A few minutes later, a middle-aged man behind Takagi coughed.
Takagi then took his leave. It was clear that it was almost time for his appointment with the big client.
Luke tactfully said goodbye and watched the old man leave.
After Takagi's car drove away, Luke returned with a bitter smile. "Everything about this guy is great, except that he's too polite."
Selina patted her chest. "It's a good thing that I didn't save him, or his back would've broken."
Luke couldn't agree more.
After this small encounter, the two people and the dog were not disturbed again, and they finished their lunch quietly.
When Luke drove home in the afternoon, he analyzed the situation with Selina in the car. "The industrial park is too big, and it's not in our jurisdiction. Stark Industries' security is very tight. We can't use the surveillance cameras in the car to aim at sensitive locations inside the industrial park, or set up surveillance cameras in the surroundings, or use drones. We can only rely on ourselves. "
Selina felt helpless too.
If it were any other company, they could've easily set up surveillance cameras in a few key areas with drones, and they wouldn't have to wander around at all.
Selina could only say, "Let Gold Nugget help. It's much better than a police dog."
Gold Nugget barked unhappily, but didn't know what to object to.
It was indeed better than a police dog, but that didn't sound right.
Luke nodded. "Sort of. If we need to split up, you can take Gold Nugget with you. But you have to remember the safety rules. "
Gold Nugget barked again to show that it had already remembered.
Luke comforted it with a smile. "How to protect Selina without exposing yourself is a long-term project. It's not that I don't trust you, but we can't skip the necessary reminders. "
Seeing that Gold Nugget didn't say anything, Luke comforted it again. "Look, I left you five of the top burgers I bought at noon. They cost fifty dollars each. Do you know who they're for? Tony Stark, one of the richest people in the world. "
There was curiosity in Gold Nugget's beady eyes.
Luke knew that the guy had recently been interested in "money." He explained, "For example, the house we're living in right now. He can buy a hundred of them with the money he earns in a day."
Selina was stunned. "A hundred?" Luke's villa was worth a million dollars. A hundred would be a hundred million!
She had never thought about the concept of earning 100 million a day.
Luke shrugged. "That's my guess. You can't trust the public reports on how much Stark Industries earns in a year. Anyway, the money he makes in a day is enough for us to eat top-notch hamburgers for the rest of our lives. "
Gold Nugget's eyes seemed to flash with golden $symbols.
Looking at its expression, Luke coughed and said, "Of course, Stark Industries is mainly engaged in the development of firearms. Generally speaking, this kind of company is more crude. They don't mind using research methods like slicing and peeling. "
Gold Nugget shuddered and immediately woke up from the temptation of money.
Even if you have money, you still need to be alive to buy delicious food. A voice muttered in its heart.
What if the Great Demon King is trying to scare you? Another voice immediately retorted.
Don't forget about the things in Selina's memories. If the secret agencies catch us, they will definitely turn us over and over again to study us. The first voice immediately retorted.
Alright, the humans in this world are really cruel. I'll just stay by Selina's side peacefully! I'll wait until I know more about the situation. The other voice immediately gave in.
During the symbiotic process, Gold Nugget had learned a lot of general knowledge from Selina's consciousness.
In Selina's mind, the military and certain research institutes of the US government were hellish existences. Although this influence basically came from movies and television, Gold Nugget firmly believed it.
That was because Selina herself believed the same thing.
The day before the exhibition opened, everything was peaceful.
Luke and Selina were a little more familiar with the environment of Stark Industrial Park, but there was nothing for them to do.
On the day of the exhibition, they arrived near the venue on time, and saw a large number of cars and people pouring into the park.
More than a hundred officers from the eastside police department were transferred over to help maintain order at the scene.
But the scene was still chaotic.
It wasn't a problem with Stark Industries, but with the weapons enthusiasts who had come to visit.
Some of them were alone, while others were in groups of three to five. They were a disorganized, undisciplined, and aimless crowd.
When they got close, they took pictures, laughed, argued, and fought everywhere.
Although the troublemakers were a tiny minority in the crowd, more than ten thousand people were present, and the hundred or so eastside officers were still exhausted from running around.
At that moment, it was time for reinforcements from the other police departments to step in.
The troublemakers and those who refused to listen were all stuffed into the eastside police department's patrol cars and taken to the temporary detention center.
If they calmed down, they would be released tonight.
If they didn't calm down, they would be detained for twenty-four or even forty-eight hours.
If they still didn't accept it, they could pick a fight. As long as there was some evidence, no matter how small it was, they would file a case and lock them up until they went to court.
That way, they would miss the entire week of the exhibition.
With such high-pressure measures, the order at the scene was a little chaotic, but it was still within acceptable limits.
In the morning, Luke and Selina threw more than a dozen people who were too restless into the patrol cars and sent them to the eastside police department.
They were rather lazy, and didn't make a move unless they caused a huge ruckus. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have time to drink water or go to the bathroom.
It wasn't until half past twelve that Luke finally sat down in the square and ate the top-tier burgers that Selina had bought in advance.
Thankfully, he had asked Selina to buy the burgers and other food at ten o 'clock and bring them back in an insulated box.
According to Selina, the fast food restaurant was already full when she arrived, and regular burgers couldn't be made as fast as they were sold.
Only when the top-tier burgers were made by a single person would she be able to get the burgers out in ten minutes.
As the two of them chatted idly, they took the opportunity to look at the sea of people around them.
The square, which had been empty two days ago, was now packed with people who were either lying or sitting, making it look like a refugee camp.
It wasn't easy for Luke and Selina to find a small patch of shade. They could only spread out mats on the ground and sit down.
Many people were even resting and eating under the hot sun.
Luke vaguely felt like he had visited some popular tourist attractions during the holidays in China in his previous life.
Suddenly, he saw a bus stop in front of the main building in the park, and a lot of people in uniform got off the bus, who looked like office workers.
Luke noticed that there was a company name on the bus: Weyland Corporation.
He knew this company. It was a high-tech company that specialized in communications and robotics, and was a friendly partner of Stark Industries.
