Chapter 749 - I'll Take You With Me to Beat Up People

“It’s her!” Selina corrected him.

Luke was stunned. “Are you sure Hellhound is female?”

Selina shrugged. “Don’t forget, Dolla- er, ‘Bill’ is female.”

Luke said with a strange expression, “That works too. It’s safer that way.”

As they talked, Luke took out various equipment from his bag and quickly put them on.

With Luke’s help, Selina put on a suit that she had never worn before. She stood in front of the mirror and exclaimed, “Cool!”

The armor was pitch black and looked like a form-fitting design, but it actually wasn’t. It was just enough to change the body’s physical characteristics.

The soft-looking fabric was some sort of new material produced by Stark Industries’ research team.

It would harden when it was hit and absorb a certain amount of kinetic energy before releasing it at a fixed time.

Tony didn’t use it in his armor because it didn’t match his design.

But Luke liked it very much.

This suit of armor was similar to the original Batman suit. It only had two functions: bulletproofing and concealment.

Because it was still a shell, it didn’t have most of the functions added; for now, Luke had to rely on some gadgets to complete the armor.

This was mainly because Luke hadn’t had the time to perfect it yet.

However, considering that the two of them would only be dealing with weak chicken gangsters tonight, the armor was already excessive.

After putting on her armor, Selina looked at Luke, who was wearing a silver-gray suit that made him look like a robot.

But if one looked carefully, they would see that it was just a design, and that there was nothing mechanical about it at all.

It was just like clothes painted on human skin, but it wasn’t clothes at all.

“Wait, why don’t we have matching equipment?” Selina was dissatisfied. “You’re like a robot, but I’m like… a black cat?”

“Because my set is called Terminator, and yours is called Beast,” Luke asked. “Also, are you sure you want to be like me, with a waist one meter thick?”

Selina looked at his tall and sturdy body, and then at her obvious curves despite her disguise. She decisively gave up on pursuing the matter.

“Terminator, are we heading out?” The visor of her suit was up, and as she spoke, she was surprised to find that her voice had turned into a strange and cute electronic voice.

Luke was amused. “As you say, Commander Beast.” His was the deep voice of a man.

He had done it on purpose.

From the very beginning, he had given Selina’s armor the voice of a Minion, while his was the Terminator’s.

Selina was vexed. “What’s that sound? Why does it sound weird?”

Luke said, “I think it’s cute.”

Selina said, “Really? Well, it does seem like fun. Then, listen to me. Let’s go, Terminator!” She waved her hand.

Luke turned around and opened the door. Luke and Selina snuck up to the roof and took running leaps.

“Ah~” Stepping hard on the ground, Selina jumped, waving all her limbs in the air.

She easily flew seven to eight meters in the air. Before she reached the ground, she adjusted her posture and landed steadily. “What was that?”

Luke jumped down nimbly as well. “Please use the internal comms. Don’t make a fuss on the external mic, Commander.”

Selina: “…Fine, I forgot.”

Luke could only suppress his laughter.

He had pictured a person crying out in alarm in the voice of a Minion and flying through the air, which was exactly what Selina had done.

“Your shoes can change your height and the soles can eliminate the brunt of the force. At the same time, the new material has the ability to store up power charges. This is the default setting, and you can adjust to the other settings and familiarize yourself with them,” he explained.

Selina said, “Cool~”

She stood there for a moment before she suddenly grew suspicious. “Why does this armor support system sound like the voice I’m using?”

Luke said, “It’s the default setting. You can change it if you don’t like it.”

Selina asked, “Is that what your support system sounds like?”

Luke nodded.

Selina rolled her eyes and ordered, “Switch to Terminator mode.”

“Yes, Commander,” said the support system, which sounded exactly like the voice of Luke’s armor.

Luke smiled indifferently.

“Okay, let’s go.” Selina gave the order again… and then hopped in the direction of her destination.

Luke said, “Commander, hopping isn’t an essential action of your armor. You don’t actually have to learn to hop like a rabbit.”

“Idiot! I’m just familiarizing myself with the functions, got it?” Selina pouted. “No, I’m the commander tonight!”

Luke smiled. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

They were heading out with new prototype armor tonight, so it didn’t hurt for her to have some fun.

The reason why he had brought Selina out to “play” was simple.

The Ghost Butcher had to disappear for a period of time. Batman had been too active recently, and last night had been a big one.

Flegg and Phil had both started to contact Batman, and Luke had achieved his goal of using the Batman persona to distract the public.

But he couldn’t stop harvesting experience and credit points.

When Bloodmint left Los Angeles, Luke had promised to clean up the gangsters in the slums in the east.

In the end, the earthquake happened so suddenly, and news of the law and order which he had wanted Bloodmint to see turned into news of Batman, which wasn’t in keeping with his promise.

Taking Selina with him was the simplest solution.

A pair of male and female thieves? This should make a good headline!

Looking at Selina who was jumping over the roofs, and hearing her yell in his earpiece, Luke smiled.

Ten minutes later, in an abandoned factory in downtown Los Angeles.

“Are you sure it’s all done?” Luke threw the unconscious thug aside and looked at Selina.

Selina frowned. “It’s not?”

Luke smiled but didn’t say anything.

Selina looked around, but still shook her head. “I really can’t think of anything.”

They were out to have fun tonight, but they couldn’t waste too much time on small details. Luke pointed at the money on the table. “You have to take this, right?”

Selina exclaimed in surprise. “You want it?”

Holding back his laughter, Luke said, “If we don’t take it, won’t it be obvious that we’re not here for the money or the goods? If we take it, the first suspects will be their archenemies. That way, they’ll be more targets, and it’ll be easier for us to hide our identities.”

Selina coughed. “Okay, Terminator. Clean up all the money and take it away.”

Luke: “Yes, Commander!”

He searched the room for money and flushed the illegal drugs down the toilet. He added casually, “If you want to disguise yourself even more intricately, you can choose to overlook some small change or a roll of cash, or scatter some dollar bills. That way, the finger can be pointed at specific suspects like robbers or regular gang members, and cause some unrest underground. You probably know this.”
