Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 1144 - Father's Broken Heart and Bored Partner

Chapter 1144: Father’s Broken Heart and Bored Partner

“Yes! It was a lot of fun.” Mindy was happy, and didn’t notice her father’s subtle expression. She simply smiled and nodded hard. “Oh, right, Luke wants you to have a look at my new friends.”

Damon’s initially conflicted heart was slightly comforted. Good, his daughter hadn’t forgotten all about her father after going out to play.

He had to calm down and try to get used to the fact that Mindy had cla.s.smates and friends, and not just him.

A moment later, he was dumbfounded as he watched Mindy and Nikki’s ferocious fight on the screen. After a long while, he asked, “Is your friend also…”

Mindy naturally knew what her father was thinking. She immediately rolled her eyes. “She lives on the Upper West Side. Her father is a senior manager at some company, and her mother is an accountant.”

Damon was even more surprised. “Indeed, she doesn’t act like a killer, but she can actually spar with you?”

Mindy chuckled. “It’s a girls’ self-defense club.”

Damon’s face darkened. Are you kidding me? The men’s self-defense club is dead if they p.i.s.s you off.

Mindy wasn’t in a hurry, and played the second video after the first one ended.

It was a video of her fight against Monica.

Damon was now apathetic, and didn’t ask the stupid question of whether or not this girl was a killer like them.

He knew that his daughter would tell him.

That was because Luke telling Mindy to let Damon know was definitely to give Damon the heads-up.

It would be irresponsible not to let Damon know that such strong friends had appeared next to his daughter.

It didn’t matter whether Luke had confirmed that the two girls were good or bad; the main thing was that Damon had to confirm it himself.

Mindy was his daughter, after all.

Twenty minutes later, Damon finally heard what happened from his overly excited daughter.

He only had one word for it: Motherf*cker!

It was perfectly normal for his daughter to run into a campus b*tch like Brooke. It was something she would have to face ordinarily; there was no need to make a fuss about it.

Mindy’s mental fort.i.tude and pride were enough to support her through this uncomfortable period. In the end, it would only be those girls’ bad luck.

But Luke had pulled strings and turned Nikki and Monica into Mindy’s friends, which made Damon’s heart ache. Wasn’t this supposed to be an ordinary life? How did his daughter go out and casually make friends with two “mutuals”?

He was conflicted, but didn’t plan to meddle in his daughter’s school life.

But he heard that the two girls had worked together to beat up a dozen hoodlums when they were 13 or 14, which was how they became good friends.

Now, Mindy and the two girls were hanging out together, and his daughter had beaten up more hoodlums than they had, and was a little resistant to ordinary school life.

What was it going to be like when the three girls were together?

Damon felt that he had to come up with a contingency plan for the future.

Hm, he could also call Luke and ask him if he had done it on purpose! Just as Mindy was about to adapt to her new life, why did she suddenly make these two “new friends”?

Soon, Luke received Damon’s call while he was on his way to Flus.h.i.+ng.

He couldn’t be bothered to deal with his paranoid father at the moment.

He could only clarify with certainty that he had only met the two girls two or three times before, and he hadn’t known that they liked to fight. He had only found them because they happened to be at the same school.

After putting down the phone, Damon also felt that he was being a little paranoid.

After asking Mindy again, she confirmed that Nikki and Monica had been studying at Dalton Junior High for three years and had been cheerleaders for two years.

Damon had only decided which school to send Mindy to two months ago. It was impossible for anyone to arrange for them to approach Mindy beforehand.

Damon was relieved.

After getting rid of Damon, Luke arrived at Flus.h.i.+ng.

He parked the car in the police department’s parking lot before driving out in the SUV.

Stark Expo’s official opening ceremony would be held at seven tonight, and would include a large-scale performance.

It was five in the afternoon, which was the peak entry time. People and cars turned the place into a sea of noise.

New York was still cold in February, and the temperature hovered around 0 degrees, but the atmosphere near the venue was like a furnace.

The closer to the venue, the hotter the atmosphere got.

The majority of the people all around were no longer adults like during the day, but young people who laughed and joked as they gathered at the venue.

They were all here for the performance tonight.

What was the most notable trait of Stark Industries? Most people’s first reaction was — money.

This trait had been endorsed by a certain tyc.o.o.n for more than ten years, and was already ingrained in everyone’s hearts. n.o.body doubted it.

A Las Vegas show wouldn’t be able to compare with the show tonight.

When it came down to it, Las Vegas shows were about making money, while this big show that Stark Industries was putting on… was purely a certain tyc.o.o.n’s interest.

Top-notch singers, top-notch dancers, top-notch magicians, and all kinds of top-notch acrobats.

The tyc.o.o.n would never hire anything under a first-cla.s.s performer. He couldn’t afford to lose face.

This was a super carnival set up by Stark Industries.

Coincidentally, it was also the first day of the Chinese New Year.

There had been an increasing number of Chinese in Flus.h.i.+ng in recent years, and it was basically equivalent to building another Chinatown here. The lively Chinese New Year celebration was underway at the same time.

Although it wasn’t in the same area, many people who came to celebrate the Chinese New Year could sense the lively atmosphere.

Then, when they entered the venue and saw an even livelier scene, their spirits naturally soared.

Many girls who were wearing thick jackets had already tied them around their waists to reveal fair and tanned skin alike, which matched the fiery evening.

The atmosphere in the car wasn’t as lively.

After Luke took over the drive, Selina put down the seat and lay down as she said, “These youngsters are even more excited than during the new year.”

Luke drove slowly as he patrolled the area. He turned his head and asked, “Are you tired?”

Selina said listlessly, “I’m not tired. It’s just that patrolling alone is too boring. Gold Nugget can hide in the back and watch TV shows. I only listen to songs at most.”

Luke was amused. “It’s been hard on you. We’ll be done with this a.s.signment in three days. You can take leave then.”

Selina asked, “Am I the kind to slack off?”

Luke smiled. “Mm, you’re not. I misunderstood you just now. What do you want?”

Selina stretched out one hand behind her.

Gold Nugget, who had been watching TV, immediately got up, picked up the food box next to it, and gave it to her.

Opening the food box, she put on gloves and took out a slice of Napoleon cake. “Tell me, what happened when you went out with Mindy today?”
