Chapter 1349: Relocation, Evacuation, and Preparation

Chapter 1349: Relocation, Evacuation, and Preparation

Luke didn’t know what uncouth thoughts Wade had, otherwise… he would still have gotten Claire to take action tonight.

There was nothing good about saving Wade, but at the very least, there was no rush.

In any case, that guy had a strong self-healing ability. He had endured unimaginable torture when he was transformed, and was practically immune to pain.

However, his wife, Vanessa, was really a nice person. She hadn’t abandoned this dog face, and continued being sweet with him. She was truly one of a kind.

Secondly, Carol and Lorna couldn’t be caught.

These were his backup teammates.

Carol was a little weak combat-wise, but this had never been a problem for Luke. The most important question now was whether or not she could become a teammate.

Lorna was the exact opposite. Her abilities were very practical, and Luke didn’t mind investing in her beforehand.

Finally, he could also test Claire’s views on a career as a “vigilante.”

From the looks of it, he had achieved his goal.

Neither Wade nor Carol and Lorna were caught.

Claire didn’t seem to reject the career of a vigilante, which had no prospects, but she was gentler than Selina.

Selina had broken the limbs of many knife-wielding hoodlums. In the face of these illegal armed troops tonight, she wouldn’t have minded killing them on the spot.

Claire, however, had no intention of killing anyone.

This was confirmed by Gold Nugget, and Luke had it do as Claire wanted.

Actually, he didn’t want his sister to enter the vigilante circle.

There was no choice when it came to Selina. In any case, being a police officer involved handling guns. He also needed a partner he trusted completely.

After Selina, he had never thought of training another female co-worker.

Elizabeth, for example, was worth grooming, but Luke had just started doing so before he felt that there was no need to drag her into it, so he gave up.

That was why Elizabeth had gotten shares in the gold mine and became a rich lady without needing to pay any sort of “price.”

Selina, on the other hand, was tied to him for the rest of her life. From hooligans to tough criminals, superhumans, and even alien creatures, she would have to fight alongside him.

Luke believed that even when facing the “gods” of Asgard, she would stand on his side without hesitation.

How could he not be satisfied with such a teammate?

Thinking that, Luke shook his head and collected his thoughts.

At that moment, he was in the basement while his clone had already put on the Bat suit and was on the long journey to Los Angeles.

If it was appropriate, he didn’t mind having Batman ferret out some secret agencies in Los Angeles and tear them apart in public.

However, there was no point. In the end, the unlucky ones would be whoever became the scapegoats.

But Luke hadn’t forgotten how Batman had been plotted against.

Even if Batman didn’t go after those secret agencies, would they let go of this “envoy of justice”?

Batman didn’t need to be too extreme, but it was normal for him to react a little.

If he didn’t fight back after being beaten up, some people would think that he was afraid of the authorities and had his hands tied.

If he tore off their masks and stepped on them in front of everybody, they would have to consider the consequences if they wanted to attack him in the future.

Since he had to hide his travel, his clone didn’t use the 2 Mach maximum cruise speed. Instead, he flew slowly at 600 kilometers per hour.

His clone went straight to sleep, and Alfred took control of the low-speed cruise.

Luke got busy.

He had to arrange for a few fake identities and hideouts, pay some shady people to get things done without revealing details, and monitor crime scenes and LAPD’s internal comms.

Last time, he had tracked down the people who had been chasing Carol and Lorna, and followed the trail to a Sentinel Services base, which he wiped out. He had definitely reaped a lot out of that operation.

He wondered if he would be able to find anything this time.

But he wasn’t in a hurry.

The truth was that there were a lot of people who deserved to die on his blacklist.

But most of these people were heavily guarded or part of important American departments.

Killing one or two of them was fine, but killing 10% of the people on his blacklist would lead to the rich and powerful in America working together to find the murderer.

These people had sh*t on their butts. If found out, a large number of people would be implicated, and the deaths of these few would definitely alert their accomplices.

The FBI, the CIA, and even SHIELD would all be mobilized.

Also, he hadn’t had a clone before, and had to do everything himself, which could easily make him a focus of suspicion.

Now that he had a clone, little detective Luke could conscientiously go to work every day; the best cover was taking things easy.

By the time his clone reached Los Angeles, it was already three in the morning.

Luke went to look for Carol and Lorna first. The two girls were different from Wade, who was a pro at courting death. He couldn’t leave them in the temporary safe house.

However, he didn’t use a familiar face when he sought them out. Using a different identity, he sent a photo and name of the alias to Carol’s phone so that the two girls would follow him.

The only thing he said was to not ask or say anything, and to just follow the arrangements and leave quietly.

The truth was that this wasn’t the extent of the girls’ problem.

Those combat soldiers had been carrying high-quality body cameras with wireless communication functions.

The faces of the two girls had already been sent to their bosses, which meant that these new identities which they had just gotten used to could only be erased.

After hypnotizing the two girls, Luke moved them to a motel, put the 2.0 version of the Thousand Faces System on them, and left quietly.

Ten minutes later, Carol and Lorna woke up and received Luke’s call.

As instructed, the two girls took new IDs and plane tickets and drove an RV south.

When they arrived in Phoenix, Arizona, they could use their new identities to fly out of the country to Peru.

Bloodmint would be waiting for them, and would smuggle them into Rio.

Things might blow up this time.

The two unlucky girls could only go abroad to hide.

He didn’t blame them.

Luke had always wanted them to live a normal life after their training, and becoming fans of a star wasn’t a big deal at all.

However, their luck was a little bad, and they were dragged into Wade’s problem at a fanmeet, which couldn’t be helped.

…

After sorting out the two girls, Luke picked up Wade and Vanessa.

He switched identities again, and also sent a photo and the name of the alias to Wade for confirmation before he took them with him.

He still only told them what was necessary and not a word more.

He had thought about giving them the Thousand Faces System previously, but hadn’t. Now, he finally did so.

Wade wanted what he had gotten before. Luke, who was playing the professional White Glove, simply said politely, “Given your reputation, I can give you a 50% discount.”

Hearing that, Wade suddenly had a bad feeling. “How much?”

Luke said, “Ten million dollars, or something of equal value.”
