Again.

No one sitting in this oval office sofa is a fool.

The president's excuse to go to the restroom was quite obvious.

In a word.

I won't take the blame for this, but someone definitely has to. If you don't give me an answer in half an hour, I'll name names at the White House press conference later. Don't blame me for not saying so beforehand.

But you can't take the blame for nothing.

There must be an exchange of benefits.

After the president left, it was naturally assumed that the Attorney General, who was also a representative of the temporary workers' camp, would be fully responsible for this matter.

and so!

There were actually only two people present.

The theme is also very simple.

What kind of promises should temporary workers make to make civil servants willingly take the blame?

The Attorney General has just given his offer.

Ministry of Justice.

To be precise, the white building doesn't care about the case in Kahn, no longer cares, and doesn't want to get involved. It's just that you civil servants should handle it yourselves. It's just that if something goes wrong, you'll be the ones to take full responsibility.

In other words.

You took all the profits, but you also took all the blame.

Director John and Commissioner Alexander Pierce exchanged glances as they listened to the Attorney General's offer, seemingly communicating with each other.

after awhile.

The Attorney General took out his phone and sent a text message.

About a minute.

The president wiped his hands with a handkerchief and walked in from outside, looking completely normal.

five minutes later.

Luke, Maria Hill, Alexander Pierce, and Chief John left the white building and headed directly to Quantico.

Quantico military base.

Brigadier General William Stryker was speaking with General Thaddeus Ross, who was also a prominent figure in the Union military.

The two stopped talking after seeing the black Chevrolet SUV approaching from a distance.

In the last Chevrolet SUV.

Maria Hill looked thoughtfully at Luke, who was still resting with his eyes closed to the side: "Director Dane is convinced that I am a member of the military."

Upon hearing this, Luke opened his eyes and looked at Maria Hill.

"Commander Hill...aren't you from the military?"

"..."

Maria Hill opened her mouth, then couldn't help but shake her head, recalling the conversation between Chief of Staff John and the Attorney General in the Oval Office: "I'm curious, was this something you planned from the beginning?"

Luke shook his head: "This wasn't part of our plan."

Maria Hill frowned.

"That……"

"What do you think Alexander Pierce rushed back for last night?"

From beginning to end, the whole thing was done one step at a time.

Last night, Alexander Pierce rushed back in order to find Chief John and, through his conversation, deduce what had happened today.

In a word.

Alexander Pierce wasn't even an insider when it came to Cobra, let alone Director John.

So if we don't give them a heads-up beforehand, this could be a complete disaster.

Fortunately, they had a trump card.

Cloning technology.

The cloning technology is so mature that it already has tens of thousands of samples.

So after getting Director John on board, the rest was simple: how to get the temporary workers at the white building to voluntarily give up such a lucrative opportunity.

If the white buildings knew they controlled the cloning technology, they certainly wouldn't have given it up like this.

but……

"The cooperation agreement I signed with you."

Maria Hill thought of the agreement she had signed with Luke, and looked at Luke with some curiosity: "I thought Director Dane wanted that base for himself."

Lu Ke shook his head and laughed, "Such a large underground base, I don't have that much appetite to eat by myself, and besides, it's not my habit."

When eating meat, it tastes better when you eat it with other ingredients.

That way, if someone else takes a liking to it, even if you don't take any action yourself, someone else will help drive them away.

Maria Hill seemed to have thought of something again, and looked thoughtfully at Luke: "So, what should I call Director Dane tomorrow?"

Luke's lips curled up as he looked at Maria Hill: "Luke, or Director Dane, whatever makes Commander Hill happy."

Maria Hill raised an eyebrow slightly.

She knew very well that the Director Dane that Luke was referring to was the same Director Dane that she had just mentioned.

Of course.

The names may be the same, but the meanings are definitely completely different.

Well known.

Since the last FBI director sent to California disappeared without a trace, the position of FBI director in California has remained vacant.

Of course.

He didn't actually want the position of California police chief, but since the position he wanted was currently occupied.

Luke looked at the glint in Maria Hill's eyes, smiled slightly, and then made a shushing gesture: "It's just temporary, and this matter hasn't been announced yet. Commander Hill can keep it to herself and not tell anyone else."

Ok.

This is now confirmed.

Hill instantly connected all the dots in his mind.

Luke signed an agreement with her and took over the Hive base.

They demanded that the underground base not be exposed.

Alexander Pierce and Chief John.

All in all.

All that talk about justice and merit is just bullshit.

From beginning to end, Lu Ke was simply making plans to further his ambitions.

at the moment.

Ambition comes true.

FBI, California, Director.

what?

Acting Director?

Historically, for anyone who can rise to power, the so-called "deputy" position is just a nice-sounding term.

only……

Hill frowned.

"There's still something I don't understand."

"Please say."

"Director Dane, are you so sure that those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who went to the underground base back then really didn't leak the information to the White Building?"

"This is it."

Luke stroked his chin and looked at Hill: "If it were Commander Hill, and you were going to inform on someone, what method would you choose?"

Hill chuckled, “A phone call, a text message, an email, that’s enough.”

Luke smiled and looked at Hill: "Simply put, you need communication, right?"

Hill raised an eyebrow at Luke's ambiguous smile.

next second.

"Zora!"

"Look."

Luke admired the look of realization on Hill's face and said with a smile, "I've always said that Commander Hill is much smarter than that Nick Fury."

Hill ignored that statement: "So, someone is indeed ventilating the white building?"

Luke shrugged: "Of course they have, but they think they've sent the message out, but that's just what they think."

Hill said in a deep voice, "Zora is too dangerous."

Luke laughed and said, "Yes, so I took the hive and gave Zola to you."

Hill shook his head.

"You even thought of this?"

"Then I say, the Hive is yours, and Zola is mine. Are you willing?"
