At ten in the evening, Luke and Selina put on special stealth suits and left home through an underground tunnel.
They first went to Matt's house.
Selina didn't go in. Luke went in through the window and sighed when he saw Matt huddled in the corner with a dejected look on his face. "Did someone beat you up again?"
Matt moved his body and relaxed. "Puncher? (Boxer) "
Luke nodded. "What's going on?"
Clinton had been relatively peaceful recently. Apart from Frank Castle's massacre of the Irish gang last night and the chase to the hospital, there was no movement from the Hand or Kingpin.
It could be said that Luke had beaten Lawyer Matt's old opponent away for the time being. Why did he feel like he had been bullied?
Matt shook his head and struggled to his feet. Luke realized that the guy was stumbling as he walked, as if he had lost his balance.
He picked Matt up and put him on the sofa. Looking at the test information on his glasses, he asked, "Concussion?"
Matt said, "Sort of. I went out last night, ran into someone, and was shot. "
Luke frowned. "Who did it?"
Matt said, "The man who killed the Irish gang. I followed him near Metropolitan Hospital last night, and we fought. In the end, he shot me in the head."
Luke had a strange expression on his face. The answer was unexpected. "Then why aren't you dead?"
Matt smiled bitterly. "I don't think he wanted to kill me. He just wanted me to stop pestering him."
"He shot you in the head just to stop you from following him?" Luke was a little speechless. Robert's old comrade really didn't have a good temper. Wasn't he worried that he would blow up Lawyer Matt's head?
Matt said, "He knew that my helmet was bulletproof. Otherwise, he could have killed me with a random shot after he knocked me down. But he didn't. He just left. "
Luke was speechless for a moment before he asked, "Then why are you looking for him?"
Matt said, "If he messes around like this, he'll ruin the security here, which has just started to improve. People in other places will also think that Hell's Kitchen is still a chaotic and violent place. I can't let him do whatever he wants. Also, his methods are too violent. I don't think this kind of massacre is the right thing to do. Those drug dealers should have a chance to change. "
Hearing that, Luke understood that this was a clash of ideologies.
In this he was really on the same side as Frank Custer.
But it was a good thing that Matt didn't know what Luke had done under his other aliases, or he would have tried his best to change Luke's mind.
Luke wasn't interested in convincing Matt.
Something like life philosophy was worthless. Many people would do bad things that crossed the bottom line for money.
Saying that it was worthless, but it could make two people who had no conflict of interest become mortal enemies, even if they were not bad people.
That was why Luke had created so many unrelated aliases.
It would be easier for Batman to gain Matt's approval, while it would be easier for V to gain the friendship of Damon and his daughter.
These superheroes who were far more powerful than ordinary people all had their own pride and worldview. It was difficult for them to force themselves to accept the opposite ideology.
Luke had always been a pragmatist.
He didn't care about the ideals of these people. His worldview was more inclined towards normal people. If the big bad guy died, he deserved it. If the little bad guy died, it was their bad luck. Ordinary people and good people could help.
That was all.
He obeyed a lot of rules, but he wasn't bound by them.
That was because he had a supervisor that was far more direct than ordinary laws — the system.
Many heroes didn't dare kill people casually because they were afraid that they would lose control.
Luke wouldn't.
Recently, he had even speculated that the system's judgment of the host's actions might be based on the host's own thoughts.
It was like a police officer who attacked Luke in the line of duty and was killed by Luke's counterattack.
If Luke had deliberately created this situation, points would definitely be deducted.
Although he had never been deducted points before, the system had given him a faint warning when he had thought of this possibility a long time ago.
If a stray bullet happened to hit an officer during a fight, the system wouldn't deduct points.
That was because he had no intention of harming the police officer.
In short, the system's criteria for deducting points had nothing to do with the law, but Luke's heart.
The system itself was just a program that only cared about logic and rules.
In America, as long as you had money, you could play with the law and escape punishment.
It was really too difficult to play with a system that was connected to his soul.
Luke was even less interested in such troublesome matters. After all, he had never thought of killing innocent people.
Thus, he didn't feel any weakness in front of Matt. He just treated him as a good person.
Pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "This matter is more complicated than you think. Rest well."
Matt didn't say anything.
Sensing his emotions, Luke simply didn't say anything else.
He was a stubborn person, although there weren't many things that could make him show it.
But when he was stubborn, nothing anyone else said would change anything.
Matt wasn't any less stubborn than him when it came to certain things. There was no point in saying anything more.
Luke soon left Matt's house.
He had just dropped by to make sure that Matt wouldn't die from his injuries.
Matt only had a concussion. With his recovery ability, he would fully recover in three to five days. There was nothing to worry about.
After leaving Matt's house, Luke's figure turned into a transparent, twisted shadow.
Leaping over a few buildings, he met up with Selina, and the two of them moved through the Clinton area at night.
…
The search for Frank Castle didn't go smoothly.
Luke and Selina searched around the gangs for two nights in a row, but didn't find any trace of Frank.
On the third night, Luke went out on his own and didn't drag Selina with him.
Selina wasn't like him, and couldn't only sleep two hours a day. She still needed to train to strengthen herself, and it would be best if she only went out once every two or three days.
When he went out on his own, Luke didn't wear his armor. He simply disguised himself and drove around slowly in his rental car.
He didn't need to be too fast to search for Frank.
If he slowed down, he might be able to find more clues with his Sharp Nose and Elementary Sound Wave ability.
The scope of the search also shifted from the Clinton area to the uptown area in the north. From south to north, it extended to Harlem, East Harlem, Manhattan Mall, and Washington Heights before circling back and forth.
Theft and robbery were very common in New York at night.
Robbing passers-by and 24-hour supermarkets was also a daily routine for many hooligans.
When he encountered some petty theft or robbery at night, he would throw one or a few steel balls at them.
When he didn't kill anyone, these things were more useful than guns and knives. He could even use some refraction techniques to knock out hooligans before they could see them.
