A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

There is also a manor house in Jersey City, across the Hudson River.

The manor is used for important events, such as hosting banquets, while the penthouse on Fifth Avenue is used for daily living.

After all, the federal building in New York State is in Manhattan, and the headquarters of CBS News is also in Manhattan.

So living on Fifth Avenue makes commuting very convenient.

But after arriving yesterday, Rachel wasn't very satisfied with the apartment's decor. Considering there was still some time before moving in, she planned to redecorate and furnish it.

Luke didn't care and let Rachel do as she pleased.

Campus entrance.

Lorna saw Luke and Rachel to the door: "So Rachel, are you and Luke going back to Los Santos today?"

Rachel laughed and said, "I'm going back to Los Santos. I don't know about your brother."

While talking.

Rachel smiled at Luke: "So, Mr. Dan, are you coming back to Los Santos with me?"

Lu Ke smiled and was just about to speak.

A black Chevrolet SUV was parked on the side of the road.

next second.

The car window was rolled down.

Maria Hill appeared in the car, looking at Luke with some surprise. After a moment of astonishment, she pushed open the car door and got out.

"Director Dan, what a coincidence?"

"It's quite a coincidence."

Luke, somewhat surprised, shook hands with Hill who had followed him over: "Commander Hill, shouldn't we be in Washington, D.C."

Hill, who had already greeted Rachel and Lorna, answered Luke's question: "They came to Manhattan for a meeting, which just ended. Director Dan is here..."

Luke pointed to Lorna beside him: "Give it to my sister."

Hill suddenly realized.

"Is Director Dan heading to the airport now?"

"That's it."

"That's great."

Hill laughed and said, "Perfect timing, I was just about to go to the airport too, wanna come together?"

Luke looked at Rachel beside him.

Rachel smiled and said, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for Commander Hill?"

Hill waved his hand and said with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, unable to refuse her hospitality, Luke and Rachel got into the black SUV that was heading to JFK Airport together.

Lorna, who remained where she was, watched the black SUV drive away. After looking away, she rolled her eyes, took out her phone from her pocket, and dialed: "Clarice, I've arrived. Where are you?"

As a good friend and fellow mutant, Clarice Chan also enrolled at Columbia University. However, unlike Lorna, who needed a letter of recommendation, Clarice Chan earned her admission with a genuine B-level scholarship.

JFK International Airport.

The Gulfstream private jet borrowed from Alexander Pierce has not been returned and is still being requisitioned by Luke.

After all, repaying a life-saving debt with a plane is already a very worthwhile thing.

In the hangar.

The black SUV came to a smooth stop.

After Luke saw Rachel off, he hugged her and then watched her board the private jet.

He didn't move.

On the way there, Rachel was chatting when she suddenly realized that Hill wasn't going to the airport to go back to Washington, but to Texas.

The destination, to my great surprise, matched Lu Ke's.

This is not.

When Hill heard that Luke was also planning to go to Texas, he once again extended an invitation.

Going with Hill's private jet is much better than Luke having to take Rachel back to Los Santos first before taking off for Texas.

The Gulfstream aircraft was pushed out of the hangar, ready for takeoff.

A ding-dong sound.

Luke took out his phone and looked at the text message Rachel had sent.

The text message contained only two words.

"coincide?"

"Maybe."

After replying to the message, Luke looked at Hill, who was already being invited by the SHIELD private jet not far away, smiled, put away his phone, and walked over.

after awhile.

The Aegis private jet, during peak hours at JFK International Airport, cut in line directly to a flight that was already ready for takeoff to Seoul, taxied rapidly, and soared into the sky.

In the cabin.

Luke and Hill sat facing each other.

"Director Dane, here's your bourbon."

"Thank you."

Luke took the bourbon from a female S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, glanced at the agent who was turning to walk towards the rest pod, and then looked at Hill opposite him: "New assistant?"

Hill introduced Rita: "I had sent her out before, but she didn't like to work independently, so I brought her back to continue being my assistant."

Luke nodded and took a sip of his drink. "By the way, Commander Hill, did you have any official business in Dallas this time?"

Hill shook her head, somewhat embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it's a SHIELD secret, so it's not easy to disclose. I hope Director Dan won't mind."

Luke smiled and said, "Of course not."

Hill breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with some curiosity, "Director Dane's trip to Texas this time must not be on official business, right?"

The Aegis system's jurisdiction extends from the highest point in the sky to the deepest part of the ocean, encompassing all nine continents.

The FBI is different; they have a specific role for each person.

Luke looked somewhat embarrassed: "It's indeed not official business, but, I'm sorry, it's a personal matter, so I'd rather not talk about it. I hope Commander Hill won't mind."

Hill smiled and replied, "Of course not."

Luke didn't say anything, but raised his glass and clinked it with Hill's.

at this time.

Rita, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had just gone to the rest pod, came over with a document in her hand and handed it to Hill: "Commander, Sanfei just sent over the information on the Sawyer family."

Lu Ke, who was drinking, paused slightly with his right hand.

Hill took the documents from Rita and was about to look through them when she noticed Luke's right hand, which had paused earlier.

"Director Dan, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Lu Ke recovered in a second, shook his head, and took another sip of his drink.

Seeing this, Hill didn't ask any more questions. He sat down opposite Luke and started looking through the documents in his hand.

into the eye.

It was a photograph.

Moreover, Lu Ke is very familiar with the person in the photo.

It was his last trip to the Hive, and the one he was planning to visit this time, that was his new Texas girlfriend, Heather Miller!

……

Chapter 464 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The atmosphere in the cabin was very quiet.

Luke leaned back in the sofa chair, turned his head to the side, and savored the bourbon in his hand while looking at the scenery outside the cabin.

Meanwhile, Hill, sitting opposite him, was intently flipping through the information he had on the Sawyer family, the family of Heather Miller's biological parents, and occasionally picking up a glass of wine to sip.

Neither of them bothered the other.

They all seem to be reserving the most important private space for each other.

but……

This is a game.

no doubt.

There is only one rule for the game.

Whoever speaks first loses.

Lu Ke felt that his chances of winning were quite high.

Luke knew perfectly well why Hill was in New York and why, by such coincidence, he was also going to Texas.

only……

He didn't quite understand.

Did I give myself away somewhere?

It shouldn't be.

The one who went to Texas earlier was Xu Wenwu, and there was also an older Jack clone.
