Lake returned to New York after Christmas.
reason?
Lake had already refused Ross's request to stay, but it was difficult for him to refuse Karen's request. Moreover, the New York family had lost its hostess again, so this year's Christmas was spent in Washington.
Langley's side was cleaned up from top to bottom.
The kind that is unreserved.
After being criticized by the President, the angry Director Langley, George Tenet, directly signed the document, stating that any information in Langley would be available to the temporarily appointed special prosecutor Karen Ross.
During the past twenty days, Karen investigated Langley thoroughly. Together with the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, she uncovered three drug lords and agents who had unclear ties with Langley, and also found Langley's three hidden bases of operations on the mainland.
Langley's injuries were not just broken bones, but his limbs were completely crippled. If Langley had not been useful to the white building, he would not have been simply arrested by three hundred people.
And the FBI.
The Attorney General, who also serves as the Federal Attorney General, was very angry about the collusion between his deputy and Langley. He directly ordered the director of the New York FBI to lead the Internal Affairs Department of the FBI to investigate the entire matter thoroughly.
after all...
When did my great FBI start collaborating with those villains in the CIA?
but.
Despite the FBI and Langley's big move, the Washington media, contrary to their usual practice, chose to remain silent, publishing only small stories about politicians and gossip every day.
It was a successful transaction.
In exchange for allowing Karen Logan to conduct her investigation unimpeded, the Rockefellers and several other major families demanded that their media outlets be selectively silenced.
Karen agreed.
After all, if this matter is publicized by the media, then, haha, not only the people of the Federation will benefit from it, but people in other countries will also get something out of it.
That's right.
It is said that SHIELD was also affected in this incident.
I heard this from Ross.
It is said that after the aftermath of this incident gradually calmed down, Director Langley and the Attorney General directly turned their attention to Nick Fury, the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nothing else.
To get to the bottom of this matter, if Lake had stayed in New York and not returned to Washington, then, to put it bluntly, Langley would have been able to assassinate Anna quietly and leave her without any evidence.
But Lake is back, and in their opinion, Lake's return is entirely caused by SHIELD's self-willed desire to recruit Lake.
So after Director Langley and the Attorney General calmed Karen's anger, they began to attack Nick Fury.
Although at the meeting, Alexander Pierce, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was originally scheduled to retire in October next year, chose to protect his good friend and deputy director Nick Fury, it was still of no use.
The final result ended with Nick Fury being transferred from the Trident. As for where Nick Fury was transferred to, that was an internal matter of S.H.I.E.L.D. The two bosses felt relieved when they saw that Nick Fury had taken the blame.
And then.
Lake received a call from the director yesterday, saying that his suspension order had been lifted.
so...
Lake was packing his spare clothes that had been sent from New York in his room, preparing to go back to New York to work and earn money by taking orders.
Just then.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
Lake called out to the person knocking on the door, then turned around to look at the person who came in and exclaimed, "This dress suits you very well."
Anna, dressed in the uniform of a female officer second lieutenant, with her hat tucked under her arm and her long silver-white hair tied up, said thank you and then looked at the luggage bag behind Lake: "I heard you are leaving?"
Lake hummed: "There are still things going on in New York."
Although Washington is very comfortable, you only spend money here and don't make money. New York is better. There are many crimes and many people who want to hire killers. It is a perfect place to make money.
It is not easy to live a comfortable life. Lake has already thought about it. When he gets a godhood by spending money, at least he can have a good fight with Odin and then retire immediately. He will find a planet of his own, live there, plant flowers and so on, put his weapons into storage, and let his horses graze in the mountains. It will be a very comfortable life.
Now?
The road to krypton gold is still very long, and this is the time when you need to struggle the most. If you don't struggle, you will have no money, and if you have no money, you can't krypton gold, and if you don't krypton gold, you can't get godhood or something.
Anna pursed her lips and said again: "Thank you."
Originally, the Attorney General was firmly against Anna, who had a KGB background, joining the army. However, the Attorney General's own FBI was involved in the scandal.
Therefore, Anna was also negotiated as a condition for non-exposure, and the KGB information in Anna's hands was exchanged for Anna's ability to join the army.
In fact, the information Anna provided is also very valuable.
During this period, the FBI directly surrounded five bases belonging to the Red House on the mainland. Although FBI agents suffered losses in the process of destruction, it was within controllable range.
Lake smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. If the information you provided was worthless, they wouldn't agree."
Anna was silent for a while: "By the way, can I go to New York to see you?"
Lake tilted his head and thought for a moment: "It's better not to. I said, there is no deal between us. And, to be honest, my ideal partner hopes to be someone outside the circle."
It would be best if I could be a teacher.
It would be even better if it was someone who taught art. If that wasn't possible, as long as he wasn't holding a gun and they made eye contact, Lake thought he could easily knock him out.
Hawkeye Barton's wife is pretty good.
Of course.
Lake had no interest in married women. To repeat, if Lake had known that the woman had a husband, he would not have done such a morally corrupt thing even if he had chopped little Lake to pieces.
Poaching is exciting, but it is immoral, and Lake's values prevent him from ignoring this.
Ana shrugged: "Okay, but you won't refuse me if I take you to the airport, right?"
Lecti pulled up his luggage, glanced at a lieutenant's uniform hanging on the wall, smiled and said, "Of course not. I'm very happy to have a beautiful woman to see me off."
Anna said, "The car might break down on the way."
Lake was slightly stunned.
Anna smiled, turned and left the room.
Lake came back to his senses and blinked at Anna, who was wearing a white military uniform and turned around with infinite charm. After a while, Lake walked out of the room, closed the door, and went downstairs with Anna to drive to the airport.
Quantico Military Building.
"He was a perfect soldier."
"I know."
Standing with General Ross, John Smith, nicknamed Hannibal and dressed in casual clothes, watched the vehicle drive away and said, "I trained him."
Ross smiled and handed over the documents in his hand. "The establishment of the Tianlong Special Agents Team has been approved. You can look for suitable personnel. I have found the first one for you."
…
PS: John Smith - from "The Untamed"!
