One Thousand and Twenty Chapters, Look at It, What Is This Thing?
Luke coughed: "No, just lamenting the impermanence of the world."
Robert looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then gave up.
He doubted it, but had no proof.
After wandering around New York City until five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the cottage and began to pack and prepare to go home tomorrow.
Robert hesitated for a while, but still dragged Luke outside the house.
The two were walking on the cold street, and he finally asked, "Do you... have any news about my old friend?"
Luke hesitated and shook his head slightly: "Only his real identity was found to be Frank Custer, but his family no longer lives in New York."
Robert was stunned and silent for a long time: "Forget it, if he can return to a normal life, he will be better than anything else."
Luke: "Is he important to you?"
Robert sighed. "He saved my life—three times."
He didn't say anything more than that.
Of course Luke understood the meaning of this.
Robert is a very affectionate guy. Although he is usually rude, he still remembers what he owes others, and will repay it in excess if he has a chance.
It can be said that he is a man with a lot of loyalty.
Fortunately, he was a soldier when he was young. If he really joined a gang, he was afraid that he would be killed.
Frank Custer saved him three times, and it was an unquestionably life-threatening friendship, or a friendship that couldn't be more iron-clad.
Luke can only be thankful that he didn't speculate that Frank might be in trouble, otherwise Robert would definitely be restless.
This is the only thing I can do for him.
Without Robert, Luke couldn't have grown up to the age of eighteen so comfortably and healthily.
The American stepfather has a much worse character, and meeting someone like Robert who is no worse than his own father is really a blessing in eight lifetimes.
Although he likes to bicker with Robert, Robert is his relative.
Robert and Catherine's place in his heart,
Far more than the parents who passed away early in this life.
The nurturing grace and escort they have given him for more than ten years can penetrate more deeply into his heart than the pure blood relationship.
After briefly discussing this topic, the two returned to the small villa.
Catherine looked at the faces of the two and didn't ask anything, but just called them to help with packing.
On the morning of December 28, Luke sent everyone to the airport early and entered the VIP lounge as usual.
Although he rarely flies, he has VIP cards from major airlines.
After sitting for a while, he got up and said to go shopping, and then looked at the scenery near the airport runway.
In fact, he was using his keen sense of smell, and the elementary sound waves that he had gradually become proficient in to do security checks.
It wasn't that he was nervous, but that on Christmas Eve, a plane was said to have crashed at an airport over there because of an empty cloth attack.
The airport on this side of New York has also raised the level of vigilance and security, but Luke believes in himself more.
Suddenly, Selena sent a short video with a message: "Look at it, what is this thing."
Luke thought it was because she was bored again, and sent him the chocolate cake that his brother and sister failed to make.
At first glance, the failed cake looked like a lump, and it was still a thin one. The success made him disgusted.
However, he still opened the short video.
As you can see on the video, it's a typical Texas wilderness, and then there's a big crater.
There seems to be something stuck in the center of Dakeng, and many people are watching strongly, laughing and laughing.
Selena was standing on the edge of the big pit to shoot down, and her voice also sounded: "Is that a hammer?"
Luke was stunned for a while, always feeling that this scene was a little bit familiar.
Then, Selena sent a series of pictures and texts.
Looking at it, she should be walking down the big pit, taking pictures and sending them to him while walking.
The message was: "A lot of people came."
"The farms and ranches around Shackford are getting people running."
"They're pulling that... it's supposed to be a hammer."
"They said no one could hold that hammer."
"...The hammer seemed to be welded to the ground."
Looking at the pictures and messages, Luke scolded "Wang Defa" very rarely, causing many people around him to look at him.
Because his voice is really not small.
But he didn't care about them at the moment, so he sent a message to Selena directly, asking her to start with the hammer and send a whole set of pictures from near to far.
Selena was already near the hammer, and she didn't think much about it at the moment, she just did as he said.
Luke looked at it for less than a minute, turned back to the previous picture, looked at the big pit, and exhaled a long breath: "What's the matter, just kidding! Isn't this the Meow Hammer?"
Saying so, he immediately went to book a ticket to travel with Robert and the others.
Air tickets are very tight around Christmas.
But fortunately, Luke was not short of money, and he had a very advanced VIP card. He directly took the best seat in the business class, and called Dustin again, explaining that he was going back to his hometown to play with his family for a few days.
Dustin himself is on vacation, just let him keep the communication open and let him go.
If there is an emergency, it will only take him half a day to call Luke back.
Walking back to the lounge, looking at the family chatting and resting over there, Luke smiled and said, "I thought about it, I'd better go back to my hometown to play with you for a few days. Are you happy? Are you surprised?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all laughed, and Claire and Joseph made a noise around him.
After a while, Luke sent Selena a text message, asking her to take all her family to Houston.
No matter what excuse she makes, even if it counts as a New Year's trip for the Hayek family, be sure to let everyone out for a few days.

Selena didn't ask anything at all, she just responded and made arrangements.
Luke was thinking in his heart how to get the family out of Shackford.
The surrounding area with that hammer was never safe.
Fortunately, with Robert here, this one definitely understands how dangerous some mysterious events can be.
And Catherine usually doesn't say much, but she always knows.
So, there's only one real problem... Grandpa Drex.
Coincidentally, the pictures and text Selena sent back indicated that the hammer was in the mountains next to the Colson-Hayek Combined Ranch, not far from the ranch.
How can I get this grumpy old man away from his precious ranch?
His eyes quickly settled on Claire and Joseph beside him: It seems that he can only use the big moves of these two - slaughtering, madly acting like a spoiled child.
After making up his mind, Luke called Robert and Catherine aside and whispered the situation and danger to them.
After the last cruise octopus incident, they had a very high degree of trust in Luke, and they easily accepted the recurrence of the "mysterious incident" and discussed it together.
