Luke coughed: "No, I just lament the impermanence of the world."
Robert looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then finally gave up.
He doubted it, but had no proof.
On this day, we wandered around New York City until five o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone returned to the small villa and began to pack up and prepare to go home tomorrow.
Robert hesitated for a while, but still took Luke outside the house.
The two were walking on the cold street, and he finally asked, "Do you... have any news about my old friend?"
Luke hesitated and shook his head slightly: "I only found out that his real identity is Frank Custer, but his family no longer lives in New York."
Robert froze for a moment, and remained silent for a long time: "Forget it, if he can return to a normal life, it's better than anything else."
Luke: "He is very important to you?"
Robert sighed. "Three times he saved my life."
He didn't say any more words.
Luke certainly understood the meaning of this.
Robert is a very affectionate guy. Although he is usually rude, he always remembers the favors he owes others, and will repay them in excess when he has the opportunity.
It can be said that he is a very loyal man.
Fortunately, he went to serve as a soldier when he was young. If he really went to join a gang, he was afraid he would be tricked to death.
Frank Custer saved him three times. This is undoubtedly a fatal friendship, or a friendship that cannot be more iron.
Luke could only be thankful that he didn't speculate that Frank might be in trouble, otherwise Robert would definitely be restless.
This matter, I can only help him do it myself.
Without Robert, Luke would not have grown up to eighteen in such comfort and health.
The American stepfather has a much worse personality. Meeting Robert, who is no worse than his own father, is really a blessing for eight lifetimes.
Although he always likes to bicker with Robert, Robert is his relative.
The position of Robert and Catherine in his heart far exceeds that of his parents who passed away early in this life.
The two people's love for nurturing and accompanying him over the past ten years has penetrated deeper into his heart than pure blood relationship.
After briefly talking about this topic, the two returned to the small villa.
Catherine looked at the faces of the two of them, and didn't ask any further questions, but only asked them to help pack their luggage.
On the morning of December 28, Luke sent everyone to the airport early and entered the VIP lounge as usual.
Although he seldom flies, he has VIP cards of major airlines.
After sitting for a while, he got up and said to go shopping, and then looked at the scenery near the airport runway.
In fact, he was using his keen sense of smell and his gradually proficient elementary sound waves to conduct security checks.
It wasn't that he was nervous, but that on Christmas Eve, it was said that a plane crashed at an airport over there due to an air-cloth attack.
The airport in New York has also increased its vigilance and security check level, but Luke believes in himself more.
Suddenly, Selena sent a short video with a message: "Look, what is this?"
Luke thought she was bored, and sent him the chocolate cake that his younger brother and sister failed to make.
At first glance, the failed cake looked like a piece of cake, but it was still thin, and the success made him sick.
However, he still opened the short video.
As you can see in the video, it is a typical Texas wilderness, and then there is a big pit.
There seemed to be something stuck in the center of the big pit, and many people were watching forcefully, laughing and laughing.
Selena was standing on the edge of the big pit and shooting down, and her voice also sounded: "Is that a hammer?"
Luke froze for a moment, always feeling that the scene was a little bit familiar.
Then, Selena sent a series of pictures and texts.
From the past, it should be that she was walking down the big pit, taking pictures and sending them to him while walking.
In the message is: "There are a lot of people here."
"People came from the farms and ranches around Shackford."
"They're pulling that...it's supposed to be a hammer thing."
"They say no one can lift that hammer."
"...the hammer looks like it's welded to the ground."
Luke looked at the pictures and messages, and cursed "Wang Defa" extremely rarely, which attracted the attention of many people around.
Because his voice is really not small.
But he didn't care about them at the moment, so he directly sent a message to Selena, asking her to start with the hammer, take a set of pictures from near to far and send them over.
Selena was already close to the hammer, so she didn't think much about it at the moment, and just followed his instructions.
Luke looked at it for less than a minute, then turned back to the previous picture, checked the big hole, and let out a long breath: "Damn, just kidding! Isn't this the Meow Hammer?"
Saying this in his mouth, he immediately booked a ticket to travel with Robert and the others.
Air tickets are in short supply around Christmas.
Fortunately, Luke was not short of money and had a very high-end VIP card, so he directly took the best seat in the business class, and called Dustin, explaining that he would go back to his hometown to spend a few days with his family.
Dustin himself is on vacation, just let him keep the communication open, and let him go.
If there was an emergency, it would only take half a day for him to summon Luke back.
Walking back to the lounge, looking at the family chatting and resting there, Luke said with a smile: "I thought about it, I'd better go back to my hometown with you for a few days. Are you happy? Are you surprised?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Qiqi laughed, and Claire and Joseph became even more noisy around him.
After a while, Luke sent Selena a text message, telling her to take all her big family to Houston.
No matter what excuse she makes, even if it counts as the Hayek family's New Year's trip, it's okay to let everyone go out for a few days.

Selena didn't ask anything at all, she just responded and went to make arrangements.
Luke was thinking about how to get his family out of Shackford.
The surrounding area with that hammer was never safe.
Fortunately, there is Robert, who absolutely understands how dangerous certain mysterious events are.
And Catherine usually doesn't say a word, but she always knows it in her heart.
So, there's only one real question... Grandpa Drakes.
Coincidentally, the pictures and text sent back by Selena showed that the hammer was in the mountains next to the Colson-Hayek joint ranch, not far from the ranch.
How can we get this grumpy old man away from his precious ranch
His eyes quickly stayed on Claire and Joseph beside him: it seemed that he could only use these two's ultimate moves to stalk and act like a spoiled child.
After making up his mind, Luke called Robert and Catherine aside and explained the situation and danger to them in a low voice.
After the big octopus incident on the cruise ship last time, they had a high degree of trust in Luke, so they easily accepted the recurrence of the "mysterious incident" and got together to discuss it.
