Chapter 697: Breakfast and Gifts

A lot of adjustments needed to be made to the White Wolf Armor, and new ideas and modifications could be incorporated.

That was what personal equipment was like.

When you discovered it wasnt efficient enough, you had to make the improvements yourself, and nobody could help you.

A certain tycoon could actually share a lot of the basic tasks with other people.

However, the basic operations always took up a lot of time and were very difficult to speed up by relying on talent alone.

…Fine! This was where Tony Stark shone.

But Luke only had the tycoons abilities and not the gift of inspiration.

Thus, he chose to do honest work with his hands; it was fine being an ordinary person.

He was so engrossed in his work that he didnt come back to his senses until someone knocked on the door.

Putting his things away, he opened the door.

Seeing Selina with a toothbrush in her mouth, he patted his forehead and smiled.

“Sorry, I forgot to make breakfast.”

Selina waved her hand casually.

“Its fine.

I just bought a lot of seafood from San Gabriel Valley with Claire and Gold Nugget yesterday.

You can slack off.”

Luke was stunned.

“You Went to buy ingredients”

Even Gold Nugget going out to buy the ingredients was more likely than Selina doing it.

Forget Claire – kids rarely paid attention to what ingredients there were at home.

For example, in Lukes previous life, he would only look for the sausages and meat at home when he wanted to have a barbecue with his friends.

Selina was angry.

“Cant I do it”

Looking at his silent smile, she sighed.

“Fine, Gold Nugget said that its been a long time since we had seafood.

While you were gone, it wanted to try something new and weird.”

Luke walked out of the workshop and closed the door.

Picking her up, he carried her to the living room.

“Fine, fine, fine.

Ill do it for all of you.”

Selina said, “We also bought three Chilean king crabs.

Remember to cook those.”

Luke hummed and asked suspiciously, “Just three”

Selina chuckled.

“Once each for me, Claire, and Gold Nugget.”

Luke rolled his eyes.

“Got it.

I wont fight you for it.”

Selina quickly said, “Thats not what I meant.

The bosss prices are even more expensive than last time.

I was hoping that you could go negotiate with him when you get back…”

Luke said, “…Lets eat these first.

Hell have to reduce the price in another half a month or so.”

Selina asked, “Why”

Luke said, “Its July.

The king crabs in Chile will officially go on the market then.

That profiteer was taking advantage of his last chance to sell them to you at a high price.”

Selina finally realized what was going on.

“Theyre going to hit the market in July”

Luke nodded.

“Thats right.

So, be good and go brush your teeth, or the toothpaste will dry on your lips.”

Selina snorted.

“This profiteer! Next time… Ill only buy one.”

Whines of protest rang out behind her; it was Gold Nugget.

As Selina walked to the bathroom, she said in a low voice, “That profiteer cheated me out of three hundred dollars this time.

If youre not satisfied, you can use your stash to make up the difference.”

Gold Nugget immediately shut up and turned its head to indicate that it didnt want to listen.

When Luke was done with the seafood feast, Claire only woke up after Selina and Gold Nugget had already finished their first round.

Seeing Luke, the little monkey grinned and pounced on him.

“Haha, Luke, wheres my present You went to Europe.”

Luke said, “Its in my suitcase in my room.

Can you get it yourself”

The little monkey immediately refused.

“No, of course you have to give it to me personally.

Now, let me lean on you a little.”

Luke didnt stop her.

He carried her on his back into the kitchen.

“Its a huge feast.

Once you go to school, youll only be able to eat pig swill.”

The little monkey hesitated for a moment, but still acted shamelessly.

“Help me take it out first.”

Luke patted her head with a smile.

As he carried out the breakfast which he had warmed up for her earlier on the stove, he asked, “Are you going to the police academy for training today”

Claire nodded.

“The National Day holiday is over.

Why did you only come back today If it was yesterday, we couldve gone shopping for seafood together.”

Luke said with a smile, “The stuff Selina bought is pretty good.

I would have gotten the same things.”

Claire clicked her tongue.

“But it was very expensive! Especially that king crab.

One crab is even more expensive than my watch.”

Luke was lost for words.

Before they hit the market, the king crabs were sold as luxury goods.

When they entered the restaurant, one claw would be as expensive as Claires girl watch.

But when he thought about how a certain rich tycoon had exchanged a watch for two boxes of strawberries, Luke felt that he and Selina were definitely examples of thriftiness.

Selina and Gold Nugget, who had already had their first round of food, started on their second round as Claire and Luke joined them.

Everybody talked about what had happened recently.

In the end, Claire brought up another hot topic.

“Did you see the Angel of Judgement in Europe”

Luke shook his head.

“No; I went to Poland, not the Netherlands.”

Claire sighed regretfully.

“What a pity.

Hes so handsome.”

Luke found that funny.

“How do you know that hes handsome What if hes not”

Claire exclaimed, “Im talking about his behavior and his outfit! Just you wait, a bunch of cosplayers in white armor will appear in college in the next few days.”

Luke smiled and hit her on the head.

“Isnt your super idol Batman How can you abandon him just like that Youre already bored with the old!”

Claire was angry.

“Who said that Batman is my real idol.”

She then abruptly changed the topic.

“The Angel of Judgment is good too! But white doesnt seem cool.

I prefer black.”

Luke raised an eyebrow.

“Then I picked the right gift for you.

Most of it is in dark colors.”

Claire snapped out of her admiration for her idol.

“What gift”

“Go check it out with Selina after youre done.

The dark ones are yours, and the rest are Selinas,” said Luke with a smile.

The little monkey was very sensible, but she was also a teenager.

After this period of time, Luke realized that her taste ran toward dark colors like black.

This was understandable.

When they were young, they wanted to be more mature and cool, but when they got older, they wanted to be more lively.

After stuffing the prawn dumplings and crystal dumplings into her mouth, the little monkey dragged Selina out and called for Luke to give them their gifts.

She liked to accept gifts from others with her own hands; she said it was more satisfying.

Selina, on the other hand, rummaged through Lukes suitcase.

Doing this couldnt exactly be said to be mature behavior.

Luke felt that she was only doing this because she was treating it like a treasure hunt, just like a typical kid.

When they got their gifts, they asked in unison, “You bought me this”

Luke shrugged.

“Its Poland, it isnt far from Bohemia.”

Claire was suspicious.

“But I dont think the Bohemian style is really from Bohemia”
