A moment later, the two of them went their separate ways.
Phil looked at Flegg in the rearview mirror and curled his lip.
He wasn't lying to Flegg.
What Batman had done last night made him cancel the private communication he had prepared beforehand.
Batman had only been around for a month, but he was already facing a powerful California family like the Elsworths. He had even directly destroyed the core of this family last night.
Phil felt that if he really recruited this person into the team, the conflict between SHIELD and the American elite would only intensify.
Even if he personally approved of Batman's actions last night, he had no choice but to give up on the recruitment plan.
But he wouldn't arrest Batman either.
He was a 100% human, and didn't want to stand up for a family of monsters like the Elsworths who drank human blood at all.
…
After Luke and Selina left, they went to another private hospital to visit Dustin and Jennifer.
After the Elsworths had withdrawn most of the police officers from the hospital last night, Dustin, with the help of Elsa's team, had transferred Jennifer, who had completed her surgery, to this private hospital ahead of time, leaving only an empty ward.
If it had been ordinary criminals who had come last night, Luke would have given them real X bombs and evidence of the Elsworths, and then sent them to heaven to pin the crime of the Elsworths instigating a suicide attack in the hospital.
This was to prevent the Elsworths from wiping out all the X drugs that he had planted in the criminals' backpacks.
In the end, the attackers were two vampires, which was a little unexpected.
After confirming that the two vampires had broken into the room, Luke detonated the smoke grenades that he had set up beforehand to create a loud noise to ensure that Batman would be "attracted" to them.
As long as Batman went over, he would naturally think of a way to catch the two attackers and make them appear live on TV.
These paparazzi were free third-party witnesses.
Luke didn't need to film himself, nor did he need to deliver the video. The reporters would do the rest themselves.
In the end, Flegg and Phil were also lured over, and Luke didn't even have to wrap things up.
As for Sheldon Elsworth, who had been killed in the stone castle, this old man's methods were extraordinary.
Luke had thought that Sheldon was a human lackey who had been controlled or seduced by the vampires.
But in fact, after this old man found a way to get The Embrace and save his dying body from cancer, he relied on his plan to capture the vampire who gave him The Embrace and put him in a semi-conscious state.
Sheldon naturally wasn't controlled by the vampire. He directly sucked dry all the "true blood" of the unconscious vampire and replaced him, becoming a true vampire.
That was more than ten years ago.
After that, Sheldon handed the authority over to his son, Henry Elsworth, while he secretly captured vampires in the dark. At the same time, he chose his dying clansmen to be converted into vampire slaves, and the hardcore ones to become vampires.
The vampires that Luke killed last night were the trump cards that Sheldon had accumulated over the past decade.
Sheldon wasn't the vampires' vassal. He was the vampires' vampires' vampires' vines. He had been digging into the vampires' territory.
Sheldon hadn't liked Councilor Henry in the past two years because the ill Councilor Henry was unwilling to abandon his human identity. He tried his best to use science to save himself and continue being a big shot.
As for Councilor Henry's younger brother, Wolf Elsworth, he had long become a staunch member of the family cult that Sheldon had established.
The killing games he played were proof of his loyalty.
At the same time, Wolf was Sheldon's link to the Bubblegum Gang, as well as to the European vampires.
It was through Wolf that Sheldon had found clues about the vampires from the Bubblegum Gang. He had plotted against more than ten vampires and had his own family take the blame.
This was also the reason why Sheldon was furious when Wolf Elsworth was "reported" to be missing.
In comparison, Henry valued his position as a human more, and Wolf was Sheldon's good son and helper.
A few years ago, when Henry was diagnosed with leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant, he had secretly taken Dylan's DNA for a test, and discovered that his son, Dylan, was his nephew.
The two brothers, Henry and Wolf, had had a fierce conflict.
But even though Henry's wife had given birth to a son for Wolf, Sheldon still stood on Wolf's side.
As a result, Henry grew more and more distant from his father, brother, son, and wife. In the end, he simply started a test tube baby in private to find a bone marrow match for himself.
That was because he couldn't take it that his brother had cuckolded him, and his father was still helping the other party.
After sorting out the relationship, Luke sweated inwardly. From the looks of it, Councilor Henry's death was a little unjust.
As for the Blood God that Sheldon wanted to summon, the rest of the family didn't know the details. It was all the old man's doing.
The things that Luke had taken from the secret room in the stone castle were all related to the Blood God and the summoning ritual. He could just read them later.
Finally, there was Dylan Elsworth and Alex Montell. These two young masters were hiding in the stone castle.
The robbers who had rescued Alex from the prison were Sheldon's direct subordinates.
These people had attacked the prison on the night of the earthquake, and had hidden in the stone castle, not daring to show their faces in Los Angeles again.
That was why there were so few people who went to kill Jennifer the next day.
After more than fifty people were wiped out in the hospital, Sheldon could only send out two vampire slaves to silence them, but Luke caught them red-handed.
Alex was more important to Sheldon's future plans, and he had to save him.
Alex's Montell family had been carrying out various criminal activities in Europe, one of which was human smuggling.
His family was also a big supplier for the Bubblegum Gang, and often helped the Elsworth family smuggle girls as fresh "blood cows."
Those girls had been tricked into boarding the ship from Eastern Europe and sent straight to the stone castle that never saw the light of day.
After contacting this supplier, the Elsworth family's abduction of women and children in California became entertainment, not a necessity.
That was why it hadn't attracted much attention.
In fact, once Sheldon completed "summoning the Blood God" and successfully possessed him, he would take his grandson, Dylan, and his partner, Alex, to the chaotic countries in Eastern Europe. After a few rounds, he would use his new identity to take root there.
There were too many powerful forces operating in America, which wasn't suitable for Sheldon's vampire family development plan.
He was already prepared to split the family in two. The younger generation would control the industry in America, and the old and dying ones would turn into vampires to develop their dark side in Europe.
This old man was indeed an old ghost who played politics and politics. He had arranged everything clearly, and even the vampires were just his tools.
Unfortunately, Luke and the Elsworths had formed an "indissoluble bond" a long time ago. 8)
