Selina felt uneasy. She felt that Luke's eyes were scary when he looked at her occasionally.
It wasn't a lecherous look, because that wouldn't be scary. It was the way he seemed to be up to something, which was a sign of danger.
It had to be said that Selina was getting to know Luke better and better. She could tell from his eyes that he was up to no good.
The two of them returned to the police department and greeted Elsa before they went to report the case to Dustin.
Dustin frowned. "That Stu … is so good? You couldn't catch him? "He had never thought that Luke, the best fighter under his command, hadn't been able to catch him.
It wasn't that they hadn't discovered him, but that they hadn't caught him. There was a big difference between the two.
Considering Luke's previous accomplishments, wasn't this Stu unbelievably good?
Luke shook his head. "He's too vigilant. He ran away the moment his plan failed. We even watched his girlfriend for three days, but he never came back. "
Dustin nodded helplessly.
There was no way he could let Luke and Selina wait there indefinitely. They were the best detectives under him, and the best at solving cases. Of all the detectives under him, there was no one else who was best at fighting.
Luke thought for a moment and told Dustin about Stu's weirdness. He said, "Boss, I didn't tell the police department about it."
After thinking for a long time in surprise, Dustin patted Luke's shoulder and said, "I'll explain the situation to Deputy Director Condra. Your efforts won't go unnoticed. Do you need a break? You can come back to work tomorrow. "
Luke shook his head. "That's unnecessary. It's still early. Let's see if Elsa needs us on any cases. We'll start work in the afternoon."
Dustin nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, you can go back to work."
They left and went to Elsa's place.
Elsa pointed at a case file on her desk and said, "Martin and Roger are working on this case. It's dangerous. As usual, you can help them out for a few days, but don't bother if there's no progress. "
Luke nodded. "Then we'll be on our way?"
After a brief hesitation, Elsa asked, "About this case, will you …"
Luke shrugged. "Let's see. If the Deputy Director is a little more reasonable, we should still be able to get a favor from him. "
Elsa frowned. "What's going on?"
Luke said, "The murderer was too vigilant, and a little unusual. He disappeared after he failed, and we couldn't catch him."
Hesitating for a moment, Elsa asked, "What did Dustin say?"
"He said that it's fine, and he'll explain the situation to the deputy director," replied Luke.
Elsa heaved a sigh of relief. At the very least, Dustin dared to give such an answer because he believed that they had done a good job.
"Alright, you can do whatever you want today. We'll start investigating the case tomorrow," she said.
Luke chuckled. "Thanks, boss."
Selena said goodbye to Elsa, and the two of them left.
Elsa muttered in her heart, "If I owe the deputy director a favor, can I try to transfer another group of agents to work for me?" Even if he was a newbie, that would be fine.
She could help Luke and his team, which would make her team even stronger.
She wouldn't have taken the Woodsburg case if there were no benefits.
While Elsa was confident in Luke, he wasn't a hundred percent sure that he could solve cases.
So, it was a mixed bag for Luke, and it was the same for Elsa.
She had only taken the case because there were benefits to be had.
She would have a share of the benefits, and she would have to bear most of the responsibility since she was the instigator of the case.
It was only fair that there were losses and gains.
After they left, Luke drove straight home.
Selena was lost for words. "… What did someone just say? Is it true that we're going to investigate the case in the afternoon? "
Luke said, "Can't we study the case files at home and be prepared in advance?"
Selena said, "I think I've always been the one studying the case files, right?"
Luke said, "I'm sorry, but I have good news for you."
Selena asked, "What is it?"
Luke said, "Starting today, we're going to increase the duration of our training and the intensity of our training. This includes, but is not limited to, shooting, fighting, driving, extreme parkour, swimming, running, and so on. "
Selena was lost for words. "… Are you crazy?"
Luke said, "I'm just worried that you'll get a belly. You eat so much every day. Of course you'll be exhausted."
Selena was lost for words. "… Will you make me a feast every day?"
Luke said, "Yes!"
Selena said, "Deal."
Anything was negotiable as long as there was good food.
If someone wanted Luke to help them train, they would have to pay him five hundred to a thousand dollars an hour.
This was the man with the strongest combat power in America! That was what Selena thought.
What she didn't know was that Luke was only the strongest man among ordinary people right now, because he wasn't an ordinary person at all.
After they got home, Luke quickly made lunch, and it took them less than twenty minutes to dig in.
After that, Selena had to clean up the kitchen, including the dishes and the pots. Luke had always been in charge of cooking, and he rarely took care of the aftermath.
It was the same for him in his previous life.
He could cook, but washing the dishes was out of the question.
After that, Selena began to study the case files to aid digestion. They wouldn't start training until an hour later.
Luke, on the other hand, went to his workshop in the garage and continued modifying and building equipment for himself and Selina.
This world was too f * cking unsafe.
At five in the afternoon, Luke came out of the training room with Selena, who looked like a dead dog.
The tough girl looked as if she had nothing left to live for. "No, let me go! I can't take it anymore. "
Luke chuckled. "No, we still have to practice shooting today."
Selena said, "But I don't think I'm good enough. It's hard to improve."
"Like you said, it's hard, but it's not impossible to improve. So, don't resist. Let's go shoot handguns." Luke threw the girl into the bathroom and took a shower himself.
He was still full of stamina, and the advantage of Strength was even more obvious.
He only slept for two hours a day now, but he was still full of energy and didn't have any backache. He was completely healed by Elementary Self-Healing.
However, if he wanted to make some powerful equipment, he had to have a lot of money first.
Thinking that, he slapped his forehead and called Bobby. "Hello, it's Luke. How's the talk going? Any progress? "
After a brief silence, Bobby said, "… My appointment was turned down. Three times! So … "
Luke wasn't surprised. "So, you haven't made any progress at all?"
