Chapter 644 - Stupid Bigshots, and Sucking Up



But the bigshots upstairs were absolutely the last people who needed the help. Luke and Selina didn’t want to waste time on them at all.

Luke reached Selina and the others five minutes later. He looked at the officers and smiled. “No rush. We’ll go up first for a look. If we can clear an area for helicopters to land, I’m sure those bigshots are rich enough to call for helicopters to ferry them off.”

The officers were sitting on the stairs and sweating all over. They nodded and smiled, and one with slightly more energy said, “That’d be great. Thanks.”

With that, Luke and Selina continued up the stairs.

Selina had already recovered, but after two floors, Luke put her on his back and said in a low voice, “Okay, let’s go up quickly and get rid of those idiots.”

Carrying Selina, Luke ran all the way to the rooftop without entering the banquet hall at all.

He put Selina down. The two of them examined the rooftop. Selina said with a strange expression, “Isn’t it just a big metal frame?! The helicopters can land the moment it’s moved. Why did they want us to climb 82 floors to pick them up?”

Luke pondered for a moment. “Because they’re idiots?”

Selina snorted in disdain. “Even idiots know to find ways to survive. Can’t those guys find a way out for themselves?”

Luke shrugged. “They’ve probably been so busy making money that they forgot how to do hard labor. Okay, I’ll pull the metal rack to one side. You tell those idiots... em, those esteemed ladies and gentlemen that they can call for helicopters and get the hell out of here now.”

Selina naturally had no objections. She also switched on her walkie-talkie and said to the officers who were resting on the 50th floor, “Hey, you don’t need to come here anymore. It’s just a few metal frames on the rooftop. The helicopters can land once they’re moved away... “Why didn’t those people move them? How would I know?! Maybe they’re all handicapped.

“Handicapped how? Let me think – mentally, probably.”

Luke had just walked over to the metal frames He was quite amused by Selina’s words.

She must be pissed tonight.

But he couldn’t blame her.

Even Luke himself wanted to beat someone up.

It was just a big metal frame and some miscellaneous junk on the rooftop. The metal frame had fallen onto the landing pad, making it impossible for helicopters to land.

But while the metal frame was huge, there was no way it weighed more than ten tons. Indeed, just a few people wouldn’t be able to move it, but there were almost a hundred people in the banquet hall on the top floor as well as waiters and staff members; none of them had actually tried moving the obstacles away.

It was easy to clear the landing pad. The metal frame didn’t even need to be carried away, and could just be pushed ten meters to one side.

The landing pad was very smooth, and hadn’t been damaged at all.

Even if regular people weren’t that strong, twenty to thirty people working together might be able to do it.

If these people were a little smarter and had tools, they would’ve been able to get the job done in a dozen minutes.

But it had almost been an hour since the earthquake happened, and the people in the banquet hall had done nothing more than to call the police and demand that the officers take them down. How disgusting! Luke didn’t bother to call for help. After all, he was alone on the rooftop.

He simply dragged the metal frame by its sharp end off the landing pad unhurriedly.

After hauling the greatest obstacle away, he went around the landing pad and kicked aside the miscellaneous items on it. In less than five minutes, the landing pad had been cleaned up; it had taken him even less time than climbing the stairs.

He didn’t dally, but went downstairs.

Los Angeles was still in chaos at the moment. With his identity as a detective and operating at the peak strength of a regular person, he could still help many people and earn a lot of experience and credit points.

The moronic bigshots in the banquet hall weren’t worth mentioning compared with experience and credit.

He had only taken a few steps, when he saw a helicopter flying over rapidly.

Narrowing his eyes, Luke sighed when he saw the LAPD insignia, and could only stop for the time being

Since he had seen them, he had to inform these unlucky colleagues about the situation.

The LAPD helicopter arrived and landed very quickly; the pilot was clearly a pro.

Luke finally smiled. He waved and yelled, “Why are you here?”

Four fully-armed SWAT members get out of the helicopter. Harrison was in the lead, followed by the hot lady Sanchez. Jim was with them as well.

The last team member was a white man called T. J. McCabe. Luke had only seen him once, on the escort mission for the real Alex the other night.

Seeing Luke, Harrison signaled for him to talk as they walked. “We happened to be in the neighborhood, so we were sent here.”

They ran into the building through the rooftop door, which muffled the noise from the helicopter, and Harrison’s tone returned to a normal volume. “This is a ‘cushy job’ from the boss, for us to impress these bigshots.”

Looking at Luke’s strange expression, Sanchez snorted. “Boss, aren’t we here to suck up to these rich guys? Don’t talk like it’s something to be proud of.”

Luke chuckled. Jim and McCabe couldn’t help sniggering as well.

It couldn’t be helped. Harrison had always done his own thing. He just got the assignment done, and would never suck up to anyone.

Harrison said helplessly, “Aren’t you in the same boat?”

Luke couldn’t help but glance at Sanchez, and the hot lady said with that laidback expression, “I only suck up to the men I like... er.”

She stopped abruptly; all four men were looking at her weird, even the annoyed Harrison.

A moment later, the men all burst out laughing, and Sanchez slapped her forehead, vexed.

She was used to being blunt normally, and had accidentally exposed her true nature.

Jokes aside, Luke understood what was going on.

While PD had confirmed that Harrison and Sanchez were innocent, they were still under a lot of pressure.

Their boss sent them here not really to suck up to the stupid bigshots, but for them to obtain merits.

This way, they could use their achievements as insurance next time.

While he pondered this, Luke simply explained the situation with the stupid bigshots and gladly threw the burden to Harrison’s team.

Watching Luke slip off, Sanchez said enviously, “Hey, look at him. He can go wherever he wants. He even dumped this on us...”

Harrison coughed and cut off her complaints. “Say that again after two months, when you have the leeway to make mistakes again, okay?”

Sanchez shrugged but shut up.

On Luke’s side, he called Selina to come out.

She was surrounded by several upper-crust ladies who wanted to know when the helicopter would arrive. At that moment, she pointed at the door. “The SWAT’s helicopter is here. Their captain is here as well. They’ll be responsible for your evacuation.”

When the women looked at the door, Selina seized the moment to run away.

She had gotten good at throwing the responsibility to somebody else.

After all, she was around such a great teacher who led by example all the time, and she was making great progress.
