Chapter 517 - The Lofty View of a Long-Legged Woman

Chapter 517 The Lofty View of a Long-Legged Woman

Making plans in his heart, Luke returned to the beach. He hesitated a moment outside the restaurant he was familiar with. Then, he drove for another hundred meters to a different restaurant and ordered the special there.

He might have switched venues, but outside the restaurant was still his favorite beach volleyball

As a loyal fan of the game, he nodded at the bikini-clad girls who displayed marvelous skills while he ate.

An hour later, he paid the bill and left.

Having lost his car, it would be best for him to get a new one today.

What place had the best cars? Luke didn’t bother to ask a cab driver this time. He simply took a bus to his destination.

Under the night sky, next to a seaside road on a wide, open area, there were lights, drinks, music, rows of excellent cars, and a crowd of hot girls.

Most of the girls had fascinating wheat-colored or tanned skin that was as smooth as silk.

Most of them wore revealing clothes like crop tops and very short bottoms as they flaunted their young and energetic bodies. Luke smiled as he passed through the crowd, and quite a few girls made eyes at him.

The most passionate and outspoken of the lot even gave him a slip of paper. “You’re adorable. Give me a call tonight. I have quite a few friends.”

Luke thanked her with a smile. He put the paper in his pocket and continued moving.

Behind him, the hot girl returned to her friends, and all of them talked and laughed while they looked at Luke’s ass.

Sensing the hot gazes behind him, Luke was amused.

He wasn’t here for girls, but for Guadano, the shorty Vanessa had introduced him to the last time and who was one of the big bosses in the underground car market in Rio.

More importantly, the underground car market and Hernan didn’t see eye to eye. The only reason why they hadn’t fought yet was that their businesses hardly came into conflict.

When Hernan had tried to extend his reach into the underground car market, he had gotten into quite a few battles with the car smugglers, and there had been dozens of casualties on both sides.

Later, Hernan felt that the losses would outweigh the gains if this continued, so decided to call a truce.

Since then, the conflict basically came to a stop, but with the blood feud between them, none of their underlings wanted to look weak in front of the other side. Thus, the car smuggles remained hostile toward Hernan even if they no longer fought. A moment later, Luke smiled and suddenly turned around. “Surprise! We meet again.”

The person who had been about to pat him on the back was so shocked that she almost slapped him. Fortunately, she caught herself in time, before she said in a low voice, “Why are you here?”

Luke signaled to her and they walked behind a row of cars. He then said with a smile, “I want to buy another car. I can’t drive the one I bought any longer. You know why.”

Those distinctive electric eyes looked at him. “It was you in the morning, right?”

Luke smiled and didn’t say anything, and that electric gaze sparked again.

He said with a smile, “Vanessa, what’s past is past. We have to move forward.”

Vanessa raked her fingers through her hair. “What’s there to see when you move forward? Why did you turn down my offer...?”

Luke shook his head with a smile. “I’m a police officer; I won’t do anything illegal like robbery. Back in New York, I recovered the cash and turned a blind eye to you lot. That was already my bottom line.”

The most important reason is that I can’t spend the money even if I steal it. It’s easier to make money than to earn credit points! Luke grumbled inwardly.

Vanessa was silent.

She had vaguely guessed that Luke would say that. It was also the reason for her complicated feelings.

On one hand, she felt that Luke treated her a little special.

But on the other hand, she felt that Luke was a little bit bothered by what she had before.

She believed that was the reason why this strange young officer kept his distance from her.

Her biggest impression of Luke was that he was mysterious and formidable.

Unlike most men she knew, the young officer was utterly unpredictable.

He had let her go in New York, rescued her yesterday morning, and after touching her butt yesterday afternoon, beat Hernan up. She felt that these were things that shouldn’t have happened.

But they did.

Vanessa was by nature a thrill-seeker.

Otherwise, given her knowledge and smarts, as well as her driving and car modification skills, she could easily live a middle-class life in America.

If she was willing to sell herself to some rich old man, it was possible for her to become the wife of a billionaire.

But she had always rejected that type of boring life.

She loved the thrill, the feel of her blood boiling, and the sense of adventure. That was why she robbed banks.

Otherwise, she could’ve swindled a few silly magnates out of their money with her smarts and her moves. That would be so much easier to do.

But that was too boring for her. She loved playing hide-and-seek with the police. The crime itself wasn’t her goal, and was only a way for her to look for thrills.

Now, a man who gave her a sense of novelty and excitement had appeared. Except for the fact that he was a little young, she found everything else about him outstanding, including the fact that he had gotten the best of her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to pique her interest.

Thinking that, she strode forward and placed one hand on his shoulder as she looked down at him from her lofty viewpoint. “So, when you saved Dominic and others in the afternoon, it wasn’t because of me?”

Luke was helpless.

This woman’s long legs were too domineering. In her high heels, she was an astonishing 1.9 meters, which made her a heck of a lot taller than Luke.

He spread his hands. “I was saving the FBI agents. They’re my colleagues, after all... mmph.”

His mouth was blocked.

Panting after a moment, Vanessa mumbled a curse. “You... damn... rascal, can’t you say... something nice?”

Accepting her sudden passion, Luke murmured, “Then... I did it for our friendship?”

Vanessa glared at him even when her mouth was busy. “You...”

“Vanessa, you ran into an ‘old acquaintance’?”. someone asked casually.

Luke and Vanessa finally broke apart and turned around.

The moment Luke’s face was revealed, a certain Asian guy smacked the back of the person who had asked the question.

The tall black man who had just spoken yelled, “Holy sh*t! What are you doing?”

Han, however, smiled from behind him and waved. “Hello, Skywalker.”

The tall black man forgot to close his mouth when he turned around and looked at Luke next to Vanessa. “SKYWALKER?”

Luke had never mentioned his name to Dominic’s gang. Vanessa had never revealed it either.

So, they all referred to him the way he had introduced himself, as “Skywalker.”

Luke chuckled and nodded. “Hello, Han.”

Dominic stared at him for a moment, before he came over and stretched out his hand.
