Dr. Pym and the others had taken care of the alarm system, which had been the most troublesome thing, and Luke no longer had any worries.

The first Trailblazer was as fast as lightning.

The vibranium antennae vibrated at a high frequency, and the Trailblazer turned into an indestructible drill that tore through layers of protective cover and charged into Pym Technologies’ backup database.

Luke continued humming. “It’s him, it’s him, it’s him. The little monster is here~”

The Trailblazer charged at the data cable and cut it open to connect to it. Data started to scroll down Luke’s virtual screen.

If Darren hadn’t been dealt with tonight, Luke would still have needed to crack the security program.

Now, he just inputted Darren’s secret passcode and bypassed the security program to directly download the data.

The alarm system had been blocked by Dr. Pym and the others. The surveillance team didn’t notice anything wrong with the database, which allowed Luke to download the data like crazy.

A minute later, Luke frowned and looked at Trailblazer 2. “This Scott is quite capable. He followed us so quickly. No wonder he was able to give Rhodes a hard time.”

The second Trailblazer had specifically destroyed the entry point because Luke didn’t want Scott to arrive too quickly.

Trailblazer 1’s data transfer was very fast, but there was a lot of data on the Pym Particle.

The database was already working at max speed; it would take at least ten to fifteen minutes.

Looking at Scott, who was moving through the duct and would reach the database in 30 seconds at most, Luke chuckled and pressed the “Capture” command on the remote control interface. “Go, invincible Trailblazer!”

Two red dots suddenly lit up on the head of Trailblazer 2, which had been guarding the way.

This was caused by a high output of internal energy, which gave the originally cold and dark machine a berserk appearance.

Crack!

Trailblazer 2 created a small hole in the duct, and it charged in Scott’s direction at an astonishing speed.

In the meantime, Scott hit his head inside the duct. He didn’t forget to send Dr. Pym a message: “God, this is the eighth detour I’ve taken. It’s finally coming to an end.”

Dr. Pym said worriedly, “Don’t be careless. Someone is probably one step ahead of us.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but think of the bigshot who sold everything who had tipped him off. His expression was quite ugly. Sure enough, none of these black-hearted businessmen were good.

Howard Stark was a thief, and Pennyworth was a robber.

He cursed inwardly, but couldn’t explain it to his daughter and Scott.

That was because it would take at least ten minutes to explain Pennyworth’s background and the subtle relationship between the two parties.

He didn’t have the time right now.

Even a simple explanation would interfere with Scott’s focus on the mission… Hm, what the hell was Scott talking about?

On the other side, Scott had just sent the message, when he saw a black shadow with two tiny red dots lunge at him.

Given his natural intuition for danger and battle, he subconsciously somersaulted and jumped away from Anthony.

Then, Anthony turned back into an ordinary ant — a shadow flashed past and broke its wings, but didn’t hurt its body.

Crack!

There was a faint crack as a black dot appeared on the wall of the concrete duct.

It had six legs and four antennae, and a pair of small red eyes. When it missed, it hit the wall of the duct and remained firmly on it as it raised its head to look at Scott.

After Scott regained his balance, he cried out in a devastated tone, “Anthony~~”

A flying ant without wings fell in front of him before it quickly stood up. It wanted to flap its wings and take off, but could only jump around.

Scott was gobsmacked. “Huh? You’re not dead?”

Putting away his sadness, he turned around and met the Trailblazer’s red eyes. “WTF? What kind of ant is that?”

As soon as he cursed, he saw the black, red-eyed giant ant bend its six legs.

Crack!

Another part of the wall shattered, and the monster lunged at him like a ghost.

Alarmed, Scott hurriedly hid among the ants.

When the Trailblazer got close, it suddenly paused before veering ten centimeters to the side.

The ants were bowled over. Scott rolled and then got on another flying ant. As he ran, he shouted, “F*ck, what a strong ant. I can’t beat it! Hank, do something!”

It wasn’t that Scott was acting stupid, but that Dr. Pym had a way to control ants.

Even if he couldn’t completely control wild ants, it was still very easy to interfere with their movements.

Dr. Pym said, “Hang in there. My surveillance ants are almost there.”

The Ant-Man suit was indeed very effective, but the problem of a shaky video feed had yet to be resolved.

Thus, Dr. Pym had to wait for the mini surveillance robots to arrive before he could confirm what kind of ‘strong ant’ Scott had encountered.

But the Trailblazer wasn’t an ant in the real sense. It had an energy system that could be called nuclear power, and a small but extremely sturdy vibranium body.

It relied on its invulnerability and speed, and Scott yelled as he frantically tried to escape.

But the battlefield was in a duct, and Scott couldn’t even run fast.

Dr. Pym was anxious. “Hang in there. I’m on my way… huh?”

Looking at the feed transmitted by his mini robots, Dr. Pym was stunned.

Scott’s desperate voice rang out in his earpiece. “I’m not gonna make it.”

A moment ago, seeing Scott yell as he was being chased, Luke had manually adjusted Trailblazer 2’s battle program.

It suddenly slowed down in its attack.

When Scott rolled to the side again to dodge, Trailblazer 2 suddenly exerted strength in two of its legs and kicked lightly so that it flew to the side along with Scott.

Its other six legs opened wide, and it hugged Scott from behind.

Then, Scott saw the head of the enormous black ant above him. A pair of small red eyes flickered, and four thick antennae were aimed at his head.

Scott felt like pissing his pants. F*ck, big ants really aren’t cute! 

When Dr. Pym saw that, his heart jumped. What should he do?

This was a duct. Apart from the ants, nobody could help Scott.

But it wasn’t like the ants were Transformers; it was impossible to rescue Scott.

At that moment, the Trailblazer’s red eyes suddenly turned dark, and a voice rang out. “Scott Lang, you’re under arrest! You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say will be used against you in a court of law. You can start thinking of a defense now. If you can’t think of one, we won’t provide you with a lawyer anyway. Thank you for your cooperation!”
