A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

After all, Zola knew that Luke was not a mutant. Even if he made the video the number one trending topic on the global charts, he could only annoy Luke, but he couldn't actually harm him.

but!

Lu Ke may understand, but whether he can accept it is another matter entirely.

The most important thing.

Zola dares to create a video today, but he might dare to betray him tomorrow.

If it weren't for the fact that Zola could still be of help to him, he wouldn't have threatened Zola to unplug his internet cable; instead, he would have already launched a full-scale attack and destroyed Zola's underground hideout.

Luke sneered, looked at the call that Cipher had called back, hung up immediately, and put the phone in his pocket.

"Shet!"

Inside the aerial fortress, Cipher listened to the busy tone on the phone. He dialed again, only to hear, "Sorry, the user you dialed does not wish to answer your call." A strong sense of déjà vu washed over him once more, and he couldn't help but lash out, "You son of a bitch!"

When they really want it, they'll desperately try to get it; when they don't, they won't even give it a second glance.

Fake!

Cypher couldn't help but swear again, throwing his phone onto the bed beside him. He then took a deep breath, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom.

After half an hour.

Having changed back into his everyday clothes and tied up his long hair, Cipher emerged from the bathroom, turned on the computer on his desk, clicked into a program with no visual interface, and then selected to connect.

The signal was sent out instantly.

next second.

Countless signals converged on the laptop, eventually forming an electronic image of Dr. Anim Zola that appeared blurry but could still be identified upon close inspection.

Cipher let out a breath.

"teacher."

“Sefer”.

Dr. Zola's electronic voice came from the laptop: "What happened?"

Cipher went straight to the point about the video of "Lux Magneto II: Dain's Battle" that was going viral on the federal internet today.

To Cipher's surprise.

Dr. Zola admitted it very readily.

"Yes, I did it."

The electronic Zola on the computer screen nodded, and a voice with an electronic tone came out: "He called and asked about you."

Seifer frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"why?"

"He's too dangerous."

"what?"

Cipher was slightly taken aback.

"Danger?"

"Yes, he's a bit beyond my control. I can't predict whether his taking over Whitehall will be good or bad for us. I didn't expect that he could get Malik and Strucker, his two arch-enemies, to support him."

Dr. Zola's electronic voice was deep and somewhat chaotic: "By the way, he still hasn't told you how he managed to get Malik and Strucker to support him?"

Cipher's heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head, saying, "No, teacher!"

Dr. Zola's electronic voice continued: "Therefore, I need to use this incident to give him a warning. If I don't, I'm afraid that once our plan succeeds, he will not hesitate to discard us like a used tool!"

At this point, Dr. Zola's tone changed: "After working with Luke, I took the time to seriously study the history of the Eastern Kingdom. He gave me the feeling that he was very similar to those emperors in the history of the Eastern Kingdom who liked to discard their usefulness after they had accomplished their goals."

and so!

To avoid such a situation, Dr. Zola's program provides an optimal choice.

Give Lu Ke a heads-up beforehand.

Dr. Zola wanted to tell Luke in this way that if he could make this video spread on the internet without Luke's knowledge, he could also destroy Luke in the same way in the future.

Cipher opened his mouth.

Dr. Zola, seeing Cipher's hesitant gesture through the camera, asked, "What, am I wrong?"

Cipher really wanted to shake his head.

but……

She felt that her teacher's summary of Lu Ke was spot on.

Heartless and ungrateful!

To discard a donkey after it has served its purpose.

That scoundrel is the best at it.

Cipher's expression twitched a few times, and he shook his head, saying, "No, teacher, you're right, but Luke is very angry about it."

Zola scoffed: "Angry? What did he say?"

"He said that if we wanted to continue working together, we needed to find the address of the original video by 5 p.m.," Seifer said.

Zola let out an electronic laugh: "Look, even after we've given him a dressing down, he's still thinking of threatening us. That proves he's really..."

Cipher interrupted directly, "Luk said that if we don't give it to you, he'll go straight to the New Jersey base and unplug your internet cable."

"..." The electronic Zola image on the computer screen remained motionless.

Buzz!

In a space beneath an abandoned military base in New Jersey, computer hardware filling almost the entire underground space emitted the sound of overclocking.

Dr. Zola was using all his computing power, frantically calculating how Luke knew his hideout was here.

but……

The information about Lu Ke on the internet is incomplete, and much of it is even fabricated.

and so!

"No answer!"

Dr. Zola's electronic head started moving again, and his electronic voice came out again: "How did he know about this?"

Cipher shook his head: "I don't know, teacher."

The data stream maintaining Dr. Zola's image flickered, indicating that Dr. Zola was still in a state of shock from the news.

after awhile.

Dr. Zola said, "Tell him that I will meet with him in the virtual conference room in half an hour."

Cipher replied, "Yes, teacher."

The words fell.

call out!

Dr. Zola's electronic image disappeared from the computer screen instantly.

Cipher picked up the phone that was lying to the side, turned it on, opened an app without a profile picture, and then called Luke.

This time, Lu Ke did not refuse.

Because Luke has already returned to his office.

He was at home just now, and he was afraid that if Cipher called again, he would go crazy and start rambling on and on.

That would be terrible.

He already faces external threats; it wouldn't be a wise choice to create internal troubles as well.

A wise person would never allow themselves to be attacked from both sides.

Luke, who had just sat down in his office, saw Cipher calling again and immediately answered the call.

"Hey!"

"You guessed right, it was indeed the teacher who did it. He said that his program detected that after this plan succeeds, there is a high probability that you will discard him after he has served his purpose, just like those founding emperors in your country who purged their meritorious officials one by one after the founding of the country. So, he wanted to use this incident to give you a warning."

"what."

Luke couldn't help but laugh, looking at the image of Cipher on his phone screen, his long legs crossed, leaning against the bed, and stroking his chin.

Did he say I resemble that emperor?

"This is not."

"Ok."

Lu Ke shook his head.

After thinking for a moment, Cipher finally said, "Actually, I might also bear some responsibility for what the teacher did."

Luke raised an eyebrow, looking at Cipher in the video.

"yours?"

"Yes!"

Cipher nodded: "I didn't tell the teacher why you told me how you got Strucker and Malik to support you. The teacher might suspect that you made some kind of agreement with Strucker and Malik in private."

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Ke nodded thoughtfully.

but……

Lu Ke was somewhat curious.

Why don't you say so?

"You didn't let me tell him."

"..."

Ok.
