Chapter 1251 - You’re Too Handsome, So Go Away

Chapter 1251: You’re Too Handsome, So Go Away

Even if Mario and Sandra worked diligently on their own ranch, they wouldn’t have too much of a surplus for the next year or two, since it would be thrown back into operating and expanding the ranch.

It would take at least five years for them to get to the level of earning 200,000 a year.

Even then, they would never earn as much as what Selina and Gold Nugget did.

Also, Selina and the dog head didn’t have to worry about laundering money. Luke took the dirty money and gave Selina dividends instead.

Unlike Luke, who had only been able to stash this dirty money in his inventory at the beginning, Selina had it much better.

But Luke wasn’t disappointed.

If he had laundered the money back then, he would have to think of a way now to turn legal funds into dirty money in order to pay his allies in South America and Europe.

Conveniently, he could use most of it with these people

After they got off the plane at Dallas Airport, they made a call. A few minutes later, a Benz G500 with a bulletproof front stopped in front of them.

A Caucasian man in his forties greeted them through the open window. “Luke, Selina, here.”

They greeted the man with smiles and said, “Hello, Tommy.” They then got into the car.

The Benz turned around and sped all the way back to Shackelford. The three of them chatted casually about their family.

The man called Tommy was Robert’s old comrade, and he was a little slow.

After returning home from the army, he found a few jobs, from security to doing odd jobs.

He had been a soldier for a long time and wasn’t good at interacting with people, so he was easily crowded out.

He had a boy and girl at home. His daughter was already in junior high, while his son was still in kindergarten. His wife was also a good person, and she wouldn’t let him go back to being a mercenary no matter what.

When it seemed like they wouldn’t be able to make ends meet, Robert contacted Tommy and offered him a lucrative job.

Tommy used to live in a small town in Texas, and after some consideration, the couple decided to move here.

Thanks to Robert, Tommy’s income could be considered quite generous, and his family’s life immediately changed.

Robert had also mentioned to several of his old comrades that it was his kid who had asked him to set up this private security company because he was worried about his family’s safety.

His old comrades weren’t here to fight; they were here to take care of security for Robert’s family, and in passing train employees of the security company.

Every day, Tommy and his old comrades trained the newbies, and they had drinks and played with guns after work. When he was free, he could take his children to the ranch to ride horses. He no longer had to smile obsequiously at strangers with bad tempers.

If not for Luke’s suggestion about setting up a private security company, Tommy would probably still be eating dirt, and wouldn’t be living such a relaxed and contented life.

So, when Tommy heard that Luke and Selina were coming back, he volunteered to pick them up at Dallas Airport.

He didn’t meet Luke and Selina often, but they got along quite well.

Luke and Selina were also considerate of Tommy’s guileless nature. The most they talked about were some embarrassing stories of Robert, and things like guns, cars and ranches.

These were common topics in Texas for which most people would never run out of things to say.

However, Tommy’s vocabulary was a little basic. His description of his family’s situation could be summarized as, “Good, very good, not bad, great” and so on.

Luke didn’t mind. In any case, they were just chatting, and he checked the system interface in passing.

In the system, Tommy was light green!

Luke relaxed.

The Benz returned to Shackelford just as the sun was about to set, and Luke and Selina went back to their own homes.

The next day was Saturday. Luke woke up early in the morning, and pulled Robert and Catherine into practicing the Kunlun Chi Refining technique.

Joseph, on the other hand, was sent to Selina’s place to play with her three siblings.

After teaching the couple for half a day, Luke sweated a little, and realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of practicing the Kunlun Chi Refining technique.

After a few hours, Robert and Catherine still hadn’t gotten the knack for it, and stared blankly at his explanation.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was very trustworthy, the couple would think he was crazy.

Now that Luke thought about it, it seemed Selina had listened to him go on for a few hours, and then… she succeeded.

He had clearly underestimated Selina’s talent.

But without a basic understanding of the Kunlun Chi Refining technique, a person couldn’t cultivate the strength of the dragon.

Luke could only brace himself as he taught this “blockheaded” couple.

After a long day, Robert’s mind was in a mess by the time they continued after dinner.

As a junior high school teacher, Catherine was very patient and good at communication and understanding.

Coupled with her love of art, which gave her a flexible mindset, she suddenly found an opportunity, and abruptly opened her eyes. “I… I think I feel that ‘chi’!”

Luke was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”

Catherine nodded in delight, but her expression suddenly froze. “…Wait, I think it’s gone now.”

Luke waved his hand. “Don’t worry. Once you’ve sensed it the first time, the second time won’t be as hard. Relax, take it slow. Hm, Robert, go a little further away.”

Stunned, Robert pointed at his nose. “Me? Go further away?”

Pondering for a few seconds, Luke decided to break his no-lying rule. “I’m worried that you’ll distract Catherine since you’re too handsome.”

“You…” Robert was lost for words.

If he retorted, wouldn’t that be admitting that he wasn’t handsome?! If he didn’t say anything, then he had to sit obediently on the side.

But his body had already made up its mind, and he decisively walked to the dining room. “I’m thirsty. I’ll get some water first.”

Luke said obsequiously, “No problem. Do you need beer? Maybe if you drink enough, you’ll be able to sense it.”

Robert: “Get lost!”

Catherine was amused.

Facts proved Luke right.

Half an hour later, Catherine indeed found the right state again.

This time, she wasn’t distracted. Instead, she followed Luke’s instructions unhurriedly and finally locked onto this small bit of “chi.”

While she hadn’t truly grasped it, she had taken the first step.

As long as she slowly familiarized herself with this feeling, it would only take her a few months to master the basics.

Luke stopped her and helped her sit down on the couch. Looking at her big belly, he said with a smile, “This will do. Before my youngest sister is born, cultivate once every three to five days. Just cultivate at the lowest level to preserve a sense of the ‘chi’.”

Catherine hesitated. “Will this affect Cindy?”

That was the name of the little life in her stomach, who was Luke’s unborn sister.
