Chapter 725: Each with Their Own Thoughts and Gains

What Claire trusted the most was Luke’s safety training.
Getting carried away before you confirm your victory can get you killed.
Even if she had that weird Glutton…
“Apologize! I’m not weird. Also, didn’t I tell you not to call me by my real name? That’s a spell, understand?” The low voice rang out again, and this time, it spoke more quickly.
Claire’s apology was even quicker. “Sorry, Gl- uh, you.”
As she communicated with this mysterious existence, she examined the criminals before she finally relaxed.
The only survivor was the unlucky guy whose bird had already flown away, but he had passed out from the pain and blood loss.
The other criminals, including the one she shot in the chest, were all dead.
“Oh my god! You did this?” Karen mumbled.
Claire pulled a long face. “Would you believe me if I said that it wasn’t me, but something else?”
“I’m not something else! Apologize!” the deep voice roared in frustration.
Sorry. Claire apologized quickly.
She also thought of something else: If I can’t call you by that name, what should I call you?
“As long as you want to speak with me, I can sense it. You don’t have to specially call for me.” With that, the deep voice fell silent.
Claire still wanted to talk to the deep voice.
Karen, who had finished the inspection, suddenly turned around and gave her a peck on the cheek. “Cool! Girl! You’ve been hiding your shooting skills all this time. Were you afraid you would hurt your classmates during training?”
Claire: “Huh?”
Karen couldn’t stop talking excitedly. “This is awesome! I have a super cool policewoman by my side. My mother even said that women can’t be police officers, and told me to go back and learn music or painting. Haha, I want to see what she has to say now about the facts.”
Claire smacked her butt.
“What are you doing?” Karen covered her butt and jumped around.
“Are you sure that if you tell your mother that your schoolmate killed six armed criminals in one shot, she’ll let you continue in this job?” Claire glared at her.
Karen: “…Fine, I won’t tell her. But you can’t keep this a secret from the police department, right? You’ll have to write a report when you get back. Do you need my help?”
Claire recalled how Selina had told her about the investigation, report and psychological evaluation that followed the shooting and killing of a suspect, and she felt her head ache. “How can you help?”
Karen said, “I have an uncle in LAPD Internal Affairs, so you know what I mean.”
Claire: “Terms.”
Luke had once said that as long as she had been shooting in the line of duty, the aftermath was troublesome, but it wasn’t a big deal.
She didn’t think that Karen would help her for free. Even though they were close, it wasn’t to the point of wasting resources on her.
“Firstly, from now on, you’re my personal shooting coach… and combat coach,” said Karen excitedly.
Claire sneered. “In your dreams. I’ll only be your consultant for two hours a month. Take it or leave it.”
Karen: “Deal.”
Stunned for a moment, Claire finally understood. “You were prepared for two hours anyway?”
Karen smiled without answering. “Secondly, I’m chasing your brother. You have to help me.”
Claire refused decisively. “No way.”
Looking at Karen’s face, she added, “I won’t make trouble, but if you want to chase him, do it yourself. I don’t have time to play this childish game with you.”
Karen thought for a moment before she nodded. “Deal.”
She knew that while Claire seemed cheerful and generous, she had a strict bottom line.
Whoever tried to force her would only rebound even harder.
Karen’s family principle was to get as much of the best benefits as possible.
Quitting while she was ahead was also a family teaching.
Claire, on the other hand, mumbled to herself, I would be crazy to help you go after Luke. If you’re rejected, you can only complain angrily to me.
She also knew that Luke had very little patience for people other than his family.
However, his cold nature was usually hidden by his gentle appearance and manners.
Of course she wouldn’t agree to such a hot potato of a condition.
After the two friends reached an agreement, they let the patrol officers know to clean up the mess.
Luke didn’t know that some unreliable dog head had finally done something completely unreliable. He and Selina were busy chasing thugs around the city.
That night, he earned a lot of experience and credit points from throwing out over a thousand tear gas grenades.
With his tear gas grenades, the mob quickly turned from gangs of hundreds to small gangs of ten to twenty people, and then into groups of three to five.
As he broke up these troublemakers, his experience and credit points went from around 100 to between 30 and 50 points. Ultimately, they weren’t even worth 10 points.
However, that didn’t stop him from working hard the whole night.
He earned more than 5,000 experience and credit points from taking down these small fry.
He had also earned more than 2,000 experience and credit points from saving some people and beating up others with baby Iron Man at the beginning.
His experience in the system had also increased to 55,730/90,000.
Credit points: 44,230
Luke was satisfied.
After he did two rounds of the southeast district, the chaos from the earthquake finally passed.
As the sun rose, the riots gradually settled.
Claire was already asleep when Luke returned home. She had called at seven in the morning to tell Luke and Selina that she had already returned home and eaten, so they didn’t have to worry about her.
After a quick shower, they heated up the sandwiches which they had prepared beforehand and had breakfast.
Selina went straight to bed.
Luke, on the other hand, sat quietly in the living room and read the news on his tablet.
As expected, the news in Los Angeles had exploded once again.
The TV was full of news about the various earthquakes, including the one in San Francisco, which was much worse.
They probably wanted the people of L.A. to feel a little better — at the very least, Los Angeles wasn’t the worst off from the earthquake this time.
Thanks to Professor Lawrence Hayes’s early warning, the number of casualties from this Californian earthquake wasn’t as high as they had expected.
Only 37 people had died in Los Angeles in the earthquake, and 76 in San Francisco.
Of course, it was only the number of deaths that was small.
Too many people had been injured, and it was very hard to come up with an estimated number.
Also, there had been huge riots in Los Angeles and San Francisco last night.
By morning, it had basically been confirmed that the riots in Los Angeles wouldn’t continue to grow, and instead were slowly settling down.
San Francisco, however, wasn’t so lucky. The riots there continued even during the day, and many poor people from the surrounding areas had charged into the city to make a quick buck.
Naturally, it was a huge headache for the police department there.
