A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Luke looked at Jack.

"killed."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Jack nodded, and the magazine in his right hand drew a beautiful arc in the air, slicing through Dr. White's carotid artery with a soft splatter.

next second.

Just as Natasha and Hawkeye arrived with SHIELD agents, they saw Blood Confessions spurt out of Dr. Blood's neck with a "whoosh".

A thud.

Before Dr. Bai could even utter a final farewell, his eyes wide open, he collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Natasha, who had just entered and witnessed this scene, opened her mouth with difficulty, but managed to swallow back the words "Spare his life" that she was about to utter.

Cipher is right.

If Luke wanted to turn Dr. White into a human pig, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with it.

But it would be better if Dr. White were dead.

after all……

What if S.H.I.E.L.D. has some advanced technology that they haven't revealed yet? Even if they've been turned into human pigs, what if S.H.I.E.L.D. still manages to extract some amazing information from Dr. White?

Of course.

If he doesn't want to give it to Dr. White of S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D. won't leave either. But there's a saying: it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who's eyeing you.

Luke looked at the completely dead Dr. White, then turned his gaze to Natasha and Hawkeye, who had arrived with SHIELD agents: "They came pretty fast."

Natasha also turned her gaze away from the dead Dr. White, glanced at her boyfriend Jack, and then looked at Luke with a smile, saying, "They still didn't arrive as quickly as Director Dan. But why didn't Director Dan leave any survivors?"

Lu Ke laughed and said, "Live them? Why?"

Natasha said, "That way we'll know what her and Cobra's plans are. It's better to keep her alive than to kill her."

Lu Ke nodded thoughtfully.

"You have a point."

"That……"

"But I seize every minute."

"..."

Luke glanced at Natasha, who seemed hesitant to speak: "Just as I never accept any form of threat, for enemies who try to assassinate me, there are only two paths for them here: death or a fate worse than death."

talking.

Luke glanced at Cipher beside him and smiled: "But my lover is kind-hearted and can't bear to see a woman suffer in front of me, even if she's my enemy. There's nothing I can do but kill her."

Natasha chuckled dryly twice and looked at Cipher: "Really? Cipher from the world's number one hacker organization is kind-hearted? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

Cipher smiled, took Luke's arm, and said nothing.

In the monitoring center, the clones who had thought they would be left behind and perish along with the self-destructing base felt a sense of relief. Therefore, when they saw the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents breaking in, they obediently raised their hands and let the agents take control of them.

But this control was unexpected, and once it was implemented, it was quite alarming.

Natasha scrolled through the photos of the clones being controlled in the monitoring center, taken one by one by the photos on her tablet, and then matched them with the images of the people she had worked for at Sanfei. A chill ran down her spine.

"The clones here are all our people."

"It was given to me by Alexander Pierce, wasn't it?"

"what?"

Natasha turned her head and looked at Luke.

Alexander Pierce, who had just entered again, twitched his brow: "Luke..."

Good guy.

Is this guy planning to sell me outright?

Luke chuckled, interrupting Pierce, and looked at Natasha: "You forgot, when I went to Washington, Alexander was an imposter. It was probably while this imposter was posing as Director Pierce that he took the DNA of the SHIELD personnel."

As a member of the Federal Council and even the previous director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce had the authority to obtain blood samples from various S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, which is perfectly normal for him.

after all……

"We all saw our current Aegis system in that cloning incubator..."

"squeak!"

Before Luke could finish speaking, a piercing noise instantly filled the headsets of Natasha and the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

The noise came so suddenly that it caught some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents off guard.

Including Natasha and Hawkeye.

But this does not include Luke.

Natasha knew perfectly well what was going on and quickly looked at Luke: "Director Dane, once things are done here, Hawkeye is going on a business trip to Africa for six months. You don't want Jack to not see me for the next six months, do you?"

Luke's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Natasha: "Are you using Jack to threaten me?"

Natasha shrugged.

Luke laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Are you satisfied now, Commander Hill?"

The words just fell.

Maria Hill's voice came through Luke's earpiece as she rushed here aboard a Quinjet fighter jet: "This case is very serious. Even putting aside the Cobra organization hiding behind the scenes, the mere fact that these surviving clones are exposed would be a huge shock to the entire world. We must handle this properly."

What's the best way to change the subject?

Let's get down to business.

Luke nodded in agreement: "You're right, Commander Hill. So how does S.H.I.E.L.D. plan to deal with these clones?"

Maria Hill was just about to speak.

Luke continued, "I must remind Commander Hill that we are not talking about the three to five thousand clones in the cloning chambers that have not yet appeared, nor the three to five hundred living clones that we have captured. This also includes the more than thirty thousand townspeople in the town of Stoneville on the ground who have been replaced by clones."

Yes.

On the ground, in the small town of Stoneville, there was no longer a single natural human being left; they had all been replaced by clones by Dr. White, who had gone mad with greed.

Of course.

It's possible that Dr. Zola did this, but for now, it can only be Dr. White, and it must be Dr. White who did it.

and so……

As Maria Hill lamented, if this matter isn't handled properly, the resulting chaos could be catastrophic.

but!

After Lu Ke finished speaking, he changed the subject.

"Fortunately, this is no longer my problem."

"what?"

Maria Hill, who was aboard a Quinjet fighter jet, was taken aback when she heard this: "What does Director Dan mean by this?"

Luke smiled as he looked at Natasha and Hawkeye, who were also somewhat bewildered by his words, and said to Maria Hill through her earpiece, "This is Nevada, Commander Hill, not California."

Hill frowned.

"so what?"

“I’m the police chief of Los Santos, California, not here. I don’t have law enforcement authority.”

"..."

Chapter 444 Cooperation Where Each Requires Its Own Benefit

Well known.

The Federation is a country that values ​​rules.

Of course.

Regardless of whether his true nature is still rooted in the Brazilian gangster mentality, there's a saying: the more a person lacks something, the more they care about it.

The same is true!

The same applies to nations.

and so……

Although the core of the Federation is still "robbers," it will behave very well in all matters unless absolutely necessary.

The same applies to law enforcement power.

"This is Nevada, not California."

"This base was discovered within the jurisdiction of the city of Kahn, not underground in Los Santos."

"so……"

Luke smiled and said, "Commander Hill, your S.H.I.E.L.D. has high-level law enforcement authority, which I don't. You have to understand that."

Maria Hill paused for less than a second, then said "I understand," before shaking her head and saying, "I didn't expect Director Dan to be thinking about this, but Director Dan is in South Korea..."

Luke smiled.

"South Korea is different."

"How is it different? As far as I know, the FBI does not have law enforcement authority abroad."

"Colonies have no sovereignty."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Maria Hill couldn't think of a rebuttal for the moment, and shook her head: "So, Director Dane is planning to just walk away and leave me with this mess?"

Lu Ke sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help, but I don't have the right to do so."

Maria Hill smiled.
