The experience and credit points shared by teammates, which had basically stopped recently, started flowing into the system again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few days, while the Level 1 clone was still in the early stages of preparations in Mexico, the Level 2 clone in San Francisco investigated Dr. Pym’s whereabouts during the day and plundered drug dealers at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Dr. Pym was nowhere to be seen for the time being, Luke had amassed a staggering number of points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only Phil who got back to him with not-so-good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury agreed to work together, but the director wanted to negotiate the extent of the cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phil was clearly embarrassed, and specially sent an apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t sneer, and simply replied, “Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury expressed his intention to cooperate, but was stressing the details of the cooperation as a way to buy time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a classic stall tactic, which wasn’t unusual for the bureaucratic system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a little wrangling, this excuse would give Nick Fury two to three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the situation was good, Batman wouldn’t be allowed to intervene. If the situation was bad, the director could immediately ask for help, to either attack or retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Luke was busy right now and had never counted on Nick Fury’s integrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the man didn’t have this trick, what was the point of being a bigshot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Nick Fury’s most honest performance. He was probably doing this for Phil’s sake, or he would have given an even more “official” answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a month of hard work, Luke finally found traces of Dr. Hank Pym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man had gone to a supermarket to buy a large amount of supplies, and was accidentally caught on a surveillance camera which Luke had set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after this single appearance, Dr. Pym disappeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were basically no surveillance cameras around the supermarket, and it was right next to a main road connecting the city and the outskirts. Who knew where Dr. Pym went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke simply used a mid-sized drone to search the supermarket before widening the search from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t really have much hope in this strategy, which was like searching for a needle in a haystack. The real opportunity was actually Dr. Pym’s next shopping trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he came back to this supermarket, it would be easy to find the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Alfred sent him a suspicious message the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the virtual screen, two pictures were displayed side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the left was a photo of a small building in the woodland outskirts of San Francisco.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no information on the building in various San Francisco databases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t unusual. Some people built their own place after buying the land, so it was possible that it wasn’t registered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alfred didn’t get tired. He started looking for relevant information when he found something suspicious, and then found a satellite image, which was displayed on the right side of the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The satellite photo was taken five days ago, and showed that there was no building in the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few glances, Luke asked Alfred, “Did you send the drones?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfred said, “They reached the building five minutes ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Don’t get too close. Just keep an eye on it. There’s no need to use electronic detection; just a visual observation will do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Pym was quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s clone headed for the building at that moment, and he made sure that he could be clearly seen. He didn’t want to alarm Mr. Pym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, a bigshot in a black suit who was holding a walking cane appeared outside the building and walked unhurriedly to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling at the camera, Luke asked, “Is anyone home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, a voice came through the loudspeaker at the door. “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “You can call me Pennyworth. I want to talk business with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reply immediately rang out over the loudspeaker. “I’m not doing business. Please leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s smile didn’t waver. “You’re not interested in Pym Technologies’ business?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loudspeaker was silent for a moment. “Who sent you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “I represent myself, not anyone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, the door suddenly opened. “I’ll give you five minutes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 minutes later, Luke walked out with a helpless expression. He turned around and bowed slightly to the door. “My apologies, Dr. Pym. I didn’t think it through this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he took out a card and flicked it through the room so that it landed on a cabinet. “This is my contact. If you need help, I can help you once for free. Of course, it has to be within my abilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned around and disappeared into the dark woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the building, Dr. Pym used his equipment to scan the card, but didn’t find anything wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t look very happy either. “What’s the point of saying so much? If you can’t do it, you can’t do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That being said, he didn’t throw the card away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something special about this person who claimed to sell everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to find this building and appear silently within a range of 20 meters before being discovered, he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other party not being able to reach a deal with him, Dr. Pym wouldn’t underestimate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was that easy to get back Pym Technologies and destroy the files in Darren Cross’s hands, would Dr. Pym have to live in hiding now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darren also had part of the technology for the Pym Particle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that Dr. Pym had which Darren didn’t was the suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to talk to anyone who was interested in the suit. It was a pure waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming that this Pennyworth was gone, Dr. Pym quickly packed up and exited the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed a remote on the keypad in his hand, and the building disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the five-centimeter-tall building and put it in his suitcase. He then took out a three-centimeter-long SUV from the suitcase and placed it on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving back a few meters, he pressed a button on the remote again, and the SUV instantly enlarged into a regular-sized SUV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting into the car, Dr.. Pym hit the gas pedal and the SUV quickly drove down the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>",1261,"2026-06-06T03:36:25.206Z",1,"novelbin.me","dfc9f261f40703048825effdbf80dabdff1fe9608494274a37f3a3963ab96adf","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1490","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1488",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
