The extraordinary life of a certain American comic

Deputy Director of New York State Sentinel Operations, is this a good position?

Of course it smells good.

Locke was more than a little surprised by this sudden promotion news.

After all, the Sentinel Secret Service in New York State now not only has jurisdiction over mutants, nor does it just have one more vampire, but all extraordinary creatures living in New York State are under the jurisdiction of the Sentinel Secret Service.

The state operations director is, without a doubt, a very high-power position.

This can be of great help to him in planning extraordinary points.

but……

He must not be so obvious and show how impatient he is, and it is not a good choice to be the director of operations in Mazhou at the moment.

First, the reputation will not be good.

There are good and bad reputations.

Although the surname Underwood will bring him rewards for his merits, it will also cause him to suffer some criticism.

Just like this matter now.

There are so many people in New York State who are qualified to serve as state operations director. After all, Locke has just been appointed as city operations director. From a common sense point of view, it would not be his turn no matter what.

Not to mention, Jonathan had just died, and it was estimated that within twenty-four hours, he had been appointed by the Sentinel Chief. If others knew about it, they would have thought that he had gone through the back door. Some people with dark hearts might think that Jonathan's death was related to What does it matter to him?

This guess is not impossible, but very likely.

As everyone knows.

The Federation does not have a dedicated historian, so the Federation has no official history, only unofficial history.

Unofficial history is not necessarily correct, but it is definitely wild enough.

Lincoln the Vampire Hunter is a prime example.

Therefore, Locke was very sure that once he took over the position of state operations director, the rumor that Jonathan was assassinated by him would spread like wildfire the next day.

And the most important point.

The "cleanup operation" that Director Andrew just mentioned.

He doesn't want to do it.

Locke joined the Sentinel Secret Service not only because he had a bitter grudge against mutants, but also not just for promotion and salary increase.

He joined the Sentinel Secret Service for the same reason.

Get a lot of extraordinary points.

Copy Duoduo’s variant abilities.

Of course, being the director of operations in Shangzhou can earn more extraordinary points, but as soon as he takes office, he must carry out "cleaning operations", which is not in line with Locke's main mission.

and……

It sounds like Jonathan, the former director of state operations, had a mutant wife.

Didn't he?

Locke had no doubt that once he came to power and really carried out this "cleaning operation" seriously, one night, someone would chop off his head with tears in his eyes, and then say: "My dear, I will save our children." Raised safely.”

This won't work.

He never had the idea of ​​​​eradicating mutants from beginning to end. He only benefited himself in the name of eradicating mutants.

But he couldn't really let go of this position.

He needs time.

On the one hand, acting indifferent can show to the outside world to the greatest extent that he does not want this state operations director. It is completely Director Andrew who insists on him.

Don't look at the fact that there are only three people in the office right now.

But this is Washington.

There are no secrets in Washington.

On the other hand, Locke said that he needs half a year to clean up internally.

Cleaning up is fake, procrastination is real.

Half a year was enough for him to evolve from having a certain ability to protect himself now to having more ability to protect himself.

Anyway, when he returns to New York City after the New Year, his next step is to go to William Stryker's mutant laboratory.

Once the mutant ability is copied, the next step is to upgrade it with a lot of extraordinary points.

Killing extraordinary creatures is not killing. There is no need to focus on killing mutants who are extremely risky and may even cause family conflicts.

If he kills vampires, werewolves, and demons, he can also earn extraordinary points.

Again.

Half a year is not short. Maybe after half a year, he will not need to take action. The mutants of the New York State Mutant Freedom Alliance will inexplicably leave New York State and run to other states.

Know that anything is possible.

Locke glanced at his beloved wife out of the corner of his eye, and then looked at Director Andrew with that expression.

For half a year, there is no negotiation. If you agree, I will take it. If you disagree, you can go to whoever you like. Anyway, I am not the person in charge of operations in this state.

really.

Director Andrew looked at Locke's unsparing expression and frowned.

"Three months?"

"Half a year."

"Four months?"

"Half a year."

"Can't we discuss it further?"

"No need to discuss."

"……OK."

Upon seeing this, Director Andrew thought for a while, nodded and agreed, then stood up, walked to his desk, picked up the file he just put on the table, walked over, and handed it to Locke.

"Take a look."

"What's this?"

Locke reached out to take the information and opened it directly.

Enter the eyes.

Thirteen bank vault thefts were reported in New York State.

In the past two years, a total of 13 bank vaults in New York State have encountered thieves, stealing a total of about 300 million in funds.

According to the investigation, these 13 banks all suffered in the same way.

There was no sign of an insider, nor was there any sign of anyone forcing the vault from the outside. It was as if someone suddenly appeared in the vault, rolled up the cash in the vault, and then disappeared again.

So the case was transferred to the New York City Sentinel Secret Service.

Locke had an impression of this case.

"I remember that it started with the theft of three Manhattan banks. The case was initially handled by Group 2, and then after the theft of the fourth bank occurred in the capital Albany, it was transferred to the State Operations Group."

Yes, the capital of New York State is not New York, but Albany.

Just like the capital of California is not Los Angeles, but Sacramento.

Director Andrew nodded.

"I also remember this case. I thought Jonathan had handled it, but I never thought it was still there."

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

"These materials were compiled by the sentinel overnight."

"It is very likely that this case involves the source of funds for the Mutant Freedom Alliance."

"This mutant who is suspected of teleporting is using this method to earn funds for the Mutant Freedom Alliance."

"So..."

Director Andrew pointed to the file in Locke's hand: "If we find this mutant, we will most likely be able to follow the clues to find the Mutant Freedom Alliance behind him. This case is handed over to you."

Locke raised his eyebrows: "Once again, I need half a year."

Director Andrew drank the wine in the glass and looked at Locke.

"It's up to you. Anyway, if there is a bank robbery next time, those bankers will only bother you, not me."

"..."

I don't think these people will do this.

They hope that the bank will be robbed. Anyway, these people have no moral integrity.

For bankers, a bank robbery is not a very annoying thing. On the contrary, they are more willing than anyone to see the robbers succeed and retreat.

After all, banks have insurance.

And...

For them, every robbery is a good opportunity to settle accounts or even make money.

Locke complained in his heart, then shrugged his shoulders, and without saying much, he closed the file and handed it to Esme beside him.

Esme subconsciously took the file, looked at the file in her hand, and blinked.

After Locke handed the file to Esme, he looked at Director Andrew who stood up and refilled his glass, and said curiously: "So this is why you asked me to come to your office to find you?"

After refilling the wine, Director Andrew turned around.

"Otherwise."

"I thought Nick Fury's case had a result."

"How is it possible."

Hearing this, Director Andrew shook his head and said: "It's a holiday, the negotiations are stagnant, and the result will probably come out after the holiday."

No one is really willing to work overtime.

Of course.

Except for real workaholics.

Anyway, the negotiators involved in the Nick Fury incident this time are unwilling to sacrifice their vacation time for Nick Fury.

So...

Take a vacation first, and wait until the working day if there is anything.

Nowadays, the death row prisoners in the prison are lined up for fifty years. You, Nick Fury, just colluded with aliens to try to commit treason. It is not a serious crime. Why are you in a hurry?

I know it.

Locke listened to Director Andrew's confirmation and said in his heart, but still asked curiously: "Is Nick Fury still with us now?"

Director Andrew shook his head: "No, the headquarters is all on vacation in the afternoon. If he is with us, who will take care of his three meals a day."

"Then he..."

"He was taken to the Quantico base for temporary custody. After all, the negotiations have not ended yet. He is still the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he still has to be decent. You can't really throw him into prison."

"Indeed."

Locke nodded and agreed with this statement.

Even if a big shot dies, he should die in a big way.

It doesn't matter if it's a small person.

Nick Fury, who lost the head of SHIELD, was a small person in name and reality at that time.

But now, Nick Fury is still a big person.

Go to Quantico to see him before the vacation is over.

Locke thought about it, and then asked Director Andrew about the progress of the negotiations.

Director Andrew smiled when he heard Locke asking about the progress: "In fact, if Alexander Pierce gave in earlier, it could be done before the holiday. After all, the Skrull is the most important."

Is Nick Fury important?

Maybe it's important to Alexander Pierce, but it's not important to the Sentinel Secret Service and Maria Hill.

The Skrulls and the so-called alien technology are the most important.

Locke raised his eyebrows.

"Did Alexander Pierce give in? He won't protect Nick Fury anymore?"

"I find it pretty amazing too."

Director Andrew also found it pretty amazing when he talked about this incident: "He was clearly trying to protect Nick Fury the last second, but then he went out to answer a phone call and changed his mind when he came back. His only requirement was that Nick Fury must not die."

"When did this happen?"

"Three days ago in the afternoon."

"..."
