Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 1266 - Youngsters' Dream, Youngsters' “Fractures”

Chapter 1266: Youngsters’ Dream, Youngsters’ “Fractures”

In fact, Luke only said a few words before tactfully shutting up, because the plan that CEO Jenny came up with was much more reliable than his own.

While these were old tricks, they pointed to the essence of human nature.

Flaunting was an indispensable part of human society.

A product which couldn’t be flaunted wasn’t perfect for the upper crust.

Were they spendthrifts? That wasn’t quite the case.

How could they enjoy themselves without these things?

It wasn’t just enjoying luxury goods; they also enjoyed the envy and jealousy of other people who looked at these things.

Even bigshots who liked to pretend to be ordinary people liked this feeling; it was just that they flaunted other types of things.

Since products like these were mainly for show, the young people on the streets naturally didn’t have a share in them.

At most, they dreamed of getting a limited edition t.i.tanium phone.

This model only cost 998 dollars each, and the price was more “affordable.”

The truly unaffordable ones were the 4,998-dollar premium editions and the ridiculous 9,998-dollar custom-made models.

Right now, an ordinary young person who could take out a top-quality t.i.tanium phone in front of their friends and hook it up to a portable speaker was enough to make them the most popular kid on the block, and they could bask in the looks of envy.

It was just past noon, and Luke and Selina were driving home.

Seeing these laughing young people enjoying the suns.h.i.+ne, they chatted in a good mood. “Clinton now looks a little more like a regular neighborhood.”

These young people made up the biggest group of fans of the t.i.tanium phones, and were Luke’s biggest moneybags.

For him, money could actualize Tony’s technology and give Luke power.

Money was too important.

The young people who made him rich were always very pleasing to the eye.

Selina was also paying attention to the youngsters, but her attention was on something else. “Of course. In a regular neighborhood, girls can wear a little less so that you get a better view.”

Luke couldn’t help but laugh. “Then how about I find an indoor swimming pool? I can lie down and watch while drinking. Wouldn’t that be great?”

Selina choked at his blunt words, but still launched a final jab. “Who was the one watching girls play basketball earlier? A swimming pool wouldn’t give you as clear a view, right?”

Luke glanced at her in surprise. “I was just admiring her basketball skills!”

Selina sneered. “Hehe, one of the girls did seem to have two attractive ‘basketball skills’.”

Luke said, “That’s all thanks to her 200 pounds!”

Selina was rendered speechless.

She really couldn’t bring herself to say that Luke was interested in that 200-pound girl. That would go against her own conscience.

At that moment, the car arrived at Foggy’s office.

Luke saw Foggy and Matt come downstairs, their faces tense and anxious.

He greeted him. “Hey, bro, what’s going on?”

Foggy looked over and was delighted when he recognized Luke’s car. “Luke, you came at the right time. Something happened at the renovation company, and we’re going to take a look.”

Luke asked, “What’s up?”

Foggy said, “It’s Charlie and Raqael. Ben told them to go to Queens to get construction materials, but they got into a fight on the way, and now all five of them are in the hospital.”

Luke was startled. “ICU?”

Foggy and Matt’s faces twitched.

Matt, who usually didn’t talk much, couldn’t help but interject, “They got emergency treatment, and their lives aren’t in danger. However, Charlie and Raqael each have a broken arm.”

Luke was relieved, but didn’t waste any time. “Which hospital? Let’s go and take a look.”

Foggy said, “The medical center in Queens.”

Luke started up his car. “Let’s talk over the phone.”

Foggy and Matt were used to how straightforward Luke was, and they simply nodded and walked to their own car.

As they got in, Matt’s phone rang.

Foggy drove, and Matt told Luke the details of the fight.

Things weren’t complicated.

Charlie, Raqael, and Hudson, along with two friends, drove two cars to Queens to get some construction materials.

They loaded up the materials and had just pulled out of the warehouse, when a dump truck sc.r.a.ped Charlie’s car.

Charlie, who was in the pa.s.senger seat, saw the person in the pa.s.senger seat of the dump truck turn around to look at them, but the truck didn’t stop. He was instantly enraged.

The other party was clearly trying to escape.

It was customary for young people from the Clinton area to stir up trouble. Charlie and the others had been behaving themselves recently, but that didn’t mean that they didn’t have tempers.

It was clearly the other party who had made a mistake this time, but they still dared to pretend not to see them.

Then, they chased after the truck and forced it to stop.

Things went smoothly, but Charlie and the others never expected what happened next.

Two brawny white men got out of the car. After listening to them curse, they looked at the five African-American boys and attacked them.

In less than ten seconds, the five boys were screaming and retching on the ground as they watched the other party leave.

From beginning to end, the two men hadn’t said a word.

The other three were fine after retching, but Charlie and Raqael had broken arms, and could only call the company’s general manager.

Ben rushed over when he received the call. He was almost at the hospital.

But these rascals were afraid of their mothers dealing with them, so they called Foggy and wanted him to let their families know.

Naturally, Foggy and Matt couldn’t sit still.

Charlie and the others had been performing well in the last few months. They could be considered “high income earners” in the Clinton area, and had promising futures.

It would be strange if Foggy and Matt weren’t worried when they heard that Charlie and Raqael had broken bones.

After listening to Matt’s explanation, Luke had Selina call Ben.

The call was quickly picked up and they exchanged a few words. He and Selina looked at each other in amus.e.m.e.nt.

Ben was already at the hospital, and had asked about Charlie and the others.

Actually, the kids weren’t that badly injured.

Charlie and Raqael’s so-called “broken” arms were just dislocated.

However, in their panic and pain, they realized that their arms hurt every time they moved. After listening to too many bedtime stories about Batman and Black Cat, these “bone-breaking demons,” they subconsciously thought that their arms were broken.

When it turned out to be dislocated limbs, the doctors no longer rushed, and arranged for them to get check-ups first.

Ben and the boys were in the waiting lounge.

Luke and Selina were amused, and pa.s.sed the message on to Foggy and Matt so that they wouldn’t worry too much.

20 minutes later, they met the unlucky rascals at the hospital.
