A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

After all, no one within Hydra, not even Whitehead, knew the exact location of Zola's cloning base.

This was also the main reason why Whitehouse cut off Zola's research funding at the time.

As a major investor, Zola didn't even mention the specific location of the laboratory for his invested project. This made it hard for the investor not to suspect that Zola had simply created a PowerPoint presentation to swindle his research funding.

Luke only learned of these things through reports from his three subordinates after he received Whitehall's estate.

Therefore, he had reason to believe that even the Texas address was likely something Dr. Zola deliberately mentioned to attract attention.

But if Dr. Zola's cloning facility isn't in Texas, then where is it?

No one will know if Dr. Zola wants to.

Even if Luke controlled all the satellites overhead, he still wouldn't be able to find out.

So that's why Zola panicked a little just now, but only panicked, and didn't wet his pants out of fear.

If Zola can keep his cover up for the next 72 hours, once those 72 hours are up, he can mobilize all the Hydra forces he currently controls to deal with Luke.

"okay."

Luke took a deep breath, shook his head, chuckled, and then looked at Madam Viper: "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Lady Viper paused slightly, then met Lu Ke's gaze with a charming smile and shook her head: "Sorry, no."

This time it was Lu Ke's turn to be stunned.

"My period's here... wait, the last time my period came, it was like that too..."

"The seventy-two-hour countdown began an hour ago, Director Dan."

"so what?"

“As the supervisor, Director Dane, I can consider your behavior as an attempt to bribe the referee with your body.”

"what?"

"As the oversight commissioner, my responsibility is to fairly and impartially oversee Director Dane's seventy-two-hour self-defense counterattack."

"so……"

Luke understood, stroked his chin, and looked thoughtfully at Lady Viper: "You mean, for the next seventy-two hours, you have to stay by my side and not let me sleep with you, is that what you mean?"

Lady Viper thought for a moment and nodded: "That's exactly what I mean."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow: "That's easy. I won't sleep with you, you sleep with me, that won't be bribery. If that doesn't work, you can give me some money after you're done sleeping with me. It's a monetary transaction, so it won't be bribery. I don't mind."

Lady Viper laughed.

next second.

Lady Viper seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Lu Ke with a somewhat inexplicable expression.

Knowing what Madam Viper wanted to say, Lu Ke stood up, put his arm around her waist, and said with a smile, "Boss, how do you plan to play with me tonight? It's up to you."

Before and after a major battle, there will inevitably be artillery fire.

This is tradition.

Moreover, this is a very good tradition.

We must maintain this.

Again.

Waiting is always agonizing, especially when you have to wait to kill someone; it's an even more unbearable experience.

But as a great man once said, time always flies when you're doing something.

Luke planned to love while waiting, loving while waiting for his most loyal subordinate to give him a signal.

and so……

Luke finally managed to go to the hotel with Mrs. Viper.

no way.

Since it's a transaction, it definitely needs to be done in a hotel, not at home. If it were done at home, it would be more like a behind-the-scenes deal to bribe the referee.

Lady Viper is very good at avoiding suspicion.

While Luke was sleeping.

Jack, who was in the underground Hive prison cell, opened his eyes again with a whoosh, jumped up from the floor, and gasped for breath.

William Stryker and Alexander Pierce, who were standing nearby, quickly helped Jack up, their faces full of concern.

"God, Jack, are you alright?"

"Damn it, your heart stopped beating for almost five minutes."

“Alexander and I both believe you are dead.”

“I didn’t, William, don’t drag me into this.”

"Really? Then who was it that suggested moving him to the side together?"

"not me."

Alexander Pierce and William Stryker remained optimistic, still having the leisure to bicker even at a time like this.

Jack, who had just woken from unconsciousness and looked shaken, sat silently on the edge of the bed, letting the two bicker in his ear, his face full of confusion and thought.

at this time.

Jack couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, instantly attracting the attention of the two who were bickering.

William and Alexander exchanged glances upon hearing Jack's sudden, cheerful laugh, and then both turned their gazes toward Jack.

"Jack, are you... alright?"

"I hope he wasn't electrocuted."

"Great!"

Jack looked up abruptly, his face filled with excitement and joy, and repeated to the two of them, "That's great."

William and Alexander looked at each other in bewilderment once again.

"That's wonderful!"

"Zola's plan to assassinate the boss failed. I saw it. The boss is alright. That's great."

"..."

Chapter 420 Dr. Bai's Furious Outburst

Jack's expression was one of ecstatic joy, even bordering on mania.

William Stryker and Alexander Pierce looked somewhat bewildered, even confused.

The assassination plot failed.

It makes it seem like you were there.

"I was there."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Stryker and Pierce looked at Jack's somewhat ecstatic but not delirious expression, exchanged glances, and then asked him seriously what was going on.

Jack composed himself, and just as he was about to tell the two about his extraordinary adventure, he suddenly remembered something and looked up at the ceiling.

There were no cameras on the ceiling.

but……

Cameras and listening devices are everywhere.

Jack's eyes lit up. He snapped out of his daze, walked to the desk, grabbed some paper and pen, and then said something to Stryker and Pierce.

next second.

Stryker and Pierce stacked themselves up like a human pyramid, completely surrounding Jack from all sides.

Jack lay on the ground, writing furiously.

When Cypher received Alice's message and was about to tell the three the latest news that Luke was not dead, he was just about to see the scene projected onto the screen when he saw Jack being pinned down, as if Stryker and Pierce were ganging up on him.

Seer was somewhat surprised.

"You are..."

"Shh!"

Pierce heard Cipher's voice, looked at the projected Cipher, and quickly made a shushing gesture.

Cipher blinked.

"Alice."

"Yes, Mother."

Cipher was a computer expert, so she was able to quickly adapt to new things. In just a short while, she was already able to automatically ignore Alice's way of addressing her: "Do you know what they're doing?"

Alice in the red dress shook her head: "There are no sensors installed on the floor."

The implication is that they don't know.

Meanwhile, Jack, lying on the floor, had already written down the extraordinary adventures he had experienced while he was unconscious, using the most concise language.

Simply put.

He had just lost consciousness due to a powerful electric pulse.

However, it is not a coma in the conventional sense.

Jack felt as if he had entered a magical space, a space that contained only him, or rather, a space with countless versions of himself.

In that space, he was surprised to find that there were countless versions of himself. However, many of them were asleep, while only one of them seemed to have a green light on his control panel, as if he were on a green light.

So Jack went over to take a look out of curiosity.

As a result, you won’t know it until you look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

He saw his boss, Alexander Pierce, and even, through the mirror's reflection, himself pouring wine.
