A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Luke took the beer Letty offered him, then clinked glasses with Don: "We're family, no need for thanks."

His exoneration and reinstatement were already part of his plan.

Although it has taken quite a long time.

but……

The result was perfect.

Luke arrived half an hour ago, but he was just talking to Brian in the backyard about Baraka Dybul's case.

He didn't expect this guy to be caught anytime soon.

After all, Baraka Debour had been on the FBI's wanted list for many years without being caught, so it was impossible for Jack to catch him in just a few days after taking over.

This isn't a movie shoot.

So after handing the case over to Jack, Luke didn't pay much attention to it, only saying "as soon as possible," because he didn't want to put too much pressure on Jack.

Just right.

Luke saw Brian here today, so he decided to chat with Brian about the case for a while in the backyard.

“Lu Ke”.

Holding hands with Brian, Mia, who seemed still deeply in love, asked curiously, "Didn't Rachel and Lorna come?"

Luke laughed and said, "School's about to let out for break. Lorna and her classmates are studying at home to prepare for their exams, while Rachel went to a charity gala hosted by the mayor's wife."

He was going anyway.

But Tang is back today, and compared to Tang, the charity gala held at the upscale hotel in the city center is nothing.

However, the invitation had been sent a few days ago, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to go, so Rachel went instead.

Rachel and he are engaged; she's his fiancée and can represent him at such events.

Even if it's late, you still have to go over there and show your face. Being late is fine, but not going at all is not a good idea.

In addition, he had promised Rachel that he would pick her up later.

So he didn't stay with Tang for long, and besides, he really wasn't suited to such a lively occasion. After chatting with Tang and Letty for a while, he chose to leave.

Tang and Letty are family, and they know that Luke doesn't like crowds, so they accompanied Luke all the way to the door. After hugging each other, they watched Luke get into their black Audi A8 parked at the door.

The A8 roared.

in a blink.

Luke then drove away from the neighborhood.

Brian stared at Luke's disappearing taillights, then seemed to remember something and looked at Mia beside him, saying, "What do you think about me making a call to report Luke for drunk driving?"

Mia glanced at Brian and smiled, "In San Lodoss, no, in California, I doubt any patrol officer would be foolish enough to stop Luke's car."

Even if American-style interception is unparalleled, it still needs to follow some basic rules.

Brian shrugged: "I was just saying."

His words seemed to have made things clear, as Tang, who was holding Letty beside him, seemed to have realized something.

Tang's smile faded, and he looked at Brian, saying in a deep voice, "Brian, you and I need to have a serious talk, like about your flying car story in Myrme."

Brian's body stiffened, and he looked at Mia.

Thick and greasy, shit!

Did you tell Tang?

Mia shrugged and gave Brian an apologetic look.

Tang is her brother.

When she's unhappy, she'll definitely complain to her brother. That's normal; every younger sister does that.

After leaving No. 1327, Lu Ke drove straight to the charity cocktail party being held in the conference room of a high-end hotel in the city center.

When he entered the venue, the first thing he saw was Rachel, dressed in a white dress and wearing two sparkling earrings, standing not far away, chatting and laughing with an Eastern couple in front of her.

Rachel's eyes lit up when she saw Luke walking over. After hugging Luke, she introduced the couple who were chatting.

“Lu Ke, this is Ambassador Han from the East Korean Embassy and Consulate, and this is his wife.”

"Ambassador Han, hello."

Luke smiled and reached out to shake hands with Ambassador Han, speaking in fluent and pure Dongguo dialect.

His identity has been cleared, so he no longer needs to worry about not being able to enter the embassy or consulate, unlike last year.

Luke, who is currently in the Federation, is a native of the Federation. As for why he looks somewhat like Runwu from the East, that's another story.

With so many people in Dongguo, it's quite normal for one or two people to look alike to occasionally pop up.

and……

A mere drizzle, its influence reaching the federal government, and suddenly he became the Assistant Director of Operations at the FBI—if this were told, probably no one would believe it.

After Ambassador Han shook hands with Lu Ke, he was clearly surprised to hear Lu Ke speak fluent Dongguo dialect.

"Director Dan's Dongguo dialect is so fluent."

"It's all thanks to my mother."

Luke attributed all of this to his biological mother, whom he had never met.

"Although she passed away early, she told me that even though I was born in the Federation, I must not forget where my roots are."

“Your mother is great, Director Dan.”

"Thank you."

Lu Ke said thank you.

Rachel, who was standing nearby, said, "Lucy, Mrs. Han just invited us to the embassy's annual gala at the end of this year. Are you free then?"

“Of course I’m free.” Lu Ke was pleasantly surprised and looked at Ambassador Han again: “Even if he’s not free on that day, I will make sure he is.”

Ambassador Han smiled and said, "It's wonderful that Director Dan can attend."

Make a lot of friends.

This is one of the reasons why embassies and consulates exist.

You can make connections with the local FBI Operations Assistant Director and even invite them to embassy/consulate receptions.

what is this.

These are the results.

Luke smiled and said, "It's my honor."

This is why Rachel said it would be best if he showed up at least once.

His purpose in coming here was to get to know Ambassador Han.

Although Luke hasn't decided whether to go to S.H.I.E.L.D., it's always better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.

Luke didn't make a big fuss. After exchanging a few words with Ambassador Han, he and Rachel went to find the organizers of tonight's reception, the mayor and his wife.

By the time the party ended, it was almost 2:30 a.m.

After Luke got into the car with Rachel, he glanced at the time on his watch and suddenly had a rather unpleasant feeling.

There's an old saying that goes something like this.

correct.

Luke's eyes lit up, and he looked at Rachel beside him, his tone serious and earnest.

"If someone isn't home by 2:30 in the morning, it's definitely not a good sign."

Is this a proverb from Eastern culture?

Sitting in the passenger seat, Rachel chuckled at Luke's somewhat superstitious words, saying, "In Los Santos bars, plenty of people stay out all night."

Luke shrugged: "So, these guys have the highest probability of dying, don't they?"

Rachel opened her mouth, but couldn't find any point to refute it.

Because that's the truth.

Last month, the Los Angeles Police Department released its annual report on the types of fatal cases.

In Los Santos this year, excluding accidental deaths, the number of people who died under abnormal circumstances is approximately 650.

On average, that's two people every day who die violently due to robbery, shooting, revenge killings, or crimes of passion.

Of these, more than 300 people died as a result of robbery.

In other words.

Almost every day, someone dies as a result of being robbed.

And of these victims, most of them died in the middle of the night.

Well known.

In the Federation, day and night are two different worlds. If you're still out and about at 8 p.m., your chances of dying increase to 30 percent, let alone in the early morning.

Let's say that.

In the federal government, if someone is still out and about at 2:30 a.m. and hasn't gone home yet, the probability of them dying will surge to 70%.

"wrong."

"Why is that wrong?"

Rachel shook her head, looking out the windshield at the deserted streets, almost pitch black due to energy conservation and environmental protection. She turned her head to look at Luke, who was focused on driving: "In Los Santos, even the dumbest petty thief knows who owns this car. They wouldn't be so blind."

That battle on CBS was broadcast live, and it was even considered Luke's breakthrough match.

This battle directly cemented Luxie Coast's reputation as a superhero.
