Scott, still holding the package, walked over to open the door.
Creak—
As the door swung open, Scott was greeted by a somewhat familiar figure. A muscular build, tall stature, dressed in all-black attire, with a duckbill cap—this person strongly resembled one of the mysterious individuals who had suddenly appeared to help Scott and then disappeared almost half a year ago.
“Hello, this is… the company. May I ask whom you’re looking for?” After a moment of surprise, Scott, who hadn’t seen the other person’s face yet, spoke first.
Upon hearing Scott’s voice, the person slowly raised their head, revealing a familiar face.
“You are…”
“Hello, Scott.”
The man said calmly, revealing a smile that held the promise of new adventures and challenges.
