A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Luke and Alexander watched the two women chatting happily, shook their heads and smiled helplessly, then exchanged a knowing glance.

Alexander was the first to extend an invitation.

"Shall we go to the outdoor terrace for a smoke?"

"Okay."

Luke readily agreed and followed Alexander to the terrace outside the private room.

On the terrace.

After taking the cigar from Alexander, Luke lit it with his cigar gun and sat on the recliner behind him, looking at Alexander beside him.

The rules of the world.

The women were chatting inside the house.

The man was outside discussing serious matters.

We can begin now.

Let's get straight to the point.

Luke smiled slightly at Alexander.

After receiving the signal, Alexander smiled knowingly and, without beating around the bush, said directly, "Someone is not very happy with my decision."

Luke was not surprised by this.

"Oh?"

“They think that Louis is one of our people.”

"Understandable."

Lu Ke nodded, expressing his opinion.

It's normal for there to be differing opinions within Hydra. Even if there weren't any, Alexander would have said there were.

Without it, Alexander would have no way to create a sense of crisis for Luke, and thus, he would have no way to get Luke to pledge his allegiance.

"But I convinced them."

Alexander changed the subject and looked at Luke: "I told them that losing an ally who rose through the ranks because of his family background is not as good as forging a lasting friendship with an ally who rose to the position of Assistant Director of Federal Operations in Los Angeles based on his own abilities. Trading a mediocre person for a talented one is a deal that you won't lose no matter how you look at it."

Luke responded to Alexander's praise with a "Thank you."

He didn't say much, because he knew that what followed was the key.

Alexander then changed the subject once again.

"They strongly agree with this."

"But they still have doubts about our friendship."

Alexander shook his head and smiled as he said this, then looked at Luke and said, "Sorry, these old guys are quite vigilant."

Luke waved his hand and said with a smile, "So, what do I need to do to dispel these old guys' concerns?"

Alexander pondered for a moment, then looked at Luke: "There's an old guy lately who's been bothered by something, and speaking of which, it actually has something to do with you."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"I?"

"Tangrenbang".

"..."

Luke didn't speak, but looked at Alexander.

"The Chen Huaxing you killed, besides his identity as a member of the Tangren Gang, actually had another identity. Do you know what it is?"

"do not know."

Lu Ke shook his head.

Like Hydra, a highly secretive villainous organization, the Ten Rings are no less secretive than Hydra.

It's normal that he doesn't know.

"The Ten Commandments Gang!"

Alexander didn't keep Luke in suspense and went straight to the point: "He comes from the Ten Rings, an organization whose power is no less than ours."

Luke raised his eyebrows at just the right moment, revealing his inner surprise.

However, Alexander did not linger on this topic. After briefly introducing the Ten Rings, he brought the conversation back to the main issue.

“We used to have a cooperative relationship with the Ten Commandments Gang.”

"The Tangren Gang is the Ten Rings Gang's disguise in Los Santos. Some of the goods we cooperate on are transported to the port of Los Santos through the Tangren Gang."

"There's one of these items that you might recognize."

"His name is..."

"CPH4!"

"..."

"CPH4?"

"Correct."

Alexander Pierce, a cigar in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, looked at Luke with a smile: "Do you know what this is?"

Luke smiled at Alexander, not answering the question, but casually saying, "Do you still need to buy this from this Ten Rings gang?"

Please.

Can't we be a little more sophisticated?

Who are you?

Hydra!

The largest known villainous organization on Earth in the Marvel Universe.

none of them.

What did you say in the end?

The entire Federation is practically under your secret control, and you're saying you need to buy CPH4 from the Ten Commandments?

It's noisy.

After Luke finished speaking, he looked at Alexander with an undisguised "Are you kidding me?" look: "Sasha, if you say that, I will start to doubt the strength of your organization."

This is the truth.

If the largest known villainous organization on Earth needs to buy even a simple over-the-counter anesthetic from someone else, then the organization's strength is hard to believe.

Alexander smiled and shook his head.

“Our demand for CPH4 is enormous. The CPH4 extracted from blood orchid alone is far from meeting our needs. However, our technology is also not as advanced as that of the Ten Commandments Gang, which can directly extract CPH4 from pregnant women.”

"..."

Their people tried, but they just couldn't extract it; otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have bought it from the Ten Commandments Gang.

Luke listened to Alexander's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

Ok.

Strength is not the same as skill.

He hadn't asked Karl how he did it, since he hadn't considered extracting it himself, and he had even less interest in inquiring about the details of the extraction technique.

Luke looked at Alexander's expression.

obviously.

Judging from Alexander's expression, Hydra had probably conducted many such experiments, all of which seemed to have failed.

but……

Lu Ke was still somewhat curious.

"Two questions."

"explain."

"First, what do you need so much CPH4 for?"

Lu Ke asked, looking at Alexander: "If it's just about replicating the super soldier serum, then you could just wait for the military's results and use them directly. Why go through all this trouble?"

On the plane back, Alexander told Luke about their power distribution.

It wasn't very detailed, but it was enough for Luke to know that Hydra was now almost ubiquitous in the political, business, and military spheres of the Federation.

Alexander didn't speak, but turned to look at Lindsay, who was still chatting happily with Rachel inside the room, before turning his gaze back to Luke.

"Do you know another reason why the Sentinel Special Service was established?"

"Are there other reasons?"

"Of course."

Alexander laughed and said, "Another reason why the Sentinel Special Service was established is so that we can have this God-given power in our own hands."

There was a pause.

Alexander raised his glass and clinked it against Luke's, his voice low and mysterious: "In other words, we want to create our own mutants!"

Again.

The reason they failed last time was because they lacked high-end combat power. In the end, some of their high-end combat power was out of control and even turned against them.

Therefore, it is easy to understand why Hydra wants to create a high-end combat force that belongs to them and is under their control.

They don't hate mutants, but they need mutants and they need to justify the capture of mutants.

Therefore, the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau was created!
