It was useless even though the two women would carry out his orders almost without hesitation.
As long as he relaxes for a few days, they will consciously want to get rid of his orders.
Especially Black Sky Erica, the brainwashing effect disappeared more than twice as fast as Angel.
These two people can only be kept as temporary thugs! Luke thought so and did not feel disappointed.
It is impossible to always have a smooth life. Accidents and difficulties often come with us.
In such a peaceful day, the time came to June 18th.
This day happened to be Luke’s twentieth birthday, and also the second anniversary of the official activation of the system.
A low-key person like Luke certainly wouldn't make a big fuss about it.
He never celebrated his birthday in his previous life. At most he would go home and ask his mother to make him an extra portion of his favorite braised pork and a bowl of longevity noodles.
Other friends and the like might send him a text message wishing him a happy birthday.
It’s simpler not to remember those things, because that means he doesn’t need to remember the other person’s birthday anymore.
But Dustin didn't let him off so easily.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the boss of the boss once again proposed that everyone have a private gathering which had not been held for a long time.
Forget about Dustin's family. He is just a bachelor and is rarely at home, so he only rents a small apartment in Manhattan.
He and lawyer Jennifer were barely able to get by in there, but they definitely couldn't hold a party there, as two people couldn't even fit into the kitchen.
The final venue was decided to be Elizabeth's home.
This was Elizabeth's initiative, and no one had any objections.
The home that Elizabeth was talking about was not in Manhattan, but in New Jersey.
It’s just that this home is a little far from the Hudson River. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from here to work at the headquarters.
When everyone arrived, they were all amazed.
But Luke and Selina were just pretending, and the polyhedron intelligence system already had this information.
Dustin and lawyer Jennifer were a little surprised, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Only Elsa was the most surprised because she had been to Elizabeth's "home" several times. It was a single apartment in Manhattan. Although it was relatively spacious, it was still an apartment.
Now Elizabeth had quietly bought a house in New Jersey, which surprised her.
What surprised her even more was that there was also a "big bathtub" behind this small bungalow of more than 200 square meters - it was the same brand as the one in the backyard of someone's villa in Los Angeles, but it was more feminine in style and had more functions.
Excluding the weather factor, the environment of this house is about 60% similar to that of the villa in Los Angeles.
When Luke and Dustin were treated to a barbecue dinner and the four women changed into swimsuits and went to enjoy the big tub, this sense of familiarity became even more apparent.
Dustin was sitting in a recliner not far from the grill, drinking slowly from a bottle of beer.
It's not that he wanted to be lazy, but the things he baked were at best cooked through, and there was no standard for anything else.
Luke decisively told him to go cool off.
Dustin glanced at the four women on the side and couldn't help coughing lightly.
Seeing Luke's gaze, he lowered his voice and said, "Although I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of young people like you, we are friends after all. I advise you not to mess around."
(￣△￣!) Luke: I didn’t expect you to be this kind of Dustin!
"Your words only work if I'm 'playing'." Luke also lowered his voice: "But privately, Elizabeth and I have never had any contact alone. You're thinking too much."
Dustin frowned. He didn't doubt that Luke was lying. Lying in this matter was unnecessary and would cause trouble in the future.
He paused for a moment: "That's what Elizabeth did to you... huh?"
Seeing his "you know what I mean" look, Luke sighed and said, "I've mentioned it a few times before. I have a regular female friend. But that's all. I can't take the initiative to reject her."
Dustin certainly understood that this meant something Elizabeth hadn't said directly.
Just based on speculation and conjecture, why do we think that Elizabeth must like Luke
He couldn't help scratching his head: "This... You should be more careful. It's best not to let it develop to the point where it cannot be reversed."
Luke scoffed, "There's no development at all. Do you think I'm you? I'll stick with Jennifer whenever I get the chance. When are you getting engaged?"
Dustin was surprised: "Next month... Wait, I haven't told Jennifer yet, how do you know?"
Luke shrugged. "I guessed. But you're not a kid anymore. Jennifer is a very nice person. Don't miss the opportunity if she's right for you. As a man should say, don't hold back. Just do it."
At the party that night, Jennifer did not receive an engagement ring from Dustin, but Luke received birthday gifts from everyone.
Led by Selina, everyone came forward to rub his head, with a kind look on their faces: "Child, you have finally grown up." Including Elizabeth.
Luke had no choice but to accept it.
In most parts of the United States, eighteen years old is considered an important stage. Many people who do not go to college officially enter the workforce and are considered to have officially reached adulthood.
Twenty years old is the age at which one can definitely get married (in some places, one can get married at the age of sixteen or eighteen, but the consent of the guardian is required), which is considered mature.
Of course, there is also the rule that people over 21 can buy any alcohol without being refused.
So there is a joke that alcohol is more dangerous than women, driver's licenses, and guns.
Does this also mean that from today on, women are no longer the most dangerous thing to Luke
After dinner, looking at the four women who were drunk, Luke thought it would be better not to let down his guard too soon.
So he let Gold Nugget be the escort, and he and Dustin stayed away to have a private chat, still talking about the positions of commissioner and sheriff.
At present, the trends at the top level remain unclear.
The Mayor's stay or departure is uncertain, making it difficult to decide on the NYPD commissioner.
It is foreseeable that the current state of the NYPD will continue for several months.
However, the impact on the middle and low-level staff who actually do the work is not that great, and New York’s public security will not suddenly collapse.
Luke just listened most of the time, and then casually recounted how Sheriff Nelson was tricked at the Soderbergh villa.
The two of them didn't have time to discuss this in detail before, but now in their spare time they don't mind doing their old job and doing some case deductions.
"It should be Brad." Dustin took a sip of beer and said lightly: "If the problem has not been found yet, it is very likely his work."
Luke: “Is he so powerful?”
Dustin rarely talked about Brad in the past.
Firstly, Brad and Luke were quite far away from each other, and secondly, Brad himself had no intention of "meeting" Luke.
Dustin was really worried that Brad had pissed off Luke.
If it were more than a year ago, he would not have thought so, but as he got to know Luke's temper, he knew that he was a person who was warm on the outside but cold on the inside.
In other words, his so-called "heat" has always been just a disguise.
