The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

"Anyone from Langley got involved?"

"Yes, but, according to Langley, this agent used to be one of theirs, but was fired a year ago."

"Why am I not at all surprised by this explanation?"

"It's a Langley tradition."

Lake was on the phone with Maria Hill, laughed and shook his head.

For Langley, any agent is a throwaway asset, the only difference being when to throw it away.

Langley's agent appeared in this story. Although Langley said that the agent had been fired a year ago and was no longer theirs, no one would believe this statement.

After all, this is the Langley Tradition.

It's okay, he's our best agent.

Something went wrong, sorry, but the agent you mentioned may have been one of ours, but we've fired him.

What?

If you don't believe it, I'm sorry, whether you believe it or not, we believe it anyway.

"How did the military react?"

"Very angry."

There is no doubt that ordinary people will not believe Langley's rhetoric, let alone the military that has dealt with Langley the most. If the military believes it, then the military is completely deceived.

Hill said thoughtfully: "But... Langley doesn't seem to be lying this time."

Lake came back to his senses, and raised his eyebrows after listening to the words on the phone: "How do you say?"

Hill said: "When the military questioned Langley, after confirming who the agent in the photo was, Langley was very cooperative and let their best liaison agent Mandy fly from Quantico with a full set of information overnight. Arrived at the Afghan base to cooperate with my investigation."

"Mandy?"

"By the way, this Mandy seems to be your woman too?"

"Ha ha."

Lake listened to Hill's words, smiled without saying a word, touched his chin, and held the phone: "What did Mandy say?"

"Like Langley's rhetoric, at least in Langley's system, this agent has been fired."

"interesting."

"I think so too."

As I said before, in the field of agents and killers, especially organized agents and organized killers, there are only two ways to get out. Either you pass the level, or you lie down and go out, other than that , there is no third possibility.

This Langley agent turned out to be fired through normal procedures?

The more I listened to this, the more I felt that Langley didn't even plan to act. It felt like he didn't care about the military at all and just gave up an excuse. Believe it or not.

"What is the reason for dismissal?"

"cancer."

"..."

Lake listened to this sentence, recovered, and smiled: "That's a relatively acceptable reason."

An agent suffering from cancer, Langley, for the sake of his many years of hard work for the organization, is very likely to be kind enough to let him leave temporarily.

but……

Langley didn't do anything wrong here, absolutely no one would believe it.

After all, a dismissed Langley agent could show up in an Afghan military base without the support of Langley himself, hehe, Lake would dare to chop off his own head.

Hill on the other end of the phone thought the same way.

so……

After Mandy arrived at the Afghanistan base overnight, he took Langley's authorization and directly arrested a team of Langley agents stationed there.

After a day and night of friendly interrogation, Mandy walked out of the interrogation room, took off his blood-stained and crusted disposable surgical gloves, and handed the interrogation information directly to Hill.

Not only the personnel of the Afghan military base were infiltrated by the Merrick Biomedical Group, but even the Langley agents here seemed to be unable to hold back because Merrick gave too much.

Agent Langley brought the agent named Kepley into the military base, who had cancer and was fired, and then Langley forged a command order, and Agent Kpley took this order with him , and then openly let Agent Kepley take people out of the base.

Because the dark-skinned Neil Lane is only a sergeant, and the Langley agent who came here is an acquaintance, plus it is a genuine headquarters paper, so by accident, the dark-skinned Neil Lane Just got taken out.

Lake touched his chin: "Speaking of which, I can understand that a Langley agent has been eroded, but a group of Langley agents, good guy, are these agents newly trained by Langley?"

Are you not afraid of Langley's internal family law?

The military treats traitors vigorously and resolutely.

Langley's way of dealing with traitors is still higher than the military, so even if Langley sends out traitors, they will come out one by one, this time directly out of a nest?

good guy.

This year's Langley has set another invincible record.

"We are investigating this matter."

Maria Hill said so, if Langley's side asked three questions, the military would be very angry, but Langley's side had a case, and the military side would not be angry.

After all, compared with the case in Langley, the military felt that someone was worse than me.

Lake raised his eyebrows, thinking of Maria Hill's current location in London, and said with a smile, "So, this time, you went directly to London, and are you ready to come to the door to ask the guilt?"

Locating London, the coordinates show that it is also a secret Langley base.

It's obvious.

The military and Langley have reached an agreement that you, Merrick Biopharmaceutical Group, can do this and yearn for our federation. Well, then we will send someone to invite you to the federation to have a face-to-face chat.

Hill frowned and shook his head: "Yes, no."

Lake was curious again.

Hill came to London this time, and the purpose of coming here was the same as what Lake had guessed, that is, he planned to come to the door late at night and invite Dudley Dursley, the president of Merrick, to return to the Commonwealth as a guest.

But a few days ago, Maria Hill ran to a small city in France.

"I may have found it."

"..."

Lake listened to Hill's words in a somewhat lowered voice, and raised his eyebrows: "Your clan?"

When Hill went to the base in Afghanistan, didn't he want to find out the truth about her mother by finding the descendants of Midgards like her? Now that Hill said he found it, there is no doubt that this is it.

Hill hummed: "Yes, and it's not one person, but them?"

"they?"

"right."

On the day Mandy arrived at the Afghan base with the information, the pickup truck carrying Nair Lane was found 50 kilometers away from the base.

But the pickup truck was lying on the side of the road. According to the traces at the scene and the two bodies with Langley IDs found on their bodies, it seems that someone took Neil Lane away first.

Five days ago, the global satellite surveillance system photographed a disguised but unmistakable Neil Lane in a city in France.

but……

When the special forces took off and landed and rushed to the place there, there was no doubt that it was a picture of a battle experience, and the trace was still bloody. After some investigation, soon, a ship from the Merrick creature in London The group's private jet took off from the city's suburban airport back to London.

Maria Hill immediately rushed to the London side first and sat down at Langley's secret base. Then, the Duke of the Special Forces and others also arrived.

"How many days ago?"

When Lake knew that Hill said that she had arrived in London four days ago, he said curiously, "Get a Merrick back, the military Langley joint operation, can't it be done in four days?"

"This Dudley Dursley seems to be on the alert."

Maria Hill said: "Three days ago, when Langley dispatched elite agents to inspect his villa in advance, this Dudley Dursley returned directly to the Merrick creature before Langley's inspection was over. The Pharmaceutical Group Building, in the past few days, did not leave the Merrick Biopharmaceutical Group Building, and even the stronghold we settled in earlier was broken by MI6."

Langley has a secret base in London, and MI6 also has a secret base in Washington. This is a tacit understanding. Neither Langley nor MI6 took the initiative to find each other. Under normal circumstances, they will only go when there are clues sent to the door. Warm home delivery.

obviously.

Their initial destination was reported to MI6.

And the whistleblower...

"The signal is sent from the Biopharmaceutical Group Building."

"Good guy."

Lake couldn't help but said, "Does this guy have other rebels in Langley?"

"Langley has activated the emergency plan, and has fully recalled the agents on the London side. Yesterday, the authority of all London Langley agents was frozen."

"Poor Langley."

The secret base was reported, and there is no doubt that it was either accidentally exposed or leaked, but either way, this was unacceptable to Langley's headquarters.

"I suspect there is something odd about this Dudley Dursley."

"eccentric?"

Hill said that at the beginning, a Langley agent who did not have any potential to reveal his identity came to the door in disguise, and that Langley agent was only scanning the periphery of Dudley Dursley's manor. There was no contact or no contact at all, but Dudley Dursley actually sensed something was wrong and hid inside his company, not coming out.

Does it feel like a prophet?

Lake raised his eyebrows, looked at the calendar, thought about it, and said, "Do you need someone from the Super Investigation Bureau to help you?"

Hill smiled, and then declined: "I have special forces here, and Langley agents, and the military and Langley are planning to use this matter to be ashamed."

Lake nodded: "Okay, if you need my help, just speak up. After all, the executive director of the Super Investigation Bureau has been in the field for a long time, and the impact is not very good."

Hill watched Agent Anna, who was knocking on the door and notified her of something, thanked Lake and hung up the phone.
