Chapter 963: Thief

Chapter 963: Thief

So, Lin Rui and Bucky wandered around the city for two days like ordinary tourists.

Of course, Lin Rui has some goals of his own. After recovering his memory, Lin Rui has been thinking about resolving or reconciling the conflict between Bucky and Tony. After all, Bucky did kill Tony’s parents, even though Bucky was completely under Hydra’s control at the time.

Additionally, Lin Rui was aware that even though he had not taken part in the murder of Tony’s parents, his involvement with Hydra Base in Siberia might be discovered, and he might not be able to keep it a secret forever. 

Therefore, he felt that even if Tony never found out that Bucky was responsible for his parent’s death, it was important to resolve the situation before it caused any bigger problems. So, since he had met Bucky by chance, he decided to stick with him for a while to see if he could prevent any negative events from happening.

“Jackson, where do you want to go shopping today?” Bucky asked Lin Rui who was grooming himself in front of the mirror after breakfast. 

He had come to rely on Lin Rui for everything since he discovered his strength, and he had no specific plans or goals of his own. He enjoyed the simple life of an ordinary person, and the past two days of living in a motel with no fear of being discovered by SHIELD had been refreshing for him.

“Today? Let’s just take a walk today. If we don’t find anything interesting, we’ll move on to the next destination,” Lin Rui replied nonchalantly when Bucky asked about their plans for the day. 

He had no specific goals, and neither did Bucky. He knew that the fuse for the superhero civil war was Bucky, and it was all going to start with the country of Wakanda, but it was in Africa, and they couldn’t fly there from the United States at this moment. 

So, Lin Rui just decided to wander around these northern cities with Bucky and take it easy while keeping an eye on Bucky.

“Sounds good,” Bucky responded casually to Lin Rui’s answer.

Ka~

Ten minutes later, Lin Rui and Bucky, in disguise, left the motel and headed out. Since it was their last day in the city, they decided to take a good look around, like two tourists visiting from another place, even though the city wasn’t a tourist destination.

As they set out to enjoy their last day in the city before moving on, they were unaware that something was happening in the city that would soon involve them.

…

Scott Lang, a middle-aged man who had fallen on hard times and had been previously imprisoned for theft, accepted a risky burglary job with the intention of fighting for the right to see his daughter. He took the job under the advice of his friend Luis and his team. 

The payoff for this job was promising and it was the only one he decided to take after getting out of prison. However, Scott didn’t know that this job would drastically change his future life.

After completing their preparations, the team, including Scott and Luis, waited for nightfall. After his teammates disabled the communication signals in the target’s block, Scott easily broke into the target’s villa.

“Wow, this guy is good, he didn’t trigger any alarm system there!” Luis’ tech-savvy friend exclaimed in admiration as he watched Scott’s progress from the modified car.

“That’s why I hired him for this job, he’s a professional,” Luis said with pride.

As they continued to carefully monitor the villa and the surrounding area to ensure that everything went smoothly, Scott had successfully reached the basement and opened the first security door. He was now facing the second security door.

“Looks like I’ll need some heavy-duty tools for this,” Scott said as he looked at the outdated security gate in front of him.

He quickly got to work, and within two minutes, he had hidden himself in a corner and used a large amount of refrigerant to blast open the security gate.

 The last line of security was breached. However, when Scott entered this fortified secret room excitedly, he was stunned.

“There’s nothing in here!” Seeing the empty secret room ith no cash or jewelry, Scott shouted angrily.

“What? Is there nothing? No cash, no jewelry?” Luis, who was outside in the car, was also surprised to hear Scott’s words through the headset.

“No! There’s only one set of bike suits here!” Scott was extremely disappointed upon seeing the strange bike suits on the table in front of him. He had taken a risk for this, but now it seemed to be a wasted effort.

“I’m sorry, Scott, I know you needed that money. ” Luis apologized, as he was the one who had provided the information about the location of the vault.

“Forget it, I am coming back, let’s think of other ways,” Scott said, resigned to the fact that this plan had failed.

“Okay.”

Scott, adhering to the principle of not returning empty-handed, quickly put on the peculiar bike suit. He then left the villa and followed the modified pickup truck parked on the side of the road.

The next morning, Scott couldn’t help but examine the bike suit he had stolen the previous night. He was curious and decided to try it on.

“I just want to know, what’s your use?” Standing in the bathtub, after putting on the helmet, Scott looked around and finally pressed the red buttons on his left and right hands a few times.

Buzz Buzz~

The moment Scott pressed the red button on his left hand, his body shrunk to the size of an ant and he fell from the bathtub. Although the fall was high for him in this tiny size, he landed in the tank and was able to get up unharmed.

“Wow!…” Scott, who got up from the ground, looked around in amazement, realizing something was off.

“Scott, is it very different to see the world from this angle?” A voice suddenly came from his helmet, catching Scott off guard.

“Who? Who’s talking?!” Scott, startled by the sudden voice and the bizarre transformation, shouted nervously.

Hula La!

Just when Scott had a question, someone suddenly pulled the Curtain of the bathtub open.
