The experience gained was insufficient for another level up.

After Luke’s previous level up, he had only accumulated around 400 experience points. With his newly gained 125 points, his total experience was still less than 600 points.

There was no helping it since Granny Lucy had been too ferocious.

Looking at the mission contribution rate, it was obvious that Granny Lucy had snatched the other half of the contribution.

This hunter granny had first frightened the kidnappers with two warning shots. After that, she even killed one of them. Thus, it wasn’t odd for her to earn half of the total contribution.

Luke could only grumble inwardly that she was too formidable – excessively formidable, in fact. She didn’t have a system, and she didn’t need all those contribution points. What was the point of working so hard, then?

But grumbling was all that Luke did.

He was also aware that without the granny’s help, Claire might have been kidnapped, and things could have been much worse.

Just from how the two had drawn their guns without any hesitation, it was obvious that they were hardened criminals. In fact, they didn’t even look like your average kidnappers.

Thus, Granny Lucy deserved every bit of the contribution credited to her.

As Luke was deep in thought, the bathroom door opened.

Claire walked out with only a towel wrapped around her.

When she saw Luke, her eyes lit up as she bounced forward and hugged him like a spoiled child. “Luke, you were sooo amazing today! Will you turn into a superhero after today? Hmm, a superhero like the Green Arrow or something?”

Luke rolled his eyes. “Do I look wealthy to you?”

Claire shook her head without hesitation.

Luke replied, “There you have it. The Green Arrow is a rich Mr Perfect, with nothing better to do than become a superhero. I’m a police officer, and catching criminals is my job. I make a living out of catching criminals.”

Claire asked, “Huh? Must superheroes be rich?”

Luke replied, “Not really. But do you know what’s the strongest superpower?”

Claire shook her head.

Luke answered, “Money. Money is the strongest superpower.”

Claire was unconvinced. “How is that possible?”

Luke replied, “Well, you might understand the truth in about five years or so.”

Luke knew that in five years, a super wealthy playboy would appear and start showing off in front of the entire world.

As Luke mused to himself, he lowered his head and said, “Hey, are you getting off me or not? I’m sweaty all over. You’re done with the bathroom, right?”

Claire got off him resentfully and pinched his chest before saying, “You’re so muscular, why can’t you let me lean on you for a little while?”

Luke’s face was filled with dark lines.

This naughty monkey’s mouth was getting more and more deadly nowadays.

Claire walked away, and didn’t forget to snort arrogantly as she left.

When Luke glanced at her, he was rendered speechless.

The stupid girl didn’t even wrap the towel around herself properly. Part of the towel was still raised behind her.

But more importantly, as she had just finished showering, she was wearing nothing inside. Thus, her fair backside was out for all the world to see.

Luke couldn’t even be bothered to say anything about that.

They grew up together. He had seen far more than this.

In fact, the family album was filled with her naked baby pictures.

After the naughty sister left, Luke entered the bathroom. After a quick shower, he returned to his room and went to bed soon after.

The next day, Robert and Luke went to the police department early in the morning.

A few police officers were already busy working.

Some of them were filled with energy; these were the ones who had arrived that morning. Some of them were dead tired with dark circles under their eyes; these were the unlucky souls who had worked overtime last night.

Robert asked, “Bob, what do we know about these two?”

Bob was the poor sod that had to work through the night.

Normally, he would be able to goof off and take a nap during the night shift, but he had to work through all of last night to gather information on the two kidnappers.

Attempting to kidnap Robert’s daughter was akin to poking a hornet’s nest in this town.

Bob opened his mouth in a wide yawn, gunk still stuck in the corner of one eye as he replied, “Chief, both of them are gang members with criminal records.”

He paused to look at Luke before continuing, “Moreover, they were from the same group as the drug traffickers Luke caught previously.”

Robert frowned, “Anything else?”

Bob lowered his voice almost subconsciously as he continued, “This gang seems to be related to the Carlos gang in Mexico.”

Robert asked, “Which Carlos?”

Bob replied, “The Carlos Family which just rose to power in the last two years. Even in Mexico, they’re known for their ruthlessness.”

Robert’s eyebrows knitted even tighter when he heard that. “Send me a copy of everything you have.” He then left.

Luke also frowned deeply.

Mexican cartels had always been known for their ruthlessness; if this Carlos Family was known for their ferocity in particular in a place like Mexico, that meant that they were big trouble.

Luke walked to his own desk. Selina was already there, currently busy with work.

When Luke greeted her, she stopped whatever she was doing and asked in excitement, “Did you really pick a fight with the Carlos Family?”

Luke shook his head. “I don’t know. When I was on the way home last night, I saw two people trying to kidnap Claire. So, I killed one and Lucy blasted the other with her shotgun.”

Selina asked blankly, “Which Lucy?”

Luke replied, “Lucy at 36 Westriver Street.”

Selina had a look of disbelief on her face. “That Granny Lucy? She’s almost 60 years old, right?”

Luke replied, “Yes. She just celebrated her 61st birthday three months ago.”

Selina replied, “You’re kidding me, right?” She had just arrived at the police department and had yet to go through the case file. Thus, she doubted Luke’s words.

Luke replied, “No, I’m not kidding. If I had her aim, I would have been able to kill the two criminals instantly.”

Selina replied, “You’re exaggerating, right?”

Luke continued, “She used a double-barreled shotgun which she inherited from her grandfather. The first shot was a warning, and with the second shot, she blasted a hole through the criminal’s torso.”

Selina: 0.0!

Done talking, the two started working.

They were busy gathering information on the backgrounds of the two kidnappers as well as the Carlos Family.

After an entire morning, Luke had an unsightly expression on his face once he went through the information he and the other officers had gathered.

The two dead criminals were members of an American gang, the Limedog Gang, which was backed by the Carlos Family.

But more importantly, the fellow Luke had kicked to death was one of the important ringleaders of the Limedog Gang, Francisco Carlos.

His elder brother was the current leader of the Carlos Family, Diego Carlos.

Big trouble was on the horizon.

From the information gathered so far, the Carlos Family did things in an extremely vicious and bloody manner.

Previously, Luke had merely caught two insignificant underlings of the Limedog Gang, yet Francisco Carlos had personally come to kidnap Claire in response.

Now that Luke had killed Francisco Carlos, Diego Carlos would be crazy for revenge.

They owed their fame to their ruthlessness, and if they allowed the death of their leader’s brother to slide, the entire criminal organization would crumble before long.

Luke grumbled inwardly that he had only been on the job for two months, yet something like this had happened to him. He was truly unlucky!
