Don’t you think you should?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled. “But Mr. Stark, that photo of that poor cover girl trembling in the cold outside your house wasn’t fake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he turned around and ignored Tony Stark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers up ahead gestured to indicate that the team could start moving again. Luke and Selina started walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was little Tony could do. The editor of Moon News had only apologized for the slander about Tony’s impotence, not for the naked cover girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he had met people like Luke before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were definitely more people who hated him than who liked him, and Tony couldn’t pick on either of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the gorgeous officer’s powerful movements, pleasing face, and beautiful curves were a cut above his usual target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony was too busy considering that to notice that Bill was gloating next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Tony’s callousness, most people would only applaud if he stumbled and fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annoyed, Tony stopped at his car and said to Luke, who wasn’t far away, “I’m taking your partner to Xochi on a date this evening, and we’re going to have a lovely night after that. Is there anything you want to say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled. “How about a bet? I bet that you won’t succeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony said, “Let’s wait and see.” He then got into his car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until an hour later that Luke and Selina were finally done with the assignment. They went to have lunch together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were having sandwiches and Dr. Pepper, Luke said, “You heard the playboy’s challenge, didn’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina’s eyes glowed. “Of course I did. Thank you, Luke!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was confused. “Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That idiot offered to treat me to Xochi after you needled him a little. Do you know how expensive the food there is? I’ve been wanting to try the place out for so long, but I don’t have the money for it,” said Selina excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was dazed. “Huh?” It finally occurred to him that Xochi seemed to be a Mexican restaurant, which was Selina’s favorite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a moment, Luke suddenly smiled. “That works, but I wasn’t lying about what I said to Mr. Stark just now. Don’t get kicked out of the door naked in the middle of the night – you can eat, but no drinks after, and you have to come home after dinner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina snorted in dissatisfaction, but still said obediently, “Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they left work later that day, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped not far from them, and a somewhat familiar man emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to Selina, “Miss Selina, I’m the head of Mr. Stark’s security team. I’m here to take you to have dinner with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina glanced at Luke. Luke said, “Remember what I said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina sniffed and nodded slightly. She got in the car, and it soon drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, the head of security never once looked at Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke stared at the car and checked his phone. “Well, it’s half past six. I can call her at half past seven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had made a bet with Tony Stark. Although the guy hadn’t explicitly accepted it, what if the system had acknowledged it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he certainly wouldn’t allow the playboy to hit on Selina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, that was his reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke drove the police car back to the police station and rode his bike home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Selina wasn’t here, he simply bought instant noodles for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was garbage food, it certainly tasted great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t had any for a long time, so he bought some from the Chinese supermarket on his way home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a shower, he had a cup of tea and watched TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was good to relax for a bit after a busy day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his phone rang before half past seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the call, and Selina’s voice came through. “Come and pick me up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was surprised. “Huh? Where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xochi! I’m at the entrance.” Selina sounded rather calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Alright, I’m on my way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, Luke stopped his bike and smiled. “Miss Selina, your driver is here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina was dumbfounded, and Tony Stark’s face twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Luke was here on his bike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Xochi wasn’t far away from their apartment, or it might’ve taken him an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for dinner. Goodbye, Mr. Stark.” Selina was pretty used to Luke’s way of thinking. After a stumped pause, she sat on the bike frame, since the bike didn’t have a backseat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a lot of things that Tony Stark wanted to say, but he could only watch Luke and Seline leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was somewhat jealous when he saw how close they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t you too shameless?One of them gulped down everything when she got here, and left once she was full, while the other even picked her up on a bike.Are you trying to piss me off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Tony Stark drove his car up to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two security cars followed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a minute, his car caught up to the bike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark rolled down the window and shouted at Luke, “Boy, I’ll remember you. What’s your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke glanced at him and said, “My name is Luke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark sniffed. “Selina and I will hook up sooner or later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled. “Well, I’m looking forward to it, but I think I’m the winner today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark said disdainfully, “Boy, it’s easy if I want to win...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled. “Of course, I have no doubt of that, but are you ready to pay the penalty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark was stunned. “What are you talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His car suddenly jerked to a stop, and Luke waved at him with a smile. “Farewell, Mr. Stark the Rich. You better get your car fixed first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until then that Tony Stark realized that he had hit a car that was parked on one side of the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had covertly moved off the road since a while ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to talk to him, Tony Stark had subconsciously kept the car close to the bike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luke talked to him and distracted him, the car had edged closer and closer to the kerb, until it finally hit another car that was parked next to the sidewalk.\u003C\u002Fp>",1067,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.054Z",1,"novelbin.me","b69e4d14d5a0255619b3c53c96ed99f91dd884c206a0e8a557e5782f8989c7b6","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-96","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-94",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
