Phil was a little befuddled. He tried to recall his general understanding of Chinese culture, and asked tentatively, Are you saying that you believe in Buddha?

Luke stared at him speechlessly for a moment before he sighed. First of all, the Big Dipper is more important in Daoism. Secondly, Buddhism likes to say that if you put down the knife and repent, that is, as long as a bad person stops killing and turns to good, you are a good person.

Of course, that was just a casual explanation. There were too many stories tied to the source of religion, and there were no concrete teachings.

However, it wasnt like he was preaching to Phil, so he naturally didnt have to be too particular.

Phil thought for a moment, and seemed to get it. In other words, you dont plan to give those bad guys a chance to change their ways.

Luke shrugged. If you kill a lot of innocent people, but then repent and become a so-called good person, did the innocent who died deserve it?

He took a sip of his coffee. Thats why Im in charge of the kills. Theres no need for me to waffle over the bad guys. Bruce isnt very good in this regard.

Phil smiled politely and didnt say anything about Big Dippers a.s.sessment of Batman.

Even if he disagreed, that wouldnt prevent them from becoming friends.

It would also be foolish of him to agree.

Besides, Phil was more inclined to believe Batman.

After all, Big Dippers logic that bad guys deserved to die was too ruthless compared with Batmans rule of never killing people.

What about you? Are you going to stay in s.h.i.+ELD when its like this? Luke suddenly asked.

Drinking his juice, Phil nodded casually. I still have things to do. What else is there?

Luke rubbed his neatly trimmed beard. Find a wife, have three to five kids, make money the usual way and support your family. If you have nothing to do, play with your kids?

Phil choked on his juice and coughed several times. He looked at Luke in surprise. Are you serious?

Given Big Dippers personality, this sort of no murder- involved proposal was very out of character.

Luke stared at him keenly. You should know that Ive studied a bit of human psychology, right?

Phil felt his hair stand on end. You

Luke smiled and took a sip of his coffee.

Big Dippers smile was different from Lukes or Batmans. It was always a little mocking, and it was very easy for people to sense his condescending air.

This sense of superiority didnt come from wealth or status, but from the fact that he saw through everything.

Looking at Phils wary expression, Luke finally asked a question he had long wanted to ask. You feel some guilt toward your family, or some family members, right?

Phils expression was conflicted as he leaned back and clenched his fists uneasily.

Luke said, Thats why youve never thought of finding a wife and having kids; its because youre afraid of something happening to them, right?

Phil raised his hand. Stop! Were partners now, so take your d*mn psychoa.n.a.lysis away from me.

Luke smiled. Its because were partners that its only right for us to get to know each other. Who knows, you might need me to take care of your family someday.

Phil froze, a flash of interest in his eyes. In the end, however, he still rejected the idea.

They were doing well without him.

The kid, in particular, had already become a big boss, and the family was protected by a private security firm. Few people could touch his family.

Luke glanced at him and took another sip of his coffee. Dont tell me its that kind of movie script about regret at implicating your family?

Phil nodded with a bitter smile, then shook his head. Yes and no.

Luke put the cup down and leaned forward with great interest. What is it

Phil hesitated for a moment before he said, One of my elders kids heard me talk about the work I did when I was young, and later joined the U.S. government. Then, he ran into a brainless idiot who attacked and killed him, just like that.

Luke narrowed his eyes. And then?

Phil let out a long breath. I found an opportunity to capture that idiot and turn him into Swiss cheese before I transferred to s.h.i.+ELD.

Luke looked away. Does your elder know about that?

Phil smiled bitterly. In the end, I was the one who made him curious enough to join this line of work. I do regret it.

Luke nodded. Got it. You didnt tell them, so they thought that you were related to his death somehow.

Phil shook his head sadly. They dont blame me. But hes dead. Whats the point of saying anything? Can it bring him back to life?

Luke was deep in thought. If you dont explain, theyll be unhappy with you and will naturally keep their distance, so they wont be in any danger. Is that what youre doing?

Alarmed, Phil raised his hands in surrender. Ill say it again, dont use your d*mn psychoa.n.a.lysis on me, okay?

Luke snorted. Thats just normal logic. What does it have to do with psychology? You work overtime every day and you dont have a girlfriend. Youre also not in contact with your family. Isnt it reasonable for me to guess that you dont get along?

Phil raised his hands again. Fine, but please stop asking about my personal matters.

Luke said, Whatever.

Phil rolled his eyes. In exchange, why dont you talk about yourself?

Luke chuckled. I have a happy household and my girlfriends are all beautiful. I can call up lady friends whenever I want. What else is there to say?

Phil: F*ck!

He suddenly realized that Big Dipper was curious about other peoples problems precisely because he didnt have any.

So, was Phil a research subject? He shook his head in frustration. Im going to continue training. Make sure your plan for the operation is a good one.

Amused, Luke looked at Phil, who quickly headed toward the training ground, and didnt provoke him anymore.

Phils words and emotions were enough to confirm certain things.

He had tried before, intentionally or otherwise, to verify Phils words.

So, it hadnt been because of Phils work that his birth parents died early on.

The guilt which Phil felt was because he valued family.

In Lukes opinion, what his father had wanted to do had nothing to do with Phil.

For example, was it Roberts fault that Luke chose to become a detective?

The dangers he faced were just a side effect of the system, and had nothing to do with Robert.

For example, Claire might be in danger if she became a detective, but it was the same even if she became a celebrity.

If she ran into danger in the future, could Luke be blamed for not stopping her in the first place?

n.o.body was G.o.d. They couldnt control everything, nor could they be fully responsible for other peoples lives.

Despite how principled Phil was, he had taken advantage of his position to avenge Lukes father. What else was there to say?

That was right, Phil was related to Lukes father.

Luke had known this for a long time..
