While Luke's main body was living peacefully in New York, his level-one clone avatar, Joker, was "touring" Europe with Dr. Haley.
Haley hadn't been able to alert him before, and had only been investigating covertly. She had found some traces of Whitehall in Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
Compared with Haley's academic hypnosis, Luke's superpower hypnosis was violent.
Most of the time, he only needed to stay near a target for a few minutes to obtain the information he wanted.
He learned from Whitehall's subordinates that Haley's intelligence was slightly out of date.
Half a year ago, Whitehall had disappeared with a few of his trusted subordinates, and the remaining personnel in the three countries had gone into daily hiding mode.
Luke didn't kill these people, because they had no memory of him leaking Hydra's secrets.
Besides, the abilities of this low-level Hydra were limited, and a "head" had to gather them. Without a commander, they wouldn't be able to cause too much trouble.
After he killed Whitehall, there might be other "heads" who would take over these low-level people.
At that time, Luke might be able to find clues about another "head."
…
Luke and Selina quickly traced the trail from the three Nordic countries to Austria, and from Austria to Lyon, France.
On a hillside on the outskirts of Lyon stood a luxurious French manor.
The spacious classical main building, the open and neat lawn, the appropriately dense woods, and the clear stream that flowed through the small ditch all revealed the extravagance of the manor's owner.
Luke and Haley were disguised as a rich couple. With polite smiles on their faces, they listened to the woman in front of them give them the information they wanted. "I'm sorry, Werner left a while ago because he had something to attend to. Why are you looking for him? "
Luke didn't say anything. In any case, this lady called Stephanie Malick was already under the influence of pheromones.
The female doctor was very good at communication, and she would answer as long as they didn't ask anything too sensitive.
Ten minutes later, the two of them drove away from the manor.
Watching the manor's carved iron gate close in the rearview mirror, Haley turned around and asked, "This Malick family has a big secret. Why didn't you let me ask that woman more questions?"
Luke turned the steering wheel lazily, and the car moved smoothly along the winding mountain road. "We have to figure out the problem slowly. If we scare away the" players "at the beginning, the game won't be fun."
Haley blinked. "Really? Gideon Malick is a former member of the World Security Council. He's not to be trifled with. "
Luke glanced at her. "So?"
The female doctor leaned over, put her arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "It's so exciting to play games with such a big shot."
Luke said, "That's right. is indeed an interesting person."
The Malik family was one of the ancient families in Europe. It was said that they had a history of more than a thousand years. They had a complicated network of family interests in various European countries.
It had the same problems as a big family: there were many factions, and the family had many interests.
But there was a Family Malick Malick., one, there, one., one.
"Insight" York City Had York, Had, one, Malick had, and One Family Had York, and had, York, Had, and one Family, and had York. York Two.
Seven Six, York Home Home York Family, one, one, one,, Gi, Jack Long, Gi, Gi, York, and Six,
One, one, York, and Se, Wang, had,,,, Hal, Hal, and, York, Si,
To put it more accurately, there were too many suspicious people like Gideon, and there was no value in investigating them.
The Malick family's base was in Europe, and his withdrawal was more like the American government had forced Europe to take the blame.
The American government didn't feel any psychological burden doing this, and could even muddy the waters to share the pressure.
Luke, on the other hand, had found Whitehall and Gideon by accident.
In Austria, Luke had found out that Whitehall had met a young man named Werner von Streck.
When they met, Bakshi, Whitehall's right-hand man, seemed to be familiar with this Werner.
Why would a young man be familiar with Whitehall, a reclusive bigshot of Hydra, and his men? That was an interesting question.
Whitehall was nowhere to be found. Luke checked Werner's background in passing, and found that the tycoon was protected by a few Hydra spies.
Their leader, however, was Baron Straker.
The Hydra members were protecting Werner because he was the baron's son.
This baron was the leader of one of Hydra's "heads."
He was the one who had stolen Loki's scepter from Tony and created Walter and Pietro.
Unfortunately, Baron Straker was very scheming and scientific, but he wasn't very lucky.
Tony had taken all the Avengers out to snatch the scepter back in Sokovia, and when he charged in, he had killed him with a single shot.
It wasn't until after the battle that the tycoon realized that he had killed the mastermind who had stolen the scepter.
After the baron's death, Young Master Werner, who hadn't participated in Hydra's affairs, was left with only part of his father's inheritance.
It wasn't to say that he was down and out, but at most, he could only be a small tycoon who didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
At that moment, Werner suddenly started to hang out with Stephanie Malick.
On the surface, the two of them had known each other since they were young, and were indeed family friends.
But there were three to five hundred people who had known Stephanie since she was young, and Werner was just one of them.
Luke noticed the Malick family because of Werner, and only then did he realize that the father and daughter had been in private contact with Baksey, one of Whitehall's subordinates.
At this point, most of Luke's attention had already shifted from Whitehall to the Malick family.
Whether or not this family was Hydra was another matter, but when Luke touched Stephanie just now, the system showed that she had a red name.
This young lady of the Malick family was in the news from time to time.
In the news, she was passionate about public welfare, actively volunteering, advocating for environmental protection, animal protection, equal rights for women, and so on.
She did good deeds every day, but her red name only proved that those "good deeds" didn't live up to their name.
More importantly, red names weren't protected by the system.
Thinking that, Luke curled his lips into an evil smile. "Let's go back and make preparations. We need a more suitable identity. When the time comes, we'll invite this young lady and her father to have a good 'game.' "
Haley let out a drawn-out laugh. "No problem. I'll design a wonderful level this time. This young lady will definitely be moved to tears."
After the two of them left, Stephanie left the guest room and went to the small garden behind the main building. "Dad, I've seen off those two friends of Werner's."
An old man with white hair and a square face turned around and nodded. "Okay. Find out why they came here later."
