Super Detective in the Fictional World - Chapter 1580

Chapter 1580 Appeasing Teammates, Father and Grandpa

Wade had gotten so many benefits, and Luke had helped save his wife, but Wade still wasn’t a 1-star teammate.

Luke could only silently make up his mind to find an opportunity to make Wade regret it.

Do you like money? Then I’ll show you how much you’ll lose if you don’t kowtow to me.

As he thought about how to deal with the heartless Wade, he first visited Damon and Mindy as V.

These two were easy to deal with. Damon had no objections at all to doing one less mission.

Luke had said before that it wasn’t compulsory for the team to participate in most missions.

As for Mindy, she beamed when she heard that there was a new toy ready for use in the Bat Cave.

After dinner, they drank and chatted for an hour before Luke said goodbye.

Damon and Mindy were doing well.

However, Mindy shared three to five experience and credit points every now and then, which proved that this girl was still quite active.

At the same time, there were no experience and credit points from Damon.

It was clear that Mindy was doing all this behind her father’s back.

Luke now didn’t know if he had been right to give her so much safety training and a full set of surveillance drones.

But if he didn’t, this girl would still go out and cause trouble, and might run into danger.

On the other hand, she seemed to be even more excited now.

Hm, it was all Damon’s fault, and no one else’s! Luke immediately shifted the blame.

He wasn’t Mindy’s father. Why should he be held responsible?

For men, raising children was much harder than giving birth.

Luke was still a kid, and shouldn’t need to consider these sorts of things.

After leaving Damon’s house, Luke took Selina with him to visit the little turtles and their master.

Selina insisted on going with him to visit her “pets” whom she hadn’t seen in days and to feed them cheese pizzas which she had “personally” baked.

Looking at Gold Nugget, who didn’t react, Luke felt that Selina was indeed good at handling “pets.” Naturally, he didn’t reject her proposal.

Luke was gratified when he saw the little turtles and their master again.

Their biggest problem was still April.

After months of safety training, plus the portable warning program which they carried around, the little turtles had already learned to keep secrets.

They had met the female reporter, April, a few times, and hadn’t revealed any important information, which boosted Luke’s trust in them.

As long as they could keep secrets from this savior of theirs, Luke could let them participate in more secret missions. In fact, it was even easier to placate the little turtles and their master than to placate Mindy. Splinter felt no resentment at all. As an elder, he always maintained a calm and tolerant attitude.

In particular, after Luke gave them all sorts of training equipment and classes, this big rat seemed to let go of its biggest worry, and relaxed.

After Luke gave him all sorts of Chinese tea leaves, Splinter became even more of an “immortal.”

It had to do with his bearing and behavior.

What he liked to do most now was to drink tea, read books, cultivate chi and teach the little turtles some life philosophy. After briefly explaining the situation, Luke gave them the same treatment as Damon and Mindy, and said they could try out a new toy at the Bat Cave.

If they liked, they could stay in the Bat Cave long-term.

Unlike Damon and Mindy, the little turtles didn’t usually need to go out during the day. What was usual for them was wearing armor or stealth suits at night.

Additionally, Luke had met with Donnie in the guise of the bigshot who sold everything. This first meeting could be summed up as: the bigshot was very easy-going, Donnie was very cautious.

But Donnie definitely wouldn’t be so guileless if he didn’t trust Batman so much.

Even Jarvis had restrained itself when the bigshot appeared on the top floor of Stark

Tower.

In front of Batman, it had itched to scan him down to even the color of his underwear. This time, however, it didn’t do a thing.

When Tony heard the bigshot give his name – Alfred Pennyworth — his expression turned strange.

The bigshot added with a warm smile, “Usually, Young Master Wayne calls me Alfred.”

Tony was lost for words.

Luke successfully took the wind out of the tycoon’s sails and shut down the topic.

The tycoon was a very inquisitive person, so it was best to give him a question to ponder, and then hint that Batman had the answer.

Then, he would think of a way to get an answer from Batman rather than the bigshot.

He didn’t like owing people favors; it was just that he owed Batman a little more!

In interacting with a businessman like the bigshot, it was best to set a “business is business” tone at the beginning to prevent everyone from being unhappy.

After the small talk, Luke waved his hand, and the goods emerged out of thin air like a magic trick for Tony to take stock.

There was no way that Tony was in the mood to inspect the goods at that moment. He looked at the bigshot with burning eyes. “Mr. Pennyworth, is this a space superpower?”

Luke shook his head with a smile. “That’s a secret. You know that as a businessman, you need to keep some cards up your sleeves, or it won’t be easy to do business.”

Tony once again hit a brick wall. He felt that the bigshot was hard to deal with.

He stopped probing.

After all, it wasn’t like the other party was his father; he wouldn’t reveal his business secrets.

After checking the goods, the credit points which Tony used to pay the bill with were directly deducted from his account with the Bat Squad.

Luke took out a storage device and placed it on the coffee table.

Then, he slowly stood up with his cane in hand. “Young Master Wayne told me to give this to you in passing. He’s been a little busy recently, so he won’t be coming.”

Tony nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Pennyworth.”

Luke bowed slightly in acknowledgment and walked into the elevator.

After the elevator went down, Tony summoned a virtual screen. Looking at the data, he couldn’t help but curse in a low voice. “What an old fox.”

It was a test product which he had created based on the mental probe.

In this room on the top floor, a preset receiver could passively receive and record the distinctive mental fluctuations of a person.

On the virtual screen was a straight line.

This meant that Alfred Pennyworth had zero mental fluctuations and that he wasn’t releasing any mental signals at all.

Tony accepted this outcome readily enough and even felt that it was within his expectations.

It was Batman who had given him the mental remote control technology.

It would really be impossible for Pennyworth to not have taken any precautions.

While the tycoon was swiftly building up the level of a certain noob researcher’s skills, the Level 2 clone who had assumed the identity of the bigshot communicated mentally with a certain alien dog head. “Is the energy tasty?”

Gold Nugget said, “Father Pennyworth, no, Grandpa Pennyworth, give me more. Just a little more.”
