Chapter 1502: Go to School, and Dont Be Too Curious

Luke called Skye to come over and sit down.

After he checked on her recent living situation, Skyes restless mood finally settled.

Actually, Luke knew more about her life than she thought.

For example, she was a hardcore fan of Batman.

She couldnt be considered a hacker per se since she wasnt using her hacking skills to make dirty money.

She just liked to collect information online, and occasionally used a small program to track down the ident.i.ties of Batman and the others.

It was Alfred who had discovered the hacking in Clinton. After checking, it discovered that the IP address was right next to Lukes house.

Skye currently only knew the basics, and couldnt detect Alfred.

Having said that, there werent many ordinary people in Clinton who had better skills.

When he saw her tonight, Luke remembered that too. Pondering for a moment, he said, Go to school, Skye.

Skye was stunned. What?

Luke said, Youre very organized with paperwork and correspondence; its clear that youre quite smart. Take advantage of when youre still young to push your upper limits. Dont wait until youre old to regret it.

Skye hesitated. B- but I didnt graduate from middle school.

Luke had already sorted out Skyes original middle school; on file, rather than dropping out, she had transferred to another school.

She still had study credits and could continue studying, but she hadnt thought about it yet.

Luke waved his hand. Go straight to grade 12. Do you have the confidence to get the rest of your study credits in half a year?

Skye didnt say anything, but she was clearly thinking about it.

A moment later, she said in embarra.s.sment, Maybe not.

Luke said, Then get the credits first. It would be best if you can get into a public university, but if not, go to a community college first.

Skyes mouth dropped open. Thats a lot of money, right?

Luke glanced at her and said, Ill give you a personal student loan. You have to be paid back. Do you want it?

Skye was conflicted.

Realistically speaking, she should accept that this would be good for her.

For as long as she could remember, however, she had moved around various welfare homes and boarding homes. No one had ever treated her so well.

She was rather scared.

Anything too beautiful might be an illusion.

Sensing her emotions, Luke patted her shoulder and said, Think properly on it before you look for me again. You have extraordinary talent. You cant just work as a volunteer all your life. Hm, compared with giving you a salary, my hope is youll be able to donate back one day, even if its just a hundred bucks.

With that, he stood up and left the shelter.

When they got home, Selina asked curiously, Whats so special about her?

Luke said, Her computer skills have improved. Shes gone from something like a bottom-tier annual salary of 20,000 dollars on the day we met her to an industry professional with an annual salary of 100,000 dollars.

Selina clicked her tongue. Then why is she a volunteer worker? Wait, does she even need to study, then?

Luke said, Since shes talented enough to live without worries for the rest of her life, what she needs to learn is how to adapt to society and not walk the criminal path.

Selina snorted.

You make it sound like youre such a law-abiding citizen yourself.

Luke, however, seemed to understand what she was thinking. Thats why I said its about adapting to society. Also, I cant find any information on her from two years ago; it was probably covered up by professionals.

Selina exclaimed in surprise. Recalling Skyes manner and behavior, she shook her head. Theres nothing unusual about how she behaves.

Many things couldnt be hidden from seasoned detectives.

For example, combat and firearms training usually involved some distinctive movements.

Rich and poor kids looked at things differently.

It wasnt a matter of putting on an act every now and then. Skye had been a volunteer worker for so long, and there really wasnt anything unusual about her.

Only an agent like Natasha, who had been groomed since she was young, could put on that sort of act.

Luke shook his head. I dont know, but no matter what, she cant be a volunteer forever.

Thanks to his abilities, Luke knew that Skye had never had any professional training, and that she wasnt someone with ill intentions.

Luke wasnt interested in what secrets she was hiding.

There were too many secrets in this world.

For example, he had once come across a mysterious bald woman in Greenwich, Lower Manhattan.

That night, he had been flying hundreds of meters high up in his Bat suit and in stealth mode.

The bald woman in a strange, cosplay-like outfit suddenly turned and looked in his direction.

At that time, Luke himself hadnt noticed.

It was Alfred who alerted him to the fact that the woman had perfectly tracked Lukes flight.

In other words, that bald woman who hadnt been asleep in the middle of the night had detected him despite his stealth mode and watched him fly past.

Was Luke curious about this strange existence? He was.

However, he only investigated the building at 177a Bleecker Street through public channels and didnt personally check it out himself.

The right amount of curiosity was healthy for the body and mind.

Excessive curiosity could be called a different thing courting death.

In this world where superheroes and bad guys were becoming more and more capable, it was very easy for something to go wrong if you stuck your nose into someone elses secrets.

Luke himself didnt like being spied on for no reason.

If the other party didnt let up, he would turn around and investigate them all the way back 18 generations.

If it was an enemy, he would send them to heaven. If it was some busybody with nothing to do, he would use New Hopes non-lethal weapons to give them a taste of what it was like to have diarrhea in front of everybody!

Luke didnt think it would do him any good to keep an eye on that mysterious bald woman.

The other party might not have similar non-lethal methods, but it was completely unnecessary to provoke such a mysterious person for the sake of his curiosity.

Footage from the Battle of New York confirmed the need for caution.

The bald woman simply stood on the roof and waved her hand like she was swatting flies, and the Chitauri fliers around the building exploded in the air.

That was right, they exploded hundreds of meters away!

The debris from the explosion hit a protective s.h.i.+eld around the building, and it didnt suffer the least bit of damage.

Luke didnt want to provoke a low-key bigshot like this at all.

Not only was she a woman, she was also bald and liked to cosplay. If she was a female version of Saitama, she could kill anyone with one punch!

Luke, who always prioritized safety, simply pretended that this mysterious bigshot didnt exist.

If the other party wanted to play at keeping a low profile, that had nothing to do with a minor detective like him.

Batman had been in Manhattan for almost a year and was very busy. If this baldie really wanted to make trouble, she wouldve already done so..
