Chapter 1782: Dissatisfied Director Selina, and New Treatment for the Dog Head

This haunted house in Wever was one of the few cases that Luke had never solved.

This had been a good opportunity to fix the situation. He had screwed old Mephisto over a little, so he left with the female doctor in a good mood.

As for old Mephisto’s revenge, Luke wasn’t worried.

The fact that this old fox didn’t retaliate immediately meant that Luke hadn’t crossed a bottom line this time, and that the other party didn’t have the courage to retaliate.

Since he hadn’t flipped out immediately, that meant he would be less determined to retaliate in the future.

After enduring a few more times, it would become a habit.

Old Mephisto wasn’t a newbie; he should understand this principle.

After getting off to a good start with the female doctor, Luke turned some of his attention to Eddie.

This righteous paparazzo was much better than the female doctor in various ways. At the very least, Venom and a certain dog head were very similar.

A low starting point meant low expectations.

As a ‘loser’ among symbiotes, Venom was definitely much easier to fool than Agony.

With Luke’s backing, Eddie’s ‘requirement’ was fresh organs, eyes, and brains to eat every day — of course, not human ones.

Duping Venom meant training Eddie, and Luke simply gave him the personal contacts of several top meat suppliers.

As long as he had money, Eddie could even go to a slaughterhouse and wait for the animal to be slaughtered there and then.

This expense was submitted as part of the cost of ‘rearing’ Venom, which could be considered a training investment.

However, when Eddie slipped and used the word ‘rearing,’ Venom expressed its dissatisfaction.

Eddie had no choice but to give it cow or pig brains every day in exchange for its forgiveness.

Recently, a certain dog head who liked to check on Venom when it was free would laugh so hard it rolled on the ground, and it continued to mock its fellow for being uncouth.

Eddie’s admittance into the PDD, but Luke wasn’t satisfied with the situation after that.

Apart from submitting over 30 pieces of information about shady dealings in one go, this gold-star paparazzo hadn’t done anything else.

After taking tens of thousands of dollars for the information, the guy immediately went to get back his ex-girlfriend, Anne.

Luke wasn’t an unreasonable person. He never meddled in the Bat Squad’s personal relationships, and even encouraged them.

They just needed to do a background check to make sure that they weren’t being screwed over by some scumbag.

Eddie couldn’t be blamed for chasing after his ex, but he was completely engrossed in this endeavor, which pissed off his direct superior, Director Selina.

This was the first “backup hero” she had recruited, but he was no longer thinking about upholding justice.

When she tried asking Luke what she should do, she got a reply very much in line with her thinking. “The reason both the PDD and the Justice League use a temp system is to screen people multiple times and eliminate those who don’t share our values.”

Director Selina was stunned. “I thought Eddie was a sure thing.”

Luke took a sip of his green tea and shook his head at the director’s naive thought. “Do you think only idiots would believe those scam text messages we get from time to time?”

Director Selinda nodded. For a moment, she couldn’t think how this had to do with what they were talking about.

Luke picked up a roast pork bun. “Actually, it uses the same principle as our elimination method.”

Selina’s eyes widened. “What?”

She didn’t understand how her PDD was related to fraud.

Luke stuffed the bun into his mouth and chewed. His words were a little muffled as he said, “Because it uses a certain standard to eliminate ‘clients’ who don’t meet the requirements. For these scammers, they need to eliminate those who aren’t stupid; whoever is left are naturally idiots who are willing to give them money.”

Pausing for a moment to swallow his bun, he then said, “The PDD will eliminate people who just want to make money and enjoy themselves. They’ll be temps forever. We’ll just give them money to get things done. If they run out of luck, that won’t have anything to do with us. After all, we’ve already given them the money.”

Taking another sip of tea, he continued, “The majority of people will be eliminated when it comes to the Justice League. Some of them might be good, some might be strong, and some might have special abilities, but all of them will have their own reasons for not being superheroes. They can be made official employees of the PDD; they’ll feel it’s safer to keep a certain distance.”

Selina stuffed two siu mai into her mouth as she listened to Luke’s explanation. Puzzled, she asked, “But Eddie already knows that you and I hired him.”

The Dark Knight had fought the Joker in the research building. Eddie wasn’t stupid, and knew that he was special.

Luke chuckled. “That’s because Venom is a target under surveillance. What if this guy only thinks about eating people’s brains, eyes and organs every day? Now, even if Venom knows that we’re monitoring its every move, it won’t be unhappy, because we’re the ones paying.”

Selina’s eyes widened. “The two of them together only get 200,000 to 300,000 dollars a year, right? And… they’re just going to accept that?”

Luke looked at the dog head at Selina’s feet who was unhurriedly enjoying its snacks, and said casually, “It’s just a newly-hired temp worker. If it wants a raise, it’ll have to work hard. Other people only get big bonuses after going out on combat missions. Why should it get millions of bucks for nothing?”

If that really happened, wouldn’t the dog head immediately explode? It was only because it was cautious and conscientious that it was able to enjoy its current status.

The Bat Squad was treated well because they followed Luke out on missions time and time again.

Everyone had to work hard.

In comparison, the dog head hadn’t fought as many battles, yet it earned countless times more – of course it wouldn’t be unhappy.

It knew that it benefited a lot from working with Selina.

However, Eddie and Venom were still ‘temp employees’; if they were treated dozens of times better than when the dog head first started ‘working’ back then, how could it not be angry?

It had always been in fierce ‘competition’ with Venom, and it absolutely didn’t want to be inferior.

Given Luke’s protective nature, he wouldn’t let Venom touch the dog head.

Half of what he said was for the dog head to hear.

This guy wasn’t human and was brainless.

It wouldn’t understand anything if it wasn’t said plainly to its face.

Sure enough, the dog head ate more quickly, and it subconsciously wagged its tail.

Selina rolled her eyes. This guy was getting better and better at duping the dog head. He didn’t increase his money or treatment, and simply made use of its ‘competitive spirit.’

No wonder he had gotten her to show herself in order to recruit Eddie.

Theoretically speaking, she should be using other aliases to recruit both temporary and official members for the PDD.

Only the superheroes who joined the Justice League would know that Black Cat was the PDD Director.

In a sense, Eddie and Venom were specially recruited as ‘tools’ to motivate Gold Nugget.
