Ever since the battle in New York, Damon and Mindy had used their credit points to pay off Luke's "debt," and were finally rich.
It wasn't that they had been poor before, but that every time they had to spend a large sum of money, they would be reminded of the huge debt they had.
Thus, they subconsciously tightened their grip on their wallets and didn't dare spend casually.
After the father and daughter cleared their debt, they would still have credit points to pay for equipment upgrades in the future.
After the battle in New York, Luke had also given his teammates a huge sum of money.
On the other hand, Mindy had Nikki and Monica as friends, and stopped trying to drop out of school by spending all her money.
Thus, after Mindy suggested setting up a separate training ground, Damon readily agreed.
After a field trip, the training ground was chosen in a place that didn't have good scenery.
It was the furthest corner of the neighborhood, so it was very quiet.
It was a bungalow next to a small slope. There wasn't much scenery around it, and the slope couldn't be casually landscaped.
The slightly elevated terrain hid the house in the middle, and from a distance, the roof of the bungalow couldn't be seen.
From the road they had come in from, they could only see the intersection that led into the house.
All of this was an advantage for Mindy and the others.
Indoor training wasn't very free, but they could do whatever they wanted outside.
Damon combined the so-called "landscaping" with the beauty of the garden.
From the renderings, it only added small trees and flowers. This kind of renovation wouldn't detract from the neighborhood's style, but would instead improve it.
With this renderings, Damon successfully fooled the neighborhood committee and got them to agree to this plan.
In fact, these decorations could be used as a "bungalow training map" that mimicked a real environment.
Coupled with the low trees near the intersection, it was hard for outsiders to see what was going on from the road, which made it easier for Damon and Mindy to train with Nikki and Monica.
Entering the bungalow, Luke saw that only the bathroom, bathroom, and kitchen remained in the two-hundred-square-meter area. The rest of the rooms had basically been converted into a professional training room.
While the girls changed into their training clothes, Luke went back to the car to get hot coffee and snacks.
Why was the coffee hot? How could a detective work more comfortably without heating equipment in his daily car?
After preparing the drinks and snacks, Luke waited for the monkey show to start.
That was right. In Luke's eyes, this was just a monkey show, a little trick by two naughty monkeys.
But whether it was Claire or Mindy, no matter how hard they tried, could they get out of his grasp?
Therefore, he allowed them to play as they pleased. After all, nothing would happen to them.
If they didn't take this opportunity to enjoy the fun of childhood, they might not be able to have such a state of mind when all kinds of major events occur in the future.
He took a sip of coffee and looked at Stacy. "Do you want some?"
Stacy hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm a little sensitive to caffeine. I can't sleep at night if I drink it."
Luke was amused.
Stacy's ability could be considered a system. It definitely wasn't because of the caffeine that she couldn't sleep at night, but because she really didn't need that much sleep.
The only reason she said that was because he didn't have any extra cups here, and it wasn't convenient for her to take them herself.
He pushed the box of food over. "There's no caffeine in these, but they're high in calories."
Stacy didn't refuse this time. She picked up the taiyaki stuffed with red beans and took a bite. Her eyes couldn't help but narrow in satisfaction.
Sweet food had always been the favorite of Americans.
Luke felt that a lot of Americans were fighting for dessert that could kill people.
In comparison, taiyaki had low calories.
"Aren't you going to play with them?" Luke asked casually.
Stacy paused for a moment before she said vaguely, "I don't like sports."
Luke took another sip of coffee with a smile. Not bad. She was cautious.
It was a pity that her mental fortitude was still too poor. Otherwise, even in front of her brother-in-law … Hm, that's not right, her brother-in-law, she would still have to be careful when she lied.
With your body and movements, you're saying you don't like sports? Doing this in front of a detective could only be said to be too young.
It would be more reliable to say that she was on her period. At the very least, he couldn't really fuss about this kind of physiological issue. Once time passed, there would be no evidence.
On the other hand, if he wanted to change her dislike of sports, he would have to fake a statement with Claire, which would be troublesome in the future.
No wonder Stacy's career hadn't picked up after playing minor roles in the past few months.
How could her clumsy acting and ordinary mental fortitude hold back those neurotic directors?
Lu Mou, the master of acting and a safety instructor, criticized his half-student in his heart and secretly decided to add some acting lessons to her during the monthly exam.
Stacy didn't know that Luke would deny her acting career after just a few months, and that he would give her extra training.
At that moment, she was just absent-mindedly stealing glances at her "brother-in-law."
Luke was more mature than he had been in Los Angeles a year ago.
His originally childish face … Hm, it was still rather childish. Even with the slightly old-fashioned Gucci sunglasses, it was still possible to tell that he was young.
He gave Stacy the feeling that he was even more mature.
However, since she had a little grudge against him, she immediately dismissed this thought and told herself that it was just an illusion.
This was … a very impressive detective. She couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, Stacy really didn't know what to do with Luke.
God knew why she liked Claire.
After all, she had been with the twins for so long, but she had never "liked" anyone like this.
Even with her psychology training, she couldn't help but analyze the reason.
In the end, she had to admit that maybe she only liked Claire.
While she was conflicted, someone next to her silently "peeped" at her with Mental Communication.
Usually, he wouldn't do this to his own people, but now that Claire was involved, this was the only treatment Stacy could receive.
Family was always the first priority.
For now, it seemed that there was no need for him to interfere.
It was Claire's freedom to like what she liked. Unless what she liked was extremely harmful, there was no need for him to interfere.
For example, Stacy was a cigarette at most, and wasn't as dangerous as weed or laundry detergent.
Was he going to smash the cigarette flat with one slap? It wasn't like there was only one box of "cigarettes" in this world.
At that moment, the four girls came out of the changing room that also served as a bathroom.
Claire was wearing Nikki's brand-new training clothes. The two of them were relatively similar in height and build, so it wouldn't be a problem to use them.
On the way out, Claire and Mindy's eyes met every now and then.
It was like the push and shove between primary school students, except that they used their eyes to provoke each other.
When they reached the edge of the ring, they stopped at the same time.
Mindy blinked. "Are we going to fight?"
