If Luke were to go to college now, he would only be 22 when he got his diploma in four years.
A twenty-two-year-old sergeant? That was a little too much.
Elsa was already 32, and had only just been promoted to sergeant.
It was also because Luke's recent achievements had been so shocking that Dustin had subconsciously overlooked it.
Rolling his eyes, Dustin suddenly smiled. "Well, we'll be buying a batch of new cars soon. Do you have any that you like?"
Luke thought for a moment and said, "I'll use whatever everybody else uses. I'll be satisfied with an assigned car."
Dustin nodded in satisfaction. The kid wasn't arrogant, and was indeed worth training.
But then he thought it was funny. The young man had just killed and injured forty criminals two days ago. It wouldn't be easy for him to become arrogant.
That was all Dustin wanted to say. He had only agreed so quickly because he didn't expect Luke to have no requests at all.
If it were anyone else, it would've been a long time before they reached a compromise.
Young people are so nice! Dustin sighed inwardly.
Seeing that Dustin didn't say anything else, Luke got up and said goodbye. "Boss, I'll be on my way."
Dustin hummed and watched him walk away before he picked up the phone on the desk. "The logistics department? What are the new cars that we're getting? "
Luke checked the time and saw that it was still early, so he simply drove home, only to find that Selina was already up and cleaning up.
Selina was surprised to see him. "So soon?"
Luke shrugged. "Maybe I saved Dustin some trouble."
After they drove out, Luke told Selina about Dustin's plan, and she burst out laughing.
She had already learned from Luke that he wouldn't consider a promotion for the next few years, especially as a sergeant who would have to take the civil service exam.
But when Luke said that he would be getting an assigned car soon, Selina was envious.
The cars here weren't bad. Also, Luke had made contributions and was protected by his superiors, so he could use the car as his own. After all, they were in plain clothes, and the car wasn't painted.
Luke, however, said with a smile, "You're in luck. My Ford isn't bad, alright? You can drive it anywhere you want."
Selina thought for a moment and agreed, and was satisfied.
When they arrived at the airport, the two of them sat together and chatted. It wasn't boring at all.
The weather was good, and the flight was not delayed. Robert and his family arrived at noon.
The meeting in the hall was very joyous.
Claire jumped up and down excitedly. Joseph looked at his sister with disdain, but he couldn't help but feel happy.
Robert and Catherine, on the other hand, greeted Selina first before exchanging greetings.
After they left the airport, Selina drove Catherine, the kids, and their luggage away, while Luke and Robert took a taxi.
In the taxi, Robert and Luke bickered nonstop. When they got out, Robert was dumbfounded when he saw the villa. "You can afford this house?"
If this house were in Shackelford, anyone with a bit of diligence would be able to afford it. After all, the land was vast and the population was sparse. If you worked hard enough, you could build one yourself.
But this was Los Angeles, on the edge of West Hollywood.
Luke laughed. "I was just lucky. It's a long story, so let's not talk about it for now. Let's go take a look at your room first. I still don't know what you need. I only moved here yesterday. "
In a daze, Robert followed Luke in. He was even more surprised when he looked around.
The villa wasn't very stylish. At the very least, Robert didn't think it was expensive.
But the appliances and items inside weren't cheap, and were at least first-rate or second-rate goods on the market.
Luke wouldn't be able to afford these appliances even if he didn't eat or drink for two years.
But since Luke had already said that he wouldn't talk about it for now, he didn't say anything else.
When he saw the big bathtub in the back, Robert was lost for words. Rich people really knew how to play. They actually built a big outdoor bathtub.
Well, in that regard, Robert and Luke were very similar. Neither of them treated it as a swimming pool.
Then, it was time to prepare lunch for everybody. Luke was already prepared for that.
The ingredients that he had packed yesterday were all there. Many of them had already been marinated and only needed to be put in the oven.
So, everybody sat in the backyard in the afternoon, enjoying the wind and eating roast meat and chicken.
Selina had already encouraged the two kids to play in the bathtub, and the three of them were laughing and fighting in the water.
If they needed anything, they would use a summoning spell and have Catherine or Luke give them food.
Of course, Luke was the one who was called the most, since he hadn't seen the two kids for a long time.
Robert watched Luke give Selina a plate of roast meat with a strange expression and asked in a low voice, "You don't care about colleagues dating here?"
Luke immediately understood what he meant. He chuckled. "Of course not. Selina is actually a bit like Claire to me. "
Robert understood. This was what it meant to be a younger sister.
While the three of them were playing, he finally asked, "What's with this house? Don't tell me you bought it. "
Luke said, "It's a private gift. Mr. Takagi, the CEO of Nakatomi Corporation, bought it. He was going to give me a million dollars, but I didn't accept it, so he gave me this instead. "
Robert and Catherine were stunned. "What?"
A million dollars was a huge sum of money for most Americans.
Luke said with a smile, "I saved his life from the robbers and helped his company recover 640 million in bearer bonds. It's not too much for him to give me this, is it?"
Robert and Catherine: … Are you f * cking kidding me?
In the end, Robert was the first to come back to himself. "What's going on? Why didn't you tell us about this before? "
They talked on the phone two or three times a week, which was why Robert found it strange.
Luke shrugged. "I wanted to give you a surprise. Also, it actually happened on Christmas Eve. "
Robert and Catherine froze again. Had this happened three days ago? No wonder he hadn't told them.
Luke didn't go into details, and simply described the general situation. He also praised Detective John for his bravery, and praised him for chasing down a dozen terrorists and so on. He gave all the praise to a certain colleague in New York.
Catherine was more or less convinced, but Robert was suspicious. It was more accurate to say that Luke had chased after a dozen terrorists.
However, Robert and Catherine were finally relieved when they heard that all the robbers had been caught and that almost 80% of them were dead or seriously injured.
The robbers were definitely doomed.
They had killed people and assaulted police officers, and were suspected of terrorist activities. While terrorist activities were only a way for them to deceive the public, what they were really doing was terrorist activities.
