Chapter 753: I Know Someone at the Top!

Chapter 753: I Know Someone at the Top!

When Dr. Banner received the message, he smiled bitterly and thanked Luke briefly.

Unlike what Luke had imagined, that Dr. Banner had been in a hurry to return to his laboratory to continue his work, the doctor had been on break recently as the laboratory had stopped operating due to a lack of funding.

Since he had been forced to take a break, he came back to Los Angeles to look for his old school friend to see if they could give him some inspiration.

Putting down his phone, Dr. Banner sat on a wooden bench inside the college and mumbled, “The experiment isn’t going anywhere. I just wanted to have a heart-to-heart chat with Jennifer, but she was severely injured and hospitalized. Has my luck been so bad recently that I implicated Jennifer?”

In fact, the old friend whom he had arranged to meet today suddenly said that he had something urgent to attend to, and would only be here later.

The doctor, who had huge doubts about his blood, could only stare blankly at the clear sky.

…

After getting rid of the Elsworth family that he had long held a grudge against, Luke finally relaxed.

Luke and Selina’s work hours were cut down a little, and they went home at 4pm every day.

The new skills which Luke had acquired from Tony Stark recently had to be put to good use on the new armor.

Selina and Gold Nugget’s equipment also had to be slowly modified.

Luke even stopped with his personal hobby — repairing and replicating old machines — for the time being.

Apart from regular training, he spent the rest of his time immersed in the knowledge of these new skills.

Generally speaking, there were several clear milestones related to Tony Stark’s skills.

The first and most important one was naturally the appearance of the metal armor.

This meant that Tony had finally started to become a superhero in terms of strength — of course, that was only in terms of strength; as far as his mindset was concerned, he was still far from being a superhero.

But this didn’t have an impact on Tony’s big brain, which was like a tech whiz cheat. He was inspired endlessly as he resolved all sorts of major problems in making and using the armor.

The reason why Luke was able to create the Terminator armor and the Beast armor so easily was because Tony had done a lot of research when it came to solving the problems with his own armor, and he had personally tested the products many times.

Tony had verified that most of these things couldn’t be applied to his metal armor.

But Luke wasn’t making metal armor, so he could use them.

Tony barely leaked anything about the metal armor, but Luke wasn’t bothered.

In any case, he would only sell low-end products like what he had given Damon and Mindy.

Of course, if he really dared supply them with top-grade armor, it wouldn’t take more than three days for the father and daughter pair to be sent to certain secret agencies for interrogation.

Thus, low- to mid-range products could still be of some use. They weren’t easily coveted, and were cheap and abundant.

Damon and Mindy could buy two sets with half a million dollars, and they even came with small accessories.

The only thing he had done when he was free in the last few days was to use the remaining components to assemble three unbranded smartphones.

He, Selina and Claire each had one.

The three of them were supposed to meet at a small park in the area where Claire was on duty, for Luke to pass her the phone and have lunch together.

Selina had already used her fake phone before, and naturally knew what this so-called prototype was like.

The little monkey had no idea, however. She fiddled with the phone excitedly for a while before she suddenly realized that something wasn’t right. “Huh? Why isn’t there a logo on this phone? Isn’t it a Titanium phone?”

Luke made a shushing gesture and said in a low voice, “Come closer. I’ll tell you.”

Then, he whispered in her ear, “I know someone at the top in the Titanium phone company! Keep it to yourself, otherwise, if everyone else asks you to get a prototype for them, what will you do?”

The little monkey nodded quickly. Many of her classmates at the police academy were looking for a way to get their hands on a Titanium phone beforehand.

The Titanium phones hadn’t officially been released yet. At the moment, only test models had been sent to some celebrities. For example, Sheerah had a unique rose gold model.

What Luke gave the little monkey was a polar light blue model which wouldn’t be released for years. Furthermore, it was the most unique one of that range.

Selina had gotten amber red, which similarly was the only one of its kind.

Luke himself was using the most common and unremarkable black.

After being tricked by Luke, the little monkey excitedly took a few pictures and a few short videos before she remembered something. She waved at Luke and gestured for him to lean in.

“Since you have a connection with an executive of the Titanium phones, then do you know Sheerah?” Claire asked.

Luke found that odd. “How do you know that I know her?”

Claire’s eyes lit up. “Are you very familiar with her?”

Luke nodded casually. “Not bad. I have her personal number, at least.”

Claire was immediately excited.

It was easy to suss out the phone number of a regular person.

But celebrities and bigshots were different. Most people could only get their office lines, and when they called, it would be their assistants or secretaries who answered.

The fact that Luke had gotten Sheerah’s personal number meant that they were close.

“Luke!” Claire grabbed his shoulders and shook him.

It was a little difficult for her to do so with her petite figure, and it was quite funny.

Luke said, “Just tell me what you want.”

Claire ventured, “Well, I’m a loyal fan of Sheerah…”

Luke immediately raised his hand. “Stop! I grew up with you. You’ve never played any of her songs.”

Claire was shocked. “How… did you know? You don’t really listen to music, do you? You even said the songs I like are too noisy.”

Luke snorted. “But I remember Sheerah’s voice. She’s not a rock singer. Why would you listen to her?”

Claire chuckled and scratched her head. “It’s only recently that I…”

She saw his “I’ll just watch you make it up” expression. Finally, she stopped trying and confessed, “Fine. Actually, I only like her latest single, ‘Kiss From a Rose.’ It’s a love song she wrote for Batman.”

Luke was confused. “Huh? What love song?”

Selina couldn’t help but interject, “You can’t be that dense, right? This song was released the day of The Colin Show, and it’s now the top song on the charts.”

Luke: “…”

He really hadn’t noticed.

He was busy working cases in the morning, modifying the armor in the afternoon, and conducting experiments in the evening. Whenever he had the chance, he would arrange with Selina to go out and fight the gangsters.

He was too busy to listen to music.

Claire’s mouth dropped open, and it took her a long time to accept the truth. “I always thought that you just didn’t like rock music, but now I know that you don’t like pop either. Don’t tell me that you like classical music.”

Luke coughed and said, “Classical music isn’t my cup of tea. Rock music is fine, but I think what you’re listening to is… average.”

Claire was shocked again. “What? Excuse me?”
