Chapter 750: Satisfaction, Going Back and Official Meeting
Selina was lost for words for a moment before she said, âLu- er, Terminator, I get it. Iâm just... Well, itâs my first time on a mission with you. Iâm just not used to it.â
Luke chuckled. âThen get used to it.â
He knew that Selina and a certain dog head were L.A.âs Knee Breaker team that cleaned up hooligans until they didnât even have any underwear left. How could they let go of the money?
It was their first time going out to play robbers, and Selina subconsciously restrained her mischievous side in front of Luke.
As long as her real identity wasnât revealed, he didnât care if Selina took the money or not.
He didnât know how much money he had cleaned up himself.
Apart from the two hundred million dollars from Hernan, the bigshot in Rio, the rest of the cash that he had looted from the drug dealers totaled at least fifty million.
He hadnât bothered counting the money. Most of it was in his inventory.
Selinaâs loot wasnât even a fraction of his.
A moment later, they left the warehouse in an old Ford.
A black lump whined in the backseat.
Selina could only comfort it. âGold... er, Hellhound, donât worry. Terminator said youâll get a share of the loot, okay?â
Luke threw the bag of cash that he had just gotten into the backseat, putting his words into action. The black lump immediately quieted down.
Selina then asked Luke, âIs the thing on it uncomfortable?â
Luke said, âItâs definitely more uncomfortable than not wearing it, but itâs much more comfortable than wearing this sort of armor. After all, its armor doesnât need to be bulletproof; its main functions are camouflage and stealth.â
In the backseat, Hellhound barked in agreement.
Selina looked at it. âHow does it feel to have cash?â
âWoof.â
She turned around. âFine, itâs just a little uncomfortable and not unbearably so.â
Luke just smiled and listened to her talk to the dog head as they drove to their next destination.
His next objective was just to act as an enforcer and remind them of the necessary safety rules.
Selina was in charge of planning and executing the mission.
This was largely to prevent them from using similar techniques.
At the same time, it was also Lukeâs training for Selina.
With what had happened recently and their trip to New York approaching, he had to make sure she could protect herself.
This armor was one way to do it.
Tony making the Iron Man armor was an unexpected surprise, which gave Luke more skills for making new armor.
Although Selina had Gold Nugget to protect her, Gold Nugget also had its weakness.
He didnât want Selina to rely on Gold Nuggetâs super regenerative ability to run around recklessly, or she might suffer a huge setback.
The best way to protect Selina, who was in a symbiotic relationship with Gold Nugget, was with the armor.
It was just like how he had Elementary Self-Healing but still protected himself with armor and bulletproof vests.
Even though Luke had tested his Elementary Self-Healing many times and proven how extraordinary it was, he wouldnât treat it as a regular strategy in battle.
Naturally, it was best to hide this ability as much as possible.
That was why he didnât say anything even though Selina had never shown him her complete symbiotic form with Gold Nugget.
It wasnât a matter of trust between the two of them.
Based on his understanding of Selina, it was very likely that there was something wrong with the symbiotic form, such as... it was ugly?
Just like that, they swept through seven or eight gangs.
Although his contribution rate was only about 50%, he still earned almost 2,000 experience and credit points.
The hostâs experience has reached 62,620/90,000.
Credit: 51,120.
At one oâclock in the morning, the two of them sat side by side on the rooftop of an apartment building in their battle armor, the street below them.
They took off their masks and stared at L.A.âs city center with lollipops in their mouths.
Selina said reluctantly, âWeâre going back?â
Luke said with a smile, âWeâll come out again in two days. We beat up more than a hundred hoodlums today. We need to let the doctors and nurses take a breather.â
Selina couldnât help but laugh. âThatâs true.â
After a brief hesitation, she asked, âCanât I keep this armor?â
Luke hugged her and said, âItâs just a frame with basic functions. I still need to perfect it. Donât you want to wear it when you head out?â
Selina knew that he was telling the truth, but she was still reluctant. âThis is my first armor.â
Luke shook her. âItâll be even better in a few days, and itâll be modified according to the style you like. You know my aesthetic standards are always a little off.â
Selina hummed and didnât say anything else.
...
The next morning, they had breakfast, trained, and went out as usual.
Luke noticed that Selina often had a smile on her face.
In the past, she had been very cheerful, but after all the things that happened recently, she had been smiling less.
Today, she had finally recovered a little.
Luke didnât know if it was because of the conversation at dinner or because they had gone out to play last night.
But he had plenty of time to verify it.
They went to the private hospital again. Today, they finally met the âluckiest of the unlucky,â Lawyer Jennifer.
When Luke spoke to her last time, she had been muddle-headed and on the verge of death, and hadnât registered Luke at all.
Elizabeth was guarding the ward.
No matter how much Dustin missed Jennifer, he had to deal with a lot of work.
When Luke and Selina entered, Jenniferâs gaze immediately fell on Luke.
A moment later, she smiled. âYou must be Luke.â
Luke smiled and stretched out his right hand. âHello, Jennifer. I can finally introduce myself. Luke Coulson, a minor detective from the Major Crimes Division.â
Jennifer was still smiling. They shook hands.
Luke was about to let go, but Jennifer grabbed his hand. âLuke, thank you.â
He nodded. âI understand, youâre welcome.â
Jennifer smiled. âYouâre just as Dustin described.â
Luke shrugged. âWhatever he says. Heâs the boss.â
She finally let go.
Selina stepped forward and greeted Jennifer.
At that moment, Jennifer looked at Elizabeth and hesitated.
Luke could guess what she wanted to talk about, so he simply gestured at Elizabeth.
She got up with a smile. âIt just so happens that I want to buy breakfast. Can you take care of her for ten minutes?â
Jennifer nodded. âThank you, Elizabeth.â
Ten minutes later, Elizabeth, who had done one round outside, saw Selina wave at her.
After she entered, Luke got up and said goodbye. âYou can rest well and relax. Leave this to us.â
Jennifer nodded tiredly. âOkay, thank you.â
Luke smiled. âJust doing our job.â
