From this moment on, perhaps, it was not only Tony Stark's fate that was shifted, but also Frank Cartland, who was targeted by Tony Stark.
Despite what Jarvis said, he believed that Tony Stark's strength lies in his intelligence.
but...
Tony Stark, who is so conceited and proud, is thinking about Lake's dissuasion and the mastermind who chose to give up when he saw that he was not fooled. There is no doubt that this is a bloody fact for Tony Stark.
He is a weakling.
Lake didn't let him go to Texas to protect him.
Seeing that Tony was not fooled, Hydra gave up directly because they felt that his threat level was not as high as Lake's.
In short.
No matter which one it was, Tony Stark couldn't accept it calmly. Since when did he, Tony Stark, suddenly become someone who needed to be protected?
especially...
Hydra's actions were even more difficult for Tony Stark to accept. He could clearly see the murderer of his father hanging around there, but because he knew it was a trap, he could only let others help him take revenge.
Even though Lake and Tony were allies in this matter, it didn't make Tony feel relieved.
Of course.
Lake didn't know that Tony had given up on the beauty and chosen to learn fighting.
Amarino, in the Lone Star State.
The Department of Homeland Security's special plane had just arrived in the city, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon local time.
"Director Edwin, I'm Director of Operations, Carylan, from the Texas Division of Homeland Security!"
"Hello, thank you."
After getting off the car, Lake shook hands with the bearded, cowboy-looking man, who looked like a local, Callian. "Didn't I tell you to go to Vega first?"
Karilan smiled and said, "Our director specially asked me to greet you here."
Lake nodded thoughtfully.
Callian also shook hands with John Wick who followed him down.
John Wick said expressionlessly: "John Wick."
After Karilan walked away, he pointed with his right hand at a car not far away.
Lake made a wait gesture, looked at John Wick, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Mr. Wick, for the last time, are you sure you don't want to follow me?"
John Wick looked at Lake deeply, then turned and walked out of the hangar on his own.
Lake waved at several agents who were planning to stop John Wick, signaling them not to stop John Wick, but to watch John Wick leave the hangar on his own and disappear from Lake's sight.
"this..."
The Calilan Operations Director watched John Wick's departing back and looked at Lake with some confusion.
Lake smiled and said, "Mr. John Wick is not one of ours, but he also needs to come here because he has his own things to do."
After saying that.
Lake looked at Callian.
"let's go"
"This way, Director Edwin."
Callilan came back to his senses, smiled, and invited Lake to the car parked not far away.
soon.
Three off-road vehicles drove out of the hangar and headed west of Amarino.
Twenty minutes later.
The car was speeding and was about to approach the small town of Vega, which was 80 kilometers away.
Sitting in the passenger seat, local operations director Calilan looked in the rearview mirror at Lake, his eyes closed and his arms folded. He reached for a silenced pistol under the seat and said, "Sir, the sheriff from Vega sent a message saying they saw a family coming from San Horn an hour ago, claiming to be on tour. Our people have already rushed to Vega."
Lake said without even opening his eyes: "Has there been any information from the New York Operations Center?"
"Not yet."
"Um."
Lake yawned and said, "I'll take a nap first. Wake me up when we get there."
Carilan, sitting in the passenger seat, gently turned the safety of his pistol, hummed in response to Lake, and exchanged glances with the agent driving the vehicle.
Next second.
"Puff!"
"Bang, bang!"
"What?"
Callian turned around and fired two shots at Lake in the back seat with the silenced pistol in his hand. However, Lake, who was sleeping in the back seat just a second ago, suddenly disappeared.
What the hell?
"Hi, here!"
"...Bang!"
Callilan heard the sound, looked down, and saw Lake lying on the floor of the back seat, but at the same time he saw Lake, he also saw the gun pointed at him.
Next second.
At the same time as the gunshot.
Lake stood up and sat back in the passenger seat, pointing his gun directly at the driver's eyebrows: "If you move, believe it or not, you will die too."
The driver braked hard.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Lake shot the driver dead, then slammed the back door with his left hand, and then jumped out of the car when the vehicle braked suddenly.
Boom!
After a roll, behind him, a vehicle crashed head-on into the iron pillar of the road billboard, instantly exploding and producing a huge fireball.
MMP.
Is Hydra not even planning to act?
Lake was speechless. The moment he got off the plane and shook hands with this Callilan, he knew one thing. The Callilan in front of him was a fake. It was estimated that the real Callilan's operations director should have arrived in Vega Town.
reason?
An operations director of the Department of Homeland Security, his right hand doesn't have calluses from years of holding a gun?
What.
Maybe Callilan is left-handed?
There is this possibility, but there is no information about Callilan that he is left-handed. Besides, even if there was no handshake, Lake knew that there was something wrong with the Callilan in front of him the moment he got off the plane.
Don't forget.
The Force is with Riker.
Lake's Force is constantly absorbing the emotional power floating around within a five-meter radius centered on himself as nutrients for the Force seed.
The moment Lake got off the plane, he absorbed the emotional power that could supply darkness from this Kalilan and the homeland agents brought by Kalilan.
squeak!
The two off-road vehicles in front and behind braked immediately.
Behind Lake, the door of the SUV opened, and the five agents inside were ready to get out of the car with automatic rifles in their hands.
Just then.
boom!
With the sound of a roaring motor, a black pickup truck appeared directly from the small hill on the right side of the road. With a bang, in an instant, the black pickup truck crashed directly into the SUV behind it.
moment.
The SUV behind was knocked off the road with two agents who were almost hit by the pickup truck and were stuck to the car.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The five Hydra agents who got off the SUV in front opened fire directly at Lake and the black pickup truck that suddenly entered the game.
Ding ding ding!
Bullets hit the body of the black pickup truck densely, making crisp sounds.
Behind the car body shelter.
Lake looked at John Wick who was picking up an automatic rifle from the ground and said, "You came here without a weapon?"
John Wick clicked his rifle twice and inspected the quality of the automatic rifle in his hand: "We were in a hurry. We didn't have time."
"You right, I left?"
"good."
When masters fight, there is no need to talk too much nonsense.
It was just like when they were in the hangar, Lake specifically asked John Wick whether he wanted to go with him. As both were masters, they both understood what the other person wanted to express without the other person saying it too clearly.
It's the same now.
The words fell.
Lake and John Wick stood up one on the left and one on the right.
"Bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The pistol bullets and rifle bullets were fired instantly. In an instant, Lake's bullets directly penetrated the heads of the two Hydra agents, while John Wick's bullets directly exploded the chests of the two Hydra agents.
Lake likes to hit the head, which has a great visual effect and can ensure that even if the opponent is a zombie, he can kill him with one blow.
As for John Wick, he likes to aim at the heart in a conventional way. After all, as a killer, what he pursues is a one-shot kill, not visual effects.
The last one.
Lake and John looked at each other.
"Bang!"
"sudden!"
Two bullets of different sizes pierced the head and heart of the last Hydra agent almost at the same time.
"Good marksmanship."
"You're great too."
"Thanks."
Lake smiled slightly and accepted John Wick's praise.
Just then.
"Mr. Edwin, be careful, there is an armed helicopter approaching you."
"…"
Lake covered his earphones, walked directly to the driver's seat of the black pickup truck and opened the door.
At the same time.
Boom boom boom!
A black armed helicopter without any markings flew over the side of the barren mountain. Below the helicopter, four missiles on the missile rack were ready to be launched.
boom!
Lake stepped on the accelerator, and just as John Wick stepped into the passenger seat, the car started instantly, roaring and whistling, crushing flesh and blood towards the town of Vega, which was 80 kilometers away.
Behind.
The helicopter gunship pilot simply pressed the button.
call out!
call out!
Two ground-to-ground missiles instantly attacked the pickup truck driven by Lake.
Lake had a blank expression on his face. He instantly pulled the handbrake with his right hand, coordinated with his feet, and turned the steering wheel sharply.
boom!
boom!
Two ground-to-ground missiles exploded instantly.
boom!
The black pickup truck immediately finished circling, accelerated again, and passed through the billowing black smoke of the explosion unscathed, then accelerated again and headed towards the town of Vega.
"Shit!"
"Come again."
The Hydra agent driving the attack helicopter once again prepared to press the missile launch button with an expressionless face. At the same time, the barrel under the fuselage began to rotate.
Just then.
Lake pulled the handbrake again, opened the cab door, and walked out from the driver's seat with an expressionless face. Holding the Glock 17 in both hands, he took a few steps forward and looked at the armed helicopter approaching them in the sky.
Pull the trigger!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
One shot hit the helicopter's fuel tank fuse, the second shot directly penetrated the fuel tank, and the third shot, with a bang, the helicopter instantly turned into a fireball.
Turn around.
The moment the black pickup truck finished circling in place, Lake sat back in the driver's seat, released the handbrake, and with a bang, the speed increased. The helicopter instantly hit the place where Lake had been standing.
Boom!
The helicopter crashed to the ground and caused another explosion!
