Jennyâs arrival didnât affect the atmosphere at the family gathering, but even added to it.
With just a few words, she solved a bunch of small problems Lukeâs grandfather, Drax, and Selinaâs father, Mario, had in running the ranch.
As one of the top business bigshots in America, she had plenty of manpower and resources. It was a piece of cake to solve the problems of running a âsmallâ ranch.
In this regard, Luke couldnât compare with her.
He didnât rely on business to make a living, and his grandpaâs ranch wasnât making a loss. It was just small issues in moving forward.
Secondly, Robertâs misgivings were also dispelled by Jenny.
She promised that he would only need to attend certain meetings when it was absolutely necessary.
This might only happen once every few years or every decade â like last time, when Stark Industries shut down the weapons division, and Obadiah held a shareholdersâ meeting.
Some of Catherineâs worries were also dispelled by Jennyâs explanation.
At the very least, Catherine now truly believed that Luke had relied on his skills and not killing people to obtain so much wealth.
It wasnât that she didnât trust Luke, but that she wanted more proof.
Jenny was the most famous business bigshot in America at the moment, and her words were very trustworthy.
Catherine didnât think that Luke could fool a billionaire into putting on an act with him.
She wasnât interested in reading the contract.
If Luke was lying, it was for their own good, and there was no point in pursuing it.
If the shares contract was real, there was no need to pursue it.
Catherine was very wise when it came to showing proper concern for her family.
Five days later, the three of them returned to New York together.
The atmosphere on the plane was a lot better.
On the way, a certain dog head wasnât kicked in the butt at all, and was able to watch its show in peace and quiet until they arrived in New York.
Jenny gave Luke a farewell kiss, said goodbye to Selina, then got into her car and left.
Selina watched her car drive off suspiciously. âWhy do I feel like her attitude toward me has improved?â
Luke thought for a moment. âMaybe because youâre more awesome than she is.â
Selina snorted. âIs it a competition? There are plenty of people who are better than her.â
Luke shook his head. âNo, itâs that youâre more bighearted.â
Selina subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her chest thoughtfully. âHm, she really knows her place.â
Gold Nugget silently turned its head.?
Are you dumb? Do you really not know what the fiend is trying to say?!

After a rare break, Luke finally started to pour all his energy into work.
This wasnât his detective work, which wasnât hard and didnât require too much effort.
What he was focused on were the leads he got from the two new prisoners in Space 2.
Soon after throwing them into the space prison, Claudia and Hodge returned to normal.
In front of them was a completely separate prison.
They were in two separate rooms. They could eat, drink, piss and sleep every day, but there was nothing else.
Every night, Luke would let them look at each other for five minutes, but they couldnât hear each other.
They didnât know any sign language, nor did they have any tools for writing or communicating.
These five minutes was like giving someone a glass of water every day in the desert so that they wouldnât die of thirst.
In less than ten days, Hodgeâs mentality collapsed.
This time, Luke didnât specially use any super abilities. He simply used normal psychology and hypnosis which was aimed at the weaknesses in Hodgeâs mentality.
The man who loved Claudia soon fell to his knees.
However, Luke had no sympathy for them.
Did the innocent deserve it if someone could willfully slaughter them, traffic drugs and poison tens of thousands of people for love?
Hodge, whose mental defenses were weak, quickly started to disclose information.
As a reward, Luke gave them ten minutes to talk every day, but they couldnât touch each other.
However, Hodge had kept some information to himself, so Luke went back to giving them just five minutes.
A few days later, Hodge couldnât stand the loneliness, nor could he stand just five minutes where they could see each other but couldnât talk.
He stopped resisting and quickly confessed everything he knew.
Since then, Claudia and Hodge met every day for ten minutes.
Claudia still hadnât given in.
Even though she knew that Hodge had confessed everything, she didnât say anything.
However, Luke wasnât planning on getting rid of Hodge.
Hodge, who no longer had any more information to offer, could still be used as a tool to smash down Claudiaâs resistance.
In any case, time was on Lukeâs side, and he wasnât in a hurry.
Besides, Hodge had given him enough information to investigate.
What Luke was best at was following clues. Now that he was investigating the information he had obtained from Hodge, whatever Claudia knew wasnât necessarily important.
Whether she liked it or not, she was locked up here for good.
Luke didnât ask too much of a prisoner who was sentenced to life imprisonment. They could just continue to enjoy themselves like Black Sky.
According to Hodge, they werenât from some government agency. At the very least, Claudia hadnât said that she belonged to any government agency.
No one had arranged for him to follow Claudia. It was just that he was⊠persistent.
Claudia was in charge of everything related to the drug trafficking, but based on some clues, Hodge speculated that she had connections in the American government.
After taking control of the cartel, the woman sold a tremendous amount of illegal drugs to the rest of the world, especially in the United States, and basically didnât suffer any losses during this period of time.
Batmanâs appearance didnât affect her business. Instead, the goods became more expensive and she made more money.
So, Claudia had powerful means of ensuring that the illegal drugs sent to the United States didnât run into any problems on the way.
Conversely, there had been some problems with her goods In Europe.
Although the matter was resolved quickly, the process clearly wasnât as smooth as in America.
Although Hodges didnât have a concrete position, he had persevered in following Claudia, and she did have some trust in him.
In the last year in particular, he had access to certain networks.
For example, he had inadvertently memorized information about certain locations, people and distributors.
These leads were enough for Luke.
Whoever could help Claudia move twenty tons of goods into the United States in a year was definitely a major target worth investigating.
After a comprehensive analysis, the Level 2 clone arrived in Baltimore.
Looking southwest, Luke murmured thoughtfully, âWhat a nice place. Itâs so close to D.C...â
