A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Lorna was smitten.

For this reason, Luke had to obtain a letter of recommendation from Alexander Pierce and a letter of recommendation from the Pentagon that Stryker helped him find.

Lu Ke shook his head with a smile: "I know, so I was just complaining. I thought she would miss me after not seeing me for so long."

Rachel laughed and said, "What else do you want Lorna to think? Before you came back, I said I would take her on a trip first, but Lorna absolutely refused and insisted on waiting for you."

Lu Ke smiled.

indeed.

When he was in Seoul, he had told Lorna to go on the trip with Rachel first, but Lorna insisted on waiting for her.

only……

“Sokovia.” Luke stroked his chin and asked with some curiosity, “Why does Lorna want to go over there to play?”

Taking advantage of a moment of clarity, Rachel opened her tablet and started working on tomorrow's tasks. With a slap, she knocked Luke's groping hand away: "It seems that Clarice and David went there last month and said that although it's not developed, the scenery is absolutely stunning, so Lorna probably wants to go there to take a look."

Lu Ke said "Oh" and nodded.

Sokovia.

If he remembered correctly, this was the place where Lorna's half-sister and brother Wanda and Quicksilver were adopted.

Rachel looked at Luke, who seemed lost in thought: "I know you're not finished yet, and there are still a lot of loose ends to deal with. But try to find a week to spare. After all, you promised to do this. Gaining trust is easy, but losing trust is just as easy."

Luke raised an eyebrow and looked back at Rachel.

He recalled that during this trip out, he drank a bottle of beer that he hadn't informed anyone of beforehand.

Lu Ke thought for a moment.

"Honey."

"Ok?"

"There's something I need to tell you."

"..."

Chapter 455 New York State is the Real Purpose

the next day.

Sunny, no rain.

When Earl walked into the director's office, he saw Luke sitting in his office chair, stretching as much as he could while grimacing.

"Director, what's going on here...?"

"It's nothing, it just feels like my kidneys don't belong to me anymore."

Luke waved his hand, grinned, adjusted his posture, and took the documents Earl handed him.

These documents were accumulated while he was away from the bureau, and they all required his signature.

Earl had signed the forms before, but now that he's back, he needs to complete the process himself.

"Twelve Interpol agents."

Luke glanced at one of the documents, raised an eyebrow, and looked up at Earl: "Are you still staying in our guest room?"

Earl nodded: "Yes, their leaders have come several times, wanting to see you."

Lu Ke scoffed, "Where were you when I asked them for the information before? Now it's too late."

talking.

After signing the document, Luke handed it to Earl: "Tell them to find a lawyer and go to federal court. Hopefully, they'll have some fun."

Well known.

He is very vindictive.

Previously, Interpol had been delaying in giving Wu Daxiong his information. He didn't have time to settle the score with them then, but now that he had the time, he was naturally ready to settle his scores.

You wouldn't let me have an easy time back then, so you won't have an easy time now either.

Eighteen Interpol agents were involved in terrorist activities in Los Santos. This charge is enough to give Interpol a run for its money.

Apart from the accounting documents, the remaining documents are mostly similar internal paper documents.

Luke trusted Earl, so he only glanced at the documents briefly before signing his name.

soon.

Earl took the large stack of documents back into his hands and said, "By the way, Director, the state bureau is asking when you're going over."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"Know it."

"The notice was issued by Quantico at four o'clock this morning."

"Don't go."

Luke smiled and said, "The California State Bureau is just a stepping stone, and I'm not the real candidate for Director."

Earl was slightly taken aback.

"That……"

"Interested in coming to New York with me?"

Luke put the pen aside, leaned back in his chair, smiled at Earl, and revealed his true purpose.

Yes.

FBI, New York State, Director.

This is Luke's true destination.

If you want to work your way up in the FBI and achieve 365 days of annual leave as soon as possible, you should definitely go to a place where you can make more contributions.

California may be great, but when it comes to credit, New York is the real gem for making the most of your achievements.

Let's not talk about the distant future, let's just talk about next year.

If the timeline is accurate, next year will be the time when the Chitauri launch a major invasion of Earth, bringing some minor shocks to the Earth's native inhabitants.

Just right.

He's almost fully developed and will soon be entering adulthood. After dealing with Mephisto, it will be about time for him to interact with Odin.

The most important thing.

Lorna will be attending Columbia University in September, which is also in New York City.

and so……

New York City will be Luke's next destination.

However, with the current New York State Commissioner still in office, a direct replacement is not advisable and would also attract considerable attention.

Therefore, he will serve as acting governor of California first, and once Governor John has settled things, Luke can then proceed directly to take up his post in New York State.

It won't be too late.

Luke recalled Alexander Pierce's phone call, stroked his chin, and looked at Earl: "It should be settled by the end of the year. Perfect timing, you can start looking for houses in Manhattan now. By the way, are there any Manhattan properties in the estate we're inheriting?"

Earl nodded: "Yes."

Luke laughed and said, "That's perfect. You, Debbie, and Jack can choose one of them to divide up. While we're still here, let's transfer the ownership first, and then we can set it up when we have time."

Earl asked curiously, "Chief, Brian...aren't you taking him with you?"

Luke shook his head: "I'll arrange things for that guy. Besides, he's a hopeless romantic and not suitable to take to New York."

So he sent Brian to Cahn, Nevada, to help keep an eye on the Hive base below.

Next, two military bases will be built in Kahn City and the town of Stoneville, providing excellent security and ensuring Brian and Mia can live happily ever after.

The premise is that the T-virus in the Hive base will not be leaked.

This thought is on my mind.

Lu Ke couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache.

Zola is Zola after all; even he couldn't figure out how Dr. Zola managed to conjure up the T-virus from the gene serum.

But he had confirmed it when he was at the Hive Base. Although that stuff wasn't as toxic as the real T-virus, it was indeed the T-virus.

It's just a weakened version of the T-virus.

Having considered this, Luke thought for a moment after Earl left the office, then opened the tablet that was placed aside and directly video-connected with Cipher.

Cipher is still at the Hive base.

After all, Dr. Zola needs to move.

So while Luke went to Washington, D.C. with Hill, Cypher was there, helping S.H.I.E.L.D. move Zola's place.

The video was connected quickly.

“Lu Ke”.

"Has Zola moved yet?"

"The last server has just been shipped out."

"Did you check the underlying code? This thing didn't secretly split off and remain as a backup in some obscure corner, did it?"

"No."

Cipher shook his head, then thought for a moment and said, "Lucy, this time the teacher really knows he was wrong."

Zola's betrayal this time was due to his extreme rationality. He only analyzed the existing data and concluded that Daniel Whitehorn and others connected to Hell were able to turn the tables. He was unaware that Luke himself possessed extraordinary power comparable to Hell.

Cipher never said that either.

But this time.

“I hope so.” Luke didn’t care about that. He said it lightly, then sighed and looked at Seifer: “I only spared Zola’s life this time because of you, so you’d better make it up to me.”

Cipher smiled charmingly on the other end of the video call.
