Luke extended his hand, and the bald man grabbed it and gave him a bear hug. He patted Luke's back with his other hand. "Thank you."
It was a meaningful thank you.
Luke said with a smile, "You're welcome."
Looking at him for a moment, Dominic waved his hand. "Let's go find a car first. Vanessa, you're free to go. "
With that, the bald man left with everybody else.
Of all the people behind him, Han was the only one who was more restrained. He had already seen Luke the previous afternoon, and could barely hold back his curiosity.
As they walked, the rest of them turned their heads and scanned the "Skywalker" up and down.
After all, he was probably the only person in this city who could charge over and slap Hernan in the face.
But when they looked at Luke, their biggest impression was that he was young, and then that he was very gentle.
It was completely different from the burly and ferocious-looking figure they had imagined.
What they didn't know was that Luke had put on makeup, and his current face was only twenty to thirty percent different from his real face.
If Luke hadn't reminded Vanessa when he saved her yesterday, she wouldn't have remembered him at all.
And that was only because Luke's face was young enough, and he had left a deep impression on her.
Luke didn't care that they were sizing him up.
He wouldn't be able to meet them again after this incident.
After watching them leave, he looked at Vanessa with a smile. "I still need to buy a car first."
Vanessa took out her phone. "Model number, or requirements."
Luke said, "Low-key, sturdy, powerful, and bulletproof."
Vanessa raised an eyebrow and glared at him again, as if to say, "Stop pretending."
This kind of demand, like the previous Hummer, was completely aimed at doing "big" things.
After sending the message, Vanessa gestured at Luke with her chin. "Hide somewhere. Although Guadagno and Hernan don't get along, it's not impossible that he won't sell you out for money. "
Luke shrugged and took out a black plastic bag from his backpack. He stuffed it into her hand and hid to one side.
Very soon, the short man drove over in a car.
Luke glanced at the data that Vanessa had sent him after the inspection, and replied with an affirmative reply.
Vanessa pulled out a few stacks of money from the black plastic bag and stuffed them between her thighs. She waved her hand and told the short man to get lost.
The little man was used to such treatment. He shrugged and turned to leave.
Vanessa stopped the car next to Luke and opened the passenger door.
Luke sat down.
Amidst the roar of the engine, the newly obtained car accelerated rapidly, sweeping across the seaside road like the wind and speeding away.
Sensing the wind outside the window, Luke had to raise his voice. "Where are you going?"
The electric eyes glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile, and then quickly looked away. "Where do you want to go?"
Her voice, however, wasn't loud, and Luke could only barely hear her.
Looking at the speed of more than 120 kilometers per hour on the dashboard, he felt that it was better not to court death. "By the sea?"
As expected, his words received a pair of electrifying eyes.
After galloping for more than ten minutes, the two finally stopped beside a beach.
The scenery here wasn't great, and there was no beach down below, so there were few lights and barely any pedestrians.
After stopping the car and turning off the engine, Vanessa unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned against the hood of the car.
Luke got out too and leaned against her. "Well, the scenery here isn't bad."
Vanessa burst out laughing. "This place has been rated the worst in Rio for years. There aren't even any lights here. What kind of scenery are you looking at?"
Luke shrugged. "It depends on who you're looking at. If Dominic were to accompany me to Ipanema Beach, the scenery would definitely be mediocre. "
Vanessa sighed and held his hand. They walked for more than ten meters, opened a small door, and walked in.
Turning on the lights in the room, Luke observed the place and asked curiously, "Is this … a dorm?"
Vanessa nodded and led him into the room. She pointed at the couch and said, "Make yourself at home."
She then opened the fridge and said, "There's only mineral water. Do you want some?"
Pondering for a moment, Luke said, "I have juice in my bag. Do you want some?"
With a swoosh, a cold bottle of water flew over. "Why do you have so much to say?"
Luke caught the bottle of water and said with a smile, "Because I'm very polite."
Vanessa had a bottle of mineral water in her hand. She took two sips and walked over to him. She looked down at him. "If you're polite, you should take the initiative instead of letting me take the initiative. Do you understand?"
Luke: "Huh? You … "
Outside the window, the waves were soundless.
…
When the sky was starting to light up, Luke woke Vanessa up. "Time to get up."
Vanessa grunted. "Don't mess around. Let me … let me sleep a little longer."
Luke chuckled. "Go to bed early and get up early. You can still take a shower before I take you back."
Vanessa had already reached behind him and grabbed him. "You … It's only six o 'clock. You're overthinking. How long before you take me back?"
Luke tilted his head and thought for a moment. "An hour. That should be enough."
The hands on his back pinched even harder. "You beep beep beep beep …"
Actually, Luke wasn't that crazy.
Dominic and Selina had a big operation today, so they had gone to bed early last night. Vanessa had slept for almost eight hours.
They had only talked for half an hour in the morning. The extra time was enough for them to take a shower and get dressed.
Luke came out later. Looking at Vanessa, who was cleaning up, he thought for a moment and said, "I have some news for you."
Vanessa looked at him with her charming electric eyes. "What news?"
Luke said, "Be careful of Hernan's trump card."
Vanessa was curious. "What trump card?"
Luke said, "I learned from a certain source that Hernan informed something called 'Hedgehog' to come back last night. It could be a person, a secret unit, or a weapon. "
Vanessa frowned. "How do you know … Forget it, pretend I didn't ask. I'll warn Dominic and Selina. "
They left, and Luke dropped her off at the abandoned factory before he left.
Looking at the car driving away, Vanessa sighed, before she suddenly smiled. "Forget it. This guy is quite self-aware. He's much better than those pestering guys."
Luke listened in on the abandoned factory for a few minutes, before he sighed and called it a day.
Dominic and Selina changed their plan again. Today was the last day they had to modify the car and rearrange the crime scene.
It was a peaceful day, but there were a lot more police officers and bandits searching the city. In the end, they found a young Caucasian man with sunglasses and swollen cheeks, causing a huge commotion in the city.
