Chapter 170 Oh, My English Is Bad

After saying goodbye to the two beautiful girls, Elsa and Luke waited for a cab outside Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Elsa teased him.

“It seems youve found someone on this Paris trip.

That bubbly girl suits you very well.”

Luke smiled.

“Dream on.

We had a nice chat on the plane, but thats it.”

Elsa was amused.

“Whatever you say.

Lets report to the police department first.

The rest of the time is all yours.”

At that moment, a cab arrived, and a man in glasses staggered out and threw up in a dustbin.

Elsa and Luke didnt think anything of it.

Carsickness wasnt unusual.

But they took a whiff of the cab when they got in.

There was the vague smell of vomit, but they couldnt find any traces of it.

The driver was a man with short hair.

He turned his head and asked earnestly, “Are you in a hurry”

Looking at the man, who had a scar over his left eye, and recalling the carsick passenger who had just gotten out, Elsa and Luke both felt a strange sense of deja vu.

Both of them said, “No, please drive at a normal speed.”

The driver shrugged regretfully.

“Oh, what a shame.”

The corner of Lukes eye twitched.

“A cab driver I met in New York once asked me a similar question.”

The driver had already started the car.

He grinned and asked, “Hm Then what”

Luke said, “Then, I could barely stand when I got out of the cab after I arrived.”

Elsa remarked, “You were better than me.

I threw up.”

Stunned for a moment, the driver burst into laughter.

“Haha.

That must have been fun.”

Looking at the cab drivers back, Luke suddenly asked, “Your license plates can be switched out, cant they”

The driver laughed.

“What are you talking about My English is bad.

I cant understand you.”

Luke rolled his eyes.

“I dont care if you can understand me, but Im telling you this: no speeding, because we wont pay any extra money.

Even if it can fly like a plane, just keep your cab at eighty miles an hour.”

After a brief silence, the driver argued meekly, “But the speed limit on this road is a hundred miles…”

Luke was lost for words.

“If so, just drive at the lowest speed allowed.”

The driver cackled, and felt like he had somehow been seen through.

After being a police officer for a long time, Luke could easily tell how unique some people were.

For example, this cab driver had a similar vibe to Bell.

After giving the driver advanced warning, Luke looked into the rearview mirror and saw Kim and Amanda.

They were talking merrily and taking a photo at the cab stop.

Then, a decent-looking young guy volunteered to take a photo for them with a smile.

They then started chatting with each other.

When Lukes cab left, Amanda, Kim and the guy were still talking.

Luke wasnt bothered, since Amanda was clearly happy to talk to anyone.

Well, anyone who wasnt ugly.

The more handsome the guy she chatted with, the happier she was.

When the cab entered the downtown area, Elsa suddenly asked, “Should we stay at the same hotel”

Luke thought for a moment and said, “We should split up since were here for fun.

I dont want to be a third wheel.”

Elsa said with relief, “Put me down in front.

Ill walk.

Ill send you a text message after I check in.”

It would be awkward for her to go out and have fun if Luke was with her.

If Luke wasnt with her, she would just be a regular person.

Nobody would know that she was a police officer.

The driver silently stopped the car hundreds of meters in the front.

Luke said, “Give me your card.”

The driver said, “Huh I cant understand

you.”

Luke said, “Do you want me to call the police officer over there”

Noticing the disdain on the mans face, Luke realized after a moments thought that the man wasnt scared of the police.

He tossed what looked like a yo-yo into the drivers seat.

It flew around the drivers hands and tied them together.

Luke said with a smile, “Tell me, can you get away if I ask the police officer to check your drivers license”

The driver struggled for a moment, then said, “Fine, I give in.

Ill give you my card.”

Luke chuckled.

“Okay, Daniel.

Im sure a good driver like you must be famous in Paris.”

System: You have defeated Daniel and received a list of his abilities.

Daniels abilities: Elementary Driving…

The mans face changed.

“You know me”

Luke chuckled and retrieved the yo-yo.

He then patted Daniels shoulder and said, “This is my tip for you.”

Daniel smiled when he heard the pleasant sound of money.

He accepted the hundred dollars.

It was too little as cab fare, but rather generous as a tip.

A moment later, Elsa left with a card and said goodbye to Luke.

Looking at Elsa, who was already wandering the streets of Paris, Luke said, “Daniel, give me your card, too.”

After a brief hesitation, Daniel gave him another card.

“Ill charge more if you call for my cab.”

Luke asked, “How much do you charge”

Daniel rolled his eyes and said, “Five hundred euros each time, separate from the cab fare.”

Luke nodded his head and said, “Okay, that sounds fair.”

Daniel was lost for words.

“Huh” He had intentionally proposed an outrageous price, but the passenger thought that it was fair Had he run into an idiot

But recalling how Luke had tied his hands up just now, he immediately dismissed that notion.

Ten minutes later, Luke was wandering around the streets of Paris in a relaxed manner, observing the city as if it were a cornfield.

Paris was famous for its beauty, but not many people knew that it was also a city with a high crime rate.

This was an unavoidable problem in any metropolis.

Petty theft and larceny happened everywhere, and they couldnt escape Lukes Sharp Nose.

If a man was carrying a couple of wallets that had different smells, it was highly unlikely that his friends had given him their wallets to buy dinner for them, right

Walking along casually, Luke kicked a random pebble at a thief who had just discreetly fished out a purse.

The thief cried out in pain, and the purse in his hand slipped back into the pocket of the completely clueless girl whom he had just pickpocketed.
