Chapter 415 - Honey, Aren't You Too Awesome?
Jeff was slightly embarrassed to hear that. A moment later, he finally asked in a low voice, “Is the snake wine really helpful in that aspect?”
Luke pondered for a moment, then shook his head. “It may have some effect, but no one knows for sure if it’s just a placebo. However, there’s no doubt that exercise can help you last longer.”
The overall decline of bodily functions would definitely affect the duration.
Those who were innately endowed might go from one hour to half an hour, and those who were less gifted might last five minutes instead of ten.
Looking at the two men who were shoulder to shoulder in front of him, Tim was lost for words. What the hell, why did you stick your nose in? I should be the one getting along with Jeff!
In the evening, the three men finally returned to their neighborhood, talking and laughing.
Tim and Jeff waved goodbye to Luke, who lived further away.
Then, Tim and Jeff said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective homes.
Tim sighed in relief.
Luke had no longer stolen Tim’s thunder when they hung out in a pub in the afternoon.
Tim had pretty much achieved most of his objective for the day, which was to get closer to Jeff.
Luke was in a good mood as he walked with a spring in his step down the street. Hanging out purely for fun with guy friends was a pretty novel experience for him.
Jeff was a nice guy and a good talker.
Tim, on the other hand, was the flavor that no gathering of friends could do without; when he related his stories, he was like a talk show host.
Thinking this, Luke sighed; he knew that Tim had another objective.
Tim might not mean Jeff any harm, but he wasn’t really going to settle down here.
Otherwise, it would’ve been fun to have such a talk show performer in his life for free.
Jeff, who led a dull life, glowed when he listened to Tim’s stories.
He and his wife were both dutiful ordinary people who got a job, fell in love, got married, and had children in a predictable manner.
Their daughters who were still in middle school gave them no time or energy to enjoy life.
That was why he was especially envious of Tim’s unrestrained, carefree travel life.
Luke wasn’t really jealous of the guy.
Luke had been to a lot of places after just one year in his job, and he would visit even more in the future. He didn’t have to envy Tim.
He found Selina watching TV when he returned home, and asked with a smile, “Did you have a good time?”
She had kept the voice channel on. Though Luke hadn’t caught all of it, it sounded like the three women had had as much fun as the guys in the afternoon.
Sonia sighed in satisfaction. “It’s nice to play for a day once in a while. Elsa, Elizabeth and Sonia are too busy. It’s not easy to go shopping for makeup and clothes with them.”
Luke nodded in agreement. He took a Dr. Pepper out of the fridge and said, “That Natalie is very good, isn’t she?”
Selina shrugged. “She lives up to her appearance. She knows a lot about makeup and matching clothes; she’s absolutely a professional.”
Luke said, “Mr. Tim has abundant career experiences too. The trips he talks about might not be fake, but it’s hard to say if he went to those places for travel, or for more covert business.”
Selina sighed. “They would’ve made great neighbors. At least they’re interesting and more likable than other people in this neighborhood. Hm, wait. There’s a surveillance alert.”
She opened the tablet, only to see Jeff and Karen running around inside as their voices came through. “Wow, honey, you’re so good. Yes, right there.” “Baby, we’re just getting started, okay?”
Selina was lost for words.
Luke didn’t think too much of it. “Jeff had some Chinese snake wine in the afternoon. It supposedly has an extraordinary effect, if you know what I mean.”
Selina asked, “Are you sure?” She turned the tablet around.
Luke looked at the picture and made a sound of surprise. “What are they doing?”
In contrast to their fiery words, the couple was behaving strangely on the feed.
While they cried out in passion, they were both moving around in the room and making a lot of noise.
“Did they discover our surveillance equipment?” Selina grew suspicious.
Karen might have found something thanks to her paranoia.
Frowning for a moment, Luke shook his head. “That’s impossible. My surveillance equipment is dozens of meters away from the house.”
After making a commotion for a while, the couple gestured to each other on the screen, before they went upstairs.
Luke and Selina wondered what they were up to now.
Luke had only set up regular cameras, and wasn’t crazy enough to monitor their bedroom. Logically speaking, they were only a regular couple, and didn’t need such exaggerated surveillance.
But Luke was now regretting his decision.
He could’ve planted a few bugs and removed them after Tim and his wife moved away.
Seeing no light from the bedroom on the screen, Luke sighed. “Let’s just wait. Karen’s paranoia may be acting up again.”
Then, Luke and Selina went to train.
As Selina unleashed a storm of attacks on the focus mitts Luke was wearing, the tablet suddenly beeped.
Luke turned his head and saw two furtive people on the screen.
When he was distracted, Selina attacked the focus mitts fiercely, but unfortunately still couldn’t break through Luke’s defense.
Panting, she stopped. “Damn it. Why can you still block my attacks even without looking?”
Luke smiled but didn’t say anything.
He couldn’t have done it without the Mullah brothers’ Quick Reflex.
While not overly powerful, Quick Reflex allowed him to vaguely sense danger, and coupled with his strength, it was very easy for him to ward off her attacks.
What a convenient and practical ability.
After that, Selina also turned to the tablet. She asked curiously, “What are Jeff and Karen doing? A night run? This isn’t something they do, right? Weren’t they all horny a moment ago?”
Luke worked the tablet and moved two cameras so that they were trained on the house Tim had just bought. Jeff and Karen had already snuck over.
Running at night wasn’t uncommon in this neighborhood, which was safe and not very dangerous.
But Jeff and Karen’s furtive and weird behavior was so bizarre that they would ping anyone’s radar.
A moment later, Tim’s garage door slowly rolled up, and Jeff and Karen crept in.
