Chapter 1663: Calm, and Sudden Change

Chapter 1658: Calm, and Sudden Change

Artemis watched Luke and Selina leave the park and turn into the parking lot dozens of meters away. Only then did she relax.

She would never forget the young detective who had knocked her down with a taser.

It was from that moment that the three girls… Hm, slowly started to walk down the right path?

As soon as the thought flashed through her mind, she ruthlessly tossed it away. She wasn’t a masochist; how could she thank this “great foe”?

She tugged on Darcy, who was standing there foolishly. “You know them?”

Darcy nodded and came back to her senses. “That’s right. They’re quite nice and helped me out a lot.”

Artemis opened her mouth to retort, but swallowed the words when she recalled the rule in the training handbook: “Assess your opponent properly and don’t be led astray by your emotions.” “Then, tell me about them?”

“Do you know them?” Darcy was stumped, and looked at Artemis suspiciously.

She had recently learned the basic safety rules, including being wary of people trying to get information out of her.

Artemis wanted to deny it, but she remembered from the handbook that the best lie was the truth. She changed her words. “They’re police, right? I’ve seen them work cases before.”

Well, that had been in Los Angeles over a year ago. It was our case! she added inwardly.

Looking at her expression, Darcy didn’t think there was anything wrong. She then nodded and said, “When I was still a minor, I couldn’t find a job. I was homeless, and then I met them…”

Hearing this, Artemis gaped. “Is that guy really that good?”

Darcy frowned and glared at her. “If you doubt me, then… I won’t say anything.”

Artemis quickly apologized. “No, I’m just surprised. You know that there are more bad people than good in society nowadays.”

Although Darcy didn’t go into much detail, how she described being helped out of a difficult situation was true.

Artemis couldn’t sense anything fake about it. She couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. Fine, she had actually been a “villain” before.

Of course, she wasn’t going to forget being tasered in the butt!

She would think about that later. She was more interested in the young detective now.

…

After they got into the car, Selina asked, “Why do I remember that Skye has been living in seclusion in Nassau County for months? Do you have a plan?”

Luke sweated.

“Darcy” was naturally Skye.

Darcy was the new ID she had chosen for herself after using the nanomask.

It wasn’t that Luke had been careless. It was just that the last half-month had been a good time to go “fishing,” and he had been too busy.

Skye was a shut-in who played on the computer every day. She was very quiet.

Now that he thought about it, it had indeed been more than 20 days since he last visited her.

During this period of time, her vibration ability was gradually increasing, along with the damage to her arms.

But thanks to the Light Dagger and Luke’s adjustments to the “shock absorbers,” she was faring alright.

“I’ll check it out tonight,” was all he could say.

Skye was someone worth grooming, and it was necessary to pay attention.

Otherwise, it would be a huge loss if someone else stole her after he raised her.

…

That night, Luke talked to Skye for almost an hour to learn more about her life.

After changing her appearance with the nanomask, she could go out for real-life gatherings. She was clearly living very comfortably.

Since she couldn’t control the vibrations in her hands, she couldn’t go to school for the time being. She could only self-study at home, and covered all sorts of subjects, including computers.

With comprehensive study materials from Luke, she was making good progress.

Luke had Little Snail examine the programs Skye created, and found that they weren’t bad.

After thinking for a moment, he gave her permission to join some of the projects at New Hope Research Institute and take on the task of developing various programs.

This sort of ad hoc paid work was very suitable for Skye’s current situation.

Luke had his own A.I. program to do this sort of work.

But he was the boss and had too many things to do for him to support the research team.

For example, Bent, the expert in developing non-lethal weapons, often outsourced the development of the control programs.

Skye was now qualified to take on jobs to make money, but how much she made depended on her own abilities.

Skye was very interested.

After being homeless for more than a year, she had a deep impression of how important money was.

Also, with money, she could give back to the community center.

As for paying Luke back, he didn’t care about money.

Maybe, being an upright, kindhearted and useful person in the future could be considered as returning the favor?

After sorting that out, Luke reminded Skye not to relax at keeping her vibration ability under control, since that would determine how freely she could move around.

Skye understood and nodded hard.

After saying goodbye to the reluctant Skye, Luke returned home.

At that moment, he remembered Emma, who could control the temperature.

He had just needed to provide this young mother with two children with all the daily necessities.

Just as he was thinking that, Alfred sent him a warning. “Master, an abnormal energy explosion at Miss Emma’s place has destroyed our surveillance equipment.”

Stunned for a moment, Luke then told Alfred to activate the hidden surveillance cameras while he put on his suit and headed straight for Emma’s cottage.

At the suit’s speed, it didn’t take more than five minutes for Luke to fly from the west to the east of Nassau County.

A moment later, he arrived at Emma’s cottage.

It had turned into a huge, burning bonfire. Burning debris was scattered within a ten-meter range.

It was a good thing he had considered the matter of secrecy back then. The closest neighbors were still 500 meters away, and nobody would come over for the time being.

Luke threw out two extinguishing bullets enhanced with Telekinesis and quickly put out the flames. He also confirmed that Emma and her children weren’t in the ruins of the cottage.

He frowned.

From the surveillance feed, it looked like the baby brother in the cot had burst into flames and blown up the room.

The culprit behind the fire was a kid who couldn’t control his ability?

In a situation like this, Emma definitely had to leave.

However, the surveillance cameras at the nearby intersections didn’t pick up any traces of them leaving.

Had Emma used her flight ability? It was indeed possible, to avoid being caught on camera.

Luke immediately searched the air and finally detected the little kid’s scent.

It was much more obvious than other smells.

Even in the night sky, it left a clear trail.

Luke was certain that Emma and her sons had indeed flown away.

It seemed that she had remembered the safety rules and would probably make contact as soon as possible.

But since he was already here, there was no need for him to wait for her to make a call.

Moving swiftly, Luke found a neighborhood five kilometers to the east.

Suddenly, he sped up and dropped from the sky to kick a man in a leather coat.
