Chapter 1486: The Appearance of Unity, But Divided at Heart

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the morning, Misty followed Luke around to familiarize herself with the environment, before they started working cases.

They had a decent lunch, and at three in the afternoon, Luke told her that they were done for the day.

She subconsciously looked at her watch and couldn’t help but ask, “It’s only three, right?”

Luke had said just now that they would get off work at half past three in the afternoon.

Luke nodded matter-of-factly. “That’s right. I have something to do today, so I’m getting off work a little earlier. You can go to the gym as well. Consider it rehabilitation training.”

Misty said, “But we’ve only just started working on this case…”

Luke waved his hand. “Selina and I are in the top five during the police department’s performance evaluation every month. We have to leave something for other people to do, or they’ll hate us.”

With that, Luke drove off.

Misty was left stunned for a long while. So, he could get into the top five in the Detective Bureau despite working just five hours a day?

Recalling John McClane, who was notorious in NYPD but ranked first in the Detective Bureau, she couldn’t help but mutter, “So, is everyone in the Detective Bureau monsters?”

She had also done very well in various departments in the past, but as the rookie here, it seemed that she had to work harder to catch up with these monsters!

…

Luke wasn’t lying. He really did have something on.

At half past three in the afternoon, his Level 2 clone would head to Pym Technologies to carry out the inspection.

The Level 1 clone’s investigation had to do with harvesting points. Luke had to become familiar with triple-mode operation, or he would be easily distracted.

Misty wasn’t Selina. He didn’t want her to notice, so it was best to get off work early as per usual.

When Luke returned home, his clone left the San Francisco branch of the Titanium Phone Company and eventually arrived at the entrance of Pym Technologies.

Seeing that he was alone, the seven or eight people who were already waiting were stumped.

Then, a person who looked like a secretary looked at the photo in the file and whispered a confirmation of Luke’s identity to the bigshots in the company, before they came forward.

At that moment, Luke was using an alias called Sean Connery. He was a white man who looked to be in his fifties. He wore a pair of light gray sunglasses and looked very serious.

He picked up his pace and met with the people from Pym Technologies. After a brief exchange of greetings, Luke said, “I still have a lot of work to do. I found the time to fly over, and I have to take a plane back tonight. So, gentlemen, let’s get started.”

The bigshots at Pym Technologies were stunned for a moment, but they didn’t think it was strange.

There were too many people with this sort of disposition in tech companies.

Since they were the ones looking to the other party for help, they naturally had to go along with what he said.

Since Luke said that he had to catch a plane tonight, Pym Technologies didn’t waste time showing him around the various departments, and they went straight to product testing.

An hour later, Luke thoughtfully weighed the compact box in his hand. “Not bad. Your product indeed has vast potential. I think highly of it.”

At that moment, only the CEO of Pym Technologies, Darren, and the head of the research department, Hope van Dyne, were present.

Darren was a bald middle-aged man who had the typical air of a businessman.

Hope was a young woman, but with her black hair and slightly weathered features, she looked even older.

In short, this girl wasn’t Luke’s type at all.

He wasn’t even interested in giving her another look, but Luke’s glasses had been focused on her the whole time.

Not only that, he also paid attention to her with Basic Psychology and Mental Communication. He also used a very minute amount of Pheromone Control to prevent her from developing any ill feelings toward him.

That was right, a minute amount of Pheromone Control just barely prevented her from feeling disgust.

If it wasn’t for this ability, this girl would definitely be the classic example of a broad smile on the outside while cursing on the inside.

The bald CEO, on the other hand, had a good attitude — at least, when it came to discussions about money, he would perk up.

Luke had spent an hour here today, and had focused mostly on observing these two people.

It had only taken him ten minutes to determine the value of the product called the Pym Particle. He didn’t need to look more closely at it at all.

Darren wasn’t an idiot; whatever he showed an outsider like Luke was only part of the technology.

If Luke hadn’t displayed the bad temper characteristic of a scientist, Darren would’ve already roped him into talks about the money.

After this observation, Luke didn’t waste any more time. He said that the product was good, and they should be able to discuss the money.

Leaving Pym Technologies, Luke got into the limo, and the driver asked respectfully, “Mr. Connery, shall I take you to the airport now?”

Luke hummed an affirmative and didn’t say anything else. He simply turned around and looked at the two people at the entrance of Pym Technologies. He couldn’t help but say, “Hehe, interesting.”

Half an hour later, the limo left the airport and the private plane took off as scheduled.

At that moment, Luke walked out of the airport again, but he had already changed into a hoodie and a cap. He lowered his head and disappeared into the night.

…

In his New York home, Luke looked at the files with great interest. “Hope van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym, the founder of the company, helped Darren to gain control of her father’s company, and then kicked her father out. Tsk, tsk. What kind of family drama is this? Did Hank find a stepmother for his daughter, and then…”

At that point, he shook his head again. “Fine, Hope is clearly hostile toward Darren, but she doesn’t show it on the surface. Darren actually doesn’t trust Hope, and seems to be mocking her? This is really… complicated.”

Once again, money made people more monster than human.

Hank Pym, the founder of Pym Technologies, had been Darren’s mentor, but the latter and Hank’s daughter, Hope, had kicked Hank out.

Now, Darren and Hope didn’t see eye to eye, and each had their own plans.

At the very least, Hope didn’t want Darren to get the funding.

Her mind had fluctuated strongly every time she heard Luke approve the Pym Particle technology.

Luke had naturally sensed this with his ability.

Darren and Hope’s reactions were too obvious, since they didn’t have their guards up.

Luke didn’t have to think too much to guess most of it.

As a result, his clone couldn’t return to New York immediately.

Whatever the two thought, Luke was very interested in the Pym Particle.

However, he wasn’t interested in Pym Technologies.

Pym Technologies wasn’t a newbie in the field, and had many tech secrets.

Even the lab team only knew part of the manufacturing process for the Pym Particle at most, and the key data and steps were still in the company’s mainframe.

Furthermore, although Darren was a turncoat and Hope a fraud, it wasn’t like the other dozen shareholders of Pym Technologies had done anything to piss off Luke.

He wasn’t crazy enough to charge in and steal their technology.
