Was Hank Rogins truly grateful to Lynn for helping him catch the person who harbored his son's killer seven years ago, and that's why he voluntarily surrendered?
The truth, of course, was not like that.
In fact, ever since Skye was taken away by Lynn, and no one helped him cover up the traces he left behind.
Joey had already locked onto his location through the city's surveillance.
The reason for not arresting him was solely for today's show!
After all, this show was not only for the New York public but also for Justice Minister Jeff Russell!
Subordinates who only know how to work hard but don't know how to take credit won't go far in the workplace.
And Hank Rogins also knew he couldn't escape, so it was better to cooperate with Lynn and finish this act.
Lynn could gain a good reputation and further increase his prestige.
And his days in prison would also be easier.
Ever since Derek Johnson was arrested, in just three days, the New York FBI arrested a large number of people connected to the Johnson family.
Whether they were gang members, famous businessmen, or government officials and police personnel.
It could be said that in just three days, New York underwent a thorough cleansing from top to bottom.
Three days later, at the New York Federal Building press conference.
Listening to Justice Minister Jeff Russell announce the investigation results of the Brooklyn Lizardmen Incident to the media.
Jessica stood beside Lynn, her mouth not moving, but her voice floated into Lynn's ear: "The Justice Minister arrived in New York yesterday. What did he talk to you about?"
Facing Jessica's question, Lynn also replied: "I also thought the content of this conversation was very important, but I didn't expect the Minister just to praise and encourage me."
"As for anything else, he said nothing!"
Speaking of this, Lynn glanced at James Duke in front, then continued: "My position is still not high enough, otherwise this conversation wouldn't have been so relaxed!"
Yes, last night, after Jeff Russell arrived in New York, he had a conversation with Lynn.
However, to Lynn's surprise, there was no so-called inspection or anything else.
It was as if his only purpose was to praise him.
In addition, he told Lynn to be prepared, because after he returned from New York this time, a Department of Justice meeting would be convened.
By the end of June at the latest, Lynn would receive his appointment as Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation!
"I estimate he will only try to recruit you after you officially become the Director of the New York FBI."
"Although the Justice Minister himself is in charge of the FBI, but..."
Jessica didn't finish her sentence, but Lynn understood her meaning.
On stage.
After Jeff Russell finished announcing the Brooklyn Lizardmen case, Lynn walked onto the stage to announce the investigation results concerning Deputy Mayor Derek Johnson!
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Watching on TV, Lynn was currently announcing the criminal investigation results of the Johnson family to the media.
Natasha said: "Hill, do you really believe that Lynn could make Hank Rogins release 23 hostages and voluntarily surrender to Lynn with just one sentence?"
Facing Natasha's question, Maria Hill said: "No matter what the truth of the matter is, at least the truth the public sees is this, and that's enough!"
"And listen to Lynn announce the crimes of the old political family, Johnson: human trafficking, smuggling, drug trafficking, supporting gangs... This series of charges is enough to nail the New York government to the pillar of shame!"
"The public already distrusts the government, and now with these things, hah, so at this time, the public needs a new hero to stand up!"
Hearing Hill say that, Natasha said: "So, Lynn naturally became the hero in the hearts of New York citizens, the one who upholds justice and protects them?"
"Didn't Jeff Russell lavishly praise Lynn after announcing the Brooklyn Lizardmen case?"
"Just watch, after today, media across the U.S. will extensively praise Lynn and the Illuminati he founded, and this isn't even the kind of praise that sets him up for a fall!"
Crossing her arms and watching Lynn on TV, Natasha shrugged: "Politics is really dirty!"
"It's just diverting public attention; S.H.I.E.L.D. has done that plenty of times."
Listening to their conversation, Nick Fury said: "Did Lynn agree to investigate the Hudson Hotel matter with you?"
"He agreed. Although I don't know why he distrusts S.H.I.E.L.D., he does trust me."
Facing Nick Fury's question, Natasha said: "But haven't you already assessed Lynn's abilities?"
"I always feel he's still hiding something!"
Shaking his head, Nick Fury said: "Although I don't know how he acquired this ability, his strength is definitely more than what he's shown!"
At the interview site.
"Mr. Lynn, we interviewed Spider-Man and Spider-Woman, and according to them, they belong to an organization called the Illuminati, and Laura and Polaris are also members of the Illuminati."
"As far as we know, Laura and Polaris are members of your New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, and you personally recruited them, so what is your relationship with the Illuminati?"
Facing the reporter's question, Lynn did not hide it: "The Illuminati was founded by me. The original intention of the Illuminati was to assemble people with extraordinary abilities to protect the safety of the public."
"New York not only has ordinary criminals but also many superpowered criminals hidden in the dark, and these criminals pose a great threat to the public."
"This is why I created the Illuminati!"
Hearing Lynn's answer, the reporters on site immediately began asking questions.
"Yes, Spider-Woman and Spider-Man were personally recruited by me."
"Leader is the respectful title Illuminati members use for me."
"Of course, for those who possess extraordinary strength and have a heart for justice, the Illuminati will admit them after review."
Watching Lynn Hall answer the media on TV.
Storm Ororo turned to Jean Grey and said: "Did you receive an invitation from the Illuminati?"
"I received it. Not only me, but Professor also received an invitation from the Illuminati."
Facing Storm's question, Jean Grey did not hide it: "Because of the Brooklyn Lizardmen Incident, the Illuminati has a very high reputation among the public."
"Professor also feels that if our X-Men could join the Illuminati, it would greatly help our philosophy of peaceful coexistence with ordinary people."
"Scott and I didn't receive one."
Hearing Jean Grey's words, Storm shrugged: "I think I also fit Lynn's description of an Illuminati member."
Early June, inside a Manhattan hotel in the morning.
Lynn has always liked to be kind to people, so when faced with the invitation from the two beautiful female singers, Taylor and Melissa, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, they were already piled up, four mouths pitifully crying out "hungry, hungry, food, food," so how could a kind person like himself be stingy with alms?
After all, they just wanted to reward him, the hero in the hearts of New Yorkers. Good men get good rewards, right?
So, a good person like himself deserves to encounter two barren lands.
After his morning workout, Lynn opened the system and upgraded Super Healing to LV2, looking at the two girls sleeping again to his left and right.
After seeing the Super Healing ability in the skill bar turn into LV2 【0/4000】, he closed the system and got up, walking towards the bathroom.
After washing up, Lynn put on his clothes and walked out of the hotel.
Natasha's car was parked at the hotel entrance, and upon seeing Lynn come out, she honked the horn.
"Looks like you had a good night?"
Looking at the refreshed Lynn, Natasha said with a smile.
"It was alright. After all, I'm quite soft-hearted and can't stand to see beautiful girls deeply troubled, so I helped them solve some small problems. The girls, out of gratitude, wanted to repay me, and it would hurt them too much if I refused!"
Saying that, Lynn pointed to his car: "Get in my car!"
Inside the car.
"Did Nick Fury ask you to pick me up?"
Facing Lynn's question, Natasha nodded: "Of course. After all, you're about to become the Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, so a small S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent like me naturally has to be sensible. How could I dare to make you wait for me?"
Saying that, Natasha took out a candy from her pocket and offered it to Lynn.
Seeing Lynn decline, Natasha opened the candy wrapper and ate it herself.
The Department of Justice meeting two days ago went relatively "smoothly," so it's estimated that he'll be able to move up another step even before the end of June!
Driving along the riverside road towards Hudson Town, Natasha looked at Lynn and said: "Lynn, if there's really a devil in that hotel, have you thought about how to deal with it?"
"Just like that town in Oswego?"
Facing Natasha's question, Lynn shrugged and said nothing.
When the car arrived at the Hudson Hotel, the hotel had already been cordoned off by S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel. As soon as Lynn got out of the car, he noticed that the clear weather instantly became overcast.
The surrounding temperature plummeted, and countless crows in the nearby woods began cawing wildly from the branches.
Looking up at the dense crows cawing wildly on the branches, Natasha looked at Lynn and said: "In just a few seconds, the surrounding temperature dropped by at least ten degrees."
"The last time the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation team came here, this didn't happen."
Hearing Natasha say that, Lynn turned around and walked back to the car.
Under Natasha's gaze, Lynn took a single-person Rocket launcher from the back of the Chevrolet.
"This is why you wanted to drive here from the Manhattan hotel?"
Seeing Lynn aiming the single-person Rocket launcher at the dilapidated Hudson Hotel, Natasha immediately dodged to the side.
"All fear stems from insufficient firepower, so the best solution is to blast it first!"
As his words fell, Lynn directly pressed the launch button.
Under Natasha's gaze, a Rocket flew rapidly towards the Hudson Hotel.
But the expected explosion did not occur.
Instead, the Rocket shattered the hotel glass and then fell directly onto the floor of the hotel room.
Seeing this, Natasha came to Lynn's side and said: "It seems your plan failed."
"In fact, ever since the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation team disappeared in the Hudson Hotel, we S.H.I.E.L.D. sent two fully armed action teams into the hotel for search and rescue."
"The result..."
Speaking of this, Natasha shrugged: "Later, we tried many methods, including using high-temperature incendiary bombs to completely destroy this hotel."
"But the result is that this hotel still stands in this town, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was forced to just cordon it off!"
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
He put the single-person Rocket launcher back into the car.
Feeling the surrounding temperature dropping lower and lower, Lynn and Natasha walked directly into the hotel.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance, the crows that had been standing on the branches around them suddenly flapped their wings and flew continuously in circles in the sky, as if sensing something terrifying.
Seeing this, Natasha took out her pistol and said: "I regret watching that horror movie last night."
Hearing Natasha say that, Lynn turned on his flashlight and continued into the hotel.
Although it was daytime outside, the hotel interior was extremely dark.
The mottled hotel walls were covered in a lot of dried blood, as if someone had slit their throat against the wall and the blood had splattered onto it.
The human oil paintings in the hotel lobby now seemed to be alive, staring at the two with a chilling, half-smile.
“I’m starting to regret taking this mission.”
Following Lynn, Natasha held her gun and vigilantly looked around: “I’d rather go…”
Mid-sentence, Lynn's Spider-Sense instantly gave a warning.
Almost at the same time, Lynn raised his gun and aimed it at the room behind him.
Seeing this, Natasha also immediately aimed her gun at Lynn’s back, instinctively ensuring Lynn would not be attacked from behind: “Lynn, what did you find?”
In the direction Lynn’s gun was pointed, a figure had just flashed past.
Although the light inside the hotel was dim, Lynn knew he definitely hadn’t seen wrong.
“This hotel is indeed not clean.”
Looking at the half-open door in front of him, Lynn walked forward and kicked it open.
Inside the dim room, a woman dressed in black stood with her back to them, looking out the window.
Seeing this, Natasha instinctively moved closer to Lynn and said, “I’ve seen the files of people who ‘disappeared’ in this hotel. A woman named Vanessa was wearing these clothes before entering the hotel.”
As soon as her words fell, the floor beneath their feet seemed to contract. They had just been standing at the doorway, but in the next second, they appeared inside the room.
Seeing this, the two immediately retreated towards the door, but no matter how much they retreated, they seemed to be treading water, with the distance to the door remaining unchanged.
Not only that, but blood began to flow out from the surrounding walls, making the entire scene extremely eerie.
“We have to deal with her, or we won’t be able to get out of this room!”
With that, Lynn unhesitatingly opened fire on the woman in black sitting on the bed.
Gunshots constantly echoed in the room, but the bullets hitting the black-clad woman’s back and head had no effect!
Instead, the woman in black turned around, revealing a grotesque smile on her rotting face, and then lunged at the two of them.
At the critical moment, Lynn felt a sudden burning sensation in his left arm, and the woman in black, who was about to pounce on Lynn, shrieked and retreated repeatedly.
Seeing this, Natasha looked thoughtfully at Lynn’s left arm.
Especially when she saw Lynn rush forward, his left arm grabbing the neck of the woman with the rotting face, and that woman shrieked and turned into a pile of ashes.
Natasha was even more certain that what had happened in the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation’s autopsy room was no accident.
After the woman in black fearfully turned into a pile of ashes, Natasha looked at Lynn and said, “As expected, you still have many secrets. How about you tell me? I promise not to tell Nick Fury.”
“So, you inviting me repeatedly to deal with the Hudson Hotel was Nick Fury’s idea? He wants to know what other abilities I’m hiding?”
Seeing that Lynn understood her words, Natasha shrugged.
Looking at the walls that had returned to their original state because the woman in black had turned into ashes, and the facilities in the room gradually becoming old and dilapidated, covered in dust and cobwebs.
Natasha turned and walked down the corridor with Lynn, saying, “If you were just the Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, Fury wouldn’t care about your strength.”
“But who told you to personally found the Illuminati? Even Professor X and Phoenix have joined the Illuminati.”
“A few days ago, he told me about an idea he had been contemplating for many years: to assemble a team of super-powered individuals to protect this World with their strength.”
At this point, Natasha looked at Lynn and said, “As a result, his idea hadn’t even been put into action, and you founded the Illuminati first.”
As the two walked deeper into the hotel, Lynn said, “So, you mean Nick Fury now wants to recruit me to join his superhero organization?”
“It’s a leader!”
Stopping and looking at Lynn, Natasha smiled: “Nick Fury has a very high opinion of you, believing you have excellent leadership, decision-making, and the ability to make accurate judgments at critical moments.”
“So he thinks you are very suitable to be the leader of this organization.”
Seeing Natasha stop, Lynn looked around and said, “It seems you are also a member of the organization he is building.”
“It’s not clear yet, but if this organization really forms, then he will definitely find a way to bring you in.”
“Of course, the first problem to solve is that you don’t trust S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Seeing a thick fog suddenly rise in the hotel corridor, Natasha aimed her gun forward: “After we leave the Hudson Hotel, can you tell me why?”
“It’s not time yet!”
As his words fell, a middle-aged man in a suit with a slit throat appeared in front of them.
Behind him were all the people who had died in the hotel over the years.
This included the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation team members who had died here earlier, as well as the two fully armed action teams.
Looking at the middle-aged man who appeared in the black mist, Natasha said to Lynn, “He is Leslie Cret, the founder of the Hudson Hotel. Thirty years ago, he killed his entire family and guests, then slit his own throat.”
Hearing Natasha’s words, Leslie Cret smiled and said, “Welcome, both of you, to the Hudson Hotel. I didn’t expect anyone to remember the name of this body thirty years later.”
“Are you the demon who escaped from the Lake of Fire?”
“Lake of Fire?”
Hearing Lynn say this, Natasha was somewhat curious: “The Lake of Fire recorded in the Bible, the place where demons are banished, existing in Hell and guarded by beasts?”
“No, no, no, that is not Hell!”
Facing Natasha’s curiosity, Leslie smiled and said, “For us demons, that is our home.”
At this point, Leslie looked at Lynn and said, “On your left arm, there is the aura of that Lord who only exists in legends, whom I have never seen.”
“I heard that Lord has a contractor in the human World, so, are you his contractor?”
“If so, then I will immediately roll back to the Lake of Fire and never appear in the human World again.”
Facing Leslie’s words, Lynn raised his left arm and took a step forward: “If that guy were here, you would probably have already vanished into thin air.”
Seeing Lynn raise his left arm and take a step forward, Leslie Cret immediately took a step back.
Just as he was about to speak, his entire body seemed to freeze.
Not only him, but the demons behind him, and Natasha beside Lynn, were also motionless.
Seeing the surrounding time and space freeze, Lynn knew that Mephisto must have returned!
Indeed, as a soft light illuminated the dim hotel corridor, Mephisto, leaning on his cane, appeared before Lynn.
“We meet again, little one. My power is quite useful, isn’t it!”
Looking at Mephisto, whose face was full of a “benevolent” smile, Lynn said, “Are you imitating an Angel’s appearance? However, this holy light doesn’t feel warm or peaceful at all.”
“Angels? I’ve seen a few, but if you were to see them, you would probably be disappointed.”
“I know you’ve met Johnny. I think he must have left a very deep impression on you, and now you’ve experienced a tiny bit of my power.”
“How does it feel?”
As he spoke, a contract floated in front of Lynn.
Not only that, although time and space were frozen around them, those who had died in this hotel, including the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation team and the action team, also appeared before Lynn.
“As long as you are willing to sign this contract, you will not only possess unparalleled power, but you can also bring these people back from Hell to the human World.”
As soon as Mephisto finished speaking, all the people who had died in the hotel began to plead with Lynn.
The desperate cries of some of them went straight to Lynn’s heart.
“How about it? They are all Americans. Isn’t it your duty to protect them?”
“Now, you can bring them back from Hell to the human World.”
Hearing Mephisto’s temptation, Lynn suddenly said, “Did you come all the way from Hell to the human World just to tempt me? You shouldn’t be that idle.”
“Besides, although the FBI’s duty is to protect this country, who told you I care about this country, or the lives of these Americans?”
As his words fell, Lynn unhesitatingly pulled out his pistol and fired at those pleading and crying people!
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
“The person has been transported back from the North Pole, but he is still frozen.”
Looking at Nick Fury in front of her, Hill reported: “During the process of bringing him back from the North Pole, the medical team was constantly monitoring his physical condition.”
“It’s simply unimaginable that Captain America was frozen for seventy years and is still alive!”
Hearing Hill’s report, Nick Fury sighed: “Yes, no one expected Steve Rogers to still be alive.”
“How are the special treatment rooms prepared?”
Facing Fury’s question, Hill immediately said, “Everything is ready, including the vintage radio from seventy years ago, the outdoor decorations, and the medical equipment.”
“And I have been monitoring the entire process, no force knows this news!”
Listening to Hill’s answer, Nick Fury nodded with satisfaction: “Steve Rogers’ return is the most important event for our S.H.I.E.L.D. this year!”
“I didn’t expect S.H.I.E.L.D.’s capture of that superpowered criminal who fled to the North Pole to inadvertently discover the plane Steve Rogers crashed into the iceberg back then.”
At this point, Nick Fury looked at Hill and suddenly asked, “Has Natasha invited Lynn Hall to the Hudson Hotel yet?”
“Yes, before entering the Hudson Hotel, Lynn Hall even fired a Rocket at the hotel.”
“Then what do you think about thawing Steve Rogers in New York?”
Facing Fury’s question, Hill frowned: “You mean, the Illuminati?”
“Exactly!”
Nick Fury did not hide anything from Hill: “The emergence of the Illuminati clashed with my concept of the Avengers, and the addition of Professor X and Phoenix elevated the Illuminati’s strength to another level.”
“However, this is not a bad thing. Ever since I learned about Lynn’s abilities, I felt he was more suitable to lead the Avengers.”
“So, since Lynn is the leader of the Illuminati, why don’t we combine the Illuminati and the Avengers?”
Hearing Nick Fury say this, Hill frowned: “That’s not like your usual style.”
Facing Hill’s questioning, Nick Fury smiled: “I already feel constrained by the World Security Council supervising S.H.I.E.L.D. Do you think the World Security Council, or those U.S. politicians, would let go of an organization with extraordinary abilities like this?”
“So this organization must have an excellent leader who can withstand pressure.”
“And Lynn Hall is the most suitable, after all, his identity is more appropriate.”
“I think you’re still thinking too simply. Although Lynn Hall is the Director of the New York FBI, and is about to be promoted to Deputy Director, he is ultimately still subject to the Department of Justice…”
“That’s why I want to thaw Steve Rogers in New York!”
Looking at Hill, Nick Fury said, “Lynn is an FBI Agent, and we can make Steve a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent.”
“In this way, Lynn Hall, as a member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, leads this organization, and Steve Rogers, as a S.H.I.E.L.D. employee, becomes its spiritual leader.”
“And our S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for supervision; only in this way can we maintain a balance between the United States government and the World Security Council!”
Hearing Nick Fury say this, Hill nodded: “I will move the medical room from Washington to New York right away!”
Watching Hill leave, Nick Fury pulled open a drawer and looked at the pager, saying, “Earth is always facing threats!”
Inside the Hudson Hotel.
“What happened?”
When everything around her returned to normal, Natasha still held her pistol aimed at the demons in front of her.
But she found that everything around her had changed.
The originally dim hotel had returned to the bright daytime, and the guys who had appeared in front of her a second ago had now disappeared.
The hotel was dilapidated, and it no longer looked like the scene she had just witnessed!
“It’s over!”
Looking at the surprised Natasha, Lynn Hall put away his gun and walked outside.
When time was frozen just now, Lynn, facing Mephisto’s temptation, pulled out his gun without hesitation and shot the pleading figures.
Mephisto hadn’t expected his actions to be so decisive, but this only made him more interested in Lynn.
As for whether he sensed Lynn using the brand he left on his left arm, which made him appear?
Heh, this Lord of Hell was just trying his luck with Lynn!
Back in the car, Lynn picked up his phone and called Ghost Rider.
As soon as the call connected, Lynn asked, “Johnny, I just saw that old man with a cane. He said he came back from your side?”
Texas, inside a farm.
Hearing Lynn’s voice on the other end of the phone, Johnny said, “That’s right. Three days ago, I tracked a demon from Hell to Texas, but before I could deal with it, that old man found me.”
“Although I don’t know what exactly happened in Hell, I can clearly feel that he seems to need a lot of souls.”
“He found you too? You weren’t tempted to sign that contract, were you?”
“Of course not.”
Facing Johnny’s question, Lynn said, “I was dealing with some demons that escaped from the Lake of Fire at the Hudson Hotel, and this old man actually used the souls of those deceased to tempt me.”
“When I heard the crying and pleading voices of those deceased, for a moment I actually wanted to pick up that pen from the depths of my soul. Thankfully, my mind was firm, otherwise, I probably would have fallen for it!”
Hearing Lynn say this, Johnny chuckled: “The Lament of the Dead, a very old trick from Hell, it easily makes people do things involuntarily.”
“Be careful. Since that old man has his eyes on you, he’ll probably come looking for you again!”
After finishing his conversation with Johnny, Lynn hung up the phone.
“What exactly happened just now? Why did everything end in an instant?”
“Also, who is that old man with a cane you mentioned? And what’s with the pen and falling for it?”
Looking at Natasha’s inquisitive expression, Lynn shook his head, then said, “Some things are better left unknown to you.”
“Oh, there are high-temperature incendiary bombs in the trunk of the car. You can completely burn down this hotel now!”
Seeing that Lynn was unwilling to explain, Natasha did not press further.
Taking out the high-temperature incendiary bombs from the trunk, Natasha directly set the Hudson Hotel on fire.
Watching the Hudson Hotel burn fiercely, Natasha was certain that Lynn indeed had many unknown secrets!
Glancing at Lynn, who was sitting in the car smoking, Natasha shrugged, then opened the car door and got back into the passenger seat.
Everyone has secrets, and if Nick Fury wasn't so eager to know, she wouldn't have asked any more questions!
After the Hudson Hotel incident was completely resolved, not much happened around Lynn.
After all, Lynn’s current identity is that of a supervisor, so unless it’s a major event that shakes New York, or Lynn can’t sit still in the office.
Otherwise, there are simply no cases worth Lynn going out into the field for.
Oh, right, Lynn’s identity has already changed.
The meeting specially convened by Justice Minister Jeff Russell has ended, and Lynn has now been promoted to Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation!
Although the office hasn’t changed, the nameplate of ‘Supervisor’ has been replaced with ‘Deputy Director’.
In addition, Gwen has officially graduated from high school.
With enough credits, Gwen’s application to New York University, submitted last November, has been approved, and when classes resume, Gwen will be a college student.
Additionally, Peter Parker, Harry Osborn, and Mary Jane will also attend New York University together.
Hmm, soon to be a college student, this made Peter Parker extremely excited.
On the third-floor balcony of the Illuminati.
“I think by my sophomore or junior year, I can marry Mary Jane. Lynn, I currently earn three thousand U.S. dollars a month at the Illuminati, and I can work part-time after starting college.”
“This way, I can have a cozy little home for Mary Jane and me sooner.”
Watching Peter Parker excitedly planning his future with Mary Jane, Lynn leaned against the railing and chuckled, “You’re thinking quite far ahead.”
“But it looks like you’ve moved on from the Lizardmen Incident, which is good.”
Hearing Lynn say this, Peter Parker scratched his head a little awkwardly: “I have to thank you for your guidance back then.”
“But Lynn, what do you think about my plan to get married in my junior year?”
“I haven’t mentioned it to Jane, or Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben yet. I want to hear your opinion.”
Facing Peter Parker’s question, Lynn smiled: “Peter, marriage is always one of the most important decisions in life.”
“It’s not just about love, but also about responsibility and commitment.”
Raising his hand and patting Peter’s shoulder, Lynn smiled: “Peter, I believe you are a man with responsibility and commitment, but marriage cannot be a spur-of-the-moment decision!”
“You’re still young now, and there’s a long time until your junior year, which is enough time for you to think it over carefully!”
“But no matter what, Peter, I believe you will definitely become a good husband and a good father in the future!”
For something like this, Peter Parker asking him first made Lynn quite happy.
This proved that in Peter’s heart, he was slowly developing into a life mentor.
Hearing Lynn say this, Peter Parker gradually regained his composure.
“You’re right, I was too excited. After all, having graduated from high school, I just feel like the future is beckoning to me.”
“Oh, happy birthday, Lynn!”
Saying that, Peter Parker took out the gift he had prepared long ago.
“Thank you!”
Looking at the gift Peter handed over, Lynn thanked him and took it.
Today was Lynn’s birthday.
The gift Peter gave wasn't expensive, but it was full of sincerity.
Coming down from the third floor, Lynn asked Laura and Polaris to take the gifts received today back.
Then he left the Base with Gwen.
Inside the car.
“Lynn, give me your hand.”
Seeing Lynn preparing to start the car, Gwen asked Lynn to extend his hand.
After Lynn handed her his left hand, Gwen took out a pre-prepared watch from her bag and put it on Lynn’s wrist.
After putting on the watch, Gwen admired it for a few seconds, then smiled at Lynn with satisfaction: “I spent a whole day picking this out. From now on, you’re not allowed to take it off except when you’re showering or sleeping!”
Listening to Gwen’s “fierce” tone, Lynn smiled, wrapped an arm around her, and kissed her for a while.
After they separated, he looked at Gwen, whose face was flushed and a little shy, but whose eyes were incredibly bright.
Lynn started the car and chuckled, “You’ve been drinking Lynn Hall-brand milk for so long, why do you still get shy every time I kiss you?”
“That’s different!”
Subconsciously licking her lips, Gwen looked at Lynn, who had already started the car, with some regret.
Otherwise, she would have pounced on him.
“Lynn, I graduated from high school!”
“Yes, you’re about to become a college student!”
“I mean, I graduated from high school!!”
“Oh? Congratulations!”
Seeing that Lynn clearly knew what she meant but deliberately pretended not to understand.
Gwen directly pounced on him, bumping her head against Lynn’s arm.
“Haha, I’m driving!”
“Hmph!”
Gwen huffed coquettishly, “It’s your birthday today. It would be great if you weren’t staying at home.”
“So, this is your real birthday gift?”
“That’s right!”
Tilting her head to look at Lynn, Gwen said, “I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time.”
“But it’s okay, it’s not like one more day makes a difference. I’ll stay at your place tomorrow night.”
Looking at Gwen’s expectant expression, Lynn ruffled her hair, then drove towards Uncle George’s house.
At the same time, Brooklyn.
Looking at the familiar yet strange surroundings, Steve Rogers’ breathing was rapid, and his eyes flickered with confusion.
He wasn’t sure if this was truly the Brooklyn he once knew.
The streets around him gave him a familiar feeling, yet the unfamiliar, tall buildings made him feel completely alien.
“Alright, I apologize for that performance just now, but I thought it best to let you slowly come to terms with these things.”
Seeing cars surrounding him, and the guy with the black eye patch clearly being their Officer.
Steve Rogers asked cautiously, “Come to terms with what? Where exactly is this?”
“New York, Brooklyn, your former hometown, except that seventy years have passed since you crashed that plane into the glacier!”
“Seventy years?”
Hearing Nick Fury say this, Steve subconsciously looked at the towering buildings all around him.
“What’s wrong?”
Looking at Steve, whose breathing was a little rapid and whose eyes were filled with sadness, Nick Fury asked.
“Nothing… I’m fine!”
Shaking his head lightly, Steve Rogers whispered, “It’s just… I missed a date!”
New York Federal Building!
“My God, this is absolutely incredible!”
Looking at the images transmitted from the satellite, Joey immediately opened his mouth wide!
Looking at the employees coming and going outside the office, Joey immediately got up and closed the office door.
He looked at the satellite images again, then with a solemn expression, took out his phone and called Lynn.
Ever since S.H.I.E.L.D. bought a building in Brooklyn and started extensive renovations, his boss had told him to keep an eye on what S.H.I.E.L.D. was up to.
My goodness, he actually saw Captain America?
As a die-hard fan of Captain America, Joey was convinced that he definitely couldn’t be mistaken!
