The colonel simply told him that the investigation was over, and that a car was waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged and walked out of the building\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheerah and her companions were outside the building. They had been released a long time ago, and were all waiting for Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled brilliantly and said, “Okay, we can finally take a break now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he had been tangled up in the politics of the matter for a bit, he had finally escaped without a hitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were escorted to the gate of the base by a Hummer. After walking for several hundred meters, they got into Sheerah’s limo, which her bodyguards had parked on the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke exchanged a meaningful look with Sheerah, who didn’t say much and only smiled. “I’m a little tired. I’ll go home first. You can see her off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then smiled at the young girl next to Luke and asked, “You don’t mind, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler quickly shook her head. “No, no, no. You can drop me at any bus station in town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheerah shook her head and didn’t say anything else. She simply hinted “work hard” at Luke before she closed her eyes to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Sheerah returned to her place, Luke asked Tyler, “Where do you live?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler hesitated and said, “I... I’m from New York. They took me to the ship as soon as I got off the plane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made her even more depressed was that she was supposed to be reimbursed for her flight, and then paid 10,000 dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she didn’t get the money, and instead had almost been killed by armed criminals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could barely make ends meet in her career, and had been banking on this fee in order to survive for a little while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she had nothing at all except for two hundred dollars in her purse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her hesitation, Luke realized her dilemma, and said to the driver with a smile, “To the Beverly Hills Hotel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver started the limo and sped up slowly as he headed to their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler was rather surprised. “Ah, that’s...” She was going to say that it was too expensive for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luke took out a roll of cash from his pocket and gave it to her. “Just consider it a loan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler looked at the cash, which were all hundred dollar bills. It had to be around two thousand dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stuttered, “T- then how do I contact you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that Luke probably didn’t expect her to pay the money back since he hadn’t given her his contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at her for a moment, Luke smiled and took out a card. “No need to be anxious, everybody runs into difficult situations every now and then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler accepted the card and slowly lowered her head. Her eyes gradually turned red when she remembered what she had gone through in the past two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really difficult to be famous and make a living in show business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gig today might’ve been the start of a different path for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once someone abandoned their determination, they would fall very quickly. Her job tonight would’ve been her first step toward giving up her dream; she had already had a vague sense that she was slowly turning into something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the unexpected hijacking of the battleship had been a huge shock, and had disrupted her future plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering what her agent had insinuated, she looked at the roll of cash and suddenly said, “Do you think it would be better for me to look for a regular job?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was stunned for a moment; he hadn’t expected her to ask such a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a moment, he shook his head. “You need determination and courage, whatever you want to do. You can’t succeed without hard work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Tyler’s blank expression, Luke smiled. “When you make an important decision about the future, you must have a huge amount of courage and willpower; only then will you be able to weather difficulties and setbacks. You’re thinking about switching jobs, but can you persevere with that decision?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shifted his gaze and looked out the window. “Give yourself some time to figure out what you really want, so that you won’t be so quick to regret it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The limo soon reached the hotel, and when Tyler got off, Luke said, “You can call me if you need help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler nodded, and standing at the hotel entrance, she watched the limo disappear from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luke returned home, Selina was watching TV on the couch in a big bath towel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luke, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “How was her performance? Did you record it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged. “She didn’t sing tonight. She spent all her time running.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina exclaimed and sat up straight. “What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Let me shower first. Did you finish your training for the night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina slanted him a resentful look. “Why do you sound like my middle school teacher? I finished, and I just came out of the shower, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded. “Then I’ll tell you after I’ve showered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his shower, he told Selina what happened that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t mention his speculations, like the fact that the criminals might have been after nuclear weapons, or that some of the criminals might have been from the CIA.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina was full of regret. “So exciting? If I knew, I would’ve gone with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Luke said, “With your makeup skills, there wouldn’t have been anything you could do except watch, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina was lost for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a beautiful woman, she naturally knew how to put on makeup, but daily makeup and makeup for a big star’s performance were completely different.She could only glare at Luke for exposing her shortcoming. “Can’t you just comfort me and say something like ‘wow, what a shame’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded idly and said, “Wow, what a shame.” Selina flew into a rage. “Scram!” Saying that, she got up... and went back to her room to sleep. Luke chuckled and put on home clothes, then read the system notifications in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For rescuing the marines and killing the criminals, he earned almost six thousand experience and credit points that night. System: As experience has reached 30,000 points, the host has leveled up to level 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extra stat points: 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and he finally added the points to Mental Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mental Strength 16.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a familiar yet lighter sensation of numbness in his head, as if electricity was running through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subconsciously took out his phone and looked at his hair in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>",1161,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.056Z",1,"novelbin.me","c0679a1cd2a39db7c6b49f42f9d34fae737a5eb35e0426373d02e89c74392257","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-404","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-402",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
