But hiding in Texas was also good.

Jenny spent a few rare days alone with Luke, and they rode together into the mountains to have fun.

Riding a horse was something she had never experienced before.

The female CEO happily celebrated Christmas and officially welcomed 1 January 2011 together with Luke.

During that time, Elena, who had gone back to Paris for the holidays, called Luke while he was in the mountains. She said that she had an emergency, and was flying back to New York.

!!

After being amply consoled by Luke for the past few days, an exhausted Secretary Jenny had no objections and simply let him go.

She said she would stay at another ranch nearby and take a small vacation.

Jenny had bought the ranch earlier on and had transformed it over the last two years into a countryside villa; the only thing she had to do now was check in.

Luke had no time to care about Jenny’s little moves. Instead, he took the private plane back to New York.

Elena hadn’t explained what the emergency was over the phone, and her bodyguards hadn’t reported anything unusual, so it could only be her Foresight Drawing.

This was the one thing Luke had reminded Elena repeatedly not to ever say a word about unless they were face to face.

He arrived in New York first, and waited at the airport to personally pick up Elena, who had come back in a hurry.

They went to Luke’s place. Elena didn’t open her special easel box until she was sure it was safe, and she revealed two mostly blank sketches.

Luke leaned forward and took a quick look at each drawing first before he studied the first one in detail.

One of the characteristics of Foresight Drawing was that it was a little sparse, but this was definitely the sparsest one so far.

In the drawing, there was a surging ocean, and the upper half of a huge round head was sticking out of it.

There was a sense of shock to the image; one could easily feel the imposing aura of the owner of this head that was rising up.

The two small figures in front of the round head were the best reference points for its size.

Narrowing his eyes, Luke observed the extremely familiar figure in black-and-white armor, as well as the long katana in his hand.

Without a doubt, this was Big Dipper.

He then focused all his attention on the other figure.

The figure was bald and wore a long cosplay-like robe, and was about the same height as Big Dipper.

Familiar! Luke was also very familiar with this person.

The fact that he couldn’t recall who this person was right away proved that they didn’t meet often, but the person had left a deep impression on Luke.

Luke’s mind whirled, and he was suddenly stumped. “177a Bleecker Street, Manhattan?”

It was the bald woman who had tracked Batman’s invisible flight past her while she had been drinking milk tea on the rooftop of an old building.

She was also one of the few people whom Luke hadn’t dared investigate too deeply.

That was because 177a Bleecker Street didn’t exist on the drones or in the eyes of most people.

There could be two reasons why Luke had been able to see the building and the bald woman: Firstly, he had the ability to see her, or secondly, she had allowed him to see her.

Either way, this was beyond the scope of a normal superpower.

Making the unreal real, or the real unreal, was too distinctive a trait.

If it wasn’t magic, then it was a divine power, and at a very high level — at the very least, it was at the level of old Mephisto.

Suppressing his wandering thoughts, Luke returned his attention to the Foresight Drawing.

In the image, Big Dipper looked like he was ready to go all out.

The bald woman, however, floated in the air with her hands behind her back, as if she wasn’t nervous at all.

Looking at her and Big Dipper’s positions and movements, they were probably allies, or at least, they weren’t enemies.

Thinking that, Luke shifted his attention to the bare round head in the ocean.

This big head… was even more familiar than the female bigshot’s bald head.

From the ocean, the round head, and Big Dipper’s super big blade, there could be only one truth — this was that super giant octopus!

This big guy whom Luke had encountered and screwed over twice was indeed qualified to show up in a Foresight Drawing.

Back on the cruise ship, it had still been manageable.

When Luke had sent it running in the South Pole, taking one of his big katanas along with it, it had already become very hard to kill.

Not only had it grown in size, it was also ridiculously resistant to attacks.

Only the katana that could cut through Ultron’s semi-vibranium body had been able to break through the giant octopus’s defenses. Most regular firearms were useless against it.

That enormous body which weighed tens of thousands of tons could easily cause a tsunami capable of drowning many seaside cities.

This octopus wasn’t an aircraft carrier. It could rely completely on its own strength to wave around those tentacles which weighed thousands of tons.

In comparison, an aircraft carrier relied on propulsion to move, while its buoyancy was determined by its weight.

It had to be said that this giant octopus was on par with the Helicarrier.

In terms of long-range attacks, it was probably weaker than the Helicarrier.

In terms of defense and close-range destructive power, it was far stronger than the Helicarrier.

But that wasn’t enough.

If this guy was still the same as at the South Pole, Luke had beaten it once, and would be able to beat it a second time.

After all, he had only lost a katana at the South Pole, and had basically never been in any danger.

A giant octopus at that level wasn’t enough to make the mysterious bald female bigshot appear.

It had to be pointed out that when the Chitauri had opened its wormhole in New York, this person had only killed some small fry on the roof of that small building, and hadn’t shown up at all.

After thinking for a moment, Luke looked at the second drawing.

It was still of a monster.

It flew through the air, and its target seemed to be the city not far below.

However, apart from a pair of bat wings and a bat-like head, everything else was blank.

This was the second characteristic of Foresight Drawing: It never fully revealed everything.

For example, the first drawing only showed the surface of the ocean and half the head of the giant octopus; Luke wasn’t sure where it was.

In the second drawing, however, Luke saw a very familiar structure in the city below.

Observing it carefully for a moment, he sighed and hugged Elena. “Is this the Golden Gate Bridge?”

Elena nodded affirmatively. “Yes, I’ve been to San Francisco a few times. When I drew this, I knew that was the location. That’s why I came back in a hurry.”

Luke stroked her back to calm her nerves.

Any creature that could become the protagonist of a Foresight Drawing couldn’t be ordinary.

Elena hadn’t been able to see much with the octopus. A battle on the ocean surface wouldn’t necessarily implicate a lot of people, and it just made her uneasy.

With the bat-winged monster, however, it was clearly headed toward San Francisco, which had a lot of people.

Luke picked up the coffee which Little Snail had just brought over and poured her a cup. “Okay, don’t worry. Leave everything to me.”
