Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1020: Side effects of new abilities (3 more)

Views:

At this moment, after talking about the family disputes over the past year, Lindsay suddenly felt relieved. Most of the uneasiness, entanglement, anxiety, and boredom accumulated in her heart dissipated, and her whole body became more relaxed.

Looking at Luke who was still sitting there with a faint smile on his face, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed again: "I'm sorry for making you hear so many boring things."

Luke took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly: "I can understand, and you don't need to be too grateful to me. Let me tell you a piece of news, I work in the NYPD Headquarters Police Detective Bureau, and yesterday the Police Detective Bureau received Your family's 200,000 donation."

Lindsay was taken aback: "This..."

Luke: "Don't worry, the money didn't reach my account, and it's not my job to raise donations. I just want to say that your parents still care about you."

Lindsay sighed: "I know, I also understand these days."

Luke chuckled: "As long as the police station doesn't receive any more calls from you, then even if my work is overfulfilled, my boss won't rush me to do things. That's fine."

Lindsay smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I really trouble you."

Luke waved his hand: "I promised your mother that I would have a chance to talk to you, but now I don't think there is any need to say anything more. You and them both know where the mistakes were before, but they just can't open up for the time being."

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, he continued: "It is a very happy thing to have a family who cares about you. Don't cause more misunderstandings for insignificant things. Take the things you told me today seriously. Talk to your mother again, I think she'll understand."

Lindsay lowered her head, letting her long hair hang down, covering her face.

After being silent for a while, she nodded slightly: "Thank you, I will."

Luke got the answer, so he didn't say anything more, just took out his phone and looked at the message sent by Selena.

This guy is already preparing everything for Christmas with his family and has sent a lot of photos.

With her, younger siblings, and parents, the whole family is busy at the ranch, looking happy and happy.

Luke smiled: This is the normal state of a family.

Lindsay over there didn't know why. Luke's words could only be regarded as clichés, but she just listened to them.

Perhaps it was because of his attitude. Thinking so in her heart, she raised her head, instead of looking directly at Luke who was on the side sofa, she glanced at him obliquely.

At this moment, Luke was in a leisurely manner, crossing his legs.

He was holding a mobile phone in his hand, fiddling with it leisurely, with the corners of his mouth curled up a little, as if he was smiling.

Unknowingly, Lindsay became dazed looking at this scene.

Luke knew she was looking at him and didn't care.

This happens to many women when they see him recently.

Unless they ignored him in the first place, the more they looked at him, the more attracted they would be to him.

In this regard, he made some speculations.

This may be due to the fact that the spiritual attribute improves his temperament, and the reason why the strength attribute makes him more handsome.

It may also be caused by the manipulation of primary pheromones. The effect of this ability is not yet fully understood, but it is almost not difficult to get the favor of women.

Of course, this is just goodwill, or pleasing to the eye.

Women who are not interested in him will not change their aesthetics.

But if the other party just likes his model, then this kind of favor will be strengthened.

The frequency of his being approached has increased dramatically in recent days, which is obvious evidence.

Because of this, Luke seldom stays outside for a long time these days, unless he brings a "grass protector"—such as Selina, such as Elena.

In fact, even if Irina was there yesterday, several bold girls came up to ask for (send) their phone numbers, their intentions of poaching were undisguised.

Luke could only refuse with a smile, and then ran away with Elena.

Because of this, Irina was distressed for a while, and even said "what will happen in the future".

Luke decisively stated that his taste is very picky and he is not so easy to be poached.

Such words naturally resulted in Yi Lianna's scolding and "beating".

Half an hour later, a staff member called away the dazed Lindsay.

Seeing Luke nodding to herself and playing with his phone again, she felt peaceful in her heart.

Yes, she watched Luke there for half an hour, and the scene of the deer bumping did not appear, but became "Buddhist".

Of course it was still Luke's handwriting.

He didn't mean to provoke Miss Lindsay.

He also didn't want to mess with her protective mother Aurora.

Therefore, he used his abilities a little bit to keep Lindsay from being intoxicated by his "beauty", and then slightly affected her mental state, making her calmer and less impulsive.

His ability to use it is not strong, but Lindsay has no defense and resistance mentality, and it is "output" for half an hour.

Lindsay is expected to stay in this "Buddhist" state for a week or two this time. At that time, she should stop arguing with her family, and Luke's "case" can be regarded as a good help from the beginning to the end.

Not long after Lindsay left, there were bursts of exclamations and discussions.

After listening to a few words, he knew that someone offered a million dollars to buy a painting by Munro.

Who knows if this kind of thing was arranged by Lindsay himself.

In the art market, this kind of routine is too common, not surprising, and it has nothing to do with him.

Luke quickly withdrew his attention and continued playing with his mobile phone.

At this moment, what he was looking at was not the Christmas reunion pictures sent by Selena, but various materials.

After the spirit of 40, his ability to use fragmented time is stronger, and he can immerse himself in learning and thinking in just a few tens of seconds.

In the past two days, he spent a lot of time having fun, but not all of it was spent on Elena.

From last night to this morning, Elena slept for almost six hours, but Luke only slept for two hours.

At two o'clock in the morning this morning, when the future female artist in his arms was sleeping soundly, he had already started his daily overtime work.

After more than ten minutes, Elena and Margaret were brought over by the staff.

After the coffee was served, the two women talked to him about what happened just now.

Luke just hugged Elena, who was a little excited and envious, and heard from her that two of Monroe's paintings were likely to be bought just now.

One of the asking prices was about 1.2 million US dollars. This was the first uproar that Luke heard. The painting was also one of the main works of Monroe's exhibition.

The other one is lower, $800,000, and it is also one of the main works this time.

Luke chuckled inwardly: If this was Lindsay's method of operation, then Monroe's mainstream works would be labeled "Millions of Dollars".

If anyone wants to buy him in the future, the price will fluctuate around one million.

If it is hyped a few more times, the price will become several million for a single frame, and Lindsay can get half of the money.

Thinking of Lindsay's unintentional mention just now that she suppressed nearly a hundred works of Monroe, he couldn't help but feel hehe.

The success of the hype, coupled with the appropriate frequency of sales, means that at least tens of millions of starting fortunes are in hand, and Lindsay will never have to worry about money in his life.
