He chopped up the floor where Skye and the others were standing and put the pieces into his inventory.
That was because this perfectly normal floorboard was too eye-catching in this charred room.
Emma's youngest son's crib was even more eye-catching when it was intact, and was also put away.
As he cleaned up, he felt a little helpless. This rescue station was probably going to be closed down.
No matter what he said, a lot of people had seen the loud explosion and the fire just now.
No matter how much he emphasized safety later, it wouldn't change that.
Thinking that, he wasn't in a hurry anymore.
As long as no one was dead or seriously injured, it wouldn't be a big problem if there were fewer people at the rescue station.
However, he had to control the "culprit" and the course of the crime.
Luke didn't come out with Skye because he didn't want to attract attention.
There were a lot of people outside, and if he went out with them, it would be easy for people to connect the matter to the two girls.
Some people might still be suspicious if he handled it this way, but he could at least brush them off.
Selina, who was outside, quickly picked up the two adults and two children and took them to her home dozens of meters away.
Luke went out and took Peter and the two girls with him, and entrusted the matter to Director George, his uncle, and Adrian.
The three of them had a lot of subordinates here, and together, they were a strong enough deterrent and prestige that he didn't need to blindly command them.
If he wanted to pick up the children, they could come to his house to avoid worrying.
In less than ten minutes, Luke returned home.
Selina and the others were in the living room on the second floor.
Luke grabbed Little Peter, who was being passed around, and told him to play with the two big sisters and take care of the new little brother.
He then gestured for Skye and Emma, who looked uneasy, to follow him up to the third floor, while Emma's two sons stayed on the second floor for the time being.
Receiving his signal, Selina immediately called Gold Nugget over and told it to keep an eye on the unusually naughty baby.
The three-year-old brother had already run off to play with Peter and the others, and didn't remember that he had a younger brother.
Gold Nugget looked at Selina aggrievedly. "Huh?"
Selina said in a low voice, "You think he smells sh * t, but can't I smell it? He's so small, and you're short, so you can keep an eye on him. At most … you won't use your mouth? "
Gold Nugget was lost for words. You actually want me to bite that stinky little butt with my mouth?
…
On the third floor, Luke took Skye and Emma into the study before he asked what had happened.
With pheromones controlling and Skye's complete trust and assistance on his side, Emma, who was very vigilant, quickly told the truth.
But Luke's expression didn't look too good after he heard that.
Not to mention the others, just the man in the leather windbreaker and sunglasses was very hard to deal with.
This person's name was Gordon. He had the ability to teleport, and there were no obvious restrictions on his ability.
The distance could be more than a thousand kilometers, and there was no cooldown time.
Luke wasn't afraid that the guy would come looking for him. That would be suicidal.
Provoking Selina was just as bad luck. Gold Nugget was with her 24/7.
However, if the other party was determined to avoid him and specifically targeted Emma for a sneak attack, then it would be troublesome.
Gordon had come for Emma, because Emma was part of "them".
This "they" referred to themselves as the Inhumans, or more frankly, as superhumans.
The difference was that the superpowers of the Inhumans could be inherited, but they were basically recessive.
Apart from a very small number of people who would activate their superpowers in unknown situations, the rest were no different from ordinary Earthlings.
But the Inhumans had a method to ensure that the activation process was completed.
However, there might be some limitations to this method. Very few people could activate it every year, and most of the Inhumans were in a state of waiting to be activated.
Many of the Inhumans didn't know who they were, and lived among ordinary people.
Some of the Inhumans who were discovered would be taken to the Inhumans' "next life," which was described as the Inhumans' Shangri-La, where they could hide from the dangers of the outside world.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Emma was one of those extremely rare spontaneous activations, and was then taken to the next life.
At that time, her eldest son was already two years old. After falling out with her boyfriend, she had no choice but to join the next life.
But she was pregnant with a second child.
During her time in the next life, she accidentally heard that people without Inhuman blood couldn't stay in the next life. Inhumans with weak bloodlines that were difficult to activate would also be sent out to live in the next life.
Her heart was in her throat.
When her youngest son was born, she received a bad answer from the leader of the next life, Jia Ying. Her youngest son's bloodline was weak, and when he grew up, he would be sent out to return to society.
Emma couldn't accept being separated from her son, so she proposed to send her and her son out.
But Jia Ying didn't agree.
The reason was simple.
As a rare Inhuman with a self-activation ability, Emma's ability was quite powerful. The flames she breathed could turn her into a human-shaped incendiary bomb, and the kind that could explode multiple times.
After Emma and Jia Ying discussed many times, they finally reached an agreement.
Emma's youngest son could live here until he was three years old. At that time, Jia Ying would send her and her son away.
Emma wasn't so relieved after the agreement was reached.
Because when she lived in the next life, she had talked to many people, and there was no such precedent.
Those who didn't have enough "value" would be sent away.
Many Inhumans weren't alone, and their relatives weren't allowed to enter the next life either. They could only go back to meet them occasionally.
And Jia Ying was a woman of her word. Emma didn't think that this woman would change her mind.
Jia Ying just wanted to use three years to make Emma accept giving up her child.
The Inhumans weren't a society of ordinary people. Who knew if there were superhumans who could influence people's thinking?
So, Emma found an opportunity to sneak out of the next life and return to her hometown, New York, which she was most familiar with.
How did she sneak out? She rushed out like a rocket with the child in her arms.
She could do whatever she wanted because she was talented.
Luke was certain that what Emma said was true — at least, it was the truth that she knew.
In reality, whether or not Jia Ying had such thoughts, and whether or not the afterlife was like what Emma said, was another question.
But considering her talent, Luke felt that it was very likely.
She could fly with two children in her arms without being burned or frostbitten with her ability alone. That was practically cheating.
Emma had only activated her ability for less than two years, and hadn't used it for most of that time.
Apart from being talented, it was hard to explain her speed of improvement.
How could Jia Ying bear to let go of such a powerful Inhuman?
It would be very difficult for Luke to put himself in Jia Ying's position.
At most, he would use other methods to reach a consensus. After all, he wasn't an Inhuman, and didn't have Jia Ying's sense of "race protection."
After figuring that out, Luke made a decision.
Emma had to be sent away immediately to live in seclusion.
