Jenny's arrival didn't affect the atmosphere at the family gathering. In fact, it even improved slightly.
Because with just a few words from her, Luke's grandfather, Drax, and Selina's father, Marino, were able to resolve a bunch of small problems with the ranch.
As one of the top business bigwigs in America, she had plenty of manpower and resources. Solving the operation of a "small" ranch wasn't a problem at all.
In that regard, Luke couldn't compare to her.
He didn't rely on business to make a living, and his grandpa's ranch wasn't losing money. It was just a small problem with the transition, so nobody at home told him about it.
Secondly, Robert's doubts about the meeting were dispelled by Jenny.
She guaranteed that he would only have to attend certain meetings if it was absolutely necessary.
Such a situation might only happen once every few years or more — for example, when Stark Industries closed its weapons department and Obadiah held a shareholders' meeting.
Most of Catherine's worries were also dispelled by Jenny's explanation.
At the very least, Catherine now truly believed that Luke had earned so much wealth with his skills, and not through fighting and killing.
It wasn't that she didn't believe Luke, but that she wanted more proof.
Jenny was the most famous business bigwig in America in the last year or so, and her words were very trustworthy.
Catherine didn't think that Luke could trick a tycoon with a net worth of more than ten billion to put on an act with him by fighting.
She had no interest in looking at the shares contract of the Cosmic Cube Technology Company.
If Luke was lying, it would definitely be for their own good, and there was no point in pursuing the matter.
If the share contract was real, there wouldn't be any reason to pursue it.
Catherine was wise enough to care for her family properly.
After a five-day break, Luke and the other two returned to New York.
This time, the atmosphere on the plane was a lot better.
On the way, a certain dog head's butt wasn't kicked at all, and it safely arrived in New York as it watched the show.
Before they got off the plane, Jenny gave Luke a parting kiss and said goodbye to Selina before she left in her car.
Selina watched her car drive away suspiciously. "Why do I feel like her attitude toward me is a lot better?"
Luke thought for a moment. "Maybe it's because you're better than her."
Selina snorted. "Is it a competition of beating people up? There are a lot of people who are better than her. "
Luke shook his head. "No, I'm more broad-minded than she is."
Selina subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her chest, deep in thought. "Well, she does know her limits."
Gold Nugget silently turned its head away. Don't you know what the Great Demon King is talking about?
…
After his rare vacation, Luke was finally back to work.
The person he was working with wasn't a detective. It wasn't difficult, and he couldn't work too hard.
What he was concerned about was the clues given by the two new prisoners in Space No. 2.
Not long after they were thrown into the Spatial Prison, Claudia and Haji were restored to their normal state.
What appeared in front of them was a completely isolated solitary cell.
Two separate rooms completely isolated them from each other. There was no problem for them to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep, but there was nothing extra.
Only every night, Luke would make them "look at each other" for five minutes, but they couldn't hear each other.
The two of them didn't know any sign language, nor did they have any tools for them to write and communicate.
This five-minute meeting was like giving someone a glass of water every day in the desert; it was just enough to keep them from dying of thirst.
In less than ten days, Haji's mental defenses had collapsed.
This time, Luke didn't specifically use any superpowers. He simply used normal psychology and hypnosis to target Haji's psychological loophole.
The man who loved Claudia deeply soon fell to his knees.
However, Luke didn't sympathize with them.
If they could indiscriminately kill the innocent and sell illegal drugs to poison tens of thousands of people for the sake of love, didn't that mean the innocent deserved to suffer?
Haji, who didn't have much mental endurance, quickly began to spill the information.
As a reward, Luke gave them ten minutes to talk every day, but they could only talk and couldn't touch each other.
However, Haji kept some of the information to himself, and Luke restored the treatment.
A few days later, Haji couldn't stand the loneliness anymore, and couldn't stand the five minutes they couldn't talk to each other every day.
He no longer resisted stubbornly and happily confessed everything he knew.
From then on, Claudia and Haji's ten-minute meeting time every day never changed.
Even at that moment, Claudia still hadn't given up.
Even though she knew that Haji had confessed everything, she had no intention of speaking.
Luke didn't intend to get rid of her when she was no longer of use.
Haji, who couldn't provide information, could still be a tool to crush Claudia's resistance.
In any case, Luke was in no hurry.
Besides, Haji had already confessed a lot of information, which was enough for Luke to investigate for a while.
What he was best at was following the clues. If he followed Haji's information, what Claudia knew might not be very important.
Whether she liked it or not, she was going to jail for sure.
Luke didn't have high expectations for a life sentence prisoner. He would just let them enjoy themselves like Erica.
According to Haji's confession, they weren't from any official department. At the very least, Claudia didn't say that she belonged to any official department.
He followed Claudia not because of anyone's arrangement, but because he was her … Tengu.
Claudia was in charge of the drug trafficking, but from some clues, Haji speculated that she had contacts in the American government.
After taking control of Carter, this woman sold a lot of illegal drugs all over the world, especially to America, and barely suffered any losses.
Batman's appearance didn't affect her business either. Instead, the price of her goods rose, and she made more money.
Thus, Claudia had a very powerful channel to ensure that the illegal drugs she sent into America wouldn't run into trouble during transportation.
In Europe, there had been a few problems with her goods.
Although it was quickly resolved, it clearly wasn't as smooth as it was in America.
Although Haji did not have a substantial position, Claudia still gave him a lot of trust after he persevered in adding, ah no, following her.
In the last year, in particular, he had come into contact with some "online" situations.
For example, he had intentionally or unintentionally noted down certain contact locations and people, as well as information about certain distributors.
These clues were enough for Luke.
Someone who could help Claudia import twenty tons of goods into America in a year was definitely a target worth at least a hundred thousand dollars, and was worth his time.
After a comprehensive analysis, the level-two clone arrived in Baltimore.
Looking southwest in the night, Luke mumbled thoughtfully, "What a good place. It's so close."
