Chapter 24 Come out, Scapegoat S.H.I.E.L.D.

Money, I want it.

Dickon Frost's life, if he could, he wanted it.

Where's the vampire leader?

Tsk tsk.

If this was chopped, if nothing else, the extraordinary points that would be released would definitely be more than those of ordinary vampires.

What?

Believe what you say.

Ho ho ho.

He just predicted that Dicken Frost would definitely not go there alone, so he adopted the attitude of striking first.

Again.

who is he.

How to talk about integrity with a child of a mediocre politician who was born in South Carolina?

Integrity is a kind of moral character, but only for one's friends. For enemies, integrity can become a weapon.

This is what Old Underwood told him when they were chatting.

Don't tell me yet.

The greatest advantage of old Underwood is that he can come up with all kinds of famous quotes casually.

Locke recalled all the words Old Underwood said in his mind, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Brown looked at Locke who said he wanted it all without any secret, he couldn't help but opened his mouth, and then thought about it.

"Your idea is very good, but have you ever thought about a question?"

"Please tell me."

Locke came back to his senses and looked at Brown with a smile.

Brown opened his mouth: "Do you think your supervisor will agree to this?"

Locke smiled, looking sideways at Brown.

"Why don't you agree?"

"I don't agree!"

"..."

Director Walter Herman listened to Locke's words, his eyes widened, he directly slapped the table and rejected Locke's proposal.

Locke blinked and looked curiously at the supervisor who stood up.

"What's the reason?"

"This Dickon Frost is the leader of the vampires in New York City?"

"right."

"Then do you know how much trouble we will cause if we kill him?"

If he didn't know who Dickon Frost was, Walter Herman said he might have agreed to Locke's plan.

But now that we know that Dickon Frost is the leader of vampires in New York City, we can't pretend we don't know.

Walter Herman took a deep breath, looked at Locke who was standing in front of his desk in a crisp suit, and said in a deep voice: "You also know what the bureau plans to do with this incident, your proposal, The risks and benefits are not proportional to us.”

The Sentinel Secret Service wants to use this incident to expand...no, to restore the law enforcement power it originally wanted over the entire supernatural world.

What they want is not a river of blood in New York City.

Dickon Frost is the vampire leader in New York City. If he is assassinated by the Sentinel Secret Service, all vampires in New York City will riot.

When the time comes, it will definitely be the Sentinel Secret Service who takes the blame.

so……

Risks and returns are not directly proportional.

Locke listened to Walter Herman's explanation, touched his chin, and had a different view.

He watched silently as his supervisor, Walter Herman, tried to stop his plan.

His expression was calm.

“The louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.”

"It's better to be chaotic."

"Isn't it?"

"If he causes chaos, our reasons for expanding law enforcement authority will become more justified."

Locke was unconcerned about the Sentinel Secret Service's expanded law enforcement authority.

In his eyes, Dickon Frost, the vampire leader, was worth a lot of extraordinary points.

He was ten thousand unwilling to let go.

“The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish?”

"Yes."

"Oh."

Walter Herman tugged at the corner of his mouth, sat on his chair, looked at Locke, and sneered: "It's good to be chaotic. This is probably what the people above want to see the most, but have you ever thought about it? question."

Locke looked at Walter Herman quietly.

Walter Herman snorted coldly: "If there is chaos, someone will take the blame."

Is killing Dickon Frost important?

unimportant.

Does it matter that Dickon Frost is dead and vampires in New York City are likely to riot?

Not important either.

As Locke just said, the senior officials of the Sentinel Secret Service are eager to see something like this happen, because in this way, their reason for trying to restore law enforcement authority will be more justified.

but……

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

All this is based on the need for someone to take the blame for the artificially possible "vampire riots" and "death of innocent people".

Who can take the blame?

Locke who carries out this plan?

Don't make trouble.

His surname is Underwood, the Democratic Party’s Underwood!

But if Locke is not suitable to take the blame, then who else can?

Walter Herman, the senior Sentinel agent supervisor who approved Locke's fishing assassination plan?

Bah, I am fifty-five this year, and there is no one in Washington. I can retire after a few more years. He doesn't want to step down after taking such a blame.

so……

Walter Herman shook his hairless head like a rattle, saying that he did not agree with Locke's plan to kill Dickon Frost after the transaction.

Locke seemed to read Walter Herman's thoughts from his face, and his expression became a little strange.

"Did you forget that there is another person who is more suitable to take the blame?"

"What..."

Walter Herman was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something, and with a swish, he looked straight at Locke.

"Hiss."

"You mean..."

"You don't think that I really just want to conduct a joint investigation with them."

Those who are in the rush are never business, but calculations!

Locke spread his hands and looked at Walter Herman with a smile.

They!

Naturally, it refers to SHIELD.

Indeed.

Locke was thinking of using the joint investigation as an excuse to successfully team up with the extraordinary points brush Blade.

But because he wanted to team up with Blade, this was definitely not the main reason why Locke agreed to Natasha that the Sentinel Secret Service could conduct a joint investigation with SHIELD.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Before doing things, you can't think about whether he can succeed, but you should think about who is suitable to take the blame if this thing goes wrong.

This is the characteristic of the federal system.

This is why Locke agreed to communicate with SHIELD about joint operations.

If things are done, the credit for the Sentinel Secret Service will still be his.

If things go wrong, someone will have to take the blame.

And what kind of person to take the blame can be compared to SHIELD.

Anyway, SHIELD's law enforcement scope is originally aimed at the entire extraordinary world. If the vampire riot in New York City is not the responsibility of SHIELD, can it be the responsibility of the Sentinel Secret Service that only targets mutants?

Walter Herman looked at Locke, who had a very calm expression, with a strange expression, and couldn't help touching his round chin.

"You are so calculating about others, aren't you afraid that Agent Natasha Romanoff will stab you to death with a knife while you are sleeping?"

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Locke said three times in a row.

Very serious.
