The little turtles and their master went over in armor every time. Luke told them not to talk about themselves or ask the others their real identities.

Luke said the same thing to everyone else.

Of course, this could just be considered a friendly reminder.

If anyone wound up liking each other and wanted to become true friends, Luke wouldn’t stop them.

But Luke had to prevent them from dumbly and impulsively revealing everything about themselves at the start.

This wasn’t a novel.

People who were quick to leak information about themselves would accidentally divulge information about their teammates sooner or later, even if it wasn’t on purpose.

It was better to let Batman be the “bad guy” and get this thing out of the way first.

After all, Batman’s identity was still a mystery to everyone except Selina.

Since he had the halo of justice, it was hard for anyone to doubt him.

The fallout from the previous incident was sufficient proof that what Batman said was on point, so everybody consciously abided by his words.

Actually, the little turtles and their master were the most simple of them all.

Most of the warnings were in fact for them.

The only exception was Wade.

In the end, Luke arranged for him to contact Frank himself for separate testing and training.

Luke really didn’t have the confidence that he could stop the guy from needling the others verbally. He could only trouble Uncle Frank to endure this torture alone.

It was a good thing that Uncle Frank was impressive enough; he was able to handle their interactions with a face like a block of ice and very few words.

Luke had even praised him once for it. Frank had looked at him expressionlessly before saying a moment later, “After the first time, I basically have an idea of what he’s like. After that, I just wear earplugs and have Bobo screen his talk for the valid parts before transmitting them to me.”

Luke couldn’t help but laugh. “Congratulations, you found a good solution.”

Frank continued staring at him. “I never knew a person can spout so much nonsense. Bobo calculated that the valid parts of his words only amount to 0.5%, and it only decreases from there. Do you know what this means? In one hour of standard training, less than 100 of the words he says have any value.”

Luke shrugged. “But he’s an excellent fighter, right?”

After a brief silence, Frank nodded. “Yes. However, if there really comes a day when war breaks out, I hope you will take this into consideration beforehand and filter his words on the team channel.”

Luke immediately gave him a thumbs up. “Perfect. Bobo, record and analyze Deadpool’s language patterns, and begin writing an ‘anti-Deadpool program.’ The goal is to filter out useless content.”

Bobo said cheerily, “Yes, sir.”

“You haven’t changed the voice?” Luke raised an eyebrow. Bobo’s voice also came from a chatterbox. Could Uncle Frank tolerate it?

Frank silently turned his head. “It speaks clearly and has no negative impact on the job. There’s no need to change it.”

Sensing the man’s complicated emotions, Luke stopped asking.

Everything in the Bat Cave was completely open to Frank as the commander.

Although Luke had the highest authority, that was just out of habit. Unless it was necessary, he wouldn’t interfere with Frank’s decisions at the base.

This was the authority of a commander, which needed to be upheld, or it would be hard for anyone else to develop respect for Frank in a short period of time.

After a brief silence, Frank said something else. “That Pink Bear is too young. I refuse to classify her as a combatant.”

Luke raised an eyebrow. “Okay.”

Frank was stumped. “You don’t object?”

Luke sighed. “She won’t change her mindset just because of your say-so. Based on the situation, you can put her with the Ninja Squad and put her in a backup team. Don’t let her know.”

Frank frowned. “This is a battle. She’s 15 or 16 at most. She shouldn’t even be backup.”

Actually, she looks even younger, Luke murmured inwardly. Also, I’m only 20 years old, but I have to round up a bunch of violent people like you to fight an alien fleet. Who’s going to sympathize with me?!

Roasting Frank inwardly, Luke said, “If she’s in the city, not only will she be protected by her armor, she’ll also have enough external support. The ninjas will also be able to watch over her. It won’t be dangerous. If she’s excluded from the operation, she might do as she wishes, which will instead increase the danger.”

“Then lock her up until the end of the battle. Don’t tell me that you don’t have a suitable place,” Frank said coldly.

Luke shook his head decisively. “She is her own person, not our puppet or doll, and certainly not our soldier. If we do that, then what about in the future? Are we going to lock her up forever? You can probably tell what her personality is like. Would she still be able to trust us after that?”

Frank fell silent again.

It would be too easy to raise kids if they were that easy to discipline.

It was indeed very easy to lock her up if she didn’t listen.

But she was a person, and a minor at that.

Doing so would only destroy her trust in her family and friends, and even warp her worldview as a child, thereby ruining her future.

Furthermore, they weren’t Mindy’s father, and had no right to make such a decision.

Although Frank was cold and inflexile, he still understood this principle.

After a long while, he said again, “I’m going to beat up Black Bear. Do you have enough Life Daggers?”

Luke smacked his lips and thought for a while, before he finally nodded. “It has to be here. You can’t use weapons. Have Bobo monitor Black Bear’s vital signs at all times.”

He had barely said the words, when he saw Frank’s eyes light up. Luke quickly added, “You best be careful and not make an enemy of Pink Bear.”

Frank smiled. “Relax, I’m a professional at beating people up.”

Luke shook his head helplessly and left. “Forget it. I have to be here when you beat him up.”

If Frank really went too far, he could only take down this cheap uncle as well.

Frank was clearly extremely unhappy about Damon grooming his daughter into a hitman.

Although Damon and Mindy hadn’t told their teammates that they were father and daughter, their attitude was clear enough.

In fact, if Luke hadn’t lived two lives and worked with Damon and Mindy in order to survive the hijacking at the very beginning, he would’ve beaten Damon up long ago.

Training his underaged daughter to become a killer wasn’t something a father should do.
