Chapter 231 Hard, Black, Thick and Long Thing

Selina nodded in satisfaction. “That’s exactly what I want. Let’s have it tonight.”

Luke said, “No problem.”

Appeasing his partner with food, Luke drove the car into the police department’s parking lot.

They went to Elsa’s office and gave her the box of food they’d packed.

Elsa put the box in the bottommost drawer without looking at it. It was the special place for her food.

She needed to stash it first and eat it later, in case it attracted her colleagues like hungry wolves.

Elsa glared at Luke and said, “What have you done? You turned South Los Angeles upside down. Do you know what the news is saying? Some idiot reporters are saying that the police fought a hundred terrorists in the area and that there are countless casualties.”

Luke smiled, unconcerned. “Boss, why don’t you have food first, and we’ll talk later?”

Elsa said, “My stomach is cramping because of you. I can’t eat anything.”

Luke grinned and stopped talking. He hinted for Selina to finish the report.

Selina immediately stepped forward to explain what happened that morning and ease the tension.

Of course, they both knew that Elsa wasn’t really angry; she had to fake it, however, or she would be under a lot of pressure if Luke did something like this every other day.

As they talked, Selina opened Elsa’s big drawer and took out two cupcakes, one for herself and the other for Elsa. “I wasn’t full after lunch. I have to share your stock now, boss.”

Elsa could only roll her eyes. She realized that Selina was becoming more and more like Luke.

But she wasn’t really angry, as she wouldn’t have gotten any cupcakes if it wasn’t for Selina.

Also, it was Selina’s indirect reminder that Elsa should eat something since it was lunchtime.

As Elsa listened, she had the cupcake and also enjoyed the coffee which Luke made for her with the coffee machine outside.

After a long while, Selina finally finished explaining what happened in the morning as well as the aftermath.

After a long silence, Elsa wiped her lips with a napkin and nodded helplessly. “Fine, you did a good job, but try not to turn it into such a huge thing next time. Director Brad actually asked Dustin why we were doing Homeland Security’s job.”

Luke and Selina were both silent. They knew that Elsa and Dustin had to cover for them if they wanted a share of the credit for the case.

Rescuing Miss Jenny alone would already be very rewarding, and a lot of illegal items had been found in the gangsters’ nest.

The only problem right now were the media reports.

After the police department figured out everything and made sure that it was an accomplishment and not a mistake, it could hold a press conference, and the media’s attitude would change.

Elsa stopped acting cold toward Luke and Selina.

She believed that Luke could understand why she had acted the way she did. She said, “Alright, you can get some rest for now, but stay in touch. You have to come back if you’re needed for an investigation.”

Luke and Selina hurriedly declared their loyalty to Elsa again before they slipped away.

They had yet another holiday, although it was only a temporary one.

They couldn’t go back to work until this case was completely sorted out.

After leaving the police department, Selina stretched and said, “Ah, what a wonderful sunny day! Why don’t we take a bath at home? It’s been days since I used the bathtub in the backyard.”

Luke said, “Of course, but we have to buy you dinner first.”

Selina was confused. “Huh?”

“Have you forgotten the siu mei? Do you want to come out again after you go home?” asked Luke.

Selina shook her head quickly.

She would be crazy to want to leave the big bathtub in this sunshine after she got in.

Luke found a famous siu mei restaurant and all the food that Selina was interested in.

After they got back home, Selina enjoyed afternoon tea, the sunshine and the bathtub, and Luke went to the garage.

Taking out the half-completed trinkets and various components from his inventory, Luke worked carefully.

It wasn’t until Selina cried that she was starving that he finally stopped, satisfied, and looked at the two pistols that he had assembled.

One of them was an M1911 with a modified load and barrel. Luke had been using the gun for a long time as a vigilante since most gangsters had this gun.

His hands had grown larger after his Strength reached 40, and he had to modify the gun for a more comfortable grip.

The other gun was a revolver that was based on a Smith & Wesson M500.

The barrel of this gun had been lengthened slightly for increased accuracy and penetration.

Also, Luke had modified the surface of this revolver and covered it in matte so that it wasn’t as conspicuous.

He was quite satisfied with his work.

Luke liked this kind of hard, black, thick and long weapon the most, which might not look fancy, but could easily blow up the head of an enemy.

The bullets for the two guns were also tweaked so that they could hold more gunpowder.

This could significantly improve his combat ability and increase his options.

In the meantime, he had made the barrels of both guns himself, so there were no records of them at all.

While Luke appreciated his new masterpieces, Selina was already calling him darling in the sweetest voice.

He could only let himself be interrupted as he yelled back, “I’m coming. Just clean yourself up and be ready for dinner.”

Then, with a thought, the two guns disappeared and were stored in his inventory.

Putting the scraps in the garage into his inventory as well, Luke turned off the lights and left the garage.

He washed his hands and heated the siu mei which he bought at noon, before he made a salad and shouted out into the backyard, “Dinner’s ready!”

A moment later, Selina dashed into the house.
