With a smile on his face, Luke put the sketches back in their original place and hugged her. "No, I think what we need to do now is to get to know each other better …"
Elena exclaimed, "Wait, I want to have another cup of coffee … Hmm."
Luke chuckled. "Don't I have some in my mouth?"
…
The next day, the rain didn't stop after a night, but became even heavier.
They didn't go out to play, even though Paris in the rain had its own charm.
In Elena's words, she had enough of the streets and alleys of Paris. She just wanted to stay at home today.
Luke followed her advice and went to a coffee shop on the corner of the street to buy breakfast. The two of them then stayed in the apartment.
Looking at the window, Elena suddenly thought that it would be great if she could open the window and look out at the rain.
Luke smiled and snuck off to Pierre's tool shed. He found some tools and materials, and unhurriedly worked for half an hour before he modified her window.
Although Tony Stark's ability was mechanical work, it wasn't hard for him to modify a wooden window.
Looking at the window opening upward instead of sideways, Elena exclaimed in surprise, "That's it?"
Luke was amused. "This kind of window existed in China a thousand years ago. I didn't invent it."
As he spoke, he pushed the metal poles on both sides into the buckle, and the window was pushed up. "What do you think? Is this okay?"
Elena waved at him with a smile. After Luke put down his tools and walked over, she kissed him passionately. "Are you really a police officer? I think you're more like a mechanic. "
Luke bent down slightly and carried her around the room. He washed the dust and sawdust off his hands at the sink and said, "That's right. I'm very good at fixing certain things."
For example, people! He murmured inwardly.
A moment later, they sat down at the table again and watched the hazy Paris in the rain as they drank coffee.
The breeze that carried the scent of rain blew in through the window, cooling the room.
Elena shivered. Luke covered her with a blanket with a smile. "Don't catch a cold."
Elena was about to reply when she called out softly, "Don't. Just sit like this for a while … Ah, forget it. Suit yourself."
Luke, however, poured her another cup of coffee. "Doesn't this feel better?"
Elena bit her lip. "Can't you just stay quiet for a while?"
Luke shrugged. "I'm behaving now."
Elena was speechless.
When night fell, Luke, who had finished showering and tidying up, kissed Elena, who was dozing off on the bed.
She responded in a daze. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and woke up. "Are you leaving?"
Luke nodded and said, "Later."
Elena nodded. "Got it. You can go now."
Looking at her face, Luke smiled and rubbed her head. "You can visit Los Angeles when you have time. There are a lot of art centers there."
Elena stared at him. "Aren't you afraid that I'll disturb your work?"
Luke said, "Are you going to look at me every day and not look at the art you like?"
Elena punched him. "You'd better ask that love master for some sweet nothings. They're not touching at all. Let's go. Don't miss the flight. "
Luke kissed her again and left with his backpack.
Elena didn't get up. She simply lay on the bed with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
A gust of wind blew, and she shivered. She woke up from her studies and covered her naked body with the blanket.
Looking at the window that was still open and the faint light outside, she sighed in satisfaction. "It's really beautiful."
Luke wasn't bored after boarding the flight. He took out the newspapers he had bought before he boarded the plane and leisurely read the headlines.
What was going on in Europe recently?
Of course, there was only one big thing, and that was the Dukhovich case in The Hague, the Netherlands.
From Coventry in England to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and finally The Hague, a series of serious violent incidents had been confirmed to be related to the butcher, Dukhovich.
What was even more bizarre was that the butcher was thrown down from the court building and impaled on the iron railing when he tried to escape.
The photo of Dukhovich hanging on the iron railing was a regular in the headlines of European newspapers over the past two days.
Although the newspapers had basically censored it for the sake of harmony, there were plenty of high-definition photos from all sorts of angles online.
At the same time, the hottest topic on the Internet wasn't Dukhovich, but the one who threw him off the building — the Angel of Judgment.
At the time, almost all the reporters in the court square had taken pictures of the "Angel of Judgment" throwing Dukhovich down and flying away.
These photos were republished in more newspapers, and the onlookers, who hadn't cared about Dukhovich at first, became curious about the matter.
Some quick-witted European netizens put forward a new argument — because of the appearance of America's Batman, our superheroes had also appeared! The age of superheroes was coming. Everyone, rejoice!
When Luke saw the information online during the day, he couldn't help but marvel at the quick thinking of these netizens.
The age of superheroes in this world was really about to arrive!
Even without him, everyone would definitely be in an era where superheroes and supervillains would take turns dominating the headlines.
He wasn't interested in being in the limelight. What he cared about was public opinion in the newspapers.
Generally speaking, the news that the bigger media outlets leaked had a certain bias.
When all the media outlets had the same tone, it meant that the authorities had reached a clear consensus.
When it came to manipulating the media, the Western world was a professional, and could quietly toy with the people at the bottom of the hierarchy.
All of this would only change after the emergence of smartphones.
That was because anyone with a smartphone and some software could become a witness with "pictures and the truth."
It would be even more difficult to hide the truth and fool the public.
Luke had been looking forward to that era for a long time!
Taking off at night and landing at night, Luke breathed in the summer air of Los Angeles and felt like he was home.
However, the experience and credit points in the system made him extremely satisfied with this private job.
Host's experience: 46350/90000
Credit: 35050
In four days, he had earned 16,000 experience and credit points. His efficiency was top-notch.
After killing Dukhovich, the system gave him 3,000 experience and credit points in one go, which proved that this guy was indeed an out-and-out butcher.
Spending the last day with Elena made him feel even more at ease. The entire journey had come to a perfect end.
He took a taxi home from the airport. It was quiet at home. Luke washed up and went to work.
He hadn't done any manual work for the past few days, and his hands were really itching.
