A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

indeed.

After Roland alerted him and he realized they were being followed, he confronted the two federal agents when a phone call came in from someone named Jack, who told them they had followed the wrong people and to come back immediately.

Seeing Jason Turner nod, Luke's previously hurried tone softened slightly. He clapped his hands and changed the subject: "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Well, since we're here, come on, come on, sit down and have a cup of coffee."

Jason Turner was about to speak.

Roland Fury, who had been silent since entering, spoke up: "No, since it's a misunderstanding, it'll be fine once it's cleared up. We have other things to do. Director Dan, you investigate your terrorists, and we'll investigate our mutants."

talking.

Roland Frey turned and left first, showing Luke no respect whatsoever.

Seeing this, Jason Turner gave Luke an apologetic smile, then turned around and followed Roland Fury, who had already walked out.

soon.

The two figures disappeared after entering the elevator, along with the strong scent of cologne that Roland Frey brought with him the moment he entered.

Pan Ning walked over to his air purifier, turned it on to the highest setting, and then looked at Lu Ke: "This guy, is he the Ranger from the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau?"

Luke shrugged: "Probably."

Pan Ning frowned: "What do we do now? They already know we're following them. They want to do what you planned, wait for them to find the clues, and then find the thief who took the wrong thing before they do. I'm afraid that won't work."

Luke nodded: "Jason Turner is easy to fool, but this Roland Fury is a bit harder to fool."

His personality seemed to be the same as that of another guy named Fury in his memory.

wrong.

Luke strongly suspected that this Roland Fury, like another guy with the surname Fury, also suffered from some kind of persecution complex.

"Now what?"

"Now we can only rely on our own abilities."

The plan to eavesdrop on Jason Turner and snatch the thief before the Sentinel Secret Service is no longer viable.

The rest.

That's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.

As Lu Ke spoke, he looked at Pan Ning and said, "However, it's time we also considered what would happen if this mission wasn't completed."

Pan Ning: "..."

Chapter 144 Beware of Discarding a Used Item After It's Been Used (Third Update, Please Subscribe!!)

Luke never considered himself the protagonist.

It was precisely because he never had the illusion that he was the protagonist that he was able to retire successfully from among so many reincarnators.

Because in the main god space, once you have the illusion that you are the protagonist, then the cycle of reincarnation will definitely teach you to become a ghost.

In the God Realm, Lu Ke had seen countless reincarnators who thought they were the protagonists.

Their fate can be summed up in one word.

dead!

and so……

Lu Ke never considered himself the protagonist. Since he wasn't the protagonist, he couldn't expect everything to go according to his wishes.

Such as this time.

It's time to consider the possibility that they might not be able to get back what Director Louis wanted.

After Lu Ke finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa and looked at Pan Ning: "There are only three possible outcomes to this matter, but no matter which outcome it is, there are risks for us."

There are only three possibilities in the end.

The first scenario is that they caught the thief who took something he shouldn't have in front of the Sentinel Special Service.

The second possibility is that the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau caught the thief.

The third possibility is that the thief exposed those things.

On the surface.

Of these three possibilities, only the first one is the least risky: the item will be found, and Chief Louis will be happy.

The premise is that what the thief has in his hands is not something that would make Chief Louis feel the urge to discard him after he has served his purpose.

Otherwise, this first point is actually the most dangerous.

This is why Lu Ke told Pan Ning that if he found them, he would take Pan Ning to see them together.

He wanted to drag Pan Ning down with him, to make him a scapegoat.

However, if it's the second or third option, there are also risks involved.

such as……

Luke and Pan Ning then had to consider how to deal with the wrath of their superior.

Pan Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I shouldn't have agreed so quickly back then."

Lu Ke leaned back on the sofa and glanced at Pan Ning, who was trying to shift the blame onto him: "Once again, if I don't agree quickly, Louis will find someone who agrees quickly to replace me, no, to replace both of us."

Pan Ning was slightly taken aback, looked at Lu Ke, and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, it's a habit."

Lu Ke waved his hand, not caring.

In federal law enforcement agencies, shifting blame is both an active skill and a passive skill that is automatically activated when a keyword is triggered.

"Actually, it would be fine if those things were eventually retrieved by the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau."

"how to say?"

"It's just a matter of returning the item to its rightful owner."

Pan Ning spread his hands and said to Lu Ke, "If that's the case, at most Louis will call the two of us to Sacramento and give us a good scolding. He definitely won't dismiss us, but we certainly won't be able to keep our current positions."

There was a pause.

Pan Ning sighed, somewhat helplessly, and said, "To be honest, I would quite like it to be this one."

Of the three options, only this one is the safest.

The other two.

There is a risk of being discarded after the usefulness of the donkey has been served.

Another risk is that you might die and take someone down with you.

Lu Ke's lips curled up: "Don't you want to know what's making our boss so nervous?"

Pan Ning chuckled.

"You want to know?"

"of course."

“Louis is not a great philanthropist, even though he is your mentor.”

"is it?"

Lu Ke looked directly at Pan Ning without any hesitation. Their eyes met, and he said kindly, "What a coincidence, I'm not exactly a great philanthropist either."

He wasn't afraid at all that Pan Ning would turn around and relay those words to Louis.

Because in Louis's mind, Luke wasn't a good person to begin with.

The truth behind the explosion in the Mil community was that Lorna's mutant awakening detonated it, but the blame was placed on Washington. However, Louis believed that Luke had set the explosion to silence him.

and!

"A talent scout? Isn't he also your talent scout?"

Lu Ke looked at Pan Ning with a half-smile: "What if, when the time comes, our mentor is ready to discard us after we've served our purpose?"

True.

Luke admitted that without Louis's help, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his current position and status.

but……

All of this comes at a price; it's just that Louis hasn't asked him to pay yet.

Luke didn't mind paying the fee.

Even if Louis really asked him to do some dirty work, he would be happy to do it, as a way of repaying Louis's favor.

But he never said he would sell his life to Louis.

If Louis intended to harm him, Luke would do the same without hesitation. At most, out of consideration for their past relationship, he would let him go more easily.

Having spent so much time with Pan Ning, Luke's intuition told him that Pan Ning wasn't so naive as to sell his life to Louis.

Pan Ning's lips twitched involuntarily as he listened to Lu Ke's straightforward words.

Lu Ke looked at Pan Ning with a half-smile.

The most important reason why he dared to play his cards openly with Pan Ning was that, regardless of whether Pan Ning wanted to or not, the two of them were now deeply intertwined.

Just like he said, if he had assured Director Louis that he would get the items before the Sentinel Special Service, Director Louis would have immediately sent someone to replace him, and also replaced Pan Ning.

In a word.

In the eyes of those in positions of authority, if subordinates cannot solve their problems, what is the point of my efforts to promote them?

If it's no use, then get lost.

This is normal.

Luke didn't care about this.

What he was more concerned about was what if, after he got his hands on the item, he discovered that it contained some extremely important secrets, and Director Louis wanted to silence him... no, to silence him and Pan Ning.

Under Luke's watchful gaze, Pan Ning reached for the glass in front of him and downed the whiskey in one gulp.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

He seemed very thirsty.
