A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Clarice took a deep breath, feeling somewhat frightened by the thought of what might happen next, and earnestly and seriously explained the seriousness of the matter to David.

after an hour.

"Lorna!"

“...Clarice.”

After Clarice left, Lorna, who had just taken a shower, changed her clothes, and was getting ready to pack her things to catch the school bus, was invited by another female classmate to play volleyball. She had just stepped out of the rest corridor when she heard a voice behind her and looked at Clarice, who was carrying a bag, with some surprise.

Lorna looked at Clarice, who had walked up to her, and asked curiously, "You're not..."

Clarice interrupted Lorna directly.

His face was serious.

"We're in big trouble, Lorna!"

"..."

On the way back to the community from school.

Clarice stared at Lorna with a serious expression.

Lorna's expression was somewhat dazed.

"So... the reason David is so rich is because his ability is similar to yours—he can directly transfer money to the bank's vault?"

"Yes."

Clarice nodded, then looked at Lorna and said, "But that's not the point. The point is, David took something he shouldn't have this time, and I'm worried that David will implicate us because of it."

This is not a baseless speculation.

She had no doubt about it.

If the Sentinel Special Service finds out about David and he is captured, then it's only a matter of time before they are exposed by David.

but……

“David has agreed to leave San Lodoss to lay low for a while, but the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau’s affairs not only concern David, but also us, so I feel it’s necessary to tell you.”

Clarice spoke in a low voice, glancing at Lorna: "The reason I'm telling you first is because you might know more about the latest developments than we do."

Lorna snapped out of her daze and looked at Clarice.

"My brother Lu Ke?"

"Yes."

Clarice met Lorna's gaze and nodded, saying, "If the Sentinel Service really does come to Los Santos, your brother might not be the first to know, but he'll definitely be among the first to find out."

Lorna submitted her family background file before enrolling in school.

Putting aside Clarice's role as a 12th-grade student assistant, just considering Luke's fame and style, a little inquiry would reveal who Luke is now.

FBI, Los Santos, Assistant Director of Operations.

"correct."

"Luke, do you know you're a mutant?"

Clarice thought of the explosive documents she had obtained from David and couldn't help but look at Lorna.

That bombshell document was a real shocker.

Clarice never intended to get her hands on the bomb; David simply naively believed he could use it to threaten the director of the FBI in California.

David didn't understand what it meant for a child to hold gold in a crowded market.

She understands!

Lorna frowned upon hearing Clarice's words.

"I haven't said it yet."

"And what about his attitude towards mutants?"

"not give a damn about."

"not give a damn about?"

"Correct."

Lorna didn't mention that Luke was also a mutant. Instead, she looked at Clarice and repeated Luke's answer when she asked him what he thought of mutants: "Luke works for the FBI, not the Sentinel Service. So, he has no opinion on mutants. If mutants commit crimes, that's the Sentinel Service's job to handle, not his."

Clarice breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

"..."

Lorna blinked at Clarice, who seemed to care a lot about Luke's attitude, and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Clarice?"

Clarice snapped out of her reverie and looked at Lorna again, her expression more serious and earnest than before.

"Lorna, I want to see Luke."

"what?"

Lorna stared wide-eyed at Clarice.

next second.

Lorna recalled some things that Rachel had complained about to her during a casual chat at home.

such as……

Nowadays, stories of a certain guy bravely rescuing a damsel in distress in a hospital parking lot and even risking his life to save a damsel in distress live on the entire West Coast have become the subject of much admiration among young women, married women, and wealthy women.

“Clarice, my brother has a girlfriend… no, he has a fiancée.”

Lorna looked at Clarice with a strange expression: "Although we are friends, Rachel is really good to me."

She really likes Rachel.

Lorna could sense that Rachel cared about her and looked after her; in fact, she perfectly matched Lorna's ideal image of her sister-in-law.

Clarice was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused by Lorna's words, but quickly realized what she meant and hurriedly explained, "No, how could that be?"

Lorna breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

For God's sake, she had just had a real internal struggle with herself.

but……

If not this, then what is it?

"then you……"

“This time, David took some things from the Atlanta vault that he shouldn’t have.”

"I know, you just said that."

"You don't know what's in there."

"what?"

"I can't say."

Clarice shook her head and gave Lorna an apologetic look: "That thing is troublesome, a big problem. It's best you don't know."

Lorna frowned, her curiosity surging, but looking at Clarice's serious face, she said, "Okay, Luke should be home from get off work by now. You'll come with me?"

Clarice nodded.

She plans to confront Luke.

no way.

The trouble David has gotten himself into this time isn't just his own problem, but that of everyone who knows David and is also a mutant.

Even if David simply walks away and the Sentinel Service doesn't find him, they certainly won't give up until they find the thing David shouldn't have taken.

even……

The FBI will not give up.

The Sentinel and Secret Service are secondary; the most important is the FBI.

The contents of that document involve the darkest and most scandalous secrets of the FBI Director of California. He will not give up until the contents are found.

As long as the FBI doesn't give up, it's only a matter of time before they're exposed, just like I said.

and so!

Clarice decided to take a gamble.

Of course.

She didn't gamble without preparation; if Lu Ke were replaced by Pan Ning, she definitely wouldn't have gambled.

Clarice wasn't sure what kind of person Panning was.

But Luke?

Luke is known as a superhero on the West Coast.

Well known.

Superheroes are all people who are righteous and compassionate, and who are not afraid of power.

Because Luke's fiancée is named Rachel, and Rachel is a morning news anchor for CBS, Rachel has managed Luke's exposure and public image very well.

Even street photos of Luke and Rachel occasionally circulate online.

These photos were all selected and edited by Rachel before being sent out.

The goal, of course, is to sustainably maintain the media buzz surrounding the West Coast superhero, the FBI's Assistant Director of Operations, and his beautiful fiancée, a well-known news anchor in Colombia.

In a word.

Throughout the West Coast, gossip-loving citizens may not know that the current director of the FBI in Los Angeles is named Penning, but they certainly know that their West Coast superhero, Luke, is the FBI's Assistant Director of Operations.

and so.
