The Devil Comes to the United States

Chapter 349 Milkman

Zed uses a simple spell to hypnotize the neighborhood milkman, and he takes over the job in the area where Scott's ex-wife, Maggie, lives.

"Okay, I've handed over the work of these few days to me, and you will wait for me here from now on." Zed took the milk bottle from the milkman, got on his bicycle and rode towards Maggie's house.

Maggie got up early and was making breakfast for her daughter Kathy, when she heard the milkman's bell, she opened the house and walked out.

Zed held up two bottles of milk and explained:
"Ma'am, I'm sorry. My name is Angelo. I'm a little late today. Tom is sick and asked for leave. I'm a substitute for the past few days. I'm not very familiar with this community."

"Tom is sick? I hope he gets better soon. Thank you, Angelo. I wish you success in your work." Maggie took two bottles of milk and greeted Angelo.

"Thank you, ma'am." Angelo thanked him, then got on his bicycle and rode towards the next house.

Maggie's current husband, Paxton, came out of the house and asked:
"What's the matter, Maggie?"

"Tom is sick. It's Angelo who is taking over the milk for us these days. I had a little chat with him just now." Maggie turned and went back to the house, and started working on breakfast again.

Paxton tilted his head and muttered:

"It's true that it's the season of frequent colds. We should also pay attention to it. We can't let Casey catch a cold too."

"Yeah, wake Kathy up for me, it's time for her to have breakfast," Maggie called from the kitchen.

"Ok."

Hope came to Dr. Pym's house and looked at the clumsy Scott who was furious. She really couldn't understand why her father chose such an incompetent man to become Ant-Man.

Hope is not only Pim's biological daughter, but also has excellent combat ability. She couldn't figure out why Pim would rather find an outsider than let his daughter become Ant-Man.

If Pim finds an outsider who is better than himself to inherit the name of Ant-Man, Hope will not say anything, and she is not an unreasonable person.But Scott is really terrible, fighting, sneaking, controlling ants... Scott can't do anything better than Hope, even, Scott doesn't know what quantum mechanics is at all!

Don't understand quantum mechanics?What a shame!
"Come here, let's practice. You may need some fighting instruction." Hope put on his tracksuit and gave Scott a provocative look.

Scott looked at Hope in disbelief, and said in surprise:
"Are you sure? You want to teach me to fight? Come on, I'm very strong. I fought a lot in prison."

Bang!Bang!Bang!
There was a sound of fist bumps and a man's wailing in the basement. Dr. Pym stood at the door and shuddered suddenly, thankful that he wasn't the one who was beaten.

"God! Can you be gentle! I suspect that you just want to hit me! Hiss~" Scott covered his nose with his left hand and blocked it with his right hand, wanting to take a short breath.

But Hope wouldn't let Scott get what he wanted, and she launched another storm of attacks, beating Scott to the ground.While "guiding" Scott, Hope "revealed his heart" and said:

"I don't understand what's so special about a guy like you. Why would Pim choose a guy like you? I'm obviously better than you! Everything!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Scott, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, fell to the ground panting heavily, and after a while he said:
"You're blaming Pim wrong. I also have a daughter. If I were Pim, I wouldn't let my daughter become Ant-Man."

Hope suddenly became interested in what Scott said. She wanted to know how the father of the other family's daughter explained it, so she looked at Scott and motioned him to continue talking.

While wiping his nosebleeds, Scott talked eloquently:

"Hope, look at me, what do you think I am? Ant-Man? Thief? Neither. I am a sacrificial soldier. Dr. Pym chose me to be Ant-Man because he can accept my sacrifice.

"But yours, no. Dr. Pym he can sacrifice me, accept his own failure, etc., but he doesn't want you to take the risk.

"Although I feel bad about being the one who could be sacrificed, from a 'selfish' father's point of view, I can understand what he's doing."

Hope was greatly touched in his heart, but he didn't show it, and he still looked cold.But Hope herself didn't realize that she was not so resistant and annoying to Scott.

In the next few days, Hope did not make things difficult for Scott, but instead helped him learn the abilities he should master.The relationship between Hope and Pim has also eased a lot, and everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

But Hope didn't know that Darren already knew that she was a double agent, and that she was now on Pym's side.The delivery date was getting closer, and Darren hadn't made a breakthrough yet.

"Damn it! Pym! Pym! Why didn't you cooperate with me? Why couldn't I recover Pym particles? Why? Why!" Darren was so angry that he pushed down everything on the table.

Wow~wow~
"This is the only last way!" Darren calmed down and dialed the phone number of his subordinates. "Spread out the news that the Hornets suit has been completed. Everything is going according to plan. In addition, the company's security is secretly increased to protect us. The guests prepare a big gift."

Darren really didn't want to use this method unless it was a last resort.As a proud scientist, he still wants to crack the formula of Pym particles himself, and he will feel a sense of accomplishment in doing so.

But the reality no longer allows Darren to be willful. If he can't make a Hornets suit, Darren will become a big joke and be ridiculed by countless people and colleagues.

"Hey, look at this guy, he's that inept Darren Crozier. He claims to have finished the Hornets suit, but he didn't finish it at all. He's a liar! And he's incompetent..."

Darren was about to go crazy just thinking about this scene. Unable to bear this insult, Darren gave up his self-esteem and pride as a scientist, and said to himself:
"The Hornet suit, I must finish it! At all costs!"

Angelo rode a small bicycle, honked the horn of the little yellow duck, entered the community in the early morning sun, and greeted with a smile:

"Good morning, Sir.

"Good morning, ma'am.

"Mr Paxton, good morning, here is your milk."

Paxton held Casey's little hand who had just woken up, and greeted Angelo:

"Yo, Angelo."
