Chapter 253: Everybody Loves Donuts

Chapter 253 Everybody Loves Donuts

This laptop was sturdy but had lousy performance, so Luke only used it to demonstrate his products on his field trips.

Mindy nimbly caught the laptop that Luke threw at her and turned it on.

Damon didn’t approach Luke. He raised the box in his hand and said, “Here’s the payment. Seven hundred thousand dollars in total, including what we owe you from before.” He opened the box and poured the cash out onto a table.

He was demonstrating that there weren’t any tricks in the box, and that it wasn’t padded with newspaper at the bottom.

After that, Damon joined his daughter, and they checked the laptop together.

Actually, the two parties trusted each other.

Damon knew that Luke was aware of his identity, but it had never leaked.

Luke, on the other hand, had worked with Damon before and knew that the man was trustworthy.

Luke casually examined the cash but didn’t take it.

Damon found that weird. “What’s wrong?”

Luke asked, “You must have covert suppliers who won’t reveal your personal information, right?”

Damon said, “Yes, do you want to…”

Luke nodded. “Yes. I’ll write you a list of materials later, and the money here will be my payment. If it isn’t enough, I’ll pay the rest.”

Damon said, “Since you’re helping us make the equipment, you don’t have to…”

Luke raised his hand and interrupted him. “No, I don’t think your money is enough. Also, you must be careful and don’t let anyone track you. What I want is absolute security. It’s okay if you can’t purchase some of the materials on the list.”

Damon was suspicious. “You’re not trying to buy biochemical or nuclear materials, are you?”

Luke chuckled. “Of course not. I’m only afraid that you might be too careless. I recognized you before after just a quick glimpse of you.”

Damon was lost for words. Will you let it go already?

Mindy’s eyes glowed as she looked at the equipment displayed on the laptop. “You call these trinkets? They’re so cool. I can use them to catch anyone.”

Luke looked at the girl’s legs. You can’t catch anyone right now only because your legs are too short.

Realizing what Luke was looking at, Mindy said angrily, “I’m only a child. I’ll be much taller later.”

Luke was silent, but he thought to himself, It’s fine if you can’t grow taller, but please don’t grow fat.

He would hate seeing the girl’s cute looks destroyed by fat.

After negotiating for a moment, Luke wrote a list on his laptop and gave it to Damon. “This is the list. Get the raw materials to me in three days, so that I can assemble what you need. I’m leaving. Right, remember not to expose yourselves.”

Damon and Mindy were speechless. Why are you still talking about that? You’ve mentioned it three times already in this meeting.

Satisfied, Luke returned home after teasing Damon and Mindy yet again.

He was very pleased with the deal.

It would’ve been tricky for him to purchase the raw materials himself, and he would have to waste a lot of time disguising himself each time.

He had little patience to spare to purchase the assortment of items that he needed.

Now that Damon was running the errand for him, Luke wouldn’t be affected even if Damon’s purchases were found out.

Before their meeting, he had examined the environment and confirmed that it wasn’t a trap.

Like he said, it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Damon; he was just afraid of someone tracking him down by following Damon.

There were people with super abilities in this world, after all.

Selina was still reading the case file when Luke returned home. Seeing Luke, she dropped the file and yawned. “I’m tired. I’m going to bed.”

Luke nodded. “Do you want me to take you to your bed?”

Out of his expectations, Selina nodded. “Yes.”

Luke was speechless, but eventually, he carried her to her bed. It was unnecessary to take off her clothes now since she was only wearing her pajamas.

Taking a shower and making a cup of green tea for himself, Luke mulled things over on the couch.

Damon and Mindy were mostly active in New York. They could be potential allies.

Such allies didn’t have to help him in battle. As long as they provided intelligence or other support for him at the right moment, they were irreplaceable.

They would also be connections he could use.

Even Tony Stark had friends and connections in the military as well as the support of formidable stakeholders of Stark Industries.

When Tony lost the support of these people, he was kicked out of Stark Industries by Obadiah, and his influence as a super magnate instantly disappeared.

Luke didn’t plan to walk Stark’s path, so he had to treat his allies and friends well.

Thus, he wasn’t really making much of a profit from the deal with Damon, which was already hard to believe since he was using Tony Stark’s abilities.

Even experts who weren’t as skilled as Tony would’ve charged a million dollars for such an order.

But most of these people didn’t lack money to begin with, and without connections, Damon couldn’t ask them for help!

Besides, the equipment that Luke made for them was highly practical.

Electronic surveillance and anti-surveillance devices, gadgets to hide your tracks and to walk on walls, special bulletproof armor, and so on…

Luke focused on the file again.

On their way to work the next day, he noticed that Selina showed no signs of exhaustion.

Luke recalled that Selina seldom fell ill or suffered overexertion ever since he got to know her.

Did she have an unusual gift as well?

They didn’t need to go to the police department today. Since Selina had studied the case yesterday and talked to the detectives who worked on it previously, they would go directly to the crime scene.

They got out when they arrived at their destination.

Luke looked at the signboard above the store, which was a gigantic circle that was hollow in the center.

He was amused. “Everybody loves donuts.”

This was a store that sold various kinds of donuts, which were hard for Americans, who loved sweets, to resist.

For police officers, donuts were also indispensable.
