Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 259 Do You Want to Go Back to Houston?

That mysterious shooter hadn’t bled after he was hit in the shoulder; clearly, he had been wearing some sort of bulletproof vest as well.

In conclusion, both of them suffered injuries in the brief fight, but Luke’s were heavier.

Without Elementary Self-Healing, he would’ve had to wait for an ambulance after he was shot the first time.

Thank god he had learned Elementary Self-Healing for fear of possibly dying in

strange or unusual ways someday.

This wasn’t a game or a movie.

When Tony ran into Whiplash, Whiplash at least wasted some time talking so that Tony had time to put on his suit.

However, this shooter could easily shoot Luke from eight hundred meters away without giving him a chance to speak.

For Luke, who had a system, he could continue to get stronger as long as he was alive.

This case was already quite huge after the death of ten SWAT members.

The captain of the team regretted underestimating the two criminals in the apartment buildings and sending the snipers to the rooftops alone.

Luke, however, didn’t think that the man had made a mistake. After all, it was a bunch of police officers up against two criminals, who were surrounded.

Besides, if the captain had sent another team member along with each sniper, there would’ve only been two more victims.

Luke was only able to fight the shooter because of his Elementary Self-Healing and his bulletproof vests – two extra SWAT members wouldn’t have changed anything.

He told Roger to handle the rest, before he took Selina with him and left the area.

On their way back, he had Selina call Elsa to tell her what happened.

Dustin had already let Elsa know after Roger briefed him on the gunfight.

After hearing Selina’s report, Elsa simply told them to stay in touch and to rest up.

When Luke and Selina arrived at the crime scene, they subdued the two criminals, rescued the hostages and discovered the explosives, all without making any mistakes.

Even if the mysterious shooter got away in the end, nobody could blame Luke for it.

The man annihilated an entire SWAT squad, but Luke returned in one piece after a fight with the man. This proved that Luke really was strong.

When they got home, Luke told Selina in detail what happened with the dreadful shooter. Shocked, Selina asked, “What should I do if I run into someone like that?”

After some thought, Luke said, “Your best bet is to keep your distance and don’t linger in one place. Also, his shooting skills are only mediocre at best compared with his knife-throwing.”

Selina was lost for words. You call that mediocre?

Luke nodded and said, “I was able to counterattack when he used his gun, but when he started throwing daggers, I couldn’t find an opening to shoot at him.”

There was no need to mention that he was far nimbler than ordinary people.

Selina was well aware of the gap between her strength and Luke’s.

Luke would never let Selina think that she should try to approach the man and kill him.

The man was so good at knife-throwing that he would always hit his target however he flicked his hand.

Fighting a close-range battle with such a man was too dangerous and should only be considered as a last resort.

After their discussion, Luke urged Selina to train.

Selina was dumbfounded. “Huh? It’s almost nine.”

Luke said, “It’s nine, not twelve. There’s still a long way to go until bedtime.”

Selina roared and charged at him. She punched him hard for a while, then said, “Okay, I’m going to train. Leave me alone.”

Luke didn’t resist at all, because Selina hadn’t pulled her punches; her hands had to hurt far more than he did.

After sending Selina off to train, Luke returned to his workshop to continue working on his equipment.

If it wasn’t for the bulletproof vest that he had been wearing, the sniper’s bullet would have torn open a hole in his body.

The special bulletproof vest he had made was extremely tensile, thanks to a particular alloy which Luke created with Tony’s abilities.

However, the alloy was costly and difficult to make. Luke couldn’t mass produce it, and could only make it for his own use.

Every last bit he created went into the bulletproof vests for him and Selina.

Although the vests weighed no more than five kilograms, the raw materials cost Luke more than five hundred thousand dollars.

But the cost was definitely worth it, considering how the bulletproof vest saved his life.

With this vest and his Elementary Self-Healing, Luke practically couldn’t be killed.

Even Selina would only sustain an injury, when she would otherwise be killed if she wasn’t wearing the vest.

After reflecting and working for a long period of time, Luke completed his modification goals for the day.He then went to the gym to check on Selina.

Selina wasn’t practicing the technical moves that Luke had told her to, but was using far more violent movements.

Luke asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be practicing the technical moves?”

Selina ignored him and simply continued attacking the human-shaped target in front of her.

After a long while, she finally stopped, breathing hard. “I’m not an idiot. If I don’t work hard, I may be killed if I run into the guy from today again.”

After a brief silence, Luke suddenly asked, “Do you want to go back to Houston?”

Selina rolled her eyes at him. “Do you think I’m an idiot who wants to spend my entire life dealing with street fights and family drama every day? Without you, I would just be on street patrol.”

Luke said, “But you’ll run into more danger if you follow me. Are you really sure you don’t want to reconsider?”
