Now, Raman was still the major shareholder who controlled the pharmaceutical company, which surprised Luke.
But on second thought, given Simon’s abilities, he didn’t need Raman’s company.
Moreover, after studying the history of the company’s development, Luke discovered that its two most important mergers and acquisitions had gone smoothly. The company had easily obtained two pretty effective drugs, which helped it to expand quickly.
Come to think of it, it wasn’t that Raman had made Simon a rich successor, but that Simon chose to turn Raman into a rich predecessor.
It was hard to say who had the upper hand.
The results of the investigation made Luke even more wary of Simon.
It was likely that this opponent was a freak who knew how to dig pits for other people at a young age. It was possible that he had manipulated the marriage between his stepfather and his mother for his own protection.
Now, Raman was still the boss of that pretty successful pharmaceutical company.
When Simon escaped from King’s Park Sanatorium, nobody had anything on him. It could be said that he had “mysteriously disappeared” under the surveillance of New ARGUS.
Strictly speaking, New ARGUS had to give Raman and his wife an explanation for why their son had suddenly gone missing.
New ARGUS didn’t dare act recklessly.
Raman was no longer someone who could be dealt with casually; it would be hard to hide the fact that they had wiped out the entire family after losing the son.
It would be very difficult for New ARGUS to look for sponsors in the future.
Besides, the missing mysterious Simon was still hiding in the dark. Anyone who made a move against Raman and his wife was courting death if they didn’t catch Simon.
Simon alone had enough research to drag a lot of people from New ARGUS down with him.
Even if the investors were fine, losing a billion dollars would be just a matter of minutes.
Worst of all, who knew whom Simon was possessing? Raman had a hundred ways to provide Simon with funds and help. In any case, nobody knew who Simon was.
Thinking about it, Luke felt this M.O. seemed a little familiar. Hm, is this guy copying me? I really want to beat him up.
After figuring out Simon’s background, Luke felt that the Clown had to take action.
He really wouldn’t be at ease leaving this to someone else.
Nobody could guarantee that they could deal with a ghost like Simon.
If Batman pissed Simon off, this guy could start with Tony.
If not Tony, there was Pepper, and if not Pepper, there was Happy.
Luke didn’t think that a superhuman who could arrange everything for his mother and stepfather at the age of six would have much of a moral bottom line.
…
The detective agency got off to a good start. Although it didn’t earn a single cent, Luke was very satisfied.
But there was no such good thing for the next few days.
After sorting out the PDD and the Justice League, the new director relaxed.
She had been following up on this job and knew everything about it. She couldn’t help but suggest, “Why don’t we find a few new clients?”
Luke took a bite of the mutton skewer he was holding and felt the tender flesh give way in his mouth. He said sadly, “Dream on. Do you think just anyone can run into a monster like Simon?”
Selina thought for a moment and sighed. “That’s true.”
But then she came back to her senses. “Wait, of course it’s not easy to run into Simon just given the few people we know. So, we need clients first, right?”
The two of them had been gone for a long while. Those they weren’t especially familiar with would at most contact them over the phone. Of course they wouldn’t get commissions if they couldn’t meet in person.
Luke’s expression, however, was still gloomy. “Even if we take the initiative to accept jobs, where do you think we can get a suitable one?”
Selina was lost for words.
A moment later, she took a big bite of her crispy grilled fish. “I’ll go through all the intelligence in the world. I don’t believe I can’t dig out potential clients.”
Luke’s heart skipped a beat. Are you kidding?
Because of Simon, he and his two clones were busy.
If Selina dug out potential clients, how much busier would they be?
However, he relaxed after that. It wasn’t that easy to find a suitable client.
In any case, they would cross that bridge when they got there. At most, he would recall his Level 1 clone, who had been keeping a very close eye on Haley.
It was less and less likely that Simon would look for the female doctor, and Luke had already set a trap. It wasn’t a big deal to stop watching the doctor go on midnight swims for a few days.
Just when Luke thought he would continue messing with tech at home for a while, Joseph let him know a piece of good news.
This little brother was coming to New York for high school, and to Dalton High School at that.
Hearing his brother’s voice, Luke suddenly asked, “Do you want to be classmates with Mindy?”
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line.
After a few seconds, Joseph said calmly, “Yes.”
Luke snorted. “Did she hit you silly during summer vacation?”
After a brief silence, Joseph replied, “Actually, I’m very smart.”
Luke said, “…No matter how smart you are, you can’t fool me. Tell me, how did you make Catherine agree?”
Hearing that, Joseph knew that Luke didn’t plan to pursue the matter about him and Mindy, and quickly got down to business.
It wasn’t complicated.
Joseph had a goal since last summer. He passed the school entrance test for Dalton Junior High, and then “negotiated” with Catherine over an invitation issued by the school.
As for Robert, forget it – a certain brat was afraid of being beaten up by his irascible father.
Even if it was just a token spanking, that was too humiliating for Joseph, who had vowed to grow up quickly.
Joseph had proven that continuing with primary school was a waste of his time.
In the end, he even said that Luke as his big brother would be his guardian. In any case, Luke didn’t have a job right now.
Robert and Catherine naturally knew that Luke and Selina were traveling the world, and couldn’t say anything in response to that.
They were unwilling to stint on their children’s education.
Even though they had wanted Luke to become a police officer in Shackelford back then, and Robert had even quarreled with Luke several times over it, they had still prepared school fees in advance.
Now, the family only needed to be responsible for just Joseph’s school expenses, and there indeed were better options.
They had never told Luke about it because they were worried he would also cover his little brother’s school fees.
This was what Robert couldn’t stand the most.
He had only covered one year of school fees for Claire and nothing more; this was a serious challenge to his position as the head of the family.
It wasn’t until Joseph was about to enter school and the family was about to set out that Luke got the news.
Pondering for a moment, Luke said, “Okay, I’ll keep an eye on you.” With that, he hung up.
On the other end of the line, Joseph was stunned for a moment. His back felt a little cold, and he couldn’t help but murmur, “Don’t tell me Luke is waiting for Mom and Dad to come back before he deals with me slowly?”
It was a vain guess.
Luke had always respected his family’s freedom to choose. How could he deal with his little brother like that?
He would just “properly” groom his dear brother so that he could make something of himself sooner.
After all, if incompetent people got close to Mindy, they might die.
Before that, he had to figure out what Mindy and his little brother were up to.
