Carol had said that Lorna hadn't killed innocent people, but that only proved that she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
As an outstanding actor, Luke didn't really trust other people's impressions.
For example, the number of people he had killed and the number of people he had killed in reality were two different things. But how many people knew that?
Picking up his coffee, he nodded and said, "Let's go. I'll talk to her."
Carol hurriedly picked up her juice and followed him.
Seeing the two of them walk back, Lorna also retracted her gaze. She picked up her juice and took a sip, pretending that she was just eating seriously.
But when she saw that Carol was blindly following the young man who had suddenly appeared, she felt uneasy, like a little girl who found out that a boy had stolen her playmate.
While she was feeling depressed, Luke put down the coffee in his hand and observed the girl in front of him.
She had long, straight, curly black hair. Her lips were plump and perfect, and her eyes were deep and large under her thick eyebrows. She had a tall and straight nose, a pair of round wings, and a smooth forehead.
There was a popular saying that went, "Girls who dare show their forehead aren't bad looking."
Not only was this Lorna pretty, she was also very outstanding.
Her facial features were beautiful and elegant, and didn't have the cheap look of an internet celebrity.
The heavens must have put in a lot of effort when they molded this face.
Luke praised her inwardly and said, "Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Luke Coulson."
Luo Na's expression was cold as she nodded slightly. "Lorna, I think Carol has told you."
Carol was a little embarrassed.
Lorna had told him to keep it a secret and not to divulge anything about them.
Luke was still smiling. "Okay, Lorna. I know what your problem is, and I can help you solve it. But I want to know if you've ever used your abilities to hurt innocent people? "
Hearing the question, Lorna immediately thought of running away.
But before her body could move, her mouth answered, "No, we just don't want to be caught." After saying this, she stood up.
Lorna was stunned. What's going on? Why should I answer that?
Luke was still smiling. "Lorna, don't be impatient. Can you sit down first? Carol is my friend, and I trust her. But this is the first time we've met, so it's reasonable for me to confirm the situation, isn't it? "
Lorna wanted to get angry again, but she immediately sat down.
Why should I listen to him? Why should I sit down? Her mind was a little muddled.
Luke secretly chuckled.
This Lorna was at most fifteen or sixteen years old. She was in the so-called middle phase.
An ordinary child's chuunibyou phase consisted mostly of arguing with their parents and picking up some bad habits. Even if she managed to get through it, she would still be chased by the Secret Service.
In this kind of living environment, it was normal for her to be sensitive and easily angered.
Luke had three other superpowered girls hidden in New Jersey. They were in the same situation, and were even stupid enough to break the prisoners out.
It was difficult for children who had lost the education of a normal family and school life to avoid such problems.
Therefore, after confirming that she did not use her ability to kill indiscriminately, his attitude became more tolerant.
"The problem you are facing is actually not that big of a deal." He picked up his coffee and took a sip.
After putting down the cup, he continued, "I'll help you avoid those people. You have enough time to think about it. In the future, whether you want to be an ordinary person and work nine to five, or whether you don't want to be ordinary and want to do something, it's all fine. "
Lorna's rebellious nature surfaced again. "Do you think you can deal with the Secret Service? Why? Don't tell me you have some powerful ability? "
"Most problems in this world can be solved with money. If you can't solve them, it's usually because you don't have enough money. "Luke took another sip of his coffee and recalled a certain old man's" famous saying. "
Thus, he raised his eyes and looked at Lorna with a smile in his eyes. "As for my ability, it should be money."
Lorna instantly choked.
As a child who grew up in America, whether it was her daily life or the American dream, it all boiled down to money.
For example, most people's first reaction to success was "how much money" or "how much wealth" they had.
If you had to define success, it was best to say that it was earned by the person themselves.
Cheating … was basically a kind of success in America.
Even if many people didn't think that money was everything, everyone knew that money was everything in America.
Unwilling to give up, Lorna quickly regained her composure. "Are you very rich? Millions? Tens of millions? Do you think that's enough? Hehe, why don't you say you're Tony Stark? "
Luke was amused. "I'm not Tony Stark."
Lorna chuckled, feeling that she had the upper hand.
Luke said, "But tens of millions are nothing to me."
Also, I'm a "hidden" shareholder of Stark Industries. Luke added in his heart.
Lorna: "What?"
She then looked at Carol suspiciously, as if to say, "I don't think you told me that you know a super magnate."
A person who didn't even have tens of millions worth of wealth would have to have at least a few billion to 800 million to barely be able to act like this.
A magnate like that really didn't need to be afraid of the Secret Service.
There were too many things that could be done with money in America.
Carol, who was watching the show, hurriedly gave Luke an "I don't know anything" look.
Luke coughed and said, "Don't be suspicious. I know that Carol and you have "talents," and I know what kind of people you're up against. They're indeed troublesome, but as long as you spend tens of millions, there will be countless mercenaries willing to risk their lives to protect you. Unless they ambush you with someone with "talents," there's nothing they can do to you. "
Lorna opened her plump lips, as if she wanted to retort, but she didn't know what to say.
Tens of millions? Many mercenaries would be willing to risk their lives for just a few million.
Luke, however, waved his hand. "That's too untechnical, and might cause problems later. So, I'll think of something else. How about this: I'll take my girlfriend home first, and I'll come back to you later. Carol, do you have a phone? "
Carol shook her head. "We don't dare take our phones with us. We'll be easily tracked, and we don't have anyone we need to contact."
Luke subconsciously reached into his jacket, only to find himself in an awkward situation. The system modifications hadn't been completed yet, and he couldn't take things out of his inventory.
"How about this? Tell me a location, and I'll pick you up at eight tonight," said Luke.
The two girls looked at each other.
Naturally, Carol had no objections. She trusted Luke a lot, so she simply begged the stubborn Lorna to agree with her eyes.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lorna finally said, "There's a gas station two hundred meters away."
She turned her head away from Luke as she spoke, as if she were throwing a tantrum.
