Chapter 735: It Isn’t Easy to Pay Luke Back

Dustin patted his forehead. “I forgot.”

Luke shook his head with a smile and left.

Jennifer had to be really charming! Even a workaholic like Dustin would actually forget about his job.

After Luke left the hospital, he bought a bag of daily necessities and food and water from a nearby supermarket. He drove around the hospital and sneered inwardly.

The Elsworth family was anxious this time.

Although Jennifer was only a weak woman, she was unexpectedly good at getting things done. When she found an opportunity, she struck and obtained crucial evidence.

But the chaos in the wake of the earthquake also gave the desperate Elsworth family the opportunity to use the most direct methods to dispose of the evidence as well as those who had seen it.

Jennifer had only been in the hospital for half an hour, and the Elsworths’ eyes were already on her.

Luke took out his phone and made a call. “Harrison, it’s time to return the favor.”

Not long after that, he returned to the hospital and gave Dustin the bag while passing Selina another bag and saying some things to her.

Selina took Gold Nugget to the bathroom.

A moment later, Selina returned after doing one round, and gave Luke a long satchel in passing.

She was also carrying a long satchel which contained an M4A1 and clips.

Luke and Selina walked to one side of the hallway, and hidden from sight by Selina, Luke put some clips into the satchel.

“Will they really come running into the hospital to murder someone?” asked Selina as she looked at the tablet.

The image on the tablet was being transmitted from a drone cruising above the hospital.

Luke put a lollipop in his mouth. “Want one?”

Selina said, “I’m busy. Help me unwrap it.”

Luke took out two lollipops and unwrapped them. He stuck one in Selina’s mouth and the other in Gold Nugget’s mouth. “Jennifer obtained the case file using ‘electroshock therapy,’ and it can easily become inadmissible evidence. As long as the information is exposed, however, their nest in Elsworth City is definitely done for – it would be strange if they didn’t try anything.”

Selina murmured, “This time… it’s going to be a head-on confrontation.”

Luke chuckled. “The enemy will never give us enough time to fight back, but we must stand on the side of justice, like LAPD.”

Selina shrugged. “What if they want to get us suspended first?”

Luke said, “Well, they have to be more famous than Tony Stark.”

Selina slapped her forehead. “I forgot that Tony Stark was the one who got us this job.”

Luke chuckled. “So, the tycoon is a nice guy. He’s always covering for us.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to notify the police department?” Selina didn’t care about Tony at all.

Luke sneered. “You know how powerful they are in Los Angeles. If I tell the police, the word will be out in half an hour.”

“Harrison’s clear?” Selina asked another question.

Luke said, “I’ll confirm it myself.”

Ten minutes later, Luke received a call from Harrison.

He walked out the back door of the hospital and pulled Harrison aside. After saying a few words, Harrison asked the people in the car to come down. “Temporary mission. You’ll now receive the mission instructions from Luke.”

The four people in the car looked at each other, but still did as he said.

Harrison was a veteran and very capable. His authority in the team was unquestionable.

After talking to the team members and watching them leave, Luke said to Harrison, “You don’t blame me for dragging you into this, do you?”

Harrison smiled bitterly. “I’m already here. What do you think?”

Luke patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. The bigger the mess, the safer you’ll be. Tell your teammates not to hold back.”

Harrison frowned. “There’s no harm in taking more safety measures, but would the Elsworths have someone in my team?”

Luke said, “That’s because you don’t know what the Elsworths are up to.”

Harrison asked, “What do they want?”

Luke glanced at him. “It’s safer if you don’t know. At the very least, you’ll come across as someone who doesn’t know anything.”

Harrison: “I really f*cking don’t know anything.”

“Correct answer, that’s the most perfect performance.” Luke turned to leave. “You’re just a SWAT captain, not an agent; you would be killed if you knew too much.”

Harrison was lost for words. Watching Luke leave, he mumbled, “It really isn’t easy to pay you back…”

“Harrison, need I remind you that I have the highest authority on the comms, and I can hear everyone?” Luke’s voice came from the wireless earpiece which Harrison had just put in his ear.

Harrison: “…Sorry, can you turn this off and leave me alone?”

Luke said, “This is mandatory. Also, your authority’s second only to me. You can listen in on your team members. There’s an automatic secondary comms. You can try it first.”

Harrison: “Thank you so much.”

“It’s fine, just don’t say what you’re thinking, okay? It’ll just make people feel awkward,” said Luke.

Harrison: “Okay.” What if I’m the one who feels even more f*cking awkward now?!

But after this interlude, he wasn’t in the mood to talk behind Luke’s back. Instead, with the help of the secondary comms, he instructed his team to set up an ambush.

The only thing he was glad about was that nobody in his team had contacted anyone yet, even if they hadn’t turned in their phones.

After all, this wasn’t a mission assigned by the higher-ups, so he couldn’t be that strict.

That was why Luke had given them the wireless comms.

This was for their protection, but could also be seen as a form of surveillance.

Luke didn’t feel guilty about it.

If there was nothing wrong with any of them, there naturally wouldn’t be any problems.

The comms would then be nothing more than a gadget for today’s mission.

If he was right, this matter would be over in an hour or two, and he would take back the comms.

More than that, he couldn’t let the comms technology leak out.

After finding Harrison, there was much less for Luke to worry about.

Now, all he had to do was put on a show and let the Elsworth family dig its own grave in front of everybody.

Thinking that, he walked over to Dustin outside the E.R. and gave him a big bag.

Dustin asked, “What’s this?”

“A bulletproof vest, a helmet, and a weapon,” Luke said simply. “The people coming in won’t just stop on the first try.”

Dustin subconsciously reached for his phone. “I can call for backup…”

Luke grabbed his hand and said, “It’s too late. Within ten minutes of us getting here, suspicious people in the hospital already started spying on us. Calling the police in advance will only be delaying the attack, and won’t put an end to it altogether. Boss, we need to blow this matter up.”

Dustin eventually stopped reaching for his phone and frowned.
