Chapter 866: The Fraternity’s Most Important Thing

Selina continued, “Her parents and the school called the police and suspected that she had been kidnapped, but they’ve never been able to find her. In fact, nobody would’ve known that she was Molly Johnson if she hadn’t said her name.”

Luke nodded thoughtfully.

When they found the girl, she was dressed like a college student in her early twenties.

If they didn’t know who she was, most people wouldn’t associate her with a fifteen-year-old high school student.

However, this news couldn’t be considered too bad, and wasn’t worth an explanation on Selina’s part.

Selina said, “I just received a call from the nurse, Christine. She said that the SVU hasn’t filed a case over Molly. They just said that they would investigate it, before they left.”

Luke asked, “Why?”

Selina said, “Apart from saying her name, Molly hasn’t said anything about the last three months. Apart from the fact that her mental state isn’t right, there’s no evidence that she has been assaulted. The SVU can only conclude that she ran away from home three months ago and went missing.”

Luke nodded, not surprised at all.

The SVU’s conclusion wasn’t without basis. After all, Molly had reappeared in one piece, and she herself hadn’t said anything. In this sort of situation, it was unlikely that the police would file a case.

NYPD was very busy. Molly’s slightly suspicious circumstance wasn’t enough for an investigation.

“What’s the problem?” asked Luke.

Selina said, “Christine suspects that Molly is suffering from severe trauma, which is why she can’t tell us what happened. She wants us to go to the hospital tomorrow.”

Luke said, “We’re not psychiatrists. Why does she want us there?”

Selina said, “She said that she’s asked a friend to help with Molly’s psychiatric treatment tomorrow at ten in the morning. We might be able to get some clues from Molly then.”

Hearing this, Luke simply nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

He and Selina were the first to discover the girl. Since the SVU didn’t care, they could certainly take back the case.

Investigating cases was their job to begin with.

As long as they didn’t break any rules, there was no need for them to justify themselves to anyone.

If a nurse like Christine could help a complete stranger, Luke also wouldn’t be stingy with his time.

After that, Selina went to rest.

Luke returned to the basement.

Looking at the new, spacious workspace, he sighed in satisfaction. “Now this is the workshop I want.”

Walking into a separate space, he took out some of the unknown materials that he had obtained from the Fraternity and began to examine them.

What did the Fraternity have that was worth Luke making a move?

The very first thing naturally… wasn’t experience or credit, but the product made from the unknown materials he had obtained: a medicinal bath.

According to Rebecca and Bloodmint, the medicinal bath with unknown ingredients could accelerate the recovery of the human body.

Injuries such as bruises, cuts, and fractures would basically heal in a few hours with the medicinal bath.

When Luke heard that, his first reaction was that he had to get it.

This was definitely the Fraternity’s most valuable item; it was far more valuable than their hitmen business or that clacking antique loom.

Even the Fraternity’s Curve Shooting and Physical Outburst weren’t as good as this amazing medicinal bath.

Saving someone was always more difficult than killing them.

Luke could easily kill most people in this world, including those with superpowers.

But when it came to saving people, he only had two choices.

One was to let Gold Nugget combine with the other party and heal them before withdrawing.

The second was to use that unknown ruby red liquid which he had snatched away from the mouth of the giant octopus on the ocean liner.

Both methods were problematic.

Gold Nugget’s identity had to be kept a secret. It would be troublesome if the dog head’s alien identity was exposed.

Luke also hadn’t made much progress in determining the source of the unknown red liquid, as well as its composition and side effects.

Also, while he had a fair amount of the liquid, he wouldn’t waste it randomly.

On the other hand, this bath could be created and used multiple times.

Rebecca did say, however, that the materials for the medicinal bath were limited, and only the middle and upper echelons were qualified to use it.

There were more than twenty famous hitmen in the upper rank, while the mid-ranked hitmen were newcomers with potential.

According to Rebecca’s description, however, while this type of medicinal bath was rare, it was used no less than twenty times a year on average.

As a life-saving trump card, that was a lot.

With such a miraculous treatment method, it was truly such a waste for the Fraternity to use this only to train hitmen.

Luke had to obtain this as a life-saving trump card for his family, teammates, and future allies.

He had been looking for two things in Sloan’s room tonight: a list of the Fraternity’s hitmen and the formula for the special medicinal bath.

Unfortunately, he found neither.

It wasn’t until he knocked out the Exterminator and obtained the special medicinal bath mix from the man’s list of abilities that he was pleasantly surprised.

After learning the ability, Luke checked the bath formula.

In the end, the Exterminator only knew the process for the medicinal bath, but didn’t know the key ingredients.

The unknown materials were all given to the Exterminator at a fixed time by Sloan, and the Exterminator only knew to add the prescribed amounts in order to create the medicinal bath.

Just like how assembly line workers didn’t know how to make all the parts, the Exterminator was just a pharmaceutical dispenser.

Luke was slightly disappointed, but not too surprised.

How could a cunning man like Sloan simply give such a good thing to his subordinates?

If it were Luke, he wouldn’t divulge the secret of the raw materials either. Other than Robert and Selina, he would only give the others the finished product.

He needed to be even more cautious when dealing with Sloan.

As the leader of the Fraternity, Sloan had enough power to keep the processing of the raw materials separate; the old man might not necessarily have the ability to manufacture the raw materials.

If Luke killed Sloan directly, the formula might be lost.

As Luke pondered how he was going to clean up the Fraternity’s foundation, his hands never stopped moving as he put all the raw materials into various equipment for analysis.

It would take some time.

Putting that aside, Luke began to add new functions to Selina’s armor.

Daredevil would rest for a few days at most before he set out again.

If they ran into each other again, it would be troublesome if he knew who Selina was.
