Chapter 1951: A Lasting Relationship

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As they chatted, Luke’s gaze fell on Peter every now and then, and he sighed inwardly. The little spider… was ten years old!

After another two years of middle school, Peter might become New York’s ‘friendly neighborhood’ Spider Man at any time, but it was even more likely that he would just be an ordinary New York citizen forever.

After all, he would have to first encounter that strange spider test subject.

But in this Marvel world that had changed so much, would Peter really encounter that spider again?

Luke didn’t feel conflicted, however.

Given Peter’s personality, if he had to choose between ‘letting Uncle Ben live’ or ‘becoming Spiderman,’ he would undoubtedly choose the former.

Now that Luke had ensured Uncle Ben’s safety, Peter could grow up happily.

Hm, look at the way the little guy looked at him with the helmet – he was almost moved to tears!

This was the taste of happiness.

Luke nodded at Peter with a smile and said, “You’re welcome. You deserve it.” He then turned around and went to chat with Director George Stacy.

It wasn’t strange at all for this person to show up here.

The renovation company, the salvage company, Tesnack and the delivery business didn’t have a lot of assets on the surface, but they brought a lot of benefits to society.

Tesnack and the delivery service were also subsidized, which provided the officers of the 15th Precinct with cheap yet top-notch food and service.

Director George had joked many times that Tesnack was like the 15th Precinct’s kitchen.

He didn’t mind getting closer to Luke, Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

It was the 15th Precinct who got the benefits, not him; this wasn’t an exchange of benefits.

The employees of these companies were also the most useful human surveillance cameras since they were out and about on the streets all the time.

A lot of time when investigating crime scenes, some delivery guys and renovation workers who were done with work could be found nearby.

The economy in Clinton had developed steadily over the years, and law and order there was the best in New York.

Thanks to Luke’s help, George was promoted from captain to inspector, but he was still with the 15th Precinct.

As long as he was promoted to deputy chief, he would have a chance to become the head of the police department in Manhattan.

It would be good for Uncle Ben and Aunt May’s business operations to know someone at the level.

More importantly, Director George had a good character and a bottom line. He wasn’t the kind of person who only cared about benefits and not relationships.

It was for this reason that although Luke had contributed a little to his promotion, he never mentioned it.

Letting Director George and Uncle Ben get closer on equal footing was the way to form a lasting relationship.

…

Director George didn’t see Luke often, and this time, he decisively didn’t let Luke go. After chatting for a while, he brought up Luke’s ‘job.’ “Your agency is still open, right?”

Luke paused for a moment and weighed the pros and cons. In the end, he didn’t want to ruin his image as an honest and reliable young man. “Well, I’ve been busy doing hands-on work recently, so it’s on hold.”

“That’s good. I…” Director George was halfway through his sentence when he realized that something wasn’t right. He was stunned. “What? On hold?”

Luke blinked innocently. “That’s right. Otherwise, where do you think Peter’s study helmet came from?”

Director George choked again. That was right. Luke had even made such a high-tech product. How could he have the time to be a private investigator?

Luke glanced at Peter and mumbled to himself,?Look at the gift I gave you. It’s not too much for you to take the blame for taking up my precious time, right?

At that moment, Gwen hugged Peter’s head with a smile and whispered something in his ear.

Peter hesitated. “Should I ask Luke?”

Then… Gwen dragged him over.

Gwen smiled ingratiatingly at her father, George, before she secretly poked Peter’s butt.

As the poking got harder and quicker, Peter said gloomily, “Luke, ah, Luke, can I lend Gwen this helmet?”

Luke nodded and turned to look at Director George.

Director George was about to say something, when Gwen’s big eyes sparkled with pleading as she looked at her father.

The director coughed and immediately turned his head away.

Watching the father and daughter for a moment, Luke suddenly smiled widely. “No problem.”

Gwen immediately smiled brightly at him.

Luke said, “But this is a gift for Peter to study hard, so you have to help each other.”

Gwen nodded vigorously.

Peter was lost for words.

Looking at the director, who was still pretending not to exist, Luke chuckled. “It would be best if he comes to you with the helmet, or if you come to him to use it.”

Director George finally turned around. “This is too hard on Peter.”

Luke asked, “Peter, are you afraid of hard work?”

Peter wanted to say that he was, but Gwen was poking him again. He could only shake his head with difficulty. “No.”

Gwen jumped up and pulled Peter into the house. “Let me play with it for a while.”

Director George’s face was dark as he watched his daughter leave. He then turned to look at Luke. “Did you do that on purpose?”

Luke picked up his beer. “To friendship…”

Director George thought for a moment, then shook his head and laughed. “You’re right. Peter… Hm, he’s very honest.”

Luke:?D*mn, you can even make “honest” sound like a curse!

After joking around, Luke picked up from where Director George had left off earlier.

Director George simply explained that he had an old colleague, Bennett Carson, who was now in Charleston, West Virginia.

Bennett lost his job after killing an innocent suspect in the first half of the year, and was staying with his sister, Angela, for the time being. In the end, she was murdered two days ago in a strange way.

Bennett was a pretty skilled police officer.

But a lot of things about the scene of Angela’s death didn’t make sense, and his experience in cracking cases was useless.

He had already seen the local forensics expert, who couldn’t tell him anything, and who had suggested that he look for a better forensics expert.

Bennett could only try calling around to old friends, including Director George.

For the sake of an old friend, Director George found another forensics expert who was willing to make some extra money.

In the end… something happened to that expert as well.

Director George didn’t dare be careless anymore, but he wasn’t the director of the PD in Charleston, so he thought of Luke.

It wasn’t like he wanted to dig a hole for Luke; Luke had privately spread the word that he was interested in strange cases.

Luke had received a lot of commissions from his old friends in NYPD in the last few years, but in most cases, he didn’t need to take action before his A.I. program + intelligence system combo was able to find some leads.

Few of these cases involved superpowers, but they were better than nothing.
