A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

This is a misunderstanding that needs no explanation.

Luke smiled slightly and handed the detector with the red light on back to Viper Lady, who regarded him as one of her own kind.

Mrs. Viper took it and put it back into her backpack: "Friendly reminder, Red Devil is a mutant under the Whitehouse Council, but the Whitehouse Council has more than one mutant."

Lu Ke nodded.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Goodbye."

"I send you."

"it is good."

Mrs. Viper did not refuse. Instead, she took the elevator with Luke and went down to the first floor of the Federal Building. They walked out of the building together, and then, with Luke's help, she got into a black van parked on the side of the road.

"Airport."

After getting into the car, Madam Viper said goodbye to the driver, then smiled and said goodbye to Luke, who was standing outside the car: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Director Dan."

Luke, hands in his pockets, said, "I really hope to see you often in the future."

Lady Viper smiled alluringly.

soon.

The van's doors closed automatically, and then the engine roared to life. Soon after, the black van carrying Mrs. Viper disappeared from Luke's sight.

Luke turned around, took out his phone, and walked towards the federal building.

"Boss."

"Debbie".

"The signal is fine."

"it is good."

Lu Ke said, turning his head to look in the direction the black minivan had disappeared: "See if she's really going to the airport. If so, check the flight information."

Debbie, who was in her office and using real-time surveillance footage of the black minivan along Los Santos, nodded seriously: "No problem, boss."

after an hour.

At San Lodos International Airport, a private plane took off smoothly after taxiing and flew into the sky.

Luke also received the flight information for the private jet that Debbie had just sent him.

Ottawa Airport, Canada.

Is the old dog's lair in Canada?

Luke raised an eyebrow. If Whitehorse's hideout was within the Federation, he could authorize Debbie to use federal reconnaissance satellites for reconnaissance.

But Canada?

It could be used, but it's not a very safe approach and it's easy to be discovered.

Forget it.

Anyway, there's only one month left. After that, once the location coordinates are released, it will be Old Dog's death day.

wrong.

We must kill the Red Devil first, otherwise this old dog could make the Red Devil run away with him at any time.

but……

How do we kill the Red Devil?

Lu Ke narrowed his eyes, his thoughts racing.

A week later.

Cipher, who had flown to Australia aboard his own aerial fortress, sent a video call.

Luke, who was in his study at home listening to Rachel's social dinner arrangements, saw the incoming call, raised an eyebrow, grabbed his phone, and went straight to the yard to answer it.

Cipher got straight to the point.

"Mrs. Viper has approved Whitehouse's assets and funds."

"So fast?"

Luke lay back in his recliner, listening to the news with some surprise: "I originally thought that old dog was planning to drag it out until the end of the month."

Cipher chuckled, "Do you know who his trustee is?"

Luke asked, "Who?"

"Anna, does this look familiar?"

"Anna?"

"Correct."

Cipher propped his long, slender legs, clad in white boots, on his desk and smiled at Luke: "It's Anna, the one you captured and played with for several days. Surprising, isn't it?"

Luke ignored the first half of Cipher's sentence.

His relationship with Anna was completely innocent.

The sun and moon bear witness.

As for whether it was unexpected or not?

Lu Ke shook his head: "I wouldn't say it was surprising, but rather expected."

This time it was Cipher's turn to be surprised: "You could have guessed that?"

Lu Ke laughed and said, "Is it that difficult? Managing assets is not something that can be done by just finding anyone. This person must be someone that Old Dog is close to, and at the same time, someone that Old Dog trusts the most. Anna, who has been manipulated by Old Dog for so many years, is the most suitable candidate."

Again.

Whitehouse's approach to raising his children is distorted. While some parents like to praise education and others like to belittle it, Old Dog's approach is abnormal.

But anyway.

The fact that Old Dog was willing to risk the lives of twenty-five Hydra agents and expose the existence of Red Devil to rescue Anna shows that, despite his twisted upbringing of Anna, he undeniably still considered her his daughter.

Even if it's just temporary trusteeship, Lao Gou certainly wouldn't just find any outsider to manage his assets.

At the very least, Red Devil, who seemed closer to Anna than anyone else, was not among Old Dog's top choices.

and so!

Is it hard to guess that Anna will become an option for Old Dog to manage his assets?

"Once you understand people's hearts, you'll know exactly what the other person wants to do."

"hiss!"

Upon hearing Luke's words, Cipher gasped: "Don't tell me you already knew what would happen today when you deliberately let Anna go?"

Luke smiled slightly: "I'm not that amazing. After all, who knows if Whitehouse has any other children?"

"Besides Anna," Seifer said, "he also has a son, Anna's brother, but that son is a hopeless case."

Luke shrugged: "That's it. I just think that Anna being sent out by Old Dog to carry out missions means, in a sense, that Anna has already gained Old Dog's approval. So, it's not surprising that Anna can manage Old Dog's assets."

Cipher exclaimed, "Amazing!"

The conversation turned.

Cypher then said in a deep voice, "The verification of funds between the two parties has been completed. You need to be careful now. Knowing Whitehorse as I do, he won't wait a month before launching an attack on you. After all, you are in the open, and he is in the dark."

Lu Ke hummed in agreement.

“I know, but I’m not worried about what the old dog might do during this time.”

"Old Dog's base of operations is not in the Federation."

"The Federation is Alexander's stronghold. Although my relationship with Alexander has broken down, he still supports me just because I want to challenge Old Dog. This shows that Alexander is still on my side after all."

"Strucker and Malik are the same."

“They also support me now, and even the old dog can't rally them to use their resources to attack me.”

"Dr. Zola is the same."

"The only one left is Baron Zemo, who is supposedly allied with the old dog, but in reality, he is practically loyal to him."

"But he has nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing this, Cipher frowned slightly: "Baron Zemo has pledged allegiance to Whitehorse, so why aren't you worried?"

Luke smiled and said, "Seifer, you need to understand the essence of loyalty. The fundamental problem with loyalty is that the person who is loyal to you is destined to betray you sooner or later."

That's why he never asked anyone to pledge allegiance.

In the end, loyalty will only lead to betrayal.

Luke chose to cooperate.

Only through cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation.

Just like his collaboration with Alexander, and just like the collaboration he had mentioned to Anna at the time.

He doesn't need anyone's loyalty.

Luke only needs to cooperate, because if someone betrays you after you've accepted their loyalty, you'll still feel some heartache.

But if it's a partner who betrays you, then you should kill them without even a hint of emotional reaction.

Discussing the matter at hand is the most appropriate approach.

Luke pondered for a moment: "As for Old Dog himself, he has many Hydra agents, but he only had so many agents he transported to Los Santos before, and I have already taken them all out. As for the people Old Dog trained in the Federation, there may be some, but the one who posed the greatest threat to me was already taken out by me beforehand."

Whitehouse could have waited a bit longer.

Unfortunately, he was too impatient.

Anron Miller, as the FBI's California director, is theoretically one of Whitehoe's most threatening pawns to Luke.

If Whitehorn waits until this point to use that pawn and cause him some trouble, at the very least, he won't be able to get the Los Santos FBI to do anything for him.
