If Luke chose to make a move at that moment and kill the higher-ups of the Fraternity, including Sloan, or even everyone in the factory, it would frighten the Fraternity's even larger, lower-level branches.
Without Sloan and the other higher-ups, the most likely outcome for these branches would be to disappear without a trace and reappear in the end.
At that time, if Luke wanted to clean up these branches, he would have to waste more time looking for them, which would be too inefficient for him to farm points.
Thus, he couldn't kill Sloan and the others for the time being.
Thinking this, Luke snuck out quietly.
After taking several turns in the dark corridor, he arrived at a large, bright room.
He didn't score, but simply looked through the window and saw everything in the spacious room.
A huge but old loom that looked like it was more than a hundred years old was working there.
Luke only looked for a moment before he left the room.
He was very interested in this thing, but he could only leave it for last.
Given its size, it wouldn't be easy for the Fraternity to move it away quietly, so he wasn't too worried.
After personally confirming that the loom was the Fraternity's spiritual pillar, he snuck out again and found another spacious room.
Unlike the room where the loom was, it was dark here, and there weren't many things in the room. There were three long pits on the ground that looked like coffins.
In front of a table in the corner, a person was busy with something.
Luke walked over calmly. The man didn't know that he was coming, and was still doing what he was doing.
After quietly watching the man for a long time, Luke's lips curled up. He looked around for a moment, then took out a small device and put it behind the man's head. With a flick of his finger, he turned it on.
The man stiffened, and Luke slapped him on the back of the head. His vision instantly darkened, and he fell forward.
Luke grabbed the man's collar and put him on a stool. He leaned against the table as if he were sleeping.
System: You have defeated Exterminator.
List of Exterminator's abilities: Basic Combat, Basic Firearms … Special Medicinal Bath Mix (1,000 credit points)
Looking at the special medicinal bath mix in the system notification, Luke smiled and immediately learned the ability.
Thinking for a moment, Luke frowned and looked at the bottles and jars around the table.
Thinking for a moment, Luke frowned and looked at the bottles on the table.
With a thought, he stored a small amount of the items in each bottle into his storage space.
After walking around the room, he took out two mini drones, set up a preset program, and placed them in the corner of the roof outside the room.
After doing all that, Luke left the textile factory and returned to Manhattan in the rain.
It was not even twelve o 'clock when he got home. Selina had just finished training and was sitting at the dining table on the second floor in her home clothes.
Gold Nugget was also squatting in its special seat. It now had the right to eat at the same table as the fiend.
In any case, they were eating separately, and Luke didn't mind.
Selina read the information in her notebook while eating a large tub of strawberry ice cream in front of her.
There were even more things in front of Gold Nugget. Apart from a big tub of ice cream, there were a lot of empty boxes and wrappers.
As long as the Great Demon King wasn't at home, Selina wouldn't care about it. It could find all kinds of food on its own.
This included bagged snacks from the supermarket, raw seafood, ice cream, pastries, and drinks.
If Selina was in a good mood, it could even put the ingredients for the steak and roast chicken into the smart kitchenware and make itself a midnight snack.
In any case, the smart kitchenware could at most select the type of food and choose the roast mode, which was much simpler than elementary school math.
For example, there were two pieces of foil wrappers for roast chicken in the trash in front of it.
It had been entrusted with the responsibility of looking after the house for the past two days. Nothing had happened in the new place, and Selina had been very easy to talk to.
When Luke reached the back door, Gold Nugget saw the surveillance feed on the tablet. It kept sweeping the table with its paw, and a pile of trash was swept into the trash can under the table like leaves swept away by the autumn wind.
The dog head jumped off its special seat and took the trash can to the first floor.
After cleaning up the scene, it stood guard at the stairs on the first floor.
Luke soon came out of the garage on the first floor. He walked over to the dog and rubbed its head with a smile. "Gold Nugget, you didn't wipe your mouth clean. How much did you eat tonight?"
Gold Nugget whined and subconsciously licked its mouth, but didn't feel anything except saliva.
Luke laughed and went upstairs. He had been teasing the dog head on purpose.
Gold Nugget's mouth was very clean, and there was no food residue at all.
On the second floor, Selina asked lazily, "Is it done?"
Luke nodded and sat down. He picked up the spoon in front of her and scooped a big piece of ice cream into his mouth. He said vaguely, "Yes, everything went smoothly."
Selina glanced at his expression. "You must be in a good mood. Then, I have some bad news for you."
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Your logic is very strange."
Selina switched to a page on her laptop. "First of all, there was no news report on the eight ninjas who died by the river last night."
Luke raised an eyebrow and put another piece of ice cream into his mouth.
As he savored the cold and sweet taste in his mouth, he heard some uncomfortable news. "I also checked the police department's internal records. The 15th Precinct's dispatch last night was classified as a false alarm. Naturally, they didn't find the bodies of the eight ninjas."
Looking at Luke's calm expression, she sighed. "So, the forensics department didn't receive the bodies of the eight ninjas. At the very least, they don't exist in the 15th Precinct's records."
Luke smiled. "What a bunch of good and conscientious colleagues."
Selina didn't say anything.
Thinking for a moment, Luke said, "We have to be careful about everything in the 15th Precinct in the future. These guys already have no bottom line."
Selina nodded. "They've probably been bribed by Kingpin. They might even be partners. We can't trust them at all."
Looking at her face, Luke asked, "What other bad news do you have? Tell me all about it."
"The girl we rescued in the morning has woken up. Her name is Molly Johnson, and she's from Massachusetts. She's a fifteen-year-old ninth-grader. " Selina paused for a moment before she continued, "She came to New York three months ago for the National High School Games. In the end, she left the team on her own shortly after the competition, and only called home and school to say that she wanted to travel alone."
Luke frowned. Why would a fifteen-year-old girl go on a trip on her own for no reason? Also, where did she get the money from? Was she going on a poor vacation?
