The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

the next day.

While wiping the water droplets from his hair, Lake walked down the stairs and greeted Skye who was opening the takeaway box at the bar.

Skye looked up and replied.

Lake walked over and sat on the high stool: "What to eat?"

Skye smiled mysteriously and took it out from the takeaway box...

Two cups of soy milk.

Two fritters.

Two hemp balls.

...what the hell?

Lake looked at this breakfast with a certain country's characteristics, blinked his eyes, and looked at Skye: "Wait, how long have I slept?"

Skye was a little curious: "What do you mean."

Lake pointed to the breakfast on the bar: "Where did this come from."

"Downstairs."

Skye threw the box into the trash can next to it and said, "At the intersection of this street, it used to sell pizza, but when I came back from a morning run with Alexis this morning, it became This one, Alexis bought the same one I bought."

Lake grabbed a cup of soy milk and took a sip.

smell……

It cannot be said that it is the taste in memory, but the difference is not too outrageous, it belongs to the category that is barely acceptable.

But Skye?

After Skye took a sip, his expression suddenly became weird, he retched twice, and looked at the soy milk: "What the hell, what kind of drink is this, it tastes really..."

Lake smiled and said, "There's sugar in the kitchen, add more, and have a drink."

Skye looked up suspiciously: "Have you ever drunk?"

Lake shrugged, and then said curiously, "You haven't had it before, how did you remember eating this today?"

Skye shrugged: "I don't know, maybe, because I have half the blood of Dongguo, I think, this is my food, and I haven't eaten it, so I bought it and tried it?"

Lake nodded.

This reason is impeccable.

after awhile.

Skye took a sip of soy milk with five spoons of sugar added, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Lake: "I can drink it this time."

Lake smiled: "If you don't like it, don't drink it. Then why don't you do it? We are not short of money for a cup of soy milk."

Skye lowered his head and drank the soy milk with five tablespoons of sugar in his cup without speaking.

Lake didn't say any more.

Skye's thoughts are easy to guess. Only people who have been really hungry know how precious food is, and only such people, even if they are not to their taste, will not throw it away.

This is a good quality.

"correct."

Skye bit the hemp ball that Lake let out and said to Lake, who had already stretched his claws to the wine cabinet, "Aren't you going to call that friend of yours?"

Lake was slightly taken aback.

Skye shrugged: "That's it, the friend you chatted with after getting drunk with Cassel last night, say yes, give that friend a call to see if there is any advanced technology or something."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

The memory of drinking last night was re-transmitted into his mind. It seems that after drinking the third bottle of wine, both Lake and Cassel were talking to Owen, trying to figure out a way to see if there was any way for the resources of the two of them. Find out what pharma company is working on a specific drug or whatever.

After remembering it, Lake said thank you to Skye, locked the wine cabinet again, and walked towards the door: "I'm going to work, remember to call if you have anything."

Skye said ok to Lake who was grabbing the coat and went out. Then, after finishing the hemp ball in his hand, he quickly cleaned up and prepared to go back to his room.

A few days ago, she found a very skilled teacher on the Internet who was willing to teach her computer technology for free.

New York State Building.

Lake's official position has been promoted, and naturally, the location of the office has also changed.

"Sir."

"Happy New Year, Tiffany."

After Lake and Tiffany, who was also a Yale schoolgirl and his assistant, said hello, they walked into his office, turned on the computer, and took out the satellite phone sold by the Continental Hotel from it, and dialed the old man directly. Friend Lister's phone.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Liszt."

"...Happy New Year, Mr. Black King."

After Lake and Liszt exchanged their blessings, they said straight to the point: "That's it, Mr. Liszt, I have a friend, and his friend was recently diagnosed with a tumor in his lungs. He asked me to ask if there are any The means of treatment, and then, I immediately thought of Mr. Liszt's organization."

friend?

Liszt was a little confused: "Mr. Black King, I think this matter is not difficult for you."

You are the king of the immortal royal family. The immortal queen has given birth to two children for you. You are all immortal, and a mere lung cancer can also make you?

Lake smiled and said: "Mr. Liszt, that friend of mine is a close friend, and there is still some gap in vision. This is a last resort, but not a necessary one."

Liszt understood: "Okay, Mr. Black King, let me inquire. As soon as there is news, I will tell you immediately, okay?"

Lake said thank you.

hang up the phone.

It's not that Lake doesn't see Cassell and Irving as true friends, but sometimes it's not a good thing to lead them into a world they don't know well.

As Lake just said, it is a once and for all way to directly turn them into a blood clan, but it is not the only choice. At least, if you lead them into another world, can the feelings be so simple and unpretentious?

after awhile.

Assistant Tiffany knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, it's time for the meeting."

Lake nodded, got up and left the office.

combat center.

When Lake and his assistant Tiffany walked in, the director of the New York State Department of Homeland Security and his assistant had already come over. After seeing Lake coming in, they nodded and said directly, "Let's start."

The homeland agent sitting at the console directly connected to Langley's side. The big screen was instantly lit up, but the back of the big screen was not the Langley headquarters, but a military base in the Middle East.

A Langley female agent appeared on the big screen.

"Good morning, Agent Noel."

"Good morning, Director Carmen, Deputy Director Edwin."

Lake flipped through the information in his hand, and the conversation was all handled by Director Carmen next to him.

The Department of Homeland Security is in charge of homeland security. Anything that may threaten federal security falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security. Of course, it is better to prevent terrorist attacks from happening on federal soil.

So the Department of Homeland Security cooperated with Langley, who was collecting and operating abroad.

Just like right now.

The Langley female agent Noel, who has been in charge of intelligence acquisition at a military base in the Middle East for many years, intercepted a terrorist message that may have been launched against New York.

To be precise.

This news came out before Lake was promoted. However, there was only this rumor at the time. Over the past year, the New York State Department of Homeland Security has been cooperating with the Noel agent on this news. .

The so-called terrorist act does not mean that you can do it immediately.

Do you really think so many federal law enforcement agencies are vegetarians?

Although some explosives can be purchased in the Federation, those are all under control, and even those on the black market are under surveillance.

You take it for a bank robbery or something, no problem, it's a matter for the local police department and the FBI.

But what if you use these explosives for terrorist acts?

Ha ha.

Feel sorry.

The Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the Firearms and Explosives Administration are guaranteed to drop you in the air the day before you've just bought it and are ready to go.

Therefore, explosives that want to launch a terrorist attack against the Federation can only be smuggled in from the outside.

This alone will stop 98% of terrorists. If you want to transport explosives in, especially in New York, even the leader of Hell's Kitchen will sink your body into the Hudson River. bottom.

After the September 2001 incident, even Kim, who was doing all kinds of evil, cooperated with the angry New York law enforcement community to hunt down the terrorists who were hiding all over New York.

To put it bluntly, in today's New York, capable terrorists have become extinct, and if you are a member of the Middle East, if you go to the black market to buy a gun, the backhand will report you.

Not to the NYPD, but to Kim Bing.

I have to admit that in the dark world of New York, Jin has absolute control. Otherwise, when Lake was in the New York Police Department, he would not have been busy with George and Beckett for so long without finding the one who eliminated Jin. Opportunity now.

Now?

Lake has followed suit. Even after eliminating the gold merger, the huge market that has been vacated will have a second gold merger. There is no need to eliminate harm for the people.

Pull away.

Back to topic.

Agent Noel on the big screen took the information handed over by the person next to him, and said to Director Carmen and Lake a little excitedly: "We made substantial progress in the operation last night and arrested Hassan Raham!"

Lake turned towards the main Carmen next to him: "Where did this Hassan Raham come from?"

Carmen, who is 50 years old this year, said directly: "You caught it when you went to the special zone on vacation. Specifically, let Agent Noel tell it."

Lake looked at Agent Noel on the big screen with a look of listening intently.

Agent Noel nodded and said: "Deputy Director Edwin, this Hassan Raham was tracked and located after we heard about it for almost five months. We didn't know anything about this person before, his true nature. Identity, is the sixth in command of [Liberty Glory]."

Lake was taken aback.

Glory of Liberty, a subordinate organization belonging to a certain country, is also an organization that has been traced for more than a year and has been found to have plans to carry out terrorist acts against New York.

Can……

Number six?

This status is too low, right? What are you responsible for in that organization, the logistics?

But after thinking about it, the sixth in command is also a big fish.

Lake said directly: "How long does it take to pry open his mouth over there?"
