Chapter 1495: New Prisoners and Abilities He Didn’t Dare Learn
Sighing, Luke got to work.
He couldn’t leave the toxic, corrosive fluid here; it would be bad if it got someone else killed.
Secondly, he would also be cleaning up any traces at the scene.
It didn’t matter which side Claudia and Hodge were on, or if they had been operating on their own; cleaning up the scene would prevent anyone else from investigating.
This wasn’t a small undertaking.
He cleaned for almost an hour, and a large part of the ground was dug up. Only then was the place cleaned up neatly, leaving behind uneven ground.
That didn’t matter.
The weather in La Paz was nice, and it wouldn’t be long before weeds grew again to cover everything.
Washing away the mud and toxin residue in the ocean, Luke walked into the villa and soon found the nervous-looking cartel leader, Alfredo.
He hadn’t died earlier, but had been told to hide here by Claudia.
He had been very obedient and waited for everything outside to end.
Luke felt that this man didn’t look like a cartel bigshot, but more like a handyman.
Too lazy to talk to him, he simply shot him with a paralysis bullet before throwing the bigshot into Space 2.
After searching the room, Luke took the man’s phone and a box of cash, then left and headed south for Columbia.
He had taken a bunch of secret cash stashes and caught two superhumans. The people behind the scenes would probably go crazy.
So, hopping around was a good choice.
When he arrived in Columbia, he wouldn’t use this sort of purge strategy anymore. He would just take things slow.
In the last few years, Mexico had replaced Columbia as the world’s number one drug trafficker, but there were also plenty of points to be earned from Columbia.
Luke wouldn’t refuse them.
As his Level 1 clone headed south, Luke began to check his gains.
There were now four cells in Space 2. Black Sky, Claudia, Hodge and the cartel bigshot were in one each.
If these people were locked up together, the bigshot Carter would definitely be the first to die. Who knew what the other three nonhumans would do?
Drugs and hypnosis were basically useless on these three nonhumans, and the effects of mental attacks and Pheromone Control weren’t obvious.
It might take a while to dig out information from the two newcomers.
But as long as they had entered Space 2, they could only either commit suicide or spill whatever they knew.
Half a day later, the bigshot Alfredo, who had confessed everything, turned into experience and credit points which amounted to 350,000.
As for sandman Hodge’s list of abilities, there was nothing surprising about it: Sand Transformation (unavailable), Stone Transformation (unavailable), and Sand and Stone Control (unavailable).
After a few glances, Luke no longer cared about this guy, and looked at Claudia’s list of abilities instead.
Claudia’s abilities: Basic Botany, Basic Biology, Elementary Plant Transformation (partially available), Elementary Plant Symbiosis (partially available), Elementary Toxin Resistance (partially available), Elementary Toxin Manufacturing (unavailable).
After thinking for a moment, Luke decisively ruled out Elementary Plant Transformation.
Putting aside the fact that his body might become as hard as wood, what if his hair turned plant-colored? He didn’t want to grow grass on his head.
By the same logic, he quickly ruled out Elementary Plant Symbiosis.
Compared with Plant Symbiosis, he had an alien dog head at home that was much more reliable.
In the end, he chose to learn three abilities, namely Botany, Biology, and Elementary Toxin Resistance. As for the other abilities, he would study Claudia first.
After learning Toxin Resistance, the Level 2 clone in the villa took out a gun and shot itself with a special paralysis bullet.
After testing the bullet with its body, the clone immediately did a physical exercise test, from walking to running and then punching.
A few minutes later, Luke set off two stun grenades.
This time, the clone’s movements clearly slowed down, but it returned to normal 30 seconds later.
Stopping this crude and simple experiment, Luke nodded thoughtfully. “Toxin Resistance seems pretty good. At the very least, it’ll give me some time to deal with the toxin.”
If it were before, it would’ve been hard for him to move immediately after being hit by his special paralysis bullet, and he would’ve been frozen for two seconds after being hit with two stun grenades; a full recovery would’ve taken three minutes.
This special ability made up for this shortcoming; not letting the two nonhumans run away had been the right choice.
According to the last words of the cartel boss, Alfredo, Claudia had appeared two years ago and used poison to control him.
All of Alfredo’s assets and his revenue from the last two years basically fell into Claudia’s hands.
In the last two years, Alfredo’s business had increased by 400%.
His goods always entered the United States easily. The Mexican cartels that wanted to make trouble for him either fell ill or died in accidents.
Claudia, however, told him that it was she and Hodge who had taken care of these enemies.
If Alfredo didn’t want to die like they had, he would be obedient.
What else could he do?
Although he had lost a lot, he still had money to spend on girls. When Claudia allowed him to go out, he continued to maintain the air of a cartel bigshot.
Nobody else felt that there was anything different about him.
He also earned the nickname “Lucky Alfredo,” because he had inexplicably survived several crises.
Whether it was his two-timing nephew or a rival encroaching on his territory, they inexplicably fell ill and died before they could do anything, and Alfredo even found an opportunity to hit back.
In truth, it was Claudia who stipulated how much “Lucky Alfredo” could spend.
The volume of goods sold skyrocketed in the last two years, and the extra money from them had nothing to do with him at all.
He had no idea where Claudia put the money.
To put it simply, except for the fact that he had done too many bad things as a drug trafficker and had given Luke 350,000 experience and credit points, as well as the information on his subordinates, he didn’t have even a single dime on him.
Claudia was the cartel’s boss and accountant.
The so-called “favorite woman” was just a cover; Alredo didn’t even dare touch Claudia’s finger.
How many men could be unrepentant in the face of a woman who could poison them at any time?
Claudia and Hodge were always together, even when they went out.
To the outside world, Hodge was Alfredo’s most trusted bodyguard who exclusively protected the boss’s “favorite woman.”
Luke had no sympathy for Alfredo at all.
350,000 experience and credit points was enough to prove how ruthless he was. He had gotten his just desserts after being tortured by Claudia for two years.
Now that the harvest in Mexico was over, Luke finally had time to fix up his own little nest..
