Chapter 1607 A Fatherly Conversation
Luke, who had set himself up, still felt a little bummed, so he doubled the training of the three girls.
Even if it was his loss, he couldn’t let the people who took advantage of him get too comfortable.
Stacy had to undergo special training to begin with. What if she became a burden to Claire someday?
The three girls had no opinions about V’s temporary increase in training. At most, they just grumbled.
It had only been a year since they had gone from drifting around homeless to safety and security, and even wealth and freedom.
They had already learned to differentiate between good and bad.
Also, what Luke did “for their own good” was just to increase their own abilities, while they could make their own decisions regarding their personal lives and future plans.
For kids all over the world, that was good enough.
The three sisters were now in the entertainment circle and knew how wretched it could be for female celebrities.
For a girl who wanted to become famous or had just become famous, they had to eat, train and follow the itinerary arranged for them – they were completely tools.
Once they made a name for themselves and were able to push back against their managers and companies, many would suddenly gain weight and look bloated and listless.
That was the result of suddenly indulging after being under strict control for so long. America was also a country overflowing with illegal drugs. Many celebrities fell over this and never got up again.
However, the overwhelming majority of people would have failed from the beginning, just like the web novelists at the bottom in Luke’s previous life. Nobody even knew their names.
The three girls, on the other hand, had golden spoons in the entertainment industry.
They weren’t short of money, and how they developed was up to them.
Except for the fact that training was really hard, they had it much easier than other celebrities.
Most of the time, happiness came from comparing yourself with others.
It was hard for them not to feel happy as they watched and listened to what upcoming celebrities and small stars had to go through.
A singer in the same company had once cursed Stephanie and said, “Your parents are rich and have resources. The children of the rich don’t know how ordinary people like us have to live.”
That was right, the other party felt that Stephanie was treated like the rich “heiress” of the entertainment company.
Sugar daddies in the entertainment industry wouldn’t be that nice to their daughters.
Just one or two setbacks would be enough for them to stop supporting their sugar babies.
In any case, there were too many beautiful girls in the circle who were willing to become sugar babies; there was no need for sugar daddies to spend so much on supporting those who couldn’t amount to anything.
So, at the start of the super intense training, the three girls were genuinely happy to see V. Mental Communication was very clear on this point.
This time, Luke finally revealed his face.
V’s face, which belonged to Agent Smith, had already been revealed in Weasel’s bar. Dozens of hitmen had already seen it – it wasn’t a secret.
With how Luke was now, he didn’t have to worry too much.
The three girls were a little disappointed in V’s looks.
But they were absolutely convinced by Agent Smith’s aura.
As long as he narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips, that face would make them as obedient as quails.
It was like being in front of a teacher or an elder.
The three girls had privately agreed before that V was definitely an old-fashioned and solemn middle-aged man.
So, there were basically only two ways the feeling would go: If he wasn’t a parent, then he was a grandparent.
When V revealed his face this time, the three girls were slightly relieved, even if he wasn’t handsome.
An elderly look made the generation gap very clear.
Two days later, Luke told the twins to get some rest after training, and he had Stacy stay back.
The twins were very curious, but they left obediently, leaving Luke and Stacy to face each other in the underground training room. After the training room door was completely shut, Luke said, “You’re in a relationship.”
Stacy was stunned. “You…”
Luke waved his hand. “This information isn’t from you. I’ll tell you part of the situation later.”
Stacy settled again.
She had complicated feelings for V — it wasn’t a matter of pure like or dislike.
At first, she had thought that the other party was a demon, and was as vicious and terrifying as his “Wizard” nickname.
But as her mental state improved and her life became more and more stable, the girls were happy, and things were very different from what she had expected.
This disparity gave rise to a huge amount of happiness, and her feelings for V were naturally born.
Now that V suddenly mentioned that she was in a relationship, Stacy felt guilty for one moment, as if she were a high-schooler who had been caught dating.
Luke wasn’t here to scare her. His time was precious.
If the person Stacy liked wasn’t Claire, he wouldn’t even bother mentioning it. He gestured, and they sat down on chairs nearby. “I’ve never interfered with your private lives, but there are some exceptions.”
Pausing for a moment and seeing that she didn’t say anything, Luke continued, “Now, you have two choices. First, become a peripheral member of our team. Second, continue living your life.”
Stacy was stunned. “Why?”
mo
Luke said, “Let me finish first. If you choose to become a peripheral member, you will require more specialized training. It will be very different from your current training, and you’ll have to keep what you know completely confidential, including from Stephanie and Artemis. If you choose the second option, things will continue like before, but when something happens, you will be excluded from any involvement.”
Seeing that he wasn’t going to say anything else, Stacy asked, “Why?”
Luke said, “Because you ran into someone with a sensitive identity.”
Stunned for a moment, Stacy’s face went through a series of expressions before she said, “Claire?”
Luke nodded. “Yes. When you’re with her, the first thing you need to do is ensure that you won’t die for no reason one day.”
Stacy, however, grew suspicious. “But she’s… not like us?”
She couldn’t help but look at Luke.
Luke understood what she meant. “She’s not like me. Are you like me? Anyone else in a similar situation who wants to date you would also be told.”
Stacy found it hard to believe. “Isn’t this… too much?”
Luke chuckled. “If you were an ordinary person, we would keep the two of you away from this circle. After all, ordinary people don’t have the ability to protect themselves.”
Stacy was speechless. She wasn’t an ordinary person, and neither was Claire.
Ordinary girls didn’t have the ability to take down a dozen hoodlums without getting hurt. She could do it, and so could Claire.
However, Claire said that her father and brother had trained her since she was young.
Stacy hadn’t pursued the matter. They didn’t rely on fighting to make a living, so there was no need to pursue it.
She also knew that Claire’s detective brother was really good.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and Stacy was silent for a long while.
Luke didn’t hurry her. He simply closed his eyes to rest. Both his main body and his Level 1 clone were busy. It would be good for this Level 2 clone to rest for a while.
