A red flash appeared in Luke’s line of sight as he quickly turned his head and said, “Slow down. She went into the street on the left.”

This time, Selina no longer reacted excessively. She turned around at a normal speed before driving toward the street Luke mentioned.

When they arrived, the street was completely empty.

All they could see was an untidy street devoid of people and illuminated by bright sunlight.

After thinking for a bit, Luke drew his gun and checked it quickly before stuffing it back into the holster. “Let’s get out and take a look around.”

Although the case had been taken away from them, it now involved the resurrection of the dead.

How could Luke resist something so interesting?

He made sure Selina was behind him before he took the lead in the search.

Selina asked, “Where?”

Luke’s gaze landed on an old iron door and said, “She went in there.”

Selina asked, “Do we go in as well?”

This time, Luke hesitated.

They didn’t have a warrant. If they entered however they wanted, they might receive complaints as a result. Moreover, entering the building would also put them in more danger.

Taking Selina into such danger for the sake of his curiosity was certainly something he needed to think about properly before making a move.

Just as he was thinking, his keen hearing caught wind of some sounds coming from behind the iron door.

“Hide,” he whispered.

Selina immediately hid behind the car while Luke quickly stepped forward and hid next to the iron door.

After a few seconds, the door was kicked open.

An AK poked out the door, before a person rushed out.

Without any hesitation, Luke reached out with both hands. He grabbed the AK with one hand before grabbing the hand holding the gun with the other. Then, he flung the person down.

The person holding the AK was thus slammed to the ground.

This was the benefit of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It could be used to either subdue or injure the opponent.

This person was wielding an AK in a large city like Houston. He clearly wasn’t a law-abiding citizen.

When Luke looked at the person now lying on the ground, he immediately realized something.

This person was a Latino, and from the vicious tattoos all over his body, this person looked nothing like a normal law-abiding citizen.

Luke was about to crouch down and inspect this person when footsteps sounded from inside the building again.

He frowned.

The person he had slammed into the ground had in fact run out in a disorderly fashion with a flustered expression.

This time, the footsteps he heard were rather subdued and calm, signifying that the newcomer was a well-trained person who could control his pace even when running.

Luke picked the person up from the ground and hid behind him as he strained his ears and focused on the approaching footsteps.

The footsteps suddenly stopped. Luke’s heart thumped as he counted to two silently before pushing the person he was holding toward the door.

At the exact same moment, someone jumped out the door as well. The newcomer crashed into the person Luke tossed over, and the two were immediately tangled up together.

At that moment, Luke raised the AK and shouted, “HPD! Freeze!”

The newcomer was by now on the ground. When he heard the shout, he was slightly stunned. When he saw the AK Luke was holding, his face was filled with disbelief. “Who are you trying to fool? No police officer in America uses an AK!”

Nevertheless, with an AK pointed at him point blank, he naturally didn’t dare move.

At such a distance, the AK could easily kill him.

He quickly begged, “Please don’t fire.”

Luke strained his ears and didn’t hear any other footsteps, but heard some gunshots instead.

Luke said, “Selina, show him your badge.”

The person on the ground blanked out. “He’s really a cop?”

A short time later, someone walked out behind him. When he looked at her, he realized that she was a pretty woman holding a Glock 23.

In her hand was a wallet which clearly showed her badge and ID.

The person on the ground finally heaved a sigh of relief. “We’re on the same side. I’m from the FBI.”

Luke wasn’t shocked to hear that, but Selina was.

Luke didn’t seem to care. “Drop your gun. Right now.”

That person helplessly dropped his gun.

“Keep your hands up,” Luke continued.

That person did as told.

Only then did Luke step forward to kick the gun away before saying, “Lie on the ground, face down.”

The person cursed. “Can I show you my badge?”

Luke replied, “No. Get down, now.”

That person had no choice but to obey.

The moment he did that, Luke stepped forward and pounced on him before cuffing the person’s hands behind his back.

Getting his hands cuffed was rather painful, but the man could only say, “I have my badge with me. It’s in my chest pocket.”

Luke reached inside and took out a badge.

Indeed, he found the FBI badge and ID, and they didn’t look fake.

“Selina, make a call to the department and have them verify this ID,” Luke said.

Selina walked over, picked up the ID, and took out a phone from Luke’s pocket before walking to the side to make a phone call.

After a while, she ended the call. “They’re verifying it. It’ll take a few minutes.”

The person appeared to be in a rush. “I’m in the middle of a mission. Can you hurry up? My colleagues inside are in a shootout with the criminals.”

Luke had been paying attention to the sounds inside the building. He had indeed been hearing the occasional gunshot.

In fact, he already knew who this person was.

Standing there, when Luke looked at the person lying on the ground, his heart thumped.

Surprisingly, he had encountered a major world organization, just like that.

System: You have defeated Cheney Spiegel. You may now learn all his abilities.

Cheney Spiegel’s abilities list: Basic firearms, basic combat, basic information analysis... and so on.

All that wasn’t the point.

Luke had a habit of messing around with the system whenever he was free, to figure out how the system operated.

Progress had been slow, but he had still found some hidden functions.

For example, after he unlocked an ability, he could actually see a short description of the ability. But the description would only show up upon his request.

Robert’s basic firearms had a description stating that this ability was a product of his time in the United States military. As for Salazar’s basic special combat, the system indicated that this was the product of his time in the United States SWAT.

Presently, this was what Luke saw in this person’s abilities list: Basic firearms (product of S.H.I.E.L.D.), basic combat (product of S.H.I.E.L.D.), basic information analysis (product of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

S.H.I.E.L.D.

After a long wait, Luke had finally run into a member of this organization for the first time.

Perhaps he had seen one before, but if he had, he wasn’t aware of it.

Luke’s eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

Cheney said urgently, “Can you hurry up? Which department are you from?”

Luke replied, “Westside.”

Cheney was overjoyed. “I just saw your deputy chief this morning, the Thomas guy. You can check with him directly.”

Luke finally understood who the four men in black he had seen previously were.
