Of course, this was all still speculation.

But Luke believed that he only needed to find a bad person to try and defeat instead of kill. By observing whether that person would become unlucky, Luke would be able to draw a conclusion.

Without bad luck, Robert’s efficiency increased.

After Luke’s fourth month in the force, he and Selina were called into Robert’s office.

After Luke shut the door, Robert picked up two documents on the desk and handed one to each of them.

Luke skimmed through the document and said in astonishment, “So fast?”

Selina was also astonished. “Westside Houston Police Department’s Major Crimes Division? Chief, how... how did you do this?”

Robert had a nonchalant expression. “Are both of you ready?”

Luke looked at Selina and asked, “You... you’re transferring to Houston as well?”

Selina grinned and said, “Why? Are you disappointed that you can’t get rid of me?”

Luke scratched his head. “No... I just don’t know if you really want to leave this place.”

Selina had an odd expression. “That’s Houston we’re talking about. It’s a large city. More importantly, the salary there is much higher than what we get here.”

That left Luke speechless.

Most people would want to go to a better workplace That was completely normal.

When the two were done talking, Robert said, “Ok. I don’t have much to say. When you’re there, do your best and don’t embarrass me and our department.”

Selina asked, “When are we going?”

Robert answered, “Any time you want, but no later than five days from now. We can’t keep your future superior waiting for long, can we?”

Selina laughed and said, “No problem. I can set off in three days,” before looking at Luke.

Luke hesitated slightly before nodding. “Sure, we’ll leave in three days.”

Without saying anything else, Robert waved his hand and told them to leave.

With their respective transfer orders, the two walked out of the department and got into their car.

Selina looked at the absent-minded Luke and asked, “What’s on your mind?”

The question caught Luke by surprise. He collected his thoughts and said, “Nothing. I just never expected Robert to get the transfer done so quickly.”

Selina nodded in agreement. “Yeah, when he told me to prepare, I thought it would take a few months or even half a year.”

Luke asked, “Does it normally take that long?”

Selina smiled. “If it’s a transfer as a normal police officer in charge of stuff like patrolling the streets, it only takes 10 days. But we’re being transferred to the Major Crimes Division! The salary there is higher than for regular police officers!”

Luke smiled and thought, “So it turns out you’re only thinking about the salary.”

A farewell party was held for them. Most of their colleagues weren’t jealous. After all, most of them had grown old as police officers in this town and weren’t too interested in going to a new place like Houston.

There were pros and cons in transferring to a bigger city. Working as a police officer there would be much more dangerous and much busier. The competition there would also be stiffer, resulting in more stress as well.

The work environment there was completely unlike here in town, where they rarely had to work overtime. As long as they were careful not to offend anyone, they could remain police officers for a long time.

In any case, Luke and Selina weren’t exactly being transferred purely on the strength of Robert’s connections.

The two had performed well during the Carlos Family operation.

Against an ambush of 10 attackers with AKs, they survived and eliminated all the attackers instead.

Even Selina, who hadn’t contributed as much as Luke, had still killed a gunman and held off eight gunmen all by herself at the start of the shootout.

In a situation like that, typical newbies would probably be pissing their pants in fear. Even the less courageous veteran officers wouldn’t dare to face off against so many AKs.

As for Luke, his performance was so good it was almost illogical. He was a fresh graduate who had only joined the force for slightly over two months, yet he had single-handedly killed 13 gunmen during the operation, including a leader of the gang.

Not a single gunman he set his eyes on survived, and he had ultimately finished off even those who were injured.

This alone set him apart from all the officers of the department, excluding Robert.

Apart from that, Luke was Robert’s godson. Nobody could do anything about Robert sending his own son away.

Thus, in their department, Luke was the person with the best performance and connections. Nobody could say anything about his transfer. Even if one was unhappy, one could only bear with it.

Luke didn’t pay the others much mind, but he still needed to placate Catherine and the two children.

Ever since waking up in this world, he had lived with Robert’s family.

The only reason he didn’t call Robert and Catherine dad and mom was because Catherine was his paternal aunt.

Their relationship wasn’t any worse than the relationship between members of other regular families.

In this family, there was the outspoken and magnanimous Robert and the kind and smart Catherine, and both had done a great job in building a happy and healthy family.

Now, the time had come for someone in the family to leave.

Luke had thought about this day many times in the past, but he never had a clear idea when it would happen.

Based on his previous plan, he was supposed to spend a few years in college. That was four additional years to act as a buffer for everyone to get used to not seeing each other everyday anymore.

But now, he was leaving for a new job at Houston’s Major Crimes Division.

How busy was the Major Crimes Division of a police department in a major city? There were enough cases there to keep a person busy his entire life. Thus, Luke would rarely have the chance to come back in the future.

In fact, chances were higher that Catherine and the two children would be the ones who would go visit him there.

Although Catherine was very reluctant to part with him and was rather emotional, she didn’t react too badly.

On the other hand, Joseph the brat, who spent a lot of time bickering with Luke, was the one who cried.

Claire was already in her sophomore year, so she coped better and didn’t cry. But she still woke up with eyes red from crying for two days straight.

Regardless of their reluctance, the day of Luke’s departure still arrived.

Luke didn’t show too much emotion. He was completely calm, and left the house as if it was a normal work day; he even got Catherine to prepare two sandwiches for his lunch, before he bade everyone farewell with a smile on his face.

Today, Robert didn’t leave for work on the dot. He stayed with Catherine and the two children and sent both Luke and Selina off.

They waved as the car left, and the youngest, Joseph, couldn’t help asking, “When is Luke coming back?”

Robert answered, “He’ll be back. In any case, you guys can go visit him during the school holidays. You can take the chance to visit Houston as well.”

It would seem like Robert had just given himself more trouble with those words.

From then on, the two children would pester him to go to Houston during the school holidays.

Selina was in charge of driving. After they drove out of town, she asked, “Why am I still driving even after you bought a car?”

Luke answered nonchalantly, “Because you drive better than I do.”

Selina was slightly speechless. “You never drive. When will your driving skills improve? Are you planning to have me drive all the time?”
