A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

"What are you thinking about?"

"..."

Lu Ke snapped out of his daze, looked down, and saw Zhao Hailun lying on her side, one hand behind her head, seemingly not surprised by her current state.

Zhao Hailun smiled at Lu Ke: "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Ke's lips curled up: "Oh right, let me repeat, I've forgotten how Mrs. Zhao tricked Mr. Zhao into marriage."

If he remembered correctly, Zhao Hailun seemed to have mentioned to him at the bar yesterday how her mother had managed to win over her father.

This situation seems familiar.

really.

Like mother, like daughter!

Like mother, like daughter.

After a night of nourishment, Zhao Hailun, looking radiant and glowing, smiled slightly upon hearing this, got out of bed, displaying her magnificent figure, and said meaningfully, "Now I finally understand why Lucy is so loyal to you."

Luke smiled at Zhao Hailun: "So, you are Lucy's best friend, but the kind of superficial best friend."

Zhao Hailun shrugged: "Women are naturally drawn to strength."

Luke's lips curled up in a smile.

"I'm strong?"

"powerful."

"Thank you."

Lu Ke thanked Zhao Hailun for her affirmation, then lifted the blanket and picked up the clothes he had carelessly discarded on the floor the night before and put them on.

Seeing this, Zhao Hailun, who was propping herself up on the bed with her arms, also prepared to get up. But just as she was about to stand up, she frowned and couldn't help but sit back down on the bed.

Without him.

pain.

Lu Ke turned to look at Zhao Hailun, who had just gasped for breath, smiled, buttoned his shirt, then leaned down and kissed her forehead, saying with a smile, "This is the price of Mu Qiang. Get some rest. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Done.

Lu Ke picked up his suit jacket, which had also fallen to the ground, shook it, and then walked out of the bedroom under Zhao Hailun's gaze.

When he returned to the hotel, it was already 9:30.

Jack and Natasha had been waiting in the room for almost an hour.

As soon as Luke swiped his card to enter the house, he immediately attracted the attention of Jack and Natasha.

"Boss." Jack quickly got up from the sofa and walked towards Luke: "Where are you going..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Jack shut up in time.

Because he could smell the lingering perfume on Luke.

Natasha, who had come with Jack, also keenly detected the lingering scent of perfume on Luke, and even more accurately than Jack, she found the source of the perfume in her memory.

This is……

The scent of Dr. Helen Zhao's perfume.

hiss!

Lu Ke was with Zhao Hailun last night.

Good guy.

Dude, your ex-girlfriend and daughter are missing. Is it appropriate for you to go and harass her at this time?

Natasha gave Luke a strange look.

Just a glance.

She didn't dare look any longer.

However, Natasha finally understood why Luke had left alone yesterday.

Natasha had initially thought that Luke had sent them away last night, perhaps to meet with Xu Wenwu or something.

It turns out he got involved with Zhao Hailun.

Although Natasha had just glanced at Luke, her eyes held a mixture of contempt, a hint of reproach, and disbelief—it was only for a single glance.

But Luke still noticed it.

However, he didn't say anything, after all, he also felt a little embarrassed.

Luke immediately changed the subject and looked at Jack.

Where are my change of clothes?

"bedroom."

"Okay, wait for me outside."

Lu Ke nodded and walked straight to the bedroom. When he came out of the bedroom again, he had changed into a brand new suit.

"Sit down." Luke walked out of the bedroom without changing his expression, invited Jack and Natasha to sit on the sofa, and then looked at Natasha: "Where are the files?"

Natasha snapped out of her daze, decrypted the tablet that was placed to the side, and handed it to Luke.

“These are the blood sample comparison results sent by the bureau at five o’clock in the morning.” Natasha paused, glanced at Jack beside her, and then said, “Jack, why don’t you excuse yourself for a moment?”

Jack was stunned.

What the hell.

Should I avoid it?

Are you kidding me? Why didn't you let me leave last night?

Jack blinked, thinking to himself, but he also knew that the information Natasha mentioned was probably not something he could access. So, despite his complaints, he still got up from the sofa.

"Need not."

Luke looked up, extended his right hand, and gestured for Jack, who had already stood up, to sit down. Then he looked at Natasha and said, "Jack has my complete trust in him."

Natasha did not insist upon hearing this.

She naturally knew that Jack was one of Luke's most trusted people.

But that's just how the process works.

Since Maria Hill took office, she has placed great emphasis on rules and regulations. In recent days, nearly 100 S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have been dismissed at the headquarters for not following the rules.

She didn't want to be fired by the commander over such a trivial matter.

After all, if she were fired, she would have no choice but to return to the Guardians of Russia.

Frankly speaking.

That place was a nightmare she couldn't shake off.

After following the proper procedures, Natasha smiled apologetically at Jack, who had sat down again, and then looked directly at Luke: "According to the data comparison, the DNA data matches that of a werewolf who lives in North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The owner of this DNA is a direct descendant of this werewolf. However, no perfect match was found in the SHIELD werewolf database."

Luke flipped the tablet in his hand and showed Natasha a picture of an ordinary-looking man who looked to be in his fifties with a thick beard.

"he?"

"Yes."

“But the DNA data doesn’t match him 100%, and there’s no match in your database either.” Lu Ke chuckled. “Then he must be his illegitimate child.”

Natasha couldn't be sure, only saying, "Maybe."

Lu Ke shook his head: "Whether it is or not, we'll know once we go."

Done.

Luke's gaze went straight to Jack.

“Call Stryker and ask him to help arrange something…”

"The SHIELD aircraft is already on standby."

Natasha interrupted Luke and, meeting his gaze, explained, "Commander Hill guessed that you would go there in person after seeing the information, so he specially dispatched a private jet from the nearby SHIELD base."

Are they really going all out?

Winning over?

We still need to make sure they are watching him 100% from every angle.

Luke's thoughts raced, and he smiled slightly, nodding, "Please thank Commander Hill for me later."

Natasha smiled and said, "I will."

Lu Ke stopped talking and got up from the sofa, walking out of the room.

Jack and Natasha followed closely behind.

"Ring ring." Lu Ke, who had just stepped out of the room, took out his phone, looked at the incoming call, raised an eyebrow, and put it to his ear to answer: "Sasha."

Alexander Pierce's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sorry, my phone wasn't with me when you called."

"fine."

"So, is there anything I can help with in Seoul?"

"No need, someone's already here."

"Right."

Alexander Pierce, as a member of the Federal Council, naturally knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. had sent people there as well, and nodded: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Luke stepped into the elevator and, seeing Jack and Natasha walking in from outside, said directly to Alexander Pierce on the other end of the phone, "Keep an eye on my electronic pet for me. I haven't seen him in days, and I miss him."

He was referring to Dr. Zola.

Alexander knew that Luke was talking about Dr. Zola, and also knew that Luke couldn't speak right now, so he said directly, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on things for you."
