Even if something is true, that's a future matter. We can talk about it in the future; there's no need to bring it up now.
Because future troubles are Luke's future troubles, not Luke's current problems.
Lu Ke watched as Rachel gasped in surprise after he finished speaking, but quickly recovered, covered her mouth with both hands, and stared wide-eyed with a uniquely charming expression. He couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Rachel also recovered from her shock.
"Are there really demons and aliens?"
"of course."
"have you seen?"
"No."
"Is it recorded in the top-secret FBI files?"
"nor."
Rachel rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "You're so sure about it, as if you've seen it with your own eyes."
Luke shrugged: "I haven't seen it, but I just know that, and I reckon that in a year or two, aliens will be coming to New York City."
Rachel was slightly taken aback.
New York City?
"Correct."
Next month will be December, and after December, it will be 2011. The Chitauri people should be getting through 2012.
and so.
almost.
In another year or two, the people of Earth will truly know that they are not alone in the universe.
Rachel blinked, looking at Luke who spoke with such certainty: "Are you really that sure?"
Luke smiled and finished the last bit of his bedtime bourbon in his glass. He looked at Rachel and said, "Darling, have you forgotten that my ancestral home is in the East?"
Well known.
In the Western perception, people from a mysterious great country in the East are always believed to possess mystical powers.
For example, people from the East can curse others by drawing pictures in the air with their fingers.
For example, people from the East can use black magic. They can communicate with the dead and often say that a certain spirit appeared to them in a dream, telling them what they lacked in the underworld.
For example, people from the East might even make predictions, because they often say things like, "It will rain tomorrow, so it's not a good time to go out."
What is this if not a prophecy?
Although Rachel is a highly educated intellectual, the mystical can never be explained by science.
Luke remembered that when he first got together with Rachel, their conversations after exercising revolved around the mystical aspects of the Eastern Kingdom.
As Rachel listened to Luke talk about his ancestral home, she blinked again before decisively changing the subject, looking at Luke and saying, "By the way, should I ask for leave these few days, and also ask for leave for Lorna?"
Lu Ke, who was about to go back to his bedroom to take a shower, was slightly taken aback.
"Are you taking leave? Why?"
"About tonight."
Rachel walked upstairs with Luke and asked with some concern, "Didn't you say they had accomplices? That they came for you, to get revenge? They know they failed tonight, so they'll definitely think of other ways, won't they?"
If the other party feels they can't harm Lu Ke, they might try other methods.
such as……
They kidnapped her and Lorna to threaten Luke into submission.
Didn't Chen Huaxing do the same thing last time?
With Lu Ke's strong sense of justice, he'll surely fall into their trap.
This kind of thing must not happen.
Rachel said, "Anyway, it's almost the end of the year, and the company is looking for stability, so it doesn't matter if I take leave, and neither does Lorna's school."
Lu Ke thought for a moment.
"Need not."
"you sure?"
"Ah."
Luke nodded, looked at Rachel, and smiled, "They won't be a problem tomorrow, but if you're worried, you can take a couple of days off."
Hela has already shared her memories of the bearded man with him.
The bearded man already had a plan in mind for where he would stay after arriving in Los Angeles.
Luke planned to take a nap, and tomorrow the army would be on the border, so he would just go straight for A.
but……
Rachel's concerns were not without merit.
……

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can be seen.
A person's work style may reflect the work style of the organization behind that person.
but……
Since it has happened once, we must be prepared.
Chen Huaxing kidnapped hostages to threaten him; who knows if the others in the Ten Commandments Gang will follow suit?
So Rachel's suggestion does make some sense.
Just in case, it would be better for Rachel to stay home with Lorna, who is on leave, until this matter is resolved.
the next day.
The leader and deputy leader of the third action team arrived at Luke's residence with their agents.
"Director."
"Ah."
Luke nodded, turned around and took the wool coat Rachel handed him, kissed it, and said, "I'll take care of this as soon as possible."
Rachel smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."
Luke hummed in agreement, then looked at Lorna, who seemed quite happy to have been asked to stay home today: "Study hard at home."
Lorna beamed, "Okay, brother."
Luke shook his head and smiled, put on his coat, turned around, and left the house behind him.
Outside the house, two armed detectives wearing sunglasses and suits stood like guardian deities at the door.
If the Ten Rings really come knocking, the federal agents here might not be able to stop them.
But that was enough to last until he arrived.
Lu Ke walked straight to the side of the road, opened the back seat of the car parked in front of him, and got in.
Jack, who was already waiting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Luke as he got in.
"Boss, where are we going?"
Santa Monica Pier.
The bearded man's memory told him clearly that the remaining fifteen members of the Ten Rings gang who had come this time were staying at a hotel near the Santa Monica pier.
After half an hour.
An unremarkable black sedan was parked on the road opposite the hotel.
A blonde woman with a bag slung over her shoulder and chewing gum, standing not far away, quickly walked to the car, opened the door, and got in.
"old……"
After the blonde woman closed the car door, she was about to report the investigation results to her boss, Jack, when she froze upon seeing Luke already sitting in the back seat: "Chief!"
Jack, in the passenger seat, immediately called out to his soul.
"Amy."
"..."
Amy snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, and said, "They're staying in the three presidential suites on the top floor, but only one of them is occupied. There are five people in one of them, of all skin colors, and they have guns."
Jack frowned: "Only one room is occupied?"
Amy nodded: "Yes, I asked the hotel. The other ten people went out yesterday at noon and haven't come back yet."
Jack looked at Luke: "Boss, should we wait?"
Luke peered through the window at the hotel's top-floor room, his eyes gleaming.
"Need not."
“Call Hongdo.”
"it is good."
He went out yesterday, and if nothing unexpected happens, he probably went to see that South American drug lord, Baraka Debour.
Leaving aside whether they will come back, it's likely that once news of their colleague's death last night reaches them, the remaining five people in the hotel will all run away.
There's no need to wait any longer.
ten minutes later.
Hong Duo, who had received a call from Lu Ke early this morning and was always ready to go, led his special police officers in an ordinary-looking van and drove straight into the hotel's underground parking lot.
"Dong dong!"
