Mindy chuckled, "They have no evidence. The surveillance camera where we were sitting was broken, and I stabbed her from under the table. Apart from the strong smell, there was no damage to their bodies."
Luke smiled: "That's good."
Mindy didn't get the lecture and persuasion she imagined, so she couldn't help but wonder, "That's it?"
Luke: “What’s missing?”
Mindy: “You don’t want to say something?”
Luke paused for a few breaths and nodded: "Well done."
Mindy: …
Afterwards, the little girl was in a good mood and accompanied Luke home. They had fun looking for gold nuggets for an hour before going home alone.
Although Luke was going to give it to her, she raised her little fist and shook it: “See, it’s a fist as big as a sandbag. It’s no problem to punch a little thug.”
Luke followed suit.
She had fought Nikki and the others twice in front of him, so he didn't have to pretend that he didn't know her strength.
Selina watched Gold Nugget escort Mindy downstairs before she raised an eyebrow at Luke: "Isn't she your long-lost sister?"
Luke rolled his eyes. "You're just dreaming. Do you think if you're right once, you'll always be right? I'm not Dustin."
Selina burst out laughing.
Last time she casually said that Justin Hammer was Dustin's long-lost brother, and it turned out that she was partly right. After coming back, she mocked Luke several times.
It's really hard to catch someone in the act of making a mistake.
In fact, in a sense, Mindy should be considered Selena's "sister".
After all, among the teammates recognized by the system, besides Robert, there are only two of them.
After laughing for a while, she stopped laughing and asked, "How is the investigation going on with the Hand?"
Luke shook his head. “We found several more shell companies, all of which were registered decades ago. Unless we find paper documents, it will be difficult to continue the investigation.”
Selina: "So, we can't do anything about the Hand?"
Luke chuckled: "No, as long as we spend some money, there will always be someone to help us find these things. It just takes a while. After all, those are not computer files, so we can only find them bit by bit. Don't worry, they can't run away."
Paper documents are difficult to find, but it is also easy to make mistakes when destroying them, and perhaps a few documents will be missed somewhere.
So he was not in a hurry.
A few days later, news came from the polyhedron system.
The intelligence of the Sentinel Special Service has been basically locked down.
Just as Luke imagined, this organization only has one secret research base.
Originally, this base was located near DC. It was the one that was attacked by Luna and her team. Afterwards, it was moved to Lake Alkali in British Columbia, Canada.
And since then, for security reasons, the capture team and the base have been divided into two systems.
Last time, the bald guy was only responsible for handing over the person to the base, and he didn't know where the new base was.
Compared to the United States, Luke's polyhedron system's surveillance of other countries is much weaker.
Titanium phones are mainly sold in the United States, Canada is vast and sparsely populated, and Lake Alkali is a deserted place. In the end, the location was speculated based on the movement of vehicles.
This is why Luke has not been able to find the base, but this location is very advantageous for his cleanup operation.
Until now, his biggest concern has always been the official power of various countries.
The Sentinel Special Service moved its research base to the wilderness of Canada, which was equivalent to setting up a closed place.
Even if they have other reinforcements, it would probably be difficult for them to get there.
Luke began to prepare an action plan in an orderly manner, and adjusted his daily routine to ensure that Selina could help him for a day or two.
Before leaving, he went to see Carol and Lorna.
He was still using the alias of the old mercenary who collected money, so when he appeared in front of the two women, they were able to remain calm.
Luke sat on the sofa and couldn't help laughing as he watched Carol bring him a cup of coffee.
Carol's action of serving coffee was very professional. She used to be a waitress in a restaurant in Houston. It seems that she can adapt well to the peaceful life that will follow.
He took out a document from his bag and handed it to the two of them: "Sign it, and you can report to the company tomorrow."
Carol picked up the document and signed her name without even looking at it.
However, Lorna went through the document from beginning to end. Although she did it quickly, she did read it all.
She then raised her head and looked at him: "Black and White Mask Records Company? What can we do when we go in? Sing or dance?"
Luke: "For the time being, doing odd jobs is more suitable for your hidden needs. Cleaner is a good position."
Lorna's eyes widened: "What?"
Luke shrugged: "I go to work at nine in the morning and get off work at three in the afternoon. What's wrong with you?"
Lorna was stunned: "It doesn't say that in the contract, right?"
Luke: "Cleaner, why is the contract so detailed?"
Carol was already secretly pulling at Lorna's clothes from behind.
She felt that as long as the two of them could live like normal people, being a cleaner would not be unacceptable.
Moreover, they said it was temporary, which clearly meant to give them time to adapt and complete the transition from a hiding and wandering life to a normal life.
Lorna glared at Carol unhappily and finally said nothing more.
She was actually only sixteen years old and had not even finished high school when she started wandering. She didn't really understand the contract and was just pretending to be mature.
After putting the signed contract back into the bag, he signaled to Carol and they walked out the door.
Luna wanted to follow, but unfortunately she was not thick-skinned enough and her personality was a bit tsundere, so she could only watch the two of them leave.
As Luke and Carol walked downstairs, he took out two stacks of US dollars and handed them to her: "My employer asked me to give you this resettlement allowance. You won't get paid for another week, so don't starve to death."
Carol wanted to refuse, but after hearing the last sentence, she took the money with a wry smile and put it away.
These two stacks of US dollars are both in twenty-denomination notes, which actually only amount to four thousand US dollars.
I can return it to Luke when I have money in the future, she thought.
"I'm going to look for that research institute. Is there anyone in particular you want to find?" he asked casually.
Carol shuddered and stopped: "So fast?"
Luke: "I can't help it. They paid me."
Carol was speechless, and after a moment she shook her head: "I don't have anyone to save, just do your best."
She always had some doubts about this mysterious mercenary.
It's not that they doubted that he had any plans for them, but they had no hope of completely destroying the Sentinel Special Service.
She felt that it was not something that could be done by one person.
There were seven or eight companions at the beginning, all of whom had super powers, but in the end, only she and Luna were left.
