A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

"I saw Lao Chen. He's on his way to Lucy's apartment. Where's Boss? Lao Chen wants to talk to him."

"The boss isn't here."

"where?"

"Safe House Number Nine, I'll move you there."

"it is good."

In the remote Safe House No. 9, far from the city center, blood flowed everywhere, and eighteen Hydras captured from all over Los Santos knelt on the floor, their faces bruised and swollen, lined up in a row.

Eighteen hydras, trembling, eagerly shared the information they knew.

Because not far from them, two hydras, already defeated, were howling in agony in a kimchi jar.

These Hydras, like the previous assassin Hydra, are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of this living hell.

Luke leaned back in his chair, listening expressionlessly to the chattering of the Hydras in front of him.

quite a while.

Lu Ke rubbed his temples and looked at the eighteen hydras kneeling before him.

"Crack!"

"..."

The eighteen hydras fell silent instantly, their faces filled with terror and the look of utter disbelief as they stared motionlessly at Lu Ke.

Luke glanced expressionlessly at the kimchi jar not far away and said to Earl beside him, "Gag them, they're making a huge fuss."

Earl nodded, stepped forward, grabbed two bloody rags, and shoved them directly into the mouths of the two hydras in the kimchi jar.

at this time.

The phone rings.

After Earl answered the phone, he walked over to Luke's side.

"Jack said that Old Chen wants to talk to you."

"it is good."

Lu Ke got up from his chair, took the phone, turned around, and left the room.

next second.

The eighteen hydras chattered and scrambled for the food, each fearing that they would be pickled in the kimchi jar if they weren't eager enough.

"Hey."

"Lu Ke, when are you coming?"

"almost."

Hearing Old Chen's voice on the other end of the phone, Lu Ke said directly, "Don't worry, since the other party's target is me, as long as I'm not dead, Lucy and Mengmeng's personal safety should be fine."

Again.

A person is only useful if they are alive.

The dead have no value whatsoever.

Old Chen knew this too.

only……

Old Chen isn't someone who can withstand high pressure and become a pillar of support, so it's normal for him to keep asking questions.

Luke also expressed his understanding.

"Don't worry, I'll go there as soon as the plane arrives."

Lu Ke glanced at the time on his watch and patiently reassured Old Chen on the other end of the phone, "Until I arrive, cooperate with whatever Jack wants to investigate. As for the rest, we'll talk about it when I get there."

After receiving Lu Ke's fifth assurance, Old Chen reluctantly hung up the phone.

Earl also came up from behind.

"Director."

"How about it?"

Luke turned to Earl: "Did you get any useful clues?"

Earl shook his head.

"If these Hydra agents aren't lying, then, like the assassin, they only communicated with Hydra in Seoul and basically didn't get any useful clues."

"So, we still need to go to Seoul."

As Lu Ke spoke, he changed the subject and looked at Earl: "Have you made contact with Interpol's 'Wolf Hunt' organization?"

Earl nodded.

"We've made contact, but it seems that Team Leader Wu is currently engaged in a secret operation, and we haven't been able to reach him yet."

"After you get in touch, forward it to me immediately."

"Ok."

Just as Lu Ke was about to say something more, the phone in his hand rang again.

William Stryker's.

"William."

"I've already taken off and will be there in about two hours."

"Okay, see you in two hours."

Since they're going to Seoul openly, they're definitely going to pull off a "dragon crossing the river" stunt.

Ask questions.

In Seoul, what exactly constitutes a powerful dragon crossing the river?

no doubt.

The federal military claims to be the supreme ruler of Seoul, while even the chaebols dare not claim to be the grandfather of Seoul.

In front of the federal military, no matter who you are in Seoul, you have to call them grandpa!

Luke directly pulled in William Stryker, who came from the military.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will likely be many areas in Seoul where the federal military will need to be deployed for operations.

The FBI can authorize joint operations with the military.

but……

Having connections in the central government makes things easier.

After hanging up the phone with William, Luke looked at the safe house behind Earl, thought for a moment, and said to Earl, "Clean this place up."

Earl remained expressionless.

"all?"

"Correct."

Luke's tone remained unchanged: "Leave none alive. Since they are so loyal to Whitehold, send them to serve Stryker."

Earl replied, "I'll take care of it."

Luke smiled slightly and looked at Earl: "As before, after I leave, you will handle the affairs of the bureau. I don't mind having you at home."

Earl nodded, then thought of S.H.I.E.L.D.: "Director, what if the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. come asking you again?"

Lu Ke said directly, "Say it the way you should."

This trip is different from the trip to Dongguo.

The last time he went to Dongguo, he sneaked into the village without firing a shot; the main theme was to keep a low profile.

But this time in Seoul?

He plays the role of a dragon crossing the river, not only doing things in a high-profile manner, but also living a high-profile life.

The other party just wants him to go to Seoul.

Okay.

I'm going to play my cards right now, I'm telling you straight out that I'm here, so bring it on, I'm in a hurry.

Luke smiled and said to Earl, "Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'm going home first. I haven't even been back forty-eight hours, and I'm already going out again. I need to explain things to Rachel properly."

Upon hearing Luke's words, Earl seemed to realize something. Watching Luke drive away, he couldn't help but smile.

……

Chapter 353 The backyard remains as immovable as a mountain!

Earl's smile was quite meaningful.

Luke saw this scene through the rearview mirror, and after a moment's thought, he understood the meaning behind Earl's smile and couldn't help but shake his head.

When he got home, Rachel was still at home and hadn't gone to the TV station yet.

Luke got out of the car and went into the living room.

Rachel, who was sitting at the bar flipping through a magazine, looked up, smiled, and said, "You're back?"

Luke tossed the keys aside and nodded.

"Where is Lorna?"

"School."

Rachel closed the magazine in her hand, stood up, walked towards Luke, put her arm around Luke's neck, and prompted, "Lorna waited for you until very late last night, but you didn't come back. You'll have to explain to your sister yourself later."

Luke looked at Rachel with a strange expression.

Upon seeing this, Rachel raised an eyebrow.

"Are you going out again?"
