Chapter 96: The Frustrated Houston FBI Director

"Don't worry. Someone with a happy family and who has worked for the organization for over twenty years knows best what the consequences of betraying us will be."

As he spoke, Pierce raised his glass and clinked it with Duke's.

Three days later, in a Boston cafe.

Looking at the thin and sickly middle-aged man in front of him.

Crawford Wilson said, "Tsk tsk, a business elite who used to be worth millions can't even afford hospital treatment now. How pitiful."

"Not only that, but your wife even sold her apartment to help you with your medical treatment, leaving us living in a tiny apartment with our five-year-old daughter."

"Is this your duty as a husband and a father?"

Looking at the guy in front of him who was looking at him with a pitying expression, Jimmy Bentham frowned and said, "Sir, you said you could help me, so I kept the appointment."

"I didn't come here to hear you describe how pathetic I am!"

Facing Jimmy's words, which were spoken with suppressed anger, Crawford Wilson spread his hands and said, "Don't get excited, Jimmy. Of course I'm here to help you."

"I think you should be aware of your condition. According to the current medical level, it is very difficult to cure your disease."

"So, how about we make a deal? What do you think?"

"You're going to die sooner or later anyway, so you might as well leave some money for your wife and children."

"At least with this money, your wife can buy back the apartment she sold. If she's frugal, maybe this money will last until your five-year-old daughter goes to college."

"Well, Jimmy, this deal is a good deal for you!"

Looking at the words of the man in front of him, Jimmy's expression became a little serious.

Moments later, Jimmy Bentham asked Crawford-Wilson, "What do I need to do?"

"It's actually very simple. It's just revenge on those bastards who got you into this situation!"

Looking at Jimmy, Crawford left a business card and stood up, saying, "Think about it carefully, but I suggest you make a decision quickly."

"After all, such a large sum of money is not something you want to get alone!"

After saying that, Crawford Wilson turned and left the cafe.

Picking up the business card from the table and looking at the name Erwin printed on it, Jimmy's expression gradually became struggling.

After returning home, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa wiping her tears, and then she put on a smile when she saw him.

Jimmy quickly stepped forward and asked, "Honey, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine. You haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll prepare it for you."

Susan tried hard to give her husband a smile and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing his wife Susan walking towards the kitchen, Jimmy frowned even more.

Normally, my wife would be working in the supermarket during this time and would never come back.

So, something must have happened.

At lunch time, facing Jimmy's constant questioning, Susan finally told him the news that she was fired.

Seeing his wife constantly comforting him and saying that she would find a new job to support the family, Jimmy felt his heart beating constantly.

Ten o'clock in the evening, in the bedroom.

Looking at his wife sleeping with their daughter in her arms, Jimmy suppressed the urge to cough, quietly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

After coming outside, Jimmy could no longer control himself and started coughing violently, covering his mouth.

When he saw the blood in his palm due to violent coughing, his already hunched body sat down on the ground.

With the help of the dim light at the door, Jimmy felt the blood in his palm became more and more dazzling.

It took him a long time to control his trembling body, then he took a deep breath, took out the business card he had secretly hidden and dialed the number.

"Mr. Erwin, I agree to your deal."

After hanging up the phone.

Crawford Wilson turned his head and looked at Lynn Hall and said, "He has agreed."

"Very good, then let's proceed according to the plan!"

After throwing the finished hamburger wrapper into the trash can, Lynn just stood up from his chair and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Crawford Wilson asked, "Is it true that in the eyes of you bigwigs, ordinary people like us are just ants to be toyed with at any time? And that you can crush us to death when you get tired of playing with us?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Lin En turned around in surprise.

At this moment, Crawford Wilson was extremely excited, his eyes were full of unwillingness, anger, and a hint of pleading.

Seeing this scene, Lin En was a little surprised: "Are you feeling sorry for that Jimmy Bentham?"

In response to Lynn's question, Crawford Wilson clenched his fists with an extremely sad and angry expression.

Seeing Crawford's expression, Lynn understood: "Oh, you are feeling sorry for yourself, right?"

After hearing Lynn's words, Crawford Wilson sat down in his chair in frustration. "I've been with the Houston FBI for so many years, working diligently and conscientiously, and finally got promoted to Assistant Director of the Criminal Investigation Division."

"But with just one word from you big shots, you took away everything from me!"

"is it?"

Hearing Crawford's words, Lynn suddenly laughed: "But from what I know, you were able to become the assistant director entirely because of the organization!"

"Even many of the cases you solved were deliberately fabricated by the organization to help you get promoted."

"Shouldn't it be? Since I'm a member of the organization, then..."

"So, you only want to gain benefits from the organization, but are unwilling to sacrifice for it?"

Seeing a cold light flash in Lin En's eyes, Crawford Wilson hesitated for a moment with his neck stiffened, and finally lowered his head: "I'm just a little unwilling."

“What if it’s my family?”

"Don't worry, the organization will take good care of your family. We won't ask you to die. Maybe after completing this mission, you can continue to be your assistant director!"

At this point, Lin En stepped forward and stared into his eyes: "But if something goes wrong, you know the consequences!"

Facing Lynn's gaze, Crawford Wilson subconsciously lowered his head and dared not look at her.

"waiting for your good news!"

After saying that, Lynn turned around and disappeared from the room.

Three days later, in a luxury shopping mall in Boston.

"boom"

A violent explosion occurred in the mall, and the intense flames shattered all the glass in front.

The sudden explosion scared the customers and staff in the store and caused them to flee. Thousands of people scrambled to escape, causing chaos.

When the police arrived, a stampede had already occurred in the store.

The cries of the wounded could be heard continuously from the devastated scene.

After the ambulance took the injured away, the police and firefighters were about to go in to search and rescue.

A masked man appeared on the big screen outside the building that was originally playing advertisements and songs.

"Citizens of Boston, do you like the explosion I gave you? Don't worry, this explosion is just the beginning. I have planted 23 time bombs in this city!"

"If you don't want these 23 time bombs to explode at the same time, then let Boston FBI Director Richard Jefferson come out and admit what he did in front of all the media!"

"I've lost everything because of his false accusations. Citizens of Boston, if you don't want to lose your family and friends, then you'd better pray that the FBI director is willing to confess his crimes!"

"Remember, you only have five hours. After five hours, I will completely detonate these twenty-three bombs!"

After saying that, the screen went black, and then the music and advertisements started playing again.

Upon seeing this, the sheriff in charge of cordoning off the scene took a deep breath, then looked at his colleagues and said, "It seems that this explosion was a premeditated terrorist attack."

"Report it to the FBI. Now that the criminal has named us, this matter has nothing to do with us!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, an explosion just occurred in the mall behind me. The explosion killed seven people, injured twenty-two, and killed thirty-nine people in a stampede."

"Based on the video footage provided by passersby at the scene, we learned that the explosion was a deliberate retaliation targeting Mr. Richard Jefferson, director of the Boston FBI branch."

"The criminal also claimed that he had planted twenty-three time bombs in the city, and if Mr. Richard Jefferson did not confess his crimes within five hours, he would detonate all of them."

"Because of the criminal's announcement, the entire city is in a state of panic, and many people have fled Boston in various ways."

Listening to the live media reports on TV, Boston FBI Director Richard Jefferson slammed the documents in his hand heavily on the table.

"FUXX! Can someone tell me what the hell is going on? And who is that damn criminal?"

Faced with the furious director, his subordinates lowered their heads and remained silent!

"Speak, are you all silent? Intelligence team, have you found any results?"

Hearing the director pointing at him, the head of the intelligence team hurriedly said, "Director, we sent people to the scene as soon as the incident happened."

"And the Cyberspace Administration has already tracked this criminal down. Since he hacked into the building's video feed through the internet, he must have left some clues!"

"What's the result? I want to know the result!"

"We are still tracking..."

"waste!"

Hearing the answer from the head of the intelligence team, Richard Jefferson pointed at his head and cursed.

"Director, the most important thing right now is to calm the panicked citizens who have chosen to flee Boston in various ways, and then find those twenty-three time bombs."

Looking at the angry director, the head of the public relations department immediately said, "And now dozens of media outlets are blocking the entrance of our federal building, hoping to interview you."

"The criminal's declaration is extremely unfavorable to you. We must find a way to reverse this situation."

After hearing his men's suggestion, Richard Jefferson took a deep breath and said, "Go and draft a statement now."

"Commissioner, this matter concerns your reputation, so I suggest you meet with the media in person and demonstrate a strong attitude to restore your reputation."

Faced with the suggestion of the head of the public relations department, Richard Jefferson thought for a few seconds and then nodded.

"We at the FBI will never compromise with any criminal organization. Protecting national security is our most important responsibility. We will do our utmost to ensure the safety of this city."

Watching the TV, Richard Jefferson was showing a tough attitude.

Lynn turned off the TV and said to Crawford, "Since the plan is almost implemented, you should stay in Boston."

"Oh, don't forget to ask your Houston FBI director to rescue you before you get caught!"

"Are you going back?"

Watching Lin En prepare to leave, Crawford hesitated for a few seconds. "Can the organization rescue me from prison? I mean, I don't want to be imprisoned. Even if they send me to Eastern Europe or even Africa, they'll do it!"

Facing Crawford's expectant eyes, Lynn smiled and said, "Of course, the organization won't give up on any of its own!"

"Thank you!"

Crawford finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lynn say this.

As long as I am not put in jail, it is already the best outcome!
Watching Lynn teleport away, Crawford took a deep breath and turned the TV back on.

Since I am the protagonist of Lynn Hall's plan, I must play this role well!

Three hours after the bombing, inside the Boston FBI station.

"found it!"

Looking at the anxious supervisor standing nearby, the technical staff immediately said, "We've tracked the criminal based on the information he used to hack into the network. We've now locked down the address and IP address of the computer he used!"

After hearing what the technician said, the supervisor asked for the address and immediately asked the action team to capture the criminal.

Half an hour later, in the interrogation room of the Boston Federal Building.

"what!!!"

Listening to Jimmy Bentham's screams, the supervisor angrily asked, "Where did you plant those 23 bombs?"

Looking at Jimmy who looked like he was about to faint but still kept silent.

The supervisor waved his hand, and then his men took out a needle filled with blue potion and inserted it into Jimmy's skin.

"what!!!"

As the potion entered his body, Jimmy Bentham, who was about to faint, wailed in pain again.

The door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and someone from the intelligence team stepped forward and said, "Director, we checked Jimmy Bentham's call records and found an unusual number."

Ten minutes later.

He quickly arrived at Richard Jefferson's office with the interrogation statement. The supervisor quickly reported, "Chief, the suspect has revealed the locations of 23 time bombs in Boston. The operations team and the demolition team have already gone to dismantle them."

After hearing the report from his supervisor, Richard's originally solemn expression slowly relaxed.

"Who the hell is this guy? What grudge do I have against him?"

"Commander, the criminal's name is Jimmy Bentham. He used to be the general manager of a listed group. Four years ago, when we were investigating an economic crime, we discovered that he was involved."

"Because his crime was relatively minor, he was only sentenced to two years in prison. However, after he was released from prison, no company was willing to hire him."

"He also suffered from stomach cancer, but because of financial difficulties, he did not choose to be hospitalized for treatment."

Hearing so many managers, Richard Jefferson frowned and said, "The general manager of a listed company? If he was just a general manager, how could he know hacking technology?"

"Not to mention that even though he was living on a tight budget, he still managed to get hold of more than 20 time bombs!"

"There must be someone behind him!"

Seeing the chief's unequivocal conclusion that Jimmy Bentham had someone behind him, the supervisor nodded and said, "Indeed, Chief, we found an unfamiliar number in Jimmy Bentham's communication records."

"According to Jimmy's confession, the owner of this number is called Erwin. He was the one who provided Jimmy with the time bomb and hacking technical support. He also promised Jimmy a large sum of money after the success of the operation."

"We have now locked down the specific location of the number, and the action team has gone to arrest him!"

"it is good!"

After hearing the supervisor's report, Richard Jefferson said, "I want to see who is behind this!"

Houston FBI.

Watching the news report about Boston on TV, Houston FBI Director Laut Capola smirked, "Haha, I didn't expect Richard Jefferson to be involved in such a scandal at such a critical moment in his fight for the directorship. This is going to be a headache for him!"

Seeing the director's smug look, the deputy director laughed and said, "After the media ferments this, I estimate that this matter will soon spread throughout America."

"While the public tends to forget things that don't concern them, the Department of Justice won't. Especially with the transition of FBI directors, I'm afraid the Department of Justice has already lowered its opinion of Richard."

"But Chief, we can't be careless."

Hearing what the deputy director said, Laut Kapora asked, "Are you saying that the mastermind behind this whole thing is James Duke?"

"That's possible. After all, the Los Angeles police chief withdrew from the race and supported James Duke. Currently, you and Richard Jefferson are Duke's biggest rivals."

Listening to the deputy director's analysis, Laut Kapora nodded: "If all this is planned by James Duke, then we should also pay attention."

"after all."

Before Laut could finish his words, his cell phone suddenly rang.

After answering the phone, the smile on Laut Kapora's face gradually froze.

"FUXX!"

After hanging up the phone, Laut cursed directly.

"Chief, what happened?"

Seeing that Laut's face looked a little grim, the deputy director quickly asked, "Could it be that Duke has also played a trick on you?"

Facing the deputy director's concerned question, Laut stared at him: "Where is Crawford Wilson?"

"He's been on leave for a while now. From the beginning of the year until now, Assistant Director Crawford has been..."

Halfway through his words, the deputy director reacted and said with a somewhat grim expression, "Director, could it be that Crawford Wilson did what happened in Boston?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

Throwing his phone on the table in anger, Lauter Kapora angrily said, "Crawford knew that Richard Jefferson and I were competitors, so he took it upon himself to go to Boston to investigate during his vacation." "I didn't expect he actually found out about the feud between Jimmy Bentham, the economic criminal, and the Boston FBI, so he persuaded Jimmy Bentham to orchestrate this incident."

"Not only that, this idiot even proactively provided Jimmy with time bombs and hacking technical support. Now he's been caught red-handed by the Boston FBI!"

"what?"

Hearing what Raut said, the deputy director looked incredulous.

At first, he suspected that the Boston incident was orchestrated by New York.

But in the end... the one who caused all this was actually one of our own? And he was even caught red-handed by the Bostonians?

"Now Richard Jefferson insists that I was the one behind this!"

"FUXX, THIS FUCKING IDIOT!"

Seeing the director cursing in frustration, the deputy director didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

Although he knew that this matter had nothing to do with the director, it was entirely Crawford Wilson who made the decision on his own for Director Laut.

But others don’t know, and the timing of this incident is too coincidental.

No one would believe that the Houston FBI was completely unaware of the entire incident.

It's true that the pot falls from the sky while you are sitting at home!

After pondering for a moment, the deputy director said, "Director, the most important thing right now is to clarify things with Director Richard Jefferson."

"Even though Richard may not believe it, we must show our attitude and the headquarters..."

Before the deputy director could finish his words, Jeff Russell called.

"Minister, this matter really has nothing to do with me. It's absolutely true. I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Laut Kapora took a deep breath and said, "Prepare the plane. I'm going to Washington."

Washington.

Looking at Crawford Wilson's confession in his hand, Jeff Russell pointed at the two men and cursed them.

After the two of them left Jeff Russell's office in disappointment.

Laut Kapora immediately said to Richard Jefferson: "Richard, this matter really has nothing to do with me. It was entirely Crawford's decision."

"Ah!"

Listening to Lauter's explanation, Richard chuckled and said, "I believe the incident in Boston was not caused by you."

Seeing the hint of mockery in Richard's eyes, Laut explained: "I'm telling the truth. This matter really has nothing to do with me!"

"Okay, Laut, people of our status and position just do what we did. There's no need to act like we're talking to reporters."

"There's only one FBI director position, so it's normal to use some unsavory tactics to secure it."

Richard Jefferson understood why Lauter did this, after all, he had prepared the same method.

But before he could make a move on James Duke, Laut made a move on him first.

"But Richard, this matter..."

Looking at Laut, who still looked like he was being wronged and wanted to explain, Richard, who had originally had a calm expression, frowned: "Laut, you are losing your dignity by doing this."

"It can't be that James Duke in New York is ordering your assistant director in Houston to deal with me!"

After saying that, Richard gave Laut a mocking look, then turned and left.

"FUXX!"

Looking at Richard's mocking eyes before he left, Laut was completely unable to hold back at this moment.

I didn't do anything but I got blamed for it, and everyone still thinks it's my fault!
This feeling is so fucking depressing!
At the same time, the Federal Building in New York.

"Haha, this is beautifully done!"

Listening to the news coming back from Washington, James Duke laughed triumphantly: "The dog-eat-dog plan is indeed a good one, Lynn, what are you going to do next?"

"It's time to send our own people from Boston to Houston."

In response to Duke's question, Lynn smiled and said, "Richard is angry now, and Laut will also be worried about retaliation from Boston."

“So this time, the people from Boston don’t have to do anything when heading to Houston. They just need to let Laut know that they’ve arrived!”

Hearing what Lin En said, Duke nodded: "No problem, I have handed over all the manpower in Boston to you, you can command them with confidence!"

"If necessary, you can also command the people on the list in Houston!"

"understand!"

Nodding, Lin En stood up from his chair and said, "I'll arrange it right away."

Three days later, Houston.

"FUXX, what does that Richard guy want to do?"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the Boston FBI agent actually came to Houston.

Although these guys acted very "secretly", they were still discovered by their men who were always keeping an eye on Boston.

"Commissioner, I think Boston might be trying to retaliate, so they sent someone to infiltrate us secretly."

Hearing what the deputy director said, Laut leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment: "It's possible. After all, Richard has always had a strong desire for revenge."

"Have someone keep an eye on these guys from Boston and arrange for them to 'return' to Boston if necessary."

At this point, Laut frowned and said, "You should also pay attention to New York to prevent them from getting involved."

"understand!"

Hearing the director's words, the deputy director nodded and then left the director's office.

It doesn’t matter now whether Crawford was sent by Laut or not. What matters is that Richard believes that this matter was instigated by Laut’s men!

And Laut also had to guard against Richard's counterattack.

As time goes on, conflicts between the two sides are bound to arise. Coupled with some small actions in New York, Lynn is not worried at all that the two sides will not "fight".

Lynn's plan mainly depends on the psychology of Richard, the director of the Boston FBI branch.

Judging from what he has done in the past, he is the kind of person who will never let go of a grudge and will never let you get what I can't get.

The personality of this type of person is very easy to grasp. You just need to let him identify a target that is trying to trick him, and then he will automatically rush forward and bite.

Sure enough, it was just as Lin En expected.

As time passed, in just three months, the conflict between Boston and Houston continued to intensify, and various small actions began to escalate.

Inside James Duke's office.

"These two are now angry."

Duke, who had flown back from Washington, looked at Lin En and said, "This time, the Attorney General gave these two guys a good scolding behind closed doors. Even Director Andre, who was recuperating in the hospital, called them over."

After hearing what Duke said, Lynn said, "That's to be expected. However, in the past three months, Boston and Houston have also tried to stir up trouble in New York, but I cut them off before they could reach out. Director, Laut and Richard should be out soon."

In response to Linn's question, Duke nodded: "They're almost out. Minister Russell is obviously disappointed with these two guys."

"It's just that the Ministry of Justice has been discussing recently how to give Andre one last dose of dignity!"

As he spoke, Duke took out a document and handed it to Lynn.

After taking the document and taking a look at it, Lin En frowned and said, "The President is going to visit Eastern Europe?"

"This matter hasn't been announced yet, but there have been some twists and turns in the situation in the Middle East, and coupled with the depreciation of the US dollar in China, the President will be traveling to Eastern Europe to communicate with the countries on the list."

At this point, James Duke smiled and said, "You know, although the war in Eastern European countries will cause huge casualties to the local people, it will make a lot of money for the United States."

"So you should also be clear about the president's purpose this time."

After hearing what Director Duke said, Lin En nodded and said, "Director, my name and Steve Rogers' name are also on the list of the president's entourage this time. Did you arrange it?"

"That's right!"

Looking at Linn, Duke smiled and said, "Generally speaking, when the president travels, the Secret Service is responsible for protecting the president's safety."

"However, since Minister Russell will be traveling with the President this time, the Minister and I have suggested that you come along as well."

"Firstly, your abilities can protect the President and Minister Russell. Secondly, the FBI is ultimately under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice, so showing yourself more often in front of Minister Russell would also be beneficial to you."

"As for Steve Rogers? Ha, he was named by the Attorney General himself!"

When talking about Captain America, James Duke's eyes were full of mockery.

"Thank you, Chief!"

In response to Lynn's thanks, Duke waved his hand.

Back in the office, Lynn began to think.

Lynn could understand why Duke wanted him to show up more in front of Jeff Russell.

But was there any meaning behind Jeff Russell specifically asking Steve to follow?

You know, although Steve is a member of the Illuminati and the Avengers, he is also a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. Does the Department of Justice want to take this opportunity to ease the friction between the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. some time ago?
It shouldn't be that simple. After all, the friction between the American official agencies and S.H.I.E.L.D. has been going on for a long time.

Never mind, we’ll know when the time comes!
Thinking of this, Lynn opened the system.

After upgrading the thermal vision to level 6 and seeing that the energy emission attribute had also been upgraded to 4, Lynn shut down the system.

After picking up the approval document brought by Sean and signing it, Lynn asked Barbara, "Barbara, how is Justin Hammer doing in Eastern Europe?"

Well, after Justin Hammer was taken out of prison by Lynn, he was sent to Eastern Europe.

"Boss, Justin Hammer has founded a new technology group in Eastern Europe and is researching the Chitauri weapons you sent."

"According to the Russo brothers' report, Justin Hammer plans to become the largest arms dealer in Eastern Europe after developing new weapons!"

The Russo brothers are vampires, and they were sent by Lynn to monitor Justin Hammer.

Although they will not stop Justin Hammer's development, their presence will always remind Hammer who his "benefactor" is!
"But boss, Justin Hammer's sexual orientation seems to have changed."

"Ok?"

Putting down the pen in his hand, Lin En looked at Barbara and asked curiously, "Did the Russell brothers report?"

"Yes!"

Shrugging her shoulders, Barbara said, "Maybe it's because he was locked up in a prison cell for a few months that Justin Hammer doesn't like women anymore."

"And according to the Russo brothers, Justin Hammer is dating a hunky Eastern European guy, and he's..."

Hearing Barbara say this, Lynn nodded.

This is not surprising, after all, the original Justin Hammer "walked" together with a strong man after being put in prison.

Lynn doesn't care whether Justin Hammer likes men or women. He only cares about whether Justin Hammer can provide him with help when necessary!

A week later, the president made a layover on Air Force One in Washington.

Looking at the Secret Service members who were doing the final detailed inspection, Lynn turned to Steve and smiled, "Did Nick Fury say anything to you before you came?"

Hearing Linn's question, Steve shook his head: "He just told me to protect the president, but he didn't say anything else."

At this point, Steve glanced at Air Force One in front of him, and then asked Lynn, "Lynn, this time Attorney General Jeff Russell specifically asked me to protect the president. Do you know anything?"

"I don't know either. At first I thought he had discussed it with Lu Dan."

Shrugging his shoulders, Lin En looked at the convoy heading towards this side.

As the convoy stopped, Lynn and Steve walked over.

"Lynn, you stay with me during this visit."

Watching the president and Steve shaking hands and talking, Jeff Russell said to Lynn.

Hearing the Attorney General say this, Lynn nodded.

As the President and the Attorney General boarded Air Force One, the plane began to take off from the runway.

There were not many people on board the plane. In addition to the president's entourage, there were also some Secret Service agents and nuclear weapons officers.

Well, I didn’t expect that this nuclear weapon officer is also a die-hard fan of Steve.

Listening to the nuclear weapons officer's excited expression of admiration for Steve not far away, Lynn leaned back in his chair and dozed off.

This time, Lin En treated the trip as a way to relax.

After all, no one would assassinate the US president!
After chatting with the nuclear weapons officer for a while, Steve sat next to Lynn.

"I've noticed your fans seem to span all age groups. It's okay for some older people, but I didn't expect this young man in his twenties to be your die-hard fan!"

Hearing Lin En say this, Steve smiled and said, "I should thank the official publicity for me over the years. After all, they never thought that a person who had been dead for nearly seventy years could actually come back to life!"

Well, ever since Steve crashed his plane into the glacier seventy years ago, it's officially been erected as the American Spirit.

Whether it was the military recruitment or the publicity of other departments, Steve was almost deified.

But what’s interesting is that when Steve recovered from being frozen and chose to join S.H.I.E.L.D.

The US government even stopped promoting it.

"By the way, aren't you planning to sue the government, including those industries like Coca-Cola and the automobile industry that have used your image rights?"

Looking at Steve, Lynn smiled and said, "You know, they've made a fortune using your image and reputation over the years!"

Hearing Lin En's instigation, Steve smiled and shook his head: "Forget it. Ever since I recovered, especially after the Battle of New York, too many people have approached me asking me to be their spokesperson."

"But I pushed all of this aside. I'd rather have a simpler life, not one filled with conflicts of interest."

"Tsk, that's a pity, otherwise you would have been financially independent long ago!"

Facing Lin En's words, Steve suddenly asked curiously, "How much do you think I can claim from them?"

"A lot, come, let's count them slowly!"

As he spoke, Lynn calculated for Steve how much compensation he should pay to the businesses that had used his image and name without his consent over the years.

Not far away.

Listening to the conversation between Lynn Hall and his idol Steve.

The young nuclear weapons escort officer's expression was twitching.

Especially seeing Steve Rogers' expression of shock and feeling that he could get such a large amount of compensation.

This nuclear weapons officer always felt that Lynn Hall was leading his idol into an abyss.

Lynn and Steve were chatting enthusiastically when the president's entourage came to the cabin.

"Mr. Lynn Hall, Captain Rogers, and Mr. Catterall, the President and the Attorney General invite you three to lunch."

After hearing what the accompanying officer said, Lynn and Steve looked at each other, stopped discussing, stood up and walked towards the restaurant.

The president's lunch was not as luxurious as one might imagine.

At least Lynn and Steve thought it was just a simple meal.

Only the nuclear weapons officer excitedly ate all the food and looked as if he was still not satisfied.

After lunch, the president went to the lounge to rest, while Lynn chatted with Jeff Russell.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to become the director of the New York FBI in two months."

Looking at Lynn, Jeff Russell smiled gently and said, "As the director of the FBI branch in the largest city in the United States, and also the youngest director in FBI history, do you feel any pressure?"

"There is a little bit of pressure, but I am confident."

Hearing the Attorney General's "notice," Lin En smiled and said, "Minister, I have been working in New York since I joined the FBI."

"I rose through the ranks from agent to assistant director, director, and deputy director, and I never left New York during all those years."
