It was rare for Claire and Selina to see someone looking so stupid.
After laughing for a while, Claire put her hands on her cheeks and said, "Make a wish, young man! Who knows, next year you may find that all your wishes have come true!"
Luke smiled and nodded, clasped his hands together, and silently made a wish in his heart.
"What wish did you make?" Clare asked again.
Luke laughed and hit her on the head: "You ask every time!"
Claire said regretfully: "You never told me anything every time."
Luke smiled but sighed in his heart: Every time I make a wish, it is for everyone to be safe and happy!
But here, this wish is undoubtedly a luxury.
Therefore, he made this wish every birthday, hoping that it would have some effect.
After a simple birthday ceremony, Selina went to turn on the lights: "Okay, we can cut the cake."
The saliva of a certain dog is already dripping like a waterfall. It loves cream cake very much, and the one with strawberry is even better.
There are no fresh strawberries on today's cake, but there is strawberry jam on it, and its dog's mouth is already thirsty.
Luke had just cut the cake when his cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, then said with a smile, "This is Catherine and the others' number. Well, I've already cut the cake, you can start eating."
The two women and a certain dog-head began to divide the "stolen goods" with great interest.
Luke went to the sofa, answered the phone, and started chatting with Catherine with a smile.
On the other end of the phone, Catherine wished him a happy birthday as soon as she opened her mouth. Then Robert was pulled over by her and also said a blessing.
A certain rough guy is just so arrogant.
In fact, Luke heard the slight sound in the microphone and knew that he was next to Catherine, listening with her.
After the birthday wishes, the formal chatting began.
Luke expressed concern about their romantic journey, and Catherine smiled and said that Robert was too conservative and covered himself tightly even on the boat.
Luke listened and laughed, but said nothing.
He had little say in the matter.
Who makes him like to cover himself tightly
In order to hide his guns and equipment, he always wore a loose T-shirt or shirt on the outside. During his daily duties, he did not use the waist holster that many detectives used, but continued to use the inconvenient underarm holster.
Some of Robert's habits are similar to Luke's, and he also has other considerations such as covering up scars on his body, and of course he doesn't dare to expose his body casually.
After a few words, Catherine was about to hang up the phone when Luke suddenly heard a commotion on the other end.
He frowned: "Robert, what's going on?"
Catherine was silent for a moment, then she spoke hesitantly, "He just went to check on the situation. It seemed a bit... noisy outside?" Her tone was also somewhat doubtful.
Luke: "Don't hang up, and don't go out. Wait until Robert comes back."
Two minutes later, Robert's voice rang out: "It's a bit troublesome. Unidentified armed bandits appeared on the ship. I have seen more than 40 of them. These guys have definitely received formal training and are very methodical. It is very likely that this action was premeditated."
Luke's mind raced: "Don't rush in, Catherine is still here."
Robert was impatient: "You take me for an idiot. If I were alone, I would kill them... Ah, I'm sorry, dear, I was wrong."
Apparently, the rough guy was glared at by Catherine again.
Luke: "Try to delay as much time as possible and don't confront them. I'll get you reinforcements."
Robert sneered: "I'm drifting in the Atlantic Ocean now, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest land. Where can you find reinforcements?"
Luke: "I just made some money."
Robert was stunned: "So what?"
Luke: "Twenty million US dollars, what do you think will happen?"
Robert choked.
What can you do with 20 million US dollars? A retired special forces elite like Robert can hire dozens of them to do an emergency private job.
If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
He was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, I won't look for anyone else."
If he just asked, he could get a lot of reinforcements, but he didn't want to owe favors to certain people.
Even though Luke and he always bickered when they were together, this was family.
Luke wanted to do his best for his and Catherine's safety, and he had no right or need to stop it.
Luke: "That's it. Remember, for Catherine's sake, Robert, don't act rashly."
Robert was angry: "Get out!"
Isn't this just to make him act cowardly? Well, that's exactly what he intended.
Luke was right. With Catherine around, Robert didn't dare to take any risks.
He was even glad that when discussing the travel plan with Catherine, he chose to send Joseph to his grandfather instead of taking him with him.
Otherwise, he and Catherine would be extremely anxious.
Luke hung up the phone and smiled at the two women who were already looking at him suspiciously: "There's a small situation. I need to go deal with it."
Claire asked nervously, "Did something happen to mom and the others?"
Luke patted her head and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm afraid of Robert when he gets angry. Don't underestimate him."
But Claire still looked very worried.
Luke didn't delay any longer: "Don't worry, your brother is rich now, and I can hire someone to keep them safe." As he said that, he winked at Selina, then made a gesture like a dog head with his hands behind his back.
I went to the garage and drove out. A certain dog head also quietly came out of the house and jumped into the passenger seat.
"Whatever you can do, find me a plane that can fly directly to New York. It has to be the one that takes off and arrives the fastest." Luke started the car and called Ginny. "At the same time, contact a small plane that can be used for parachuting in New York. I need it to take someone to the location of 43.09 north latitude and 296.31 east longitude. It also has to arrive there as quickly as possible!"
Ginny was silent for a moment, repeated the longitude and latitude, and said, "I'll get back to you in five minutes." Then she hung up the phone.
Luke put away the phone, looked at the gold nugget sitting obediently beside him, and sighed: "Wait, come with me. Are you afraid of skydiving?"
Gold Nugget looked at him with contempt and barked.
Luke understood what it meant: "Okay, if you perform well this time, I'll give you a bonus when I come back."
Jinnu's eyes lit up and he started to sob.
Luke: "Ten thousand is the minimum, no upper limit, how about it?"
Nugget hummed and nodded with satisfaction.
After saying these words, the phone rang.
After the call was connected, Ginny reported the location of a private airport, and then said: "This private business jet will arrive at a private airport in New York in four to five hours. I will contact the kind of plane that can be used for parachuting that you want. You can confirm whether it is suitable before arriving in New York. I will have it waiting at the private airport before you arrive in New York and ready to take off at any time."
Luke: “Thank you.”
Ginny was silent for a moment: "Be careful."
Luke put away his phone and glanced at a dog head: "What are you looking at?"
