Luke knew that things wouldn't be that simple.
He had been deliberately simplifying things with what he had said earlier.
However, thousands of lives were at stake. Even though Damon was mature, he would occasionally think that "maybe I'm partly responsible" for it.
Why didn't Luke think that? Because he had the system.
After stopping the attack on the Experimentals, the system gave him 70,000 experience and credit points.
His three-star teammate, Selina, and his one-star teammates, Mindy, Alice, and Little Turtle, had shared the experience and credit points. A conservative estimate was that he had saved 5,000 lives to get so much experience and credit points.
In other words, if he hadn't summoned his team that night, thousands more people would have died in New York.
It was a simple choice to watch thousands of people die, or to work hard to reduce the death toll to just over a thousand.
Hearing Damon's words, Luke simply smiled. "Did you order the Experimentals to enter New York and start a massacre?"
Damon subconsciously shook his head. "How is that possible?"
Luke spread his hands. "We're just passive defenders. The battle is among the people. If the Experimentals are missiles, thousands of people will die if you don't stop them from falling, and a thousand people will be killed if you stop them from falling. Aren't you going to stop them? "
Damon was speechless.
Luke said, "Don't be fooled by the hypocrisy and lies of the outside world. Your heart is the only answer."
As he spoke, he pointed at his heart. "As long as it tells you that it's the right thing to do, do it."
Damon remained silent and nodded slightly.
Mindy rubbed her chest and her eyes flickered. She suddenly interjected, "My heart tells me that it doesn't want to go to so many cultural classes. It thinks this is the right thing to do. Can I do that?"
The two men looked at her. How much do you hate going to school? How can you come up with such a nonsensical reason?
Luke rubbed her head with a smile. "Then let me tell you the second half of what I said just now."
"The bigger the fist, the louder the voice, and the more obedient people will be." He said leisurely, "If you want to do the right thing, you first have to have a strong enough fist to make people listen to you."
Mindy's mouth fell open.
The first part of the sentence was like a bowl of chicken soup, and the second part was true.
She subconsciously looked at her own little fist, and then at her father's sandbag-sized fist. 'Well, in this world, the one with the bigger fist is the one in the right.'
…
Luke was relieved when he left Damon's house.
Damon's mental state was only slightly affected. He should be fine now.
Mindy was even simpler. He used a little pheromone control to make her ignore those awful programs and comments and just focus on being a student.
This was in line with the big loli's thoughts. She was not interested in thinking about those bullsh * t things.
This kind of pheromone induction would last for a long time, and there would be no need for a follow-up for a month or two.
The poisonous chicken soup that he gave to the big loli Mindy was also sincere.
Was Luke's life so easy just because he firmly believed that he was right?
No, what made him so relaxed was money, as well as the increase in power and strength that money brought.
If he was really an ordinary superhero, even if he had tens of millions of assets, he would still be very tired now.
But the combination of money, power, and his own combat ability made him invincible.
Using this strength, he could know who wanted to deal with him, and how they wanted to deal with him.
Then, it was time for him to figure out how to deal with these people.
In the eyes of the bigshots, this incident might be a fishing game. They were the ones with the fishing rod in their hands, and Batman and the superheroes were just the fish. It was just a matter of when they would take the bait.
Luke, on the other hand, felt that this was actually more like the standalone version of the "dark forest law."
In the dark forest of the United States, Batman and the big shots were all hunters.
Whoever exposed themselves in advance would become the prey.
However, there were only two parties in this game. The bigshots were more or less on the same side, while Batman was alone.
Thus, the bigshots thought that they were the fishermen, not the prey.
But Luke was already crouching outside their encirclement and recording each and every one of them in a small black notebook. He could also check the prey one by one and pick out the fat ones while he was at it.
Shooting from the dark was his specialty!
…
After appeasing Damon and his daughter, things were much simpler for Alice.
She and her daughter didn't watch the news, nor did they read the comments online.
The mother and daughter just watched TV shows, did all kinds of fitness exercises and combat training, and lived a very ordinary life.
So, when Alice suggested that they find time to take Carrie to the amusement park, Luke agreed without much hesitation.
When Alice asked Carrie which amusement park she wanted to go to, Carrie became conflicted when she heard that she had the right to choose and make the final decision.
There was more than one place she wanted to go, but it was hard to tell which one she wanted to go to the most.
Luke didn't care. Even if he rented a plane to Los Angeles, it was just a matter of money.
It would be good to give the girl time to think about it and make a decision after they did some research online.
At that point, Luke only had one last target left for Operation Ernest — the little turtle and his disciple.
Ivan? Sorry, this guy didn't need to be comforted at all.
As a villain, he had already turned over a new leaf by not killing a few innocent people. Now, someone was saying that he wasn't perfect?
In response to this, Ivan just hugged two girls in the bar and watched a few idiotic female hosts blindly gesticulating on the TV. The corners of his mouth curled up in a devilish smile. "Suka is not included!"
The two girls were so captivated by this smile that they couldn't help but clamp their legs together.
This kind of smile was perfect for this kind of decadent and handsome face. Coupled with the unruly look on his face, they couldn't wait.
Ivan stopped watching the news and left with the two girls in his arms.
Compared to those old and ugly female hosts and female guests chattering on TV, he preferred to listen to the girls yelling in his ears, "Oh my God" and "Oh yes" and so on.
While Ivan was busy hitting on the girls, Luke entered the little turtle and his disciple's temporary home in his bat armor.
The little turtle and his disciple were very happy to see him, especially Selina.
In particular, Selina came too. She even brought a huge pile of cheese pizzas. She patted the four little turtles' heads with a smile and fed them with "turtle" food.
Luke could only roll his eyes.
Thankfully, the visor saved Batman's style, preventing this very unladylike expression from showing.
Clearly, Selina's pet preferences seemed to have gone awry after Gold Nugget appeared.
But come to think of it, Dollar was probably a pet raised by her parents, not hers.
It could only be said that she liked dogs, but not that her favorite pet was a dog.
Looking at the four forgiveness beasts, who were a little silly, a little round, and a little silly, Luke sighed. So be it. In any case, they would just be fed cheese pizzas made with smart kitchenware. They were much easier to deal with than Gold Nugget.
