When the first rays of sunlight in the morning poured into the earth, Lisa in the kitchen skillfully prepared breakfast for the child, and just as she was pouring an egg into the frying pan, the doorbell rang without warning.

"Who could it be so early?"

Lisa muttered, and after extinguishing the fire, she got up and went to open the door.

After the door opened, five men in suits and leather shoes appeared in front of her, led by a middle-aged white man in his 50s, who looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them for a while.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" asked Lisa as she looked at the middle-aged man led by her.

The middle-aged man took out a document from his suit pocket and handed it to Lisa. "I'm Daniel Thomas, the deputy director of the CIA. ”

"Oh......!" Lisa said as she took her papers. "I've seen you, on TV news. Lisa smiled, but at the same time wondered how the CIA could suddenly find her.

"Mr. Thomas, may I ask you what's the matter?" said Lisa, returning the papers to Daniel Thomas.

Daniel Thomas took the papers, put them back in his pocket, and looked at Lisa and asked. "Can I go in and say?"

"Of course!" Lisa said, making a gesture of please.

Once everyone had entered the room and taken their seats, Lisa asked again. "Mr. Thomas, may I ask you what's the matter?" she vaguely thought that the CIA had come to find her, and it might have something to do with her husband.

Daniel Thomas heard her inquiry and was silent for a while. "Mrs. Antonio, I have come to you this time because of your husband Antonio. ”

Daniel Thomas looked at Lisa as he spoke, and then said solemnly. "Madame Antonio, here... It is my great regret to inform you that your husband Antonio died heroically last night in the waters of the Gulf of Aden to rescue the crew who had been held hostage by pirates. ”

"Sacrifice ....... ”

Lisa's mind went blank when she heard the word.

"No... No... Not ......"

Lisa waved her hands with a pale face and looked at Daniel Thomas with a sense of luck. "Mr. Thomas, I think you are mistaken, my husband is the vice president of the Jackson Trading Company, and he is doing business in Poland and will not show up in the Gulf of Aden at all, let alone sacrifice. ”

Looking at the panicked Lisa, although Daniel Thomas couldn't bear it, he still told the truth. "Mrs. Antonio! Your husband is not the vice president of Jackson Trading at all, his real identity is that of the head of the CIA station in Poland. Because of his work, he used his position as vice president of Jackson Trading Company to cover up. ”

"No...... I don't believe it...... I don't believe it,......" Lisa said this, but in her heart she believed Daniel Thomas's words, and she couldn't accept the sudden death of her husband, and immediately began to cry.

She is still young, her children are still young, what will she do in the future? At this moment, she felt a deep helplessness about the future.

Daniel Thomas, who was on the side, looked at the heartbroken Lisa and sighed helplessly, and then gently walked to Lisa's side and comforted her. "Madame Antonio, I know that nothing I say at this moment can alleviate the pain of losing your husband in your heart, but I still want to tell you that your husband Antonio died to save people, and he is a hero. ”

"No....... Lisa snarled at Danielto Maas. "I don't need heroes, I just want husbands. ”

Daniel Thomas shook his head helplessly, bringing the dead back to life, this kind of thing can only be done by God. "Mrs. Antonio, I am very sorry for your husband's sacrifice, and I hope you can take care of your health, and the child still needs your care. Daniel Thomas said as he handed the handkerchief to Lisa.

After Lisa's mood stabilized a little, Daniel Thomas continued. "Mrs. Antonio, in addition to telling you the news of your husband's tragic death, I am here to take you to HSD, your husband's body will arrive at HSD tomorrow morning, the President has ordered a state funeral for your husband, and the War Department has also allowed your husband to be buried in Arlington National ......Cemetery. ”

When Daniel Thomas picked up Lisa to HSD, thousands of miles away at Morgan Manor, John was sitting at the table enjoying breakfast, and he was joined by Morgan Sr.

Unlike Morgan Sr., he didn't like to read the newspaper when he ate breakfast, he preferred to watch TV.

Of course, the content that airs on TV is generally NBC's morning news program "Today."

"Hello everyone, welcome to today"

After the opening music plays, the familiar voice of the host is heard on the TV.

Unlike usual, today's host is a bit serious. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very sorry to broadcast a news to you, at 22:12 HSD time last night, a search cargo ship in China was attacked by Somali pirates when passing through the Gulf of Aden, 13 CIA agents rushed to the scene of the incident to rescue the attacked people after learning that the cargo ship was attacked, but in the rescue process, 13 agents died on the spot, and all 47 crew members on the cargo ship were brutally killed. ”

After the host finished speaking, he paused, and then continued. In response to this incident, White House spokesman McGrath officially held a press conference this morning. ”

After the host finished speaking, the TV screen shifted to the White House press briefing room, and press spokesman McGrath stood in front of the podium with a serious face. "At 22:12 HSD on December 13, 13 CIA agents and 47 citizens of our country were attacked by Somali pirates in the waters of the Gulf of Aden and brutally killed. ”

McGrath left the press conference room angrily without waiting for the reporters to ask questions, leaving a group of reporters with blank faces.

And with the release of this news, the whole world is boiling, except for the war factor, this is the first time that the United States has lost so many people abroad.

And John saw this news, but his heart was a little uncomfortable, the 47 citizens mentioned in the news are actually the staff of the hijacked oil tanker, these people died because of him in the end, if he didn't hijack the oil tanker, these people would not be killed by Charles now.

inexplicably carried 47 lives, and it was uncomfortable to put it on anyone, but he couldn't do anything, what could he do about it.

After a brief moment of discomfort, John reconsidered the news he had just made.

It was clear that Charles had already made the move, and apart from the fact that he couldn't accept the death of 47 crew members, he still admired Charles in other places.

First, 47 lives were used to portray Antonio and others as saving heroes, and these people were eligible for state burials and admission to Arlington National Cemetery, and then the pirates who led the troubles to Somalia.

John believes that when the angry people of the country demonstrate in front of the White House to demand severe punishment for the murderers, Charles will raise the banner of justice and justifiably take action against the Somali pirates.

When the time comes, no one will accuse him of his actions, and no one will dare to stop the revenge of the United States.

It can be said that Charles's move killed two birds with one stone, both fulfilling his promise to himself and cleaning up the Somali pirates.

After thinking about it, John couldn't help but nod for Charles, and at the same time quietly looked at the old Morgan on the side, he was afraid that the old Morgan would suddenly ask himself after seeing the news, why did he use more than 100 million favors from the Rockefeller family to exchange Antonio's people to enter Arlington National Cemetery.

But it turned out that he was overthinking, let alone asking him, and the elder Morgan lacked even the interest to look up at the news.
