The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

but……

Lake thought about it seriously. After Mo Lin, he had made up his mind, and he would never be looking for his own tree again.

Why bother.

With such a big forest and so many trees, how much brain does it take to find only the tree that belongs to you?

Isn't this sick?

With great power comes great responsibility.

Lake feels that since he has the ability to find more trees, why should he just find one tree? He has love, giving a tree is love, and giving a few trees is love, why not find more trees Woolen cloth.

so.

Lake likes Rachel, and Rachel is also single. If this is a pit, Lake said, it's better to get a few more, it's just flying around all year round.

But okay.

Lake didn't go to Hungary this year, there was only one renegade there, and Emilia was also very busy this year, so Lake made a phone call and it didn't pass.

Cypher?

Cypher came to New York to find Lake two months ago, but he came and went in a hurry. It seems that he used Lake as a tool. After venting, he left again. It seems that he did not intend to ask Lake to make any promises. She doesn't seem to need any commitment.

Lake feels subtle.

And then there's Rachel.

However, Lake has promised Rachel to go to Los Angeles with Rachel and her daughter Josie next month, so for now, Lake feels that even if there are two more, Lake can control the audience.

eight pm.

Lake got out of the car and rubbed his weak legs in the car. The five-hour persuasion journey that he didn't even have time to drink water, if not for his excellent physical fitness, Lake felt that he would be persuaded.

Enter the house.

Ross sat on the sofa and read the newspaper: "Where are you going?"

Lake closed the door with a backhand: "You want me to convince Rachel, forget it, where is Betty."

General Ross snorted: "It's still at the base."

Lake first went to the kitchen to get a wine glass, then walked to the living room, and said first: "My position will never waver. In the matter of Betty and Bruce, I'm on your side."

General Ross put down the newspaper and looked at Lake blankly: "Really?"

Lake nodded: "It's more real than real gold."

Ross smiled and grabbed the newspaper that was obviously upside down: "Your behavior is not like that."

Lake sat down on the sofa next to him: "But, Hulk and Bruce are bound. I think you should see it too. It seems that only Betty can appease Hulk."

Ross put down the newspaper again, took off his glasses, and looked at Lake: "What do you think?"

Lake spread his hands: "Let it be natural, fall in love, it's not marriage, Betty's character, the more we oppose her, the more vigorous we are, so I finally watched it first, and after a while, let Karen bring Betty to the reception. , maybe, just lost interest in Bruce."

Not without this possibility.

After all, Bruce Banner can't be excited, and the Hulk will come out as soon as he is excited. Even if Bruce finds a way to merge with the Hulk, frankly speaking, it still won't work.

and.

Lake thought about that scene, boy, you're not a problem with your eyes anymore.

That's a straight-to-thriller rhythm.

after awhile.

Lake directly changed the subject and looked at Ross: "What does Pennsylvania say."

Ross rubbed his eyebrows: "S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists and military scientists will conduct dissection research on that monster tomorrow."

no way.

The Quantico base was demolished, and the reconstruction required funding from Pennsylvania. As it happened, Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD, expressed his willingness to contribute to the reconstruction of the Quantico base, on the condition that SHIELD also take a stake in this research experiment. in.

Lake nodded and looked at Ross: "General, then you must be optimistic about Bruce. The SHIELD, which has just changed its name, has a dark history of digging people by unscrupulous means."

Lake can attest to this.

Look how S.H.I.E.L.D. poached him, man, they just wanted him to die socially, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. took action to accept Lake, and from then on, Lake was dead on to S.H.I.E.L.D., and then single-heartedly toward them.

This method of poaching people is simply shameless and indecent.

Ross sneered: "Dr. Bruce Banner is a scientist in the military. Don't say they don't know the relationship between Hulk and Bruce. Even if they do, I'd like to see how he catches it."

In fact, General Ross hated Bruce Banner, but not the Hulk.

At the very least, General Ross has seen the invincible future of the military in Hulk. He is not afraid of bullets or cannonballs. It is no exaggeration to say that Hulk will become a sharp knife for the military. Moreover, from the current point of view, Hulk is not a monster that only knows destruction unconsciously like a madman, it seems, it is controllable.

the next day.

Lake didn't follow General Ross to the Quantico base. He didn't even bother to meet the people from S.H.I.E.L.D.

The madman is dead.

nature.

The terror crisis that nearly caused a nuclear test on the mainland was officially lifted.

Lake was directly in his office and spent the morning writing out the report on this action. He didn't hide anything. What he saw was written. Anyway, this investigative report will be carried out by professionals before it is archived. smeared.

Just like Lake's file, almost 80% of the words involved in several operations were blacked out. At first glance, it would only feel unclear.

but……

After the action report was written, Lake still stayed in Washington for about a week. After all, this is a big case, and it is a big case involving joint operations with multiple departments. After it is solved, it needs to be rewarded. .

and.

It's hard to come back, and Rachel doesn't want Lake to go back to New York so soon.

Anyway...

When Lake walked out of JFK Airport in New York again, he was tired and happy.

fatigue.

Yesterday and Rachel fought almost all night. When it was early morning, the smell of the room was very crimson. By the fifth time, the cover had been used up, but the two were still struggling.

Rachel didn't mind, and only cared about the fact that Lake, who was in charge, felt that the cover would affect his performance, so he simply went into real melee combat and launched a vigorous fight.

hapiness.

After Lake got in the car, he smiled at Cassell, who was teasing that our deputy director was finally willing to come back: "Now in front of you is the senior director of the New York State Department of Homeland Security."

Cassel was stunned for a moment: "Promotion, good guy."

Lake smiled.

This kind of big case was finally solved. How could it be possible to reward the merits? It happened that, taking this opportunity, Minister Kelly directly transferred the director Carmen, who was not bad but not tacit with Lake, back to the headquarters. After that, The person who took over the position of deputy director was still an old acquaintance of Lake, and his former partner in the operations department, David.

Yes, the David who looks exactly like the Martian in the universe next door.

back home.

Skye also happened to dare to be behind Lake, going home from school.

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

Lake looked at Skye who was weak and said hello, blinked and asked, "What's wrong, I was bullied."

Skye glanced at Lake, then ran up to the spiral staircase without saying a word.

Lake looked at Skye, whose jacket was tied around his waist and rubbed upstairs, and blinked.

What's going on here?

at this time.

Alexis opened the door and walked in: "Uncle Lake, where's Skye?"

Lake was not surprised that Alexis was able to open his door, and pointed to the upstairs: "Upstairs, what's the matter."

Alexis didn't answer Lake's question, but with a bang, he walked upstairs one after another.

Lake was bewildered.

What are these two girls doing?

Is it so mysterious?

Lake looked up at the upstairs where there was movement from time to time, resisted the urge to go up and have a look, shook his head, drank the wine in his glass and went straight out.

Maybe Cassell knows something.

downstairs.

Lake entered the door, looked at Cassell who was watching the TV over the sofa, and said directly, "What are Alexis and Skye doing, do you know?"

Cassel looked at Lake: "What?"

Lake talked about what happened just now when Skye entered the house, then Alexis entered, and then the two little girls ran upstairs.

Cassel shook his head: "Alexis whispered to her grandma after she came back, and then went out. I thought the two of them went out to buy pizza."

Lake looked at Cassell speechlessly: "Your father is very incompetent."

Cassel opened his mouth, and then looked at Lake speechlessly: "You seem to be very competent. I can't submit the manuscript this week. It's your fault that I was urged."

Lake waved his hand: "So, you don't know what the two of them are doing?"

Cassel nodded.

next second.

Lake and Cassell looked at each other, Cassell turned off the TV directly, caught up with Lake who was walking outside, and then ran upstairs, standing at the door and staring at each other. Small eyes.

"You are advanced."

"You first."

"Why, this is your home."

"So the guests come first."

"..."

While Lake and Cassel were discussing who should go first, Cassel's mother, Rogers Martha, came out of the elevator and looked at the two big men who blocked the door and said, "You two. What are you doing, sneaky?"

Lake and Cassell turned to look at Rogers Martha.

After seeing his mother, Cassel briefly talked about Alexis and Skye, and then asked his mother curiously: "What did Alexis tell you just now, do you know these two? What is this little girl doing?"

Rogers Martha said angrily to Lake and Cassel: "Nonsense, they don't tell me about this kind of thing, do they tell you two big men?"

Cassel, Lake: "..."
