After they left the hospital, Selina asked, “The Elsworths?”
Luke said, “It should take a few days for official news to come out, but it’s unlikely that they’ll continue to cause trouble in Los Angeles.”
Kick a man when he’s down. Now that the family was under investigation, it was unknown how much power they could keep.
The entire Elsworth family was like a huge net that couldn’t be destroyed so easily, but a large part of it would definitely disappear.
At the stone castle, Luke had only taken the secret files on the Blood God sacrifice. He hadn’t touched the evidence of Sheldon and the others selling people as “livestock” for blood as well as their own amusement.
Just a small portion of these things could wipe out Sheldon’s political power, and the Elsworths’ influence in other circles would come under suspicion.
No country would want a vampire on the political stage.
Humans had limited lifespans. How could they compete with a vampire who could live for hundreds of years?
When they arrived at the police department, they found many detectives still talking in the Major Crimes Division.
Listening to them, Luke walked over to Sonia’s desk with a strange expression. “Nobody wants to work today?”
Sonia looked away from the screen and said, “That’s right. We were discussing Batman’s first appearance, and no one’s in the mood to go out.”
Speechless for a moment, Luke said, “Seriously?”
Sonia looked at him strangely. “Are you an alien? Aren’t you excited at all? It’s Batman.”
Luke raised his hands in surrender. “But Batman doesn’t pay our salaries. He probably doesn’t need us detectives to become his loyal fans, right?”
Sonia said, “Fine, that makes sense. So what I’m more concerned about…”
She pouted at the screen.
Luke looked at the screen and saw that it was playing The Colin Show from last night.
But there was no Batman on screen, only Sheerah talking on a phone.
Luke asked, “Titanium phone?”
Sonia said, “Yes, I’m very interested in one as well, but it hasn’t been released yet. I’m already thinking of buying one.”
Luke smiled. “You want to take a photo with Batman too?”
Sonia said, “No, this thing is very useful for gathering intelligence. It’s like a portable computer. At the very least, it can send basic texts and images. We can’t go out for work with a laptop, but we can bring phones out, right?”
Luke said, “That’s true.”
“I’ve already started saving up. I’m going to buy one as soon as it’s released on August 8,” said Sonia.
Luke raised an eyebrow. “Saving up? Don’t tell me you can’t afford a few hundred bucks.”
Sonia was vexed. “I don’t have any money. I’m still paying back my college loan, and that will be for a long time. I can only save a bit on some cosmetics.”
Luke said, “It’s fine. You have good skin. Going without for one month won’t be a problem for you.”
Sonia’s face turned even darker. “F*ck off! I don’t want to talk to you.”
It was because she was close to Luke that she didn’t curse him roundly for joking about her skin.
Luke slipped away with a chuckle and checked in with Elsa before he left again.
Claire, on the other hand, called him. “Luke, the police academy is preparing to give the students special treatment this week.”
Luke didn’t think much of it. “Oh, is it a bonus?”
Claire said, “I wish, but that’s just a dream. There was a new notification from the police academy that students who performed well during this earthquake can sign a letter of intent with the police department and become official police officers in two months.”
Luke asked, “And you’re on that list?”
Claire nodded. “What do you think I should do?”
Luke fell silent.
Claire had come to Los Angeles for college, but she had gone to the police academy out of curiosity.
Now, this little monkey really looked like a police officer.
In the end, Luke said, “Don’t be in a hurry to make a decision. The training isn’t over yet. Think about it for a few more days. But no matter what your decision is, you have to be responsible for your future.”
Claire was a little disappointed, but she still hummed in acknowledgment and hung up.
Looking at the indecipherable expression on Luke’s face, Selina said, “If you’re worried about her, why didn’t you recommend that she go to college?”
Luke sighed. “Since Claire asked me about it, it means that she’s already considered it. She’s also a police officer. I’m her brother, but I can’t help her make a choice.”
Selina said, “But that’s college! I wanted to go to college when I was young, but unfortunately…”
Luke said gloomily, “Even I didn’t go to college. How can I convince Claire?”
Selina was lost for words.
This reason really was too hard to refute.
The most helpless thing was that he was now still doing very well.
Even if Claire went to college and then came out to become a police officer, she might not be able to do as well as Luke.
A 19-year-old level three detective would probably become a sergeant in his early twenties. Few people in the whole of the police system could rise up in such a way.
Selina quickly dropped the matter.
Claire was Luke’s sister. If he didn’t want to interfere, she certainly wouldn’t.
A moment later, she was amused. “Hey, aren’t you attending a police academy?”
Luke said, “That’s right. I haven’t been in a number of days anyway. I’ll go find Remick and see if he has a task for me.”
Noticing Selina’s mocking gaze, he shrugged. “Fine, I’m going to ask him about this promotion. I might be able to give Claire more time to think about it.”
Selina turned around and took out three chocolate lollipops from the box. “Want one?”
Luke said, “Yes.”
The two of them and the dog arrived at the police academy with lollipops in their mouths.
After finding Remick, Luke simply stated his purpose.
Remick didn’t have anything to hide. “The police department doesn’t have enough police officers. This is a special case this time, and city hall has given the department the green light: As long as you’ve been a student for three months, you can become an official police officer.”
He then looked at Luke and said, “So, you made it.”
Luke nodded knowingly.
This rule also applied to his student batch.
Over a thousand students had been given the green light.
In the future, if anyone wanted to question Luke’s police academy record, they would have to go through the records of nearly a thousand students.
But that was just a small issue.
He had long made arrangements for his identity as a police officer.
“What if a student doesn’t take the position now, but takes it in a few years?” he asked.
Remick was stunned for a moment before he understood. “Your sister?”
Luke nodded. “I’m just asking. After all, there’s no harm in going to college.”
Remick certainly approved.
How did he get to this position?
First of all, he obtained a decent college degree.
