After leaving the Caribbean Sea in Cuba, Rowe returned to the New York Sanctuary. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, a mage from the Sanctuary asked in surprise: "Where are the other two people?"
Luo Wei was startled: "Starka and Aletta didn't come back?"
"No." The mage shook his head.
Luo Wei couldn't help but frown.
What's the situation? Didn't I ask the Starka couple to come back first? Are they still shopping, or did they say something?
Starhawk is so powerful that it has almost no opponents on Earth. But now Starhawk no longer exists, replaced by Starkar and Aletta.
After being divided into two, their power was severely weakened. Although it was still stronger than ordinary people on earth, there was a certain possibility of accidents, and maybe something really happened.
Rowe immediately decided to go to the New York neighborhood where the clothing store was located to look for Staka and Aletta.
However, once he arrived, he was convinced that the two of them were not nearby.
The energy level of most human beings is level one, a few macho men can reach level two, and the Starka couple are at level four. But Luo Wei opened his eyes of reckoning and looked around, and did not see any level four creatures. Obviously
The two of them are not here.
So he had to go to the high-end clothing store called Kingsman and asked the clerk: "Hello, a couple and I came to your place to buy clothes not long ago today. Have you seen them since?"
"Sorry sir, I didn't notice." The clerk looked away.
Luo Wei was sure he knew something, but he obviously didn't want to say it.
Luo Wei was silent for two seconds, then turned over his hand and took out a pile of green banknotes, and asked again: "Tell me, where did they go?"
The pile of bills in his hand was about one hundred thousand dollars. Seeing these green things, the clerk couldn't help but widen his eyes.
In this era, most people in the United States earn less than a thousand dollars a year, and one hundred thousand dollars is equivalent to the average person's income for more than a hundred years.
Before this, the clerk always thought that he was a man who could not be bought.
"Sir, I..." He stammered and was speechless for a moment, but his hand naturally took the banknote, and his speech became fluent immediately.
"Okay, sir, but I want to make it clear that I am not doing it for the money, but for the sake of God." The clerk said, "The thing is like this..."
"Shortly after you left here, two agents claiming to be from the Strategic Science Corps came to the door and asked about your situation, especially your situation. It seems that the other two people have been taken away by them."
Luo Wei frowned: "Strategic Science Corps?" (Note: It is the Strategic Science Reserve Bureau mentioned before, and the translation has been changed.)
He felt like he had heard this name somewhere.
The clerk shrugged: "I don't know either, but it looks like it should be a spy organization similar to the CIA."
Luo Wei asked a few more questions, remained silent for a moment, and then turned and left.
It seemed that Staka and Aletta were taken away by the so-called "Strategic Science Corps" after leaving the clothing store. He did not know the location and personnel of this organization. After thinking about it, he felt that he could only go first
Ask the mages at the Supreme Sanctuary.
If you don’t know about the Supreme Sanctuary, you can only ask a senior official of the U.S. federal government.
In addition, the experience just now made him realize that walking on the earth today is much easier with a lot of money in hand. It seems that he should prepare more in the future.
Luo Wei lowered his head to think, and while heading to the New York Sanctuary, he suddenly frowned and turned around to look.
The path behind him was empty, but after opening the Eye of Reckoning, he could clearly see two figures hiding around the corner.
The energy level of both of them is Level 2. They are both rare macho men among humans, elite warriors who can beat ordinary people. They are obviously not gangsters or the like.
Are you from the Strategic Science Corps?
Luo Wei was worried about where to find them, so he took the initiative to walk over and went straight to one of the corners. Then he saw a man in black: "Are you the Strategic Science Corps?"
The man in black immediately took out his pistol: "Don't move!"
Luo Wei reached out and took away his gun. Before the man in black could react, the gun was gone in a blink of an eye. He suddenly felt unbelievable and shocked: "You..."
The man in black on the other side saw this and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang!" A gunshot was heard, and then Luo Wei felt a bullet stuck to his underwear.
"Bang bang bang!" Seeing that he hadn't fallen to the ground, the man in black immediately fired a few more shots.
Luo Wei ignored it, looked at the man in black in front of him, and asked again: "Are you the Strategic Science Corps?"
The man in black's mouth twitched: "Yes..."
"Very good, take me to see your commander immediately." Luo Wei nodded, then pointed to another person behind him who was still shooting at him, "By the way, tell that guy to stop."
"..."
A few minutes later.
Under the leadership of two agents, Rowe came to the New York headquarters building of the Strategic Science Corps, an office building that looked ordinary in New York.
But with the Eye of Reckoning open, he casually scanned and found that a quarter of the people in this building had reached Level 2, and even Level 3. The most handsome human beings could be seen everywhere here.
"Why did the Strategic Science Corps arrest two of my friends?" Luo Wei asked.
"The agents are just following orders." The man in black revealed almost nothing, or indeed didn't know anything. "Our commander should answer your questions."
Luo Wei nodded, followed the two of them into the building, and then, by twists and turns, was taken to an office.
The glass door of the office reads its owner: Director Margaret Carter.
Carter?
Seeing this name, Luo Wei couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly remembered that this Strategic Science Corps is S.H.I.E.L.D.!
No wonder he thought the name sounded familiar to him. It turned out to be the name of SHIELD in its early days, and the person in charge at that time was Carter, Steve's 55-year-old sweetheart.
"Director Carter." Two agents pushed the door open and entered.
"What's wrong?" Carter was reading the document. When he heard this, he looked up and saw Luo Wei following behind the two of them. He couldn't help but be startled.
"We brought another person back...he, he came with us on his own initiative and said he wanted to meet the commander of the Strategic Science Corps in person." One of the agents said.
Carter was experienced in many battles and had never seen big winds and waves. Seeing the two men hesitating, he immediately guessed something and knew that these two men were probably brought over after they were easily knocked down.
"Okay, you go back first."
"Yes." The two agents responded and quickly left the office.
Then Carter looked at Rowe and showed a decent smile: "Please sit down, I am the director of the Strategic Science Corps, Margaret Page Carter."
