Luke really didn't know where this stone door had come from.
But it was like the Destroyer taking an armor-piercing bullet at close range without breaking its skin; that wasn't something that Earth's current science could understand.
However, this thing of unknown origin might be beneficial, but it could also be a trap. It wasn't advisable to act blindly.
It was also very difficult to take it away, so he didn't delve into it for now.
As they talked, Luke heard something. He used his ability to investigate the top of the pit for a moment, and said with a strange expression, "Daredevil and his ex-girlfriend are here. Don't move. This guy's hearing can easily detect us."
Selina stood obediently, but couldn't help but ask, "Ex-girlfriend? Isn't he afraid that Karen will run away? "
Luke pondered for a moment. "Maybe he can handle it?"
Selina asked, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Luke said, "I'm still a kid. I'm not even twenty yet. I really can't compare to an old man in his thirties."
Selina chuckled. "Hehe."
After chatting for a while on the internal comms, Matt and Selina appeared above the pit.
But before they could come down, several red figures dashed out of the darkness and surrounded them.
Luke narrowed his eyes. "Ninjas in red? The Hand? "
These ninjas had probably been alarmed by Matt and Selina. They definitely weren't here earlier, or Luke would have noticed them when they came in.
Selina asked, "What are these ninjas doing? I haven't seen them recently. I thought they gave up on Clinton. "
Luke said, "Let's take a look first."
The ex-couple clearly didn't have anything to say to the Hand. They didn't say a word and immediately started fighting as soon as they got close.
However, it was difficult for two fists to fight four hands. The ex-couple was at a disadvantage in a few minutes, and Matt decisively ran away with his ex-girlfriend.
It was clear that the kid had become a lot smarter recently. He knew that he couldn't use force sometimes, or a concussion and tranquilizers would be waiting for him.
Looking at the image from the drone above the pit, Selina suddenly asked in confusion, "Don't you think that the leader of the ninjas in red looks a little familiar?"
Luke's eyes flickered. "Yes. I stabbed him in the head with a throwing knife last time, and I saw him die in front of us."
Selina's mind raced, and she asked in surprise, "Was it the ninjas in red by the river last time? But weren't they all killed by your throwing knives? "
Luke sneered. "I'm very interested in that too. It's not common for the dead to be resurrected. Let's go."
Selina asked, "You're not going to deal with them?"
Luke said, "Just keep an eye on them for now. The Hand can't only have these few ninjas. Let's keep these people alive and see if we can find their lair by following the clues. "
These were free experience and credit points. It would be a waste not to take them.
He would not simply kill these red-clothed ninjas. They might come back to life in a few days.
It was already miraculous that these guys could resurrect from his hands once. If they did it a second time, it would be too much of a slap in the face. He couldn't bear this injustice.
After he snuck out, Luke set up surveillance cameras in hidden spots around the building to keep an eye on it.
The next day, Luke went to Foggy's office early in the morning and asked him to try to persuade the residents who hadn't moved out to accept the conditions and move out of the apartment building as soon as possible.
Foggy thought for a moment, and his expression turned ugly. "Danger?"
Luke didn't give a direct answer. He simply said, "I noticed some suspicious people sneaking in and out of the building. They're no hooligans. If you live there, you will be affected by anything that happens. "
Foggy didn't doubt Luke.
Luke's character had already been proven through his donations and actions.
More importantly, he liked Luke, so he nodded and agreed. "Actually, the company's relocation conditions aren't bad. The remaining families are used to the convenience here, and the security has improved a lot recently, so they didn't accept it. I'll explain the situation. They should listen. "
Luke nodded.
Clinton was the heart of Manhattan.
It had such a bad reputation before, mostly because Kingpin and his gang had done it on purpose.
After a few reconstructions or renovations, a large amount of capital would swarm in, and real estate prices would soar to a despairing level.
In America, there were plenty of gangs who hid in old apartment buildings to sell illegal drugs.
It was very rare for a gang to do this in a luxury office building or a top apartment.
At the same time, the high housing prices meant that there would be plenty of tax revenue here, and NYPD would definitely protect it.
At that time, it would be very difficult for any gang to do illegal business in Clinton.
No one was stupid in this world. Anyone who controlled real estate in Clinton was aiming to make a fortune one day.
Currently, the rent in Clinton wasn't high, but the housing prices hadn't been low.
For example, Jenny had used her connections to buy Luke's five-story building as a condition of licensing the Titanium phone technology, which was why she had been able to buy it.
Without any other benefits, people wouldn't buy it even if the price doubled. They would just wait for the price to rise.
Most of the people in that apartment building were tenants, not the owners.
Considering the convenience of working and saving on commuting costs, many people were reluctant to leave.
Now that their lives were on the line, they would choose to stay away.
After saying that, Luke was about to leave.
But Foggy stopped him.
He waited for a few seconds, but the little fatty didn't say anything. Instead, he saw the stuttering expression on the fat man's face, and felt like laughing. "Foggy, I'm not a woman. What's with that embarrassing expression of yours? Don't tell me you're ready to come out of the closet. I don't discriminate against this group, but there's no way I'm joining it. "
Foggy couldn't help but raise his middle finger and return to normal. "The community reconstruction project is almost done. You know that, right?"
Luke nodded.
The reconstruction project had started a few days before Christmas last year. It was now the middle of February, and it had been almost two months. It was indeed time for it to end.
"Why? There's a shortage of money. Are you afraid someone will cause trouble? "He casually mentioned the most likely possibility.
Foggy shook his head. "No. We'll keep an eye on this area. It's about enough. "
In fact, the donations were indeed a little lacking.
Foggy was already prepared to take out part of the 50,000 yuan the firm would receive this month to make up for the deficit.
Luke asked, "So what's the problem?"
Foggy said, "Actually, I think it's a good thing, but there's a small problem for now."
Luke said, "Speak. I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute. I don't have the time to listen to you. "
Foggy was stunned. Shouldn't I, the lawyer, be the one to say that? Also, I only make a few hundred dollars an hour in theory.
Complaining inwardly about this terrible opening, he still explained the details.
It turned out that the problem was with the temporary construction team, and it wasn't simply a bad thing.
