Luke knew things wouldn't be that simple.
Those previous words were just his deliberate simplification of the description.
But with thousands of lives involved and public opinion being the root of all rumors, even though Damon is mentally mature, the thought "maybe I am partly responsible" occasionally flashes through his mind.
Why didn't Luke have this thought? Because he had a system.
After stopping the experimental subject's attack, the system gives experience points as high as 70,000.
Among them are Selina, a three-star teammate, and Mindy, Alice, and the little turtle master and apprentice, who are one-star teammates. It is conservatively estimated that 5,000 lives were saved to get such high experience points.
In other words, if he had not summoned the team to go out together that night, at least thousands more people would have died in New York.
It's a simple choice: to stand by and watch thousands of people die, or to work hard to reduce the death toll to just over a thousand.
Hearing Damon's words, Luke just smiled and said, "Did you order the experimental subjects to enter New York and start a massacre?"
Damon shook his head subconsciously: "How is that possible."
Luke spread his hands: "We are just passive defenders, and the battle takes place among the people. As long as the experimental body is replaced with a missile, thousands of people will die if you don't stop it from falling, and a thousand people will be killed if you stop the scattered aftermath. Will you not stop it?"
Damon was speechless.
Luke: "Don't be fooled by the hypocrisy and lies of the outside world. Your own heart is the only answer."
He raised his hand and pointed to his heart: "As long as it tells you that it is right, then do it."
Damon remained silent and nodded slightly.
Mindy touched her chest, her eyes flickering, and suddenly interrupted: "My heart tells me that it doesn't want to take so many cultural courses. It thinks this is the right thing to do. Can I choose this way?"
The two men looked at each other sideways: How much do you resist going to school that you can come up with such a ridiculous reason
Luke smiled and patted her head again: "Then let me tell you the second half of what I just said."
"The bigger the fist, the louder the voice, and the more obedient people will be." His leisurely voice sounded: "If you want to do the right thing, first you must have a strong enough fist to make others obey."
Mindy's mouth dropped open.
The first part of this statement is like a solid bowl of chicken soup, while the second part is based on the truth without any water.
She subconsciously looked at her own small fist, then looked at her father's fist which was as big as a sandbag: Well, in the end, whoever has the bigger fist is right in this world.
…
Luke felt relieved after leaving Damon and his daughter's house.
Damon's mental state was only slightly affected, so he should be fine now.
Mindy is simpler. Just use a little pheromone manipulation to make her ignore those annoying programs and remarks and just be a student.
This is in line with what the big loli is thinking, and she herself is not interested in thinking about those bullshit things.
This kind of pheromone induction that goes with the flow will have a long-lasting effect and there is no need for a follow-up check within one or two months.
The bowl of poisonous chicken soup given to Mindy Loli at the end was also the truth.
Is Luke living such an easy life now just because he firmly believes that he is right
No, what made him so relaxed was also money, and the various powers and strength enhancements that money brought.
If he were really an ordinary superhero, even if he had assets worth tens or hundreds of millions, he would still be living a very tiring life now.
But the triple blessing of money + power + his own fighting ability makes him invincible.
By using these strengths, he can know who wants to deal with him, and also know how they want to deal with him.
Then, it would be his turn to figure out how to deal with these people.
In the eyes of those big guys, this incident may be a fishing game. They are the ones sitting on the fishing platform with fishing rods in their hands, and Batman and the superheroes are just fish, and it all depends on when they will take the bait.
But Luke feels that this time it is actually more like the American stand-alone version of "Dark Forest Law".
In the dark forest of America, Batman and those big guys are hunters.
Whoever reveals his true identity in advance will become the prey.
However, there are barely two sides in this game, the bosses are almost a group, and Batman is alone.
So the big guys think they are the fishermen, not the prey.
But Luke had already squatted outside their encirclement, recording each of them in his little black notebook. He could also check these prey one by one and pick and choose the best ones.
Shooting from behind is his specialty!
…
After comforting Damon and his daughter, Alice's situation became much easier.
She and her daughter Carrie don't watch the news, and they don't read the comments online.
The mother and daughter just watch TV dramas, do various fitness exercises and fighting training, and live a simple life.
So when Alice suggested finding time to take Carrie to the amusement park, Luke agreed without much hesitation.
When Alice asked Carrie which amusement park she wanted to go to, Carrie became conflicted when she heard that she had the right to choose and the final decision.
There is more than one place she wants to go, but she can't tell which one she wants to go the most.
Luke didn't care about this. Even if he chartered a plane to Los Angeles for a trip, it would only cost a small amount of money.
Give the girls time to think freely and let them search for information online before making a decision.
At this point, Luke's "internal pacification operation" only has one last target left - the little turtle master and his apprentice.
Ivan? Sorry, this guy doesn't need to be comforted at all.
He was born a villain, and he has already turned over a new leaf by not killing a few innocent people. Now some people say that his chivalrous behavior is not perfect
In response, Ivan just hugged two girls in the bar, watching the silly female hosts on TV talking nonsense, with a wicked and crazy smile on his face: "Suka Bulie!"
The two girls were so charmed by this smile that they almost lost their souls and couldn't help but clamp their legs together.
This decadent yet handsome face is so suitable for this kind of smile, coupled with the unruly look in his expression, they can't wait.
Ivan didn't watch the news anymore and went out with the two girls in his arms.
Rather than watching those old and ugly female hosts and guests chattering on TV, he prefers to listen to girls yelling words like "Oh my God" and "Oh yes" in his ears.
While Ivan was busy flirting with girls, Luke entered the temporary new home of the little turtle master and his apprentice wearing a bat armor.
The little turtle and his apprentice were very happy about his arrival.
Especially since Selena also came with a huge stack of cheese pizzas of various colors, she smiled and patted the four little turtles on the head before feeding them "turtle" food.
Luke could only roll his eyes.
Thanks to the mask for saving Batman's style and preventing this very un-gentlemanly expression from showing.
Apparently, Selena's preference for pets seemed to have gone astray since the appearance of the gold nugget.
But if you think about it, Meidao should be considered a pet raised by her parents, not hers.
We can only say that she also likes dogs, but we cannot say that her favorite pet is a dog.
Looking at the four somewhat silly, somewhat round, and somewhat cute Forgiveness Beasts, Luke sighed: Just let them be pets, they can just be fed with some cheese pizza baked in smart kitchenware anyway, which is much easier to deal with than gold nuggets.
