When they arrived at the police department, Selina handed out the snacks with a big smile, while Luke checked the files on his computer.
He still had to take care of Bloodmint.
Although the other party wanted to settle this blood feud herself, he had to make sure that she didn't die.
"Business is business" could also be understood from another perspective — favors that weren't business were even more difficult to handle.
Rebecca and Luke weren't business partners. How important this favor was depended entirely on Luke himself.
In Luke's opinion, he had to be conscientious and meticulous when it came to returning the favor and earning credit points at the same time.
This was a gang that could bribe the D.A. and an experienced criminal judge. Just the thought of it excited him a little!
He couldn't let Sonia, the intelligence specialist, look into the files.
Otherwise, whoever he looked into would be in trouble, and everyone would know that there was something wrong with him.
Thankfully, Mr. Smith had taken the blame for the Elsworth incident, or Sonia would have more or less suspected him.
Now that the case was a matter for the eastside police department, it wasn't a problem for him to get involved.
He didn't directly look up the relevant cases on the police department's computer, but the overall security cases on the eastside.
He had already learned some of the real information from other sources. If he went out tonight, he would be able to lock onto Bloodmint's enemies.
Very soon, he finished the files. He even had the time to call Catherine and ask about Claire's trip to Los Angeles.
In the end, Catherine said that they would put Claire on a plane, and then they would go on a trip around the world.
Luke was dumbfounded. "A trip around the world?"
Catherine said happily, "That's right. We'll take a plane to a few places first. Then, we'll take a cruise across the Atlantic and the coast of Europe. It'll take about forty days. "
Luke was lost for words. "… You've really made up your mind."
Catherine smiled. "It just so happens that Claire wants to look for you. She's almost an adult, and we can't do everything for her. Joseph is studying on his grandpa's ranch for the summer, and I asked Sandra to take care of him. "
Luke didn't think there was anything wrong with that. "That's good. Right, when are you leaving? "
Catherine said, "Tomorrow at noon at Houston Airport. Claire's flight is at twelve, and we're at three. "
Luke thought for a moment and said, "I'll have someone bring you something. Show Robert the manual."
Catherine laughed. "We're going out to play. There's no need to give gifts, right?"
Luke said, "It's not a gift. Just show Robert the manual."
Catherine: "Alright, I just don't understand those electrical appliance manuals! You don't have to remind me twice. "
Luke was amused. "Okay, have fun. I'll take care of Claire."
Putting down the phone, he smacked his lips. He was happy to see Robert and Catherine's "trip when they wanted to."
The last time they had such a long-distance romantic trip could be traced back to their honeymoon trip. That was many years ago.
Selina was a little tempted. "Do you think I should let my parents go on a trip like that?"
Luke said, "Sure. As long as you can convince Marino, Sandra should be very willing."
As for who would take care of her siblings, Selina didn't have to worry about that.
Selina's neighbors were mostly their relatives. They were mostly honest people who worked on farms, and were more than capable of taking care of Talia and her family.
Selina immediately said with a bitter face, "I'm afraid there's no hope."
Luke rose and said, "Let's go and buy some things. You girls know what Claire needs."
Selina also rose and sighed. "Forget it. At least my parents were on an international trip back then."
Luke was stumped for a moment, before he chuckled.
Marino and Sandra eloped from Mexico to America back then. In terms of the route, it was indeed an international trip.
But only Selina, Luke's biological daughter, could mock them. It wasn't appropriate for him to say anything.
He patted her shoulder with a smile to show his encouragement. "You'll have a chance in the future. You're a rich woman now. You and Sandra can secretly discuss it. It'll be easy to give Marino a surprise, right?"
Selina thought for a moment and agreed.
Based on the gold mine that Elizabeth had mentioned, Selina could earn thousands of dollars every day. Her family's financial problems were no longer a problem.
It was just that Marino was an honest man who was used to being busy, and couldn't stay idle.
Luke rather appreciated that. Marino was much better than some people who were addicted to drugs the moment they got rich.
He bought a lot of daily necessities for Claire at the supermarket, before they snuck home.
It wasn't common in Los Angeles to wait for orders. It was all thanks to Stark Industries that law and order in Los Angeles had improved, not just a little.
After he got home, Luke fiddled with the equipment for Robert and Catherine.
Of course, it wasn't a weapon, but a satellite phone.
The satellite phones on the market were already quite mature. Luke mainly needed to strengthen the signal so that he could track the phone's location at any time.
It wouldn't take long.
With Tony's skills, it would be a waste to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Thankfully, Luke didn't care about showing off, and did whatever he needed himself.
He then informed Jenny to transfer a clerk from the phone company and had the young man, who had just joined the company, drive over today and deliver the phone to Robert, who had just arrived in Houston.
Luke didn't feel guilty about ordering someone else to do the hard work.
He was the one who paid the young man's salary.
With money, he could naturally leave the trivial matters to others.
After settling the family business early, Luke left at night.
What he didn't know was that after he left, Selina and the dog head slipped out as well.
The two sneaky fellows were communicating telepathically.
"Are you sure Luke won't come back early?"
"Don't worry. I've observed him. He's gone for at least an hour each time. We'll get to the point, beat him up, and go home. We'll definitely be done in 37 minutes at most. "
"Fine, if he catches you, you won't be paid for your labor tonight."
"You're being unreasonable!"
"Do you want me to have Luke come back and reason with you?"
"… Let's go. What if that guy comes back early?"
"Didn't you say that we only need 37 minutes?"
"Safety first."
"Hey, why are you copying Luke?"
…
On the other side, Luke went straight to the important nest of the "Latin Boys" on the east side.
He had found this gang because the Latin Boys were very well-informed.
A few minutes later, Luke snuck into the core of the nest and found the boss here. He then locked him in a room and interrogated him in excruciating pain.
