A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Zhao Hailun smiled slightly: "You're welcome, this way please."

So the two of them went through a small door inside the room to the next room, which contained various analytical samples.

outside the room.

Jack stood at the laboratory door with his arms crossed, his sharp eyes both preventing anyone from peeking from nearby and warily scrutinizing the others.

Standing to the side, Natasha watched as Luke and Zhao Hailun got up and left the laboratory, heading towards the next room, seemingly chatting and laughing. She couldn't help but walk over to Jack's side.

"Jack."

"Ah."

"I have a feeling that your boss seems to have a thing for this Dr. Zhao."

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Jack turned to look at Luke and Zhao Hailun, who were already in the next room, before turning his gaze back to Natasha: "Really?"

Natasha shook her head: "Don't doubt a woman's intuition."

Jack apologized and then shrugged: "So what if the boss is interested in Dr. Zhao?"

Natasha shrugged. "It's nothing. It's just that this Dr. Zhao seems to be a friend of Tony Stark."

Jack looked at Natasha.

"That Iron Man, the East Coast superhero?"

"Correct."

Natasha raised an eyebrow, looking at Jack who had said those words with a hint of disdain, and then remembered something: "I almost forgot, your boss is a West Coast superhero, isn't he?"

Jack smiled but didn't say anything. He looked at Luke in the next room, who was picking up a utensil that Zhao Hailun had handed him and sniffing it with a smile.

Lu Ke looked down at the flattened blood in the container in his hand, held it to his nose, sniffed it slightly, and after catching the signal of the blood, closed his eyes.

All of a sudden.

The blood signal was as if it had been retrieved and precisely matched in the vast database stored in his mind.

However, he doesn't need to search blindly; he only needs to search for one species.

During his years in the Main God Space, Lu Ke had seen almost every kind of species.

Including werewolves.

Moreover, it wasn't just one breed; he had dealt with almost every category of werewolf that could be named in the entire werewolf catalog.

The word "deal with" here refers to killing someone.

soon.

Data matching this blood signal surfaced in Lu Ke's mind.

Zhao Hailun watched Lu Ke sniff the blood, then close his eyes as if deep in thought, and was somewhat surprised, unable to help but laugh.

"Lu Ke, you can't just guess whose blood it is just by smelling it, can you?"

"Guess? I never guess."

Lu Ke opened his eyes, his gaze deep, and smiled as he returned the vessel in his hand to Zhao Hailun opposite him: "I already know whose blood this is."

Zhao Hailun was slightly taken aback.

"Is it real or fake? Whose is it?"

"you guess."

Luke did not answer Zhao Hailun's question. Instead, he smiled and said something to Zhao Hailun before his gaze moved upwards and landed on Natasha Romanoff, who was outside with Jack and seemed to be chatting and laughing.

next second.

Lu Ke lifted his foot and walked towards the door.

Zhao Hailun, who had been standing there in a daze, came back to her senses, turned around to look at Lu Ke, and then looked at the vessel in her hand.

Are you kidding me?

Is it true that you can tell whose blood it is just by smelling it?

You're an FBI agent, not a police dog.

Besides, your surname is Lu, not Gou.

Zhao Hailun found it hard to believe, and couldn't help but open the container, put it under her nose, and try to smell it.

but……

Got nothing.

Zhao Hailun resealed the container, turned around, and caught up with Lu Ke, who had already opened the door and walked out.

Outside.

After Luke walked out of the room, Jack and Natasha, who were outside, came to greet him.

"Boss."

"Ah."

Luke nodded, then looked at Natasha: "Natasha, can you do me a favor?"

Natasha nodded: "Of course, go ahead."

Luke cut straight to the point: "Make a call to your commander. There's something I'd like to discuss with her."

Natasha paused for a moment, then nodded, took the phone out of her pocket, and put it to her ear.

after awhile.

Natasha took the phone down and handed it to Luke.

Luke took the phone, thanked Natasha, and then walked to the side, smiling as he listened to the woman's voice on the other end.

"Good day, Commander Hill."

"Good day."

Maria Hill, who was on the phone with Luke at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, sat in her office chair and smiled as she listened to Luke's voice.

Natasha watched as Luke walked away from the crowd and spoke on the phone with Maria Hill. She then looked curiously at Helen Zhao, who was also coming out of the room: "Dr. Zhao, have you discovered anything?"

Zhao Hailun looked at Lu Ke, who was making a phone call a short distance away, and then looked at Natasha with a confused expression, shaking her head: "I don't know."

Did he really sense something different?

How did you do it?

After answering Natasha's question, Zhao Hailun's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at Luke, who stood at the end of the corridor by the window, one hand in his pocket, looking like a towering cypress tree from behind.

Curiosity played a part.

There are also...

Natasha glanced at Zhao Hailun, who was standing to the side staring blankly at Luke, and then quickly looked at Jack beside her, giving him a meaningful look.

seems to be saying.

See, I told you I was right. Never doubt a woman's intuition.

Jack smiled but offered no explanation.

While in the midst of the three flights of fire, Maria Hill, the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., was on the phone with Luke. She frowned slightly, seemingly troubled, as she listened to Luke's request.

Luke noticed Maria Hill's predicament, smiled, and said directly, "SHIELD protects the ordinary world, protects ordinary people, and helps them filter out things they cannot yet know. I think I should not be considered an ordinary person."

The five superpowers who formed the Aegis, including the Eastern Kingdom's own Spear and Russia's own Guardian Alliance, all shared the same initial motivation.

That is to protect ordinary people, help ordinary people, and shield ordinary people from people or things that they cannot currently access or know.

But Luke?

As the director of the FBI's Los Santos field office, and also known as the "West Coast Superhero," Luke is by no means an ordinary person.

not to mention……

He just wanted some information.

Even without S.H.I.E.L.D., he still has Hydra, which can still provide him with the information he needs.

It's just that directly contacting S.H.I.E.L.D., which is the right fit for them, saves time and effort.

Maria Hill snapped out of her daze.

“You’ve misunderstood, Director Dan. That’s not what I meant.”

“Give me what I want, and I’ll personally owe you a favor, Commander Hill.”

Without beating around the bush, Luke went straight to the point, revealing the biggest bargaining chip he could offer Maria Hill in this intelligence deal.

A personal, exclusive favor.

"……Fine."

After hearing this, Maria Hill hesitated for a moment, then finally relented and nodded.

“Once I find her, I will send the information to Natasha immediately,” Maria Hill said. “If there is anything we can do to help you in finding Ms. Lucy Chen, please don’t hesitate to ask, Director Dan.”

Luke smiled and said, "I'll let Natasha know if I need anything."

Maria Hill also stated, "I will have Natasha do her utmost to cooperate with Director Dane."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Luke then lowered his right hand, turned around, walked back, and handed the phone back to Natasha.

Natasha took over, saying "Commander" as she walked to the side.

Maria Hill rubbed her temples and waited until Natasha was in a safer position before speaking, "Wait a moment, I'll send you a top-secret, black-box intelligence report. You need to make sure that no one but Luke Dane sees it, understand?"

Top secret, black box level?

Natasha paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded seriously: "Yes, Commander."

Maria Hill then asked with some curiosity, "How far have you gotten in your investigation? Have you found Lucy Chen yet?"
