A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

In any case, this year marks his first year of being properly born into this world and successfully settling down.

Last year cannot be counted.

Last Christmas, he was staying at Tang's repair shop.

Rachel and Lorna exchanged a glance and smiled.

Lorna looked at Luke as he approached and said happily, "We were just talking about this. Rachel is planning to take me shopping at the supermarket tomorrow, Friday night."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"tomorrow?"

"Correct."

"Not tomorrow."

"what!"

Lorna was slightly taken aback: "Are you busy tomorrow night?"

Luke nodded, then looked at Rachel, who was turning her gaze to him, and said, "Pierce and Lindsay have invited us to dinner tomorrow night."

Rachel frowned, just as she was wondering who Pierce and Lindsay were, the answer came to her, and her pupils widened slightly: "Director Alexander Pierce?"

Lu Ke hummed in agreement.

Half past ten in the evening.

Having just finished her activities and gone to the bathroom, Rachel emerged wearing a silk nightgown and a face mask. She walked to the small balcony of the master bedroom, looked at Luke sitting on the recliner, and continued their previous conversation: "What's the theme for dinner tomorrow night?"

She needs to know the theme to decide what to wear tomorrow night.

After all, different clothes correspond to different themes.

Luke, who was leaning back in his deck chair sipping his after-dinner drink, glanced up and walked over to him. Rachel, whose already pale face was now covered with an even whiter face mask, smiled and said, "He said Lindsay wanted to express her gratitude for me rescuing her from Sacramento."

Rachel laughed and said, "You don't believe me?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "I believe you, of course I believe you. But no one says that dinner can only have one theme. He can have other themes, can't he?"

Rachel sat on a small stool next to the recliner, grabbed a mirror, and continued to fix the face mask on her face, saying casually, "Is she trying to win you over?"

Luke shrugged.

"Maybe."

"Not maybe, but definitely."

After tidying up her face mask, Rachel looked up at Luke and asked, "Do you remember Claire, my senior from college?"

Luke nodded: "That whip's wife?"

Rachel nodded. "When Claire called yesterday and asked me to help promote her 'Clean Water Project,' I also took the opportunity to learn about Alexander Pierce from her."

Luke looked at Rachel with some curiosity.

"How to say."

"Before becoming a federal councilor, he was reportedly the director of a law enforcement agency."

"That's it?"

"But this resume is not in his records."

Rachel adjusted her posture, looked at Luke, and said, "Claire seems to know, but doesn't seem willing to say more."

Luke laughed and said, "Of course, no one would want the public to know about a secret law enforcement agency that has no law enforcement authority in the federal government."

Yes.

S.H.I.E.L.D. does not have federal law enforcement authority.

At the very least, he does not have the same legitimate law enforcement authority as local police departments, the FBI, or at the very least, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which has been validated by Congress.

He didn't even have law enforcement authority in the homes of the five superpowers, even though S.H.I.E.L.D. was nominally created by the five superpowers.

But apart from the five major powers, S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to have gotten away with going wherever it wants.

Rachel was slightly taken aback by Luke's words and looked at him.

"you know?"

"of course."

"Can you say it?"

“You are my fiancée, of course I will say so.”

Luke looked at Rachel, whose eyes were once again sparkling with gossip, and smiled. Then he told Rachel everything he knew about the composition and structure of S.H.I.E.L.D.

These things may be considered secrets by some people.

But on Luke's side...

There are no restrictions.

Luke was indifferent to whether or not to talk about the existence of Hydra.

The reason he isn't saying anything right now is simply because he wants to transition himself as smoothly as possible to the day when the gene lock is restarted.

Once the gene lock is successfully restarted.

Ah.

Again.

Luke, who doesn't eat beef, is about to go live!

After hearing about the origins, composition, and structure of S.H.I.E.L.D., Rachel couldn't help but gape in surprise, her eyes gleaming: "S.H.I.E.L.D., a secret law enforcement agency, tsk tsk, if this were exposed..."

Lu Ke immediately answered, "You will be blacklisted."

Rachel shut up and rolled her eyes at Luke: "I know, I was just saying."

The Five Streams...

Pooh.

The five superpowers created a secret law enforcement agency that rules the world. She would only expose such an organization if she didn't want to live on this planet anymore.

correct.

Rachel snapped out of her reverie, as if she had just thought of something, and looked at Luke: "This S.H.I.E.L.D. is managed by five members of the Security Council, and Alexander Pierce is a member of the Federation Council. Good heavens, honey, Director Pierce wouldn't be trying to invite you to join S.H.I.E.L.D., would he?"

No, he just wanted to invite me to join S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lu Ke thought to himself.

but……

Rachel's idea seems to be more than just a wild idea.

Luke thought for a moment, then looked at Rachel, intending to hear how she came to this conclusion.

"How to say?"

"You just said that the actual day-to-day operations of S.H.I.E.L.D. are overseen by the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the five members of the Security Council are more like members of the board of directors, right?"

"Correct."

"So, Director Pierce, going from Nick Fury to a Federal Council member, doesn't that seem like a demotion in disguise?"

"……Maybe."

"You also said that the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a black man with wisdom that would make God laugh."

Rachel said this, then looked at Luke: "So, is it possible that Director Pierce and this new director don't get along, so he wants to recruit you to work for this mysterious law enforcement agency?"

Lu Ke: "..."

Chapter 175 I'm Very Traditional (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe!)

Luke had originally planned for tomorrow's dinner to have another theme called Hydra.

Invite him to S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Lu Ke had never even considered this matter.

but……

After hearing Rachel's words, he suddenly felt that it might indeed be a possibility.

Although Luke has always joked that S.H.I.E.L.D. is pronounced S.H.I.E.L.D. but actually written as Snake Shield, Hydra's share in S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually less than 50%, and it does not have the power to make decisions with a single vote.

One reason is Nick Fury.

Even after leaving office, Alexander Pierce was still secretly working on his spaceships behind Nick Fury's back at the Tri-Flying Headquarters.

Nick Fury, too, has been setting up his secret bases all over the world since taking office.

These secret bases, in the future, laid a solid foundation for S.H.I.E.L.D. to withstand the offensive of S.H.I.E.L.D. and then launch a counterattack against S.H.I.E.L.D.

On the other hand, S.H.I.E.L.D. has too few high-end combat personnel to offer.

The reason why all villainous organizations perish is always the same.

The villains are always stronger in low-level combat than the heroes, but they are lacking in high-level combat.

This……

It's not something that can be compensated for by simply increasing quantity.

so!

Lu Ke stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"An invitation for me to join S.H.I.E.L.D."

"It's possible."

Rachel said this, then looked at Luke: "The question is, if he invites you like this, would you be willing to go?"

Luke shrugged: "I don't care."

He came into this world wanting a comfortable retirement, not to be a beast of burden.
