Chapter 421 - A Feast, and I Have Money, I Do What I Want
Chapter 421 A Feast, and I Have Money, I Do What I Want
In any case, Jeff’s hard work in the past finally paid off.
He successfully obtained the time and place for the deal after talking to Tyrannosaur over the phone — tomorrow, 9pm, at Odyssey Hotel’s V Restaurant.
But Tyrannosaur demanded that both Danny and his wife show up — clearly, Meg was also an informant in this matter.
The problem was that Danny and his wife had now been caught. So, who should go tomorrow?
Seeing everyone look at him, Danny quickly shook his head. “Don’t — don’t look at me. I’ve never met them, and I’ve only ever used a code name with them. They don’t know who I am.”
Natalie wasn’t convinced. “That’s not possible. When you contacted them on your computer from your company, they could’ve checked your IP address.”
Danny couldn’t help but lower his head and said in embarrassment, “That’s why I’ve been contacting Tyrannosaur on Jeff’s office computer.”
Jeff shouted, “What?”
He grabbed a saw from the table and cursed, “I’m going to cut your balls off! Damn it.”
Tim hurriedly stopped him once more.
Luke and Selina looked at Jeff sympathetically.
This good guy had truly been tragically set up.
If someone sold company secrets on his computer, he would definitely be held partly responsible, and lose his job.
Natalie nodded too. “He’s not lying. We did find the leads on Jeff’s computer.”
She had just been testing Danny and his wife with her previous question, to see if they had really never met Tyrannosaur in real life.
Without saying a word, everybody turned their eyes to Jeff and his wife.
Karen was suspicious. “What are you thinking?”
Natalie stepped forward, cupped Karen’s face and studied it carefully. “Mm, this is the typical middle-class housewife.” Tim tossed the saw which Jeff had been holding back onto the table and restrained the guy, who still wanted to cut Danny’s balls off. “And this man here fits the description too, once he calms down.”
Luke sighed and said, “This isn’t very nice, is it? I don’t care about your mission, but Jeff and Karen don’t have any professional training, and they won’t get a cent out of
it…”
Tim spread his hands helplessly. “They’re already involved. If we don’t catch Tyrannosaur, the man will come after them sooner or later, which will be even more dangerous.”
Luke frowned.
He actually had another solution, but he had secrets of his own.
Looking at Jeff and Karen, he suddenly sighed. “Fine, the two of you can decide.”
Jeff and Karen looked nervous at the danger, but Luke could see anticipation in their eyes.
They lived ordinary lives, but had always hoped for something extraordinary.
Whether it was paranoid Karen or good guy Jeff, a passionate side burned in their hearts.
Karen said, “I’m in.”
Jeff didn’t say anything, but tacitly agreed with his wife’s decision.
“About the operation tomorrow night…” Luke looked at Tim.
Tim shook his head and said, “We’re professionals, and we have backup. You don’t need to come.”
Luke raised an eyebrow. “Okay, then it’s all yours. Don’t forget to clean this place up, including them…” He looked at Danny and Meg.
Both of them turned pale at Luke’s words.
Danny cried, “Please don’t! We’re neighbors, Luke!”
Meg wept too. “Selina, don’t kill us. Have you forgotten that I’m the one who invites you to community activities?”
Selina smiled brilliantly. “Of course I haven’t. So, make it quick, Natalie.”
Natalie nodded. “I guarantee we’ll wrap it up cleanly.”
After that, Luke and Selina left.
This basement was only a cover, and didn’t contain anything sensitive; the truly secret things were in his inventory.
It was why Luke dared invite them to his place.
Of course, Danny and Meg wouldn’t die. “Cleaning and wrapping things up” were just to scare this obnoxious couple.
They weren’t good people and had made a huge blunder; good guy Jeff had almost been shot because of them. Did they really deserve any comfort?
Back in the living room, Selina couldn’t help but ask, “Are we really going to just leave it?”
Luke didn’t even turn his head and simply tossed her the tablet. “Make a reservation for us. Let’s have a feast tomorrow night, at Odyssey Hotel’s V Restaurant.”
Selina laughed. “I knew you wouldn’t be so obedient.”
Luke shrugged. “It’s not like we’re taking part in Tim’s operation. Who can stop us from eating at that restaurant? I have money; I can do whatever I want.”
He checked the system notifications as he spoke.
System: You have killed the criminals and rescued Jeff, Karen and Carl.
Total experience: 500. Total credit: 500.
Contribution rate: 90%. EXP +450. Credit +450.
This was his real harvest, which was more than what he could earn from a regular case, and chances were that he could still earn more the next day.
Naturally, he wouldn’t refuse more experience and credit points.
The next day, Luke and Selina went to work as usual, and came home as usual.
Selina watched on the tablet as Jeff and Karen, who were dressed formally, left the house, and she asked, “Luke, are we dressed too casually?”
Luke examined Selina, who was wearing cropped jeans and a loose white shirt.
Luke was also wearing jeans, along with a casual plaid shirt.
He said helplessly, “We need to carry guns and equipment. I don’t think you can dress like Karen…”
On screen, Karen was wearing a champagne-colored dress.
She was only 1.6 meters tall, but the dress accentuated her magnificent breasts. Her butt and her legs were extraordinary too. The dress looked like it would explode at any moment.
This ordinary housewife had undergone a transformation into a super lush beauty.
Her great figure was normally hidden under her loose home clothes, and it was such a huge contrast; no wonder Selina was worried about her own outfit.
Selina nodded regretfully. “Fine. We’re only going there for dinner, anyway.”
Luke walked out with her and said, “After we’re done today, you can wear whatever you want when we go out to eat tomorrow. How about Hungry Cat? From what you said, it sounds pretty good.”
Selina gave a satisfied smile. “Okay. You can learn how to make their Maine lobster roll. It’s really delicious.”
Luke nodded with a smile. “Let’s go. Hopefully everything goes smoothly tonight.”
They drove out.
They needed to get to V Restaurant early if they wanted to have a feast first.
In the car, Selina asked, “Why did you agree to let Jeff and Karen get involved in this? Even with us following them, it’s very dangerous.”
Jeff and his wife were just ordinary and inexperienced people who would be easily exposed, and when that happened, they also didn’t have the strength to protect themselves; this operation really was a little risky.
