Chapter 560 A Word of Advice and Bright Prospect

“Then they’ll have to deal with you,” Luke finished for him.

He stared at the detector and again asked curiously, “If it was several mutants who used their abilities, how would you be able to tell?” Phil pointed at a number on the detector. “The number here is one, which means that only one mutant used their ability.”

Luke couldn’t help but look at Iron Hide’s body.

Phil smiled. “Creech’s ability is an enhancement type, and won’t be picked up by this detector, which is why we usually have to use both devices together.”

He signaled to Wales, then said to Luke again, “Captain Wales will take care of things here. Let’s go out first.”

Naturally, Luke had no objections.

If he hadn’t been told to guard Iron Hide’s body and the dustbins as important pieces of evidence after he informed Wales of the situation earlier, he wouldn’t have lingered here at all.

As they walked side by side, Phil turned serious. “Luke, I need to give you a word of advice. You’re still young, and you shouldn’t be reckless when you run into something like this. You have family and friends who don’t want anything to happen to you, right?”

Luke was stumped as he looked at Phil.

Phil’s expression was gentle. Luke could tell that this wasn’t an indirect warning, but a friendly reminder.

But we’ve never met before. Is this really something you should say to a total stranger?

Though puzzled, Luke gave an easy smile and nodded. “Got it. I’ll remember that.”

Luke wasn’t worried about his own safety, but now that Phil had said it, he thought about Robert and Catherine.

He had to increase security for Robert and Catherine.

However, he needed to discuss it with Robert first, and hope that the short-tempered guy wouldn’t yell at him. Robert wouldn’t yell at Luke for getting into trouble; instead, he would absolutely say that he was strong enough to crush special forces like the SAS, SWCC, DEVGRU, Ranger, CAG and Spetsnaz.

As to this, Luke had asked before why Robert would beat up people on the same side.

Robert had simply kicked him in ashamed fury and roared, “You think people on the same side never get into fights?”.

In front of this pretentious middle-aged man, Luke could only ask Catherine to deal with him.

Hearing Luke’s reply, Phil nodded with a smile. They reached the lobby entrance by then.

Seeing Luke, Selina walked over to him and asked, “Luke, we good now?”

Phil, however, stretched out his hand first. “You’re Selina, correct?”

Selina was confused. Seeing the middle-aged man’s smile, however, she involuntarily shook hands with him. “And you are?”

Phil replied with a smile, “I’m Wales’s colleague. You may call me Phil. Nice to meet

you.”

His attitude was natural without being overly enthusiastic. He was both approachable and courteous.

Selina suddenly had a strange feeling. She looked at Luke and said, “Nice to meet you too, Agent Phil.”

Phil said, “We’ll deal with the aftermath of this incident for you. You don’t have to worry about your information being leaked. Now, go home, get some rest, and relax.”

He looked at Luke the entire time when he said that.

Luke stretched out his hand again. “Thank you very much, Phil.”

After they said goodbye, Phil turned around and went back inside.

When he returned to the bathroom, Wales, who was now busy, asked, “Phil, do you think very highly of Luke?”

Phil calmly crouched down to help him and replied casually, “Aren’t you interested in this seedling too?” Wales didn’t think too much of it. “Enough. Since your HQ guys have an eye on him, we’ll never get him.”

Phil said with a smile, “He’s too young. We still need to wait at least five years. Who knows where he’ll be by then.” Wales nodded. “That’s right. We discovered him too early.”

Phil was well-known among his colleagues for his friendly manner, and he was the same with regular people.

Luke was an involved party in this case and a prospective agent whom they were optimistic about, so Phil divulging some surface information about mutants to Luke wasn’t against the rules at all.

On the other side, after Luke and Selina got into the car, Selina turned her head and stared at Luke, deep in thought.

As he drove, Luke asked, “What’s up?”

Selina frowned. “Why does this Phil feel so familiar?”

Luke said, “Look here.” Saying that, he turned his head and smiled at her.

Enlightened, Selina clenched her left fist and smacked her right palm. “That’s it! You two look very similar when you smile.”

Luke nodded and drove through the crowded street. “He’s a smiling tiger. Don’t let him fool you.”

Selina: “…Do you know that you’re describing yourself as well?”

Luke shrugged. “You can trust me, but I don’t think you can trust him.”

Selina, however, kept staring at his face. She suddenly shook her head. “It isn’t just your smiles, but the air the two of you have and your looks… Well, fine, the two of you don’t look very similar.”

Luke was unhappy. “Hey, is my hairline that far back?”

Stunned for a moment, Selina then burst out laughing. “Hahahaha. Don’t worry. Given how much hair you have now, you don’t have to worry about your hairline even when you reach Phil’s age.”

Luke snorted and didn’t say anything else.

At that moment, his eyes flashed with a complicated look.

Luke had earned a lot from this surprise attack.

System: Stop the extremist attack by Salim’s gang and rescue the people in the building. Completed.

Total experience: 10,000. Total credit: 10,000.

Contribution rate: 70%. EXP +7,000. Credit +7,000.

Looking at the total experience and credit points for this mission, Luke could only sigh; Stark Industries’ buildings were truly sturdy.

Considering that there had been around two thousand people in the building, saving all of them could have earned him twenty experience and credit points each. However, even if an explosion did take place, there would have been no more than five hundred casualties.

Therefore, the total experience and credit points for this mission wasn’t twenty or forty thousand.

Fortunately, the experience and credit points were just a bonus; Luke had obtained three other important gains.The first important gain was from Iron Hide Creech.

System: You have killed Iron Hide Creech McCoy. You may now learn all of his abilities.

Creech’s abilities: Basic Football, Basic Combat… Elementary Tempering (Prerequisites: 80 Strength, 20 Mental Strength and 20,000 credit points. Temporarily unavailable)

Luke wasn’t too surprised at the 80 Strength prerequisite, but it still gave him a strong headache. How long would it take to gather that many stat points?

However, he very quickly abandoned this meaningless dilemma.

After all, he had made up his mind to improve his Mental Strength to 40 first, and he wouldn’t be adding points to Strength any time soon.

This Elementary Tempering seemed like a great ability, but for the time being, it could only be kept on the list of his abilities as a backup.

Until he learned the ability, he could protect himself with bulletproof vests and special shields.
