A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Of course, that's just one perspective.

Therefore, Hill and Commander Abernathy knew that to deal with such a person, you either don't act at all, or if you do, you must strike decisively.

Therefore, the two opposed the arrest now.

As for Luke?

He didn't think as much as Hill and Commander Abernathy did; at least, looking back and forth was not an option for him.

Luke's reason for opposing it is just one thing.

He was tired and wanted to rest for a while.

It's almost July now. Since January of this year, Lu Ke has been working non-stop and hasn't stopped much.

Damn Fuck.

My original intention in coming here was to retire, not to become some kind of Palu.

The results of it.

He received none of the retirement benefits he was entitled to, but he also received all the perks that poor Paru should have.

Even now, there are still things waiting for him to resolve.

The Demon of the Witch's Heart.

Dual-track operations have never been Lu Ke's forte; he prefers to tackle things one at a time.

and so……

Luke looked at Director John and Alexander Pierce: "I agree with Commander Hill and Commander Abernathy. With an opponent like this, all we need to do is be patient. After this, even if we don't do anything, they know they've been exposed. So, they're more anxious than we are now."

Hill nodded: "I agree with Director Dan's point of view."

Commander Abnersey then spoke up: "MARS has an arms exhibition at NATO at the end of this year. I suspect there might be something wrong with it."

Alexander Pierce and Director John exchanged a glance, then whispered a few words to each other before nodding.

ten minutes later.

The meeting ended.

In the words of Alexander Pierce and Chief John, their selection process was already over. As for how the case came about and how it was handled, they left the professional matters to the professionals. They only cared about the result and didn't care about the process.

then……

As Luke followed Hill toward the Army base parking lot, he said, "Then I'll leave it to Commander Hill."

Upon hearing this, Commander Hill frowned and looked at Luke: "Director Dane, you are the leader of the joint investigation team for this operation."

Luke chuckled and said, "There are only three people in this group: you, me, Commander Abernathy is the group leader, I am the group leader, and you are the deputy group leader. When the group leader is not here, the deputy group leader must step in, right?"

Hill raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not here. Is there something you need?"

"I've been working non-stop for seven months since the beginning of this year. Now that things have finally calmed down, I want to take a break and give myself a vacation."

"..."

Hill looked at Luke with a strange expression: "Does the FBI have a lot of vacation time? I don't remember. Has Director Dan already used up all his annual leave this year?"

Well known.

Luke took annual leave when he went to Seoul.

Although the leave slip has not yet been submitted.

Luke nodded and looked at Hill: "Yes, but Commander Hill, have you forgotten something?"

Hill raised an eyebrow.

"what?"

“I’ve been promoted. I’m no longer the director of the Los Santos FBI, but the acting director of the California FBI.”

"so what?"

"With a different job title, naturally, the holidays are different too."

"..."

The director of the Los Santos FBI has 30 days of annual leave.

But the director of the California FBI has a sixty-day annual leave.

But if you climb a little higher...

Tsk tsk.

Having 365 days of annual leave is not a dream.

Most importantly, by then, he will still be powerful and influential while taking daily vacations.

This……

This is the retirement obsession that Lu Ke has been pursuing.

After half an hour.

He took off directly from Quantico and flew to Los Santos on Alexander Pierce's Gulfstream private jet.

Jack handed Luke a glass of bourbon, then sat down opposite him and asked curiously, "Boss, I noticed that Commander Hill seemed a little unhappy when he left."

Lu Ke turned his gaze away from the window and chuckled, "You noticed it too?"

“She wears her displeasure on her sleeve.” Jack paused, then looked at Luke: “Boss, you wouldn’t…”

Luke glanced up at Jack.

Jack immediately fell silent.

Luke chuckled, looked at the somewhat nervous Jack, and shook his head.

"No."

"Oh."

Jack breathed a sigh of relief.

next second.

Luke turned his gaze back to the window, a smile playing on his lips: "But I did invite Hill to have a coffee sometime, though she declined."

Jack suddenly looked up at Luke again: "..."

That night.

Alexander Pierce’s Gulfstream private jet touched down at Los Santos International Airport at 7:30 p.m., carrying Luke back to his loyal city.

By the time Lu Ke got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Rachel hasn't come back yet.

Lorna was home alone.

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Lorna was engrossed in watching TV while her right hand was outstretched, unconsciously fiddling with the light waves that floated above it, resembling the rays of the North Star.

Lu Ke pushed the door open and happened to see this scene: "Not bad, you can control it yourself now?"

Lorna, who was on the sofa, was startled. She subconsciously withdrew her mutant ability and turned to look at Luke, who had appeared.

His eyes first showed confusion, then shock, and finally surprise.

next second.

Lorna sprang up from the sofa with a whoosh and then slammed into Luke's arms with a thud: "Luke, you're finally back."

Not bad.

It wasn't a waste of money to raise them.

Luke's lips curled up in a smile.

He rushed back as soon as he got off the plane, because his home was right here.

really.

Family Hero is right, family is everything.

Lu Ke thought to himself.

Then he saw Lorna nestled in his arms, looking up with bright, surprised eyes: "When are we going on a trip? You promised, you'd take me on a trip after I graduate."

Okay, I take back my earlier exclamation.

Luke opened his mouth, looked down at Lorna whose expression was full of expectation, and thought to himself.

after awhile.

Rachel came home after work.

Needless to say.

After a long separation, their reunion naturally resulted in an earth-shattering battle.

In the master bedroom.

Wearing a sheer, ethereal nightgown and with her long hair pulled back, Rachel emerged from the bathroom. Listening to Luke's complaints from the bed, she lifted the covers and said with a smile, "You can't blame Lorna for this. You did promise Lorna, and I was a witness."

If Lorna can maintain all +s in her twelfth grade, after graduation, Lorna can choose a place, and Luke will pay for it to take her on a trip.

This was agreed upon at the time.

Lorna succeeded, and as promised, Columbia University, Rachel's alma mater, sent the acceptance letter home.

By September, Lorna will be able to attend Columbia Business School.

That's right.

It's one of the top business schools in the world that's known for having the most difficult admission process.

Rachel originally intended for Lorna to follow her path and enter the journalism school, since, given Rachel's current status, everyone in the journalism school was an acquaintance.

But Lorna herself didn't like it, so Luke casually suggested business school, saying that she could help manage the assets after graduation.

then……
