The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

Chapter 176: Lake's job

the next day.

As Lake wiped the water droplets from his hair, he walked down the stairs and greeted Skye who was opening the takeaway box at the bar.

Skye looked up and turned back.

Lake walked over and sat on a high stool: "What to eat?"

Skye smiled mysteriously and took out the takeaway box...

Two cups of soy milk.

Two fried dough sticks.

Two hemp balls.

...What the hell?

Lake looked at this early breakfast, which was very characteristic of a certain country, blinked, and looked at Skye: "Wait, how long did I sleep?"

Skye was a little curious: "What do you mean."

Lake pointed to the breakfast on the bar: "Where did this come from."

"Downstairs."

Skye threw the box into the trash can next to him and said: "It's at the intersection of this street. It used to sell pizza. When I ran back with Alexis this morning, it became This one, Alexis is the same as I bought."

Lake grabbed a cup of soy milk and took a sip.

taste……

It can not be said that it is the taste in memory, but it is not too far different, and it belongs to the category that is barely acceptable.

But Skye?

After Skye took a sip, his expression instantly became weird, and he retched twice, looking at the soy milk: "What the hell, what kind of drink is this, it tastes so..."

Lake laughed and said, "There is sugar in the kitchen, so add more and have a drink."

Skye looked up suspiciously: "Have you ever had it?"

Lake shrugged, and then curiously said: "You haven't drunk it, why do you remember eating this today?"

Skye shrugged: "I don't know, maybe, because I have half the blood of the East, I think this is my food, and I haven't eaten it, so I bought it and tasted it?"

Lake nodded.

This reason is unassailable.

after awhile.

Skye took a sip of the soy milk with five spoons of sugar, his eyes brightened, and he looked at Lake: "I can drink this time."

Lake smiled: "Don't drink if you don't like it, so what do you do? We don't lack the money for a cup of soy milk."

Skye lowered his head and drank soy milk with five spoons of sugar in his cup, without speaking.

Lake didn't say any more.

Skye's thoughts are easy to guess. Only those who are really hungry know the preciousness of food, and there are only such people, even if they don't suit their appetite, they will not throw it away.

This is a good quality.

"correct."

Skye bit the hemp ball that Lake had let out, and said to Lake, who had already extended his claws to the wine cabinet, "Aren't you calling your friend?"

Lake was taken aback for a moment.

Skye shrugged: "That's it, the friend you chatted with Kassel after getting drunk last night, said yes, give your friend a call to see if there is any advanced technology or the like."

Lake raised his eyebrows.

The memory of drinking last night was retransmitted into my mind. It seems that after drinking the third bottle of wine, both Lake and Kassel talked to Owen, trying to find a way to see if there is any way for the resources of the two. Find a pharmaceutical company or something that is researching a specific medicine.

After Lake remembered it, he said thank you to Skye, locked the wine cabinet again, and walked toward the door: "I'm going to work, remember to call if you have anything to do."

Skye said hello to Lake, who was holding his coat and went out. Then, he resolved the numb ball in his hand three times and five times, then quickly cleaned up and prepared to return to his room.

A few days ago, she found a teacher on the Internet who was very skilled and willing to teach her computer skills for free.

New York State Building.

Lake's official position was promoted, and naturally, the location of the office also changed.

"Sir."

"Happy new year, Tiffany."

After Lake and Tiffany, who was also a student from Yale and his assistant, said hello, they walked into their office, turned on the computer and took out the satellite phone sold by Continental Hotel from it, and dialed the old man directly. Call of friend Liszt.

"Happy new year, Mr. Liszt."

"...Happy new year, Mr. Black King."

After Lake and Liszt exchanged good wishes, they said straightforwardly: "That's it, Mr. Liszt, I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with lung tumors. I ask if there are any. The means of treatment, then, I thought of Mr. Liszt’s organization for the first time on this side."

friend?

Liszt was a little confused: "Mr. Black King, I think this matter is not difficult for you."

You are the king of the immortal royal family. The immortal queen gave birth to two children for you. You are immortal, and even a mere lung cancer can be you?

Lake smiled and said: "Mr. Liszt, my friend is a close friend, and there is still a gap in vision. This is the last resort, but it is not a necessary method."

Liszt knew: "Okay, Mr. Black King, let me inquire, as soon as I have news, I will tell you immediately, okay?"

Lake said thank you.

hang up the phone.

It's not that Lake doesn't treat Kassel and Owen as true friends, but sometimes it's not a good thing to lead them into a world they are not familiar with.

As Lake just said, it is a once and for all way to directly turn them into blood clan, but it is not the only choice. At the very least, can the feelings be so simple and unpretentious to lead them into another world?

after awhile.

Assistant Tiffany knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, it's time for the meeting."

Lake nodded, got up and left the office.

Operation center.

When Lake and assistant Tiffany walked in, the director of the New York State Department of Homeland Security and his assistant had already arrived. After seeing Lake coming in, they nodded and said, "Go ahead."

The land agent sitting at the console directly connected to Langley's side. The big screen was lit up instantly, but the back of the big screen was not the Langley headquarters, but a military base in the Middle East.

A female Langley agent appeared on the big screen.

"Good morning, Agent Noel."

"Good morning, Director Carmen, Deputy Director Edwin."

Lake flipped through the information in his hand, and the conversation was done by Director Carmen next to him.

The Department of Homeland Security is in charge of homeland security. Anything that may threaten federal security falls within the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security. Of course, instead of allowing terrorist attacks to occur on the federal mainland, it is better to prevent problems before they occur.

Therefore, the Department of Homeland Security has cooperated with Langley, who has collected and operated in foreign countries.

Just like now.

This Langley female agent Noel, who has been responsible for intelligence acquisition at a military base in the Middle East for many years, intercepted a single piece of terrorist news that might be launched against New York.

Under the recommendation, the book-chasing app I am using recently, [\\mi\\mi\\read\\app\\\\] cache reading, offline reading!

To be precise.

The news came out before Lake was promoted, but at that time there was only this news. For the past year, the New York State Department of Homeland Security has been cooperating with the Knoll agent to analyze this news. .

The so-called terrorist act does not mean that you can do it right away.

Do you really think that so many federal law enforcement agencies are vegetarian?

Certain explosives can be bought in the federal territory, but those are under control, and even those explosives on the black market are also under surveillance.

You used it to rob a bank or something, no problem. This is a matter for the local police department and the FBI.

But what if you use these explosives to engage in terrorist acts?

Ha ha.

Sorry.

The Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Gunfire and Explosives Administration promise to drop you from the sky and catch you the day before you just bought it and are ready to act.

Therefore, explosives that want to launch a terrorist attack against the Federation can only be smuggled in from outside.

This alone prevents 98% of terrorists. If you want to transport explosives, especially in New York, even the leader of Hell’s Kitchen, Kim, will directly sink your body in the Hudson River. At the end.

After the September incident in 2001, even the inexhaustible golden man, they cooperated with the angry New York law enforcement community to hunt down the terrorists who were hiding in various places in New York.

To put it bluntly, in New York today, capable terrorists are extinct, and for the rest, if you are a Middle Easterner, hehe, buying a gun backhand on the black market will report you.

Not report it to the New York Police Department ~lightnovelpub.net~ but report it to Jin Bin.

I have to admit that in the dark world of New York, Kim does not have absolute control. Otherwise, when Lake was in the New York Police Department, he would not have been busy with George and Beckett for so long and had not found the one who eliminated Kim. Opportunity.

right now?

Lake resigns. Even after the gold union is eliminated, the huge market vacated will be a second gold union. It is not necessary. To eliminate the harm for the people, it must be divided into occasions.

Pulled away.

Back to the topic.

Agent Knoll on the big screen took the information handed over by someone next to him, and said with excitement towards Director Carmen and Lake: "In the operation last night, we made substantial progress and arrested Hassan Raham!"

Lake turned to the Carmen main pipe next to him: "Where did this Hassan Raham come out?"

Carmen, fifty-year-old this year, said directly: "You caught it when you went to the special zone on vacation. Specifically, let's say Agent Knoll."

Lake looked at Agent Knoll on the big screen with a respectful look.

Agent Knoll nodded and said, "Deputy Director Edwin, this Hassan Raham was tracked and located after we heard about it for almost five months. Before that, we didn’t know anything about this person. Status is the sixth in command of [Freedom Glory]."

Lake was stunned.

The glory of freedom belongs to a subordinate organization of a certain country, and it is also an organization that has been found to have a plan to carry out terrorist acts against New York after more than a year of investigation.

can……

The sixth in command?

This status is too low, right? What are the logistical tasks in that organization?

But thinking about it, the sixth commander is a big fish.

Lake said directly: "How long does it take to pry open his mouth over there?"
