Chapter 557 Will the Chairman of the Board Give You Any Trouble?

Shocked, Takagi thought for a few seconds, then shook his head. “Detective Luke, Mr. Weyland can’t be involved in this. He…”

Looking at Luke and recalling the important information that the young man had just told him, he said in an even lower voice, “Mr. Weyland comes from a long line of congressmen. They’re hardcore Republicans.”

Luke got it.

Nobody would believe that a bigshot from a family like that would be involved with extremists.

Unlike the new generation of citizens, who were hot-blooded and easily swayed, families like that had deep foundations and were taught since childhood to hold power; they were more likely to dupe extremists, not the other way round.

Thoughts flashed through Luke’s head, and he gave a light nod. “If that’s the case, ask him to hurry up. I’ll walk both of you out.”

Takagi, however, forced a smile. “Well… There’s a minor problem.”

Luke asked, “What is it? Is it very hard to convince this Mr. Weyland?”

Takagi said in the same low voice, “When Mr. Weyland was in the bathroom just now, it seems the toilet exploded, sending sewage spraying out. He’s probably too busy cleaning up to come out anytime soon…”

Luke couldn’t help but glance in the direction from which he just came.

After getting rid of the two big bags of explosives, he had entered the building from the back because all the manhole covers had been blown off in the area behind the building, and the stench was overwhelming.

Could Mr. Weyland’s poop shower have to do with Luke?

Thinking that, Luke grew solemn and nodded. “Alright, I’ll make arrangements first and contact you later, and then walk you out.” With that, he instantly slipped away.

Remembering the smell behind the building, he didn’t even dare imagine Mr. Weyland’s current situation, because all it would make him do was throw up. He found Selina at the front of the building and told her about Takagi and Weyland.

Selina wasn’t concerned about Takagi, even though the villa they lived in now was a gift from him. She was more curious about something else. “Will this Weyland give you any trouble later?”

Luke said with a bitter face, “I… don’t think

SO?”

He wasn’t very confident when he said that.

After all, anyone who experienced a poop shower had every reason to be mad!

Selina had no solutions either, and could only pat his shoulder. “You better start praying. I’ll contact the officers in the underground parking lot and tell them to let you pass later.”

As they were talking, a group of people came out of the elevator.

Seeing Luke and Selina, who were talking in low voices, the man who was being escorted in the center of the group gave a light exclamation of surprise, then said something to the fat security guard next to him. The fat security guard then went over and said, “Detectives, Mr. Stark would like to ask you something.”

Luke smiled. “Supervisor Happy, we meet

again.”

Happy gave a fake smile and waved his hand in an impatient “please” gesture.

Luke and Selina went over and greeted the man with a very formal attitude. “Mr. Stark, hello.”

Of course, the man was Tony Stark.

Looking at them, he waved at the security guards, who dispersed slightly to block the sight of other people in the place. Only then did he say, “Thank you for everything you’ve done today.”

Neither Luke nor Selina considered it a big deal. They said casually, “We were just doing our jobs.”

ve

Tony Stark, however, raised his hand, hinting that he wasn’t done yet. “Even though someone just blew up my building’s entire sewage system and forced us to seal half the bathrooms in the building, I still have to thank you.”

Both Luke and Selina were lost for words.

Tony Stark said directly, “I’ll have people take care of the aftermath of today’s event. You won’t have any trouble. That’s all.”

He then moved on, and the security guards surrounded him again.

But Stark came to a stop two steps away. He asked, without looking back, “Do you need a reward? Like… half a million dollars?”

Luke chuckled. “Nope. I was ordered to maintain security here. The police department covers my wage in full.” Tony Stark couldn’t help but turn around and observe him carefully for a moment. He nodded. “It seems that the money I spent was worth it.”

He turned around and walked away after he said that.

Luke and Selina looked at each other and chuckled.

It was truly unusual for this mean rich guy to praise anyone.

It wasn’t because Tony Stark’s personality had changed, but because there might’ve been serious problems if Luke and Selina hadn’t intervened today.

Just now, Tony had used his personal smart program to roughly estimate the power of the two bombs.

If there had been any proficient demolition experts among the criminals, and they had triggered the bombs after setting them up in strategic locations at the base of the building, part of the building might have collapsed.

Fortunately, Stark Industries never cut corners when it came to construction.

A regular building would’ve been torn down by the two bags of explosives.

Tony Stark had been at the top of the building. If the building had collapsed, not even the security guards could’ve saved him.

Secondly, there were more than two thousand people in the building just now, and at least half of them would’ve been killed if the building collapsed. For example, Takagi and the chairman of the board of Weyland Corporation were on the first floor. There were also other even more important guests on the other floors as well.

If half the guests were killed, the responsibility would’ve been too much for Stark Industries to bear.

It was for that reason that Tony Stark had stopped and spoken to Luke and Selina of his own accord.

It was also for the same reason that he joked that the fortune he paid had been worth it.

Luke and Selina watched the man get into the Rolls-Royce Phantom at the entrance, before they went about their own business.

Praise from Tony Stark? They couldn’t eat it, nor could it help maintain order.

Twenty minutes later, Luke was wearing a face mask as he got into Takagi’s car. There was another man in the car.

Seeing Luke’s mask, the white old man’s nose couldn’t help twitching, as he felt that his body still had a smell on it.

His already ugly expression got even worse. “Who is he?”

Takagi said in a low voice, “This is Detective Luke Coulson, the person I mentioned to you just now.”

Luke took off his mask and smiled at the white old man. “Mr. Weyland, hello. For various reasons, I need to cover my face right now. Please forgive me.”

Weyland simply nodded without saying anything, but he was a little curious why a minor detective had to cover his face.

The car reached the exit at that point, and a few police officers were already there. Luke rolled down the window and gave them his badge, and revealed his face again.

One of the officers checked the badge and looked at Takagi and Weyland in the car. He instantly nodded. “You’re good to go.”
