The extraordinary life of a certain American comic

Poor old Underwood.

wrong.

You should also know that Gideon Malik must have backup on hand.

so……

This explains another problem.

That's why Underwood Sr. was looking forward to rekindling his relationship with Stephanie when he heard "Gideon Malik" say that Stephanie didn't mind him getting married.

At first, Rock thought Underwood Sr. was interested in Malik's donation.

It turns out there is such a purpose.

It is impossible to become a son and daughter's in-laws in name only, but becoming a son and daughter's in-laws in fact is stronger than a nominal one.

Once this is done, will Gideon Malik still talk about this dirty information?

That's what Frank Underwood had in mind.

This old man still planned to sell him.

Locke's thoughts were spinning, he couldn't help but shook his head, and then turned over the black information about Frank in his hand.

moment.

A photo came into view.

The next second.

Snap!

Locke seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying. He closed the documents almost subconsciously, and then looked up at Gideon.

Gideon, who was sitting on a chair, took a sip of bourbon, looked at Locke's expression at this moment, and smiled slightly.

"Why don't you look at it? Doesn't it look good?"

"hehe."

Locke twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Gideon: "How many people have seen this thing?"

Gideon is also very candid.

"I, Walker, old Underwood."

"Where's the guy who dug up the dirt, and the guy who took the photos."

"Dead."

"Walker said it, is it true? I don't believe it."

"I sent someone to do it."

"Then I believe it."

"Ha ha."

When Gideon heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and then looked at Locke with curiosity: "I think, with your wisdom, you actually know this matter."

Locke looked at Gideon expressionlessly: "I know, but seeing the light is another matter."

Gideon nodded, said "Yes", and then said: "Don't worry, what you have is the final backup, and Walker won't have it. As for the negatives and so on, they are all in there."

"I know," Locke said.

When he just received the information, he saw the negatives placed inside.

Locke was speechless.

Why do people in this country choose to take pictures and record them even though they know they are doing something that cannot be exposed?

Is this stuff that fun?

If so, why has he never done this before?

Not to mention the video, he dared to take a picture of his chest and said that there is absolutely no photo in his mobile phone that will immediately get a 404 when sent.

While thinking about it, Locke stood up, walked to Gideon's desk, then picked up the windproof lighter used to light cigars on the desk, and lit the information in his hand directly.

The flames soared into the sky, burning the black material in his hand into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

quite a while.

Just when the flames were about to burn Locke's fingers, Locke let go of his right hand. When the flames fell to the ground and went out, the information had been burned completely.

Gideon watched this scene quietly until the information was burned and Locke sat back down and then said aloud: "I thought you would take this information home to Frank."

Locke glanced at Gideon.

"That's what I would do if he was the only one in the photo."

"Understood."

Gideon heard this and nodded: "So you love your mother more than your father."

Locke looked at Gideon with a smile.

"Don't you love your mother?"

"like."

"Me too."

"But this is the only flaw you have exposed so far."

"You can try."

Locke listened to Gideon's words and looked at Gideon with a bright smile: "But I can give you the answer now. I am not subject to any threats. I will kill if I want, but after killing, you will die a lot. People, lots of them.”

Still the same sentence.

Death is not the end. You should go to hell to rest for a while. When the time is up, if hell takes the initiative to hand over everything to you, if hell doesn't take the initiative, it will let hell take the initiative to hand over people.

Gideon watched the expression on Locke's face carefully.

"I believe you."

"Thanks."

"But I'm curious, if that's not why you came to my daughter, then what is your reason for?"

"It's very simple."

Locke faced Gideon directly: "When I broke up with Tiffany before, I couldn't protect her. I could only protect myself, so I broke up. But now, no matter what happens to you, I can protect her."

Gideon smiled again at this excuse.

"Protect?"

"You don't even know how powerful we are now, so why do you think you can protect..."

"call out!"

Gideon's eyes narrowed as he watched Locke's afterimage disappear on his seat.

The next second.

Gideon froze, hearing breathing from behind.

Locke poked his head out from behind Gideon and put one hand on Gideon's shoulder. Feeling that Gideon was a little stiff at the moment, Locke smiled, and then used his other hand to open Gideon's right hand. drawer and took out the loaded pistol inside.

Gideon slowly turned around and looked at Locke who took out the pistol and then pointed the gun at him.

He didn't say anything.

Just as he said before, he didn't say any words of begging for mercy after being kidnapped by the Skrulls.

Locke didn't intend to shoot Gideon, but looked at Gideon, then turned the gun, and then slowly pointed the gun at his head under Gideon's gaze.

Gideon looked at this scene with a frown.

"The martial arts in the world are invincible!"

"Bang!"

"Only speed can't be broken!"

"Clang!"

Accompanied by the smell of gunpowder, the bullet was ejected instantly, but at the moment of ejection, it was clamped by two fingers.

At the moment of clamping, a sound similar to metal collision was made.

Gideon's eyes shrank again.

Locke held the bullet in front of his eyes and looked at it, then put the bullet on Gideon's desk and chuckled.

Whoosh!

Gideon subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, Locke had returned to his original seat.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

Locke looked at Gideon with a smile, picked up the bourbon beside him and took a sip.

"Based on my position of strength, I can protect Tiffany."

"..."

Gideon came back to his senses from the shock and looked at Locke with deep eyes.

Locke smiled and said:

"You don't have to force me to get on board."

"I won't do anything I don't want to do, no matter how much you say it."

"But I know what kind of responsibility I have to take if I want Stephanie."

"I broke up with Tiffany because I knew I couldn't take this responsibility."

"So I broke up."

"Now I'm back because I know I can take this responsibility."

"But the way I use it is not the way you want."

"Gideon, you can help me as a backup."

"I won't participate in any of your affairs, and I won't even stop Tiffany from participating."

"Because this is her responsibility, I can't really replace her and take this responsibility."

"Even if I want to, you won't believe it."

"I'm a son-in-law, so my responsibility is to be a good son-in-law and protect this family."

"What do you think, Gideon."

"..."

Gideon didn't speak, his eyes were drooping, and his eyes were flickering.

After Locke finished speaking, he didn't urge him.

Anyway, he had made it very clear.

Hydra, you can do whatever you want, I don't care, and I won't even stop Stephanie.

The only thing I can guarantee is to protect this home.

His and Stephanie's home.

So...

If Gideon still can't accept it after he has made it so clear, then he has no other choice.

There is only one left.

Run away with Stephanie.

But this is a last resort.

Locke doesn't want to use it either.

Fortunately, the worst situation has not been discovered.

After lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, Gideon looked up at Locke again: "The last question."

No question means acquiescence.

Locke listened to Gideon's words, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he smiled again and looked at Gideon.

"Please speak."

"Why do you think we are doomed to fail again? You don't even know how powerful we are now."

"I don't need to know."

"Hmm?"

"I only know..."

Locke paused here, then looked at Gideon: "When have you ever seen a company started by multiple people come to the stage of successful listing."

Gideon was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"No."

"I'm done."

Locke smiled and spread his hands.

The most taboo thing for a startup company is that there can't be multiple partners, because this will lead to inefficient decision-making, unclear responsibilities and powers, complex distribution of benefits, and different business concepts.

And these fatal weaknesses, Hydra has made one by one.

Gideon was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally sighed and looked at Locke.

"Okay, I won't let you join again, but Tiffany, you can't interfere, after all, you are married."

"I understand."

Locke smiled slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Then are we considered family?"

"...Yes."

Locke's heart moved, and he looked at Gideon who said that he was considered family.

Gideon then laughed, and then looked at Locke: "Since you are also considered family, then, can I ask for your opinion?"

Locke glanced at Gideon and did not agree immediately.

"You go first."

"Let Nick Fury go. Maybe you don't know that SHIELD is also ours, but the foundation of all this is based on Nick Fury being the director of SHIELD, not Maria Hill taking office."

"..."
