Chapter 566 Handing the Knife (2 in 1 chapter)

After getting the news, Luke made several phone calls and then met Kate first.

Kate came to thank Luke, and the other thing was the battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hand.

SHIELD suffered a great loss because it did not have a clear understanding of its rivals and was arrogant at the beginning.

Now the matter has become a big deal, with both sides suffering losses from the back and forth.

New York police have now simply blocked the surrounding roads and don't know how to deal with the situation.

Luke smiled after hearing this.

"You have done a good job. Don't get involved in the rest."

Kate nodded as well.

The New York police are not fools. S.H.I.E.L.D. is intimidating, but it has no fame or influence.

Although the Hand has withdrawn from New York, it still has relevant connections.

The New York police knew that the Hand was a gang, but without evidence they couldn't do anything to them.

Now that the two gangs have started fighting, it's a good time to wait until they are beaten to a bloody pulp and then clean up the mess.

Anyway, it was an area that was scheduled for demolition and was close to Hell's Kitchen (the most chaotic neighborhood in New York).

So the New York police only blocked the roads in that area.

Luke only told Kate the relevant things, and Kate conveyed the rest to the New York police, who only needed them to block off the area.

The matter of Damon and his daughter was a benefit to the New York police, and for the rest they just had to cooperate with Luke's request.

Luke's skin (FBI Special Affairs Bureau) is still very useful.

Kate got Luke's answer and left quickly.

Next, Luke meets Fisk.

Fisk also came to find Luke.

Mrs. Gao went crazy and threatened Fisk to help her deal with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fisk had no choice but to come to Luke to test the waters.

Luke thought about it and told Fisk not to get involved, saying he would take care of Mrs. Gao.

Fisk breathed a sigh of relief after getting Luke's answer.

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that SHIELD is an official agency. The Hand will just leave, but he can't escape because he has a big family and a lot of money in New York.

Finally, Luke found Damon and his daughter, and took out special glasses so that they could see Ava.

After learning that Ava had been protecting Mindy, both father and daughter were silent for a long time.

Damon was scared and Mindy was excited.

Ava's situation is a cool one for Mindy.

After all, Mindy is still young and doesn't understand some things. This proves the old saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

A short while later, Luke received a call and he left the hotel.

Instead of taking a car, he went to the rooftop of the hotel.

The team members and a Pelican are already waiting here.

After getting on the plane, we headed straight to that neighborhood.

It can be clearly seen from the sky that there is no light in that area anymore.

The SHIELD guys acted quickly and had surrounded the apartment buildings.

But there is still a fierce battle going on over there.

A large number of police cars are rushing there.

When Luke arrived, the New York National Guard and the FBI had already surrounded the place.

After getting off the plane, Luke led his team to find the on-site commanders of both sides.

Colonel in the National Guard and Chief of Operations for the FBI's New York Division.

Caitlin has appointed Luke as the supreme commander on the scene, giving him full authority to handle this "vicious case."

When Luke arrived at the temporary command center, his first order was to arrest someone.

"Arrest them all, and shoot those who resist on the spot."

The two were stunned for a moment and confirmed with Luke.

Only then did I understand Luke's order.

The National Guard's armed helicopter and the FBI helicopter have already started broadcasting at the scene.

SHIELD is fine, but the Hand is not so obedient.

But this is to be expected.

Because at the beginning, Luke called Mrs. Gao and asked her to maintain the offensive state, but also to withdraw their own people from the Hand.

So those who were at the scene were all mercenaries, and when they learned that they were surrounded by the authorities, they began to break out in all directions.

But Luke didn't plan to pursue him closely.

He told the two men to just run away and not to fight to the death, and just ensure the safety of their men.

It's a tough nut to crack, and he also has the special operations team led by Frank.

The situation at the scene was quickly brought under control.

Luke went to S.H.I.E.L.D. first.

"Agent Sitwell, I have warned you many times not to impersonate us FBI."

"we do not have……"

At this time, the FBI agent next to him reported:

"Sir, we found IRS documents on them."

Luke's expression of surprise was a little exaggerated.

"What? Impersonating the IRS is a crime. Now it's also an economic crime... Notify the IRS."

"Hey, Luke, you can't do this..."

When Agent Sitwell pretended to be an FBI agent, Luke was holding him at gunpoint. Now Luke doesn't have a gun, but he is still a captive.

(This guy was the leader of the group that Luke met when he and his siblings went camping at Lake Walcott. See Chapter 7 for details.)

Luke put his arm around his shoulders, walked over and whispered:

"Hey, Sitwell, we are old friends, right? You guys had a big fight in New York, which made it very difficult for me to deal with it."

"We...we...we came here only after receiving orders...it is said that there may be weapons of mass destruction here."

Obviously, this guy was not telling the truth and just didn't want to reveal that there was something under the ground.

Luke patted his shoulder helplessly.

"Man, the people of New York are watching. We have to give them an explanation in front of the media. What do you think people will think of a fierce gunfight in broad daylight?"

"Don't worry, we'll register later and have your leader sign, and then we'll release you. No nonsense."

Hearing Luke say this, Sitwell also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll report this to my superiors."

"no problem."

The FBI quickly took the people they caught at the scene away by car.

The National Guard stayed behind to maintain order and keep the situation under control.

There are various armed helicopters in the sky, and except for useless tanks, all other US military equipment has arrived on the ground.

Luke took advantage of the chaos to walk around the outside of the apartment building.

Finish with a smile.

The thing is in hand, it is really big.

This was the skeleton of some kind of animal. Luke left a large piece underground and packed the rest into his own space.

After a while, a middle-aged man found Luke through the detectives at the scene.

Luke shook his hand.

This man is Madam Gao's subordinate and the person in charge of the legal industries of the Shuhehui.

"Don't worry, we will protect the legitimate interests of every legally operating business. Once the on-site processing is completed, you can enter."

After receiving Luke's reply, the other party smiled with satisfaction and thanked Luke.

He turned around and found a corner to report to Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao was very satisfied with Luke's sincerity in cooperation, but she also became more wary of Luke.

Being able to call the FBI and the National Guard with just one phone call requires a very special identity.

This means that such people have huge appetites and will not even look at small favors given to them.

People can make a lot of money through legal channels and don't care about this underworld industry and interests at all.

However, the most important thing for the Shuhehui is what is under the land.

After the FBI left, Mrs. Gao's men began to enter the site for demolition.

The action is fast.

After the National Guard left, various large machines had already started working.

After Luke and Mrs. Gao's engineering team arrived, they made some arrangements for the National Guard and then left.

The mercenaries didn't catch many because these guys were all desperadoes.

The SHIELD guys finally let them go.

The one who came to redeem the person was Agent Coulson.

There is no problem with the FBI, but now that the IRS has arrived, Luke is no longer responsible for the rest.

The IRS is not as easy to deal with as Luke, which is a headache for SHIELD.

What was revealed to SHIELD at the beginning was just that the Hand was a gang.

But in reality, the hidden power of the Hand is not that of an ordinary gang.

The ninja Luke encountered last time was just the lowest level ninja in the Hand.

There are more advanced ones that haven’t come out yet.

Although they pose no threat to Luke, it is not easy for ordinary SHIELD agents to deal with these ninjas.

The most important thing is that those ninjas are a bit weird.

Luke didn't intend to let them go, but he didn't want to do it himself.

The brain is a good thing.

As a big boss who can represent the earth, he naturally doesn't need to deal with a gang personally.

All you need to do is hand over the knife at the critical moment.

SHIELD is pretty good.

And the news he conveyed through Sophia (Claire White) was true.

It’s just that some “details” are concealed.

Sofia constantly passes information to SHIELD. Over time, Sofia's information is always a little off, and slowly there will be a chain reaction.

Any intelligence agency has an assessment of the information passed on by intelligence personnel.

And your news always gets low marks...

The result... Either change positions or be fired...

He didn't know how SHIELD recruited Sofia, but it was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Luke still has an obsession with Sophia, but he is already a mature boss and some things cannot be made public.

White Moonlight... Haha, what's mine is mine, and no one can take it away from me. SHIELD, the fun has just begun.

Back at the hotel, Luke arranges for Damon and his daughter to go to Paradise, Montana.

Damon is still doing his old job, a policeman.

But this time he’s not a detective, but an ordinary sheriff.

Fortunately, the civil servants in Paradise Town are treated very well, so Damon felt relieved.

Before leaving, he told Luke a place where all the money he had "earned" from fighting gangs over the years was.

All in cash.

Luke thought about it and sent Johnny, Eric and others to get it back.

Over a million dollars in cash.

Luke asked Lilith to transfer $50 to Damon's account on the spot.

"This is clean money. I'll give it to you at the market price. You can use it with confidence, but you have to pay taxes."

Damon thanked Luke.

Even after paying taxes, this amount of money is more than 300,000 yuan, and it can also be used to offset various taxes on the purchase of daily necessities, which can save a lot.

The only one who was unhappy was Mindy.

Mindy was a little unhappy as she was about to separate from Ava.

Ava, in turn, comforts Mindy and says she'll go find her when she's back to normal.

After coaxing Mindy, Damon and his daughter left.

Luke handled today's matter openly.

He put himself out in the open.

Although he did not attend the press conference, the head of the FBI in New York explained it to the media according to his wishes.

That night, Nisha called.

Although vampires don't like to go out, they still watch the news.

Besides, Nisha didn't leave New York.

Luke's open appearance on the scene this time was a show of strength.

He was able to mobilize the New York police to block surrounding roads and mobilize all the FBI and National Guard in New York. This is more powerful than the governor.

Many people don't know Luke's true identity.

Therefore, it is necessary to flex your muscles at certain times to prevent some people from being self-righteous.

Luke is already a big boss, so he has to have a good reputation and can't just let anyone come to him.

Nisha felt it this time.

So I was very respectful on the phone.

"My father would like to invite you to visit England in person..."

"I'm sorry, Miss Nisha, I don't have time... I have a lot of things to deal with in the United States."

"I will wait for him in New York for three days. If he doesn't come, we won't talk anymore."

After saying that, Luke hung up the phone.

What is this old man Ali thinking?

Then Luke began to think again. Ali's attitude was a little unusual.

This doesn't sound like a begging attitude...

After thinking for a while, Luke called Selene.

Selene received instructions from Luke and arranged for people to go to Britain to investigate.

Late at night, Luke returned to Los Angeles via the New York Temple.

In the basement of his Malibu villa, he began to study the skeleton he had dug out of the ground.

Through scanning, Lilith restored the appearance of this creature on the computer.

The result shocked Luke.

It was just the skeleton of a dragon, not the giant lizard from the West, but an Eastern dragon.

Luke only left one dragon claw for the Hand there, and brought back the rest.

"Boss, according to the instrument, this skeleton contains a huge amount of special energy. It is still emitting energy. At this rate, it is expected to be completely released in 3729 years."

Luke didn't care about that.

According to the data, the skeleton is more than 6000 years old.

Who should I ask to authenticate such an old thing?

"You kid actually dug this thing out?"

Luke turned around suddenly.

"Master?"

Barr nodded.

He picked up a dragon bone and knocked on it.

"This thing..."

"Master, do you know this dragon bone?"

"Well, this thing...is of no use to ordinary people. It can only prolong life..."

"That's fine too, if I can sell some medicinal wine..."
