Chapter 980: JARVIS Taking Action

Chapter 980: JARVIS Taking Action

“Anton! Go!” After Lin Rui reminded Scott, Scott immediately climbed onto Anton’s back and shouted loudly.

Hoo hoo!

Next, Anton spread its wings and lifted off. Guided by Scott’s direction, it swiftly flew to the room that Lin Rui had just indicated. If Scott successfully accomplishes the mission and returns safely, he will definitely reach out to that talented young man once more and express his gratitude properly.

Tony Stark was caught off guard by the sudden development on the monitoring screen, as he sat in the Stark Industries building in the heart of New York. Meanwhile, Scott was perched on Anton’s back and making his way into the cramped room.

“JARVIS, what’s going on? Why did the attack get abruptly canceled?” Tony asked directly as he saw Scott fly into the small room where the sundries were placed on the Anton.

Tony had not given the command to halt the attack, so the only explanation for the cancellation of the laser network was JARVIS acting without authorization. Despite JARVIS’s recent advancements in independent thinking, it still shouldn’t have been capable of such a step.

This raised concerns for Tony about the possibility of a problem with the JARVIS system. He couldn’t help but consider this as a possibility.

“Sir, I received a message from Mr. Jackson, which is why I canceled the attack,” JARVIS replied to Tony’s inquiry.

“Jackson’s message? What does that have to do with that kid again?” Tony was even more surprised upon hearing JARVIS’s response.

Lin Rui had just had a supernatural encounter in Rochester a few days ago and had asked SHIELD for assistance. Now this man who had the ability to make himself small was invading Tony’s secret base, and just as Tony was about to destroy the intruder, JARVIS received another message from Lin Rui. He was certainly resourceful.

“Here is the message Jackson sent me, asking me to stop the attack on the intruder,” JARVIS said, sending the message to Tony for review.

Huh~

“JARVIS, this is Jackson. Stop attacking. The other party has no hostile intentions,” Lin Rui’s message read.

In order to quickly verify the authenticity of the message, Lin Rui not only revealed his identity but also included a special identifier in the message. Without these elements, JARVIS would not have been able to cancel the attack without going through Tony.

“Oh, you want to play hide-and-seek with us now?” Tony smirked as Lin Rui was more forthcoming with his identity this time compared to their last encounter in Rochester.

“Since the intruder is associated with Jackson, let him go. I don’t think you need to trace the origin of this message,” Tony said to JARVIS, now relaxed.

“The source of the signal is very clear. It came from the intruder. However, I can no longer locate Jackson. Also, the intruder appears to be searching for something, an item that was kept after the warehouse was cleared,” JARVIS replied promptly to Tony’s words.

“It’s nothing unusual. Looks like Jackson still wants to have some fun for a few more days. Let him be. As for what the intruder is searching for, unless it’s one of our confidential materials, it doesn’t matter,” Tony said.

“Understood, sir,” JARVIS responded.

JARVIS continued to discreetly monitor Scott, who was searching for the signal disguiser in the small room. Tony was not overly concerned. Since this intruder was connected to Lin Rui, he would eventually learn about the technology once Lin Rui had had enough fun.

…

“Anton! We found it! Let’s go!” Scott exclaimed ten seconds later, having finally located the object he was searching for in the small room.

Huh~

Anton, who was waiting nearby, quickly flew over and carried Scott out of the small room and back to the warehouse outside. With no time to examine the aftermath of the laser net, Scott was eager to leave before the defense system fully recovered. He didn’t want to waste any more time.

Brush!

Finally, Scott emerged from the warehouse without any obstructions and was back outside. However, just as he was preparing to face the attack from the two soldiers guarding the area, he realized that their figures were no longer there. With Lin Rui having asked JARVIS to cancel the attack, there was no longer any need for Frank and his partners to remain outside.

“Hmmm? Do they think I got taken out by the laser net attack? It’s definitely a possibility,” Scott mused as he surveyed his surroundings and confirmed the absence of the soldiers.

“Scott! You’re alive! That’s great news!” Dr. Pym’s voice came through Scott’s earpiece, indicating that their communication had been restored.

“I’m still alive. Returning now,” Scott replied as he and the three ant teams accompanying him flew towards the nearest airport. They still had a plane ride ahead of them.

…

As Scott departed safely from Stark’s secret base and began his journey back, Lin Rui, who was located in another city, ceased monitoring Scott’s progress through the communicator. With Lin Rui’s assistance, the most perilous situation had been successfully navigated and there was no longer a need for further surveillance during Scott’s return trip.

“What’s going on?” Bucky, who had been sitting across from Lin Rui, abruptly inquired as he noticed Lin Rui’s expression shift from relaxed to tense.

As Lin Rui was communicating with Scott, Bucky had been closely observing him. He was able to overhear everything that was being said between Lin Rui and Scott. Although Bucky was not aware of the specific details regarding Scott’s situation, it was clear to him that Lin Rui had played a crucial role in resolving the issue.

“Well, Scott was just in some danger, and I assisted in handling it.” Lin Rui nodded in response upon hearing Bucky’s statement.

“In this way, he should be able to trust us completely. Then, it should be easier for you to deal with that Bad Person.” Although he doesn’t know how Lin Rui is helping Scott by sitting here, Bucky doesn’t care, the only thing he cares about is what they are going to do.

“Perhaps, but things never tend to be straightforward,” Lin Rui replied with a blink of his eyes, in response to Bucky’s words. He understood that situations often escalate and become more complex and dire.

Based on Lin Rui’s prior experiences, he knows that every time he intervenes in a situation, there will always be unanticipated changes and an increase in complexity and danger, as a result of his involvement. This is an inescapable principle. As a result, Lin Rui believes that the Antman incident will not be as straightforward as it may seem.
