Chapter 561: Gains and Speculation

Chapter 561 Gains and Speculation

The other two important gains were due to that Agent Phil.

Firstly, Luke wasn’t a mutant.

He had basically confirmed this earlier on.

After all, he had tested it many times, but Daddy System had never added the “X-gene” tag to any of his abilities. Besides, Carol’s Elementary Self-Healing and Iron Hide Creech’s Elementary Tempering demanded too many Strength points.

Based on Luke’s speculation, Carol was three times as strong as an ordinary person at most, and Creech was five times as strong, but neither of them met the prerequisite.

So, Carol’s and Creech’s abilities clearly came from their X-genes, while Luke’s ability built and expanded on his own basic attributes.

It was impossible for Luke to learn Christophe’s Elementary Electrical Control because he wasn’t a mutant and didn’t have the X-gene for it. Secondly, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s devices couldn’t detect the system’s inventory.

Luke had reloaded his revolver with bullets from his inventory when he fought Iron Hide, but Phil’s device only detected the traces left by the red-skinned monster after he teleported the dustbins in.

This finding was very important for Luke.

If a piece of equipment could detect whenever he used his inventory, that would be very troublesome for him. He had specifically applied for a M500 as his third gun with Dustin to make the best use of his inventory.

It was most convenient for him to use his inventory to quickly reload this revolver. At the same time, the clearer that his opponent was on the M500’s capacity, the more likely they would be fooled.

Iron Hide, for example, had been duped and killed by his M500, which had fired eleven bullets in a row.

Furthermore, Luke’s jacket could cover the act of taking out his gun, so he could take out the M500 and the M686 interchangeably. It was also why he had always chosen an armpit holster.

He could totally take out an M500 when the M686 was in his holster. In any case, it would look like whatever gun he took out was the one in his holster.

There was nobody who wouldn’t like a portable .50 gun that could fire hundreds of times without needing to be reloaded. With these three major gains, Luke had certainly struck it big with this security assignment.

In the next few days, Luke and Selina resumed their regular duties.

Luke didn’t know if it was because of Tony Stark’s promise, or Agent Phil’s hard work, but they were taken off the Stark Industrial Park assignment, and Elsa gave them many new cases.

The truth was that Luke and Selina were no longer needed. Slapped in the face by the brazen attack, Stark Industries increased the number of security guards at the expo. There were now almost five hundred of them.

LAPD also deployed more police officers to the area.

Hence, the area around the expo became the most peaceful place in the world.

In contrast, however, LAPD was run off its feet.

The guys who stirred up trouble at the expo were all thrown into temporary holding cells at the police department.

They were all detained from anywhere between one to five days.

If they had committed an offense, they were sent to the D.A., convicted, and then carted off to prison accordingly.

However, that had nothing to do with Luke or Selina anymore.

They met Wales the next day, wrote a detailed report, and signed a non-disclosure agreement, and that was it for the formal proceedings.

After that, nobody investigated them anymore.

They were definitely given privileged treatment compared with the other police officers who had been at the scene.

The rest of them were all questioned at least five times for more than ten hours in total.

People from various fields wanted to dig out useful leads from them to figure out the mastermind behind this shocking attack.

Based on police statistics after the incident, Sonia, as an intelligence analysis expert, did a personal assessment.

If the building in Stark Industrial Park had collapsed and all the bigshots and magnates in the building died, these people in total were worth in excess of two hundred billion dollars.

Takagi, who was worth several hundred million, wasn’t even in this list of names.

And this group of magnates had yet to include the major shareholders of Stark Industries or Tony Stark himself.

Strangely enough, there was no criticism from the TV stations that such a large-scale crackdown by LAPD had disrupted public order.

The TV stations might be willing to offend a few magnates, or even a handful of them, but there was no way they would piss off a huge bunch of magnates from various fields. Besides, several major TV station shareholders had also been at Stark Industrial Park.

It was also for that reason that, while every TV station reported on the attack, none of them mentioned Luke or Selina, who had done a lot to help out. Luke and Selina were relieved.

What benefit was there in becoming famous? They didn’t want to be promoted, and they had already struck it rich through their own efforts.

Luke didn’t want to deal with the red-skinned monster, mostly because the guy’s abilities were hard to deal with, and it would be very bad if he went after their families.

But Luke remembered the guy’s scent this time.

If he ever ran into the guy again and had the opportunity, he would certainly change his face and try to kill him.

Anybody who carried out an extremist attack had no boundaries, and it was best for enemies without boundaries to be disposed of as soon as possible.

Despite the turmoil outside, two people and one dog were relaxed as they investigated cases as usual.

Gold Nugget couldn’t be any more satisfied during these few days.

Wherever they went, it could eat. All three of them needed to eat a lot, and they weren’t short of money.

They had everything from snacks, fast foods and light refreshments to big meals…

Fine! Gold Nugget was the saddest when it came to meals, because it couldn’t join Luke and Selina.

Most big restaurants refused entry to pets.

Although it was angry at being treated as a pet, Luke had forbidden it from biting the waiters who stopped it at the entrance. It could only wait until Luke and Selina were done eating, and the only reason it didn’t flip out was because they packed two portions for it as take-out.

It would be too busy eating in the backseat to complain about the waiter’s “discriminatory” behavior.

Just like that, a week passed. Then, Luke received a call from a strange number.

He picked up the phone and said something, before he hung up with a strange expression on his face.

Looking at his face, Selina asked, “Did Jimena find a boyfriend?”

Luke glared at her helplessly. “What are you thinking? That was Mr. Weyland.”

Selina was astonished. “Did he find out you were responsible for his poop shower?”

Luke wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead. “Can’t you be more optimistic?”

Selina threw out random guesses. “Does he have a young and beautiful daughter who wants to get to know you?”

Luke suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.

Selina occasionally had bizarre thoughts, but it was unusual for her to have a whole string of them.

He asked strangely, “Where are you getting all these from?”

Hearing that, Selina frowned and thought for a moment, before she suddenly roared, “Gold Nugget, you idiot, what TV dramas have you been watching every day?”
