After saying that, he gave a thumbs up.
"Fu...that was just an ordinary auntie in leopard print..."
Hawke suppressed the American curse that had just escaped his lips, forced a smile, took a wad of American dollars from the drawer and tossed it to Gu Ziyun, "You two go stay out for the night, I'll arrange new accommodations for you later."
After kicking the two out, Hawke breathed a sigh of relief. His house had good feng shui, and young models and actresses often came in and out to have their houses blessed by him. He couldn't let his house be overheard every time, could he?
The phone vibrated again; it was a encrypted message from Andy:
The fish has taken the bait. Bates' vultures have smelled blood in Busan and are attempting to cover their tracks and transfer assets. The 'leaked' list has already caused a stir among the target population, and initial assessments indicate that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention has been drawn.
8. Clearly, she wanted to take a shortcut.
Hawke put down his phone, resumed his serious expression, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Andy's efficiency remains as astonishing as ever.
Hawke's "King" signature, which he deliberately left on the Busan base's main server, and the top-tier luxury watch that "accidentally" appeared when the base was destroyed, were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
Bates Capital must be in a terrible predicament right now, facing the risk of being attacked by Alexander Pierce and having its secrets exposed, while desperately trying to cover up its tracks. It might even resort to desperate measures and do something even more foolish.
This is exactly what Hawke wanted—a chaotic enemy is more likely to make mistakes and is easier to eliminate completely.
The involvement of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a crucial part of the plan.
If he hadn't drawn the [Conceptual Immortality] ability, he might have continued to keep a low profile and secretly targeted Bates Capital.
But with the concept of immortality, he seemed to have gained immense power, daring to provoke S.H.I.E.L.D. and even provoke Hydra.
The description of the concept of immortality clearly states that it encompasses the entire omnipotent universe.
Therefore, it can be understood that at least an omnipotent, universe-level being would personally eliminate him, otherwise it would be difficult to die.
Let alone the fact that this is most likely the cinematic universe, even looking at the entire Marvel universe, how many omnipotent universe-level beings are there?
Even the most powerful figures in the cinematic universe couldn't erase him. Even if Thanos collected the Infinity Gauntlet and temporarily disappeared, he would return again before long.
Moreover, at this point in time, Tony is just a playboy, Captain America is still lying in the ice, Doctor Strange is researching his neurology, and Captain Marvel is nowhere to be found in some corner of the universe...
What can S.H.I.E.L.D. do against him?
Skrulls? Hawkeye and Black Widow?
Or should we just send out a hundred Quinjet fighters to bombard each other?
There's absolutely no exaggeration!
This attack by Bates Capital has indeed angered Hawke.
Since this incident happens to be related to both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, it is necessary to give them a warning.
Nick Fury's one eye never misses a clue about any supernatural or superpowered events, especially those involving bioweapons programs.
In Hawke's view, Hydra, lurking in the shadows, is more dangerous than S.H.I.E.L.D.
Who knows if Hydra still has projects of that caliber, like Project Witch? And how many?
Hawke needs the "attention" of this king of agents, and he needs S.H.I.E.L.D.'s vast intelligence network and deterrent power to stir up trouble and relieve him of the pressure from Hydra, or even deeper forces.
However, he doesn't intend to reveal his identity as the king to S.H.I.E.L.D. yet, so he can only use this tactic of "half-concealing his face while holding a pipa".
I'll tell you the information that I am the "King," but if you ask me if I am, I'm sorry, I don't admit it!
Let S.H.I.E.L.D. investigate the "King" and the ruins of Busan; Hawk Lane is still the heir to that business empire.
Hawke's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, the rhythm steady and cold.
“You’re the next target, Bates Capital…” Hawke picked up his slightly cold coffee, his light brown eyes reflecting the data and reports on the screen.
This includes a significant amount of dirt on Bates Capital, ranging from minor extortion to major crimes like murder and arson...
There are also many commercial crimes.
Hawke packed them all together and sent them to Andy.
Then, just as he was about to go to bed, his phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at it and saw a message from Adriana Lima among his 9999+ unread messages.
"Dear Mr. Hawke, are you asleep?"
Hawke casually replied, "Asleep."
"Mr. Hawke, I'm downstairs, please let me up! Please!"
Hawke peered downstairs and, sure enough, saw a woman wrapped in a coat standing in the wind, sighing.
"Come on up, the password is 004321."
Yes!
Adriana downstairs jumped up excitedly.
He rushed into the lobby, entered the password under the astonished gaze of the security guard, and entered the elevator.
Adriana Lima.
A supermodel from Brazil, a Victoria's Secret Angel, a contracted Victoria's Secret lingerie model... and also one of the many supermodels at the Hawke Yacht Silver Party...
A moment later, Hawke opened the door for Adriana, and a charming woman, wrapped in a thick coat, walked in with a smile.
It has to be said that at only 25 years old, she exudes the charm of a mature woman, yet her eyes are filled with the innocence of a young girl.
As soon as she entered the room, she threw off her coat, revealing a fitted black pencil skirt that accentuated her slender waist and pert buttocks. Her long, shapely legs were encased in black fishnet stockings, making her exceptionally alluring.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Hawke smiled slightly and welcomed her in.
"It has indeed been a long time. What has our young and handsome Mr. Hawke been up to lately?"
Actually, he and she weren't that close at all; they'd only fought a few times. Now that Adriana was so eager to approach him, it was clear she was trying to seduce him again!
really.
ten minutes later!
In the bathroom corridor, the sound of Adriana's high heels clicking on the floor echoed.
……
Two hours later, Hawke looked down at the alluring Adriana Lima, reached out to stroke her delicate face, and finally pinched her smooth chin, saying with a smile:
"Alright, just say it. What do you want? I'm in a good mood right now, so it's okay if you make a slightly unreasonable request."
Adriana is worth several million dollars, and she is very young with a long career ahead of her.
While this amount of assets may seem insignificant compared to the Ryan family name, it doesn't mean she's just some escort girl who can be easily applauded by anyone.
When Adriana approached him, Hawke knew that the woman wanted something from him.
However, for Hawke, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Adriana looked at Hawke with resentment. Was it really necessary to make such a thing so blatant?
It's fine as long as everyone knows the truth; what's the point of revealing it?
I can do it, but you can't say it!
However, seeing Hawke's growing impatience, Adriana quickly explained the situation.
Adriana is at the peak of her career and has recently been selected as a candidate for the cover girl of this issue of GQ, a top global men's magazine. Although she is very confident, her competitors are also very strong.
Clearly, this is yet another lost sheep trying to take a shortcut.
9 The most dazzling students
The Lane family were among the directors of the magazine's publisher, and she wanted to ask Hawke to write a letter of recommendation.
"You're really ambitious!" Hawke smiled slightly and said, "It's a piece of cake, no problem."
After saying that, he got up, picked up a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter of recommendation in a few minutes, handing it to Adriana:
"Is that okay? If not, I'll go home and ask my husband to write you a letter."
"Alright, alright."
Adriana accepted the letter of recommendation and smiled happily.
She was quite self-aware; for such a small matter, a letter of recommendation from Hawke, the son of a board member, would suffice. If Hawke were to ask old Ryan for help, then she would be incredibly arrogant.
“OK.” Hawke nodded and said, “Then goodbye.”
He turned around and was about to see Adriana off.
"Wait a moment."
Adriana tugged at Hawke's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Hawke asked, puzzled. "Is there anything else?"
"I haven't properly thanked you yet!"
"Wasn't it the same before?"
“That was just a polite gesture.” Adriana tossed her long hair, exuding charm and allure, her eyes gleaming with seductive allure. “The real thanks haven’t even begun yet! You’ve solved something that’s been bothering me for so long, how can I possibly thank you?”
Polite?
Is this what they call polite boarding in the entertainment industry?
Increased knowledge.
As for how Adriana expressed her gratitude...
Hawke pondered for a moment, then said:
"Then let's give our thanks!"
under night.
Manhattan remains brightly lit.
The night was filled with the shimmering neon lights, making it exceptionally enchanting.
The city lights illuminated the entire city, and the traffic flowed smoothly. Thousands of streams of light converged into an eternal fountain of light, meandering freely through the crowds, creating a dazzling spectacle.
