Luke really didn't know where this stone gate came from.
But just like the Destroyer was hit by an armor-piercing bullet at close range without even a scratch on its skin, that is something that the current science on Earth cannot understand.
However, things like these that come from unknown sources may have benefits, but they may also contain traps, so it is not advisable to act blindly.
It was difficult for anyone to take it away, so he decided not to investigate it further.
While the two were talking, Luke heard some noise and used his ability to scout above the pit for a moment. He looked strange, "Daredevil and his ex-girlfriend are here. Don't move. This guy's hearing can easily detect us."
Selina stood obediently, but couldn't help asking, "Ex-girlfriend? Isn't he afraid that Karen will run away?"
Luke groaned for a few breaths and said, "Maybe they can handle it."
Selina: “Are you talking about yourself?”
Luke: "I'm still a kid, not even 20 years old yet. I can't compare to an old man in his 30s with my experience."
Selina: “Hehe.”
After chatting for a while on the intercom, Matt and the other man appeared above the pit.
But before they could come down, several red figures jumped out from the darkness and surrounded the two men.
Luke narrowed his eyes, "Red Ninja? The Hand?"
These ninjas must have been alarmed by Matt and the other man, and they were definitely not here just now, otherwise Luke would have discovered them when he came in.
Selina: "What are these ninjas up to? I haven't seen them recently. I thought they gave up on Clinton."
Luke: “Let’s take a look first.”
The former couple above obviously had nothing to discuss with The Hand, and without saying a word, the two sides immediately started fighting as soon as they got close.
However, two fists are no match for four hands, and the former couple fell into a disadvantage within a few minutes. Matt decisively dragged his ex-girlfriend away.
It was obvious that the kid had learned a lot of wisdom recently and knew that he couldn't force things at certain times, or else he would suffer from concussions and sedatives.
Selina looked at the images from the drone left above the pit and suddenly asked in confusion, "Do you think that the leading red-clothed ninja looks familiar?"
Luke's eyes flickered. "Yes, I stabbed him in the head with a flying knife last time, and he died in front of us."
Selina's mind raced, and she asked in surprise, "Are they the group of red-clad ninjas by the river last time? But didn't you kill them all with your flying knife?"
Luke sneered: "I am also interested in this question. Resurrection of the dead is not a common case. Let's go."
Selina: "Not taking care of them?"
Luke: "Just keep an eye on them first. The Hand can't have just these few ninjas. Keep these few people and see if we can follow the clues and find their lair."
These are experience points that are delivered to your door, so don’t miss them.
He would not simply kill these red-clothed ninjas, as they might come back to life after a few days.
It was already a miracle that these guys could be resurrected from his hands once. If it happened a second time, it would be too embarrassing and he couldn't stand this humiliation.
After coming out, Luke installed surveillance cameras in hidden places around the building to completely monitor it.
The next day, Luke went to the office early in the morning to find Fudge and asked him to try his best to persuade the residents who had not moved out to accept the conditions and move out of the apartment building as soon as possible.
Fudge just thought about it, his face looked a little ugly: "Is there any danger?"
Luke didn't answer directly, but said: "I found some strange people sneaking in and out of the building. They are not small thugs. Living there, anything that happens may be affected."
Fudge did not doubt Luke.
Luke's character has been proven through his donations and actions time and time again.
More importantly, he liked Luke, so he nodded and agreed to the deal. "Actually, the relocation conditions offered by that company are pretty good. The remaining families didn't accept it because they are used to the convenience here and the public security has improved a lot recently. I'll explain the situation, and they should listen."
Luke nodded.
Clinton is the heart of Manhattan.
The reason why it had such a bad reputation before was mostly due to Kingpin and those gangs doing it on purpose.
With just a few reconstructions or renovations, a large amount of capital will pour in and real estate prices will quickly rise to desperate numbers.
In the United States, gangs that sell illegal drugs in old apartment buildings are everywhere.
It is rare to find gangs doing this in luxury office buildings and top-notch apartments.
At the same time, the high housing prices will provide sufficient tax revenue here, so the NYPD will definitely focus on protecting it.
At that time, it would have been difficult for any gang to conduct illegal business in the Clinton area.
No one is stupid in this world. Those who hold real estate in Clinton area are aiming to make a fortune one day.
Currently, the rent for houses in the Clinton area is not high, but the house prices have always been high.
For example, the five-story building that Luke owned was only purchased by Ginny because she used her connections to include the purchasing rights as a condition for the licensing of the titanium mobile phone technology.
If there are no other benefits, people won’t buy it just for doubling their money, but will wait for appreciation.
And most of the people in that apartment building are tenants, not owners.
Many people are reluctant to leave because of the convenience of work and life and the savings on commuting costs.
Considering their lives now, they will eventually choose to stay away.
After saying this, Luke wanted to leave.
Finally Fudge called him.
He waited for a few seconds, but the fat boy didn't speak. Instead, he saw the hesitant expression on his fat face, and he wanted to laugh: "Fudge, I'm not a woman. What's wrong with your embarrassing expression? Don't say you are ready to come out. I don't discriminate against this group, but I have no possibility of joining it."
Fudge couldn't help but raised his middle finger and returned to his normal state: "The community reconstruction project is almost finished, you know?"
Luke nodded.
The reconstruction project started a few days before Christmas last year. It is now mid-February, almost two months, and it is indeed time for it to be completed.
"What? There's a money shortfall, are you afraid someone will cause trouble?" He casually mentioned the biggest possibility.
Fudge shook his head repeatedly: "No. We'll keep an eye on this one, that's enough."
In fact, the donations were indeed a little off.
Fudge was already prepared to use part of the 50,000 "regular donations" that the firm could receive this month to make up for the shortfall.
Luke: “So what’s the question?”
Fudge: "Actually, I think it should be considered a good thing, but there are some minor problems for the time being."
Luke: "Speak. I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute. I don't have time to listen to your suspense."
Fudge was stunned: Shouldn't I, a lawyer, say this line? And I only theoretically make a few hundred dollars an hour.
After mentally complaining about the terrible opening, he still explained the details.
It turned out that the problem was with the temporary construction team, and it could not be simply regarded as a bad thing.
