How could it be enough to eat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Nugget looked at the woman disdainfully.Hmph! Small chest, little understanding! I would finish these small things in less than ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting the dessert on the open-plan kitchen table, Luke and Selina greeted the people in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Elsa was the only one in the living room, leisurely sipping red wine on the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply nodded at their greetings. “You’re here. Have a seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina sat next to her on the couch and they started chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke sat in an armchair, but his sharp senses told him that something was wrong with Elsa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked back and forth between him and the door repeatedly, as if expecting something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, this expression meant that something unexpected had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t think too much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he entered the apartment, he had completely restrained his Sharp Nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t like to use Sharp Nose during casual gatherings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did, life would be tedious and boring, like an ordinary person who remembered every passerby’s face on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he was resting, he would try his best to be like a normal person and enjoy the pleasures of a normal life, including some small surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sat on the couch for a few minutes and chatted casually with Elsa and Haley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic soon shifted to law and order in Manhattan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley talked mostly about the previous explosions and the black mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa indeed spoke about the attack on Kingpin’s forces, as well as the body dump at the pier in Whitestone Park last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them talked about the details, and just discussed how these would affect law and order in Manhattan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Selina exchanged helpless glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were familiar with the topic of conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they couldn’t reveal the truth, and could only watch Elsa and Haley criticize NYPD’s incompetence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right, these two ladies were on the same side as they criticized NYPD, especially the frontline operators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Selina looked at each other again. Were they talking about them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Luke and Selina, Elsa took a sip of wine and said, “This has nothing to do with you. You’re not the only field officers in NYPD.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke could only nod. He wouldn’t let the 15th Precinct’s sh*t be pinned on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them looked over and saw two girls coming out of the room. They were still talking. “...No, no, no, I don’t think that’s right. If you use regular colors for everything else, the contrast will come out better...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...But I think that’s enough, the mysterious and powerful dark knight...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa looked at the two girls, and then at Luke, as if she were enjoying a show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thoughtful look appeared on Selina’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke, on the other hand, immediately realized what was going on. He gave Elsa a look which said, “You did that on purpose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa shrugged, feeling no guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already giving him face by remaining quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina recalled what Luke had said about the guests tonight. Foreign + art student + young girl. Vague memories from almost a year ago floated up, especially of those very stylistic pictures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that, she also glanced at Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged, indicating that he hadn’t known. Then, he stood up and said with a smile, “Hello, Margaret, Elena. It’s been a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls stopped talking and looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luke, you’re here.” It was Margaret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luke?” Elena was shocked. “Why are you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled and said, “Shouldn’t that be my line?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hugged Elena affectionately and then stretched out a hand to Margaret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned for a moment, Margaret shook his hand and said, “I’m glad you’re here, Luke. Do you know each other?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa looked at Selina in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley, on the other hand, looked at Elsa, Selina, and Luke with great interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Elena is a good friend of mine. We’ve known each other for a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Margaret nodded and observed the blushing Elena. “You’re not the American boy that Elena mentioned, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke looked at Elena and smiled. “If I’m that unmatched in her heart, that should be me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa immediately turned around, and so did Haley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they found that Selina didn’t seem surprised at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Selina stood up and stretched out her hand to Elena. “Hi, I’m Selina, Luke’s partner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, Selina.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Elsa and Haley looked at Luke, only to discover that he was still smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy, was he so good? This was okay? Elsa was suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley, on the other hand, clicked her tongue secretly. A certain someone wasn’t the least bit startled at the arrival of this foreign “friend.” How suave of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina glanced at Elsa and Haley, and gave them a cryptic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her current sense of perception wasn’t bad, either. She was aware that Elsa and Haley weren’t deliberately hiding their expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they didn’t know was that she had seen all of Elena’s pictures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, she was the one who knew Luke’s private life the best; she wouldn’t let anyone else unrelated enjoy a free show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this unexpected meeting, they sat down, each with their own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was no different from any other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa would just watch the show at most, and didn’t really care about Luke’s private life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like how Luke sometimes joked about her “boyfriend” in private, but wouldn’t bring it up in front of other people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley preferred to observe the subtle expressions of these people, and she wouldn’t ruin her own party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Margaret and Elena were the most innocent. They didn’t notice the subtle changes in everyone else’s expressions at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unperturbed, Selina poured herself a cup of juice and gave some cookies to Gold Nugget, who was at her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>",1019,"2026-06-06T03:36:06.319Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4082daed2ca3ae71270d26f4bf81ffb1695702804ade1380392b830939eb162","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-896","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-894",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
