A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

"Didn't you say you weren't familiar with this Stryker?"

“We’re not close, but I know this guy’s personality. If he knew that if he cooperated with me, there would be a chance to capture a real mutant who can teleport, he would definitely agree.”

"That's good."

Rachel nodded upon hearing this: "Second question, are you sure that if you play along, Whitehead will fall for it?"

This time, Lu Ke's answer was not as certain as before: "I'm not really sure if the old dog will fall for the trap."

He lowered his eyes and toyed with the wine glass in his hand, his gaze flickering slightly.

For Daniel Whitehorse, being caught by the Sentinel Service would be tantamount to a death sentence.

The Sentinel Special Operations Department's mutant prison maintains a record of no mutant escape to this day.

If Luke were to enter the mutant prison, Whitehall could theoretically avoid even showing his face.

Rachel nodded thoughtfully, looked at Luke, and expressed her opinion: "If that's the case, then I don't agree with your plan. It's fine if the Red Devils appear as you plan, but if they don't, the mess we'll make will be huge. Have you thought about that?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "Of course I've thought about it, that's why I wanted to ask for your opinion."

If he were to play along, in order to convince that old dog...

no doubt.

He definitely needs to seriously play a mutant who has been captured by the Sentinel Special Operations Department.

The dignified FBI director of Los Angeles is actually a mutant?

Tsk tsk.

This single line of text was enough to dominate the front page of the West Coast for at least two months.

As for Rachel, her career will certainly be affected.

So it's just like Rachel said.

If you turn the tables and gain something from it, then everything is fine. After all, you reap what you sow.

However, if the Red Devil hadn't appeared, then such an investment wouldn't just be considered a complete loss, but it could also be described as a huge financial blow.

"So my answer to you is that I disagree."

Rachel looked up at Luke and said seriously, "The one who should be anxious now is not you, but Whitehead. As long as you keep things calm these days and wait for his coordinates to be announced, I believe he will have no choice but to flee all over the world. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to use the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau."

Lu Ke smiled wryly and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm worried that our readers will be anxious. After all, so many chapters have passed, and Whitehead is still not dead."

Rachel blinked.

"What reader? What the hell?"

"just kidding."

Luke chuckled and changed the subject, looking at Rachel and saying, "But if the Red Devil isn't eliminated, I still can't guarantee I can kill Whitehorse."

He could guarantee that if he ever saw Whitehead, Whitehead would never leave his sight alive.

But Whitehouse doesn't even appear in his sight.

How did he kill him?

To smash the Earth to pieces with a single slap?

Let alone the fact that he doesn't have that power yet, even if he did, if he dared to do it, the Ancient One would probably have already appeared in front of him and told him he couldn't do it before he even did it.

Rachel frowned, thought for a moment, and asked Luke, "Are you confident that you can subdue the Red Devil when he appears?"

Luke shrugged: "Of course, once he shows up, he won't be able to escape."

Rachel nodded, then looked at Luke.

"Use me as bait."

"Ok?"

Luke, who was holding a wine glass and drinking, paused slightly and looked at Rachel.

"what?"

"Use me as bait."

"Don't even think about it."

Lu Ke's face darkened immediately: "Do you want to listen to what nonsense you're spouting? If you're going to be used as bait, then I'll be the one to use you."

Rachel smiled and said, "But if you act as bait, Red Devil won't dare to show up. I'm just right. I'm your fiancée. Once you get through this crisis, Whitehouse will only be more furious and will try every means to kill you."

We've exhausted all means.

So……

The villain's last tried-and-true tactic will then be brought to the forefront.

That is, kidnapping someone the protagonist cares about to threaten the protagonist.

Whitehead has gone so far as to report Luke to the Sentinel Service that he is a mutant, which means that this is Whitehead's last resort.

If even this last conventional method fails, then with time running out and a long escape about to begin, Whitehead will surely resort to unconventional methods to deal with Luke.

Lu Ke decisively refused: "No, your plan is not as good as my plan."

Rachel smiled and held Luke's right hand: "Your plan may not be 100% perfect, but mine is. I'm your fiancée, so I'm willing to take the risk for you."

Lu Ke: "..."

Chapter 271 Shocking! Luke is a mutant!! (Fifth update, please subscribe to all chapters!!)

Yes.

She was willing to take the risk.

Not just because she was Luke's fiancée.

Furthermore, it was because she was Luke's fiancée.

but……

Rachel wants an adventure.

Luke, however, did not want to, let alone risk Rachel's life.

Unless he has lost his mind.

So when Rachel suggested they make a plan together, Luke downed his drink in one gulp, then carried Rachel back into the house.

There's a saying that goes something like this.

War, keep women away!

Whitehouse was so despicable as to have his daughter kill someone because that old dog was a psychopath himself.

But Luke is not.

Luke hasn't fallen to the point where he needs to use his woman as bait.

Isn't it just a Red Devil?

Ah.

Watch me do it!

the next day!

A gasp came from the master bedroom's bathroom.

"Thick and greasy Xie Te!"

“Lu Ke”.

Rachel, wearing a white nightgown and clutching her phone, hurriedly walked out of the bathroom and saw Luke appear directly in front of her from the dressing room, handing her his phone: "Look here."

Luke, who thought it was the Red Devils coming to his door, breathed a sigh of relief, took the phone Rachel handed him, and looked at the screen.

Eye-catching!

Shocking Inside Story: Los Angeles FBI Director, West Coast Superhero Luke Dane's True Identity is a Mutant—West Coast Daily News

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

Rachel, who was standing nearby, looked up at Luke and reminded him, "It's not just the West Coast Daily, but also, swipe here."

Lu Ke swiped the screen, and instantly, screenshots of newspaper headlines appeared in his field of vision.

Shocking discovery: FBI Los Angeles Chief Luke Dane is a mutant – Beverly Hills Journal

"FBI Director of Los Angeles Revealed: A Second Magneto? — Discovering Mutants"

"..."

"FBI Director Luke Dane's Identity Revealed: He's a Mutant—Los Angeles Daily News"

"Warning! They haven't disappeared. They've always been here. In fact, mutants are among us—The Daily Bugle."

"..."

horn?

Lu Ke scrolled through the screenshots and saw a newspaper that he remembered as relatively well-known: "Isn't this newspaper from New York City? Why is someone from New York City coming here to join the fun?"

Rachel, who had just turned around, picked up the tablet that was charging on the bedside table, opened it, fiddled with it for a while, found a video, opened it, and handed it to Luke: "This video is all over the internet."

Lu Ke looked at the video playing on the tablet.

Just as he had almost guessed.

The video was filmed from the perspective of a car's surveillance camera.

on the screen.

Luke had one hand in his pocket and the other holding a ball of aurora borealis. In front of him were twenty-five Hydra agents with their feet off the ground.

The surveillance equipment used to film this video is of excellent quality.

Don't say anything else.

At the very least, it perfectly showcased Lu Ke's handsomeness.
