It wasn't hard to understand Jaina's current attitude.
Not only had Night Devil John let her off, he had also helped her get rid of Santino and become the head of the family. Naturally, she wasn't willing to accept that commission.
The Fraternity had just sent out a famous killer to intervene in the battle for the head of the Camorra family, when Night Devil John immediately came knocking and killed nineteen Legendary killers, including Sloan.
Even an idiot could tell that Night Devil and Jaina were allies.
Similarly, Jaina wouldn't have let the High Table deal with Night Devil John unless she was an idiot.
She had just become one of the twelve Masterminds, and her position wasn't that stable.
But as long as she had Night Devil as an ally, she would have a trump card that could "kill."
Jaina would probably be happy to pass on the name of whoever spoke up in favor of extermination and bounty to Night Devil.
Even the high and mighty twelve Masterminds didn't really want to provoke the current Night Devil.
This guy had inexplicably retired for four years, and had actually become so terrifying when he took action again.
In comparison, a lot of people from the Fraternity and Tarasov had died recently, and a lot of territory had been emptied out. Everyone could definitely get a share of the loot.
The risk was very low, and the benefits were high. It was much more worth it than dealing with that stinky and stubborn Night Devil.
In the end, thanks to Jaina's efforts, the twelve Masterminds of the High Table could only put aside Night Devil John's punishment for now.
When Luke learned of this, he could only express his regret.
But he couldn't yell at Jaina, "Why are you so active?" He could only pinch his nose and accept it.
It was good to put aside the High Table dungeon for now.
Such a large dark force couldn't possibly disappear.
After he was done with the Sentinel Service, he would take his time to fleece the High Table.
When that time came, he would still get the experience and credit points.
After being immersed in crafting for a few days, Selina suddenly mentioned something during dinner. "Hey, are you really not going to take a look at the real estate company next door that's digging a pit?"
Luke was stunned for a moment. "Digging a pit? Wait, they're still digging? "
Selina stared at him speechlessly for a moment, before she shook her head and sighed. "Although the soundproofing here is very good, the other residents can't take it anymore. I can hear their machines buzzing for hours every now and then. It's like they're opening a mine. Karen even stopped me at work in the morning and asked me to tell you about it. "
Luke scratched his head in embarrassment.
He had really forgotten about this matter.
A few days after Foggy said that the strange real estate company had moved residents and was secretly working on the project, Luke had flown a mini drone to take a look and found that the other party was digging a pit under the building.
No matter what the real estate company's purpose was, it was definitely not the renovation of the old building's sewers.
That was because the value of that building was not worth a sewer project with a diameter of ten meters.
Why the other party had dug a hole wasn't the point. The point was that after he had told Foggy, the NYPD and City Hall had come, but there had been no news.
Obviously, the other party's forces had easily stopped the government's operation.
It was not easy to make these departments knowingly break the law, but it was easy to make them lower their efficiency and delay interfering with the pit digging project for a few months.
Luke didn't have any evidence, and it would be too outrageous to accuse them of digging a hole to manufacture illegal drugs. Thus, he put the matter on hold for now.
Now that he heard Selina's words, he recalled this matter.
Rubbing his chin, he looked at Selina. "Why don't we go and take a look tonight?"
Selina said, "Okay."
Recently, Luke had rarely taken her to see the "night view." It was a little boring for her to beat up those hooligans on her own.
She felt that the main reason was that she didn't have a certain someone's flirtatious temperament. She only knew how to fight simple and crude monsters and send a bunch of orthopedic patients to the hospital.
Luke, on the other hand, could always find new fun in these small operations.
For example, with a few words and a few actions, some hooligans would be so scared that they would pee themselves. It was full of dark humor.
At first, she had rejected this kind of vile interest.
But after seeing Luke force those incontinent hooligans to turn themselves in with their legs crossed and drugs in their hands, she fell in love with this feeling.
Bad smell? No way.
The new armor could completely block out the smell, and the excrement was basically in the hooligans' crotches. At most, there would be some water stains.
Only the hooligans who were conflicted and in pain knew what it felt like to run with their legs clenched.
After agreeing, they weren't in a hurry to leave. Instead, they went to complete their daily training and work.
At nine o 'clock, the two of them and the dog put on their stealth suits and left the house.
This place was too close to their home in the Clinton area. Luke and Selina had no choice but to take an underground tunnel before they circled back.
Most of the residents of the apartment building had already moved out. Most of the rooms were dark, and it looked like a haunted building, which made it easy for the two of them and the dog to sneak in.
Feeling his way to the big hole in the ground, Luke looked down and was a little surprised. He said in the internal communication channel, "They've dug it … at least twenty meters deep, right?"
Selina said, "Got it. I came here a few days ago, but I didn't dig this deep. There's no plastic tarp at the bottom. "
Luke said, "Let's go down and take a look."
The plastic tarp wasn't just a single piece, but it covered the entire bottom of the pit.
It was impossible to see what was inside the tarp from the top of the hole. They could only see some shadows projected by the light on the tarp. Some were still debris, and some were moving figures and machines.
Not only could they hear the residents complaining about the machines, there was also an even more unpleasant creaking sound, which seemed to be the sound of metal rubbing against stone.
After they snuck in, they saw something that looked like a shield tunneling machine, but it was smaller.
Luke was stunned. "How did they get this thing in?"
Selina was surprised too.
Even if it was a small tunnel boring machine, it would be difficult to sneak into the crowded Clinton District without anyone noticing.
But this real estate company had done it.
After they entered the tarp, they just hid in a corner and watched the shield tunneling machine drill through a stone door.
After watching for a moment, Selina couldn't help but ask, "This door isn't too big, right? Why didn't you dig through it from the side?"
Luke shook his head. "This is only the exposed side of the door. Just think of it as a stone box."
Selina hummed and asked a second question, "There seems to be something wrong with this stone door. Why isn't there even a scratch on the machine after so long? "
Luke said, "Something's definitely wrong. According to the residents, the machine has been humming for a few days, but this stone door is perfectly fine. It's not just sturdy. There has to be something else. "
