Lu is not only capable, but also ambitious.

Well known.

It is well known that people of Asian descent face far greater discrimination than chimpanzees, at least at the management level, within the federal law enforcement system.

So Luke found a case that could shake the world, and planned to seize it and solve it in one fell swoop. Using this achievement to break down the limitations based on skin color was a perfectly reasonable and logical thing to do.

Maria Hill didn't just realize now that Luke was yellow-skinned.

It can only be described as inertia.

Because in dealing with Luke, he was seen interacting with either Federal Councilor Alexander Pierce or Brigadier General William Stryker. Over time, anyone would selectively ignore Luke's skin color because of this.

Wait a moment.

Maria Hill gave an apologetic look, then suddenly realized the obstacles Luke's skin color posed to his promotion within the federal law enforcement system. A thought struck her, and she looked at Luke sitting opposite her: "Why did Director Dan choose the FBI back then?"

Lu Ke smiled.

"FBI Warning!"

"……what?"

"At that time, I simply felt that it was cool to pull out my ID and say FBI, so I joined. Coincidentally, the Los Santos Chinatown gang needed a new Chinese undercover agent, so I was recruited."

Luke said in a mocking tone, then looked curiously at Maria Hill: "These documents should all be in my file, right?"

His identity crisis has long since been completely resolved.

As for the more obscure parts of the community college and school in Luke's file, they have been completely obscured due to the internal mole incident at the Department of Justice.

At present, it is even more difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D. to make a fuss about Luke's identity than to prove that Daniel Whitehead is Werner Reinhardt of Hydra during World War II.

Maria Hill nodded, then looked at Luke.

"So, Director Dan doesn't mind changing jobs?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Luke raised an eyebrow and looked at Maria Hill, only to be met with her smiling expression: "Commander Hill, do you have any suggestions?"

Maria Hill extended an invitation directly: "What does Director Dan think of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Lu Ke raised his eyebrows and spoke frankly.

"not good."

"..."

Maria Hill's smile froze.

That's not how we talk today.

Luke laughed and waved to Maria Hill: "Commander Hill, don't misunderstand, I have no opinion on S.H.I.E.L.D., it's just that my ideals may conflict with those of S.H.I.E.L.D.."

Maria Hill responded with an "oh".

Luke bluntly stated: "My style of doing things is to fight violence with violence, but obviously, this is not the style of S.H.I.E.L.D. This can be seen from the cooperation in Seoul. Commander Hill must have been very unhappy with me that time."

Hill smiled and was about to speak.

Luke reached out and interrupted, "I know Commander Hill probably wouldn't approve, but I didn't care at the time. After all, we weren't under the same law enforcement system. But if I had joined S.H.I.E.L.D., things would have been different. Don't you think so, Commander Hill?"

In a word.

I still like you. You may not like me, but you can't do anything about it.

But if he joins S.H.I.E.L.D., things will be different.

This is something that Luke realized after what happened in Seoul.

Why go to S.H.I.E.L.D.?

He didn't go to S.H.I.E.L.D., but from a certain perspective, he also owns a stake in S.H.I.E.L.D.

and so……

He might as well continue working at the FBI.

After all, the title of an FBI state director sounds more impressive than that of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

At worst, you can just show your ID to the airport and you won't need to go through security. Unlike Shield ID, which might be suspected of being fake by security personnel.

While talking.

The alarm sounded from the Quinjet fighter jet, indicating that it was about to land.

Only then did the scenes of invitation and rejection come to a natural end.

After half an hour.

A black, bulletproof Chevrolet SUV drove out of the airport, and then a line of six Chevrolet SUVs sped off at full throttle toward Pennsylvania Avenue.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Luke and Maria Hill arrived at the entrance of the white building on time.

Unsurprisingly, even though Luke had a temporary pass and an A-level security clearance, he was still checked by the Secret Service for ten minutes longer than Maria Hill because of his skin color.

Fortunately, the two managed to meet Alexander Pierce, who was already waiting at the Oval Office, at 8:30 a.m., led by Secret Service agents.

“Lu Ke”.

"Sasha."

Alexander Pierce hugged Luke, then looked at the two men and said, "Let's go, the Attorney General and the FBI Director are already waiting for you."

Luke nodded to Maria Hill, and then, led by Alexander Pierce, they arrived at the heart of the Union, in the iconic Oval Office.

into the eye.

Temporary worker.

Minister of Justice.

Director of the FBI.

The three of them looked as if they had been waiting for a long time.

A thud.

With the Secret Service agents closing the door, it was time for the briefing.

The report was not completed as originally planned.

This is a big deal.

After all, the matter of tens of thousands of clones is a major issue, so much so that the temporary worker hurriedly informed the Secret Service in the last three minutes to postpone the meeting with the South Korean temporary worker.

The Secret Service director was somewhat surprised by the change in the itinerary.

"Mr. President, this is the third time that a temporary worker from South Korea has come to visit you."

"I know exactly what he's going to say."

The president, sitting in his office chair, was somewhat speechless. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Luke: "Isn't this all for our West Coast's superhero director? Perfect, the person in question is here too."

The president said this, then looked at Luke: "Director Dan, you're making quite a splash in Seoul. This is the third time the president of South Korea has visited me, saying that for the sake of harmony between father and son, he might need you, the director, to step forward and issue an apology for the dozen or so innocent people who died in South Korea. Can you do that?"

Luke remained expressionless: "That's impossible. I was just following orders."

The president smiled.

"I am following orders. I have not authorized any FBI overseas operations."

"The freedom and safety of federal citizens will be protected at all times and in all places, sir. This is an order authorized to me by the federal government!"

"..."

Chapter 451 The Exchange of Interests in the Oval Office

Lu Ke said this without blushing or skipping a beat.

It seems that this is indeed the case.

The president, the attorney general, and the FBI director present exchanged glances, looking completely unfazed, and then chuckled.

The president smiled and looked at the FBI director: "John, now I know why you've been protecting your capable subordinate."

FBI Director John smiled and replied, "Sir, Director Dan is the face of the FBI on the West Coast."

Well known.

Throughout the West Coast, everyone knows the big name of Police Chief Luke Dane in Los Santos, but no one knows the name of Police Chief in California.

but……

This was definitely not the reason why Director John was so protective of Luke.

At the very least, Director John certainly didn't do it because he admired him.

Lu Ke dares to guarantee it.

Because it was he who instructed Debbie to transfer ten million dollars into Director John's overseas bank account.

Of course.

The situation in Seoul and the demands of the Korean temporary workers are insignificant to the president, because even if Director John hadn't done his best to protect Luke, the president wouldn't have taken any action against Luke for the sake of electoral votes.

The reason why the president is saying this right now is very simple.

They're just making trouble out of nothing.

In other words.

Let's liven things up.

After all, the matter of tens of thousands of clones is a huge issue. If it is not handled properly and is exposed, he, as president, may become the second president in federal history to be impeached and removed from office.

The Attorney General and the Director of the FBI are both seasoned veterans.

After reporting the situation, both Luke and Maria Hill kept quiet, ignoring even the president's several hints.

All are not fools.

This matter definitely cannot be exposed; it must be suppressed.
