Yes! Very happy. " The happy Mindy didn't notice the subtle expression on her father's face. She simply smiled and nodded vigorously. "Oh, right. Luke wants you to meet my new friend too."
Damon's conflicted heart was comforted a little. Thankfully, his daughter hadn't forgotten him after one trip out.
He had to keep a normal mind and try to get used to Mindy having classmates and friends, not just him.
A moment later, he was dumbfounded as he watched Mindy and Nikki fight fiercely on the screen. After a long while, he finally asked, "Is your friend also …"
Of course, Mindy knew what her father was thinking. She rolled her eyes. "She lives on the Upper West Side. Her father is a senior manager of some company, and her mother is an accountant."
Damon was even more surprised. "She doesn't look like she's killed anyone, but she can actually spar with you?"
Mindy chuckled. "Women's Self-Defense Club."
Damon's face was dark. Are you kidding me? Everyone in the Men's Self-Defense Club will die if they piss you off.
Mindy wasn't in a hurry. She didn't play the second video until the first one was over.
It was a video of her fight with Monica.
This time, Damon was finally numb to it, and didn't ask the stupid question of whether Monica was a sister-killer like him and his daughter.
He knew that his daughter would tell him.
Luke had asked her to come back and tell him so that he could check on her.
It would be irresponsible of him not to let Damon know that his daughter had such a strong friend.
It didn't matter if Luke confirmed that the two girls were good or bad; the key was that Damon had to confirm it himself.
After all, Mindy was his daughter, and they were father and daughter.
Twenty minutes later, Damon finally heard from his daughter, who was a little too excited, what had happened today.
He only had one word for it: F * ck off!
It was very normal for his daughter to run into a cheap girl like Brook. It was something that she had to face in her daily life, and he didn't need to make a fuss about it.
Mindy's mental endurance and pride were enough to support her through the discomfort period. In the end, it would be Brook and the others who would suffer.
But Luke had pulled the strings and turned Nikki and Monica into Mindy's friends. Damon was rather annoyed. What happened to their daily life? How did his daughter get two "kindred spirits" just by going out?
Even though he was conflicted, he had no intention of interfering with his daughter's school life.
But just now, he heard that the two girls had beaten up more than ten hooligans together when they were thirteen or fourteen years old. That was how they became good friends.
Now, Mindy was with the two girls. Her daughter had fought more hoodlums than them, and was a little resistant to the dull school life.
What would happen if the three of them were together?
Damon felt that he needed to make some emergency plans for the future.
She could also call Luke and ask him if he did it on purpose! Why did these two "new friends" suddenly appear when Mindy was about to adapt to her new life?
Luke soon received a call from Damon on his way to Flushing.
He wasn't in the mood to deal with an oversensitive father.
He only stated with certainty that he had only met the two girls two or three times and knew nothing about their hobby of fighting. He had only found them because they happened to be at Dalton High.
After putting down the phone, Damon also felt a little nervous.
He asked Mindy, and confirmed that Nikki and Monica had both been at Dalton High for three years and had been on the cheerleading team for two years.
Damon had only decided which school Mindy would go to two months ago. Nobody could have arranged for them to get close to Mindy in advance.
Thus, Damon was relieved that he had been worried sick about his father.
After getting rid of Damon, Luke went to Flushing.
He parked the car in the police department's parking lot on the outskirts, then got into the SUV that had just vacated the parking space, and drove off.
The official opening ceremony of the Stark Industrial Fair was to be held at seven that night, and there would be a big show.
It was five in the afternoon, which happened to be the peak time for people to enter. All kinds of people and cars turned the place into a noisy ocean.
It was still very cold in New York in February. The temperature hovered around zero degrees, but the atmosphere near the venue was as hot as a furnace.
The closer they got to the performance venue on the side of the venue, the hotter the air became.
Unlike during the day, most of the people walking next to him were adults. Instead, they were young people in groups of three to five, laughing and joking as they gathered at the performance venue.
They were all here for tonight's performance.
What was the most striking feature of Stark Industries? Most people's first reaction was that it was rich.
Thanks to a certain tycoon's endorsement for more than a decade, this feature had been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Nobody doubted it.
Tonight's performance wasn't something that any Las Vegas show could compare to.
That was because the Las Vegas show was ultimately about making money, while Stark Industries' show was purely … a certain tycoon's pleasure.
There were top singers, top dance troupes, top magicians, and top acrobatic troupes.
The tycoon wouldn't invite any performers who were below the top level. He couldn't afford to lose face.
This was a super carnival that Stark Industries had organized.
Coincidentally, today was China's lunar new year, which was the first day of the new year.
There had been more and more Chinese in Flushing in recent years, and it was almost like a new Chinatown had been created here. Similarly, a lively New Year celebration was underway.
Although the two sides weren't in the same area, many people who had come from the New Year celebration could sense the liveliness.
Then, they entered the venue on this side and saw that it was even livelier. Naturally, their spirits rose.
Many of the girls were wearing thick jackets that were tied around their waists, revealing large areas of snow-white, wheat-colored, and dark skin. They blended in with the hot evening.
The atmosphere in the car, on the other hand, wasn't as enthusiastic.
After Luke took over the responsibility of driving and patrolling, Selina put down the backrest and collapsed in the passenger seat. She said, "These young people are even more excited than they were during the new year. They're so lively."
Luke patrolled unhurriedly and turned his head to look at her. "Tired?"
Selina said lethargically, "I'm not tired. It's just that it's too boring to patrol alone. Gold Nugget can still hide in the back and watch shows. I can listen to some music at most. "
Luke was amused. "Thank you for your hard work. Our mission will be complete three days after the show starts. You can take a break then."
Selina asked, "Do I look like the kind of person who slacks off?"
Luke smiled. "Well, you're not. I misunderstood you just now. So, what do you want? "
Selina stretched out her hand.
Gold Nugget, who had been watching a show, immediately got up and picked up the food crate from the seat next to it.
Opening the crate, she put on a pair of membrane gloves and took out a piece of Napoleon. "Tell me, what did you and Mindy run into today?"
