Chapter 403: Wow, What a Shame

Chapter 403 Wow, What a Shame

After that, Flegg walked out of the room without waiting for Luke’s reply.

Luke clicked his tongue and felt that Flegg’s tone was quite unusual.

He left the room, and Flegg was nowhere to be seen. The colonel simply told him that the investigation was over, and that a car was waiting for him.

Luke shrugged and walked out of the building

Sheerah and her companions were outside the building. They had been released a long time ago, and were all waiting for Luke.

Luke smiled brilliantly and said, “Okay, we can finally take a break now.”

While he had been tangled up in the politics of the matter for a bit, he had finally escaped without a hitch.

They were escorted to the gate of the base by a Hummer. After walking for several hundred meters, they got into Sheerah’s limo, which her bodyguards had parked on the roadside.

Luke exchanged a meaningful look with Sheerah, who didn’t say much and only smiled. “I’m a little tired. I’ll go home first. You can see her off.”

She then smiled at the young girl next to Luke and asked, “You don’t mind, do you?”

Tyler quickly shook her head. “No, no, no. You can drop me at any bus station in town.”

Sheerah shook her head and didn’t say anything else. She simply hinted “work hard” at Luke before she closed her eyes to rest.

After Sheerah returned to her place, Luke asked Tyler, “Where do you live?”

Tyler hesitated and said, “I… I’m from New York. They took me to the ship as soon as I got off the plane.”

What made her even more depressed was that she was supposed to be reimbursed for her flight, and then paid 10,000 dollars.

In the end, she didn’t get the money, and instead had almost been killed by armed criminals.

She could barely make ends meet in her career, and had been banking on this fee in order to survive for a little while.

Now, she had nothing at all except for two hundred dollars in her purse.

Seeing her hesitation, Luke realized her dilemma, and said to the driver with a smile, “To the Beverly Hills Hotel.”

The driver started the limo and sped up slowly as he headed to their destination.

Tyler was rather surprised. “Ah, that’s…” She was going to say that it was too expensive for her.

But Luke took out a roll of cash from his pocket and gave it to her. “Just consider it a loan.”

Tyler looked at the cash, which were all hundred dollar bills. It had to be around two thousand dollars.

She stuttered, “T- then how do I contact you?”

She knew that Luke probably didn’t expect her to pay the money back since he hadn’t given her his contact.

Staring at her for a moment, Luke smiled and took out a card. “No need to be anxious, everybody runs into difficult situations every now and then.”

Tyler accepted the card and slowly lowered her head. Her eyes gradually turned red when she remembered what she had gone through in the past two years.

It was really difficult to be famous and make a living in show business.

Her gig today might’ve been the start of a different path for her.

Once someone abandoned their determination, they would fall very quickly. Her job tonight would’ve been her first step toward giving up her dream; she had already had a vague sense that she was slowly turning into something else.

However, the unexpected hijacking of the battleship had been a huge shock, and had disrupted her future plan.

Remembering what her agent had insinuated, she looked at the roll of cash and suddenly said, “Do you think it would be better for me to look for a regular job?”

Luke was stunned for a moment; he hadn’t expected her to ask such a question.

Thinking for a moment, he shook his head. “You need determination and courage, whatever you want to do. You can’t succeed without hard work.”

Looking at Tyler’s blank expression, Luke smiled. “When you make an important decision about the future, you must have a huge amount of courage and willpower; only then will you be able to weather difficulties and setbacks. You’re thinking about switching jobs, but can you persevere with that decision?”

Tyler fell silent.

Luke shifted his gaze and looked out the window. “Give yourself some time to figure out what you really want, so that you won’t be so quick to regret it.”

The limo soon reached the hotel, and when Tyler got off, Luke said, “You can call me if you need help.”

Tyler nodded, and standing at the hotel entrance, she watched the limo disappear from sight.

When Luke returned home, Selina was watching TV on the couch in a big bath towel.

Seeing Luke, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “How was her performance? Did you record it?”

Luke shrugged. “She didn’t sing tonight. She spent all her time running.”

Selina exclaimed and sat up straight. “What happened?”

Luke said, “Let me shower first. Did you finish your training for the night?”

Selina slanted him a resentful look. “Why do you sound like my middle school teacher? I finished, and I just came out of the shower, okay?”

Luke nodded. “Then I’ll tell you after I’ve showered.”

After his shower, he told Selina what happened that night.

But he didn’t mention his speculations, like the fact that the criminals might have been after nuclear weapons, or that some of the criminals might have been from the CIA.

Selina was full of regret. “So exciting? If I knew, I would’ve gone with you.”

After a brief silence, Luke said, “With your makeup skills, there wouldn’t have been anything you could do except watch, right?”

Selina was lost for words.

As a beautiful woman, she naturally knew how to put on makeup, but daily makeup and makeup for a big star’s performance were completely different.

She could only glare at Luke for exposing her shortcoming. “Can’t you just comfort me and say something like ‘wow, what a shame’?”

Luke nodded idly and said, “Wow, what a shame.” Selina flew into a rage. “Scram!” Saying that, she got up… and went back to her room to sleep. Luke chuckled and put on home clothes, then read the system notifications in delight.

For rescuing the marines and killing the criminals, he earned almost six thousand experience and credit points that night. System: As experience has reached 30,000 points, the host has leveled up to level 12.

Extra stat points: 5.

Luke had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and he finally added the points to Mental Strength.

Mental Strength 16.

There was a familiar yet lighter sensation of numbness in his head, as if electricity was running through it.

He subconsciously took out his phone and looked at his hair in the mirror.
