Chapter 498 Constant Trouble
This matter ended like this.
Luke and the team followed on the ship all the way to the naval base in Hawaii.
The decommissioning ceremony of the USS Missouri was held on time.
Here it will become a museum.
General Adams will be promoted to Vice Admiral and will take over as commander of the 3rd Fleet in the Pacific Theater at a later date.
The cook Casey, who helped in this incident, was restored to the rank of Sergeant Major.
But the retirement procedures must wait.
Luke was not in a hurry. Since he had already been chosen, he could take his time.
What Luke didn't expect was that Hobbes was also from the Navy and actually knew General Adams.
This is easy now. Let the team rest in Hawaii for a few days and treat it as a trip.
Then Luke left Hawaii after attending General Adams' promotion ceremony.
Selene brings news to Luke.
Bond got into trouble in Austria.
During a large opera performance, Bond kills the bodyguard of the British Prime Minister's envoy.
Luke was curious.
"He's just a bodyguard. What kind of trouble could that be? With the British intelligence organization that's as sifted through, isn't it normal for a few people to be bribed?"
"Obviously, Mrs. M didn't see it that way, so Bond asked someone to come to me for help."
"Okay, I'll be there soon, we'll talk then."
Luke traveled halfway around the world from Hawaii to Vienna, Austria.
When meeting Selene, first "reminisce about the past" and then talk about business.
The next day, Luke met Bond, who looked unwell.
Selene went with Luke.
Bond knew from the last incident that Luke was the real culprit.
Then he said to Luke:
"I tracked down a group called the Quantum Group, and they were planning to drill for oil in Bolivia."
Luke was a little surprised to hear the news.
He had never heard that Bolivia produced oil, and he had never heard of it in his previous life.
Luke frowned but didn't say anything and looked at Bond again.
When Bond saw that Luke was not surprised, he knew that Luke might be even richer.
"They want to stage a coup in Bolivia so they can take control of Bolivia's oil business."
Luke spread his hands.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Bond smiled.
"You are also an American, anyone can do business there."
Luke shook his head.
"I don't know much about this Quantum Organization, and I don't understand it. Bolivia's oil doesn't provide me with any definite benefits that would make me go to war with them."
"I need accurate information, and I will do that myself."
Bond nodded.
"Now that MI6 has stopped my passport and funds, I need your help."
Luke turned to look at Selene.
"Get him a black card, send him a crew, and take him to where he wants to go."
Bond thanks Luke and leaves.
Selene's men acted quickly and sent Bond the relevant documents and funds the next day.
Bond first went to Greece to visit an old friend.
Luke and Selene returned to Hungary.
Selene asked Luke:
"Why would Bond look for you? What he needs should be easy for him to get."
Selene is referring to the channels through which funds leave the country.
Luke smiled.
"He's returning the favor, but he's also testing me."
"Oh?"
Selene looked at Luke, waiting for him to explain.
"I helped him last time in Italy, so this time, use this information to help me return a favor."
"In fact, he was just trying to see if I could intercept this quantum organization."
"He doesn't know my identity, and Mrs. M didn't tell him. He uses this method to confirm whether my influence is strong enough."
"Obviously, this opponent gave Bond some headaches."
Selene asked Luke again:
"Aren't Britain and the United States allies? They should be united on the issue of oil. Why would Bond want to stop the Quantum Organization?"
Luke smiled and said:
"There is a bit of personal vendetta involved here."
"How long will you stay this time?"
This sudden change of subject caught Luke off guard.
Luke didn't answer, but proved it with his actions.
(The following content cannot be displayed due to special reasons in your region)
Selene's men knew that every time the queen's husband came, the queen would give them a holiday.
At least 3 days...
So, they all welcomed Luke's arrival...
The immortal vampires are neither dead nor alive. They cannot stand the 007 work arrangement every day.
But fortunately, they all work at night, so they can only sit in the office during the day and don't have to go out...
Lilith soon brought news to Luke.
According to satellite surveys, there is no oil in Bolivia.
The survey results of the land acquired by the Quantum Organization revealed a large amount of groundwater resources.
Only then did Luke realize that the Quantum Organization had deceived everyone.
What they want is not oil, but water resources.
This is more terrifying than controlling oil.
Without oil, the worst that can happen is that development will be slower.
But without water, it would be a big problem.
However, Luke did not want to get involved in this mess, so he asked Lilith to send the relevant information to Bond.
The Quantum Organization can use water resources to make huge profits, but Luke won't.
There is too little benefit here.
After thinking for a moment, Luke called the old man.
Unexpectedly, the old man was interested in this.
The old man taught Luke another lesson.
Water does not make money, but the related derivative industrial chain is very useful.
Use water resources to benefit the people. Who do you think will win the Bolivian election?
Luke suddenly realized.
But the old man took over the subsequent matters.
There's no need for Luke to get involved.
However, Luke received bad news from Lilith.
Thom was arrested.
Brian's superior did not abide by the agreement with Brian and gave up the arrest warrant for Tom.
And Brian's superiors, under Lilith's surveillance, did not find anything wrong.
This gave Luke a headache.
So Luke said goodbye to Selene and returned to Los Angeles.
But before Luke had the chance to find Brian, the police issued a wanted warrant.
Brian took Mia to intercept the prison van and let Tom go.
Since then, all three have been wanted.
Luke first called Harris and asked if this was Harris' plan.
The answer was negative.
If Harris really wanted Brian to do something undercover, he would communicate with Brian directly.
And she wouldn't hide it from Luke, she knew that Luke and Brian were classmates and had a good relationship.
Then there must be someone behind this.
Luke found Sean Arthur and told him about Brian.
Arthur also fell into deep thought about this.
This guy was transferred from another state.
This incident shows that this guy obviously has other bosses behind him and is not on the same page as Arthur.
After reaching an agreement with Luke, Luke left Los Angeles.
Tom and his people are in Mexico. They are preparing to go to South America, a place that has no extradition treaty with the United States.
