A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

federal.

As for other places, no reports have been received yet, so theoretically speaking, this case has not escalated to the international level.

As the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., Maria Hill can decide for herself that this case does not yet need to be reported to the Council of the Five Overlords.

As for the selection of personnel on the military side...

William Stryker smiled and looked at Ross beside him: "My men are good at catching mutants, but for this kind of thing, we'll have to rely on your elite troops."

General Ross laughed, "Your men have captured Magneto before, more than once. They're much more capable than mine."

Stryker waved his hand.

"In the end, Magneto still got away."

"I'm different too."

General Ross said something.

Those who know the story understand what he meant.

The Hulk, I guess.

but……

Those in the know also know that after the Hulk wreaked havoc in New York, it was ultimately General Ross who released the Hulk.

the reason.

I understand everything I understand.

Back to the point.

General Ross stated directly, "Both Director Dane and Commander Hill have clues suggesting that this Cobra organization may exist under NATO military organizations. Coincidentally, I have a special forces unit under my command that is perfectly suited to cooperate with your operations."

While talking.

The conference room door opened, and a soldier in camouflage, clearly the kind of person who was all about getting things done, walked in.

"Clayton Abernathy, Special Forces Commander!"

"General Hawke."

Maria Hill seemed to recognize the visitor, and was somewhat surprised to see him enter: "The NATO frontline commander in the Afghan war."

When General Clayton Abernathy realized he had been recognized, he looked down and smiled, "That was my old title."

Hill frowned, somewhat puzzled, and said, "I heard that after the general stepped down, he was always at the Pentagon, so why..."

General Ross chimed in, "Because special forces never really existed, just like S.H.I.E.L.D."

Special forces are an independent and clandestine department within their federal military.

Commander Clayton Abernathy is currently leading this stealth combat force.

After Commander Clayton Abernathy hugged Hill, he pulled out the chair next to General Ross and sat down.

Hill, who had sat down again, smiled and explained to Luke, who was looking at him curiously, "I worked with Commander Abernathy in Afghanistan."

Luke laughed and said, "Then why do you still say you're not from the military?"

Hill shrugged: "I've never given a straight answer."

Lu Ke was speechless.

Commander Abernathy, now seated, stated directly, "Based on the preliminary investigations by the FBI and S.H.I.E.L.D., if this Cobra is operating under the shadow of NATO, then I do have a suspect."

Luke and Hill looked at each other.

Commander Abernathy took something resembling a USB flash drive from his pocket, placed it on the table, and then clicked on it. Instantly, a projection was displayed from the USB flash drive.

Immediately afterwards, a company logo appeared in the projection.

MARS.

Of course.

There's also the image of the behind-the-scenes boss of this arms company that has been working diligently within NATO for many years.

McAllen Destro!

Lu Ke looked at the ally who appeared on the projection—the only one who hadn't come to visit him since he took office—and felt no emotion.

Alexander Pierce looked at the appearing Destro, his heart stirred, and then looked at Commander Abernathy.

The cobra incident was only recently revealed.

Even S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't found Destroy yet.

But the military personnel simply produced the photos.

What does this mean?

The military probably had its eye on Destro a long time ago.

fine……

This guy is not my ally.

Lu Ke is the one.

Alexander Pierce's mind raced with thoughts.

really.

Commander Abernathy pointed to McCarran Destro, who appeared on the projection, and after explaining that this guy was the CEO of MARS, he said, "The special forces have been keeping an eye on this guy for two years. There has been evidence that he is secretly supporting many terrorist organizations, but we have been struggling to find the evidence."

Hill frowned: "MARS, SHIELD also noticed this during their preliminary investigation, but our investigators didn't find anything unusual."

Abernathy chuckled, "This guy has his own office in a NATO military organization. Is it possible for him to openly present evidence?"

Hill nodded thoughtfully.

Luke, however, was somewhat curious: "Commander Abernathy, but even that doesn't prove anything..."

The words were not finished.

The phone rings.

Lu Ke took out his phone, glanced at the number, apologized, and then answered the call in front of everyone.

after awhile.

Luke hung up the phone and looked at Commander Abernathy: "Okay, that's him."

Those present were taken aback by what they heard.

Luke didn't say anything, but pulled out a manipulated screenshot of the surveillance footage that Debbie had just sent him and handed it to Hill, who was also curious.

Hill took the phone and looked at the picture that had been sent.

into the eye.

The picture Debbie sent was of former Interpol agent Wu Daxiong shaking hands with McAllen Destro.

Well known.

Wu Daxiong is an Interpol agent, which sounds impressive, but he's just a lowly Karami.

McAllen Destro is an arms dealer, and a legendary figure who managed to sell his weapons to an organization with an office within NATO.

For a big shot like that, Wu Daxiong wouldn't even get a chance to shake hands, let alone get close to Destro.

But the two shook hands.

WHY?

Considering that Wu Daxiong is not only an Interpol agent but also a member of Cobra, this seems to make sense.

After passing through everyone's hands, Lu Ke's phone returned to him.

"Even if this Distro is not Cobra, there is no doubt that he has intricate connections with Cobra."

"They just arrested him?"

"no!"

General Ross's blunt and straightforward proposal was rejected almost immediately by Luke, Hill, and Commander Abernathy.

"This time their attempt to assassinate me failed."

"We've already alerted the enemy."

"Therefore, we only have one chance."

"Either don't arrest them."

"If we're going to catch him, let's catch him red-handed!"

"..."

Chapter 454 Lu Ke's Obsession with Retirement

Hill and Commander Abernathy opposed the arrest at this time for a simple reason.

Because these two people are different from Lu Ke.

Luke is an idealist.

If I feel you're going to kill me, or if I feel you're a bad person, then I'll kill you or arrest you, that's for sure.

But Hill and Commander Abernathy are both procedural justice advocates.

That is, the evidence party.

At present, McAllen Destro is only suspected of having some connection with the Cobra organization, but there is no actual evidence.

That photo of Wu Daxiong only reinforces the suspicion, but cannot be considered conclusive evidence.

not to mention……

McAllen Destro's MARS arms business is very popular among NATO countries.

Without concrete evidence, you have no idea who would speak up for him if you arrested him.

Who knows, at that point, even Director Alexander Pierce might jump out and speak up for McClane Destro.
