Chapter 93 I Know Who You Are (Reward plus 15, thanks to Brother Ye Qiaogu!)
What's going on?
When the other Hydras saw Stern's brain suddenly become clear and he went offline, they were stunned at first. Then, they took off their glasses, and the projection disappeared and they left the scene.
Immediately following.
With a buzzing sound.
Lake appeared in the dim little dark room wearing these glasses.
No one.
One, two, three, four... twelve.
Ding ding ding!
Lake counted the chairs, then took off his glasses and his eyes fell on the ringing phone on Stern's desk.
Connected.
Lake listened to the silence over there and smiled: "Hello!"
Alexander Pierce, who was in Director Sanfei's office, narrowed his eyes and said, "You are not Stern."
Lake glanced at Stern, who was lying on the table. "You said this fat pig, sorry, it's dead."
He said he would kill two people from Hydra.
Lake did what he said.
My main job is a killer, what evidence do I need? If it weren't for the consideration of not wanting to make things difficult for SHIELD, Lake would have wanted to stop when he had killed all the Hydras.
Lake listened to the dead tone on the phone, smiled, and hung up.
After a while.
Lake watched himself leave his killer mark on the table, then shot himself.
Bang!
The clone died and dissipated instantly.
"hiss!"
"...What's wrong with you?"
Sitting on the sofa in Arlington's house, chatting with Betty, Lake rubbed his brow and shook his head, saying, "I just had a headache."
The same thing.
Although I'm used to the feeling of headshots, I'm still not used to the aftereffects.
With Stern's death, the tracking card with Stern's name on it turned into ashes in Lake's sight.
By the way, is there any medicine or technology that can block the sense of pain? This happens every time I use my clone. Lake feels that even if his body can be called immortal, he will suffer from neurasthenia sooner or later.
Betty looked at Lake, whose expression was a little grim, and asked with concern: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Lake waved his hand.
but...
Betty had already jumped up from the sofa: "Mom, Lake just had a headache. I think there's something wrong with his brain."
Lake's mouth twitched.
Something wrong with your brain?
I'll hit your brain and cause a cerebral hemorrhage, do you believe it?
In the afternoon.
After undergoing a full set of examinations at the hospital, Lake walked out of the hospital speechless. Although Lake knew that there was nothing wrong with him, Karen didn't believe it and insisted on coming to the hospital for a check-up.
Lake was too embarrassed to refuse Karen's kindness.
It's all Betty's fault.
Lake raised an eyebrow, searching for the silent Betty.
Their eyes met.
Betty shuddered and headed down the stairs first, saying without looking back, "Mom, brother, I'm going back to school first. Don't wait for me."
Lake: "…"
Karen: "…"
At Congressman Stern's home.
When Crossbones and his team just walked to the door, they smelled a strong smell of blood coming from this independent house.
The gate is intact with no signs of damage.
but...
There were corpses everywhere inside.
All dead.
Several Hydra agents avoided the corpses on the ground and began to patrol the entire house. Crossbones went straight to the study on the second floor. When he opened the door, he saw Stern lying on the table with a big hole in the back of his head.
Immediately following.
Crossbones' eyes fell on an object on the table.
A King of Spades!
Crossbones' eyes narrowed, he took out his phone and dialed.
"explain."
"Dead."
Crossbones language is very short, just two words, dead, and the whole family was killed. Even the valuable big dog and Arabian cat in Stern's family were shot to death.
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment: "Do you know who did it?"
Crossbones picked up the King of Spades on the table and clicked it.
Next second.
Crossbones ran quickly towards the study window, and with a bang, he broke through the window and rushed straight out, almost as soon as Crossbones' legs left the window.
Boom!
It was like a bomb with a huge TNT content was detonated instantly.
With a loud bang, Crossbones in the air quickly curled up into a ball. The instantaneous shock wave exploded and instantly blasted Crossbones into the pond not far away.
boom!
Crossbones falls overboard.
When Crossbones emerged from the water, he saw that the house hidden in the forest, which was surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, had become a ruin undergoing the test of fire.
puff!
Crossbones came ashore, spat out a mouthful of blood, ran back to his car, grinned, took out another phone and dialed.
"What's going on?"
"Ah...he planted explosives."
"...The cleanup team is on the way. Who is he?"
"The Black King!"
"…"
Crossbones pulled out the King of Spades card, which had a hint of metallic texture and had been stuffed into his pocket when he broke the window, and flipped open the back. "He left a message."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't speak.
"I know who you are. This is just a warning. Next time, I'll call you out one by one. I have plenty of time."
"…"
Crossbones repeated the words on the back of the card, then held the phone and removed the bandages, "What now?"
"…Come back first."
"good."
Crossbones hung up the phone, bit the bandage with his mouth, ignored the screams of the Hydra agent who survived and was seriously injured outside, and drove away directly.
Ten minutes later.
The Hydra cleanup team arrives.
puff!
puff!
The two teams finished off the enemy without saying a word while quickly cleaning up the debris.
Half an hour later.
Officers from the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene, only to find the house reduced to rubble. They found nothing else.
You can't blame the police officers for being slow to arrive.
They are very busy today.
First, he was busy cooperating with federal agents to capture spies lurking in the Special Administrative Region, and then he was waiting at the airport to escort the target mission to the Homeland Security Building.
As a result, they were attacked on the road.
A team of assassins launched a reckless attack on the vehicle where the target was located. The target, who was sitting in the vehicle and was about to be escorted to the Department of Homeland Security for interrogation, died on the spot.
Then... we received another call about Congressman Stern being attacked. It was already very difficult to allocate police forces to rush over.
Media reporters in Washington, DC were in an uproar.
Today is like Christmas for them. There are big news everywhere, and they don't know which news to put on the front page.
Is it a spy case?
Or a shootout on the streets of Washington, D.C.?
Or was it…the Stern Mansion bombing?
It's a carnival.
Although this was an event that caused great stress to the major law enforcement agencies in Washington, D.C., in the hearts of media reporters it was a Christmas specially for them.
only...
When Lake, who had returned to New York a few days later, saw Congressman Stern appearing in front of the media with a thick gauze wrapped around his head and being interviewed, the bourbon in his mouth spurted out.
