A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Commander Victoria Hand turned to look at Heather and the other two, who were being escorted in by Mousse and Nick, and frowned.

"who are they."

"Heather Miller".

Mousse and Nick pointed to the bewildered Heather and truthfully told Commander Victoria Hand, "She is Lu... Chris Chen's girlfriend. Romanov asked us to escort her here temporarily."

Commander Victoria Hand and Maria Hill on the big screen exchanged a glance, seemingly exchanging a message.

Maria Hill said directly, "Commander Hand, arrange a lounge so that Ms. Heather Miller and her companions can rest first."

Victoria Hand nodded.

Agents Mousse and Nick understood, and then gestured to Heather Miller and the couple, leading the three of them straight to the lounge not far away.

After Heather and Xiaobai arrived at the lounge, their brows remained furrowed. Only after Mousse and Nick left did Heather look at Xiaobai, who was embracing and showering each other with affection, with a puzzled expression: "Xiaobai, did I hear that right? That person, the name they were about to say wasn't Chris, was it?"

She clearly remembered that when Mousse spoke, the letter she used started with L, and then suddenly changed to Chris Chen.

Xiao Bai and his girlfriend exchanged a glance, then Xiao Bai nodded thoughtfully: "Hmm, he seemed to be talking about something about the road."

Xiao Bai's girlfriend's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Chris Chen isn't actually Chris Chen, and his real identity isn't some college student, but a CIA agent?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai recalled the spatial layout they had seen when they entered, and the cabin filled with weapons, and instantly gasped: "Chris is a spy?"

Heather shook her head: "No way, I didn't see any CIA markings. Did you see any?"

Xiao Bai looked at Heather and said, "The CIA doesn't have domestic law enforcement authority. This isn't a foreign country. If Chris really is a spy, the CIA certainly can't let people know their true identities when they're operating."

Xiao Bai's girlfriend quickly said, "If that's the case, they won't kill us to silence us, will they?"

Xiao Bai's eyes narrowed, and he opened his mouth to look at Heather: "I don't think so, Heather."

Heather did not answer.

She's in a real mess right now.

The corpses outside.

They attempted to kill their armed soldiers.

And there's also the spy equipment we just saw.

Is it...

Is Chris really a CIA agent?

……

Chapter 433 The Hive Drama Begins

Chris Chan is certainly not a CIA agent.

He works for S.H.I.E.L.D.

It was for this reason that S.H.I.E.L.D. noticed Luke disguised as Chris Chen and then followed the clues to this place.

Coincidentally.

Well known.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s recruitment methods are the same as those of the CIA, KGB, and even Mossad.

These intelligence agencies, like many companies, openly recruit their internal staff.

However, their methods for recruiting field agents differ.

Simply put.

You cannot gain access to these institutions through any means, because they will only extend invitations to those they approve of.

Chris Chen, who just graduated from the University of California at the beginning of this month, was the person recruited by the S.H.I.E.L.D. Los Santos office.

When Luke flew from Washington to Los Santos, it was the same day that Chris Chen completed his onboarding procedures at the Washington headquarters and arrived in Los Santos on the same flight, preparing to go to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base for secret training.

result……

It's quite a coincidence.

Upon disembarking from the plane, Luke saw Chris Chen, who possessed a certain handsomeness reminiscent of himself and appeared both clear-headed and foolish. He decided to simply take Chris with him after getting off the plane.

Then, after waiting and waiting, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were supposed to pick them up finally realized something.

Newly recruited trainee agent Chris Chan has disappeared.

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent mysteriously disappeared at the airport, which was a big deal, so everyone quickly reported the news.

If Nick Fury were still in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D., this matter would definitely not have been reported to the headquarters.

But after Maria Hill took office, she focused on restoring order, so she quickly learned about this matter.

Then S.H.I.E.L.D. obtained the airport surveillance footage and saw two plainclothes officers approach the clear-headed yet foolish Chris Chen at the baggage claim area and, without a word, dragged him away through the airport's staff passage.

Soon after, through those two plainclothes officers, the FBI came to light.

The FBI in Los Santos was directly responsible for Maria Hill's rise to power, so the Los Santos office reported this information to Maria Hill.

Just as Maria Hill was failing to contact Luke and was preparing to contact the FBI directly to inquire about the situation...

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance system has detected that Chris Chen has boarded a plane bound for Denver.

reason……

unknown.

But Maria Hill is certain that the Chris Chen flying to Denver is probably not the same Chris Chen anymore.

This explains why Natasha and Patton, who were originally supposed to fly to Europe, ended up here.

Again.

There are many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but there are very few who are truly capable, at the very least, and who won't annoy Luke with their investigations.

Among these options, Natasha, who was practically half a Luke by virtue of her relationship with Jack, was the only choice.

As for Hawkeye Barton, who was accompanying him, Maria Hill simply felt that having Hawkeye Barton around would allow him to convey a message to Luke.

That is, I know you're trying to poach my people, so don't mess around.

While Heather and Xiaobai were lost in thought in the lounge, Maria Hill, who was on a remote video call in the cabin, shook her head speechlessly. While Natasha and the others were online, she gossiped to Ms. Victoria Hand, "Our Director Luke Dane seems to really have the Eastern tradition."

Victoria Hand couldn't help but laugh and said, "That beautiful host seems to be tacitly approving of this. I wonder what she's thinking."

Hill shook her head and said, "What else can we think? They work in media, they're so beautiful, and when it comes to intelligence, they're the smartest."

While talking.

On the large screen, several remote video signals were also successfully activated at this time.

soon.

Natasha, along with Hawkeye's first-person perspective, appeared on the big screen.

Hill and Victoria also stopped chatting.

"Natasha."

"Sir."

Natasha, who was already standing in front of the huge hole Luke had blasted open, looked at the dark staircase leading underground with her tactical flashlight in hand, and took a deep breath: "We're ready."

Hill nodded: "We can proceed, but be careful."

Natasha said she understood, then exchanged a glance with Hawkeye beside her before leading the twelve SHIELD agents behind her through the black hole.

This descending staircase leads to a large platform built beneath the villa.

into the eye.

On the other side of the large platform, an old-fashioned train is quite conspicuous.

After Natasha shone her tactical flashlight around, it finally settled on several corpses lying on the ground not far away.

There were eight in total.

They all died in the same way: their throats were snapped and they were dumped on the platform like trash.

In that old-fashioned train carriage, there were also five bodies that had died in the same way.

Fingerprints have been verified.

"It's Lu Ke."

"Natasha, over here."

Hawkeye walked to the train tracks, shining his flashlight on a body lying in the middle of the tracks, then on the long tunnel: "Judging from the trajectory, it should have gone that way."

Natasha walked over to Hawkeye, shone her flashlight into the depths.

Where does this place lead?

"Kahn City".

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, who was monitoring and locating the location in real time via the S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite, immediately reported, then said somewhat strangely, "Strange, our ground-penetrating satellites haven't detected it."

Natasha withdrew her gaze: "Nothing detected?"

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent quickly replied, "Yes."

Natasha seemed to remember something, recalling the time they were at the Incheon container terminal, when the Aegis satellite was also suddenly modified for some unknown reason: "Commander."

Hill hummed in agreement, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Ke probably found this place because of this."

really.

The story of Seoul is not over yet.

The hasty conclusion of the case in Seoul also gave Hill the feeling that it was an unfinished and poorly executed ending.

But given that the mastermind was dead, and even Luke had agreed that the case was closed, Hill didn't think much of it.

Hill only became wary after his SHIELD agents in Seoul relayed Luke's message that he had his subordinates fly back to Washington that very night.

at the moment?

It seems this is another continuation of the Seoul story.
