Selina was lost for words. "… Can you be any more shameless? You look like you're annoyed. "
Luke shrugged. "That's because I'm home."
Lost for words, Selina could only go wash up.
At breakfast, Luke told her what had happened.
Selina's first words were, "You're not going to help John" comfort "Jaina, are you?"
Luke looked at her in surprise. "How is that possible? She's the eldest daughter of the Camorra family, and is about to become the head of the Camorra family. If it weren't for the fact that she can help me understand the twelve masterminds at the high table, I would've killed her first. "
Selina knew him too well. She could tell from his expression that he was serious. She couldn't help but scratch her head. "Seriously? She's so infatuated. I thought you would sympathize with her or something."
Luke took a sip of his latte. "Love. So many crimes have been committed in your name."
Selina was no longer the same as before. In her spare time, she would read some literary classics to refresh her mind.
Hearing that, she frowned. "Are you saying that she doesn't actually love John that much, or that it's not love at all?"
Luke shook his head. "Whether she loves John or not has nothing to do with how many bad things she's done. Besides, she didn't do those bad things for John, and I'm not John either. "
Pausing for a moment, he said, "I kept her around out of consideration for my own interests. In the short term, it won't make much of a difference if one of the twelve masterminds at the high table is gone, but I can get a lot of information from her. I don't believe that the twelve masterminds are close. The Camorra probably has enemies at the high table, and there definitely won't be just one of them. That's more valuable than killing Jaina. "
Selina was confused. "But you just said that she's a bad person."
Luke shrugged. "I know. But strictly speaking, more than half of the tycoons in this country are bad people. How many families have been ruined by the financiers on Wall Street? If I hated evil, wouldn't I have killed those guys first? Their names are all in the financial news. There's no need to investigate them. "
Selina subconsciously nodded.
Wall Street financiers were all vampires. This was the basic understanding of the people at the bottom of society in the United States. It was like cursing the president was a daily habit of theirs.
Luke said, "Look, if I abhor evil, there are countless bad guys in this country, and I can't kill them all in my lifetime, I can only make a choice based on my own judgment. On the high platform table, the Camorra might become my best 'spy'. Naturally, I won't be the first to deal with it. "
Selina pondered for a moment, but was still a little doubtful. "But isn't the Camorra very dangerous?"
Luke was amused. "I'm not a machine, nor am I a god. Of course I have my own thoughts. I can only say that if Jaina does something that I cannot tolerate, then even if she is my 'mole', I will kill her. Do you understand? "
Selina rolled her eyes and suddenly asked, "Then, if I do something that you can't tolerate one day, will you kill me too?"
Luke looked at the woman as if she were an idiot. "First of all, you don't have such thoughts. Second, you don't have what it takes. Third, if you really do it, I will 'teach' you the twelve-word mantra until you submit. "
Looking at his strange expression, Selina shuddered.
She was very familiar with this look. It meant that he was thinking of something extremely nasty.
For example, it was similar to the look on his face when she tortured Kilgrave with a basketball.
She decisively gave up on this unpleasant topic and quickly finished breakfast before she went to train.
Luke, however, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
This silly girl followed him every day, and he was still assuming that she would do something bad.
Didn't he learn Mental Communication for nothing?!
His Mental Communication with Selina wasn't mental control.
Instead, it was the subtle influence that the two of them had on each other, and Selina had an ingrained impression of his bottom line.
Unless it was some kind of mental control or a mysterious power, she wouldn't lose control at all.
But Gold Nugget wasn't a freeloader. Whether it was direct mental control or physical control like Kilgrave's, it was unlikely that it could control Selina.
You still want to do bad things? Hehe, I'll just be an honest hero for the rest of my life. At most, I'll confiscate some dirty money to fill my personal coffers.
As for Selina's problems, he had long since come to a conclusion.
In his previous life, he had lived in his early thirties, and had been an internet troll for many years in the era of the information explosion. His worldview had long been solidified through countless bickering.
Luke only had one basic requirement for himself: Don't be a bad person.
From this point, he naturally wouldn't force himself to be a good person or an emissary of justice.
As the saying went, how could everything go as one wished? One only had to have a clear conscience.
He tried his best to do what he could. He didn't dwell on what he couldn't do due to the limitations of reality.
It was also for this reason that even though he had killed a lot of bad people and done a lot of good deeds, he wasn't proud of it.
He never felt that he was some high and mighty savior who had to give love to the world and uphold justice.
He was just being himself, a kind and normal person.
…
In the morning, Luke and Selina went to work as usual. They left a bunch of "I'm still here" impressions among their colleagues, and threw a bunch of cupcakes that they hadn't made in days at Connie's place.
He also took over a large theft case from Dustin.
After leaving Dustin's office, Luke chatted with Joe for a while. The topic was something along the lines of "Is Detective John still living like a piece of sh * t?"
Joe's answer was as expected. "Yes, he's a piece of sh * t right now."
Luke and Selina could only shrug to show that there was nothing they could do.
They had lunch early at noon, and then took Dustin and Elsa's bags back. They took the opportunity to chat at Elsa's place for a while.
With the intelligence gathered by Little Snail, Selina knew a lot about New York. She knew even more than Elsa did about certain major events.
But the overall law and order in New York, as well as the internal struggles within NYPD, and the significance of the promotions and transfers of important departments, couldn't be analyzed by a smart program.
The current Elsa had a good understanding of this area.
She had discussed this with Dustin before she chose to sit in this position.
To a large extent, her intelligence abilities had already begun to shift toward internal rather than external intelligence.
Luke heard a rather big piece of news from her.
Chief District Attorney Samantha Reyes, who was interested in running for city council in the next election, had suddenly been exposed.
There was evidence that she had violated the rules many times during her tenure, interfered with justice, and even caused the deaths of innocent people.
Now, federal prosecutors were ready to investigate her.
