When Daron received the news, he rushed out of the hospital that night. Looking at the empty Pim Technology building, his eyes immediately became moist. "Damn that old thing. F * ck you!"
He only needed to take one look to know that it was definitely Pim's particles.
How could an ordinary explosion completely destroy a building?!
Apart from him, Dr. Pim was the only one who possessed Pim's particles.
The problem was that Dr. Pim had already destroyed the building. Did he need to care about Daron's feelings? Obviously, there was no need.
They had been master and student for many years, and both knew each other's backgrounds.
When Dr. Pim had appeared frequently, Daron knew that his research was on the right track, which was why he had sped up the research.
Even that bastard Scott Lang was hired by Dr. Pim to do the dirty work.
He had prepared a perfect plan, and had been waiting for his return to lure the snake out of its hole and catch them all in one fell swoop.
But … it was gone! Everything was gone!
It would take at least three to five years to restore the current database, even if he had all the necessary funds.
At that moment, Daron gritted his teeth in hatred.
He didn't just hate Dr. Pim, but also the officials who didn't allow him to make more backups.
If he had a backup, he would only lose some funds and equipment if the building was gone, and he could get a new set in a few months.
Do you really think I'm a f * cking philanthropist? He took out his phone gloomily. "Carlson, the deal is done, but I have a request …"
…
For the people of San Francisco, the disappearance of the Pim Technology building was nothing.
Most people wouldn't even know that the company existed in San Francisco if it hadn't been mentioned in the daily news.
What's more, it was just a 20-story building that was located in the outskirts of the city.
Last month, more than five buildings in downtown San Francisco were completely destroyed, more than twenty buildings were sealed up for inspection, and hundreds of houses were severely damaged.
Any one of the five buildings was a super building that was thirty to fifty stories tall. The Pim Technology building was not worth mentioning at all.
The city's radiation cleansing was still ongoing, and would be completed in a month.
More than forty percent of the residents couldn't return to their houses immediately and were homeless.
They were all victims of the disaster. Who the hell cared about the capitalists?
So the disappearance of the Pim Technology building didn't attract much attention.
However, this matter caused a huge uproar among the officials and the upper echelons.
Over the past ten years, several forces had invested billions of dollars and built up a lot of relationships and connections.
The golden fruit of this exclusive business was about to ripen, but in the blink of an eye, more than half of it had been dug out by someone else. How could he tolerate this?
Dr. Pim was already on the blacklist of all the intelligence agencies.
Although he was not publicly wanted, as long as this old man dared to show his face, he would definitely be captured and sent to Daron.
At that time, the old man's death would be Pim Technology's "family business."
On the other hand, Dr. Pim's daughter, Hope, was completely fine.
Hope herself didn't understand the technology of Pim particles, and she was also a "victim" this time — she still had a lot of shares in Pim Technology. Now that the building had evaporated, a large amount of her assets had also evaporated.
Back then, when she was still a major shareholder, she stood on Daron's side and kicked Dr. Pimm out of the board of directors of Pimm Technology and made Daron the CEO position.
Her relationship with Dr. Pym had been strained over the years, which was why Darren had the chance to get this big job.
In this society, rich families that turned against each other for money were common news.
They couldn't just accuse her of colluding with Dr. Pim.
Thus, the American authorities couldn't cause trouble for Hope, and even had to appease her.
Otherwise, it would be reasonable for her to work with other shareholders to review the internal management of the company.
After all, such a huge building had actually been destroyed. At the very least, the management of Pim Technology would be accused of mismanagement.
If she made a fuss, the reconstruction of Pim Technology would be greatly hampered.
Scott didn't show his face at all.
He wasn't a tycoon, and was on parole. If he showed his face and was arrested, nobody would speak up for him.
But Scott wasn't an idiot. After blowing up the Pim Technology building, he went into hiding with Dr. Pim.
In any case, he was unemployed and didn't even have a fixed place to live. It was normal for him to wander around.
In fact, Luke had tipped off Dr. Pim in the name of the bigshot and told him to hide Scott well.
After the operation that night, Dr. Pim couldn't hold back his bad temper anymore.
After finding a secluded place to rest, he immediately contacted the bigshot. Or rather, it would be more appropriate to say that he was guilty.
Luke gave him face and sent out the bigshot's identity to meet him in person.
Faced with the furious old man's question about whether the Pacific Police Division had anything to do with him, the bigshot nodded calmly. "They're my important partners."
Dr. Pim choked.
He had sold a lot of Pim particles to the bigshot in the past few years, which was how he had upgraded from a friendly partner to an important partner, and even obtained a bottle of Water of Life.
If not for that, he wouldn't be so energetic right now.
Thus, he knew that an organization that could obtain the authority of an important partner from the bigshot definitely wasn't simple.
Looking at the smiling bigshot sitting across from him, Dr. Pim finally tried to hold back his anger. "I want all the files on Pim particles back."
The bigshot nodded. "Okay."
Dr. Pim was stunned.
In the end, he heard the second half of the sentence: "What's the reward for this commission?"
Dr. Pim: … I want the damn police department to "return" the files to me!
But seeing the smiling bigshot across from him, he couldn't bring himself to say that.
Both parties had been doing fair deals for the past few years.
The bigshot had suggested twice that he increase the purchase of Pim particles, but Dr. Pim had flatly refused.
The bigshot didn't fall out or threaten him. After that, the prices remained the same, and the goods were delivered on time.
In short, it was a purely business relationship.
Now that Dr. Pim wanted the technical files back, he naturally couldn't just rely on his mouth.
Business was business.
If you wanted something, you had to give something in return.
After a long silence, Dr. Pim said, "I can have them name a price."
Luke raised an eyebrow. Hey, who said this old man couldn't transfer? Look, when someone was under pressure, they suddenly learned how to behave.
He chuckled inwardly, but his expression didn't change. "Okay. I'll contact them now. "
Dr. Pim exhaled. Everything was difficult at the beginning. If he succeeded at the first step, he would at least have a chance to get the files back.
Luke, however, said unhurriedly, "However, I have to remind you. Hank, you still have 28 credit points in your account. That shouldn't be enough to buy the files back. "
Dr. Pim's old face instantly froze.
