Chapter 94: After the war, there will be artillery fire (reward plus 25, thank you again and again for your important work, big brother!)
What kind of international joke is this?
Resurrection from the dead?
Hydra has already mastered this advanced technology. Isn't it afraid that the monarch from hell will come up and talk to Hydra about life and ideals?
Lake wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and looked at Congressman Stern who appeared in front of the Washington Hospital on TV. He felt that it was not scientific and was very magical.
Congressman Stern is dead.
Lake was certain.
But right now?
What kind of cunning operation is Hydra doing again?
Is he really dead, and a substitute is taking his place?
Lake was a little confused.
Five days ago, he completed his mission in Washington, so he left Washington directly and returned to New York with David Bass on the newly purchased New York State Department of Homeland Security special plane.
The subsequent tasks have little to do with Lake.
Lake was too lazy to get involved in the subsequent investigation. That was the business of the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and the military in Washington. Bucky Barnes's fate was also determined.
Military laboratory.
After Lake told Tony Stark the news, the latter didn't seem surprised at all and just said thank you.
Are you a tsundere?
That's what Lake thought at first after he hung up the phone, but the next day, Lake saw the news that Tony Stark flew directly to the Quantico base.
All right.
Lake understood.
This was the result of Tony Stark's behind-the-scenes manipulation. After all, Tony had a very good relationship with the military. Compared to letting Bucky Barnes stand trial directly in court, what could make Tony Stark happier than watching Bucky Barnes being subjected to various experiments in a military laboratory?
This is not tsundere.
This is a yandere.
As for Short and her husband Mike?
Short is currently under the supervision of the Department of Homeland Security and may need to be held in protective custody for a period of time. After all, with so many spies, a witness is needed to testify.
I hope Short won't be silenced by the elites filmed by the angry emperor.
Lake thought so.
Next second.
Lake shook his head and turned his attention to Congressman Stern, who was supposed to be dead but now came back, who appeared on the TV in front of him.
This is so meow...
Lake took out his phone. Even the pizza he had just bought didn't smell good anymore. He got up and left. As he walked towards the study on the second floor, he called Minister Kelly.
In the study.
After hanging up the phone, Lake touched his chin.
Just now, Lake asked Minister Kelly about Congressman Stern. As a result, Minister Kelly said that Congressman Stern was not attacked in the study, but was attacked on the road. Fortunately, the gunman was not accurate. In order to leak the news, the outside world was not informed when Congressman Stern was receiving treatment in order to prevent the gunman from committing a second crime.
Lake then asked in confusion, "Has the gunman been caught now?"
Minister Kelly gave a positive answer, but did not capture them alive. Instead, when preparing for the attack in a warehouse, the killers accidentally detonated the explosives in the warehouse. During the subsequent search, some evidence was found in the ruins.
Evidence of KGB espionage.
The KGB is taking the blame again.
Good job.
After Lake hung up the phone, he sat in his computer chair and kept shouting "Wow!" It turned out that Hydra had identified the KGB as the culprit. Could the KGB be blamed for anything?
But.
Lake knows the truth.
Senator Stern is dead, it is a foregone conclusion. Moreover, the dead Senator Stern did not exist at all. He was a substitute or something. Don't forget that Lake used a tracking card to track down Senator Stern and then shot Stern in the head.
It would be strange if he could be resurrected.
Could it be that the person who was just interviewed was a stand-in? Anyway, the real Congressman Stern's family is finished, so there is no need to worry about the stand-in's identity being exposed.
Can...
etc.
Have I fulfilled my promise?
Lake looked up at the ceiling, a little absent-minded.
It is said that two well-known figures must die in Hydra this time. Sunil is dead, but is Stern considered dead or not?
Is Stern one of those people who is still alive even though some others are dead?
Do you want to go back to Washington and kill again?
Lake was a little confused as to whether he should continue to have clear thoughts or his mind was blocked. Hydra's outrageous actions completely refreshed his perception of the stupid Hydra.
It turns out that villains can be played like this?
Just then.
Ding Dong!
Lake came back to his senses and looked at the computer page, which showed a new message received by the private account of the Continental Hotel.
Open.
It was sent from a killer she knew, and the general meaning was that someone wanted to invite Lake to meet through her, and the other party could pay 500,000 US dollars as the meeting fee.
Are you so generous?
Lake blinked and his eyes fell on the words "Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars".
This time when he went to Washington, Lake carefully calculated that he had earned a maximum of 80,000 US dollars. He originally thought that Tony Stark would come to his senses and place an order directly, and Lake accepted the order to kill Senator Stern.
As a result, Tony did not place the order, forcing Lake to pay out of his own pocket to deal with Congressman Stern, and the 80,000 US dollars was found in Congressman Stern's home.
There was a safe, but once again, Lake forgot to ask for the password before killing.
This is a very annoying problem.
Lake really wanted to change, but he was afraid that some law would appear, which would be troublesome. Therefore, he usually liked to kill people first and then talk nonsense. Unfortunately, Lake always forgot one thing: the dead cannot speak.
This made Lake a little conflicted. If he killed people first, he wouldn't be able to get the password, but if he didn't kill people, he was afraid that he would prove the villain's law.
Why.
Lake thought about it, considered it for a moment, and sent a message: "Where are you?"
The friend quickly replied: "New York."
Lake rubbed his chin.
But before Lake could send a message, his friend on the other end sent another message: "1515."
Lake: "…"
Half an hour later.
Continental Hotel.
Boom boom boom!
Lake stood at the door of room 1515. The door was open, but before he could say anything, her red lips were already pressed against his. Lake's eyes narrowed slightly, and his blood rushed down instantly.
Immediately following.
With a bang.
Lake entered the room like a tree climbed by a koala, hooked the door with one foot, and went straight to the big bed with Sabine Morrow who was entangled in him.
"Bang!"
"Hahaha."
An hour later.
Lake leaned on the bed, smoking a cigarette.
Sabine came out of the bathroom wrapped in a white sheet, snatched the cigarette from Lake's hand, took a puff, and exhaled a puff of smoke at Lake.
Lake narrowed his eyes.
Smoke swirled upward.
Sabine Morrow, a blonde who only loves diamonds and not people, said, "You are the best temporary lover I have ever had in the Federation, bar none."
Lake twitched the corners of his mouth.
…
