In the next few days, Luke, Selina, and the dog leisurely toured the city, focusing on the scenery and the food.
There was never a lack of seafood in Chile.
However, the king crab feast a few days ago seemed to have satisfied the woman's craving, and her interest shifted to other types.
For example, Chile's specialty corn pie, which Selina liked very much.
Chilean roasted dumplings with beef, onions, black olives, and boiled eggs were also pretty good. They tasted different from the Argentine ones next door.
There was also a special sauce made of garlic, chili, tomatoes, salt, and lemon juice, which Luke and Selina both approved of.
At Selina's insistence, Luke found the chef from that old restaurant and obtained the recipe. He also filmed the entire process of how the chef made the sauce.
For that, he paid 100,000 dollars.
If he was willing to take the time to bargain, twenty or thirty thousand dollars would probably be enough.
If he was more frugal, he could probably get a recipe from a chef from a regular restaurant for two or three hundred dollars.
But as a man who earned hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute, Luke's leisure time was precious, and his freedom was even more important.
There was a lot of cash in the space, and it had been sitting idle for a long time. If it wasn't for the space's quality assurance, it wouldn't be a joke if it went moldy.
After all, the money the three of them had looted was basically old money.
Since money wasn't a problem, there was no need to waste time trying to save money.
Having been developing for so long, he already had the right to ignore most problems.
Small problems could be solved with money and power, and bigger problems didn't have to be as cautious as before.
Besides, the problems that Carol and Lorna had in the past basically didn't exist anymore.
For more than a year, SHIELD, the Heavenly Eye Society, and the Sentinel Special Service, which specialized in catching superhumans, had basically collapsed.
In the past six months, Luke had also killed a lot of representatives of Hydra and capital groups. America was also in chaos and constant struggle.
Now, in the land of North and South America, people with superpowers were much safer.
Some superhumans had started to move around, but they hadn't been dealt with yet, which was enough to show that the government was less intimidating toward superhumans.
This time, in a big city on the east coast of South America, Luke caught three people with superpowers who were accomplices to a villain.
Unfortunately, the thugs were basically all superhuman minions, and they were either weak or noobs.
Strength Enhancement couldn't compare to Muscle Enhancement, Muscle Control, and Physical Outburst at all. It couldn't be stacked either, so it was basically useless.
The other reason was that Luke's Elementary Precision and Elementary Quick Reflex had superb reflexes and control of his hands.
The last one was to create acid. The simplest way to attack was to spit saliva.
At the same time, this person's blood and sweat were also acidic. However, saliva and blood were extremely corrosive, while sweat was relatively weak.
Luke didn't dare learn this ability at all.
After learning it, he would have to practice the Virgin Technique for the rest of his life.
In his previous life, the older he got, the harder it was for him to find a girlfriend. In this life, it was not easy for him to make a comeback. He did not want to court death like this.
But it was a good thing that he had met someone with superpowers so quickly.
Even if most of the abilities were useless, Luke was willing to take the time to go through them one by one, in case he hit the jackpot.
With freedom of travel and power in his hands, he naturally dared to help Carlo make the decision to leave and let Lorna live her own life.
He was not a perfectionist to begin with, and he had never thought of roping in all the Supers.
No matter how powerful Lorna was, her morals and mental fortitude were lacking. It was very likely that she would become a useless teammate at some point in time.
Such people couldn't be roped into the team no matter how powerful they were. They could only be used at the right time.
For the same reason, Emma and her son were very strong, but Luke didn't pay much attention to them.
Thus, even though Lorna and Emma were talented, Luke only needed to spend some money and training them.
It didn't matter whether or not this strategy of casting a wide net succeeded.
…
Five nights later, in a small bar at the edge of San Diego, Lorna sat in a corner and drank to drown her sorrows.
The doorbell rang, and a young Hispanic man walked in.
His skin was fair, and his slightly messy beard made him look rough. His facial features could be considered handsome.
After he came in, he glanced at Lorna before he sat down next to her and put his arm around her waist. "Lorna, what's wrong? You look very unhappy. "
Lorna frowned and said in a low voice, "Marcus, don't call me that when we're outside."
Marcus didn't think much of it. "Okay, darling. Why have you been so distracted for the past two days? "
Lorna hesitated, but finally told her boyfriend. "My sister said that she's tired of this place and wants to go back to America."
Stumped for a moment, Marcus said solemnly, "You don't want to go back too, do you?"
Lorna scratched her head in annoyance. "My sister wants to go back alone."
Marcus subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as Lorna didn't go with her.
As for her sister, who barely had any presence, she was gone. It wasn't his place to care about her.
It was easy for things to go wrong when a man cared too much about his girlfriend's sister.
Thinking for a moment, he said, "She's a few years older than you and has her own life. It's normal for her to want to go out on her own. Also, you can visit each other when you're free. You don't have to worry so much. "
Lorna opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
What Marcus said actually made sense.
As long as Americans came of age, it was normal for three generations of their family to work in different places, and it was normal for them to meet each other once or twice a year.
She and Carol weren't real sisters, and it was normal for them to part ways.
But that was just common sense.
The truth was that she and Carol weren't sisters, but they were more like sisters.
After fleeing together for a year, being captured and rescued together, and living together in South America for more than a year, the experience of living together for a few years had given them a very deep relationship.
Two days ago, Carol suddenly proposed to leave on her own, which was completely out of Lorna's expectations.
Carol had been with her like a sister for so long that she rarely thought about their separation.
Only now did she realize that she had been spending a lot less time with Carol ever since she met Marcus.
Also, Carol had given Lorna the authorization to sell and transfer the coffee shop, and made it clear that all the income from the coffee shop would belong to Lorna.
This made Lorna feel that the two of them might not see each other for a very long time after Carlo left.
Lorna didn't hide the fact that she was a superhuman from Marcus.
However, she was living with Carol, which was clearly a violation of Luke's safety rules.
Feeling guilty, she naturally didn't want to talk about Carol.
Naturally, Marcus came up with a plot in his head, such as "Her sister and brother-in-law are both superhumans, and she wants to live a stable life on her own."
Time passed as Marcus and Lorna each had their own thoughts.
Suddenly, the sound of an engine drew closer and closer to the bar.
Outside the door, the sound of horns, curses, and shouts mixed together.
Bang! The door of the bar was pushed open and couldn't be closed again.
More than twenty ferocious-looking men entered in a single file. As they walked in, they sized up their surroundings.
Very soon, one of the men saw Marcus and pointed. "He's over there!"
