Mindy chuckled. "They don't have any evidence. The surveillance cameras were broken, and I stabbed her from under the table. Apart from the "strong" smell, they weren't hurt at all. "
Luke was amused. "That's good."
Mindy didn't get the lecture she had expected, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "That's it?"
Luke asked, "What's it?"
Mindy asked, "Don't you want to say anything?"
Pondering for a moment, Luke nodded. "Well done."
Mindy: "…"
The little girl was in a good mood after that. She accompanied Luke home and played with Gold Nugget for an hour before she went home alone.
Although Luke was going to see her off, she waved her little fist. "See that? My fist is as big as a sandbag. It won't be a problem to kill a hooligan with one punch."
So, Luke readily accepted the advice.
She had already fought Nikki and the others twice in front of him, so he didn't have to pretend that he didn't know how strong she was.
Watching Gold Nugget see Mindy off, Selina raised an eyebrow at Luke. "Is she your long-lost sister?"
Luke rolled his eyes. "In your dreams. Do you think you can keep getting it right after you've gotten it right once? I'm not Dustin. "
Selina burst out laughing.
Last time, she had casually said that Justin Hammer was Dustin's long-lost brother, and in the end, she had actually been partially right. She had mocked Luke several times after that.
It was really too difficult to catch someone in the act.
In fact, in a sense, Mindy could be considered Selina's "sister."
After all, apart from Robert, they were the only teammates that the system recognized.
After laughing for a moment, she asked, "How's the investigation going on with the Hand?"
Luke shook his head. "We found a few more shell companies, all of which were registered decades ago. It'll be hard to continue investigating unless we find paper documents. "
Selina asked, "So, we can't do anything about the Hand?"
Luke chuckled. "No, as long as we spend some money, someone will help us find these things. It'll just take some time. After all, they aren't computer files, and we can only dig them out bit by bit. Don't worry, they can't get away. "
Paper documents were troublesome to find, but it was also easy to make mistakes when destroying them. Perhaps a few documents would be missed somewhere.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
A few days later, a message came from the polyhedron system.
The Sentinel Secret Service had basically locked on to him.
As Luke had imagined, this organization only had one secret research base.
The first base was in the vicinity, the one that Lorna and the others had taken down. After that, it was moved to Alcali Lake in British Columbia, Canada.
From then on, for the sake of safety, the arrest team and the base were separated into two separate systems.
The baldy from last time was only responsible for handing over the person he caught to the base. He did not know where the new base was located.
Luke's polyhedron system was much weaker in monitoring other countries than it was in America.
The Titanium cell phones were mainly sold in the United States, while Canada was sparsely populated. Alcari Lake could be said to be a deserted place. In the end, the location was inferred from the movements of the vehicles.
This was also the reason why Luke hadn't found the base yet, but this location was very useful for his cleanup operation.
In the past, his biggest concern was still the government forces of various countries.
The Sentinel Special Service moved their research base to the wilderness of Canada, which was equivalent to setting up a closed place for themselves.
Even if they had other reinforcements, it would probably be difficult for them to get there in time.
Luke began to prepare the operation plan in an orderly manner. He also adjusted his schedule to make sure that Selina could help him for a day or two.
Before he left, he went to look for Carol and Lorna.
He was still using the identity of the old mercenary. When he appeared in front of the two girls, they were calm.
Sitting on the sofa, Luke couldn't help but smile as he watched Carol give him a cup of coffee.
Carol was very professional when she delivered the coffee. Back in Houston, she had worked as a waitress. It seemed that she would be able to adapt to the peaceful life.
He took out a document from his bag and gave it to them. "Sign this. You can report to the company tomorrow."
Carol picked up the document and signed it without even looking at it.
Lorna, on the other hand, flipped through the document from beginning to end. It was a quick read, but she did read everything.
She then raised her head and looked at him. "Black and White Mask Records? What can we do in there? Sing or dance? "
Luke said, "For now, doing odd jobs is more suitable for your hidden needs. Cleaning is a good position."
Lorna's eyes widened. "What?"
Luke shrugged. "You start at nine in the morning and get off at three in the afternoon. Is there anything you're not happy about?"
Lorna was stunned. "That's not in the contract, is it?"
Luke said, "Cleaning? Why is the contract so detailed?"
Carol was already secretly tugging on Lorna's clothes.
She felt that as long as they could live like normal people, it wouldn't be unacceptable for them to work as cleaners.
Also, Luke had said that it was only temporary. He was clearly giving them time to adapt and transition from a life of hiding to a normal life on the streets.
Lorna glared at Carol angrily, but didn't say anything else.
She was actually only sixteen, and had started living on the streets before she even finished high school. She didn't really understand the contract, and was just pretending to be mature.
After putting the signed contract back into his bag, he gestured to Carol, and the two of them walked out the door.
Lorna was tempted to follow them, but she wasn't thick-skinned enough, and could only watch them leave.
As he walked downstairs with Carol, Luke gave her two wads of cash. "My employer asked me to give you your relocation allowance. You won't get paid for another week. Don't starve."
Carol was about to refuse, but when she heard that last sentence, she accepted the money with a bitter smile.
The two wads of cash were worth twenty dollars, which was actually only four thousand.
She would return it to Luke when she had the money in the future. That was what she thought.
"I'm going to look for the research institute. Is there anyone in particular you want to find?" he asked casually.
Carol trembled and stopped. "So soon?"
Luke said, "I can't help it. They're paying me."
Carol was lost for words. A moment later, she shook her head. "I don't have anyone to save. Just do your best."
She had always been suspicious of this mysterious mercenary.
It wasn't that she suspected that he was plotting against them, but that she didn't have any hope that he could completely destroy the Sentinel Service.
She didn't think that it was something that a single person could do.
Back then, they had seven or eight companions, and all of them had superpowers. In the end, only she and Lorna were left.
