Once Garrett died, his identity in S.H.I.E.L.D. would naturally be revoked, but his hidden forces wouldn't disappear immediately.
For example, Luke had already found the high-tech prosthetic research center where the Clairvoyant system was located. At that moment, his level-one clone was openly walking in under Garrett's "skin."
Infiltration and assassination? No way.
Why did it have to be so troublesome for the boss to enter his own business?
This system was the easiest and most convenient to control.
Garrett had never exposed his true identity to anyone under the Clairvoyant's control. "Clairvoyant" was just an ID that issued orders remotely.
So, all Luke needed to do was get all the data from the Clairvoyant system and make preparations to send the research director to meet God.
This guy was also on the red evil side, and killing him would be a good amount of experience and credit points.
As for Garrett's subordinates in S.H.I.E.L.D., they could move freely for the time being.
Garrett was the only controller of this "snake head." These people couldn't contact the other "snake heads" even if they wanted to betray him. That was how tight his control was.
Luke had replaced him, so he naturally became the new "snake head."
For that reason, Garrett absolutely couldn't be confirmed dead. It wouldn't be fun to switch with a dead person.
Nobody could've imagined that Garrett had been captured by Luke a few days ago.
The only time he showed his face was when a Level One avatar appeared in his appearance. Ward was captured two days later than the others.
During this time, Luke had used all sorts of methods to dig out all their secrets. Naturally, there was no need to keep them alive anymore.
Of the three guests in the "game stream," Hill was the only one who was captured that night, and then "delivered" to Pennsylvania through Space 2.
In fact, no matter how much Garrett and Walter struggled, they could only fight over who would die first.
Hill, on the other hand, was the real guest that had been specially selected. She would definitely be the one to survive.
Thus, when Walter would rather die with Hill than press the button first, Luke simply pressed the button for him with his psychic powers.
Besides, this wasn't a game, but an act.
The rules of the game didn't matter at all, as long as the outcome was as expected.
Thinking of this, he felt a heavy burden on the back of his head.
Max said lazily, "Okay, Han asked me to get off work early today. Hmm, what do you want for supper tonight? "
It was only because Luke's Strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person's that he wasn't overwhelmed. He said with a smile, "I think you mentioned something about strawberry cream cake last time?"
Max asked subconsciously, "Where can we find strawberries now?"
Now was not the season for strawberries. If they were out of season, they would have to go to the supermarket to buy strawberries. The supermarket would be closed at night.
Luke smiled. "Think about it."
Only then did Max remember what they had discussed about strawberry cream last time. He couldn't help but look down. "Then, the cream has to be fresh too?
Luke nodded frankly. "Yes."
Max pressed her bright and plump lips to his ear and continued to ask in a low voice, "Eat, eat a big piece. Is two enough?"
Luke said, "That's enough. Thanks."
Max chuckled. "Okay, we'll do it when we get home."
Luke asked, "Well, you don't need to clean anymore?"
Max placed his hands on Luke's shoulders and placed the heavy burden on him. "I promised Carolyn to get a new shower head. It's said that there are 18 types of water flow. She'll definitely enjoy it."
Luke was amused. "Okay, shall we set off now?"
Max nodded. She had already changed into her clothes and was carrying her bag. She was just waiting to go home.
Luke reached out and pulled her onto his back. Then, he grasped the right part and lifted her up.
Max burst out laughing and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Then, Luke carried her out of the fast food restaurant.
Old Earl and Luke gestured goodbye at the cashier, and he didn't forget to sigh. "Ah, this is the taste of youth. The smoke rises, and the velvety touch … "
Carolyn was nearby. She also waved goodbye to Luke and Selina, but her expression was a little like a lemon.
Hearing that, she raised her hand to indicate that there was a problem. "Wait, Earl, how old were you in this scene of youth?"
Old Earl recalled. "Well, about forty years ago. Back then, I was still a cool and handsome man."
Forty years ago, you were already in your thirties. Youth my ass! Also, this was clearly the memoir of a middle-aged man in high spirits! Carolyn rolled her eyes and went to clean up.
In order to get a new shower head, she had to clean up before she got off work today. Thankfully, Han Hui drove her home on the way.
This also meant that Max's house was rarely just for the two of them.
Thus, this time, Luke finally experienced what it meant to be overwhelmed and to endure a heavy burden.
As the saying went, the path was long, and one had to search high and low.
It was only one o 'clock when Max fell asleep, and Carolyn still hadn't gotten off work.
Luke put on his hoodie and casually made a cake in the living room.
In comparison, CEO Jenny was extremely busy, and Elena was more free, but her stamina was average, and she liked to immerse herself in her own creations.
Max was the only one who was energetic and had excellent stamina. She was good at her job as a waitress, and her only focus was on the cake business.
So, as long as Luke finished his cake-making mission, she wouldn't have to get up early.
After eating the strawberry cream cake, she naturally had to have a smaller cake.
Luke relaxed at that moment, and the small impulse he had when he was pretending to be Jeff completely dissipated.
It had to be said that doing evil was part of human nature.
Of course, it might not have been evil at first, but just an impulse to destroy, just like how many people liked to smash things to vent their anger.
Luke had good control in this regard, but in the end, he was too unlucky.
He had cleaned up a bunch of bad guys after the bumper harvest in Mexico and the tour down south.
He needed a channel to adjust his emotions.
Although it was a little heartless, Max had indeed played that role.
She was more carefree and didn't care much about the things that other people cared about.
She wasn't broad-minded, but she recovered even faster when she was angry.
In particular, as long as Luke was willing to show off his muscles and strike a few classic fitness poses, she would immediately soften.
After all, apart from being elusive and not being too clingy, there was nothing else to complain about.
Of course, Luke had given her even more compensation, but she didn't know it.
For example, Luke was Max's current landlord.
Not long after he met Max, he had bought the house on the ground floor from the original landlord at a premium.
Then, he had asked a home improvement company in Clinton to "maintain" this dilapidated house, which was so old that its teeth were falling out.
During the maintenance period, Max and Carolyn temporarily moved into another house next door, which Luke had also secretly bought.
After the maintenance was completed, the moment Max moved back, she cursed, which was something along the lines of, "Did that idiotic landlord's head get gnawed by a pig?"
That was because her impression of the landlord was that apart from being obsessed with collecting rent on time, he wouldn't reply to any maintenance or troublesome matters.
Why would such a landlord come to maintain the house? There was no other explanation other than that he was crazy.
