Luke was in no rush. He even gave Selina a carton of milk so that she wouldn’t choke.
He then gestured for Gold Nugget to hide in a corner under the desk, and snuck it some sandwiches from the box.
Gold Nugget was clearly starving. At home, the dog could find food and snacks at any time.
But there weren’t even any potato chip crumbs at Elizabeth’s place last night.
Seeing how it protected Selina so diligently, Luke gave the dog five more crab sandwiches.
After the two gluttons finished half of the sandwiches in the food box, Luke got up and said, “Let’s go. Time to work.” Wiping her hands, Selina asked, “What is it?” Luke said, “Let’s talk outside.”
Standing next to the road in front of the police department with Luke, Selina found it strange. “Are we waiting for someone?”
Luke nodded. “Be a good boy, Dollar.”
Dollar barked to show that it understood.
At that moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove up and stopped in front of them.
Happy opened the door.
After the two people and the dog got into the car, Happy gave Dollar a strange look. “You take your police dog everywhere with you?” Luke chuckled. “No, it’s family. Dollar, say hello to Happy.”
Dollar barked at Happy and then lay down obediently.
Even the usually stiff-faced Happy couldn’t help smiling as he waved at Dollar. He clearly liked dogs, particularly the obedient ones.
During the journey, Happy gave them a brief explanation of what Luke and Selina needed to pay attention to when they met Stark, and for the first time, he gave them his personal card.
After Happy was done, Luke said with a smile, “I’ll be going in on my own. Selina and Dollar will wait for me outside.”
Happy found that odd, but still nodded his head. He couldn’t help recalling what happened between his boss and Luke when Selina was around the last few times.
So, are you taking precautions?
Selina had no objections about the arrangement.
Her attitude toward Stark was neutral, and she wasn’t very interested in meeting him.
Luke was clearly going to talk about some secret thing. Furthermore, Dollar wouldn’t pass the security check at Stark’s private villa; it would be troublesome if any anomalies were detected.
Thus, she had the car stop several hundred meters away from the villa. Picking up the food box, she took Dollar with her to the beach to play.
Quietly observing this, Happy felt that this scene was somehow familiar.
After entering Tony Stark’s villa, Luke looked around with great interest.
His movements weren’t exaggerated, and it was only a casual sweeping glance.
Taking an elevator down five levels, Luke found himself in a crude laboratory.
It was crude because it had clearly just been refurbished with special insulating materials.
Luke already had no signal on his phone here.
Happy stood at the door silently and didn’t walk in. He simply gestured at Luke to enter.
Passing through two glass doors, Luke entered the central area of the lab.
Though it was the central area, it only had two very simple workbenches, each of which had an item on it.
Tony Stark had just compressed a bright light screen into a dot before flicking it away.
Seeing Luke, he asked right away, “Alright, Mr. Luke, this place is completely secure. Can you tell me now where you got these things?” Luke chuckled. “From aliens, of course.”
Tony snorted.
As the leader of a super weapons corporation, he had naturally encountered this sort of thing quite a number of times, so he wasn’t very surprised.
“These two items are quite technologically advanced,” he said and pointed at the short, small and thick item. “This one, in particular, should be an energy weapon.”
He then pointed at the double-headed spear. “As for this weapon, it’s also made of special raw materials. As for the collapsible function, we can currently make something similar.”
Luke nodded in agreement. Tony looked at him. “Now, name your price. I’ll buy them.”
Luke chuckled and said, “I want the technology and materials. For example, the material composition of the spear, or the technology to build that alien firearm.”
Tony looked him up and down with a strange expression. “Do you think they’re worth it?”
Luke shrugged. “That’s what I want. Feel free to make a counter-offer.”
Tony snorted. A counter-offer? He was too lazy to do that.
“These two items are a little interesting, but only a little. I don’t have the time to study them or figure out how they’re made. So, you can take them back, or accept my proposal.”
Pondering for a moment, Luke said, “Okay, I accept your proposal.”
Tony was a little startled. “You’re not going to ask how much?”
Luke chuckled. “It’s fine, I’m easily satisfied.”
Tony smacked his lips, as if he hadn’t expected that response. He could only nod. “Okay, you can go now. The money will be transferred to your account.”
“Okay, bye.” Formalities over, Luke turned around and left.
Stark opened up the light screen again, but he glanced at Luke’s back and felt it was strange; Luke seemed even busier than him.
Outside the villa, Luke declined Happy’s offer to escort him back and said that he only needed a driver.
Happy didn’t insist, and agreed with the arrangement.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom picked up Luke and the two gluttons who had finished eating on the beach and returned to the city.
Back at the police department, they drove their own car out.
Before Luke said anything, Selina opened her mouth first. “Claire just called me. She’s coming the day after tomorrow.”
Stunned for a moment, Luke slapped his forehead. “Right, she said she was coming to L.A. beforehand to check out USC.”
“Why didn’t she call me?” As soon as he asked the question, he understood. “I didn’t have a signal in Tony’s place.
Selina was a little envious. “She’s much smarter than I am. With just a little bit of effort, she can get into USC.”Luke couldn’t argue with that.
Claire had always been a smart kid. In middle school, most of her energy had gone into activities like cheerleading, camping, skateboarding, dancing, singing, playing in a band and so on, and she hadn’t devoted as much time to her studies.
But even then, her grades were always above average.
With a little bit of effort, she would be in the top tier. If she slacked off a little, she was still a second-tier student.
After the last trip to Los Angeles, thanks to Catherine’s covert encouragement, she worked hard in the last few months and was accepted by USC.
Luke had been happy about this result before.
But now… he was thinking about persuading Claire to go to a university in Houston.
Fine, he was kidding.
