Chapter 1931: He’s Still a Kid, She’s Not a Kid Anymore

Dr. Pym turned around angrily and glared at his daughter.

Hope was also a little angry. “If we hadn’t gotten the message, we wouldn’t have known that someone ran off to his ex-wife’s house and even started fighting in front of everyone.”

Don’t make it sound like I was fighting Maggie! Scott had just finished cursing inwardly, when he suddenly came back to himself. F*ck! I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead!

While a very scared Scott faced his soon-to-be girlfriend and cheap father-in-law, Luke’s clone had already left for the Pacific Ocean.

Over the dark ocean, Luke sighed. “Darren, I gave you such a good opportunity, but you didn’t use it!”

Just now, his clone had been hiding next to Maggie and Cassie, ready to save them at a critical moment.

The best time was undoubtedly when Scott failed and Darren was about to attack the mother and daughter.

For Scott, who valued his daughter more than himself, this would be a true life-saving debt that he would never forget.

In the end, Luke had come up with many plot lines, but he hadn’t expected Darren to be so useless.

Scott had been wearing an outdated Ant-Man suit, yet he had taken Darren down with one hit.

It could only be said that Darren was one of those trashy villains who, when they lost, even did so in such a stupid way.

Back then, Obadiah’s Iron Monger, which had been worth tens of millions, had lost to the Bat darts, but it was Batman who had thrown them out.

Darren had lost to a ping-pong bat and a bug zapper!

Was he worthy of the Pym Particle? Was he worthy of those appendages that could shoot out laser beams? How embarrassing!

An utterly depressed Luke had simply given the bug zapper another boost of electricity before he put an unconscious Darren into Space 2.

He had failed in his biggest goal, but it wasn’t a loss since he had been able to obtain a clearly functional Yellowjacket suit.

Now that Darren had entered Space 2, Luke naturally had to interrogate him about everything he knew.

Although it was impossible for him to remember all the data on the Pym Particle, he would definitely know the key points like the back of his hand. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be the person in charge of the most advanced tech at Pym Technologies.

Luke hadn’t earned as much from this plan, but he hadn’t lost out.

Thinking that, the clone put away its regret and flew further over the Pacific Ocean.

…

In the mountains of New Jersey at the end of March, Luke and Frank were busy at the grill.

Carrie, Mindy and Alice were playing on the other side of a creek.

Luke asked casually, “Is Alice really willing to let Carrie go to school?”

Frank flipped the meat and checked the temperature. “Carrie brought it up herself. Alice is worried, so she wanted to ask you.”

Luke hummed in understanding.

He was currently using his Big Dipper alias, and Big Dipper was the one who had rescued Alice and Carrie.

Big Dipper was also recognized as the superhuman with mental powers on the team, and hence was the same as Carrie.

Whether or not Carrie’s mental state was good enough for her to attend school would be up to him.

As for the witch Wanda, Frank and Alice didn’t consider her at all.

It wasn’t a matter of ability, but of trust.

Given how Wanda had almost ‘annihilated’ the Avengers, Frank didn’t dare hand his adopted daughter over to the witch for an inspection.

Frank didn’t get a response. He turned around and saw Luke looking thoughtfully at Carrie, who was jumping around the creek with Mindy.

His heart tightened, and he asked in a low voice, “Is there a problem?”

Luke shook his head and continued cutting the bacon. “No, her condition has stabilized. However, it’s best to give her a relatively simple environment at the beginning.”

Frank heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ve discussed it with Alice. Carrie will be 16 soon. We can send her to a private middle school in New Jersey. If she’s fine for a year, she can attend a university in New Jersey.”

Luke was amused. “The same one as Mindy?”

Frank also smiled. “Well, they’re very close.”

Luke didn’t say anything else.

Frank was indeed concerned about Mindy, but it mainly had to do with her father, whom he had beaten up.

Even heroes had a soft heart for beauties! Luke sighed inwardly.

But that was a good thing.

Given Alice and Carrie’s situation, it was impossible for them to find an ordinary man to be the head of the family; he wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure at all.

Of course, this wasn’t a reference to Alice’s body weight.

Certainly, Frank had indeed been using Life 1 strangely often for a while, but that was a private matter between him and Alice.

In any case, Frank was fine and hadn’t been crippled.

Luke wasn’t stupid enough to ask this cheap uncle what it felt like to have his bones broken.

However, since then, Frank had asked Knight a lot more about cultivating the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique.

Also, since this cheap uncle could have a wife and daughter again, Luke could be considered to have repaid the favor which Robert owed him.

Although this favor didn’t mean much to Luke and Frank, it was very important to Robert.

Soon, Luke was done with his part. He took off his gloves and said to Frank, “I’ll talk to Carrie in private.”

Frank hummed in response.

When Luke walked to the creek, Frank looked at Luke’s back and sighed.

Given Big Dipper’s personality, it was very kind of him to talk to Carrie even after already saying that it was fine.

Luke said a few words, and Alice nodded with a smile. She grabbed Mindy, who was about to join in on the fun. “Let’s see if Frank needs any help first.”

Mindy rolled her eyes. After confirming that she had no chance to eavesdrop on Big Dipper and Carrie, she could only accept her fate.

It was impossible to struggle. It wasn’t a problem for Alice to stand there and let her struggle for a hundred years.

Luke put his hands in his pockets and slowly led Carrie up the creek.

Once they were out of sight, he said, “Are you sure you want to see this world for yourself?”

Carrie gave an affirmative “mm.”

Luke said, “That’s true. Otherwise, your mother and Frank would be worried.”

Carrie hummed in agreement again.

Luke changed the topic. “What’s going on between you and Mindy?”

Carrie was silent.

Luke turned around. “Joseph is still young. He’s still a kid.”

Carrie burst out laughing, and her laugh grew louder and happier.

Luke didn’t stop her. He simply shrugged and continued walking.

Carrie giggled for a long while before she finally stopped. “Don’t think he never told me that joke.”

Luke smiled and nodded. “Don’t hold back if you can understand the joke. You’ve grown up.”

Carrie’s smile faded. She picked up her pace and hugged his arm. “I’m still growing. You become my brother, too.”

Luke was helpless, but he didn’t shake her off. “Do you want to say that you’re still a kid?”

Hearing that, Carrie recalled that video meme of everyone in a family taking turns to say, “He’s still a kid.” She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

As she laughed, she didn’t forget to punch his arm. “Don’t make me laugh. Mindy learned bad things from you.”

Luke shook his head solemnly. “She’s not a kid anymore.”

This time, Carrie didn’t say anything and simply punched him.
