Chapter 865: If You’re In a Good Mood, Listen to Bad News

If Luke chose at that moment to kill the upper echelon of the Fraternity, and even everybody in the factory, that would shock the smaller branches of the organizations.

Without Sloan and the other senior executives, these branches would most likely disappear before ultimately reappearing again elsewhere.

If Luke wanted to clean up the branches later, he would have to waste more time searching for them, which would be too inefficient.

So, he couldn’t kill Sloan and the others for now.

Thinking that, Luke snuck out.

After making a few turns in the dark hallway, he arrived at a large, brightly lit room.

He didn’t go in, but looked through the window and took in everything in the spacious room at a glance.

An enormous but old loom, which looked like an ancient cultural relic, was at work.

After watching for a moment, Luke left.

He was very interested in it, but could only leave it until last.

Given the size of this thing, it wouldn’t be easy for the Fraternity to secretly move it away. He wasn’t too worried.

After personally confirming that the loom was a “sacred item” that formed the spiritual pillar of the Fraternity, Luke snuck into another spacious room.

Unlike where the loom was, this place was dark, and there weren’t many things in the room. There were three long pits in the ground, as if for coffins.

A man was busy at a table in the corner.

Luke slowly walked over. The man didn’t know he was there, and carried on with his business.

After observing the man for a long while, Luke’s lips ticked up. Looking around for a moment, he then fished out a small device and activated it behind the man’s head.

The man stiffened, and Luke slapped him in the back of the head. His vision turned dark, and he slumped forward.

Luke grabbed the man by the collar and arranged him on the chair so that it looked like he was sleeping.

System: You have defeated the Exterminator and have received a list of his abilities.

The Exterminator’s abilities: Basic Combat, Basic Firearms... Special Medicinal Bath Mix (1,000 credit points).

Looking at the special medicinal bath mix in the system notification, Luke smiled and immediately learned the ability.

Thinking for a moment, Luke frowned and looked at the bottles around the table.

With a thought, a bit of the item in each bottle was placed in his inventory.

After wandering around the room, he took out two miniature drones and set up a fixed operating schedule for them in two corners outside the room.

After that, Luke left the textile mill and returned to Manhattan.

It wasn’t even midnight when he got home. Selina was sitting at the dining table on the second floor in her home clothes.

Gold Nugget was also sitting in its special seat; it was now qualified to eat at the same table as the fiend.

In any case, they had separate plates, so Luke didn’t mind.

While she was going through the files on the laptop, Selina was eating a tub of strawberry ice cream.

There were even more things in front of Gold Nugget. Apart from a huge tub of ice cream, there were also many empty boxes and packaging.

When the fiend wasn’t home, Selina didn’t bother with it, and it could find its own food.

This included junk food, seafood, ice cream, pastries, and drinks.

If Selina was in a slightly better mood, it could even put steak and chicken into a smart kitchen aid and make itself supper.

At most, it just needed to press the right buttons on the smart kitchen device and choose the cooking method; it was much easier than elementary math.

Like now, there was aluminium foil from two pieces of roast chicken in the trash in front of it.

It had been entrusted with the responsibility of looking after the new house for the past two days. There had been no mishaps, and Selina had been telling it all sorts of stories.

Gold Nugget saw Luke arrive at the back door on the surveillance feed on the tablet, and its paw swept the pile of trash on the table into the trash can that was under the table.

The dog jumped down from its special seat and brought the trash can down to the first floor.

After cleaning up the scene, it waited at the stairs on the first floor.

Luke soon came out of the garage on the first floor and rubbed the dog’s head with a smile. “Gold Nugget, you didn’t clean your mouth. How much did you eat tonight?”

Gold Nugget subconsciously licked its lips, but it didn’t feel anything other than saliva.

Luke laughed and went upstairs. He was only teasing the dog.

Gold Nugget had a clean mouth.

On the second floor, Selina asked lazily, “Finished everything?”

Luke nodded and sat down. He took a spoonful of ice cream and said vaguely, “Yes, everything went smoothly.”

Selina glanced at him and said, “You’re probably in a good mood. Then, let me give you some bad news.”

Luke raised an eyebrow. “Your logic is very strange.”

Selina switched to a webpage on the laptop. “First of all, there’s no news on the eight ninjas who died by the river last night.”

Luke raised an eyebrow and took another bite of ice cream.

It was cold and sweet in his mouth, but unpleasant in his ears. “I also checked the police department’s internal records. The police who were dispatched by the 15th Precinct last night said that it was a false alarm. Naturally, they didn’t find the bodies of the eight ninjas.”

Seeing Luke’s calm expression, Selina sighed and said, “So, the forensics department never got the bodies of the eight ninjas. At least, they don’t exist in the police station records.”

Luke smiled. “What a bunch of good and conscientious colleagues.”

Selina didn’t say anything.

Pondering for a moment, Luke said, “We have to be careful when it comes to the 15th Precinct. Those guys have no bottom line.”

Selina nodded. “They’ve probably been bribed by Kingpin. They might even be co-conspirators. They truly can’t be trusted.”

Looking at her, Luke asked, “What other bad news do you have?”

“The girl we rescued this morning woke up. Her name’s Molly Johnson. She’s fifteen years old and a high school student.” Selina paused for a moment before she continued, “She came to New York three months ago for the national high school games. Not long after the competition, she left on her own. She called her family and school and just said that she wanted to travel solo.”

Luke frowned. Why would a fifteen-year-old girl go on a trip for no reason? Also, where did she get the money?
