Chapter 85: Lynn: The Punisher was caught on purpose!

At this point, the Vampire frowned, “But that’s impossible. If the Lansas Family has reappeared, why haven’t I received any news?”

Hearing the Vampire’s words, Lynn asked curiously, “Something from six hundred years ago?”

“That’s right, something that happened in Europe six hundred years ago, but I’m not entirely clear on the specifics. After all, I was only a little over three hundred years old at the time.”

“But based on my guess, all Vampires at the time were probably worried that once that sixteen-year-old Vampire grew up, he would rule or even enslave them, just like the Blood Progenitor!”

“Lynn, can you give me the bones of that Vampire who wasn’t afraid of sunlight, the one you just mentioned? I want to—”

“Don’t think about what you shouldn’t!”

Before the Vampire could finish speaking, Lynn hung up the phone without hesitation.

What was this idiot thinking, asking for something from him?

After hanging up the phone, he began to ponder.

The skeleton of that Vampire who wasn’t afraid of sunlight should be that sixteen-year-old Vampire from the Lansas Family.

It’s just, why did he appear in Europe, and why was he sent to the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation’s doorstep by Punisher?

Shouldn’t he have been sent to S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Also, was this Vampire killed by Punisher, or was he discovered and killed by other Vampires?

Will his appearance attract those European Vampires to New York?

Thinking of this, Lynn picked up his coffee and took a sip.

Damn it, can’t things just be quiet for a while?

As Lynn was pondering, Barbara knocked on the door again.

After letting her in, Barbara said, “Boss, there’s been a bank robbery in New York.”

Hearing Barbara’s words, Lynn asked, “Is it a local New York City bank, or a federal bank?”

Different banks being robbed meant different departments were responsible.

If it was a New York City bank, then the New York police would investigate.

If it was a New York Federal Bank, then the Federal Bureau of Investigation would be responsible for the investigation!

Hearing Barbara say that the robbed bank was a federal bank, Lynn had Sean lead a team to handle the matter.

Currently, Lynn was more concerned with Punisher Frank’s purpose in sending the Lansas Family Vampire to the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.

After finding Frank’s number, Lynn dialed it directly.

At the same time, inside S.H.I.E.L.D.

“Is this a warning?”

Looking at the Vampire corpse that had turned to ash in the sunlight, Natasha looked at Coulson and asked, “You’ve had contact with Punisher, so what do you think his intention is by doing this?”

“Not clear yet.”

Shaking his head lightly, Coulson smiled, “But I guess Frank might be trying to tell us that many Vampires have come to New York?”

“But the vast majority of Vampire families are in Europe, and they’ve always been under S.H.I.E.L.D.’s surveillance.”

“We haven’t received any news of them leaving Europe.”

“Why don’t we just ask him?”

Looking at Coulson, Natasha shrugged, “Don’t you have Frank’s number?”

Hearing Natasha say this, Coulson nodded, then took out his phone and called Frank.

A moment later, Coulson looked at Natasha and spread his hands, “The call didn’t go through.”

“Then go find him. You report this to Fury, and I’ll go find Frank!”

With that, Natasha turned and walked outside.

“Call Captain Rogers.”

Watching Natasha leave, Coulson said, “Although Captain is still adapting to this World, the Director believes he should see the other side of the World.”

“No problem.”

Waving at Coulson, Natasha turned and left.

Half an hour later, inside the car.

“Actually, the best way to integrate into this World is to find a girlfriend.”

Looking at Steve, who was sitting in the passenger seat, Natasha smiled, “What do you think of Lilian from the information department?”

“Lilian? You mean the red-haired lady?”

“That’s right, her figure and looks are both excellent, and she’s also your fan.”

Hearing Natasha say this, Steve shook his head and looked out the window, “She is indeed beautiful, but I don’t want to start a new relationship yet.”

“Alright, but just watching movies and news won’t—”

Mid-sentence, Natasha saw a black Chevrolet parked outside Frank’s apartment.

“What’s wrong?”

Watching Natasha get out of the car and walk directly towards the Chevrolet.

Steve got out of the car and followed, asking.

“This is Lynn’s car. Did he also receive the Vampire’s skeleton?”

“Mr. Lynn Hall?”

Hearing Natasha say this, Steve looked towards the apartment.

Arriving outside the apartment, the two knocked on the door, and finding no response, they pushed the door open and walked into the apartment.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw that it was in disarray, clearly indicating a fierce battle had taken place here.

Seeing this, both of them became alert.

Especially after hearing the sound of Water running in the bathroom, Natasha immediately drew her pistol and aimed it at the bathroom.

As the bathroom door opened, they realized it was Lynn who came out.

“Are you also here to find Frank?”

Throwing the tissue into the trash can, Lynn greeted Steve, then said to Natasha, “You’re too late.”

Hearing Lynn’s answer, Natasha glanced at the room and said, “Did you and Frank fight?”

“Of course not!”

Facing Natasha’s inquiry, Lynn smiled, “When I came to find Frank, he wasn’t in the apartment.”

“As a result, a Vampire hiding in Frank’s house tried to attack me, and I took him down!”

Speaking of which, Lynn glanced at the time, “Want to have lunch together?”

“Your treat?”

“No problem!”

Inside the restaurant.

“S.H.I.E.L.D. also received a Vampire corpse sent by Frank. Coulson and I suspect this might be Frank’s warning to us.”

“It’s just that Frank’s phone can’t be reached, and there’s no one at his apartment.”

While eating lunch, Natasha said to Lynn, “Lynn, do you think Frank might be in some trouble?”

“He’s probably being targeted by Vampires.”

Wiping his mouth, Lynn said, “This morning, Frank also sent us a Vampire skeleton. After I called him and got no answer, I drove to his apartment.”

“You know what happened next, but the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation has already tracked Frank.”

“Perhaps it won’t be long before he’s found!”

No sooner had Lynn finished speaking than his phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was a video and specific location sent by Joey.

In the video, Punisher Frank was fighting a group of guys in black clothes at the alley entrance.

He was then ambushed with a tranquilizer dart and taken away by these attackers.

Almost at the same time, Natasha also received this message from S.H.I.E.L.D.

“The ones who attacked Frank shouldn’t be Vampires, since it’s daytime.”

“Who cares who it is? We’ll know when we go take a look.”

With that, after Lynn paid the bill, he drove towards the coordinates Joey had provided.

Brooklyn, outside a building.

“What’s wrong?”

Getting out of the car, Natasha looked at Steve, who was gazing at the building with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, and asked curiously.

“This used to be a club. There would be a dance every Saturday night. Before I joined the army, Bucky always brought me here for dances.”

“But I never danced once!”

Hearing Steve’s words, Lynn, who was nearby, walked over and said, “Missing the past again?”

As they were speaking, all three simultaneously looked up at the sky.

A golden-red suit of armor flew from afar, then landed in front of the three of them.

As the faceplate opened, Tony Stark looked at the three and said, “Wow, I didn’t expect you, Lynn, to be with Natasha again. Wait, who’s this handsome guy? Why does he feel so familiar?”

Looking at Tony Stark in front of him, Steve turned his head to Natasha, meaning to ask if this was Howard’s son?

Natasha nodded at Steve, indicating that this guy in the flashy armor was the son of his old friend.

“Tony, why are you here?”

Looking at Tony Stark, Lynn stepped forward and asked.

“Jarvis received some photos and videos. The videos showed some Vampires, and following the clues, I traced them here.”

Speaking of which, Tony took a step forward and said, “My goodness, I never thought Vampires actually existed in this World. Will there be werewolves or something too?”

“Also… damn it, I remember who you are!”

Mid-sentence, Tony Stark looked at Steve with some disbelief, “How is this possible?”

After recognizing the guy in front of him as Captain America, Tony was completely shocked.

After hearing Natasha explain the reason, Tony said to Lynn, “I still have a whole fresh steak in my refrigerator. Do you think the steak will greet Pepper when she opens the refrigerator tonight?”

Hearing Tony’s sharp tongue, Lynn shook his head speechlessly, while Natasha, who was nearby, said, “Tony, that’s not polite.”

“Polite?”

Hearing Natasha say this, Tony scoffed, “Someone who went undercover beside me and then gave me a shot in a restaurant talks about politeness? Wow, that’s truly shocking!”

“It seems this matter can’t be easily overlooked, right?”

“Of course, it’s not that easy to gloss over.”

Tony Stark didn’t want to explain to Natasha how his father used Captain America as an example to lecture him back then.

Although he had already reconciled with his father in his heart.

But whenever Captain America was mentioned, Tony Stark’s mind would conjure up every one of his father’s lectures, every single one!

Of course, this could also be interpreted as a form of jealousy, because Howard Stark had never praised Tony the way he praised Steve, even though Tony was a genius from a young age.

Steve frowned at the “malice” emanating from Tony Stark, but he didn’t want to stoop to the level of his old friend’s son.

Especially after Lynn stepped in to mediate and they entered the building in front of them, Steve glanced at Tony Stark, then followed Lynn into the building.

As soon as they entered the building, a chill assailed them.

Outside, the sun was bright, but the light inside the building was very dim.

Not only was the temperature much lower than outside, but the air also carried a fishy smell.

Gently sniffing the scent, Natasha, holding her gun, came up to Lynn and said, “It’s the smell of blood.”

Hearing Natasha say this, Lynn squatted down and looked at the footprints on the ground.

There was a lot of dust on the ground, and a row of messy footprints was very noticeable.

Based on the footprints, it wasn’t difficult to deduce that several people were dragging another person deeper into the building.

Following the marks deeper into the building, the four quickly saw a group of extremely strange-looking goats confined in cages.

These goats were covered in black fur, their expressions ugly and terrifying, staring motionless at the four, their eyes revealing a coldness.

Especially their ears, dozens of centimeters long, appeared extremely bizarre.

“My goodness, are these goats from hell?”

“These are Damascus goats. Don’t let their current terrifying appearance fool you; they are extremely beautiful when young, and the Bible says that God turned into a sheep and Satan turned into a goat, referring to this very kind!”

Hearing Lynn's explanation, Tony Stark frowned, "Why are there so many sheep here?"

"They must be for drawing blood!"

Natasha approached the cages and inspected the goats, then looked at Lynn and said, "The blood in these goats has been drained, and after being filled, they've been turned into specimens!"

"Done by those Vampires?"

Hearing Natasha's words, Tony Stark stepped forward and examined the terrifying goats, saying, "Vampires don't bite people anymore, they've switched to goat blood?"

"But what's the meaning of not discarding them after drawing blood, and instead filling them to make specimens?"

"I'm not sure yet, but it should have a deeper meaning!"

Lynn shook his head in response to Tony Stark's question.

After observing for a while, Steve suddenly said, "Legend has it that drinking a demon's blood in times of danger grants temporary demonic power."

"And the goat in the Bible represents the demon, so I speculate that those Vampires are about to face a major battle, and their opponent is extremely powerful, which is why they would drink this goat's blood."

Hearing Steve say this, Tony clicked his tongue and said, "As expected of an old-timer from the old era, he really knows a lot."

Steve shook his head in response to Tony's renewed taunt.

"So, those Vampires want to gain power using goat blood, but who is the enemy they want to deal with?"

"The New York Federal Bureau of Investigation? S.H.I.E.L.D.? Or Frank?"

Facing Natasha's confusion, Lynn recalled the skeleton Frank had sent over, then said, "The Lansas Family, a Vampire family that was annihilated six hundred years ago!"

With that, Lynn continued to walk further into the building.

Following Lynn, Tony Stark asked curiously, "How do you know all this?"

"As the Deputy Director of the FBI, it's normal for me to know things you don't!"

After searching the entire building, Lynn and the others did not find the Punisher who had been captured, nor did they find the person who attacked him.

They didn't even see a trace of a Vampire.

"I'm certain that after those guys captured Frank and entered the building, they never came out again, so there should be a secret room or something here."

"Leave it to me."

Hearing Natasha's words, Tony used his armor to scan: "Jarvis, find any hidden secret rooms or similar in the building!"

"Yes, sir."

As Jarvis used an infrared scan, he quickly discovered the hidden secret room within the building.

"Sir, there's a false wall behind you, to your left."

Hearing Jarvis's words, the four of them approached the wall.

Lynn stepped forward and pushed the wall open, and with a heavy grinding sound, the wall slowly began to rotate, revealing a dark passage before them.

They took out their lighting equipment and shone it downwards, discovering a long, dark tunnel below.

"Everyone, are you ready for an unknown adventure?"

With that, Tony Stark closed his faceplate and was the first to walk downwards.

They walked down the long staircase, and along the way, besides some tables and rooms, there was nothing else.

They opened the doors to those rooms and found that they were empty, with only some tableware and cups filled with fresh blood on the dining tables.

After searching a few rooms, Natasha looked at Lynn and said, "It seems that the guys who captured Frank and the Vampires have all left. If nothing unexpected happens, this secret passage should lead to somewhere in New York."

They continued to walk along the passage, and when the four emerged from the secret passage, they found themselves in another alley in Brooklyn.

At this point, they were only a few kilometers from the location of the previous building.

Looking at the bustling scene outside the alley, Natasha looked at Lynn and said, "Lynn, with Vampires entering New York, no one can be sure what will happen next."

"So, we must be vigilant!"

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Lynn didn't answer, Natasha asked.

"Do you think, given Punisher Frank's abilities, he was truly captured, or was he intentionally captured?"

He took out his phone and replayed the video of Frank being ambushed by a tranquilizer dart and then taken away by a group of people.

Lynn looked at everyone and said, "When I first saw this video, I had a feeling that Frank was intentionally captured."

"Although I haven't directly fought Frank, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, and the Illusionist once teamed up to try and capture Frank."

"But even with the three of them working together, the Punisher escaped, so do you really think that these few nobodies could trick Frank?"

Hearing Lynn's suspicion, Natasha and Steve carefully watched the video again.

Indeed, the battle in the video seemed intense, but Frank's every attack was effortless.

Even when he was ambushed and struck by a tranquilizer dart, Frank's collapse was too quick!

"Alright, it seems Frank was indeed intentionally taken away by these people. He must be tracking some clue."

Returning the phone to Lynn, Natasha said, "He sent the Vampire's corpse to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the FBI, probably to warn us that New York is not peaceful recently."

"Lynn, I still suggest that the FBI and S.H.I.E.L.D. team up this time."

Lynn nodded at Natasha's suggestion: "Of course, no problem, but only after the Vampires appear."

"Then I also need to go back and prepare!"

Tony Stark shrugged, "I've never actually seen a Vampire before, and I'm quite interested in these legendary creatures."

"By the way, besides ultraviolet light and silver weapons, do I need to prepare some garlic? And holy water, crosses, and such."

Facing Tony's question, Lynn smiled and said, "Forget about holy water, crosses, and garlic; Vampires aren't afraid of those things."

"How do you know?"

"Because I've encountered them!"

Patting Tony on the shoulder, Lynn said goodbye to Natasha and Steve and turned to leave.

Seeing Lynn leave, Tony looked at the two and said, "Do you need me to prepare anything for you?"

"No need, S.H.I.E.L.D. lacks nothing."

Shrugging, Tony Stark controlled his armor and flew away.

"He has a terrible personality, doesn't he?"

Looking at Steve, Natasha smiled and said, "But if you spend more time with him, you'll actually find he's quite good, although he's a bit arrogant, conceited, and self-centered, and he does as he pleases."

Hearing Natasha's string of evaluations of Tony.

Steve shook his head and smiled, "He's quite like Howard, both are geniuses, but his personality is much worse than Howard's."

New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"Boss, it's outrageous!"

Coming into Lynn's office, Sean said angrily, "I've already led the team to arrest all the criminals involved in the federal bank robbery."

"The money, diamonds, and gold bars they stole from the bank were all confiscated by us before they could even be sold."

"As a result, all the money, gold, and diamonds stolen by these robbers combined amounted to just over five million U.S. dollars, but the bank manager who was shot insisted that the robbers stole at least thirty million from the bank!"

Looking at Sean's angry expression, Lynn smiled instead, "Since the Federal Bank's manager said over thirty million was stolen, that proves that the five million you confiscated was not what the Federal Bank lost."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Lynn's words, Sean was stunned, somewhat unclear what Lynn meant.

"How much cash was seized from the robbers?"

"About 3.7 million, plus gold bars worth over 400,000 and diamonds worth over 900,000."

Sean answered honestly in response to Lynn's question.

"So there's still about 1.3 million worth of diamonds and gold bars, right?"

"Since the cash we confiscated wasn't what the Federal Bank lost, then file away the confiscated cash, find a place to melt the gold bars, and distribute it among the brothers."

With that, Lynn threw Sean a business card: "Call him, and he'll know how to handle the remaining diamonds."

Hearing Lynn's words, Sean's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the business card and smiled, "Thanks, boss!"

Watching Sean leave the office, Barbara said to Lynn, "Boss, is this okay?"

"What's the problem? Over the years, banks have been robbed, and too much money has been lost that couldn't be recovered. That Federal Bank manager knew this, which is why he insisted on a thirty million loss."

"Have someone investigate this Federal Bank manager. This guy is definitely not clean."

Hearing Lynn's order, Barbara immediately got up and walked out.

Leaving the office, Lynn went directly to the testing room.

Currently in the testing room, the forensic pathologist was examining the skeleton of the Vampire from the Lansas Family.

"Are the test results out?"

"They're out, boss. The cause of death for this skeleton was severe head trauma, and it also suffered torture before death."

"However, based on our detailed examination and analysis of the skeleton, we found that this skeleton has existed for at least six or seven hundred years."

Lynn was not too surprised to hear the forensic report.

This skeleton should be the one the Vampire in Los Angeles mentioned, a sun-immune Vampire born within the Lansas Family.

"Seal this skeleton. No one is allowed to touch it without my order!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Lynn's command, the forensic pathologist immediately nodded.

New York Airport.

Coming out of the airport lobby, two beautiful women wearing sunglasses were about to walk towards a black car by the roadside.

Before they could reach the car, a hip-hop dressed black man walked up and stopped them: "Hey, two beautiful ladies, you just got off the plane, do you have a car to pick you up?"

"If not, I can drive you in a sports car..."

Before the black man could finish his pick-up line, the two women simply walked around him and continued on their way.

Seeing this, the black man again stepped forward to block their path.

However, this time, before he could even speak, one of the women instantly grabbed his neck.

With just a few simple attacks, she knocked the black man unconscious.

"You hit him too hard. This will cause unnecessary trouble. Don't forget our mission this time!"

Hearing her companion's words, the woman who acted shrugged and said, "Don't worry, he won't die. He'll wake up in fifteen minutes at most."

"Besides, I hate these black men!"

With that, the woman walked directly towards the black vehicle by the roadside!

Sitting in the back seat of the black car, the woman who had just acted took off her sunglasses and took a stack of documents from the driver, beginning to read them.

"This person is your target this time. Not only did he cause the boss to lose seventy million worth of goods, but he also crippled New York's money bag, and even the organization in London was destroyed because of him."

Hearing the driver's words, the woman looked at the photo of Lynn Hall in the document: "Lynn Hall, New York FBI Deputy Director, Illuminati leader."

"Be careful when you carry out your mission this time, as the target is a top Agent by origin and also possesses superhuman abilities."

"His exact strength is unknown, but once you are caught, you know what to do."

After reading the documents, the woman returned them to the driver: "Don't worry, my sister and I have never failed!"

Listening to the woman's confident tone, the driver smiled and drove towards Manhattan, saying, "It's precisely because you two sisters have never failed that the organization sent you here."

“Also, while you're making a move here, a move will also be made in London. James Duke led his people to destroy the organization in London, and the boss is very angry!”

The car arrived in Manhattan, and the two women got out and walked into a hotel.

Watching the sisters enter the hotel, the driver pressed his communication earpiece and said, “Report, the two Sparrows are ready. Vulture requests to withdraw from New York!”

“Agreed!”

Hearing the other party agree to his withdrawal from New York, the driver immediately booked the earliest flight out of New York on his phone.

Three days later.

“Lynn, I want a vacation!”

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Laura looked at Lynn, who was driving, and said, “I’ve always heard how beautiful Venice on the Water is. I’ve never been there!”

Saying that, Laura took Polaris’s arm and said, “Lorna, don’t you want to go to Venice too?”

Hearing her best friend’s words, Polaris shrugged: “I don’t think there’s anything good to see, after all…”

“Just say you want to stay by Lynn’s side.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?!”

Hearing Laura’s words, Polaris’s expression changed slightly, and she secretly glanced at Lynn.

Finding that Lynn didn't show any abnormality, Polaris quietly glared at Laura.

“Hehe…”

Laura laughed a little embarrassedly, knowing that she had just said the wrong thing.

Laura knew that Polaris wanted to stay by Lynn’s side, because she could feel the sense of security she had lacked since childhood from Lynn.

Especially whenever Gwen snuggled up to Lynn and acted spoiled, Laura could see an envious look in her best friend’s eyes.

Clearly, Lorna also wanted to lean on Lynn and act spoiled to her heart’s content.

However, as for whether her best friend regarded Lynn as a brother she could rely on, or if it was a secret crush, Laura felt she still needed to observe.

She glanced at Lynn’s handsome profile, and then at her good best friend’s beauty.

Laura suddenly felt that the two of them were actually quite a good match.

“Want to go to Venice? No problem, I’ll help you book tickets. If Lorna doesn’t want to go, I’ll find you two professional tour guides.”

“You’ve worked hard at the Illuminati Base during this time, it’s good to go out and relax. Besides Venice, what else do you want to…”

Just as Lynn was speaking, his Spider-Sense instantly warned him frantically.

The next second, Lynn sharply turned the car, and a sniper rifle bullet shot directly towards Lynn’s direction.

“Bang!”

Due to Lynn’s rapid turning of the steering wheel, the sniper bullet directly embedded itself in the car body.

“Damn it, how is this possible?”

On the top of the building a thousand meters away.

When Maria Kobova saw that Lynn Hall had quickly swerved the car as if he had anticipated it the moment she aimed and pulled the trigger, her heart was instantly startled.

Almost the instant Maria fired, her sister beside her quickly fired a follow-up shot.

This shot hit the glass of Lynn’s driver’s seat, but Lynn’s car was specially customized by the FBI, so even a sniper bullet could not directly penetrate it.

“Not good, Eva, get out of here quickly!”

Hearing her sister’s words, Eva immediately got up, preparing to pack the sniper rifle.

“Don’t worry about that, go quickly!”

She pulled her sister up quickly and ran towards the passage, while simultaneously taking off her coat as she ran.

On the street!

When the second sniper bullet hit Lynn’s car window, Lynn immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road.

“Lorna, protect Laura!”

After speaking, Lynn instantly teleported and disappeared from inside the car!

After several teleportations, he arrived at the top of the building where the shots had just been fired. At this moment, two sniper rifles were still on the top floor of the building.

Looking at the discarded coats on the ground, Lynn had just reached the passage entrance when his Spider-Sense once again warned him frantically!

“FUCK!”

Without hesitation, he turned and leaped down from the seven-story building, using his teleportation ability to reach a hundred meters away just as he was about to land.

As soon as his body stood firm, the next second, the top floor of that seven-story building directly exploded.

“Boom!”

A violent explosion echoed throughout Manhattan, flames burst out from the seventh floor, and countless glass shards fell downwards.

A few seconds after the explosion, the entire building was engulfed in raging flames.

Clearly, someone had set this up in advance!

“Lynn, are you okay?!”

When Polaris and Laura ran over, Lynn had just put down his phone.

After seeing that Lynn was fine, Polaris quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The previous sniper assassination and explosion had truly startled Polaris.

“I’m fine!”

Lynn shook his head, looking at the hotel guests screaming and running out of the building.

Unfortunately, he didn't see any suspicious people among the panicked crowd running out.

When the fire department, NYPD, and other departments arrived, Lynn took Polaris and Laura away from the scene.

He hadn't expected someone to try to assassinate him.

Heh!

Back in the car, Lynn drove towards the Federal Bureau of Investigation while pondering what had just happened.

Whether it was the two professional sniper rifles, or the coat intentionally left to lead him to the passage during their retreat.

Or the bombs placed in the passage, and the ignition points set to facilitate their escape.

All of this proved that the other party was definitely a professional assassin, or rather, a top-tier Agent.

But who exactly wanted to kill him?

After thinking for a few seconds, Lynn thought of a possibility.

That was the transnational criminal organization that injured Uncle George.

After all, he had seized 70 million worth of their drugs and destroyed their money laundering organization in New York.

And Duke had also gone to London.

Thinking of this, Lynn took out his phone and called James Duke.

Since he had been assassinated, it was possible that Duke would also encounter the same thing.

Duke could die, but definitely not now.

After all, he still had a lot of use for him!

London.

“Take them all away!”

He waved his hand, letting his subordinates take away the last batch of fugitive transnational organized criminals.

James Duke was very proud; he had personally led the team to take down this transnational criminal organization, which would undoubtedly add another achievement to his resume, bringing him closer to the position of FBI Director!

Just as he was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.

“Lynn, is something wrong?”

After answering the phone, James Duke asked with a chuckle.

“Director, I was just assassinated. I suspect this assassination is related to the boss behind that transnational criminal organization.”

“You led the team to arrest this criminal organization in London, and I’m worried you might also be assassinated by them!”

Hearing Lynn’s words, James Duke quickly returned to his car.

As soon as the car door closed, the surroundings immediately exploded.

FBI agents, completely unprepared, died in the explosion. As the explosion ended, dozens of fully armed gunmen also launched a frantic attack.

“FUCK!”

Seeing this, James Duke immediately cursed, and at the same time pressed the in-car button to call for support.

New York.

Listening to the phone being hung up, Lynn drove towards the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.

It was clear that his warning had worked. As for whether Duke could survive this attack, it depended on how tough his life was!

Inside the office.

“Boss, are you okay?!”

As soon as he arrived at the office, he saw Sean and Alice and others running over in fear.

After seeing that Lynn was fine, the few of them breathed a sigh of relief: “We just heard that you were assassinated. Damn it, Boss, do you know who assassinated you?”

“You guys found out pretty quickly.”

Looking at Sean and the others, Lynn said, “It should be that transnational criminal organization that sent people to assassinate me. As for the assassins’ identities, it’s still unclear for now. However, judging from the assassins’ subsequent arrangements in the hotel and their escape methods, the assassins are clearly either professional killers or former Agents.”

“Joey, pull up all the surveillance footage from the hotel for the past week, as well as the list of all guests. Also, retrieve all surveillance footage around the hotel.”

“Alice, NYPD and the fire department are currently controlling the scene. You take your people to the hotel and inspect it carefully to see if you find anything.”

“At the same time, blockade the airports, stations, and ports, and investigate whether any suspicious people have arrived in New York within the last week!”

Hearing Lynn’s orders, everyone present nodded and then went to conduct their investigations.

After everyone left, Barbara asked with some concern, “Boss, will the people who tried to assassinate you make another move?”

Looking at Barbara’s worried gaze, Lynn said, “It’s still unclear for now. Generally speaking, whether it’s a professional assassin or an Agent, once an assassination attempt on a target fails, they will choose to leave immediately to prevent any accidents.”

“But this time, not only was I assassinated, but when I just spoke with the Director, he also encountered an attack on his end.”

“Heh, daring to retaliate against us so blatantly, this fully demonstrates the hatred that behind-the-scenes boss has for us.”

“So I think they might still continue with assassination attempts!”

“Barbara, assign some sharp guys to secretly protect Aunt Helen and Uncle George.”

Saying that, Lynn looked at Polaris and said, “Lorna, Laura, until this matter is resolved, you two stay with Aunt Helen.”

“Okay, I’ll go over there right away.”

Hearing Lynn’s instructions, Lorna immediately nodded: “But what about you?”

“Me?”

Seeing the worry in Lorna’s eyes, Lynn smiled: “Don’t worry, they can’t kill me!”

At the same time, opposite that hotel in Manhattan.

“Our assassination plan failed!”

Looking at the hotel, where the fire was now gradually being extinguished thanks to the firefighters’ efforts.

Eva turned to Maria and said, “Sister, Lynn Hall truly lives up to his reputation as a top Agent. The sniper rifle didn’t kill him, and our plan to blow him up inside the hotel also failed.”

“He didn’t even linger at the scene for a moment, which rendered our carefully prepared third plan useless.”

“Tsk, he’s the first one to evade the series of assassination plans designed by us sisters!”

Hearing Eva’s praise for Lynn Hall, Maria Kobova’s expression was grave as she said, “I have a bad feeling, Eva. Perhaps we need to leave New York right now!”

“Leave New York?”

Seeing her sister’s grave expression, Eva shook her head and said, “I admit Lynn Hall is formidable, but Vulture has already had Mole prepare identities for us, so there’s no need to worry about the FBI’s investigation.”

“Besides, Sister, you know what kind of person the boss is. Once we sisters fail to complete the mission to assassinate Lynn Hall, then I’m afraid when we go back…”
