A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Rachel finished her live debut for the night, still thinking about the news she had received earlier about Luke and Pierce's falling out, and rushed home.

I just stepped out of the garage.

boom!

The portable fireworks exploded instantly, and with Rachel's exclamation, confetti rained down from above.

Luke and Lorna, each holding a newly lit sparkler, lined up to welcome Rachel, whose debut was a resounding success.

Lorna went up and hugged Rachel.

"Sister-in-law, you looked amazing during the live stream."

"Thank you."

Rachel hugged Lorna, listened to the latter's praise, thanked her, and then smiled at Luke, who was standing behind her in his pajamas: "Is this a reward for me?"

Lorna coughed, released Rachel, and walked towards the second-floor staircase without looking back.

"I don't think I can participate in what follows. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight."

Goodnight, Lorna.

Rachel said to Lorna, who had already gone up the stairs, and after Lorna went up to the second floor, she put down her bag and opened her arms to Luke: "I've been busy all day and I'm exhausted. I don't even have the energy to take a shower. I wonder if my fiancé would be willing to help me?"

Luke reached out and took Rachel, who seemed to have no strength left to throw herself into his arms, and said with a smile, "What would happen if I said I didn't want to?"

Rachel looked up, her eyes filled with affection.

"Well, someone will have to sleep on the sofa alone tonight."

"..."

Luke definitely didn't want to sleep on the sofa, so, under Rachel's oppressive power, he had no choice but to give in and temporarily take on the job of a bathhouse attendant.

During the process of him scrubbing the body, the employer probably felt that he did a good job and worked very hard, so he gave him a couple of treats.

Two hours later.

After using up about two baths of water, Luke carried Rachel, whose face was flushed pink, probably because the bath water was a bit too hot, out of the bathroom and then put the princess in his arms into the fragrant bed.

Another hour of playful banter ensued.

Rachel, who always checks Luke's homework every night to make sure he's done everything perfectly, stirred in bed after Luke handed in a perfect score. She pulled the blanket over herself, wrapped herself in her warm clothes, grabbed a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and then looked at Luke, who was looking at his phone.

"What are you looking at?"

"The weather tomorrow morning."

Luke turned off his phone and put it aside, then said to Rachel, "I have a golf appointment with the District Attorney's supervisor tomorrow morning."

Rachel's mind quickly conjured up the image and name of the district attorney general: "Mass, is it to secure this case as quickly as possible?"

Lu Ke nodded: "Although the suspect is dead, the necessary procedures still need to be followed."

The FBI's findings are just that—investigative results. Only after a visit to the District Attorney's office can these findings become the case's outcome.

Do you need me to come with you tomorrow morning?

"Need not."

Lu Ke shook his head: "I've brought Pan Ning along."

Rachel nodded upon hearing this: "Alright, if Pan Ning goes, I won't go."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

If only Lu Ke goes tomorrow, then this matter will be solely Lu Ke's responsibility.

So she plans to go with Lu Ke tomorrow.

But if Pan Ning goes there tomorrow, it means that this is not just Luke's problem, but the FBI's Los Angeles field office's problem.

Since it's official business, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go tomorrow.

but……

Rachel looked at Luke with some curiosity: "If you and Alexander have a pretty good relationship, how come there are rumors today that you and Alexander had a big fight, and then, someone is saying... what was it again?"

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"what?"

"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

Rachel frowned, recalling the gossip that had recently reached the television station, then looked at Luke: "By the way, someone also said that you were standing by the French windows and said something to Alexander that seemed to make Alexander's face turn red with anger?"

Upon hearing this, Luke thought seriously about some of the things he had said when he argued with Alexander.

next second.

Luke looked at Rachel: "If a young person isn't arrogant, what kind of young person is he?"

Rachel shook her head: "No, it seems like there's some kind of ice or something."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"I see."

"what?"

"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice. Do you think I'll fall this time?"

Luke repeated what he had said to Alexander, then recalled, "You know what, after I said that, his face did turn noticeably red."

The argument was obviously fake.

but……

I did blush.

Alexander probably thought his words were too pretentious, so he got angry and turned red.

However, he didn't mean to say that.

It was mainly because of the conversation that things got so heated. When Alexander told him to be careful not to fall, that sentence suddenly popped into his head.

and……

Lu Ke felt that this sentence suited him quite well.

He's been here for two years, and it's been like walking on thin ice. Now, he's finally managed to develop a tiny bit of self-protection ability.

Even in the God Realm, one feels as if walking on thin ice.

no way.

Knowing full well that he wasn't the main character, if he wasn't careful, he might not even know how he died.

Luke recalled Alexander's expression at the time and couldn't help but shake his head.

Looking at the expression on Luke's face, Rachel adjusted her sexy body in bed, wrapping her arms around Luke's legs like an octopus. Then she leaned closer to Luke, blinking her eyes: "So, you really did have a fight with Alexander?"

Luke smiled as he watched Rachel cling to him like a koala.

"you guess."

"..."

Rachel raised an eyebrow as she looked at the smile on Luke's face.

"you……"

"Woo!"

Luke lowered his head, silencing Rachel: "It's getting dark, time to sleep."

Rachel: "..."

He didn't want Rachel to come into contact with something as negative as Hydra, but he also didn't want Rachel to worry about him.

After all, in everyone's mind, offending a member of the Federal Council is basically like having to go to the toilet with a lantern.

But Rachel is a smart woman.

She is the epitome of beauty and virtue.

the next day.

On a golf course.

Luke, Penning, and the District Attorney’s Office supervisor, Mas, were sitting on lounge chairs under a parasol, chatting and laughing.

The torrential rain last night came quickly and went quickly.

The rain stopped and the sun came out overnight.

Luke looked up at the blue sky and white clouds above, smiled, and said to Pan Ning and Mas, "The air after a rainstorm smells especially sweet."

Pan Ning laughed and said, "Although the air smells sweet after a downpour, to be honest, I don't really like downpours. What do you think, Mas?"

Mas reached out and took the bottled water from the lounge table. After taking a sip, he looked at Luke and Pan Ning and said with a smile, "I'm getting old. I prefer more stable weather."

Lu Ke crossed his legs and said with a smile, "I checked the weather forecast. It's just one rainstorm, and the weather afterwards seems to be mostly sunny with pleasant temperatures."

Mas was a little happy: "Really? The next few days will be sunny? That's great! In a few days, I can go surfing at the beach again. By the way, Luke, maybe we can go together in a few days?"

"Okay."

Lu Ke smiled and looked at Pan Ning: "Are you free? Let's go together sometime?"

Pan Ning also laughed and said, "Two to zero. If I object, do you have time?"

Luke and Mas exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

After half an hour.

After a quick round of golf, the three agreed to go surfing together in a few days, then parted ways in the parking lot with their respective gear.

After watching Musk drive away, Luke and Pan Ning turned around and went back to their black Audi A8. They opened the trunk and threw in a golf set that Rachel had bought for about $100,000.

ignition.

After buckling his seatbelt, Pan Ning said to Lu Ke, "The District Attorney's office is all set."
