Luke talked to the man in the suit who was in charge of construction and obtained the right to use five makeshift units.
There wasn’t anything for the man to be unhappy about.
For this big business, he had brought enough materials and manpower with him, and had also brought the materials to set up some makeshift operation units as was standard practice.
But when he got the blueprint, he realized that it was a super simple job. It couldn’t even be considered an engineering project, and would be completed by nightfall.
As was his habit, however, he still set up some operation units. At the very least, everyone needed a place to drink water and rest for a while.
Apart from one unit which was used as an office, he wasn’t using the rest.
If the big boss who was paying him wanted to use them, so be it. In any case, it didn’t make a difference.
Jane and Selvig soon went inside to discuss their next move, leaving Darcy to look after Thor in the jeep.
Thinking quickly, Luke picked up his backpack and bottles of water from the backseat of his car. He walked over to Darcy and said, “You may have to stay here for a while. Here are some snacks and mineral water for you.”
Stunned, Darcy watched him put the bag of snacks and the water in the back of the jeep before she came back to her senses. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish this.”
Luke stared blankly, then pondered for a few seconds. “Dr. Selvig and Dr. Jane also need to eat and drink, right?”
Darcy finally reacted.
She felt that Luke had specially delivered these things to her, but it wasn’t nice to say it out loud, so he could only use someone else’s name.
She nodded quickly. “Yes, yes. Thank you very much.”
Luke asked politely, “Can I have your number?”
Darcy: “Oh, of course. If you hadn’t said anything, I would have asked for yours first.”
Luke: “Huh?”
Darcy covered her mouth and laughed. “Haha, I was going to give it to… hahahaha.”
She was so cute.
A moment later, Selina curled her lip when she saw Darcy waving goodbye in the rearview mirror. “Leading the way, delivering snacks, and asking for contact details – aren’t you a little too smooth at this? Also, it seems your focus was on the area below her neck and above her stomach.”
Luke said, “Anyone would subconsciously focus on such an outstanding trait. Between an ordinary person and a bodybuilder, don’t tell me you wouldn’t focus on the bodybuilder?”
Selina was speechless. She could be considered half a fan of muscles; she naturally wouldn’t be interested in any regular person.
“Also, she’s a crazy F2F fan.” Luke concentrated on driving.
Selina: “Huh?”
Luke said, “As a matter of fact, she’s a travel blogger. After she got F2F, she moved her travel blog to F2F.”
Selina got it. “So, you only need to look at the pictures she uploads to know their movements?”
Luke hummed in response and said, “Although I can monitor them with drones, I can’t put surveillance cameras in their rooms. Asking outright would be faster.”
Selina looked at him suspiciously. “Won’t remote radio work?”
Luke chuckled. “Do you not understand what’s going on between Dr. Jane and Thor? I don’t want to hear that.”
Selina was lost for words.
Hearing what went on in private between a man and a woman wasn’t a big deal, but eavesdropping when you knew you would hear it was truly wretched behavior.
These people weren’t criminals who had committed heinous crimes, and Luke had made ample preparations, so there was no need to keep them under constant surveillance.
Thinking that, Selina dropped the topic.
In fact, she was under a lot of pressure in the face of a freshman like Darcy.
This freshman was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but her strength as an F-cup player could instantly crush the advantage which Selina had always been proud of.
This was an extremely rare situation.
Also, this wasn’t Darcy’s only strength.
She was at Yale, and had excellent looks. Although she was occasionally scatter-brained, she was still quite lively. She had curves, but she wasn’t fat. She was quite outstanding overall.
So, when she saw Luke and Darcy getting close, she couldn’t help but tease him.
But that was it.
A certain person had a sense of propriety and wouldn’t try anything in a tense situation like this.
Luke didn’t hide much from her. She had enough strength and qualifications to know about the world of the extraordinary, so he naturally didn’t hide the “possible” origin of the hammer.
Selina herself had also observed Thor for a time, especially his physique.
In this respect, she and Luke were actually the same, in that they paid more attention to the outstanding qualities of the opposite sex.
After Selina was done with her own things, Luke left her in charge of the information center.
He also gave Darcy’s number to Selina so that she could contact Darcy and send over food, water, and daily necessities.
Selina didn’t understand the reason for this.
Luke, however, had a solemn expression on his face as he pointed at Thor’s photo on the screen. “The others don’t matter, but don’t let this Thor enter Shackelford.”
Selina: “Huh?”
Luke said, “Do you think I gave those things to them because of Darcy? Hmph, it’s because I don’t want Thor, this troublesome person, to get close to Shackelford.”
Looking at his expression, Selina finally chose to believe him.
He never lied to her when it came to proper business.
Luke wasn’t lying.
Now that he had Elementary Pheromone Control, he didn’t need to stick to a woman and send her things if he wanted to strike up a conversation.
After that, Luke went to Old Patrick’s gun store and talked to him for a long time.
Old Patrick shook his head at first, then hesitated for a moment before calling Robert.
After talking for a few minutes, he hung up the phone and looked at the big check in front of him. Gritting his teeth, he put the check into his cash register. “Fine, come with me. But don’t trick me. I’m counting on this store for my retirement.”
Luke just rolled his eyes. “Just become a police officer. At most, Robert will give you some preferential treatment. You just need to worry about the town’s security, it’s a walk in the park.”
Old Patrick snorted. “Don’t lie to me. Do you think I don’t know what kind of rotten things you have to deal with? It’s either a lover’s spat, angry neighbors, or sending those drunkards sleeping on the streets back home. I can’t stand that.”
Luke chuckled. “Actually, it’s because the salary isn’t enough for you to go to Knox City to look for a hookup!”
Patrick glared at him. “Nonsense. Do I need money? I’ve never failed with the ladies in the bars in Knox City.”
Luke smiled but didn’t say anything. Want to compete with me in attracting the ladies? You’re just an elementary school kid.
A moment later, Old Patrick and Luke were moving things back and forth between the storeroom and the back entrance of the gun store. Trolley after trolley of stuff was loaded onto the back of Robert’s F150.
Then, Patrick’s own pickup was loaded up and covered with a canvas sheet.
