Unfortunately, the old man had a bad temper, and Robert simply pretended that he didn't hear him.
What his father and grandfather didn't know was that if Luke hadn't come back to train Cindy every now and then, Cindy would've been ten times more mischievous.
Cindy, who was born with the best "qi," was definitely a genius.
She had already become a transcendent at the age of three. If she punched one person at a time, it wouldn't be the kids who fell.
Thankfully, Luke had the Real Dream, and it wasn't hard for her to familiarize herself with her strength.
Cindy was also smart. After half a month of special training in the dream, she didn't use her qi at all.
However, the strengthening of her body couldn't be hidden. She could run for half a day without getting tired, and even dogs were scared of her.
As a reliable brother, Luke had to persuade his family to accept the fact that Cindy was stronger than they were.
Robert had thought that Luke was talking nonsense at first, but he was taken to watch Cindy's training.
When she unleashed all her qi, Cindy's little fists, which were the size of bean buns, exploded the special sandbag.
Robert swallowed hard, only to realize in despair that his precious little angel … was truly stronger than him.
Everybody had come back to celebrate Cindy's fifth birthday, and also to celebrate that the little devil was finally going to kindergarten.
Nobody was afraid that Cindy would be bullied. It was only right that they observed a moment of silence for the children in kindergarten.
A super devil was about to arrive at the kindergarten, and in the foreseeable future, she would rule the kindergarten until the moment she left.
However, those children wouldn't have to suffer for long.
With their second brother, Joseph, who had left home to study at the age of eight and had been indulging himself in pleasure ever since, Robert and Catherine were already mentally prepared.
Cindy probably wouldn't stay at home for too long either.
Going to kindergarten was just a way for her to get used to communicating with her peers. In half a year at most, she would skip grades and go to elementary school.
Compared with Joseph, who was studying at Columbia University in New York, Cindy's skipping grades was nothing.
Besides, Joseph was going to Columbia because he wanted to be Mindy's teammate. That was what Mindy said, and Joseph didn't say anything back then.
Cindy didn't have a boyfriend, and she couldn't get one even if she wanted to.
Her grandfather, father, and brother often looked at the little boys around her lovingly.
The little fellows who had such thoughts were all pulled over and waved their fists as big as sandbags as a warning.
That was how the Texan men did things.
…
During the gathering, Luke suddenly looked behind the shadow of a house in the distance.
Without telling anyone else, he grabbed two bottles of beer and a large plate of barbecued meat. He walked around the crowd and walked towards the house.
There was nobody in the shadows, but Luke sighed. "Don't you know that the security at home has been upgraded several times?"
No one responded.
He turned his head and looked in a certain direction. "Alright, I'm not asking you to go over. Since we're already here, we can at least have a chat, right? "
A moment later, a person exited invisibility and waved at him with an awkward smile. "Long time no see, Luke."
It was my dear uncle, Phil.
Luke showed her what he was holding. "Have a taste of my cooking."
Phil did not hesitate any longer and sat on the pile of hay at the side with him. He looked at the bustling crowd more than a hundred meters away and clinked bottles.
Over the past two years, Luke had become more straightforward. After a brief silence, he asked, "Why don't you go over?"
He didn't have many things to worry about now, and couldn't be bothered to pretend to be considerate.
Phil knew a little about this family.
He couldn't find out what shares Luke had, but it wasn't hard to find the shares in Stark Corporation that Catherine had.
This was the "amulet" that Luke had given his family back then, and it wasn't hidden very well.
Ordinary people couldn't find it, but Phil wasn't an ordinary person.
Luke had also specifically mentioned that he had a stake in the Titanium phone technology, such as … QQ Maps.
Many people knew that Jenny had taken the original version of this thing and looked for buyers everywhere.
It had been a joke back then for a rich young lady to sell a crappy program for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Now, it had become a classic in the American business world.
The difference was that Miss Jenny had become a sharp-eyed and ambitious queen of destiny, and the executives of big companies who had rejected her were all idiots in the supporting cast.
In Phil's opinion, it made sense that Luke had started out as a sheriff in a small town.
His nephew had the looks, the skills, and the luck.
Ever since he had saved the kidnapped Miss Jenny, the two of them had hooked up … Hm, hooked up, and used the navigation technology that Phil had developed to join that high-tech empire.
With the rapid rise of Titanium Phone Company, as long as his nephew "worked hard," the young lady's heart would soften and he would exchange his technology for more shares. It wouldn't be surprising for him to have a net worth of billions.
This wasn't Phil's wild guess. It was true that Luke's tone when he mentioned Chairman Jenny was a little too familiar.
Given Luke's current persona as a tech geek, Phil wasn't surprised that he went straight to the point.
He shook his head with a bitter smile. "I'm prone to getting into trouble. It's fine to see you in secret, but it's not safe to see them."
Luke understood this mentality very well.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have separated himself from his disguise so clearly.
Phil had worked at the old S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than ten years. Coupled with Hydra, an organization that didn't have any scruples, he really didn't have the right to take risks.
This uncle also had a female "good friend" who played the cello, who rarely went to see her.
Thinking for a moment, Luke said, "Drax, Catherine, and I all know that my parents have nothing to do with you. They actually really want you to come to the party."
After a brief silence, Phil still didn't agree to the suggestion. "I'll think about it."
Luke didn't force him.
It was still because he wasn't strong enough.
Otherwise, if he built a space base, who would be afraid of running into him?
Phil's enemies were basically Earthlings, and the aliens didn't have the time to care about a nobody like him.
After skipping this topic, Phil and Luke started chatting.
The main topic was, of course, the apple of the family's eye, the most favored child, Princess Cindy.
Claire and Joseph also mentioned a few things in passing.
Phil had been paying attention to the family, but he only knew the basics and didn't send anyone to monitor them.
He listened with relish to the details of their daily lives.
After the bottle was empty and the barbecue was finished, he stood up reluctantly. "I have something to do. I have to go."
Luke didn't ask him to stay. He simply stood up and gave him a half-hug. "When our family goes to New York or Los Angeles for a vacation, you can change your identity and hug Cindy. Is that okay?"
Phil hesitated, very tempted by the suggestion.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Who would pay attention to us if we chatted in public with that" mask "?"
