FBI: Chapter 214/215

Chapter 214: Smart Guys First

Dante regretted it.

He regretted how he could have forgotten Ada at such a crucial moment.

Otherwise, he would not be so tired.

Dante stepped into the portal when the moon was high in the sky.

And now, the sun was already high.

Not a moment of peace, my family.

Rubbing his waist, he sat up from the headboard and found Ada already sitting in front of the mirror, applying lipstick.

She was positively glowing.

She glared at Dante through the mirror.

"Next time you dare to stand me up, hmph."

"Don't think you can be arrogant just because you are a Metahuman."

Dante swallowed hard.

It was too terrifying.

Especially after being enhanced by the Violet Light of Love.

Even Dante's waist was numb with a slight ache.

"Y-yes, ma'am."

Ada rolled her eyes, her anger from being stood up for a day barely subsiding.

Then she asked curiously,

"So, what exactly happened that made you willing to stand me up to complete it?"

"I already told you, I really forgot about it." Dante wiped away cold sweat, then sat next to Ada.

He briefly summarized the series of events in the most concise language.

Ada frowned more and more as she listened.

"The Family? You ran into those guys?"

"What, you know something about them?"

"Before joining the FBI, I had a period of cooperation with The Family." Ada shrugged. "But the near-nuclear destruction of Raccoon City was actually orchestrated by The Family behind the scenes."

"Then are you familiar with the name Derek C. Simmons?"

"Of course." Ada said, leaning against Dante's shoulder and stroking his cheek. "He is the worst, most tasteless, but most powerful illegitimate fan."

"If nothing goes wrong, this so-called Family already wants to extend its reach to the FBI and… Superman."

Even Ada showed a hint of shock when the word "Superman" was spoken.

"Are these guys tired of living? They are actually targeting Superman?"

"Let's not talk about whether they want to continue living. I certainly would not dare let them live." Dante shivered all over.

If they dared to target Superman today, they would dare to target Dante tomorrow.

These scumbags, who even abuse bioweapons and manipulate supervillains to achieve their goals, are nothing but harmful to the entire world and even the entire universe.

As Dante spoke, he opened his personal terminal.

After entering the code key, he entered the confidential frequency with Fury.

Then he sent Fury a video call.

A few seconds later, Fury's face appeared on the screen.

He was currently scribbling furiously on a stack of documents, and he looked up at Dante and Ada on the screen.

"Aren't you two on vacation recently?"

"Why do you have time to contact me?"

Dante picked up the bottled water on the table, took a few gulps, and then said,

"Fury, I want to wipe out The Family."

"Cough, cough, cough." Dante's first sentence startled Fury into a fit of coughs. "Why are you bothering with those guys when you have nothing to do?"

Fury stopped signing and looked up at Dante seriously.

"They are just a bunch of capitalists with power, who think they can control the national trend, but they are nothing more than that."

Dante pouted and dropped a bombshell.

"But they already want to make a move on Superman and his family."

"Who. On whom. Have they eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard?" Fury's single eye widened in shock. "Are you sure about this?"

"Last night, I just dealt with Lex Luthor, who was injected with the C-Virus, at Superman's hometown with Superman."

After Dante finished speaking, Fury fell silent.

But in that single eye, a hint of killing intent was revealed.

He did not really care about what these rich politicians were doing in the U.S. Government.

But now, they actually want to shake the strong power structure that Fury and Dante had painstakingly built.

If he did not even dig up their ancestral graves, he would not deserve to be called the King of Agents.

Before Fury could say another word, another video request appeared on his personal terminal.

It was from Harley.

"Dante, Harley is video calling, I will set up a multi-person conference."

After he finished speaking, the screen flickered, and then Harley's face appeared on the other half of the screen.

"Fury, let me tell you… Oh, Pudding, you are here too."

"Perfect, I was going to ask about this before telling you."

"What is it?" Dante frowned slightly. "Is there a problem at the farm?"

"With Clark there, what could go wrong?" Harley pouted, then said excitedly, "After you left yesterday, I had nothing to do, so I decided to organize everyone to investigate the KSI Company that is cooperating with the U.S. Military to hunt down Optimus Prime and the others."

"Guess what we found?"

"The actual controller of this company is a woman named Carla Radames."

Carla?

Dante raised his eyebrows. If nothing else…

This was the fake Ada from Resident Evil 6.

Thinking of this, he just glanced at Ada next to him, but did not interrupt the excited Harley.

"At first, we did not pay much attention, but when Lois traced back from this name, she found that she once served as the chief researcher in a research institute specializing in genetic cloning."

"And the director of this research institute is the name we heard from Lex Luthor yesterday."

"Derek C. Simmons."

Dante nodded.

Although all this was unexpected, it was reasonable.

If no one was pushing, the U.S. Military actually had no need to hunt down the Transformers.

And The Family's purpose was nothing more than to control John and Teddy through the Transformers, and then use this to threaten Jonathan and Martha, ultimately achieving the goal of manipulating Superman.

To be honest, Dante really gritted his teeth and praised them.

Their naivety was truly unique.

These big geniuses.

Are they planning to drag the entire world down with them?

Just as Dante was planning how to kill these big geniuses, Jörmungandr suddenly popped her little head into the video.

"Daddy, daddy. When are you coming to pick up Jörmungandr?"

"Be good, stay with Aunt Harley for a while longer."

Dante's mouth curved slightly, his smile gentle with a hint of ruthlessness.

"Wait until Daddy kills a few big geniuses with bubbles in their brains first."

(To be continued.)

Chapter 215: Tall Oaks City, The Hand

Tall Oaks City is located just northeast of Washington.

It is not industrially developed, but it is a city that focuses on cultural landscapes.

Although it is not a political center, thanks to Washington, many national agencies have set up their headquarters in Tall Oaks City.

And The Family is one of them.

But they are there because they can neither enter Washington, which would attract the FBI's investigation,
nor can they be too far away, as they need influence and control over current events.

Most importantly…

Simmons's selfishness.

He wanted to be closer to the perfect Ada in his heart.

So in recent years, The Family's headquarters have been moved to Tall Oaks City.

Because of this, there were actually many opposing voices within The Family, but in light of Simmons's achievements, they ultimately turned a blind eye.

At this moment, at The Family headquarters, in the core laboratory.

Simmons placed Carla, who had been injected with the C-Virus, in the experimental area.

Soon, Carla's body gradually secreted an uncomfortable black-gray viscous fluid,
gradually wrapping her into a…

And Simmons excitedly adjusted the parameters on the equipment.

This is one of the effects of the special C-Virus.

It can change the cell arrangement of the C-Virus host by adjusting parameters,
thus truly achieving metamorphic development indistinguishable from insects.

Changing appearances or anything else is too easy.

But just as Simmons was wholeheartedly transforming his Ada,

the communicator rang.

"What is it? I am very busy right now and may not have time to deal with it."

Simmons thought it was his useless subordinates again.

After answering, his expression changed.

"Simmons. I need an explanation."

"There is nothing to explain, Amanda Waller. I gave you the intelligence and created an excellent environment for you, but failing to capture those Transformers is your problem."

"Damn it. What I mean is, why did the FBI get involved? And it's that troublesome guy Dante."

Amanda Waller's voice was somewhat exasperated.

When the Autobots secretly cooperated with the U.S. Military, Amanda Waller had already set her sights on these overly righteous silicon-based beings.

She had always wanted to create a team to do the dirty and hard work for America.

Originally, Deathstroke and Punisher were the core of the team she envisioned.

Then, she had intended to use her connections to pull Deathstroke's cousin, Wade Wilson, into the team.

But she did not expect that kid to directly refuse her, and then he actively applied to join Coulson's team.

Then she tried to use past connections to win over Oliver Queen.

Unfortunately, it did not work out as she wished.

In addition, she also contacted many street heroes, but unfortunately, street heroes mostly have such a problem…

They despise the American Government and disdain authority.

They do not even care about the FBI, let alone Amanda Waller.

Thus, an exasperated Amanda Waller turned her attention to these powerful, kind, but not-so-bright Autobots.

Through a series of lobbying and The Family's operations, she successfully enabled KSI Company to create the artificial Transformer Galvatron, allowing the American Government to see more benefits than cooperation.

Thus successfully isolating the Autobots.

But she did not expect their luck to be so good.

At their wit's end, they actually latched onto this difficult guy, Dante.

Thanks to Nick Fury's firm information secrecy policy, the American Government did not know much about this person.

But Amanda Waller had her own clever plans, and she still managed to learn some deeper information.

But the deeper she dug…

The more she feared Dante.

The prosperity of the America General Bureau is almost entirely due to this seconded senior agent.

"Did you not always want Dante to disappear?"

Simmons's voice was tinged with malice and hatred. "I want him to die a terrible death."

Amanda Waller listened to Simmons's voice, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

Indeed, this guy, obsessed with Ada, harbored an absolute murderous intent towards Dante.

This is excellent.

Once Star Team is fragmented, that will be the American Government's opportunity.

The talents in Star Team are truly too scarce.

They must not be controlled solely by the FBI.

"Then you had better make good on your word."

Amanda Waller finished speaking and hung up the communication.

Simmons's originally good mood was directly ruined by this call.

"Dante…"

He gritted his teeth and silently repeated the name once more, then took a deep breath to calm himself.

He completed the gene editing of Carla.

Next, he just needs to wait for Carla to break out of her cocoon, and he will have his very own Ada.

And to make her a true Ada, then why not let the original body completely…

Disappear.

…

"Fury, are you sure the address you gave me is correct?"

"Are you questioning the FBI's intelligence capabilities? Or are you questioning my intelligence?"

"Of course, I am questioning both." Dante roared into the communicator. "Is this not a mental hospital? Is The Family, that can secretly manipulate the Western world's situation, hidden in a mental hospital?"

"Nonsense, this is a disguise. In recent years, The Family knows they have been too high-profile, attracting the attention of various General Bureaus, so they try to keep a low profile and hide their existence."

Dante stood outside the gate of Tall Oaks City Mental Hospital, his mouth twitching.

These people, using a mental hospital as a disguise…

That is pretty sick too.

But since Nick Fury gave him a definite answer, there should be no problem.

He sighed.

Dante stepped into the mental hospital.

"Hello, are you here for a mental examination or to visit a patient?"

As soon as he entered the gate, a nurse blocked his way.

Dante smiled and shook his head, pushing the nurse aside with his hand, then continued to walk inside.

As he walked, he manipulated the power of Chaos Magic to explore the entire mental hospital.

"Tsk, a mental hospital with not a single patient, this disguise is really quite perfunctory."

Dante pouted.

This is the so-called arrogance and pride of the rulers.

"Please do not proceed further."

"We do not receive impolite guests."

Ahead, several beautiful nurses appeared again…

But Dante could clearly feel that these seemingly delicate and beautiful nurses were all elite-level warriors.

"Do not block the way."

Dante tilted his head, just about to continue forward…

A ninja shuriken flew out from the side.

Dante calmly extended his hand and directly caught the shuriken in mid-air.

He looked at it and understood.

"When did your Hand become someone else's dog?"
