A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Alexander Pierce’s breathing paused noticeably after hearing Luke’s warm and friendly greeting, but he quickly recovered.

Good afternoon, Lu.

Alexander, who was in Washington at 3 p.m., greeted him warmly: "What are your plans for tomorrow night?"

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow: "Wait a moment."

As he spoke, Lu Ke put his phone aside, refilled his glass with bourbon, and then picked it up again: "Sorry, Sasha, I have plans for tomorrow night."

Alexander was slightly taken aback.

obviously.

This was not the answer he wanted to hear.

After all, he was just asking casually, and the normal, standard answer should be, "Are you free?"

Your answer is clearly incorrect.

"Is it important?"

"Very important."

Lu Ke said in a deep voice, "Just the two of us, my fiancée and me."

He roughly guessed the purpose of Alexander's phone call.

but……

He's past puberty now, and although he needs to be more cautious before the gene lock is restarted, he can still be a little more carefree compared to when he bowed down to Director Louis back then.

After all, Luke's current status is entirely due to his self-improvement and constant struggle. Perhaps two percent of the credit goes to Director Louis, but it certainly has nothing to do with Hydra.

and so!

Just because you say I'm free, does that mean I have to be free?

What are you thinking about?

Although he was not opposed to cooperating with Hydra, he did not want to give Hydra the illusion that he was one of them.

As for whether he'll really be going on a date with Rachel tomorrow night for some alone time.

It does not matter.

It could be tomorrow night, or it could not; Rachel didn't really care about that.

Alexander fell silent after hearing Luke's reply.

after awhile.

Alexander didn't press the issue further, lest he ask any more questions. Luke's schedule was already full for next month, so he got straight to the point: "Ever since we came back from Sacramento, Lindsay has been thinking of inviting you to dinner sometime. I'm going to Los Angeles tomorrow, how about we meet the day after tomorrow evening?"

He was anxious.

only……

Why?

Luke thought to himself, and then, without bothering to keep Alexander in suspense any longer, he laughed and said, "Okay, you're arriving tomorrow, so let's do it tomorrow. Sasha, perfect timing, we can organize a four-person date tomorrow, what do you think?"

I think you're asking for trouble!

Alexander really wanted to say something like that.

If any of his subordinates had said those words to him, he would have made sure that subordinate never saw the sun rise the next day.

Unfortunately, it was Lu Ke who said those words.

Alexander actually has some things in common with Director Louis.

such as……

He also cherished talent, especially after reading Luke's file and learning from Lindsay that Luke seemed to have some kind of mutant ability.

Again.

Villainous organizations have difficulty recruiting talent, so they place even greater emphasis on talent.

Alexander smiled broadly.

"Sure, no problem, I'll send you the address."

"it is good."

Luke and Alexander ended the call chatting and laughing.

hang up the phone.

next second.

Lu Ke's smile faded, and he looked thoughtfully at the call log displayed on his phone screen.

His mind was already racing with ideas for the theme of tomorrow night's banquet.

what?

Alexander just said that Lindsay wanted to express her gratitude?

Ah.

Perhaps that's one of the reasons.

But Lu Ke is certain that the theme of tomorrow night's banquet will definitely not be gratitude.

A pledge of allegiance?

Lu Ke's mind raced, and he came up with this possible answer.

but……

His CPH4 is still nowhere to be found.

Certificate of application?

I'll throw a slap in the face.

Forget it.

Never mind, no matter what it is, even if it's a huge deal, we have to wait until he gets the CPH4 issue sorted out first.

Thinking this to himself, Luke put away his phone and looked at Debbie, who had just been sitting in his chair and seemed to be chatting with someone.

"So, any news?"

"It will take two days."

"Two days?"

"Boss, overseas banks."

Debbie, seeing the disappointment on Luke's face, quickly explained, "Information on overseas banks is inherently difficult to trace. My teacher is already quite capable. Even if we brought in the best computer expert in our system, it would probably take him a year to find Director Louis's overseas bank account, let alone obtain any details."

After all, if information about overseas bank accounts were so easy to obtain, then those overseas banks would have no place to exist.

It's important to understand that the clients of those overseas banks are not only the federal elites, but even terrorists from all over the world have opened special accounts in overseas banks.

and so……

Obtaining overseas bank information for this type of person is very difficult if you don't find the right person.

fortunately.

Debbie's teacher, Cipher, was one of those right people.

Luke was naturally aware of this as well.

But knowing this doesn't diminish his disappointment.

Lu Ke walked to his desk, glanced at the flashing red dot above his computer screen, raised an eyebrow, clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying, "Fine, two days it is. But it seems that the famous Cipher is not so strong after all."

Sitting at her computer desk in her aerial fortress, Cipher, with her blond hair tied back and wearing a white suit, looked at the suit-wearing thug on the computer screen and heard the suit-wearing thug's words. Her eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

Debbie was slightly taken aback and looked at Luke with some curiosity.

"Boss, do you know my teacher's reputation?"

"Of course, Cipher?"

Luke glanced at Debbie, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "The world's most mysterious hacker organization, I used to think it was just one person."

Debbie laughed and said, "Boss, Cipher isn't a person's name, it's the name of a hacker organization."

Luke shrugged: "Really? That's a shame. I used to think that someone named Cipher must be a great beauty who is both intelligent and beautiful."

Seifer, sitting at his computer desk, squinted his delicate eyebrows and remained silent.

At night.

Luke returned home.

Rachel got home earlier than him today. When he arrived, Rachel had already changed into her pajamas and was making dinner in the kitchen.

Lorna returned as usual, sitting on the bar stool at the counter, doing her homework and asking Rachel, the only academic genius in the family, for help when she encountered something she didn't understand.

Whether in his previous life or among the main gods, Lu Ke could not be considered a top student.

Moreover, even in the God Space, when he had an almost inexhaustible supply of God Points, he never thought of spending them to buy any knowledge points for the Three-Year College Entrance Examination or the Five-Year Simulation Examination.

Because he follows the path of metaphysics.

science?

I am sorry.

He quit a long time ago.

Lorna, sitting on a high stool, was the first to spot Luke walking in from the garage and greeted him cheerfully, "Luke!"

"You're back?" Rachel also turned to look at Luke as he entered the room.

Lu Ke hummed in agreement, took off his suit jacket, and then, thinking about the Christmas decorations he had seen in front of houses on both sides of the street when he drove back, he said after a moment's thought, "Shouldn't we also prepare some Christmas decorations?"
