Chapter 750 - Satisfaction, Going Back and Official Meeting

Selina was lost for words for a moment before she said, “Lu- er, Terminator, I get it. I’m just… Well, it’s my first time on a mission with you. I’m just not used to it.”

Luke chuckled. “Then get used to it.”

He knew that Selina and a certain dog head were L.A.’s Knee Breaker team that cleaned up hooligans until they didn’t even have any underwear left. How could they let go of the money?

It was their first time going out to play robbers, and Selina subconsciously restrained her mischievous side in front of Luke.

As long as her real identity wasn’t revealed, he didn’t care if Selina took the money or not.

He didn’t know how much money he had cleaned up himself.

Apart from the two hundred million dollars from Hernan, the bigshot in Rio, the rest of the cash that he had looted from the drug dealers totaled at least fifty million.

He hadn’t bothered counting the money. Most of it was in his inventory.

Selina’s loot wasn’t even a fraction of his.

A moment later, they left the warehouse in an old Ford.

A black lump whined in the backseat.

Selina could only comfort it. “Gold… er, Hellhound, don’t worry. Terminator said you’ll get a share of the loot, okay?”

Luke threw the bag of cash that he had just gotten into the backseat, putting his words into action. The black lump immediately quieted down.

Selina then asked Luke, “Is the thing on it uncomfortable?”

Luke said, “It’s definitely more uncomfortable than not wearing it, but it’s much more comfortable than wearing this sort of armor. After all, its armor doesn’t need to be bulletproof; its main functions are camouflage and stealth.”

In the backseat, Hellhound barked in agreement.

Selina looked at it. “How does it feel to have cash?”

“Woof.”

She turned around. “Fine, it’s just a little uncomfortable and not unbearably so.”

Luke just smiled and listened to her talk to the dog head as they drove to their next destination.

His next objective was just to act as an enforcer and remind them of the necessary safety rules.

Selina was in charge of planning and executing the mission.

This was largely to prevent them from using similar techniques.

At the same time, it was also Luke’s training for Selina.

With what had happened recently and their trip to New York approaching, he had to make sure she could protect herself.

This armor was one way to do it.

Tony making the Iron Man armor was an unexpected surprise, which gave Luke more skills for making new armor.

Although Selina had Gold Nugget to protect her, Gold Nugget also had its weakness.

He didn’t want Selina to rely on Gold Nugget’s super regenerative ability to run around recklessly, or she might suffer a huge setback.

The best way to protect Selina, who was in a symbiotic relationship with Gold Nugget, was with the armor.

It was just like how he had Elementary Self-Healing but still protected himself with armor and bulletproof vests.

Even though Luke had tested his Elementary Self-Healing many times and proven how extraordinary it was, he wouldn’t treat it as a regular strategy in battle.

Naturally, it was best to hide this ability as much as possible.

That was why he didn’t say anything even though Selina had never shown him her complete symbiotic form with Gold Nugget.

It wasn’t a matter of trust between the two of them.

Based on his understanding of Selina, it was very likely that there was something wrong with the symbiotic form, such as… it was ugly?

Just like that, they swept through seven or eight gangs.

Although his contribution rate was only about 50%, he still earned almost 2,000 experience and credit points.

The host’s experience has reached 62,620/90,000.

Credit: 51,120.

At one o’clock in the morning, the two of them sat side by side on the rooftop of an apartment building in their battle armor, the street below them.

They took off their masks and stared at L.A.’s city center with lollipops in their mouths.

Selina said reluctantly, “We’re going back?”

Luke said with a smile, “We’ll come out again in two days. We beat up more than a hundred hoodlums today. We need to let the doctors and nurses take a breather.”

Selina couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s true.”

After a brief hesitation, she asked, “Can’t I keep this armor?”

Luke hugged her and said, “It’s just a frame with basic functions. I still need to perfect it. Don’t you want to wear it when you head out?”

Selina knew that he was telling the truth, but she was still reluctant. “This is my first armor.”

Luke shook her. “It’ll be even better in a few days, and it’ll be modified according to the style you like. You know my aesthetic standards are always a little off.”

Selina hummed and didn’t say anything else.

…

The next morning, they had breakfast, trained, and went out as usual.

Luke noticed that Selina often had a smile on her face.

In the past, she had been very cheerful, but after all the things that happened recently, she had been smiling less.

Today, she had finally recovered a little.

Luke didn’t know if it was because of the conversation at dinner or because they had gone out to play last night.

But he had plenty of time to verify it.

They went to the private hospital again. Today, they finally met the “luckiest of the unlucky,” Lawyer Jennifer.

When Luke spoke to her last time, she had been muddle-headed and on the verge of death, and hadn’t registered Luke at all.

Elizabeth was guarding the ward.

No matter how much Dustin missed Jennifer, he had to deal with a lot of work.

When Luke and Selina entered, Jennifer’s gaze immediately fell on Luke.

A moment later, she smiled. “You must be Luke.”

Luke smiled and stretched out his right hand. “Hello, Jennifer. I can finally introduce myself. Luke Coulson, a minor detective from the Major Crimes Division.”

Jennifer was still smiling. They shook hands.

Luke was about to let go, but Jennifer grabbed his hand. “Luke, thank you.”

He nodded. “I understand, you’re welcome.”

Jennifer smiled. “You’re just as Dustin described.”

Luke shrugged. “Whatever he says. He’s the boss.”

She finally let go.

Selina stepped forward and greeted Jennifer.

At that moment, Jennifer looked at Elizabeth and hesitated.

Luke could guess what she wanted to talk about, so he simply gestured at Elizabeth.

She got up with a smile. “It just so happens that I want to buy breakfast. Can you take care of her for ten minutes?”

Jennifer nodded. “Thank you, Elizabeth.”

Ten minutes later, Elizabeth, who had done one round outside, saw Selina wave at her.

After she entered, Luke got up and said goodbye. “You can rest well and relax. Leave this to us.”

Jennifer nodded tiredly. “Okay, thank you.”

Luke smiled. “Just doing our job.”
