Chapter 1519: Guilt and Blood Relation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Phil was a little befuddled. He tried to recall his general understanding of Chinese culture, and asked tentatively, “Are you saying that you believe in Buddha?”

Luke stared at him speechlessly for a moment before he sighed. “First of all, the Big Dipper is more important in Daoism. Secondly, Buddhism likes to say that if you put down the knife and repent, that is, as long as a bad person stops killing and turns to good, you are a good person.”

Of course, that was just a casual explanation. There were too many stories tied to the source of religion, and there were no concrete teachings.

However, it wasn’t like he was preaching to Phil, so he naturally didn’t have to be too particular.

Phil thought for a moment, and seemed to get it. “In other words, you don’t plan to give those bad guys a chance to change their ways.”

Luke shrugged. “If you kill a lot of innocent people, but then repent and become a so-called good person, did the innocent who died deserve it?”

He took a sip of his coffee. “That’s why I’m in charge of the kills. There’s no need for me to waffle over the bad guys. Bruce isn’t very good in this regard.”

Phil smiled politely and didn’t say anything about Big Dipper’s assessment of Batman.

Even if he disagreed, that wouldn’t prevent them from becoming friends.

It would also be foolish of him to agree.

Besides, Phil was more inclined to believe Batman.

After all, Big Dipper’s logic that bad guys deserved to die was too ruthless compared with Batman’s rule of never killing people.

“What about you? Are you going to stay in SHIELD when it’s like this?” Luke suddenly asked.

Drinking his juice, Phil nodded casually. “I still have things to do. What else is there?”

Luke rubbed his neatly trimmed beard. “Find a wife, have three to five kids, make money the usual way and support your family. If you have nothing to do, play with your kids?”

Phil choked on his juice and coughed several times. He looked at Luke in surprise. “… Are you serious?”

Given Big Dipper’s personality, this sort of “no murder- involved” proposal was very out of character.

Luke stared at him keenly. “You should know that I’ve studied a bit of human psychology, right?”

Phil felt his hair stand on end. “You…”

Luke smiled and took a sip of his coffee.

Big Dipper’s smile was different from Luke’s or Batman’s. It was always a little mocking, and it was very easy for people to sense his condescending air.

This sense of superiority didn’t come from wealth or status, but from the fact that he saw through everything.

Looking at Phil’s wary expression, Luke finally asked a question he had long wanted to ask. “You feel some guilt toward your family, or some family members, right?”

Phil’s expression was conflicted as he leaned back and clenched his fists uneasily.

Luke said, “That’s why you’ve never thought of finding a wife and having kids; it’s because you’re afraid of something happening to them, right?”

Phil raised his hand. “Stop! We’re partners now, so take your d*mn psychoanalysis away from me.”

Luke smiled. “It’s because we’re partners that it’s only right for us to get to know each other. Who knows, you might need me to take care of your family someday.”

Phil froze, a flash of interest in his eyes. In the end, however, he still rejected the idea.

They were doing well without him.

The kid, in particular, had already become a big boss, and the family was protected by a private security firm. Few people could touch his family.

Luke glanced at him and took another sip of his coffee. “Don’t tell me it’s that kind of movie script about regret at implicating your family?”

Phil nodded with a bitter smile, then shook his head. “Yes and no.”

Luke put the cup down and leaned forward with great interest. “What is it

Phil hesitated for a moment before he said, “One of my elders’ kids heard me talk about the work I did when I was young, and later joined the U.S. government. Then, he ran into a brainless idiot who attacked and killed him, just like that.”

Luke narrowed his eyes. “And then?”

Phil let out a long breath. “I found an opportunity to capture that idiot and turn him into Swiss cheese before I transferred to SHIELD.”

Luke looked away. “Does your elder know about that?”

Phil smiled bitterly. “In the end, I was the one who made him curious enough to join this line of work. I do regret it.”

Luke nodded. “Got it. You didn’t tell them, so they thought that you were related to his death somehow.”

Phil shook his head sadly. “They don’t blame me. But he’s dead. What’s the point of saying anything? Can it bring him back to life?”

Luke was deep in thought. “If you don’t explain, they’ll be unhappy with you and will naturally keep their distance, so they won’t be in any danger. Is that what you’re doing?”

Alarmed, Phil raised his hands in surrender. “I’ll say it again, don’t use your d*mn psychoanalysis on me, okay?”

Luke snorted. “That’s just normal logic. What does it have to do with psychology? You work overtime every day and you don’t have a girlfriend. You’re also not in contact with your family. Isn’t it reasonable for me to guess that you don’t get along?”

Phil raised his hands again. “Fine, but please stop asking about my personal matters.”

Luke said, “Whatever.”

Phil rolled his eyes. “In exchange, why don’t you talk about yourself?”

Luke chuckled. “I have a happy household and my girlfriends are all beautiful. I can call up lady friends whenever I want. What else is there to say?”

Phil: …F*ck!

He suddenly realized that Big Dipper was curious about other people’s problems precisely because he didn’t have any.

So, was Phil a research subject? He shook his head in frustration. “I’m going to continue training. Make sure your plan for the operation is a good one.”

Amused, Luke looked at Phil, who quickly headed toward the training ground, and didn’t provoke him anymore.

Phil’s words and emotions were enough to confirm certain things.

He had tried before, intentionally or otherwise, to verify Phil’s words.

So, it hadn’t been because of Phil’s work that his birth parents died early on.

The guilt which Phil felt was because he valued family.

In Luke’s opinion, what his father had wanted to do had nothing to do with Phil.

For example, was it Robert’s fault that Luke chose to become a detective?

‘The dangers he faced were just a “side effect” of the system, and had nothing to do with Robert.

For example, Claire might be in danger if she became a detective, but it was the same even if she became a celebrity.

If she ran into danger in the future, could Luke be blamed for not stopping her in the first place?

Nobody was God. They couldn’t control everything, nor could they be fully responsible for other people’s lives.

Despite how principled Phil was, he had taken advantage of his position to avenge Luke’s father. What else was there to say?

That was right, Phil was related to Luke’s father.

Luke had known this for a long time..
