A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

The detailed case file of the Roland Fury case, plus a live connection to the FBI, the Los Angeles field office, and the assistant director of operations' permission.

And in this.

When Earl connects with Rachel later, the leaked call logs will be what he wants Cipher to see and hear.

Dr. Zola's initial plan was that after Luke killed Roland Fury, Daniel Whitehorse would feel that he had lost all authority, and at the same time, launch a counterattack against him and... Alexander Pierce.

But for now.

Alexander Pierce didn't seem to take the bait. He immediately flew to Los Angeles and had a big argument with Luke, clearly indicating that he had given up on Luke.

This meant that the plan differed somewhat from what Dr. Zola had envisioned.

Because what he needed was for Daniel Whitehorse and Alexander Pierce to fight each other, so that he could reap the benefits later.

Dr. Zola's initial goal was not to ally with Luke, but merely to use him as a fulcrum to instigate infighting between the two Hydra leaders.

But after Alexander Pierce was unwilling to defend Luke to the death, seemingly turning him into a pawn, then from a practical point of view, Luke no longer had any value in forming an alliance.

But this was also part of Luke's plan.

He had a good relationship with Alexander Pierce, as everyone who knew him knew, including Dr. Zola.

In this arena of power struggles among four people, only one person will be eliminated.

That's Daniel Whitehead.

no doubt.

Luke didn't care about Daniel Whitehorse; instead, from the beginning, his goal was to figure out how to smoothly inherit Daniel Whitehorse's estate and his position within Hydra after his death.

He needs someone to support him.

One person isn't enough; at the very least, he needs two Hydra leaders to support him, or more.

He now has an Alexander Pierce.

But Alexander was a double agent.

Because if Alexander were to openly support him, Dr. Zola would likely stop supporting him by then.

After all, Dr. Zola's idea was to use this opportunity to weaken Daniel Whitehorn and Alexander Pierce, even if it meant not killing them.

He certainly didn't want to see Daniel Whitehead leave and be replaced by a partner who had a good relationship with Alexander Pierce.

This is why Luke and Alexander had such a big argument.

Put it plainly.

It was all an act for Dr. Zola's benefit. Whether he believed it or not, on the surface, he and Alexander Pierce had a complete falling out because of the Roland Fury case.

This seems to contradict Dr. Zola's plan once again.

but……

Who says Alexander Pierce has to willingly and proactively protect him?

Do we need Alexander Pierce's consent to drag him into this mess?

No need.

Since ancient times, pulling someone into the water has never required their consent; one can simply reach out and drag them into the water.

As for how to do it.

See how it works.

As Rachel and Earl's video call ended on the television screen, Luke lowered his eyes and turned his phone back on, which he had just turned off.

The phone had just been turned on.

Five seconds later.

The phone rings.

Luke got up from the sofa, glanced at Lorna who had just watched TV and whose expression had become somewhat questioning about life, and smiled knowingly.

Lorna had a very simple expression.

After all, what was said on TV and what she saw with her own eyes, although it was the same thing, seemed like two different things.

As Luke got up from the sofa, he stroked Lorna's head, then flashed into the backyard and answered the phone.

There was no human voice on the other end of the phone, only that familiar breathing sound.

Luke smiled and sat down on the recliner behind him.

“I still prefer the sound of your breathing, with a hint of panting.”

"Ah!"

On the other end of the phone, Cipher smirked as he looked at the news anchor Rachel on his screen: "Your fiancée doesn't look that great either. What makes her prettier than me?"

Lu Ke spoke in a somber tone.

"Marry a virtuous wife."

"What's the meaning."

"Didn't you say you've been cramming on Eastern culture lately? Look it up yourself when you have time."

Lu Ke smiled and then said directly, "So, you've seen the news and know what I'm planning, right?"

Cipher frowned, recalling the meaning of Luke's words, and upon hearing them, he let out another cold laugh.

"You want me to help you shut down the connection between Roland Fury and the Mandarin."

"It's not you, it's Zola."

Luke said, "Your hacking skills are impressive, but hackers can only forge, not create something from nothing. But Dr. Zola can do that."

Zola, an electronic life form, is not a hacker, but he is the most powerful hacker in the world, bar none.

Because Zola can do something that other hackers can never do.

Create something out of nothing.

Cipher frowned: "You want to use this to forcefully drag Alexander Pierce into this mess? To make Daniel Whitehead think that Alexander Pierce's break with you is just a pretense?"

Lu Ke chuckled.

"I guess so, but I want this not to make Daniel Whitehead feel that way."

"Ok?"

“I need this to deal with Roland Fury’s brother.”

"Nick Fury?"

"Yes."

Luke looked up at the night sky: "If that Nick Fury knew his brother was dead, he would come after me too."

However, Nick Fury can only cause trouble for him at the official level.

no way.

Who made Nick Fury portray himself as a positive character, the mastermind behind the superhero team, and an absolutely outstanding representative of righteousness and goodness?

and so……

For official gameplay, follow the official game rules.

Roland Fury was guilty of colluding with the Mandarin, attempting to kill the FBI's Assistant Director of Operations, then trying to frame Luke's sister as a mutant, and finally attempting to arrest Luke, who shot and killed him on the spot.

After listening to Luke's plan, Cipher said, "It's a good plan, but what if we don't intend to cooperate?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "I won't beg you to cooperate with me. However, cooperation requires effort from both sides. I have already made my efforts, and you have seen my sincerity. If you intend to cooperate with me, now is the time to show me your sincerity."

Cipher: "..."

Chapter 224 The younger brother died, the older brother arrived (Third update, please subscribe!!)

Luke didn't care whether Dr. Zola cooperated with him or not.

After all, cooperation is a two-way choice.

Before a formal cooperation agreement is reached, both parties have the right to back out.

This is normal.

Any normal person would conduct a risk assessment before cooperating with a business.

Didn't Luke also spend some time conducting a risk assessment after Dr. Zola proposed the collaboration?

Is two days enough?

"what?"

"Two days should be enough time for you to consider it."

Lu Ke smiled.

"If you are willing to cooperate, give me an answer within two days. Otherwise, I will consider it as you giving up this cooperation. If you want to get back the deposit you received earlier, you can come to me at any time to get it back."

"When did I ever place an order for you..."

Cipher was taken aback at first, then realized what Luke meant by "deposit," and her face immediately darkened. Then, she grabbed the phone and spoke in a charming manner.

“Lu Ke”.

"Ah."

"If it gets bitten off, I won't pay for it."

"Don't worry, you don't need to pay for it."

Ah.

Bite it off?

Can you bite it off?

That's amazing. When the time comes, I'll directly achieve partial goldification.

Lu Ke thought to himself.
