A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

The reason Commanders Hill and Abernathy objected to capture now was simple.

Because these two people are different from Luke.

Luke is an idealist.

If I feel that you are going to kill me, or I feel that you are a bad person, then I will kill you or arrest you, that’s right.

But Hill and Commander Abernathy are procedural justice.

That is, the evidence party.

At the moment, Macallan Distro is only suspected to be inextricably linked to the Cobra organization, but there is no actual evidence.

That photo of Wu Daxiong can only strengthen this suspicion, but it cannot be used as conclusive evidence.

not to mention……

The arms business of Macallan Distro's MARS is very popular among NATO countries.

In the absence of evidence, you simply don’t know who will jump out to speak for him if you arrest him.

Maybe then, Director Alexander Pierce will jump out to speak for Macallan Distro.

Of course, this is just saying that.

So Commander Hill and Commander Abernathy know that to deal with such a person, you either don't take action, or if you do, you have to kill him with one strike.

Therefore, the two opposed arrest now.

As for Luke?

He didn't think that much about Hill and Commander Abernathy. At the very least, there was no market for him to look forward and backward.

There is only one reason for Luke's objection.

He was tired and wanted to rest for some time.

It's almost July now. Since January this year, Luke has been spinning without stopping.

Damn Fuck.

My original intention of coming here was to retire, not to be a palu.

The results of it.

None of the benefits that a retired person should enjoy, and none of the treatment that a hardworking palu should have.

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

Witch heart demon.

Dual-line operations have never been Luk's specialty. Luk prefers to solve things one by one.

and so……

Luke looked at Director John and Alexander Pierce: "I agree with Commander Hill and Commander Abernathy. All we need to do against such an opponent is to be patient. After this time, even if we don't If they make any move, they also know that they have been exposed, so they are more anxious than us now."

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

Commander Abernathy spoke up at this time: "At the end of this year, MARS will have a weapons exhibition at NATO. I suspect there may be a problem here."

Alexander Pierce and Director John looked at each other, then lowered their heads to discuss a few words with each other, and then nodded to each other.

ten minutes later.

The meeting ended.

In the words of Alexander Pierce and Director John, their decision is over anyway. As for how this case came about and how to handle it, professional matters are left to professionals. They only want the result and don't care about the process.

then……

Luke said as he followed Hill towards the parking lot of the army base: "Then please leave it to Commander Hill."

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

Luke chuckled and said: "There are only three people in this team. You, me, and Commander Abernathy are the action team leaders. I am the team leader, and you are still the deputy team leader. If the team leader is not here, the deputy team leader must be there." It’s on, isn’t it?”

Hill raised an eyebrow.

"No, what's wrong with you?"

"I have been working continuously for seven months since the beginning of this year. Now I have finally slowed down. I want to take a break and give myself a holiday."

"..."

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

Well known.

When Luke went to Seoul, he took annual leave.

Although the leave note has not yet been filled.

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

Hill raised an eyebrow.

"what?"

"I was promoted, and now I am no longer the director of the FBI in Los Santos, but the acting director of California."

"so what?"

"The duties are different, and naturally, the holidays are also different."

"..."

The director of the Los Santos FBI has thirty days of annual leave a year.

But the director of the California FBI has an annual leave of up to 60 days.

And if you climb up again.

Tsk tsk.

Three hundred and sixty-five days of annual leave a year is not a dream.

The most important thing is that by that time, I will still be so powerful while taking every day off.

This……

This is the retirement obsession that Luke pursues.

After half an hour.

Take off directly from Quantico and fly to Los Santos on a Gulfstream private jet belonging to Alexander Pierce.

Jack handed Luke a glass of bourbon, and after sitting down across from him, he asked curiously: "Boss, I saw that Commander Hill seemed a little unhappy when he left."

Luke looked away from the window and said with a smile, "Did you see it too?"

"She has written on her face that she is unhappy with you." When Jack said this, he was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Luke: "Boss, can you..."

Luke glanced up at Jack. Jack stopped talking instantly.

Luke chuckled, looked at Jack who was a little nervous, and shook his head.

"No."

"Oh."

Jack breathed a sigh of relief.

next second.

Luke's eyes turned to the window again, and the corners of his mouth raised: "But I did invite Hill to have a cup of coffee when she had time, but she refused."

Jack made a swipe and looked up at Luke again: "..."

That night.

The Gulfstream private plane belonging to Alexander Pierce touched down at Los Santos International Airport at 7:30 in the evening, carrying Luke back to his loyal city.

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

Rachel hasn't come back yet.

Lorna is home alone.

Lorna, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, was watching TV attentively while spreading her right hand out, unconsciously playing with the light waves floating on it like the light of the North Star.

When Luke opened the door and came in, he happened to see this scene: "Not bad, can you control yourself now?"

Lorna on the sofa was stunned for a moment, subconsciously removed her mutant ability, and turned to look at Luke who appeared.

There was confusion in his eyes at first, then shock, and then surprise.

next second.

Lorna screeched and ejected from the sofa. Then with a bang, she bumped into Luke's arms: "Luke, you are finally back."

Not bad.

Not in vain.

The corners of Luke's mouth rose.

After he got off the plane, he rushed back in a hurry, wasn't it because his home was right here.

really.

The family man is right, family is everything.

Luke thought in his mind.

Then he saw Lorna fluttering in his arms. She raised her head and suddenly flashed her bright and surprised eyes: "When will we go on a trip? You promised that you would take me on a trip after I graduate."

Okay, I take back what I just said.

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

after awhile.

Rachel also came back after work.

Needless to say.

The reunion after a long separation was naturally followed by an earth-shattering battle.

In the master bedroom.

Rachel, who was wearing a tulle and hazy nightgown and holding her long hair, walked out of the bathroom. Listening to Luke's complaints on the bed, she lifted the quilt and said with a smile: "You can't do this. Blame Lorna, you did promise Lorna, I am still a witness."

As long as Lorna can maintain a perfect + in grade 12, after graduation, Lorna will choose a place and Luke will pay for it and take her out on a trip.

This was agreed upon at the time.

Lorna also succeeded in doing so. Rachel's alma mater, Columbia University, also sent a notice from Columbia University to her home as agreed.

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

That's right.

It is one of the top business schools known as the most difficult to get into in the world.

Originally, Rachel was thinking of letting Lorna follow her path and enter journalism school. After all, with Rachel's current status, looking at everyone in the journalism school, she knew everyone.

But Lorna didn't like it herself, so Lu Ke casually said that she would go to business school and help manage her assets after completing her studies.

then……

Lorna was moved.

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

Luke smiled and shook his head: "I know, so I was just complaining. I thought she would miss me after not seeing me for so long."

Rachel smiled and said: "What do you want Lorna to think? When you didn't come back, I said I would take her on a trip first, but Lorna refused to agree and insisted on waiting for you."

Luke smiled.

indeed.

When he was in Seoul, he also told Lorna to travel with Rachel first, but Lorna must wait for her.

only……

"Sokovia." Luke touched his chin and asked curiously, "Why does Lorna want to go there to play?"

Taking advantage of the sage's time, Rachel opened the tablet and was doing tomorrow's work. She slapped Luke's hands away and said, "It seems that Clarice and David went there last month and said there was a place there." Although it’s not developed, the scenery is stunning, so Lorna wants to go there and see it.”

Luke snorted and nodded.

Sokovia.

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

Rachel looked at the thoughtful Luke: "I know you haven't finished your work yet, and there are still a lot of things to deal with. However, try to find a way to spare a week. After all, this is what you promised at the time. It is easy to gain trust. , but it’s just as easy to lose trust.”

Luke raised his eyebrows and looked back at Rachel.

He thought about going out this time and drinking a bottle of beer that he hadn't reported in advance.

Luke thought for a moment.

"Honey."

"Ok?"

"I have something I must confess to you."
