On the helicopter, Carol, who had gradually recovered, looked at Luke nervously. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you save us?"
Luke said, "For money."
Carol: "Huh?"
Luke said, "Someone offered me ten million dollars to help you with your safety in the future. That's not a bad price."
Carol was shocked. "T- ten million?"
Naturally, he couldn't waste the story that he had already made up, or the few minutes that he had spent making it up would have been for nothing.
He continued, "What, you think it's too little?"
Before Carol could shake her head in denial, Luke said, "It's indeed too little. Your ability is very valuable to some people, and your partner's ability might be even more valuable. Even I feel that the price for this mission is too low, based on the team of fifty apprehensions. It should be a hundred million. "
Carol was dumbfounded. "T- a hundred million?"
She had done all kinds of odd jobs, and she would be thankful if she could make twenty thousand dollars a year, but this masked man said that she and Lorna were worth a hundred million. Was she that valuable?
Shocked, she got out of the helicopter and followed Luke for another kilometer before they got into another car.
It wasn't until the car was some distance away that she remembered something. She looked at Lorna and the bald commander in the backseat in the rearview mirror, and hesitated.
Luke knew what she was thinking. He said, "Your friend is fine. She'll be fine after a nap."
Carol asked, "Wh- what about that person?"
Luke said, "That bald commander? I need to get information from him. I need to know who's after you in order to solve the problem of you being hunted down. "
Carol mumbled, "T- they're probably from Sentinel Special Service."
Luke nodded and said, "Tell me everything you know when you're free. It'll be easier if it's a small agency. "
Carol was stunned. "Huh? Easier?"
Luke said, "If it's a small group, we can cripple them, and they won't be able to cause you any trouble in a few months."
Carlo was shocked again. He didn't expect such an answer at all.
It was Sentinel Special Service! It was a terrifying department that dealt with superhumans, and was supposedly backed by the American government.
With that in mind, she began to talk about everything she knew.
The Sentinel Special Service was probably a secret organization that treated superhumans as enemies.
Of course, Luke felt that this was just an excuse to fool the higher-ups and cover up for himself.
In Carol's subsequent narration, part of it came from the experiences of the superhumans rescued from the Sentinel Secret Service. It was said that they were locked up in a secret research base and used as experimental subjects, undergoing many inhumane experiments.
Moreover, there were many mutants captured by the Sentinel Special Services, but very few could reappear.
Carlo had followed Lorna to destroy a research base and rescue some superhumans. Only then did he find out about these things.
After this incident, she and Lorna were targeted.
The people they had rescued had either left on their own or been captured one after another. Now, only Carlo and Lorna were left in hiding.
Luke could only sigh at the behavior of Lorna and her companions.
This was a matter of life and death, how could he do as he pleased!
They had to make preparations beforehand, such as how to attack, how to retreat, and how to cover their tracks.
They also had to make arrangements after the fact.
Where to hide and how to ensure everyone's safety in the future were just the most basic requirements.
Lorna and her companions clearly hadn't considered these problems before they took action.
They were a bunch of hot-blooded and brainless kids. They thought they had to be loyal, so they ran off to save people, but in the end, everyone died.
But Luke wouldn't look down on Lorna and her companions from above.
What could they do?
Apart from their own superpowers, these superhumans didn't have money or power, and they couldn't find anyone who could plan an operation or deal with the aftermath.
Even if she didn't rescue them, it would only delay their capture.
With their overwhelming advantage in power and wealth, the Sentinel Special Service wouldn't lose at all.
However, the Sentinel Special Service had bullied Carlo and Lorna with money and power earlier, so Luke could bully the Sentinel Special Service with them as well.
If his opponent was S.H.I.E.L.D., he would be a little more wary.
That was because S.H.I.E.L.D. was an organization that kept secrets from the general public and was open to the upper echelons.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had a close relationship with the American government. Beating it wouldn't just be S.H.I.E.L.D., but also the local police and the FBI.
The Sentinel Special Service was different.
Based on what Carlo had said, S.H.I.E.L.D. was probably the bodyguards and thugs of certain bigwigs on secret projects.
There was a serious problem with such secret organizations, and that was that they didn't dare expose themselves.
With someone protecting them, they could bypass the laws and regulations and use the name of law enforcement to secretly capture superhumans for experiments.
But they could only do it in secret.
For example, when Lorna and her companions destroyed a research base, there was no news at all, not even from the American government.
The experiments in that research base could be said to be anti-human.
The Sentinel Special Service wouldn't dare put the research base under the name of the military or the government. Otherwise, according to procedure, any losses would have to be reported.
At that time, it wouldn't be the public who would cause trouble for them, but the military and the government.
The bigwigs who supported the Sentinel Special Service's research would be easily caught by their opponents.
Thus, Luke wasn't afraid of offending these "black gloves" at all compared to offending a real government department.
Since everyone was playing dirty, it was time to see who had more money.
But Luke's goal was to destroy, not research.
The cost of destruction was much lower than research.
If things got out of hand, the other party would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Luke had never been the kind of person who would passively defend.
Protecting these superhumans would allow him to farm more abilities faster. Secondly, the Sentinel Special Service itself was a huge source of experience and credit points.
As long as Luke was willing, this agency would receive visits from all sorts of peace-loving superhumans.
Superheroes like Batman, V, Nightfiend, and Big Dipper would definitely come knocking on their door to greet them.
How long could the Sentinel Special Service exist under the care and concern of these peace elites?
Just like that, they chatted and pondered as the car returned to Manhattan.
After the car stopped, Carlo carried Lorna on his back, and Luke carried the bald commander into a dark alley. He opened the cover of the sewer and crawled in.
Carlo wasn't very used to the smell of the sewer, but Luke had already taken out a can of spray from his backpack and wiped away the smell on the four of them.
Then, carrying the other two on their backs, they walked in the sewer for another twenty minutes before they crawled back to the surface. They sprayed away the smell again and entered an apartment building on the side.
