Chapter 665 - Batman's Fangirls
Luke turned his head and smiled. “I look familiar, right? Hello, Miss Karen Thompson. Nice to meet you again. Also, Miss Lavin Hux. You can call me Luke.”
The two girls in the backseat looked at each other. “Hello, Luke.”
A moment later, it was Karen who spoke. “Do you… know us very well?”
It made sense with Karen. She had spoken to Luke on the first day of school, and she was confident that her looks and character would leave an impression.
But Hux was a small, timid black girl. Few men would remember her name.
Luke smiled and pointed at a staff card on the dashboard. “I’m a temporary staff member of the police academy. I see you a lot.” He usually hid in the distance to assess them, and Karen and Hux had never noticed him during their rigorous training. After chatting for a while, they reached a restaurant.
Everybody sat down and continued chatting after they ordered.
Claire had always had good interpersonal skills, at least on the surface.
From what Luke could see, she was closer to Karen and Hux, but the three of them weren’t in the same dorm. The other two girls were Claire and Karen’s roommates, who had tagged along.
And their gazes burned when they looked at Luke.
A generous, gentle and considerate brother who was willing to take his sister and her friends out for a meal was the dream of many girls.
More importantly, this brother was very handsome, and not their own brother.
After they ate and dessert was served, they started talking for real. The two random girls kept focusing on Luke, but Luke would bring the topic back to their life at the police academy.
Claire and Hux were more artless, and would pick up the topic right away.
The two random girls couldn’t say anything. Claire was the real sister of the handsome guy, and they didn’t have the right to say that she wasn’t tactful.
The sister of a handsome man was always a major obstacle in getting close with him. They were already mentally prepared for this.
But the conversation quickly turned in a direction which they couldn’t resist.
“Why do you want to be police officers?” Luke asked with a smile, but he was looking at Karen and Hux.
As members of the D15 that he paid the most attention to, he could tell that these two police officers were serious.
Karen, who was born into a rich family, seemed to already long have an answer to this question. “It’s enough to encounter interesting people and interesting things.”
Luke looked at Hux with a smile. The shy girl lowered her head and said, “I… I think being a police officer will help me open up more.”
Luke nodded. “You’re doing well. You should be able to accomplish this goal if you work hard.”
Hux lowered her head even more and whispered, “Thank you.”
Luke then said to Karen again, “But being a police officer is boring most of the time. You’ll encounter a lot of dark things. Are you sure you can take it?”.
Karen’s eyes glowed. “Isn’t there still Batman?”
Luke was stunned. “What does this have to do with Batman?”
Karen looked around furtively, like a spy in a movie. Seeing that nobody was looking, she said in a low voice, “Do you think that all Batman did that night was save a lot of people?” At that moment, even the two random girls’ attention was caught. “Didn’t he save them?”
Luke chuckled. How did you understand that? What she probably means is that he did more than save people. Karen shook her head and lowered her voice mysteriously. “No, he did save people, and it was even more than what was reported on TV. But Batman appeared again after that night. Did you know that?”
Surprised, Luke shook his head along with everyone else.
He was truly surprised that Karen knew.
A regular wealthy family shouldn’t have access to news on Batman.
Looking at their faces, Karen was very satisfied. Finally, she threw out the explosive news. “Ten days ago, Batman appeared at night and helped the police capture hundreds of extremists all at once. Impressive, right?”
The two random girls exclaimed in surprise. Claire wanted to scream too, but she covered her mouth.
Hux opened her mouth, but forgot to cry out.
Karen quickly gestured with her hands. “Don’t scream, don’t scream.”
That being said, she looked even more pleased.
She had shared these news to shock them.
Now, even the guy who had been smiling calmly was surprised. She felt that it was worth it.
Surprised, Luke asked in a low voice, “Why isn’t there any news?”
Karen shook her head. “I don’t know. It might be a secret operation. You know that we can’t give the extremists an opportunity to put up a final fight. Maybe that’s why this operation was kept so confidential that even few people in LAPD knew about it.”
Everybody was amazed and looked at the well-informed young woman in admiration.
Pleased, Karen continued, “So, I’m going to be a police officer! Maybe I’ll meet Batman someday and we’ll deal with the criminals together.” Luke nodded in agreement. Selina, who was busy eating in the corner, could only cover her face with her big ice cream cup.
She felt that she knew the kind of person Batman was, better than anyone else in the world.
Team up with Batman? Don’t be ridiculous!
Wait a minute! If Karen became a police officer, she might really be able to team up with Batman! Selina suddenly realized the error in her thinking.
Claire’s eyes glowed as she discussed Batman’s magnificent feats with Karen in a low voice.
She had also become quite obsessed with Batman recently.
However, what she was more a fan of… was the fact that Batman could fly, which was cool.
She envied the people whom Batman had flown down the most. That was definitely the most exciting form of extreme sports.
For one moment, Luke and Selina became bystanders.
The five girls of the police academy chatted about Batman.
What was even stranger was that the two random girls were also loyal Batman fangirls.
Once they started discussing Batman, none of them had the energy to hit on Luke anymore. Luke was very pleased. He hadn’t wasted his efforts in creating Batman!
He had to avoid the advances of these two girls and let them down easy at the same time; how difficult was that?
It was definitely more difficult than insisting on filming and singing with an extremely high fever and a broken leg.
In the end, Luke and Selina had no choice but to interrupt the heated discussion between the five Batman fangirls and send them back to the police academy.
