Claire even said that she would come here to play with Luke and Selina during her holidays.
Luke smiled helplessly at this.
He and Selena work too long hours and have no time to spend with their family.
Catherine knew how hard police work was, so she dispelled Claire's thoughts with just a few words. She also brainwashed her daughter: "If you really want to come here, then study hard and get into USC or UCLA. Then you can find a job here and stay in the same city with those big stars anytime, anywhere."
Claire suddenly realized: "Yes, I must study hard."
Luke: ...Children are so gullible.
Joseph: ... Then I still have to wait for more than ten years
The happy days passed quickly, and on January 3rd, Luke finally sent Robert and his family on the plane.
When saying goodbye, Claire couldn't help crying, and Joseph was reluctant to leave.
Robert and Catherine were much nicer, just silently patting his shoulder, hugging, and saying goodbye.
But Luke knew that this situation would be the norm in the future. If he wanted to live more freely, he couldn't be with Robert and the others all the time. That would only bring danger to them.
After calming down, I waited at the airport for three hours to welcome the returning Elsa.
As soon as Elsa got in the car, she couldn't help but kick off her high-heeled shoes and complained, "I shouldn't have gone back. Damn it!"
Luke smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Elsa: "That Tiffany girl got married and had a son, and now she's showing off in front of me. She even boasted that her husband is rich and works as a manager in a three-star hotel in Miami. Damn, looking at her expression, I thought her husband slept with Hilton."
Luke smiled.
The competitive spirit among women has always been the same from ancient times to the present, from the East to the West.
"Unless you want to find someone to marry, there is no point in being angry." Luke chuckled and said, "Everyone has their own choices. Since you didn't choose her path, why are you angry? With your ability, you can do something else, even as a private detective, specializing in catching evidence of adultery, and you can make a lot of money. It's much more than being a small detective now, so why do you still work hard for it?"
Elsa listened to this and gradually calmed down.
She was also blocked by words and had no one to talk to.
Hearing Luke's words now, it was like finding a soulmate: "Yes, I like this job. I don't want to stay at home and get married and have kids, so I joined the Los Angeles Police Department after college. This is the life I like. There's no need to compete with that bitch."
Luke chuckled and said nothing more.
It is difficult to explain the philosophy of life.
Some people think it is worthless, while others think it is above everything else.
Luke himself doesn't actually have any philosophy in life. He just wants to live a happier life with fewer worries.
He basically achieved this in his Buddhist life in his previous life, because he was reborn before he reached the age where he had to consider various old age issues.
In this life... Either you die in a battle, or you live a wonderful life.
There is no need to think too much, because the world will push him forward. Those who do not move forward can only become the background board of superheroes, and perhaps one day they will die silently in the ruins of a war.
I picked up Elsa today, so the mission is considered completed.
The two of them will officially start work tomorrow, so Luke has nothing to do today.
While driving, Luke took out an address that he had long recorded in his mobile phone and quickly found the place.
This is an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Los Angeles.
He crawled in through a tattered wire fence somewhere, walked around the factory, and finally relied on his sensitive sense of smell to smell the faint smell of gun oil and found a well-hidden basement.
Luke opened the door carefully, using his keen sense of smell to its full potential, and after several minutes he finally walked into the basement.
He couldn't guarantee that the violent father and daughter wouldn't install some secret measures here, such as booby traps.
The basement is not big, only about ten square meters, perhaps it was a storage room of the original factory.
Luke turned on the cold light he brought with him, checked for a moment, and finally took out a bag of cash from the compartment of a tool box on the table.
He opened it and saw that it was full of rolls of US dollars. He checked the values below and found that they were not large, basically twenty dollars each.
Twenty volumes, twenty sheets per volume, twenty dollars per sheet, only eight thousand US dollars.
Luke didn't really care about how many things there were here, they were all picked up for free.
Without exchanging with the father and daughter, it would be difficult for him to get back the huge amount of black money.
I checked other things and found only two pistols, a p226 and a hkp7.
There is also a HK416 automatic rifle and a German G3/SG1 which is between a rifle and a sniper rifle.
There are not many bullets, just over 200 in total, which is averaged out to four guns, with only 50 rounds per gun. Basically, each gun can hold two magazines.
Luke didn't find it strange either.
This must be just a backup location. The cash and guns are only needed for emergencies, so there can't be too much.
But when Luke saw this place, he felt a little moved.
Perhaps, I can find a similar place as my secret base
In the suburbs around big cities like the United States, there are many such abandoned factories that have been ignored for many years.
The population is not large to begin with, and most people have gathered in the city center. There is nothing here, so of course no one comes here.
But after thinking for a moment, he temporarily gave up the idea.
This requires some time to investigate the geographical location. Now the garage in his home can be used as a temporary processing workshop, and he can find a room to carry out precision-made products.
As long as he doesn't deal in any dangerous or prohibited items, his small villa will be enough for the time being.
Of course, only temporarily.
Once it involves confidential things, they must not be left there, otherwise anyone who comes in can see everything.
Luke didn't touch the guns. He just took out the money and drove around Los Angeles. He bought a lot of tools and supplies with cash in many places and transported them all back home by car.
Although he wasn't particularly wealthy, he could already afford to buy himself some gadgets to use, otherwise Tony Stark's four primary abilities worth 1,000 points would have been wasted.
What Luke lacks most at the moment is the ability to move at high speed.
On a flat surface, he could solve this problem with a car, but when faced with the most common buildings in the city, he would undoubtedly encounter too many difficulties with his bare hands.
Without mentioning anything else, let’s just say that Batman doesn’t have any superpowers, but with the help of various small props and that black cloak, combined with his strong physical strength and flexible reaction, he can move at high speed in the city.
Luke felt that Tony Stark’s research and development capabilities couldn’t be worse than Alfu’s, right
