Watching Luke and Selina walk out of the park and into the parking lot dozens of meters away, Artemis finally relaxed.
She would never forget the little detective who had stabbed her with an electric baton.
It was from then on that the three of them … Hm, slowly got on the right track?
This thought, which was true but not what she wanted, flashed through her mind before she threw it away. She wasn't a masochist. How could she thank this "great enemy"?
She tugged at "Daisy," who was standing there stupidly. "You know them?"
Daisy came back to her senses. "That's right. They're nice people. They've helped me a lot."
Artemis opened her mouth to retort, but recalling the training manual's rule of "correctly assessing the opponent and rejecting emotional misdirection," she swallowed her words. "Well, tell me about it."
"You know them?" Stunned, Daisy looked at Artemis suspiciously.
She had recently learned basic safety rules, and being on guard against people trying to trick her was the most basic of all.
Artemis wanted to deny it, but then she remembered the training manual's rule that "the best lie is the truth." She changed her words. "They're police officers, right? I've seen them work cases before."
Hm, he was in Los Angeles a year ago, and he was working on us! She added inwardly.
Daisy looked at her face and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. She nodded and said, "I wasn't old enough to find a job, and could only be a tramp. Then I met them …"
Artemis's mouth gradually widened. "Is that guy really that good?"
Daisy frowned and glared at him. "If you doubt it, then I … won't say anything."
Artemis quickly admitted her mistake. "Don't. I'm just surprised. Do you know that there are more bad people than good people in this society?"
Although Daisy didn't go into too much detail, her description of how she had been helped out of trouble was genuine.
Artemis couldn't see anything fake about it, and couldn't help but feel a little awkward. Fine, she had actually been a "villain" before.
Of course, she wasn't done stabbing herself with an electric baton! That was what she told herself.
What was she going to do? She could think about that later. Right now, she was more interested in the little detective.
…
On the other side, Selina got into the car and asked, "Why do I remember that Skye was left alone in Nassau County for a few months? Do you have any plans?"
Luke sweated inwardly.
"Daisy" was, of course, Skye.
Daisy was her new ID after using the Nano Mask. She had randomly chosen it.
Luke couldn't be blamed for being careless. It was just that he had been too busy in the last half a month.
Skye was a homebody girl over there, playing on the computer every day, very quiet.
Now that he thought about it, he had indeed not visited her for more than twenty days.
During this period of time, her shockwave ability was gradually becoming stronger, and the damage to her arm was slowly increasing.
But with the Life Dagger to heal her wounds, and Luke had modified the "shock absorber" a few times, she was in a better situation than at the beginning.
"I'll go take a look tonight," he said.
Skye was a good candidate to train, and proper attention was necessary.
Otherwise, it would be a huge loss if he fattened her up and she was abducted by someone else.
…
That night, Luke went over and chatted with Skye for almost an hour to get a general idea of her life and studies.
She had the Nano Mask to change her appearance, and was able to go out and have dinner with prostitutes. She was clearly very comfortable.
Because she couldn't control the vibrations in her hands, she couldn't go to school for the time being. She could only study many subjects at home, including computer science.
With Luke's complete learning materials, she was making good progress.
Luke asked Little Snail to check the programs she had written, and found that they weren't bad.
Thinking for a moment, he gave her permission to enter some of the projects at New Hope Research Institute and receive development tasks for various programs.
She was paid by the piece, which was very suitable for Skye's current situation.
Luke himself had a smart program that could do this kind of work.
But he was the boss and had a lot of things to do, so he couldn't be a helper for a researcher.
For example, Bent, the master developer of non-lethal weapons, often outsourced control programs.
Skye now had the right to take on missions to make money, but how much she earned would depend on her own abilities.
Skye was very interested in this matter.
After wandering for more than a year, she had a deep impression of the importance of money.
Also, money could be repaid to the social work department.
Repaying Luke wasn't a matter of money. He didn't care about money.
Perhaps in the future, being an upright, kind, and useful person in society would be repaying him?
After settling this matter, Luke reminded her not to relax on her control of the shockwave, which would determine when she could move freely.
Skye naturally understood, and nodded vigorously.
After bidding farewell to the reluctant Skye, Luke went straight home.
At that moment, he also remembered Emma, who could control temperature.
For this young mother with two children, he was only providing for her daily necessities and taking care of her.
Just as he was thinking that, Fu sent an alert. "Master, there's an abnormal energy explosion at Ms. Emma's place that destroyed our surveillance equipment."
Stunned for a moment, Luke asked Fu to mobilize the hidden surveillance cameras around them while he put on his clone's armor and headed straight for Emma's hut not far away.
With the speed of the armor, it would take him less than five minutes to fly from west to east of Nassau County.
A moment later, he arrived at Emma's hut.
It had already become a huge burning torch, and debris was flying in all directions for more than ten meters around it, emitting sparks of fire.
Thankfully, they had considered concealment from the start. The nearest neighbors were 500 meters away, and no one would come for the time being.
Throwing out two fire extinguishers, Luke quickly put out the fire with his telekinesis. He also confirmed that Emma and her children weren't in the ruins.
He frowned.
From the surveillance footage, it was the little brother in the crib who had burst into flames, and instantly blew up the entire hut.
A fire caused by a superpower, and the culprit was a child who couldn't control his ability?
In such a situation, Emma had to avoid it as a mother.
However, the hidden surveillance cameras at the surrounding intersections didn't find any traces of the mother and children leaving.
Could Emma have flown away with her ability? It was indeed possible that she could avoid the surveillance cameras.
Luke immediately searched the air, and finally found the kid's scent.
This scent was much more obvious than the other scents.
Even in the night sky where the night wind was blowing, it left a clear trail.
Luke was certain that Emma and her children had really flown away.
It seemed that she remembered the safety regulations, and would probably contact her agent as soon as possible.
However, since he was already here, there was no need for him to wait for her to call.
Luke soon followed the trail and found a residential area five kilometers to the east.
Then, he suddenly sped up in the air and landed on a man in a leather trench coat.
