What a joke! She didn't even know she was pregnant, but Luke did?
Well, wait. Her period this month … Lorna's expression changed.
Luke's lips curled into a cold and mocking smile. "With this money, your child won't have to worry about money, right?"
Lorna's heart was in a mess, but she subconsciously shook her head.
Luke chuckled. "Also, I have to remind you that you owe a lot of money, including your life."
Lorna was lost for words.
"This is just a down payment for the deal." Luke stood up and said, "If you want to work with superpowers, you'll have to accept our offer."
As he spoke, he reached out and patted her on the forehead. In fact, he was using hypnosis and pheromones to send her a phone number.
It was a necessary safety measure to ensure that she couldn't mention it to anyone else.
Lorna stared blankly at his back as he disappeared. Then, she felt someone pulling on her hand.
She turned around, only to see that it was Carol. "What?"
Carol glanced at her. "Your boyfriend is here. Don't tell him about me and Mr. Wilson."
After that, she brushed past Marcus and went back to the house on her own.
Outside the house, the young man and woman were left speechless for a long time.
…
Two nights later, Luke showed up at the coffee shop again.
Carlo, who had been waiting there for a long time, only brought a small suitcase.
Luke looked at her and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Carol nodded. "Yes, Mr. Wilson."
Luke nodded and looked at Lorna. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
After a brief hesitation, Lorna asked in a low voice, "Can I … still contact Carol?"
Luke said, "In half a year or a year, depending on how her training progresses."
Lorna breathed a sigh of relief.
Luke, however, said again, "You and your boyfriend don't need to move. This shop can continue operating."
Lorna: "Huh?"
Luke gestured for Carol to leave, before he said casually, "I've taken care of Ferdinand and his men. As long as your boyfriend stops stirring up trouble, nobody will target you again. "
Saying that, he waved his hand and led Carol down the mountain.
…
A few days after Carlo left, Lorna wasn't in a good mood, but she still paid attention to the San Diego newspapers.
In the end, there was no mention of Ferdinand. Instead, there was news of several large-scale gang fights in a few blocks.
She showed the news to Marcos, and he gave an expected answer, "Isn't this Ferdinand's territory?"
Lorna was silent, but in her heart, she thought of the Sentinel Special Service that had never appeared again.
In the past, these people would catch up to them not long after.
Since Wilson appeared, he disappeared without a trace. Could it be that he was also "dealt with" in the same way?
Thinking of that indifferent face, she exhaled. Although that poker face was a little scary, it was surprisingly reassuring when it was on her side.
As she sat on the top of the mountain, Lorna rubbed her abdomen and calmed herself down. Looks like you'll be able to grow up safely!
On the other side, Luke and Selina had already sailed north again.
After Carlo was hypnotized, he threw him into Space No.2, and a day later, the Level-2 clone in New York took him out.
That was how simple it was to sneak through space.
Luke had already sent her to Texas for comprehensive military training at Robert's private security company.
As for the combat materials, Luke could customize them for her.
He had prepared similar materials for Alice before. Both girls had self-healing abilities, and their reflexes were better than ordinary people's. Their fighting styles weren't very different.
Although Carlo didn't have iron bones or steel claws, he only needed to modify some of the materials.
After half a year or a year, Carlo would finish her training and become Catherine's personal bodyguard. She would be responsible for Joseph and Mindy's security.
Carlo remembered Luke's favor to begin with, and now that she was doing this, it would be a way of returning the favor.
Most of the time, she wouldn't have a job, and would mainly accompany the two kids when they were out.
Moreover, she was a person who had been beaten and educated by society. She would not casually come into contact with outsiders, let alone leak secrets.
As long as she wasn't an idiot, she would make a wise choice between "being studied" and "being a bodyguard."
That way, Luke could equip her with a lot of equipment, and she would be like a mini Lady of Death.
If there was an emergency, as a trained and fearless superhuman, she would be much stronger than regular bodyguards.
Carlo actually didn't have many requirements for life, and didn't care whether she stayed in Chile or America.
She had wanted to farm in Argentina, and now that she was going to Texas, which was sparsely populated, she could get what she wanted.
Luke wasn't embarrassed to help Carlo plan her future, and didn't bother her with his superpowers.
Carlo wasn't reluctant when he told her where she was going, and was even relieved.
Clearly, she had been struggling with the problems she had with Lorna recently.
Lorna, who had a boyfriend, didn't seem to need her company anymore.
Luke's arrangement gave her a goal to work toward. All she had to do now was train step by step and then go to work.
She didn't have to worry about where she was going or what she was going to do in the future, which was a good thing for Carlo, who wasn't ambitious and even a little afraid of society.
While he was thinking, Selina shouted from the top floor, "Luke, come up and help me wipe my back."
He readily accepted her advice.
When he got up, Selina was already lying comfortably on the chair, as if she were a player who had won without doing anything.
It was summer in the southern hemisphere, and Santiago had the most comfortable subtropical Mediterranean climate. Most people in the country lived here.
To the north was a tropical desert, and Chile's Atacama Desert was one of the driest places in the world.
For a woman who wanted tanned skin and wasn't afraid of the sun or heat, this was perfect.
While Luke was wiping his back, she said lazily, "Are you going to give up on Lorna just like that?"
Luke said, "What else can she do? She lacks the warmth of a family, so she values her child very much. She can't be a vigilante with her child. "
Selina naturally understood that, and changed the topic. "What about her boyfriend? Didn't you" test "him on his superpowers?"
Lorna and Carlo didn't know yet, but Selina had seen Luke call Marcus out a few nights ago and beat him up in the back of the mountain.
After the fight, a certain someone even put on an expression that said, "You're useless." He tried to bluff Marcos. "How are you going to protect Lorna with that little ability of yours? You might even be captured to threaten her. "
If Marcus' heart could be materialized, there would have been a few holes in it — it would definitely have been freshly pierced and still warm.
Luke definitely wasn't trying to take revenge.
Although Marcus had interfered halfway, Luke really just wanted to figure out what kind of abilities he had.
