System: You've killed Christophe. You may learn some of his abilities.
Christophe's abilities: Basic Combat, Basic Firearms … Elementary Electromagnetic Control (gene mutation, unavailable)
Christophe was an extraordinary human being, and the first one Luke had ever met who was an electromagnetic type.
Not only could this bigshot launch electric arcs, but he was also extremely fast, far exceeding the limits of a normal human being. He could already dodge bullets at close range.
That should've been a pleasant surprise.
However, the Elementary Electromagnetic Control ability was written in black and could not be learned.
This meant that, like Jason's and Freddy's abilities, Luke didn't have what it took to learn it.
He had predicted this a long time ago.
Today, one of his speculations was finally confirmed.
The super learning module provided by Daddy System couldn't teach him every ability.
It wasn't just the abilities of insects like spiders or non-human beings like Jason and Freddy; he couldn't even learn Christophe's human ability.
He had speculated on many possibilities, and one that wasn't too good had become reality.
He was a little depressed, but he wasn't too disappointed.
From the day the system was officially activated, he hadn't thought that Daddy System could solve everything.
If it really could solve everything, wouldn't it be simpler to turn him into an omnipotent superman?
Daddy System's behavior had its own internal logic.
What it gave him wasn't created out of nothing; the core idea was equivalent exchange.
Thinking of this, he looked at the previous system prompt and sighed.
System: You've killed the Hedgehog Brothers. You may learn all their abilities.
The Hedgehog Brothers' abilities: Basic Combat … Enhanced Cuticle (gene mutation, prerequisite: 20 Strength, irreversible, 20000 credit points), Cuticle Flying (gene mutation, prerequisite: 20 Strength, Enhanced Cuticle, 10000 credit points)
He was eligible to learn these two abilities from the Hedgehog Brothers.
But after seeing the irreversible description, he decisively gave up on them after a simple analysis.
If he learned this ability, he would have reptilian skin like the Hedgehog Brothers. That was why they had such astonishing defense, but were so ugly that they didn't look human.
If he learned this ability, he might as well wear an extra bulletproof vest.
This side effect was even more unacceptable than going bald. At the very least, there were plenty of handsome bald bigshots, but he had never seen a handsome lizard bigshot.
Moreover, at this moment, he had a warm and fragrant body in his arms. It would be too hypocritical of him to say that he wasn't satisfied.
Once he learned the ability of the Hedgehog Brothers and became like that, Vanessa's thought when she saw him would probably be the same as in his previous life — "Great kindness can only be repaid in the afterlife."
Therefore, he gave up this ability without hesitation.
However, some things could be given up, but some things could not be let go.
A cold light flashed in Luke's eyes.
Originally, he had been rather restrained when he was farming points in Rio, and he only targeted two kinds of gangs at most.
One was a human trafficking gang that trafficked human beings and organs, and the other was a violent gang that killed a lot of people.
Illegal drug trafficking was common and open in Rio, so he basically didn't do much about it.
If all the drug peddlers were to be wiped out, tens of thousands of people would probably die there. The commotion would be too great.
Secondly, although the people in the underground car market were also involved in illegal activities, they were not included in the purge plan.
Even in Los Angeles, he had never cleaned up any gangs of thieves or car smugglers.
But Guaradino's behavior today made him make a decision.
Luke wasn't afraid that some people in Rio would learn his identity.
The DEA and the CIA probably already knew that he had rescued Lisa Morales from Christophe's gang.
Saving Hobbs's FBI team was also a meritorious deed, so it didn't matter even if other people found out.
But what about Vanessa?
If someone related to Guaradino leaked some "suspicious" information to the remaining forces of Christophe and Hernan, would those people be so kind as to let her go?
It wasn't because Vanessa was very important to him, but because Luke didn't want other people to be involved in his business, let alone a woman who was close to him.
Thus, anyone related to Guaradino's gang, as long as they were involved in crime, had to die.
In the next few days, Luke and Vanessa changed the way they traveled.
They rented a yacht with cash and used it to travel to various places in Rio.
At night, they stayed on the yacht.
That was what Luke had thought of from Haley Cohen.
A mobile residence was convenient and safe in a city like Rio that was surrounded by the sea.
Sure enough, nobody came looking for them after that.
They had fewer places and less time to play. Most of the time, Luke and Vanessa sunbathed, fished, or swam on the yacht.
In his spare time, he asked Vanessa about her experiences growing up in Rio. It was a simple story, and she had nothing to hide.
Vanessa's full name was Vanessa Giselle Bugara, so some of her old friends called her Giselle.
After her parents died of illnesses in the early years, the only people who were close to Vanessa in Brazil were the three long-legged women who worked with her in New York.
She had met Dominic and his gang when they were involved in a drug trafficking case in Mexico, and she trusted Dominic.
Her three true best friends and business partners had recently gone to Europe. It was said that they had caught the eye of a certain designer and turned into fashion models.
Vanessa said that after Luke left on vacation, she would fly to Europe and buy a few clothes for her three best friends to wear on the runway.
Luke could only admire this heart-wrenching move.
He wasn't interested in whether or not those women would fall out with him because of this.
That night, Luke swam to the yacht and heaved a long sigh of relief with a relaxed expression on his face.
Vanessa's voice rang out from the cabin. "What are you doing?"
Shaking off the water on him, Luke walked into the cabin and said with a smile, "I couldn't sleep, so I went for a night swim."
Vanessa was currently reclining on the large bed. Her two shockingly long, tanned legs could kill anyone. Her unique electrifying eyes swept over him, and she asked with a faint smile, "So, you swam for an hour and twenty minutes?"
She played with a card in her hand, on which was Luke's message: "I went for a night swim."
Luke shrugged. "I'm very strong."
Vanessa said with a "who are you kidding?" expression on her face, "So strong that you swam for an hour in the middle of the night?"
Luke chuckled and picked her up from the bed. "Do you have any doubts about my stamina?"
Vanessa glared at him in disdain. "Hey, you're covered in seawater, aren't you?"
