Inside Stark Tower!
"Damn it, I didn't expect them to actually come!"
Watching several Lizardmen break in, Tony Stark raised his hand, and a palm energy cannon immediately blasted out.
After one Lizardman was sent flying by the energy released from the armor, the other Lizardmen threw various precision instruments at Tony Stark.
Tony Stark shattered the instruments thrown at him without hesitation.
When he saw that the target of those Lizardmen was the anti-Lizardmen serum, Tony immediately stood in front of them and fought them.
"Sir, another larger Lizardman is climbing towards the roof of Stark Tower.
According to our analysis, it should be Kurt Connors!"
"What?"
While entangled with several Lizardmen, Tony Stark said, "Damn it, Lynn really hit the nail on the head."
"Sir, Kurt Connors has mutated gas in his possession.
If the mutated gas is released, I'm afraid everyone in Manhattan will turn into Lizardmen!"
"It's just that I don't understand why it has to come to the roof of Stark Tower when it could choose other places to release the mutated gas."
Casually throwing a Lizardman away, Tony Stark, hearing Jarvis's confusion, said, "Who cares?
Since Kurt Connors has appeared, immediately inform Lynn."
Just as he spoke, a terrified sound came from inside Stark Tower, and then dozens of Lizardmen swarmed into the laboratory!
"Damn it, Jarvis, release the anesthetic gas!"
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing Tony Stark's command, the sprinklers on the laboratory ceiling immediately released a high concentration of anesthetic.
The Lizardmen who inhaled the high-concentration anesthetic gas gradually slowed down their movements, swaying as they tried to rush forward, but soon fell to the ground!
"Jarvis, how much longer for the serum?"
"The serum has been completed and is undergoing mist conversion.
Oh no, Sir, another Lizardman has rushed into Pepper's office and taken her to the roof!"
Hearing Jarvis say this, Tony Stark immediately panicked.
"FUXX!"
After cursing, Tony Stark immediately rushed outside and closed the laboratory door: "Jarvis, increase the concentration of anesthetic gas in the laboratory tenfold to prevent any Lizardmen from breaking in!"
"Understood!"
As soon as Tony left, the anesthetic gas in the laboratory instantly became so dense it seemed to turn into mist.
On the rooftop of the building.
"Tony Stark!"
Looking at Tony Stark flying up in his armor, Kurt Connors held the mutated gas in one hand and Pepper Potts in the other.
"Damn it, let go of Pepper!"
Listening to Tony's roar, Kurt Connors said, "Your biggest mistake was getting involved with the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
"Tony, you are also a genius, you should know that humans need to evolve, and Lizardmen are the most perfect result of human evolution!"
Listening to Dr. Curt Connors, Tony Stark raised his hand, and a palm energy cannon immediately aimed at his head.
"I'll say it again, give me back my Pepper!"
Facing Tony Stark's threat, Dr. Curt Connors was not afraid, his huge tail wrapped around Pepper Potts: "Hand over the anti-Lizardmen serum, Tony Stark, otherwise your beloved woman will become a cold corpse!"
Watching Dr. Curt Connors's tail wrap around Pepper's neck, Pepper's breathing gradually became difficult, and even her cheeks turned red and purple.
"Hey, don't be impulsive, calm down!"
Seeing this, Tony quickly raised both hands: "I can give you whatever you want, just don't hurt her!"
"Hand over the anti-Lizardmen serum."
Loosening the tail wrapped around Pepper's neck, he looked at Pepper Potts, who was breathing heavily.
Kurt Connors said, "Having you create the anti-Lizardmen serum was indeed Lynn Hall's smartest choice."
"But he overlooked that you also have a weakness."
"Don't blame me, Tony Stark, when this World becomes a Lizardmen kingdom, you will know how wise your compromise was!"
"Now, no tricks, immediately hand over the anti-Lizardmen serum!"
"Alright!"
Stepping back, Tony Stark said, "The anti-Lizardmen serum is being made and is about to be completed.
I'll stop the experimental procedure now.
"As long as you don't hurt Pepper, then..."
As soon as his voice fell, Tony Stark suddenly looked up at the sky.
Attracted by Tony's movement, Dr. Curt Connors also subconsciously looked up.
Seeing nothing in the clear blue sky, Dr. Curt Connors was about to speak when, the next second, a cold light appeared from behind him!
"Crack!"
A crisp sound rang out, and the next second, Dr. Curt Connors's huge tail was directly severed by Lynn!
Almost at the same time, Tony Stark controlled his armor to fly over and embrace Pepper.
The palm energy cannon also sent the screaming Dr. Curt Connors flying!
"Are you alright, Pepper!"
Looking at Pepper, who was tightly gripping his armor, Tony quickly opened the armor and asked.
"I'm fine, oh my god..."
Seeing Pepper, who was still a bit shaken, Tony finally felt a little relieved, then looked up at Lynn, who was holding a long saber, and said, "Lynn, you're late!"
Hearing Tony say this, Lynn shook the blood of Dr. Curt Connors from the long saber: "Not too late.
Joey told me Kurt Connors appeared in Manhattan, and I rushed over!"
As soon as Lynn finished speaking, Natasha, piloting a Kun-style Fighter Jet, appeared on the other side of Stark Tower.
The fire button was pressed, and the next second, dense bullets attacked Dr. Curt Connors.
Countless bullets tore his skin and flesh, and Dr. Curt Connors subconsciously raised his arm to protect his head, but the bottle containing the mutated gas in his hand also dropped directly.
Dr. Curt Connors, noticing the mutated gas had fallen, tried to pick it up, but the long saber in Lynn's hand suddenly swung out, its sharp blade directly severing Dr. Curt Connors's right hand!
"Ah!!!"
He wailed loudly, clutching his severed right hand, while Lynn instantly teleported to snatch the bottle.
On the Kun-style Fighter Jet.
Watching Lynn hand the bottle containing the mutated gas to Tony Stark.
Natasha, piloting the Kun-style Fighter Jet, said, "Tony, I'm not planning anything from you this time!"
"Also, you can let Pepper in.
Don't worry, I'll protect her!"
Hearing Natasha say this, Tony looked at Pepper and said, "Pepper, go wait for me inside the Kun-style Fighter Jet.
Don't worry, Lynn and I will handle all of this!"
"Be careful."
Knowing that staying here would hinder the upcoming battle, Pepper exhorted Tony, then ran towards the Kun-style Fighter Jet.
Controlling his armor, he returned to the roof of Stark Tower.
Tony Stark looked at Dr. Curt Connors, who was clutching his severed arm, but whose tail was already gradually growing back, and said, "Connors, your plan has failed!"
Dr. Curt Connors ignored Tony Stark's words.
His cold pupils looked at the long saber on the ground that had severed his arm, then he looked up and stared intently at Lynn.
【Kurt Connors's favorability: -9】
Disrupting his plan, thwarting all his schemes, severing his tail, and even making him taste the pain of losing an arm once again!
These things combined made Dr. Curt Connors hate Lynn to the bone.
Those cold Lizard eyes seemed to want to devour Lynn alive!
"Tony, I'll handle this guy.
The situation in Brooklyn is still deteriorating, so it's up to you!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Tony Stark nodded: "Be careful."
With that, Tony controlled his armor and flew back into the building!
"Lynn Hall!"
Angrily roaring at Lynn, Dr. Curt Connors raised his claw, full of sharp nails, and heavily clawed at Lynn!
Facing Dr. Curt Connors's huge claw, Lynn instantly teleported behind Dr. Curt Connors.
A heavy punch landed on Dr. Curt Connors's back, and a powerful kick sent Dr. Curt Connors flying several meters away!
Before he could land, Lynn instantly teleported onto him again, his fists turning into a storm of blows on Dr. Curt Connors's body.
Each punch from those powerful fists caused the bones inside Dr. Curt Connors's body to crack.
"Oh my god."
Natasha, piloting the Kun-style Fighter Jet, saw this and immediately said, "Fury, I think you need to update Lynn's file!"
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Watching the real-time footage transmitted from the Kun-style Fighter Jet, Nick Fury remained silent.
Watching the screen, whether Dr. Curt Connors used his sharp claws to grab at Lynn, or opened his gaping maw to bite Lynn with his mouthful of sharp teeth.
Every attack was easily neutralized by Lynn!
Even under Lynn's heavy punches, Dr. Curt Connors's massive body was like a weed ravaged by a storm, utterly incapable of fighting back.
Seeing this, Nick Fury said, "You're right, Natasha, Lynn's file indeed needs to be updated."
On the rooftop.
Even with Dr. Curt Connors's rapid self-healing ability, under Lynn's attacks, Dr. Curt Connors's old wounds hadn't healed, but new ones kept appearing!
"Bang!"
Lynn slammed him to the ground with a back throw, then stepped on Dr. Curt Connors, who was like a pile of mud, and said, "Kurt Connors, your plan has completely failed!"
As soon as Lynn finished speaking, Tony Stark flew back wearing his armor.
Hearing Lynn's words, Kurt Connors looked at the anti-Lizardmen serum mist, which contained blue gas.
"How does it feel, to have all your schemes fall apart?"
Saying that, Lynn walked to the side, pulled out the long saber stuck in the ground, and walked over.
Now, the anti-Lizardmen serum mist has been converted.
As long as the gas is injected into the launch pad, this Lizardmen disaster can be completely resolved!
Seeing this, Dr. Curt Connors slumped his head, but his voice was full of unwillingness: "One day, you will know I was right."
"One day, you will understand that humanity needs to evolve!"
Listening to Dr. Curt Connors's unwilling roar, Lynn stepped on his body and said, "Is that so?
Perhaps you are right, but you won't see that day!"
As his voice fell, Lynn swung his saber towards Dr. Curt Connors's head!
"Natasha, stop Lynn, Kurt Connors is important to S.H.I.E.L.D..."
Mid-sentence, Nick Fury suddenly paused.
Although he really wanted to bring Kurt Connors into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and obtain the mutated serum formula from him.
He suddenly realized that Lynn was from the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, not his subordinate!
Watching Lynn swing his saber and cut off Kurt Connors's head, Nick Fury closed the video.
【You killed Kurt Connors, whose favorability was -9, and gained a new skill 【Super Self-Healing】!】

Experience: 1387
Looking at the 'Super Self-Healing' ability that had appeared in the System Skill Bar, Lynn closed the System.
Unfortunately, the last upgrade was half a month ago, before the Hudson Hotel incident.
The experience was still not enough to upgrade the Super Self-Healing skill to LV2!
Currently, only Gwen, Uncle George, and Aunt Helen could provide him with experience; other Federal Bureau of Investigation subordinates with a favorability of 7 could only give a gift once a year.
It wasn't time for their gifts to refresh yet, and as for Polaris and the others, their favorability hadn't even reached 7!
Thinking of this, Lynn glanced at Tony Stark with a hint of helplessness.
How exactly could he increase this guy's favorability to 8?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lynn's somewhat "unfriendly" gaze, Tony Stark subconsciously took a step back and said, "Don't get any ideas about me, I already have Pepper!"
Lynn gave Tony Stark the middle finger, then turned to the Kun-style Fighter Jet and said, "Let's go, it's time to end this battle!"
When Lynn and his team returned to the streets of Brooklyn, the battle was still raging fiercely.
Many Military soldiers had died under the Lizardmen's sharp claws, and thousands of Lizardmen had been wounded by armor-piercing rounds.
"Tony!"
"No problem!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Tony Stark placed the launcher on the rooftop of a building in Brooklyn, then injected the anti-Lizardmen serum gas into it.
As the launcher released the gas, the next second, the gas reacted with the air and swept directly through the streets and alleys of Brooklyn.
On the ground, the Lizardmen that were continuously pouncing on the Military special agents instantly became sluggish after breathing the air.
Soon, their scales began to disappear, and their sharp claws and teeth slowly returned to normal.
Seeing this, Sean and Alice breathed a sigh of relief, then put down their firearms and looked up at Lynn and Tony Stark, who were standing on the rooftop.
"Sean, it's over. I knew the boss would definitely solve this incident!"
"Yeah, it's over..."
Sean slumped to the ground, threw away his gun, and suddenly started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing!"
Waving his hand weakly, Sean leaned against a wrecked car and said, "I just want to get some good rest for a few days now. Oh, by the way, do you have anything to eat?"
The Brooklyn Lizardmen Incident had come to an end, but its impact was far from over.
Online discussions about the Brooklyn incident were heated, with some conspiracy theorists even widely proclaiming it to be a secret experiment by the U.S. government.
Lynn, at this moment, did not care about the intense discussions online.
After taking a deep breath, Lynn pulled up his zipper and looked at Jessica, who had swallowed, "Still no news from your father?"
Hearing Lynn's question, Jessica picked up the water on the table and drank it all in one gulp: "At the very beginning of the Brooklyn Lizardmen Incident, my father suggested that once you resolved this matter, he would recommend you for the Deputy Director position."
"At that time, the Secretary of the Department of Justice and others had already tacitly agreed, but after the matter was truly over, some people within the Department of Justice, and even at FBI Headquarters, raised objections again."
"They believe that you can be given an award, but you are still too young for the Deputy Director position."
At this point, Jessica Miles smiled and said, "But don't worry, as long as you can get past Jeff Russell, then the Deputy Director position will be secure!"
"The Secretary of the Department of Justice? Is he coming to New York?"
Hearing Jessica say this, Lynn nodded, got up, and prepared to leave, but Jessica pulled him back.
"Is there anything else?"
"You got your satisfaction from my mouth, but what about me?"
Hearing Jessica say this, Lynn looked around, then picked up a pen holder and handed it to her, saying, "Jessica, the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans use tools."
"FUCK!"
Jessica threw the pen holder aside in annoyance, then got up and straightened Lynn's suit: "Think carefully about how to deal with Jeff Russell. My father will help with the Headquarters side."
Looking at Jessica, who was trying to act serious, Lynn pinched her upturned butt: "Do you need my help?"
"My fiancé is being transferred from Washington to New York, to serve as the Mayor of New York's legal advisor."
Hearing Jessica say this, Lynn understood her meaning.
"Your milk is white, but your heart is black."
Seeing that Lynn understood her meaning, Jessica tied his tie for him and said, "Aside from his family background, if his abilities in all other aspects were half of yours, I would be willing to follow him wholeheartedly!"
"Besides, I want to enter the White House in the future. If his path is too smooth, then even if I marry him, the family power behind him won't be poured into me!"
Hearing Jessica say this, Lynn nodded.
He and Jessica were allies, so helping her was also helping himself.
And dealing with people, this matter was simply too easy for Lynn.
Especially on his own turf in New York!
At the same time, in a luxurious Villa in the Bronx.
Watching the host and so-called experts on the TV broadcasting about the Brooklyn Lizardmen Incident from three days ago.
Looking at the video, where Lynn Hall was constantly mentioned, a burly middle-aged man picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
Turning around to look at the couple tied up with ropes, the middle-aged man picked up his phone and walked forward, then tore off the tape from the male Villa owner's mouth.
"Please, please don't hurt us, I beg you, whatever you want, I can give it to you, please don't hurt us."
Listening to the male Villa owner's plea, the middle-aged man took out a knife and cut the ropes binding him, then handed him the phone: "Call the Police, tell the Police what happened here!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the male owner waved his hands in fear: "I won't call the Police, don't worry, whatever you want, I won't call the Police, I promise..."
Before he could finish speaking, the dagger was pressed against his neck: "Either call the Police, or die!"
Looking at the middle-aged man's cold gaze, the male Villa owner trembling took the phone and dialed the emergency number.
Inside the Illuminati Base.
"Isn't the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation going to explain the Brooklyn Lizardmen Incident to the public?"
Leaning against Lynn, Gwen asked curiously.
"They should be announcing the investigation results of this matter to the media and the public."
Facing Gwen's curiosity, Lynn explained, "Originally, the press conference was scheduled for tomorrow, but the Secretary of the Department of Justice ordered a postponement. He plans to come in person to announce the investigation results of this incident to the public."
"The Secretary of the Department of Justice is coming in person?"
Hearing Lynn say this, Polaris and Laura, who were beside him, asked curiously, "You were the one who led the resolution of this incident, so why is the Secretary of the Department of Justice coming to hold a press conference? Does he want to steal your credit?"
Looking at Laura's indignant expression, Lynn smiled and said, "It's not about stealing credit. The main purpose should be to have a conversation with me."
"After all, this time, I led the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as the Military Special Services and other departments, to successfully resolve the Lizardmen incident."
"So whether I can take on the Deputy Director position depends on this conversation!"
As soon as they heard that Lynn was going to be promoted, everyone present felt happy for him.
Even Peter Parker, who had been a bit downcast, congratulated Lynn.
Gwen even wanted to celebrate tonight.
"We can't celebrate prematurely."
Lynn ruffled Gwen's head, then looked at Peter Parker and said, "Peter, we need to talk!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Peter Parker nodded.
On the rooftop of the Base's third floor.
"Now everyone knows about the existence of the Illuminati, and they also know that you and Gwen are members of the Illuminati."
Lynn watched Peter, who had his head down, like a child who had done something wrong and felt guilty.
Lynn smiled and said, "Thanks to what you and Gwen did in New York, plus the Illuminati's involvement in resolving the Brooklyn Lizardmen Incident this time."
"So the online reviews of the Illuminati are very high, and many people refer to the Illuminati as a superhero organization."
Hearing Lynn say this, Peter Parker looked up at Lynn: "I'm so sorry, Lynn. If I hadn't so easily trusted Professor Kurt Connors, it wouldn't have led to such serious consequences."
"I just... I just wanted to help Professor Connors complete his research on reptilian bio-gene regeneration at first, to help those with physical disabilities."
"But I didn't expect..."
"I know."
Looking at Peter Parker's remorseful expression, Lynn smiled gently and said, "I can feel your sincere self-reproach, believing that if it weren't for you, the disaster in Brooklyn wouldn't have happened, and there wouldn't have been so many casualties."
"But Peter, you have to know that what has already happened, no matter how much you blame yourself or feel guilty, you cannot change anything!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Peter Parker nodded.
He certainly knew that no matter how much he felt guilty, those who died in the disaster could not come back to life.
But for the past three nights, whenever he closed his eyes to sleep, Peter felt as if the deceased were staring at him.
"Peter, in this life, one faces countless choices. We cannot guarantee that every choice we make will be correct."
"But it's okay to make mistakes; you can just correct them."
At this point, Lynn patted Peter's shoulder: "Just like this time, instead of blaming yourself and feeling guilty here, it's better to go out and help more people in need."
"Don't worry, the disaster emergency department has already started assessing the disaster in Brooklyn."
"Various departments of the City Hall have also organized free treatment for those injured in the disaster."
"Businesses and charitable organizations have also donated to the affected people in Brooklyn. Whether they are injured or deceased, they will all receive proper arrangements."
Hearing Lynn say this, Peter Parker breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I've barely rested these past three days since the incident ended."
Placing his hand on the railing, Peter Parker talked to Lynn about his feelings over the past three days.
Listening to Peter Parker rambling, sometimes regretting, sometimes blaming himself, and sometimes even saying he wasn't in the mood for Mary Jane's date.
Lynn kept a smile throughout, offering comfort from time to time, which gradually relaxed Peter Parker's tense emotions.
【Peter Parker Favorability: 5】
Seeing Peter's favorability rise again, Lynn's smile became even gentler.
Indeed, for someone Peter's age, what he needed most wasn't someone telling him what to do.
Rather, it was to become the person he trusted most, someone he could confide in without reservation, and who could offer guidance and advice!
Slowly but surely, he would eventually become Peter Parker's life mentor.
Coming out of the Illuminati Base, Natasha was already leaning against Lynn's car, waiting for him!
"Are all of you S.H.I.E.L.D. agents so idle?"
Starting the car, Lynn looked at Natasha in the passenger seat and asked, "Didn't S.H.I.E.L.D. assign you a mission?"
"My biggest mission right now is to resolve the Hudson Hotel matter."
Looking at Lynn, Natasha said, "The Hudson Hotel case was one I took over from you, and then S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation team was completely wiped out after entering the Hudson Hotel."
"We absolutely must resolve this matter."
At this point, Natasha turned to Lynn, "Considering I also contributed to the Brooklyn incident, Lynn, I need your help."
"Put your leg down."
Lynn watched Natasha habitually rest her legs on the dashboard and said while driving, “How can you be so sure that I can solve this matter?”
“I don’t know!”
Natasha pulled her legs back and smiled, “Just a hunch. I just feel that if the Hudson Hotel really has devils, then you can definitely deal with them!”
As the two were talking, Lynn’s phone suddenly rang.
Picking up the phone and seeing it was Barbara, Lynn answered directly.
“Boss, something happened. Someone uploaded a video of Police officers being killed online, and there must be a promotion team behind the mastermind. The video is spreading incredibly fast!”
Hearing Barbara’s words, Lynn drove towards the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
“You heard it too, I have another case here.”
“You’re already a Director, do you still need to handle cases like this?”
“If it’s a particularly serious case, I usually take over.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Lynn said, “I can’t sit still dealing with documents in the office all day, and you know the current situation!”
Hearing Lynn say that, Natasha nodded, “That’s true. Jeff Russell, who manages the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is coming to New York soon. If a serious case like this pops up now, it will affect your chances of becoming Deputy Director!”
“Your information is quite well-informed!”
Inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Seeing Lynn return, Barbara immediately handed him a tablet.
“Boss, this morning, the Bronx Police received a report. The male owner of a Villa claimed that someone broke into their Villa and kidnapped him and his wife.”
“And the kidnappers didn’t want money or jewelry, only demanding that the male owner call the Police and have them come over immediately.”
“At first, the Police thought it was a prank, but since it was a rich area, the Police sent two Police cars to the Villa that made the report.”
“After the Police cars entered the Villa, they found that the community’s security personnel were already dead, and those Police officers were attacked as soon as they got out of the car!”
In the video, several Police officers hid behind their car and shouted into the Villa.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Villa gate was pulled open, bombs pre-installed in hidden locations exploded.
Several Police officers were killed on the spot, while the middle-aged man circled from behind the Villa to behind the Police and opened fire, taking lives.
After taking the lives of these Police, the middle-aged man stuffed two other injured and incapacitated Police into the car.
Then he drove them away, disappearing from the surveillance.
After this video finished playing, the next video scene appeared in a warehouse.
Inside the warehouse, the middle-aged man sat on a chair, and in front of him, two injured Police officers knelt on the ground.
“My name is Hank Rogins. I was once a member of the Navy SEALs. Seven years ago, while I was serving in the Navy SEALs, my 16-year-old son went missing.”
“It happened in the Bronx, but the local Police didn’t investigate. Instead, they kept giving me the runaround.”
“Later, I used my own power to investigate and found that my son was murdered. When I presented the evidence to these Police, they ignored it because the murderer was powerful and influential!”
At this point, Hank Rogins raised his pistol and decisively executed the Police.
Then he said to the camera, “Later, just as I was preparing to personally avenge my son, the Police ambushed me at the murderer’s house and arrested me. I was sentenced to twenty-three years!”
At this point, Hank Rogins stood up and pulled open a curtain behind him. Behind the curtain were twenty-three hostages he had tied up!
Looking at the hostages who were gagged and making muffled sounds, Hank Rogins pointed his gun at them and simultaneously said to the camera, “Now, I not only want to avenge my son, but I also want to ruin the murderer’s reputation!”
“There are twenty-three hostages here. If you don’t want them to die, then let the Mayor of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation personally investigate my son’s murder case!”
“You only have three days. After three days, all twenty-three hostages will be executed by me!”
Watching the video end, Lynn put down the tablet and said, “Give me Hank Rogins’s information.”
Barbara, who was already prepared, handed the information to Lynn, “Boss, there’s definitely a professional promoter behind Hank Rogins’s video. In just one morning, the video’s views exceeded several million.”
“And the public opinion is spreading incredibly fast. The video even bypassed YouTube’s network censorship mechanism and appeared directly in the most prominent place on the webpage!”
Hearing Barbara say that, Lynn flipped through Hank Rogins’s information:
“Served in the Marine Corps for twenty-three years, and also served as an instructor for the Navy SEALs. No wonder he could escape from prison.”
“Interesting. Call Joey and Ryan over.”
Hearing Lynn’s command, Barbara immediately picked up the phone and called Joey.
Putting down the information in his hand, Lynn also called Uncle George.
After the call ended, Lynn looked at Joey and Ryan, who had arrived, and then smiled, “Joey, immediately use the video to pinpoint the warehouse’s address. Also, since there’s a promoter behind the video, find that promoter!”
Half an hour later, inside a factory in the Bronx.
“Boss, you can just stay in the car. I’ll lead the guys in and bring Hank Rogins back.”
Seeing Lynn preparing to get out of the car, Sean spoke.
“Don’t be careless. Hank Rogins is a Navy SEALs instructor, and his anti-reconnaissance abilities are extremely strong.”
Hearing Lynn say that, Sean smiled, “Boss, he’s a Navy SEALs instructor, but I’m not a pushover either!”
With that, Sean led the team to search inside the factory.
Lynn nodded, seeing Sean’s cautious demeanor, then picked up a hot dog and started eating.
“Boss, this matter won’t affect your promotion, will it? After all, this timing is quite sensitive.”
Barbara asked with some concern, looking at Lynn eating a hot dog.
“As long as we can solve the case and successfully rescue the hostages before Jeff Russell arrives in New York, then there will be no impact.”
“Besides, for the case seven years ago, I wasn’t even 18 yet!”
As soon as Lynn’s voice fell, his phone received an email from Uncle George.
Opening the email and glancing at it, sure enough, the information about the murder of Hank Rogins’s son seven years ago had been completely destroyed.
“Heh, it really fits the style of important people!”
Closing his phone, Lynn continued eating his hot dog.
In the video, Hank Rogins had mentioned that the person who killed his son had a powerful background.
So Lynn was not at all surprised that this could be done.
Even if Uncle George was the Director of the New York Police Department, there were always some corrupt individuals among the 77 precincts!
Ten minutes later.
“Boss, there’s no one in the factory.”
Sean said to Lynn, as the action team returned, “I had the men thoroughly check the scene. The bodies of the two Police are still in the factory, but Hank Rogins and the 23 kidnapped individuals were not found.”
As soon as Sean finished speaking, Joey’s call came through.
“Boss, Ryan has already located the computer of the video promoter based on anti-tracking data. It’s currently in an alley in the Bronx.”
“However, none of the city’s surveillance cameras captured Hank Rogins. The surveillance footage must have been hidden by the hacker who promoted the video. We’re still trying to crack it!”
After confirming the location of the video promoter’s computer, Lynn immediately led his team there.
In a deserted alley in the Bronx, inside a van.
“You promised me that as long as I helped you push the video past the censorship mechanism, you would release those hostages you kidnapped!”
Skye said somewhat angrily, looking at Hank Rogins in the video call.
“I will naturally do what I promised you, but these 23 people are my biggest bargaining chip right now!”
Looking at Skye, Hank Rogins said, “I just want to get justice for my son.”
“But you killed those innocent Police officers!”
“Innocent? Heh, wasn’t my son innocent? It was those Police officers who destroyed the files, it was them who hid the truth—”
Hank Rogins, agitated, had only spoken half of his sentence when the van door was suddenly pulled open.
Startled by Lynn’s sudden appearance, Skye instinctively raised her fist to attack, but Lynn directly grabbed it.
Making a quiet gesture to Skye, Lynn looked at Hank Rogins in the video and said, “Hank Rogins, you should know me, right!”
“Lynn Hall!”
Looking at Lynn Hall who appeared in front of the video, Hank Rogins was stunned for a moment, but he did not hang up the video: “The Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, I’ve seen you on TV!”
“Since you know who I am, then things are easy. How about we make a deal?”
Looking at Hank Rogins in the video, Lynn said, “Surrender to me voluntarily and release those 23 hostages, and I will help you apprehend the murderer who killed your son seven years ago!”
Hearing Lynn say that, Hank Rogins sneered, “Why should I trust you? You people from official organizations always collude!”
“Because I am Lynn Hall.”
Hearing Lynn’s concise and powerful reply, Skye, who was standing by, frowned.
Although she knew of Lynn Hall’s reputation, she didn’t think that Lynn’s single sentence could make the ruthless Hank Rogins obediently release the 23 hostages!
After all, after Hank Rogins escaped from prison, he had mercilessly killed more than a dozen Police!
“Abandoned factory in Bronx District 13!”
After a moment of silence, Hank Rogins said, “I’ve heard about what you’ve done since you became part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and I’m willing to believe that you are an upright Federal Bureau of Investigation agent!”
“Those 23 hostages are locked up there. You can lead a team to rescue them.”
“However, I cannot surrender to you unless I see you apprehend the murderer who killed my son!”
With that, Hank Rogins hung up the video.
“Oh my god, he actually told you the location where the hostages are being held?”
Watching the video hang up, Skye looked at Lynn Hall with a shocked expression.
She couldn’t imagine that Lynn’s simple phrase, “Because I am Lynn Hall,” could make the ruthless Hank Rogins voluntarily disclose the location of the detained hostages.
“Is one sentence not enough?”
Looking at the shocked Skye, Lynn said, “But you have to come back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation with us!”
After Dennis took the stunned Skye back to the car, Lynn turned to Sean and said, “Did you film what just happened?”
“It’s already filmed, Boss. When it gets reported by the media, I guarantee it will be a huge sensation!”
Sean said excitedly, giving Lynn a thumbs up!
