If there were no accidents, it might take Luke three to five years to reach level 28.
But as long as there was a major event during this period, he might be able to level up by half a level at a time.
Think about it, Luke was almost forty years old, and he still didn't have a system or superpowers. He had only been anxious for two years!
There was no need for Luke, who was only twenty-two years old.
The second important gain was Dr. Maya Hansen.
Generally speaking, Luke wouldn't use too much control on neutral targets unless there were special circumstances.
But as the creator of the super boss Killian, Dr. Hansen fully met the conditions for him to use his abilities.
Anyone with a little ambition wouldn't let go of Dr. Hansen's Extremis technology.
Luke had never thought of using Extremis on his own people.
Those Extremis soldiers who self-destructed, as well as the boss Killian's "charcoal" state, showed that there was definitely a big problem with this thing.
Based on Luke's intuition, Killian seemed to have been "drained" of everything in the end before he turned into charcoal.
This way, it made sense that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage in a one-on-two fight in a short period of time.
As the saying went, there was no free lunch in the world.
Green Fatty had such terrifying combat power, but there were also various after-effects that were difficult to solve.
Now that there was an Extremis that could breathe fire, fly, and even be cut into pieces to be reborn, it naturally had to pay a huge price to obtain superpowers.
However, for people without superpowers and items like Life One, it was worthwhile to use Extremis to save their lives in a life crisis.
With the help of inhibitors afterward, the chances of self-destructing weren't high, and they also had superpowers, which was much better than dying directly.
Secondly, this technology could increase the number of test subjects to make up for the success rate.
It was easy for the Bat Squad to deal with the Extremis soldiers, but that was because they relied on their money and technology to crush the other party, purely taking advantage of the other party's lack of money and equipment.
If it was the Desperate Plan, with a dozen guys like Killian, the deterrent would be no less than that of the Bat Squad.
Therefore, after considering all aspects, Luke had to use the three-piece set of pheromones, hypnosis, and hallucinations to ensure that Dr. Hansen didn't work for others and didn't leak any Extremis technology.
This was already the best result.
At least Luke had these things to ensure the safety of the technology, and Dr. Hansen could still live a normal life.
If she fell into someone else's hands, she would have to work for the rest of her life under round-the-clock surveillance and in a fully enclosed environment.
In fact, that was pretty much how Killian treated Dr. Hanssen.
When she came out to look for Tony this time, she also had the subconscious intention of "changing employers".
This time, Killian, who was busy with many things, was a little short on manpower. He was also looking forward to his revenge and the beautiful future of power, so he accidentally relaxed his surveillance, allowing Dr. Hansen, who had always been doing research, to find a chance to escape.
So Dr. Hansen was a hot potato.
The technology she researched was too sensitive, and her identity was also too sensitive. She could only enjoy the treatment of a separate research institute.
Luke wouldn't let her get in touch with Bat Squad. He would just let her be a quiet single mother who did research.
…
Two days later, Selina returned to New York with Gold Nugget.
Luke had already shown her the unscathed Knight in the video, but when the team members said that the Knight was physically disabled, she was still worried, and couldn't help but rush back.
After confirming with her own eyes that it wasn't Luke who was missing an arm or a leg, she was relieved. She couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you call me? Florida isn't that far from Texas. "
Luke was amused. "Killian can breathe fire and can even melt armor in an instant. It'd be dangerous if you went!"
Selina was lost for words.
The dog head shivered and mumbled to itself, Sis, don't bring me along if you want to die. High-temperature flames are my bane.
After saying that, Luke immediately changed the topic. "How's your sister? Is she pretty?"
Selina frowned. "I think Leona's a little ugly. She's much better when I came back, but she's still a little short of the average beauty of my family."
Luke laughed. "That's how newborn babies are. She'll definitely be prettier in a month or two. "
Selina accepted this deduction. After all, little Cindy hadn't been as cute as she was now.
After talking about her family for a while, Luke finally talked about her future work arrangements.
Selina was stunned. "Wait, I'm going to be the director of PDD and the secretary general of the Righteous Alliance, in charge of their daily affairs. Then … what are you going to do?"
Luke said seriously, "I'm a scientist. If I don't get more equipment, what are you going to wear? "
Selina still felt that something wasn't right. "What about our detective agency?"
Luke blinked. "Just run it like that. It's not my fault if there's no business."
Selina said, "… You're doing this on purpose, right? We've been out for almost a year. Even if there were any customers, they'd all run away. "
Luke chuckled and put his arm around her shoulder as if they were good brothers. "Aren't you afraid that you'll get tired?"
"Get lost!" No matter how stupid Selina was, she knew that Luke simply didn't want to do daily work, just like how he never wrote reports in the police department.
But after enjoying a long-awaited barbecue and a night of beer, the director and the secretary general took office the next day.
The truth was that the Righteous Alliance was now half an empty shell.
The half that wasn't empty was the Bat Squad. With Frank around, she didn't need to manage it for now.
PDD, on the other hand, had a lot of temporary workers, but they were just temporary workers.
What were temporary workers? Usually, they would pay for the services and bear the consequences if something happened.
From the beginning, Luke had never planned to turn PDD into a behemoth like S.H.I.E.L.D. There were too many loopholes and too many things to worry about.
So, these "temporary workers" were independent organizations in the first place, and Luke was nothing more than their financier.
He just had to check on the important leaders of these organizations regularly to ensure that they didn't betray him.
Besides, as the big boss who paid them, he had the right to have these people fly in batches to report to him.
Thus, his clone would spend an hour or two every week to check on some people, and these temporary workers wouldn't cause any major problems.
What Selina really needed to manage were the individuals with superpowers.
For example, Deadpool Wade, Shadowless Richard, the Superpower Sisters, Skye, Emma and her son, the new teenage mother Lorna and her husband Marcus, Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze, the previous Ghost Rider Carter Slade, Nikki and Monica who had just graduated from high school, Jessica Jones and her godsister Trish, Blade Warrior, and so on.
The new director looked at the long list of names in the basement of the research institute. Even though she had been prepared for Luke's penchant for hiding something, she was still shocked. "You actually secretly gathered so many superpowers?"
It wasn't that easy! Luke sighed helplessly in his heart and explained, "Most of them are a little problematic. They can only be said to be on friendly terms with us, but they can't be compared to the people in the squad in terms of trust."
Looking at Deadpool Wade, who was at the top of the list, Director Sai couldn't help but nod when she thought about his psychopathic behavior and words.
That was just the most stubborn problem. After all, there was no cure for brain damage.
