Chapter 250 Increased Training

Polk was stunned for a moment. “What?”

Luke pointed at the memory cards and said, “I recorded it. Stu said it himself. You can also ask Sandra.”

Polk nodded. “Okay, but she’s still in poor shape, and hasn’t woken up from the sedative yet.”

Luke said, “Alright, we’ll see if we can find Stu. If we can, things will be a lot simpler.”

Polk hesitated for a moment, then said, “You’re free to shoot if you run into any danger. I guarantee that nobody will make trouble for you.”

Luke nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Polk.”

Seeing the two of them off, Polk sighed and shook his head in his office. “Do kids nowadays all solve their problems with murder?”

After a while, he began to issue orders and deploy officers to investigate Stu’s whereabouts.

Luke and Selina drove southeast for a while, then stopped ten kilometers away from the town.

Selina asked, “Why did you stop?”

Luke shook his head and said, not without regret, “I don’t think we can catch up to him. Let’s go back.”

It was pure wilderness outside town.

To make things worse, it was raining and the wind was strong, and Luke’s Sharp Nose could only track Stu up to this point.

Surely this couldn’t be the last they would see of Stu! Luke could only sigh inwardly.

Stu’s ability was truly weird and baffling. Luke wondered why the system hadn’t acknowledged Stu’s defeat when Luke knocked the guy out twice. Naturally, Stu’s ability wasn’t on the list of abilities that Luke could learn.

Luke had a theory about that.

For example, how could Stu appear at Billy’s house and in his own garage at the same time?

Other people might think that Stu had disguised himself somehow, but Luke would rather believe that it was Stu’s ability.

Only a super ability could make two Stus appear at the same time and make them disappear into thin air.

The system judged that he hadn’t defeated Stu precisely because of the unknown features of this super ability.

What a shame!

Selina looked at him and said, “Why do you have a constipated look on your face, like you have blue balls? Didn’t you spend at least twelve hours with a woman just two days ago?”

Luke brooded for a moment, but perked up again. “No, I’m going to stay for a few days. Maybe Stu will come back for revenge!”

Selina was suspicious. “Is this about the high school student with the number 10 sweater?”

Luke said, “If that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can say.”

Selina rolled her eyes. “As if you only just remembered her!”

Luke rubbed Selina’s head with a smile, only for her to avoid his hand and scoff at him. He said, “If we go back so quickly when the case isn’t over yet, Deputy Director Condra will think that we didn’t work hard enough on it.”

Three days later, Luke returned dejectedly.

Stu never came back. Like a bird that had escaped a cage, he was gone without a trace.

Neither the surveillance cameras Luke had installed nor his personal sweep with Sharp Nose picked up any signs of the man.

When their car finally left Woodsburg, Selina’s eyes moved away from the rearview mirror.

She glanced at Luke. “Looks like you did a great job. Were Tatum’s legs trembling after the two of you got back from your excursion?”

Luke said brazenly, “Yes, we visited a lot of places, mainly to try and draw Stu out.”

Selina could only chuckle. “As if!”

Luke was thinking about other things.

After he returned, he would devote more time to training

Since his physical stats had increased significantly, he needed to better conceal his combat ability.

For example, Bob Munden, the man who held the world record for the fastest gun draw, could draw and fire his gun at an unbelievable speed. His record was 0.0175 seconds.

On top of that, he could still instantly hit two balloons two meters away from each other. He was completely inhuman.

With someone like that as an example, it wouldn’t be too surreal for Luke to achieve a similar feat.

The mishap on this trip was a reminder.

He didn’t lose, but he hadn’t won, either.

This world wasn’t an ordinary one, but had all kinds of unpredictable abilities.

It wasn’t a big thing that he hadn’t defeated Stu and acquired his unusual ability; there were so many more amazing abilities out there.

However, danger could pop up at any time, even in a small, seemingly peaceful town.

Not only did he have to work hard himself, he also needed to train Selina.

How much potential did humans have?

It was unlikely that a regular human being would ever be able to defeat Hulk or Thanos.

But take the Punisher, the dark antihero, for example. The Punisher had terrifying combat skills that allowed him to take down criminals who had super abilities.

He was the epitome of a human being who was at the peak in combat skills.

Nick Fury classified the Punisher as a level ten S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

This level ten wasn’t just a title, but was based on his genuine combat ability.

The other level ten agent in S.H.I.E.L.D was the Black Widow.

But the Black Widow was someone who had been enhanced with drugs, whereas the Punisher earned his level exclusively through his own battle skills.

Luke didn’t really plan to turn Selina into another Punisher through sheer training.

Excluding Luke, Selina was probably in the top three in the Major Crimes Division in terms of fighting ability.

No more than five people in the Major Crimes Division had the courage to fire at ten armed bandits without chickening out.

Her physical stats were outstanding too, and her body fat ratio had always been under 20%.

After training with Luke all this time, she was as good as a professional boxer.

With her physical build, it wasn’t impossible for her to become half as good as the Punisher in the future if she continued training.

And unlike the Punisher, Luke was confident he could find useful items for his family and friends to make it easier for them to protect themselves.

This was a world full of extraordinary powers.

He didn’t want those important to him to be killed by random criminals – what good was enormous strength, when the flipside was loneliness?
