Thus, Selina and Donald hadn’t really been in grave danger yesterday, but Luke could’ve died an unexpected death.
After figuring out what happened, Luke sweated hard. This truly was a dangerous world!
No! He had to boost his Strength to 40 and meet the prerequisite for Elementary Self-Healing
All I need is just another level-up!
Luke couldn’t sit around anymore. Telling Selina to be careful, he left in a hurry.
He had nothing else to do, and it was almost seven at night, which was the perfect time for him to take action.
He had been keeping an eye on WD-36 for a while, and he intended to destroy it tonight.
Selina had to stay at the hospital tonight. Donald’s operation was successful, but he was still in critical condition, so Selina couldn’t leave.
Luke checked her text message and put his phone back into his personal space.
Half an hour later, looking at the huge bungalow before him, he took a deep breath and made his move.
That night, twelve people in one of WD-36’s nests went missing with a lot of drugs and cash.
Nobody knew what happened; at least, nobody in WD-36.
On the other hand, a bunch of bodies suddenly appeared in the nest of a gang that was in ongoing conflict with WD-36.
The gang, called 23rd Street, disposed of the bodies secretly instead of making a big thing out of it.
The twelve bodies included WD-36’s third in command, who was responsible for money and the goods.
23rd Street would’ve been ecstatic if the man were alive, but they couldn’t interrogate a dead man.
Since they couldn’t get anything from the bodies, and they didn’t want to start a war with WD-36, 23rd Street simply kept it to themselves.
However, the heads of 23rd Street had a bad feeling
If WD-36’s third in command could be so easily killed and dumped in their territory, it wouldn’t be too hard for whoever did it to do the same thing to them.
But before they could reach a decision, one of 23rd Street’s nests was turned upside down the next night.
Eight people went missing, and the stash and the cash there were gone as well.
23rd Street grew paranoid. Had they been attacked, too?
They were quite smart, because it was precisely Luke’s doing again.
He could store the bodies of a dozen people in his personal space, but he had no time to dispose of them, so he simply dumped them on other gangsters, confident that they would never dare call the police.
Thus, he dumped the bodies of 23rd Street’s gangsters on WD-36.
What if the two gangs thought of the possibility and teamed up to deal with him?
Well, that would be even better.
If that happened, he could disguise the deaths of the gangsters as the result of a gang fight, and he still wouldn’t need to handle the bodies.
Luke didn’t stop harvesting points after he started.
After five days, the gangsters near USC were all going crazy.
Five hostile gangs were involved. Regarding them as a free cleaning service, Luke would dump the bodies of Gang A on Gang B, and those of Gang B on Gang C every day.
Finally, the gangs couldn’t take it anymore.
The big bosses didn’t meet in person, but had their lackeys communicate with one another, hoping to find the psycho who was slaughtering them.
But right then, the killing and dumping came to a stop.
On the sixth day, after fifteen members of a small gang went missing together, no more bodies emerged, marking the end of the indiscriminate massacre.
The gangsters were relieved.
Six groups of people, totaling almost a hundred individuals, had died. It was the craziest hunt ever.
They could only pray to god that the guy had been killed by a gang.
Luke, on the other hand, checked the system notification in excitement.
Mission: Eliminate drug dealers and destroy the illegal drugs.
Total experience: 1,200. Total credit: 1,200.
Contribution rate: 100%. EXP +1,200. Credit +1,200.
As experience has reached 10,000 points, the host has leveled up to level 11.
Extra stat points: 5.
Another level-up! Finally!
What delighted Luke even more was that the stat points he earned from the level-up was now five.
He would now grow faster.
After his Strength reached 40, he had to focus on Mental Strength.
To better utilize his personal space and meet the prerequisite for certain abilities, he had to boost Mental Strength to 20.
Bobby’s Mental Communication, for example, had a prerequisite of 20 Mental Strength.
That was a mental ability!
Luke guessed that he had to meet the Mental Strength prerequisite if he wanted to learn more mental abilities.
Elementary Self-Healing’s prerequisite was 40 Strength. What about telekinesis and mental control? Would they demand 40 Mental Strength or higher?
Luke went to work in a good mood the next day.
Because of his severe injury and his age, Donald had to rest for at least a month, so Selina was left on her own.
But that wasn’t a bad thing, because Elsa was officially promoted.
And the new sergeant was now recruiting more talent for her team.
As a sergeant, Elsa needed at least two individuals to work for her, and if necessary, their group could work a case with two other groups.
After the Nakatomi Plaza case, Luke had helped bring in a generous donation to the police department, so it had enough funding now to hire new people.
Although the money was meant to be used for improving the police communication equipment and vehicles, some of it could certainly be invested elsewhere.
LAPD had always been severely short of hands, and was constantly trying to recruit more officers.
So, after grooming Luke for two months, Elsa got another rookie detective as her partner to get him familiar with the job.
Luke and Selina were back together as partners.
While she was sorry for Donald, Selina was actually happy to have her old partner back.
Dustin helped out a lot, too, so that Elsa could establish her own team after her promotion.
Elsa was the general commander, Luke was the problem-solver, and Selina and the new detective were support.
Dustin could hence give them some of the tricky cases without needing to get any other police teams to help them.
A team that had worked together for a long time was much more capable and efficient than a team that had just been set up.
