Chapter 839 - New Neighbors, Sledgehammer VS Butterfly Knife
Just before they finished lunch, Luke made a call and confirmed the time and location with the movers.
After lunch, two people and one dog left the park and waited for two trucks on a nearby road.
They got into the trucks and returned to their new place. With the help of the two drivers, Luke used a flat cart to quickly move everything from the trucks into their new place.
The two drivers waited anxiously for Luke to finish, then said goodbye and left in the trucks.
Their company didn’t have a simple background, or they wouldn’t dare do a delivery here.
But if the drivers were beaten up or robbed, the company wouldn’t make a fuss about it either. They certainly didn’t want to hang around in a rotten place like Clinton.
Closing the door, Selina rolled up her sleeves and said, “Let’s get to work. We have a new place; we can’t always sleep in a hotel, right?”
Luke rolled up his sleeves and said, “Let’s get to work.”
Selina waved her hand. “Gold Nugget, go!”
Gold Nugget stared blankly. “Huh?”
They then started working their way downward from the fifth floor.
This was the floor that Selina had chosen, while Luke had chosen the fourth floor for his bedroom.
Selina and Gold Nugget were mainly responsible for cleaning.
Selina was nimble, and responsible for climbing up and down.
As a dog, Gold Nugget could hold a mop in its mouth, and it cleaned up the dust on the ground as well as dragged out the rubbish.
Selina’s constitution had been improving steadily, and her strength and endurance were close to 30 by the system’s measure.
Although she didn’t have any physical buffs, she was three times better than an ordinary person.
Gold Nugget didn’t get tired at all. As long as Dollar didn’t find it troublesome, it could run for an entire day with a mop in its mouth.
Less needed to be said about Luke. He only needed to sleep for two hours every day. Apart from that, he was a human motion machine.
The three of them started working like crazy at four in the afternoon. Apart from a simple hot meal for dinner, they worked until midnight.
There were now two temporary bedrooms and a simple kitchen on the second floor.
The problem of eating, sleeping, and washing up was solved temporarily.
After that, Selina and Gold Nugget went to wash up and rest.
Luke washed up simply and readjusted his renovation plan.
There were some minor problems with his previous plan after doing an on-site inspection, so now was a good time to make changes.
He only slept for two hours before he got up again and went downstairs to continue with the renovation works.
That was the advantage of this new place.
There were several floors between them; as long as he wasn’t smashing down walls, it wouldn’t affect Selina’s rest at all.
When Selina woke up at seven, she saw Luke making breakfast in the kitchen.
She yawned. “Where did you buy the ingredients?”
Luke chuckled. “I found a 24-hour supermarket in Times Square, but the ingredients are quite ordinary. Make do with this for now. You can buy some better ingredients from the supermarket in the morning.”
Gold Nugget nodded vigorously.
When it came to food, it hated making do the most.
But as long as Luke and Selina did so, it could only follow suit.
However, making do every now and then wasn’t a big deal.
It had seen a few large freezers offloaded from the trucks yesterday.
He had gotten Selina to ask Luke about it earlier; in the end, the fiend said that one was specifically for Gold Nugget’s use, to store all its favorite seafood and meat.
The freezer was more than two meters long and one meter wide, and would easily store half a ton of ingredients.
Given Gold Nugget’s current appetite, a full freezer would be able to last it for at least a week.
For this glutton, this was the warmest concern that the fiend had ever shown it.
Also, the other freezers would contain its favorite desserts and dairy products — this was simply heaven.
The dog head who had been reluctant to part with its L.A. home finally threw away its sadness and devoted itself to the construction of its new home.
After breakfast, Selina left with Gold Nugget and went to the moving company to pick up their Los Angeles car.
The car would soon become a backup, but currently, it was still the best means of transport for them.
After Selina left, Luke started with renovations again.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Luke stopped what he was doing. He didn’t bother putting down his tool, and simply took it with him to the door.
Putting it down next to the door, he opened the door and saw two boys standing outside.
The two of them were grinning and their postures were loose, as if they were here to visit. However, their subsequent greetings and actions didn’t seem like that of friendly neighbors.
“Dude, are you new? It seems you moved a lot of things in. Let us come in and pick out some gifts,” said the shorter one. He stretched out one hand to push at Luke’s chest and make it easier for him to enter.
Luke didn’t want to be touched.
Anyone with normal hygiene would be disgusted by their smells.
It was a mix of fast food, sh*t and s*x. They smelled like the trash of nerds holed up at home.
Fine, the trash of shut-ins probably wouldn’t have the scent of women in it.
Luke calmly slapped the short man’s hand away with his white glove and pushed him away. “Get lost. Don’t regret it for the rest of your life.”
The tall man, who was waiting at the back, was stunned for a moment, before he angrily took out a “lethal weapon” from his pocket.
He raised the weapon and said threateningly, “Do you want more holes in your body, kid?”
At that moment, the short man, who had been pushed, regained his balance.
He also took out a similar “lethal weapon” and waved it skillfully. “Kid, you better behave yourself, or don’t blame my ‘baby’ for being impolite.”
Looking at the playthings in their hands, Luke turned slightly and picked up his renovation tool. Holding it with both hands, he stood in the doorway. “Then, this big ‘baby’ of mine won’t be polite either.”
The two men’s lips turned pale when they saw the “baby” in his hands, and the “lethal weapons” in their hands shook.
That was a 14-lb octagonal hammer that was almost 90 cm long, frequently used to smash walls and concrete in renovation works; it was a truly grand “lethal weapon.”
In comparison, the lethal weapons in the hands of the two men were butterfly knives. They were 20 cm from tip to end and didn’t weigh much.
Although a knife was lethal, who would dare say that a sledgehammer that could smash through walls wouldn’t kill someone?
