Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 678 The Little Assistant Arrives

Hank Pym began by saying:
"The quantum realm is indeed dangerous. There are no concepts of time and space there. If you get caught up in it, you will be completely lost and never be able to come back."

Upon hearing Hank Pym's words, Smith Doyle shook his head:
"I'm not referring to the kind of threat you're talking about."

According to Smith Doyle, there are two threats to the quantum realm. One threat is the quantum virus. Eliminating this threat is not difficult. The key is to detect it as soon as possible to avoid becoming a lost universe. At that time, you can solve the problem by wishing to Shenron.

The second threat is Kang the Conqueror, trapped in the Quantum Realm, a fully equipped being who could easily wipe out the Avengers from other universes.

These two are the real threats to the quantum realm; as for the issue of being lost, Smith Doyle sees it as not a threat at all.

Just as he was about to say something, his brow furrowed slightly.

"somebody is coming."

Hank Pym paused for a moment, then walked to the side and opened the door.

Darren Krause, who was standing in the living room, came into Hank Pym's line of sight.

"Darren!"

"How did you get in?"

As he spoke, Hank Pym put the communication jamming device in his hand into his pocket.

Hope and Scott in the monitoring room were somewhat surprised to hear that the visitor was Darren Kraus.

Smith Doyle used demonic magic to conceal the three of them and mute their voices.

Hank Pym casually closed the door to the monitoring room, and Darren pointed to the main entrance and said:

"You forgot to close the gate, Hank."

"Honestly, you're getting old."

At that moment, Hope suddenly remembered that the blueprints for the plan were still outside, and immediately whispered:
"Project blueprints!"

"No, Hank will be in danger."

At that moment, Scott immediately put on the sensor that controls the ants, went to the doorway to control the ants, and rolled up the blueprints.

Hank Pym watched the ants rolling up the blueprints, then looked at Darren and asked:

What brings you to my humble abode?

Darren said with a smile:

"There's good news."

Hank Pym asked in confusion:
"is it?"

"what news?"

Darren Krause began by saying:
"Pym Technology".

"The company you founded is about to become one of the world's most lucrative institutions."

"We expect to earn $150 billion in one day tomorrow."

"no need to thank me."

······
Monitoring room.

At that moment, Smith Doyle took out his phone; the message was from Coulson.

The Wasp suit has been successfully developed, and Darren invites S.H.I.E.L.D. to visit Pym Technologies tomorrow to see the suit and to sell it.

"Darren has sent an invitation to S.H.I.E.L.D. to visit the Wasp suit tomorrow."

Hope and Scott both looked at Smith Doyle.

Smith Doyle said:
"You need to resolve this matter yourselves."

"If you handle Darren, S.H.I.E.L.D. will choose to cooperate with you."

"But if they can't get it done, S.H.I.E.L.D. won't arrest a tech company's CEO for no reason."

"Otherwise, that would be absurd."

Hope nodded and said:
"We'll get everything sorted out before the Hornet suits go on sale."

······
Inside the villa.

Darren Krause walked up to Hank Pym and put his hand on the other's shoulder.

“I know it’s strange, but I hope you can come.”

"This is my moment, and I want you to witness it."

Hank Pym thought for a moment and then said:

"Okay, of course."

"I will be there."

As he spoke, Hank Pym distanced himself from Darren Krause.

Darren Krause glanced at the photo of Hank Pym's wife on the table, then walked over to Hank Pym and said:
What do you see in me?

Hank Pym looked at Darren Krause and said:

I don't understand what you mean.

Darren Krause began by saying:
"What did you see in me when you chose me?"

Hank Pym thought for a moment and then said:

“I saw myself.”

Darren Krause said in a deep voice:

"Then why did you drive me away?"

Hank Pym offered his own explanation:

"Because I see so much of myself in you."

Darren Krause glanced at Hank Pym, whose eyes were moist as if they were about to burst into tears.

He then opened the villa's gate and walked straight out.

At this point, Smith Doyle dispelled the spell, and the sound could be transmitted normally again.

After watching Darren Krause leave, Hank Pym returned to the monitoring room.

Smith Doyle then spoke:
"What you and Darren have to do is a matter between your family."

“I will not get involved until there is no crime or criminal activity on their part.”

"As for the quantum crisis, we can discuss it in detail after you have resolved this matter."

After saying this, Smith Doyle took his leave.

He came here partly to meet someone, and partly to inform them about the quantum crisis.

As for the specifics, Smith will discuss them in detail after the other party resolves their company matters.

Research in the quantum realm must be conducted under his supervision; he doesn't want to wake up one day to find himself surrounded by superhuman zombies.

After seeing Smith Doyle leave, Hope spoke up:
"Darren knows, he's setting a trap for you."

"We have to abandon the operation and revise the plan."

Hank Pym began by saying:
"Everything has risks, especially since Smith is supporting us."

Hope countered:
"He just doesn't object to our actions."

Hank Pym said:

"Not opposing is actually supporting."

Hope continued:

"Have you thought about what would have happened if Darren had seen me here?"

"So Scott just walked right into a trap."

Hank Pym stated directly:

"He doesn't. He can't see you at all."

Hope countered with a question:
"how do you know."

Just then, the phone rang, startling Hope.

He took out his phone and saw that the caller was Darren Kraus.

Hope glanced at everyone, then answered the phone. "Darren, hi."

Darren Krause asked as he drove:
"Hope, where are you now?"

Hope said with a smile:

"I'm home, what's wrong?"

Darren said as he drove:
“I just went to see Hank, and all I got was a look of disdain from him.”

Hope began by saying:
"Don't bother with him, he's just a grumpy old man."

Hearing his daughter describe him like that, Hank Pym's eyes widened.

"We need to start working overtime to get the production line up and running, and I also need to strengthen security measures."

"All entrances are equipped with sensors, and each vent is fitted with a micro-mesh filter."

Hope exclaimed in admiration:
“Great idea, good idea.”

Darren sighed:
"Thank you, Hope."

"It is a great honor to have you in my team."

Darren then hung up the phone.

Hope put away her phone and then looked at her father, saying:

"He has increased his guard; he has gone mad."

"And he's got his eye on you."

Hank Pym spoke directly:
"But he wasn't on guard against you."

Hope began by saying:
"He installed body scanners at every entrance and vent. How did Scott get in?"

"Why don't you just let me put on my battle suit and handle it?"

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Hank Pym couldn't think of a better solution for the time being.

Upon hearing that he was at risk of being abandoned, Scott spoke up:
"Main water valve".

"There's no way to install protective measures in the sewers, but the water pressure is too high."

"But if I could reduce the water pressure, I could get in from there."

After so much training, Scott doesn't want to give up this chance to save the world. Just like Hank Pym said before, he wants to be his daughter's hero, not go back home in disgrace after a training session. Does he want to tell his daughter that he participated in a training session to save the world?

Hope began by saying:
"That means someone has to go to the building's control center to adjust the water pressure. At that time, Hank and I will both have to be with Klaus. Who will do that?"

Scott began by saying:
"We need to recruit more people."

Hank Pym looked at Scott and said:

What are needed?

Scott began by saying:
"We need to plant a fake security guard inside to be responsible for entering the water control system to reduce pressure."

"Another person was going to hack into the power supply system to cut off the laser beam, and another person was going to help us escape."

Hank Pym immediately thought of the people Scott was implying and promptly refused:
"NO, NO, NO."

"Those three idiots won't do, absolutely not."

However, without better manpower to help, Hank Pym eventually accepted the suggestion and brought Scott's three friends to the villa to discuss the battle plan with them.

the other side.

On Coulson's side.

Inside the office.

Coulson asked:
"How's the investigation going? In Fitz's reports, has there been any trace of the missing researcher, Frank?"

Skye shook her head and said:
“We have checked all the information about this researcher Frank, as well as the surveillance footage from the roadside.”

“He went to work at Hank Pym Company as usual that day and never came out, nor did he return home.”

"He didn't even log into his email, Facebook, or other social media accounts that day."

"If it's a disappearance, then it must have happened within Pym Technologies."

Simmons said in surprise:

"The information Fitz sent back was that the other party had not been to work for three days, and it was treated as absenteeism and resignation."

Donnie Gill then shared his opinion:

"If there are no surprises, he should have died inside Pym Technologies."

"But no one knows where his body was hidden."

Coulson then spoke up:
"With that shrinking particle, disposing of corpses will be much easier."

“Killing a person, shrinking them, and flushing them down the toilet would make the small corpse easy for insects to eat or for microorganisms to decompose.”

"It will leave no trace."

Skye asked curiously:
"What was the motive for the murder?"

Colson shook his head and said:

"Perhaps they saw something they shouldn't have seen, or said something they shouldn't have said."

"Who knows?"

"However, this gives us a reason to apply for an investigation. As for this researcher Frank, we will investigate the truth for him and severely punish the murderer."

Everyone nodded, and Coulson continued:

“Skye, since he didn’t leave the company, Pym Technologies’ cameras must have records of him at the company.”

"Investigate from this angle and see if you can find any clues."

Skye nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll hack into their network and investigate."

······
The next day - night

Darren Krause scheduled the official product launch for midnight, as the product had been fully manufactured and it was time to officially unveil it to the public.

At this moment, the Pym Technologies building was brightly lit, and all the invited guests had arrived.

However, it was also obvious to everyone that Pym Technologies' security level had been raised by more than one level.

Smith Doyle, along with Coulson's team, entered Pym Technologies with the invitations.

Coulson's quiet reply:
"Director, according to our investigation, a researcher named Frank has disappeared from the company."

Coulson glanced at the excited Skye and said:
"You report on this matter."

Skye said with a bright smile:
"Thank you, sir."

Then Skye went to Smith Doyle's side and whispered in his ear:
"According to the information I obtained by hacking into their internal network monitoring, Frank and Darren entered the bathroom one after the other at 9 p.m. a week ago."

"But after that, only Darren came out; Frank disappeared without a trace."

"At the same time, the surveillance footage showed that Darren was holding a yellow object that looked like a pistol."

"Based on our deductions, Frank was likely killed by Darren."

Smith Doyle nodded after listening, and then said:
"Very good, you did a great job."

"In that case, it's no longer an internal matter for them. We have zero tolerance for murderers."

"However, we'll attend their press conference first, and we'll address the investigation, charges, and arrests later."

Everyone nodded. Coulson and the others knew that Pym Technologies might be fine, but their CEO, Darren, was truly doomed.

At this moment, Skye suddenly asked:
"Chief Smith, I'm here to apply for your assistant position. I've been studying under Commander Coulson for quite some time now. When can I come and be your assistant?"

Smith Doyle was taken aback. How come he didn't know that he was going to be his assistant?
Seeing Chief Smith's gaze, Coulson gave an awkward laugh and said:
“Sir, Skye is mainly here to apply for your assistant position, but she has no prior experience as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, so she’s coming to my team to learn for a while.”

Smith Doyle also realized that Coulson was using his name to recruit people.

"Skye, now that you think you've learned enough, report to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters after this mission is over."

"Perfect timing to fill the assistant vacancy."

Skye excitedly made a fist gesture when she heard that she could become Smith Doyle's assistant.

Coulson's heart was bleeding: Another superhuman teammate of mine is gone?
