Chapter 64: Chef, Non-Disclosure Agreement, and Promotion

After Selina had extra, she was too full to have any more even though she wanted to.

She could only lie there and watch Luke eat.

Watching for a while, she asked curiously, “Why are you using chopsticks instead of a spoon? Why are you so good with them?”

Most Americans had never used chopsticks. Few of them were good with such a utensil.

Luke chuckled. “Maybe I was a Chinese in my last life.”

Selina thought for a moment and nodded. “Maybe. I know a few Chinese friends whose fathers cook better than their mothers do.”

Luke found that odd. “All of them are better than their wives?” That was unusual, even in China.

Selina nodded. “Yes. They’re all restaurant owners.”

Luke was lost for words.

Most cooks in the world were male. America wasn’t an exception.

It wasn’t discrimination against females. As a job, cooking involved a tremendous amount of work. It wasn’t just about skills, but stamina as well.

In terms of skills and stamina, men definitely had the advantage.

After dinner, Luke put down his bowl and said, “So that you don’t put on weight, you should do the dishes.”

Selina was too full to move, but she eventually rose and washed the two bowls.

Few men cooked or did dishes here.

Since Luke had cooked, it would be outrageous to ask him to do the dishes.

Besides, Selina did dishes in her own home, too.

Luke gargled before he continued reading the news on his laptop.

He had seen Tony Stark just now, and he intended to find out why the guy had come to Houston.

Saying that the playboy’s favorite thing to do was make iron robots had just been a joke.

This was only 2003. Tony hadn’t started studying iron suits yet.

Now, Stark Industries was a company that sold military weapons. Technically speaking, space technology was completely unrelated to his main business.

So why was he in Houston? It was rather strange.

However, after browsing through the news online, Luke abandoned the investigation.

Tony was now only a playboy who did whatever he wanted; he didn’t need a reason to be here.

Since Luke wasn’t planning on currying favor with him, there was no need to pay attention to his every move.

The next day, Luke and Selina went to work as usual.

They had to report to Thomas first.

They knocked on Thomas’s office door and entered. Thomas put down his work and observed them for a while, before he said, “I read your files and knew you were exceptional, but I have to admit that I didn’t expect you to achieve so much on your first day at work.”

Both of them simply stood in silence.

Thomas waved his hand and said, “Sit down.”

The two of them sat down on the couch.

Thomas grabbed several documents and handed them out. “Sign the non-disclosure agreements first.”

Luke signed the agreement without reading it at all.

Selina had planned to read it, but when she noticed what Luke did, she followed suit.

Thomas was satisfied. Those two indeed were natural partners.

After they were done, he handed over another two documents and said, “Sign these, too.”

Luke opened the document and signed again.

Selina did the same.

Thomas didn’t ask for the documents back. He said, “You can read them now. Ask me if you have any questions, but don’t talk about what happened yesterday after you leave this office.”

They finally read the documents.

The non-disclosure agreements had undoubtedly been issued by S.H.I.E.L.D..

But the documents after that were actually… promotion papers.

Selina was a regular officer, and Luke was an intern at best thanks to his relationship with Robert.

Robert had pulled some strings and seized the opportunity to get them transferred. Finally, they had managed to rise in rank.

Now, after only one day at Westside Houston Police Department, they were both level 2 detectives.

Most officers would be jealous at how fast they had been promoted.

Selina flushed with excitement, obviously intoxicated by the unexpected promotion.

Luke, on the other hand, was much calmer.

For him, he had gotten the real reward yesterday. This was just a bonus.

He understood what this was about after reading the promotion papers.

The FBI had sent a brief on the case yesterday, and had mentioned Luke and Selina’s contributions.

However, Cheney and his team were fake FBI agents. They actually worked for S.H.I.E.L.D..

It was impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to award Luke and Selina openly, so they had sent the brief under the banner of the FBI in order to recognize their contributions.

In the meantime, to keep them from leaking the matter, the reward had to be a generous one.

Furthermore, Luke had saved an agent and helped them kill multiple gangsters. So, they definitely had to give such an ally something more than a gag order.

Luke realized what happened yesterday after reading the promotion papers.

After her resurrection, Carol had been looking for the Mexican gangsters for some reason. As it happened, Cheney and his team had been tracking her, and had followed her into the warehouse of Mexican gangsters.

Then, the three parties were engaged in a chaotic fight in the warehouse.

Carol had a grudge against the gangsters, but Cheney’s team wanted to catch her.

The gangsters had to deal with Carol, an intruder, but they could tell that Cheney’s team were cops.

Cheney’s team went after Carol, but there was no way that they would refrain from shooting back at the gangsters.

Just like that, the three parties had been caught in a deadlock in the warehouse.

Then, Luke came in and cleared out the hoodlums in several minutes. He let Carol go and retreated with S.H.I.E.L.D.’s team.

The confusing battle finally came to an end.

Carol was fine. The only thing she had suffered was a kick from Luke, and she escaped safely.

On S.H.I.E.L.D.’s side, one agent was heavily wounded, but the other three were fine.

The gangsters were less lucky. They were the weakest and had been shooting randomly, so the other parties attacked them first.

After the incident, nine bodies and three injured gangsters were moved out of the warehouse.

Also, given how serious the case was, the Westside Police Department had taken over the warehouse after S.H.I.E.L.D. was done and scoured the place.

A hidden bunker had been discovered, and more than three hundred weapons of various kinds, including even military C4, were unearthed.

It was without doubt a major case.
