He was determined to throw Whitehead's soul into the underworld of Hale, and then make Whitehead spend all eternity there, pushing stones up the mountain.
Be his Sisyphus.
Whitehouse, doesn't he want to live forever?
Luke granted his request!
After three rounds of drinking.
The dishes are served in five layers.
The male waiter who was pouring the drinks, seeing Madam Viper wiping her mouth, said with great tact, "Please enjoy your drink," before turning and walking towards the door.
soon.
The door to the private room was closed again.
Lady Viper then got down to business, looking at Luke: "I met your people while I was on a business trip in Europe recently."
Luke leaned back in his chair and smiled slightly. "Earl?"
Viper picked up the wine glass beside him, took a sip, and nodded, saying, "Yes, and Anna too. But I heard you let Anna go?"
Lu Ke hummed in agreement.
"Yes."
"She is Whitehoe's daughter."
“Maria, your worries are the same as Earl’s.”
Lady Viper crossed her arms, rested her chin on her hands, and smiled as she looked at Luke, asking curiously, "Aren't you worried about letting her go?"
Alexander Pierce's rise to power also involved an impeachment motion.
But unlike Luke, who let Whitehall's trustee go, Alexander Pierce chose to destroy the woman after the handover.
Lu Ke chuckled, not answering the question, but frowning as he looked at Viper: "According to the information I have, Whitehead did some underhanded things before he died. At least 1.02 billion of his funds disappeared out of thin air, along with more than 300 people."
Viper nodded: "That sounds a lot like Whitehorn's style."
obviously.
Whitehead's style of doing things has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Lu Ke laughed and said, "Then this should be considered part of the organization's cleanup work, right? The people who made the bet didn't play by the rules?"
You have to accept the consequences of your bet.
Whitehouse's actions are clearly cheating.
Luke asked with some curiosity, "Did Pierce's opponent ever cheat like that?"
Viper said, "Of course. If I remember correctly, it took Pierce about three years to completely clean up his tail."
Luke shook his head: "I don't have three years."
Viper laughed, "I know, but you're different from Pierce because you have me, Lu. I'll help you."
Luke looked at the viper.
"Is it free?"
"of course."
Viper rested his chin on his hand, took a sip of wine, and gave Luke a charming look, saying, "However, if you'd like, you can also do me a small favor."
coming.
This will allow us to determine whether tonight's wine is sweet or bitter.
Lu Ke smiled slightly.
"Just say it."
"Napolos Laboratory".
Lady Viper smoothed her hair and looked at Luke: "I heard that this afternoon you decided to terminate your research collaboration with this laboratory."
Luke nodded without any surprise: "Yes, I'm not interested in scientific research."
To be precise.
He is not interested in science.
He became even less interested when this science was about to consume a huge amount of his money.
While he has just taken over, we should decisively cut these useless projects to avoid having to consider sunk costs if we wait a year or two to cut them later.
Lady Viper smiled and said, "I need that laboratory."
Luke raised an eyebrow: "I remember the Napoulos lab, it's in Paris, it's a lab that studies life healing, Maria is interested in that?"
Viper shook his head: "It's not that I'm interested, but that I have a partner who is interested in this lab."
Lu Ke smiled.
Lady Viper smiled brightly as well.
after awhile.
Luke leaned back in his chair, tilted his head, and looked at Lady Viper.
I thought I was your only one.
"You are."
Lady Viper smiled and looked at Lu Ke with a serious expression, saying with certainty, "But Lu, you should also be a man who supports women having their own careers, right?"
Lu Ke laughed and said, "That depends on what you mean by 'business.' If by 'business' you mean the collaboration with the parking attendant's father downstairs, then that's a different story."
Done.
Lu Ke's gaze fell on the empty sofa in the private room.
……
Chapter 307 The Visitor is Xu Wenwu (First Update!)
The sofa was empty.
but……
Just after Lu Ke finished speaking, the space on the previously empty sofa creased, and then Tony Leung, casually dressed in a suit, appeared.
wrong!
It is both civil and military.
Full name——
Xu Wenwu!
Luke greeted him with a smile.
"Xu Wenwu."
“Lu Ke”.
Xu Wenwu, who bears a striking resemblance to Tony Leung and is also the real-life Mandarin, stood up from the sofa, said something, then walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, sat down, and smiled at Lu Ke: "Should I call you Mr. Dan, or Mr. Lu?"
Lu Ke laughed and said, "People who are not familiar with me call me Mr. Dan, but people who are as familiar as Mr. Xu can just call me Lu Ke."
Xu Wenwu nodded.
"Lu Ke, when did you find out about me?"
"Want to hear the truth, or lies?"
"It will be all right."
Luke chuckled, then looked at Viper: "The lie is, when I saw that parking attendant downstairs, I already guessed it."
There are plenty of romantic restaurants in Los Angeles.
If not fifty, then at least three hundred.
But Lady Viper cleverly chose this restaurant where Xu Shangqi worked as her valet.
Lu Ke didn't think it was a coincidence.
When he saw Xu Shangqi, he immediately thought of his father, Xu Wenwu. And when he thought of Xu Wenwu, he naturally remembered that Xu Wenwu had once said that he also had a partner in the Hydra organization.
Xu Wenwu nodded.
"The truth."
"I'm handsome!"
Lu Ke glanced at Xu Wenwu and said truthfully, then his gaze fell on Madam Viper again: "That's undeniable. It's common knowledge that I'm very popular with women. But Maria isn't that superficial. Moreover, Maria specifically chose tonight for our date. I don't think that's a coincidence."
This is why, when he called Rachel to let her know, he said that there was a high probability that the beer wouldn't taste sweet and delicious tonight.
His good looks are enough to make some naive women fall madly in love with him at first sight.
Luke was already used to this.
After reactivating the gene lock, Lu Ke is no longer in control of his soul by his physical body, but rather his soul controls his body.
Along with his inner universe as he rode his horse here, Lu Ke's appearance has been subtly changing almost every day as time goes by.
His appearance at this moment is almost identical to the appearance of his soul.
That is, the appearance of a male god.
It's perfectly normal for an ordinary woman to fall in love with her dream man at first sight.
But this does not include women like Rachel, Cipher, and the Viper Lady in front of us, who are more career-oriented than romance-oriented.
Lady Viper's explanation of helping each other within the same clan was something Luke absolutely did not believe.
Fellow villagers meeting.
Stab someone in the back is the main theme.
