The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

Lake is quite confident about this invitation.

At the beginning, Lake tried to invite once, but unfortunately Maria Hill went out at that time and couldn't meet him, but it might be a good thing for Lake to come now.

Lake did the math, and at that time the probability of the invitation being rejected was as high as 80%.

This time?

The success rate is 80%.

reason……

Maria Hill now serves as the judicial inspection commander in the Quantico Army Base. What should I say? Although Lake once said to Anna that the army advocates strong people, including strong women, but that is for elite troops .

For the ordinary army, discrimination against women still exists.

In particular, Maria Hill also served as the commander of the judicial inspection, which is not to mention. Therefore, Lake feels that the success rate of this invitation is at least 80%.

the next day.

Lake drove directly to the military base outside New Jersey, and then took a military plane from there, churn, pulled the cabin directly above Arlington County, and parachuted directly to the ground.

Boom!

Lake got up from his backyard, released his parachute, and said hello to Betty who seemed to be on the phone in the backyard: "Hi."

"I'll call you later."

Betty returned to her senses, said a word to the chat partner, and then looked at Lake who fell from the sky in surprise: "Brother, you are..."

Lake shrugged: "The special plane is still on the way back. I found a helicopter and made do with it."

From luxury to simplicity.

I'm used to taking a special plane. When I asked Lake to take a passenger plane, even if it was business first class, Lake was still a little reluctant. Although the helicopter was a little bumpy, they were all comrades in arms, and they could be considered to have a common language. It doesn't matter. It is also a good thing to be able to collect some military anecdotes from chat.

"Where's mom?"

"Chat with Mrs John next door."

Betty said it back to her senses, then looked at the parachutes scattered in the courtyard, her expression became a little weird, and looked at Lake: "Brother, you'd better clean up quickly, if you let my mother know that you gave her favorite kumquat tree to her. Make it like this, haha."

Speaking of the end, Betty couldn't help laughing thinking about the treatment that Lake might enjoy.

Lake also laughed and walked towards the living room: "I know, so hurry up, my dear sister."

Betty's expression condensed, and then she was stunned: "What?"

I didn't parachute home, it's none of my business.

Lake said without looking back: "If you don't accept it, I'll tell the general where Bruce Banner is now."

Betty was shocked and turned around: "You can't know."

Lake stopped and turned to look at Betty, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth: "Want to bet, my dear sister?"

Betty opened her mouth.

bet?

Bet poor.

Betty was silent for a while, glanced at Lake, gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, then quickened her pace, and hurriedly walked to the place where Lake had just landed, and started rolling the parachute like a piece of garbage.

Seeing this, Lake wanted to laugh even more.

Where can Bruce Banner go?

India chant.

This is not surprising at all. Although India has always been ridiculed by the Easterners, within the Federation, the number of people who travel to India first is far greater than the number of people who want to travel to the Eastern Countries.

After all, Indian yoga is much more popular in the Federation than the Eastern Cultivation.

So it's not surprising that Lake knows where Bruce Banner is, and it has nothing to do with the secret surveillance of his sister Betty's cell phone.

Lake swears.

But it's not surprising after Lake knew that Bruce Banner, who was self-proclaimed himself because of guilt, destroyed a block by himself, and simply ran to India to hide and contacted Betty again.

Even Lake didn't bother to intervene, as long as Betty didn't go to India, or Bruce Banner didn't go to India, Lake could pretend he didn't see it.

Over time, there will always be problems.

Moreover.

Lake didn't say it at the time, but he also considered it. For example, this time, wouldn't it be used? If Lake didn't have a little handle, could Betty help him pack the parachute so obediently?

after awhile.

Lake walked to the door and glanced at it, thought for a while, and simply returned to the backyard with a glass of bourbon just poured, and said to Betty, who was trying to arrange a parachute, "What time will you vote tomorrow?"

"Nine o'clock?"

"The result is stable."

"how could I know."

"..."

Tomorrow is the Senate's vote on the newly nominated Education Secretary, Karen Ross. If the number of votes exceeds 51, then Karen will officially take office and there will be a meeting. Just show up with family members.

This is a big day for Karen, and it is also a big day for the Ross family. As we all know, Karen is very concerned about special days. If anyone dares to be absent for no reason, they will be nagged by Karen for at least the next three years. nagging.

"Where are my clothes?"

"Dad said he would bring it back to you in the afternoon."

Betty said that, then raised her head and looked at Lake with some discomfort: "No, why don't you just dance Quantico?"

Lake shrugged: "Too far, I don't want to cause trouble."

The last sentence is the point.

Lake felt that every time he returned to Washington, he would cause something to happen. If he danced in Quantico, and something snakeskin happened, it would directly or indirectly lead to Karen's big day tomorrow. The year will be uneven.

so……

For the sake of stability, Lake chose to jump straight to Arlington. From the start of landing to the start of the Senate vote tomorrow, Lake promised that if the door was not open, even if he went out, he would go straight to the destination.

After half an hour.

Karen, who had chatted with Mrs. John next door, returned home and was very surprised to see Lake, then glanced at Betty who was lying on the sofa, and asked directly to Lake, "Why didn't your sister pick you up? ?"

Betty on the sofa rolled her eyes.

I acted as a free labor force to roll up the parachute for him. What else should I do? The professionals in the army who organize the parachute also have subsidies in this regard.

night time.

General Ross also returned from the Quantico base, and by the way, brought a brand new colonel uniform and handed it to Lake.

Karen, who was in the kitchen, said, "Do you need me to clean up your medal for you?"

Lake said, "I promise every medal I have is new, ma'am."

"correct!"

Karen, who was holding the cooking knife, seemed to have thought of something, looked at the three people standing in front of her, and then looked at Betty: "Don't you also have a military uniform, just together, after the installation, the three of you stand in front of her. Let me see it together."

Lake and Ross looked at each other and didn't care about Karen's proposal.

Betty turned over from the sofa: "Mom, you are joking."

At that time, in order to allow Betty to stay in the embassy more justifiably, and Betty herself was a scientist of the military, so Betty also had a military rank.

A lieutenant.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is, after dinner, Betty, who was wearing a lieutenant's uniform, opened her mouth and looked at the series of bright and blind medals on her brother Lake's chest and the equally rich medals from her father, General Ross.

Betty looked down at her poor medal, blinked, and said to Karen, who was sitting on the sofa and reviewing them, "Mom, can I not wear it?"

In fact, Betty still likes her uniform.

but……

There is no harm without comparison. Compared with the two people next to her, Betty feels like a shivering little cute.

but……

On the second day, Betty was reluctant to go out in a military uniform. This is Karen considering the composition of the family members. It is enough to have one person who does not wear a military uniform in the family. Too coordinated.

At ten o'clock in the morning.

The result is out.

Karen Ross has passed the Senate with 65 votes to become the new federal education minister.

in the corridor.

Lake, who was wearing a school uniform, looked at the protesting people outside, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Betty came over from the side and looked: "These people are really busy."

Lake smiled.

Those people outside came to protest Karen Rose's nomination. The reason is very simple. Karen has no previous experience in the education industry. The experience mentioned here refers to the kind of public education. Karen has, but only Private education experience, Karen is the director of several private education institutions in Washington, which caused another contradiction.

These opponents feel that Karen's inauguration will certainly stab public education.

But if protesting is useful, why is it a derogatory term?

Ross opened the door from the next room, looked at Lake and Betty over there and said, "Come on, take an oath."

Lake and Betty returned to their senses, turned and walked into the room.

After entering.

The media is already there.

On the stage, under the Confederate flag, Karen put one hand on the Bible and held the other high.

"I, Karen Elizabeth Ross, solemnly swear."

"I will support and defend the Federal Constitution against all enemies at home and abroad, and I will be firm in my faith and loyal."

"I voluntarily undertake this obligation, without reservation, and will never evade. For the upcoming position, I will fully and faithfully perform my position!"

"God testify!"

"..."

Under the flashing spotlight, after the oath, Karen Ross will officially become the new federal education minister from this moment on.

soon.

Lake and Ross and Betty also took to the stage to take a group photo, and by the way, took a little more for the media.

afternoon.

Lake left Washington directly to deal with his own business.

recruit……

...

Why!

Why bother.

Give me a comfortable five-day vacation. I don't want to stay at home and code. I made an appointment for the May Day rafting, the May 2 circus, the May 3 zoo, and the May 4 joy. world……
