This Wever Community Haunted House was one of the few cases that Luke hadn't been able to figure out.
This was a good opportunity to get rid of it in passing. Not only did it clear his mind, but it also gave Old Mo a small advantage. So, he left with the female doctor in a good mood.
As for Old Mo's revenge, Luke wasn't worried.
The fact that this old scoundrel hadn't retaliated immediately proved that he hadn't crossed the line this time, and that the other party didn't have the courage to flip the table.
If he didn't flip the table right away, his determination to flip the table later would plummet exponentially.
As the saying went, if you endure it for a while, you'll get used to it a few times.
Old Mo wasn't a newbie, and should understand this logic.
After a good start with the female doctor, Luke turned some of his attention to Eddie.
Compared with the female doctor, this righteous paparazzi was much better off. At the very least, Venom used to be the "second best in the world," and he was a dog head's brother.
A low starting point meant a low psychological expectation.
As an "outstanding Russel" among the symbiotic bodies, Venom was definitely much easier to fool than Excruciating Pain.
With Luke's support, Eddie's "conditions" were very generous: fresh organs, eyes, and brains to eat every day, of course, not from humans.
Tricking Venom was training Eddie. Luke simply gave the golden paparazzi the private contact information of several top meat suppliers.
As long as he had money, Eddie wouldn't even have to wait to be slaughtered and eaten in a slaughterhouse, let alone some organs that weren't warm.
Luke directly reimbursed Eddie for this part of the expenses under the name of feeding fees, which could be considered an investment in training.
However, when Eddie said the word 'feeding fee', Venom expressed great dissatisfaction.
Eddie had no choice but to add one cow brain or two pig brains a day in exchange for Venom's forgiveness.
The dog head, who had been reading intelligence on Venom when he had nothing better to do recently, rolled on the ground with laughter as he continued to mock his fellow sufferers for being uncultured.
Eddie's addition went smoothly, but Luke wasn't too satisfied with what happened next.
The golden paparazzi didn't do anything else apart from handing over more than thirty pieces of blackmail material in one go.
After receiving tens of thousands of dollars in intelligence fees, this guy immediately ran off to pursue his ex-girlfriend, Annie, and wanted to get back together with her.
Luke wasn't an unreasonable person. He never interfered in the personal relationships of the Bat Squad, and even encouraged them.
As long as he did a good background check and didn't get cheated by some scumbag, everything would be fine.
Eddy could not be blamed for chasing after his girlfriend again, but he had been so focused on this that he had angered his direct superior, Chief Sai.
This was the first Reserve Hero she had recruited.
What's the point of spending all day on GSQ instead of thinking about serving justice!
Chief Sai tried to ask Luke what they should do about this matter and got an answer that was very much in line with his wishes. "PDD has a temporary worker system, and there's even a Justice and Order Alliance on top of it. We have to screen people multiple times to get rid of those who don't share our ideals."
Chief Sai was stunned. "I thought that people like Eddie were considered as your 'reservation'."
Luke took a sip of green tea and shook his head, denying the director's naive thoughts. "Have you ever received a fake text message that only an idiot would believe?"
Chief Sai nodded, he didn't think of the connection.
Luke picked up the barbecued pork bun on the plate next to him. "Actually, it's the same principle as our elimination method."
Selina's eyes widened. "What?"
She didn't understand how PDD, which she managed, had anything to do with fraud.
Luke stuffed the barbecued pork bun into his mouth and chewed as he said vaguely, "That's because they're using a certain standard to get rid of 'customers' who don't meet the standard. For scammers, they need to get rid of those who aren't stupid, and the rest are naturally idiots who are willing to give them money. "
After a pause, he swallowed the barbecued pork bun and said, "On the other hand, PDD will get rid of people who only want to earn money and enjoy life. They'll only be temporary workers forever. We pay them to do things, so it has nothing to do with us if they're unlucky. After all, we're paying them. "
After taking another sip of tea, he continued, "The Justice and Order Alliance, on the other hand, wants to get rid of most people. Some of them might be good, some might be strong, and some might have special abilities, but each of them has their own reasons for not being a superhero. It's safer to make them PDD's official employees and keep a certain distance from them. "
Selina took the opportunity to stuff two shumai into her mouth as she listened to his explanation and asked in confusion, "But Eddie already knows that you and I hired him, right?"
The Dark Knight was still fighting Joker in the research building. Eddie wasn't stupid; he knew that he was very special.
Luke chuckled. "That's because Venom is a target that's being monitored. If we don't use some force to deter him, what if this guy thinks about eating people's brains, eyes, and pancreas every day? Now, even if Venom knows that we're monitoring his every move, he won't be unhappy, because we're already paying him. "
Selina's eyes widened. "The two of them are only paid two to three hundred thousand a year, right? Just like that … he accepted it?"
With a subtle expression, Luke glanced at a certain dog head who was leisurely enjoying the snacks next to her leg but whose ears were pricked up. He said indifferently, "He's just a temporary worker who just joined. If he wants a raise, he has to work hard. Other people can only get high bonuses when they go on combat missions. What right does he have to get millions of dollars for nothing? "
If he really did that, wouldn't the dog head next to him immediately explode? It had worked hard to get its current treatment.
The members of Bat Squad were treated well because they had followed Luke on missions time and time again.
Everyone had worked hard even if they didn't make any contributions, and they would be tired even if they didn't work hard.
In comparison, the dog head hadn't fought as many battles as the others, but was paid many times more than them. Naturally, it wouldn't be unhappy.
That was because it knew that it had benefited a lot from following Selina.
But Eddie and Venom were still "temporary workers." How could it not be angry if their treatment was dozens of times higher than the dog head's when it "went to work?"
Its "competition" with Venom had always been fierce, and it definitely didn't want to lose out.
Given Luke's protective personality, he wouldn't let Venom ride on the dog head.
Half of what he had said just now was for the dog head to hear.
This guy wasn't human, and it didn't have a brain.
If he didn't say it bluntly, it definitely wouldn't have thought of this.
Sure enough, the dog head ate the snacks a lot faster after he said that, and it even subconsciously shook its head and wagged its tail, as if it were a humble servant.
Selina rolled her eyes. This guy was getting better and better at bluffing the dog head. He didn't increase the money or the treatment, and directly used the "competitive spirit" to settle it.
No wonder he had asked her to directly recruit Eddie.
In fact, the recruitment of PDD's temporary workers and official members was theoretically supposed to be done using other identities.
The identity of "Director Black Cat" was only known to superheroes who joined the Righteous Alliance.
In a sense, Eddie and Venom had indeed been specially recruited, and were "tools" for Gold Nugget to "reference."
