Selina, who was standing by, felt uncomfortable all over. She always felt that Luke's occasional glances were a little scary.
It's not a lustful look, that would not be scary. It's the look now, as if he's thinking of some evil idea, that's a sign of crisis.
I have to say, Selina is really getting to know Luke better and better. Just by looking at his eyes, she knows he is up to no good.
The two returned to the police station, said hello to Elsa first, and then went to find Dustin to report the case.
Dustin frowned: "That Stu... is so powerful? You can't catch him?" He never thought that Luke, the most capable fighter under his command, couldn't catch anyone.
The key is not that you didn’t discover it, but that you discovered it but didn’t seize it. There is a big difference between the two.
Judging from Luke’s previous record, doesn’t this Stu have to be incredibly powerful
Luke shook his head. “He was too alert. He ran away immediately after his murder plan failed. We even watched his girlfriend there for three days, but he never came back.”
Dustin nodded reluctantly.
He couldn't let Luke and Selina wait there indefinitely. These were the most capable and best investigators under his command, and their ability to fight was second to none.
Luke thought about it and told Dustin about Stu's strange behavior. He said, "Boss, I didn't tell the police about this."
After thinking for a long time with a surprised look on his face, Dustin stood up, patted Luke on the shoulder, and affirmed: "I will explain the situation to Deputy Director Condra. Your efforts will not be ignored. Well, do you need a rest? Come back to work tomorrow."
Luke shook his head. "No, it's still early today. Let's see if Elsa has any cases that need us. We'll start working this afternoon."
Dustin nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then you guys go get busy."
The two came out and went to Elsa.
Elsa was not polite and pointed directly at a file on the table: "This case is followed by Martin and Roger. It is quite dangerous. As usual, you can help follow it for a few days. If there is no progress, you don't have to worry about it."
Luke nodded: "Shall we go then?"
Elsa hesitated, but still asked: "In this case, you..."
Luke shrugged. "It depends. If the deputy director is more reasonable, we should be able to do him a favor."
Elsa frowned: "What's going on?"
Luke: "The murderer was too alert, and a little unusual. He disappeared after he failed, and we didn't catch him."
Elsa pondered for a moment and asked, "What did Dustin say?"
"He said it's okay and he'll explain the situation to the Deputy Director," Luke replied.
Elsa breathed a sigh of relief: At least, Dustin believed that the two of them had done a good job in handling the case this time, so he dared to give this answer.
"Okay, you can move freely today and we will start investigating the case tomorrow," she said.
Luke chuckled: "Thanks, boss."
Selina then said goodbye to Elsa and they left.
Elsa muttered in her heart: If the deputy director's favor is not accepted this time, can I try to apply for another group of detectives to be my subordinates? Even if they are newcomers, it would be fine.
Luke's couple and her own side can both be led, so that her team will be stronger.
If there was no benefit in the Wurzburg case, she would not have taken it on her own initiative.
Although Elsa has confidence in Luke, his rate of solving cases is not 100%.
Therefore, this case has a 50-50 chance of going well for Luke, and the same is true for Elsa.
She would only take the initiative to take it if both parties benefited from it.
She also has a share in the good things, and she is also the initiator of the bad things, so she has to bear a large part of the responsibility.
There are gains and losses, and that's fair.
After going out, Luke drove directly home.
Selina: "… What did someone just say? Going to investigate the case this afternoon, is that true?"
Luke: "Can't we study the files at home and prepare in advance?"
Selina: "It seems that I have been the one doing the research on the files?"
Luke: "Excuse me, I have good news for you."
Selina: "What?"
Luke: "Starting today, our training time, events, and intensity will increase. This includes but is not limited to shooting, fighting, vehicle driving, extreme parkour, swimming, running, etc."
Selina: “…Are you crazy?”
Luke: "I'm worried that you'll have a big belly. You eat so much every day, so of course you'll have to burn more calories."
Selina: "... Then will you cook a big meal for me every day?"
Luke: “Do it!”
Selina: "Deal."
As long as there is delicious food, everything is easy to talk about.
If others want Luke to help with training, they have to pay him five hundred to one thousand dollars an hour.
This is the most powerful man in the United States! Selina thought to herself.
But she didn't know that Luke could only be considered the most powerful man among ordinary people, because he was not an ordinary person at all.
After returning home, Luke quickly prepared a lunch, and in less than twenty minutes, the two of them started eating.
Afterwards, Selina had to clean up all the supplies in the kitchen, including washing the dishes and pots. Luke always only cooked and basically never did these cleanup tasks.
He was the same in his previous life.
I can cook, but I can’t wash dishes or pots.
Then, Selina began to study the files to digest the food, and the two of them would start training an hour later.
Luke went into the workshop in the garage and continued to modify and manufacture various equipment for him and Selina to use.
This world is so damn unsafe.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Luke pulled Selina out of the training room, carrying her like a dead dog.
A certain tough girl looked like she had lost all hope in life: "No, let me go! I can't stand it anymore."
Luke chuckled: "No, we still have to practice shooting today."
Selina: "But I feel that my level is just like this, it's hard to improve."
"You also said it, it is difficult, not impossible to improve, so don't resist, come with me to fight back." Luke threw the guy into the bathroom and went to take a shower himself.
His physical strength is still abundant, and the advantage of increased strength is even more obvious at this time.
Now he only needs to sleep two hours a day to ensure he is full of energy, and he doesn't have back pain. He also has no injuries from training, as they are all recovered instantly by primary self-healing.
However, if he wants to make some powerful equipment, he must first have a lot of money.
Thinking of this, he patted his forehead and called Bobby: "Hello, this is Luke. How is the discussion going over there? Is there any progress?"
Bobby was silent for a moment: "... My appointment was rejected. Three times! So..."
Luke said, "Oh!" He was not surprised. "So you haven't made any progress at all?"
Bobby said truthfully: "I'm sorry. But it is the truth."
