Chapter 1262: New Trump Card, Passing On the Inheritance, and Old Staff
Before Angela obtained Physical Enhancement, even if she was a female UFC fighter, her strength had been less than 20%.
From this, one could see how terrifying this ability’s boost was for body and strength.
Even Luke’s feeler attack with chi had been blocked by Angel’s muscles.
He had almost been sent flying by that attack.
He really wasn’t joking.
Angel was indeed a super girl with more muscles than Luke.
Her breasts were the size of basketballs.
Her muscles were even tougher than Kevlar .
Ordinary 9mm guns were indeed useless against such thick muscles. Her chest muscles would stop any bullets.
Before she obtained Physical Enhancement, no matter how strong she was, she was still just an outstanding woman.
With this ability, she became a mid- to low-tier superhuman.
Luke’s physique was ten times better than that of an ordinary person. With this ability, his body strength finally broke through the normal condition to become extraordinary, and his strength reached a new level.
With this ability as a bridge, he didn’t have to look at Iron Hide Creech’s Elementary Tempering often.
At the very least, he could block bullets with his muscles.
Although he would still be injured after being shot, it definitely wouldn’t be like before, where he would be pierced by bullets.
Coupled with Elementary Self-Healing, this was definitely a life-saving trump card.
…
While the clone was busy with research in New York, Selina was teaching Claire how to practice the Kunlun Chi Refining technique in Texas.
It was an extremely simple process.
Luke had initially wanted the mysterious old man, Gold Nugget No. 2, to “pass down” this skill to Claire, but Luke had been trying to master the technique for a while, so there had been no rush.
Now that Robert and Catherine had both learned it, it made sense for Claire to be taught the Chi Refining technique.
He had Selina teach her to save him trouble and ensure that nothing went wrong.
After teaching Claire for a few hours and finding the difficult points in her cultivation, the mysterious old man, Gold Nugget No. 2, gave Claire a “cheat” that night, which was a record of Gold Nugget and Selina’s cultivation process in their combined state.
Thus, the person at home with the most talent at cultivating chi appeared, and that was Claire.
She learned the basics in half a day. Most of the time had been spent listening to Selina describe the complete cultivation technique and various warnings; in reality, she only cultivated for less than an hour.
Apart from Luke, who had a system cheat, this little monkey was the fastest at comprehending things.
As for confidentiality, a certain dog head old man was very familiar with Luke’s safety rules. He had already set conditions and wouldn’t let Claire mess around.
After Mother’s Day, Luke and Selina returned to Shackelford to inspect Robert’s security company.
There weren’t many people in the company right now. Robert’s old comrades were the backbone, and there was a manager in charge of daily administration. There were also over 20 newbies who had been recruited for training.
They had been training for months. As long as they passed the assessment and obtained various credentials, they could officially start work.
Then, the second batch of people would be next on the agenda.
The second batch would be divided into two groups. One group would still join the security company, and become backup for the first batch.
Luke’s plan was for this security work to become a lucrative roster.
The people who were hired would spend half the time carrying out security assignments and the other half keeping up with their training.
After all, starting work after only half a year of training was just passable. For now, Robert’s old comrades would have to take turns carrying out assignments.
Of course, the security contracts they offered trained members would be stricter, and the penalties would be very high.
As long as they weren’t stupid and didn’t have crooked thoughts, most people wouldn’t abandon this high-paying, stable job.
The second group would enter another defense company and become a special force. In the end, the total number would be around 50 people.
Those people would be paid better and given more training.
After sufficient training, they would receive some low-grade mercenary assignments with clear targets to maintain their condition.
This defense company would definitely make a loss, because its goal wasn’t to make money, but to become something that was standard of many major forces — a private army.
Spending a lot of money to support these people long-term would enable them to be deployed at any time.
This would remove interference from an external party, and Luke would feel better about them undertaking assignments that couldn’t be made public.
Luke had never thought about using these people to commit crimes, but it was best not to casually spread word of certain things.
If he found a temporary mercenary team to carry out a task, these people definitely wouldn’t specially keep it a secret, even if they were given money.
Trying to control the mouths of these mercenaries who toyed with death after paying them was a pipe dream.
Only a company that managed them at all times would maintain the fullest confidentiality.
Also, Luke had a huge advantage over the rest of the world in that he could confirm if there were problems with these people or not.
Whether it was the surveillance of the multifaceted system, the assessment of hostility in the system interface, or Mental Communication and Basic Psychology, he could clearly discern if there was something wrong with these people or not.
Luke didn’t have much time himself, and could only carry out the earliest screening.
But he had a “senior” employee on hand — Bobby Max, former PR manager of Cosmic Cube Technology.
Bobby had been transferred to Titanium Phone Company’s HR department and was now a deputy director.
However, to his colleagues, this was probably an “honorary” title.
He didn’t oversee any of the company’s daily affairs, but always listened in at important company meetings and important business negotiations.
The person who gave Deputy Director Max this power was the queen of the phone company herself, Jenny Gwenis.
As the original owner of Mental Communication, the work Bobby did was colorful.
He was Jenny’s direct subordinate in the company, but didn’t have any resources or business, so nobody would spend time currying favor with him.
He only had one job, and that was to listen to Jenny and conduct a focused evaluation of certain people, before handing her his conclusion.
He didn’t need to give her any numbers or data as proof; all CEO Jenny needed was the conclusion.
Luke also met Bobby regularly, at least once a month, for a private chat.
Bobby Max’s boss was still and always Luke.
The reason he stayed with the phone company instead of relying on his abilities to make his own way was all because of Luke.
The stronger Bobby’s Mental Communication got, the more he respected Luke.
Because he was never able to read this boss’s mind.
