Luke had already interfered with Jessica's mind twice, and her mind was completely defenseless against him.
Only after hearing the news today did he remember that he hadn't observed the female detective for days. The calming effect from last time might be wearing off again, and he might have to perform a third in-depth intervention tomorrow night.
This way, he could learn more about her and Matt about the Hand, and prevent her from charging into a trap and getting chopped to death.
He wasn't too worried about going with the others. After all, Jessica's superpowers weren't weak, and it would be hard for the Hand's ninjas to stop her if she really wanted to run.
But if he were to be with Matt, even the Lucky Emperor would be led astray by him.
Thinking about how many times Ma Xiaohong had been beaten up recently, it was obvious how unlucky this guy was. Being his teammate was going to be very unlucky.
…
Another two peaceful days passed, and Selina asked Luke after work in the afternoon, "Do you want to go to the Stark Industrial Fair tonight?"
Luke, who was driving, didn't think much of it. "Sure. I haven't been to a stall in days. Maybe there's something fun."
Selina had a strange expression on her face. "You didn't pay attention to the news?"
Luke asked, "What news?"
Selina sighed, took out her phone, found a video, and played it.
"Hammer Industries is about to launch an epoch-making new product … Iron Patriot, Iron Warrior, will be the strongest line of defense for America to protect everyone …"
Luke glanced at his phone and saw Dustin's cheap cousin, Justin Hammer, spitting saliva as he promoted his products in what appeared to be a promotional video.
The video soon finished, and Selina put her phone back. "At half past seven tonight, Hammer Industries will hold a new product launch in the main exhibition hall of the Stark Industrial Fair."
Something flashed through Luke's mind. He frowned and thought for a moment, but then realized that he was overthinking.
He couldn't call Iron Man Wang Jinxi.
By the same logic, he couldn't really think that Justin had a steel XX just because Hammer Industries was riding on the popularity of their products.
This stupid CEO who cared only about his head and didn't care about his bottom line was always a little less reliable.
But he had a formidable father and a formidable grandfather who had pulled a lot of strings in the Department of Defense and the military decades ago. Although Justin was a little useless, he had still been able to get some orders.
Stark Industries had always focused on the middle and high end market, which was the most profitable, and tacitly left the rest of the pie to other arms companies.
Justin, the third generation of the Shang family, had been eating the leftovers that Young Master Tony didn't want. He had been eating happily all these years, showing the temperament of a dog.
However, this news also piqued Luke's interest in Hammer Industries' new products.
During the previous hearing, Tony had played the video of the company's experiment on creating paraplegics. Who knew what would happen this time?
It was actually quite good to go to the "scene" once in a while.
With that in mind, he asked Selina, "We don't have to squeeze in, right? It's just a little further away. What snacks do you want to eat? "
Selina immediately beamed with joy. "Then we can save on dinner. How about taking everything with us? I remember there's a maintenance tunnel on the steel frame of the main venue. No one will go up there. "
Luke said, "Okay, this is it."
The maintenance passageways were guarded by security or patrolling police during the exhibition period. Otherwise, it would be a huge problem if any terrorists went up and tried to clean the place from above.
Whether it was the security guards of Stark Industries or the NYPD patrolling police, they could easily pass through as "their own people."
The maintenance passageway wasn't wide. If it was just two people and a dog, it would be enough for them to sit comfortably and watch the press conference.
So, the two of them went home to train and make snacks. At seven in the evening, they went straight to Flushing.
There were a lot fewer people at the venue today than on the day of the opening ceremony, when Tony had almost knelt down.
It seemed that everyone knew Justin's level and knew that he couldn't pull off too many tricks.
There were a lot of people in the main exhibition hall, but they were only in twos and threes, far from being crowded.
Luke and Selina stood at the bottom of the steps of the main exhibition hall and raised their heads slightly to look at the circular building supported by glass and steel frames.
He said, "Do you think we'll find that it's half empty when we go in?"
Selina said, "There are fewer people and better air. Wouldn't it be better if we ate?"
Luke thought that it was true. In any case, it didn't seem like it had anything to do with them whether Justin Hammer's press conference turned out like this.
Luke and Selina, on the other hand, had to pay more attention to the tycoon's press conference.
Cube Corporation's shares in Stark Industries were now worth more than ten billion, and Jenny could attend board meetings every year.
Selina had 5% of Cube Corporation's shares, so she could be considered a minor shareholder.
Of course, Selina wasn't interested in her shares and assets.
In her words, it was money that she couldn't spend in this lifetime anyway, and there was no point in watching the numbers change every day.
Who knew if Stark would have another spasm one day and the stock price would plummet. She wouldn't feel the pinch if she didn't know the numbers.
Who knew if a certain tycoon would feel ashamed of his willfulness when he heard that?
While they were chatting, Luke suddenly reached out and grabbed a boy who was running past him.
The boy, who was three or four years old, was wearing a plastic Iron Man helmet on his head and a red plastic glove on his left hand. There was a white LED halo in his palm, and he was making "biubiu" sounds as he attacked the bad guys in his imagination.
In the end, Luke picked him up, and he subconsciously ran with his short legs.
After running for a while, he realized that the distance between him and the steps hadn't shortened, but had instead increased. Puzzled, he turned his head and saw Luke and Selina smiling.
"Peter, did Uncle Ben bring you here?" Luke wanted to laugh as he looked at the kid.
The little head in the steel helmet nodded. "That's right. He and May brought me to see Iron Man."
Luke and Selina couldn't help but look at each other. Would Justin cry if he heard that?
The steel helmet turned left and right, as if sizing up Luke and Selina. "Well, brother and sister, who are you?"
They couldn't help but laugh.
It had been almost a year since they last met, and this little guy was only two years old at the time. It would be strange if he remembered them.
At that moment, a shout came from behind them. "Peter, are you being naughty again? Didn't I tell you not to run around … Ah, Luke? Selina? "
Luke turned around with little Peter in his arms and smiled. "Hi, May. Long time no see. You're still as charming as ever."
With that, he put Peter down, walked up to Mei and hugged her.
Originally, he wanted to let go of her, but May kissed him passionately on the cheek. "If I knew you'd come to New York, I'd always wanted to invite you to my house."
Luke smiled in embarrassment. This time, he was really embarrassed.
