American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

"If all else fails, we should target Africa, since the number of enslaved Africans there is enormous!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Upon hearing Ophelia's words, her subordinates nodded very respectfully.

Eastern Europe, Sokovia!

"We have nowhere else to go!"

After finishing his bread, Pietro sat on the bench and said to Wanda beside him, "Baron Strucker had his neck snapped by that guy in the green cloak, and he wiped out all the Hydra soldiers."

"And he's already destroyed the castle; we're homeless again!"

Upon hearing Pietro's words, Wanda tore a strip of bread from her bread and put it in her mouth.

After thinking for a few seconds, Wanda suddenly said, "Actually, we do have somewhere to go!"

"Pietro, do you remember Lynn Hall?"

"Of course I remember!"

Hearing Wanda say this, Pietro remembered: "When he came to Sokovia, Baron Strucker had us host him. He even tried to persuade us to break away from Hydra."

"And before he left, he gave us his business card, saying that if we ever had nowhere to go, we should come to New York to find him!"

At this point, Pietro shrugged: "But I have no idea where I lost that business card!"

Seeing Pietro's somewhat annoyed expression, Wanda smiled and took out Lynn Hall's business card from her pocket.

"You still kept it?"

Looking at the business card in Wanda's hand, Pietro asked in surprise.

"certainly!"

Wanda took the business card back and said, "Besides, it wouldn't be entirely useless for us to go and seek refuge with him now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a crimson light flashed in Wanda's eyes!

Inside the Staten Island Cube prison in New York.

"Ha, what else is there to say?"

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Alexander Pierce sat down and said, "Didn't Lynn Hall already take the list? Just arrest the people on the list!"

"It's a pity I was blind back then and didn't see your true colors, otherwise..."

Seeing Pierce staring at Lynn with hatred in his eyes, Jeff Russell said, "Since you have nothing to say, then enjoy your remaining time in prison."

.

After saying that, Jeff Russell got up and left.

Before leaving the prison, Lynn looked at Pierce and a glint of light flashed in his eyes, then he turned and left.

Inside the corridor.

"Lynn, how are the arrangements for the press conference going?"

In response to Jeff Russell's question, Lynn smiled and said, "Everything is arranged, Minister."

Three days later, major media outlets from across the United States will gather at the FBI headquarters in New York for a press conference.

"And our people were involved too!"

Hearing Lynn's reply, Jeff Russell nodded in satisfaction and said, "New York is your territory, so I naturally trust your arrangements."

"Ever since Duke arrested Hydra agents hiding in the political and business worlds, the whole country has been discussing the details."

"After this press conference, the eyes of the entire world will likely be on us!"

Seeing Jeff Russell's感慨 (expressed with emotion), Lynn laughed and said, "Minister, actually this is a good thing. At least compared to other countries, we are the first to discover and successfully eliminate Hydra!"

"According to the list, Hydra has infiltrated the political arenas of most European and American countries, including Britain, France, Germany, and Denmark."

"And they don't know these secrets yet, so we can definitely use this list to do some things."

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Jeff Russell smiled and nodded.

Back at the hotel, Jeff Russell kept saying how regrettable it was.

Seeing the Attorney General's expression, James Duke poured two glasses of wine, then handed one to Jeff Russell and said with a smile, "Secretary, what are you regretting?"

Taking the document from Duke, Jeff Russell said, "I regret that Lynn isn't my child. Otherwise, the Russell family wouldn't be without someone capable of shouldering the family's responsibilities!"

"If it were just that, it would be fine, but my youngest daughter is almost forty years old, and my granddaughter is only thirteen."

"Otherwise, if Lynn could become a member of the Russell family..."

The conversation didn't continue, but James Duke saw a deep sense of regret in the Attorney General's eyes.

"Who can argue with that?"

Smiling, James Duke clinked glasses with Russell and said, "Secretary, don't forget, I was the first person to truly understand Lynn's abilities."

"If I had a daughter, I would have married her to him long ago!"

Upon hearing Duke's words, Jeff Russell chuckled.

That's true. It's fair to say that James Duke watched Lynn rise from a regular agent to become a member of the New York FBI.

The branch bureau chief's man.

Moreover, given Lynn's current age and abilities, he'll probably be able to join the FBI before he's even forty.

The position of bureau chief.

Unfortunately, Duke could only watch helplessly as such a man found no daughter to marry.

Thinking about this, Jeff Russell suddenly felt much more at peace.

After taking a sip of their drink, Russell and Duke started talking about the press conference three days later!

This time, they are prepared to expose Hydra's conspiracy and make it clear to the world that the FBI...

Just how amazing is it!

At the same time, inside a restaurant in Manhattan.

"You came to see me just for this purpose?"

Looking at her biological father, Polaris Lorna said, "I don't care about being a princess in some mutant kingdom."

"Compared to this, I prefer the title 'Illuminati - North Star,' and I also prefer the identity of a member of the New York FBI!"

"Therefore, I will not go to the mutant kingdom with you!"

Hearing Lorna's unequivocal rejection, Magneto sighed and said, "Lorna, my daughter, I know you still resent me, but for the future of mutants..."

"That's your ideal, not mine. And likewise, I don't need you to feel any guilt or desire to make amends."

At this point, Lorna stood up and said, "I love being with Lynn. It's the happiest time I've ever had, so no one can take me away from Lynn."

Seeing Lorna preparing to leave, Magneto said, "You should know that Lynn has a girlfriend!"

"So what?"

Lorna Dayne glanced at Magneto and said, "I've been with Lynn since I was 14, and over the years I've known exactly what I want!"

"As long as he needs me and approves of me, I will stay by his side."

"Even if you are my biological father, you can't take me away from Lynn!"

After saying that, Polaris turned and left without hesitation.

Magneto sighed as he watched his daughter leave.

Not far away, after watching Polaris leave, a middle-aged man walked over and sat down opposite him:

It seems this conversation didn't go well!

"I need to do something..."

"This is none of your business!"

Looking at the middle-aged man before him, Magneto said, "Since Lorna finds it enjoyable to be with Lynn, then let's leave it at that for now."

"Now, establishing a nation that belongs to us mutants is the most important thing!"

"We can't let this situation, which Raven worked so hard to create, slip away. Go talk to Raven about the next steps!"

"OK!"

Upon hearing Magneto's instructions, the middle-aged man nodded.

He got up, ready to leave, but then suddenly turned back and said, "Are you sure you don't need my help?"

"Don't cause trouble. I don't want Lorna to hate me, and I especially don't want Lynn Hall to target us. It won't help us build our own kingdom!"

"All right!"

The middle-aged man shrugged and turned to leave.

After the guy left, Magneto sighed, then took out his phone and dialed Professor X!

Three days later, at the New York airport!

"Actually, we didn't have to fly here at all. Just buying this plane ticket wasted more than a day of our time. You know, at my speed, I could have..."

"Shut up!"

Before Pietro could finish speaking, Wanda interrupted, "Don't forget that guy in the green cape is still looking for us!"

"Although, we owe a great deal to him to have mastered this ability!"

As she spoke, Wanda took out her phone and dialed Lynn's number.

You should know that Wanda had already memorized that number!

Inside the FBI headquarters in New York.

Watching Jeff Russell speak confidently in front of hundreds of media cameras on stage, Tony Stark, sitting next to Lynn, said, "This is New York, your home turf. Now this old guy is stealing the spotlight."

"If I were you, I would definitely go up and snatch the microphone, then throw him out of this building."

Responding to Tony, Lynn laughed and said, "If you think he's too long-winded, just go up and snatch the microphone away. Don't worry, the Illuminati and the Avengers are your strongest backers!"

"Pfft... never mind then. I'm afraid I'll get arrested before I even get a chance to make a move!"

At this point, Tony Stark glanced around: "This time it's quite a big operation; even media from European countries are here!"

"It must have been obtained by this Minister of Justice!"

"Um!"

Lynn's expression remained fixed on the Attorney General making the announcement on stage. Though his mouth remained still, his voice reached Tony's ears: "According to Pierce's list, Hydra is also among the high-ranking officials in these countries."

"And this list is currently in the hands of the US government, so I don't need to tell you what will happen next!"

"That's why I hate politics. If you hadn't invited me, I'd rather be in Washington right now, attending that hearing about Nick Fury!"

At this point, Tony's phone vibrated. He then took it out and said, "I'm curious to see how Nick Fury will behave at the hearing, but I don't think Steve will side with him. After all, when you said you'd wipe out S.H.I.E.L.D. as well, Steve agreed!"

He was only halfway through his sentence when Tony Stark frowned upon seeing the message on his phone: "Lynn, news from the Cube: Alexander Pierce is dead!"

"Um?"

Turning to look at Tony, Lynn frowned and asked, "Dead?"

"Yes, according to Friday's surveillance footage, Alexander Pierce committed suicide in prison!"

"And before committing suicide, to avoid being discovered, he pretended to be unwell, lay on the bed with his back to the surveillance camera, and then unhesitatingly pierced his heart with a sharpened toothbrush!"

"Looks like next time we'll have to replace all the toothbrushes in the cube prison with soft-handled ones!"

Hearing Tony say this, Lynn laughed and said, "So what if he's dead? It's normal for someone who has been in a high position for years to become a prisoner in just a few days, unable to accept such a fall from grace, to choose to end his own life!"

Just then, Lynn's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that the caller ID was an unfamiliar number, Lynn was about to get up and answer it when she heard Tony Stark say, "You'd better hurry up, it'll be your turn to speak soon according to the schedule!"

Upon hearing Tony's reminder, Lynn nodded and then walked aside to answer the phone.

"Mr. Hall? I am Wanda Django Maximov. I wonder if you remember me? We met in Sokovia!"

Hearing Wanda's voice on the other end of the phone, Lynn was slightly surprised, but quickly laughed and said, "Of course I remember, you have an older brother named Pietro, right!"

Lynn could never forget the twins, Wanda and the others, and when he met them in Sokovia, he specifically tried to persuade them to leave Hydra.

The purpose is to make plans for the future.

To my surprise, they actually called me from the number I gave them!

But why did the Avengers contact us before they even took action against the Hydra base in Sokovia?

Inside the beverage shop.

Hearing that Lynn still remembered her, Wanda smiled. "Well, Mr. Hall, Pietro and I have arrived in New York, and... umm, okay, no problem, we'll wait for you here!"

After hanging up the phone, Wanda looked at Pietro and said, "I knew Lynn Hall remembered us!"

Seeing that Pietro didn't answer her but instead stared intently at the screen in the beverage shop, Wanda also curiously turned her gaze to the screen.

At this moment, a video of Jeff Russell announcing the elimination of Hydra is playing on the screen.

After Jeff Russell finished speaking, Lynn went on stage to recount how he destroyed Hydra.

After listening for a while, Pietro finally frowned and said, "So, it was Lynn Hall who led the Illuminati and the Avengers to destroy Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"Damn it, isn't he also a member of Hydra? And Wanda, our identities... what if he comes to arrest us?"

7

Neither Jeff Russell nor Lynn disclosed their undercover work with Hydra to the media.

It's just that after Lynn and Duke discovered Hydra's trail, they investigated for several years and then wiped them out in one fell swoop!

Hearing Pietro's concerns, Wanda lowered her head and drank her juice, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Lynn, who was being questioned by a reporter on the screen.

He then said softly, "I can sense that Lynn is different from the other Hydra members. He's a good person, so I'm willing to believe him!"

At this point, Wanda looked at Pietro and said, "Besides, since we've come to seek refuge with Lynn, we should trust him!"

Hearing Wanda say this, Pietro nodded slightly: "Okay, but after we meet in a bit..."

If he's planning to arrest us, then I'll just take you away from here.

"And also... Tony Stark is a member of the Illuminati, and also a member of the Avengers."

He killed our parents!

"Of course I haven't forgotten that!"

Looking up at Pietro, Wanda said, "Only by coming to New York will we have a chance for revenge."

Let's wait patiently for the right opportunity!

After hearing Wanda say that, Pietro finally nodded!

Inside the Federal Building in New York.

After finishing the interview and stepping off the stage, Lynn looked at Barbara and asked, "Haven't we heard anything from Washington yet?"

Not yet!

After helping Lynn straighten his clothes, Barbara replied, "Although Captain Rogers and Ms. Natasha attended the hearing about Nick Fury together, Ms. Natasha has not yet sent any news because the hearing was conducted in secret."

"Boss, is S.H.I.E.L.D. really going to be disbanded by the World Security Council?"

It's not clear yet.

Lynn untied his tie and tossed it to Barbara, saying as he walked out, "It all depends on the outcome of this hearing!"

"However, I suspect that S.H.I.E.L.D. won't be disbanded so easily. The most likely scenario is that Nick Fury will 'resign' as director."

After saying that, Lynn drove away from the FBI headquarters in New York!

Inside the cold drink shop.

"Why are you so wary of me?"

Seeing a hint of wariness in Pietro's eyes, Lynn chuckled, "Is it because I destroyed Hydra, led by Alexander Pierce, that you're worried I'll harm you and your sister?"

Hearing Lynn expose his inner thoughts, Pietro scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:

I am indeed somewhat worried, after all...

"I understand. If our roles were reversed, I would also be a little worried!"

"Besides, I know you're not worried about yourself, but about Wanda."

Seeing that Lynn understood his thoughts, Pietro nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, my liking for Lynn increased a little.

After having a few drinks brought over, Lynn smiled and asked the two, "Can you tell me what happened to you in Sokovia?"

"Baron Strucker's base was destroyed by a guy in a green cloak, who also stole the Mind Scepter."

When Lynn asked her what had happened, Wanda told him the whole story.

Listening to Wanda's account, Lynn understood what had happened.

At the same time that the Illuminati and the Avengers joined forces, Doctor Doom, Victor Doom, attacked the Hydra base in Sokovia, stole the Mind Scepter, and killed Baron Strucker.

Not only that, he also used magic to help Wanda and Pietro successfully control the abilities "activated" by the Mind Scepter.

However, when Doctor Doom tried to take them away, the two of them ran away!

With the Sokovia Hydra base destroyed, the twins had nowhere to go, so they came directly to him for help.

After listening to their stories, Lynn nodded.

"Since you have nowhere else to go and have broken away from Hydra, then stay in New York!"

Looking at the two of them, Lynn smiled and said, "If you'd like, you can join the FBI!"

"May I?"

Hearing Lynn say this, Wanda asked with some surprise, "After all, we're not Americans, and we..."

"Of course, after all, the person sitting in front of you is the director of the FBI field office in New York."

Lynn's smile was very approachable, which gradually put the two of them at ease.

Although they initially chose to side with Lynn, they were not entirely certain that Lynn would accept them.

To my surprise, Lynn was exactly the same as he was back in Sokovia!

After hesitating for a moment while sipping her cold drink, Wanda finally asked the question that had been bothering her: "Lynn, weren't you also part of the organization? Why did you destroy it?"

"That's a long story!"

Watching Wanda and Pietro finish their cold drinks, Lynn said, "Come back to the FBI in New York with me. I'll get your onboarding done, and I'll tell you about this on the way!"

Hearing Lynn say this, Wanda and Pietro exchanged a glance, then got up and left with Lynn.

Along the way, Lynn recounted his identity as an undercover agent for Hydra.

The two then realized what was going on.

No wonder when he met the two of them in Sokovia, after learning about their backgrounds and ages, he persuaded them to leave Hydra.

Now, everything makes sense!

Just as I sensed, Lynn was indeed a very good person!

Seeing Wanda's smile, Lynn called the waiter to pay the bill.

In just a few words, Wanda's favorability rating increased by two points. It seems that even without Hydra's protection, Wanda and Pietro can easily gain favorability!

You know, from the very first time we met, I was extremely envious of Wanda's chaos magic and Pietro's super speed.

Unfortunately, they hadn't awakened their abilities back then. Now that they've come to him willingly, Lynn isn't going to let them slip away.

Upon arriving at the building, Lynn gestured for Wanda and Pietro, who were following closely behind him, to relax.

Then, after waving her hand, Lynn asked Joey to come over and help Wanda and Pietro with their onboarding.

Meanwhile, Lynn arranged for the two people to stay downstairs from his residence.

After all, the money Lynn made from Hydra over the years was enough to buy the floor below his Central Park penthouse.

Inside the office.

"Lynn, where did you get these twins from again?"

As Joey led the twins to complete their onboarding procedures, Jessica walked in and asked curiously.

"Sokova, I value these twins highly, so I plan to keep them with me!"

"I can tell you value that girl named Wanda a lot!"

Sitting on Lynn's lap, Jessica laughed, "Pfft, you're pretty, have a great figure, and most importantly, those legs are totally your type. It won't be long before you're in bed with me!"

Listening to Jessica's words, Lynn pinched her pert bottom and said, "Don't underestimate them, they're much more capable than you think!"
