You're Out Daddy

Chapter 726 No Cure

When Natasha ended her sentence, the others turned to her, including Luke.

He asked, “How do you know that, Natasha?”

Facing him, she answered, “It's just standard analysis, isn't it?”

That rendered him speechless. Are you sure it's not because you and the others are smart?

Kenneth spoke up. “There are no other plausible explanations for how you lot emerged from another place.”

It was then Dave nodded. “That was how it went. Still, it's thanks to Luke that we escaped. Otherwise, you might need to dig us out of the ruins.”

In response, Kenneth turned to Luke.

“It was unintentional on my part. I didn't expect to save everyone when I was saving myself. I bet I'll get lucky strike lottery after I return!” Luke chuckled.

Casually, Kenneth inquired, “Lottery? How much prize money are you expecting to get?”

“Not much. I'm happy with three or five million. With that money, I can buy a sports car to pick up girls!”

“That's all you want?”

“Don't make it sound like it's easy, Boss. I'm not as handsome as all of you, so I have to make up for my inadequate looks with something else.”

When Mike heard that, he couldn’t help but tease, “I am sure you have good self-awareness.”

In response, Luke shot a glance at him. “Aren't you the same?”

“I think I look okay.” As Mike studied himself in the mirror, he smiled with satisfaction.

Luke snorted. “I can't believe you have the nerve to say that in front of Boss, Dave, and that doctor behind us. Do you have any shame at all?”

Mike wanted to offer a retort, but when he saw the handsome faces behind him in the mirror, the words he wanted to utter were stuck in his throat.

Then he smiled politely, thinking he had overstepped his boundary.

Upon guessing Mike's thoughts, Luke couldn't help but laugh. “What's the matter? Are you okay?”

Mike rolled his eyes at him. “Why are you asking for it? Instead of the bunch behind us, we should compare ourselves to ordinary folks, considering normal people will never look as attractive as them.”

“Are you saying Kenneth and Boss aren't normal?”

“Of course!” The instant Mike detected the grim atmosphere behind him, he quickly added, “Only those descended from the heavens have stunning looks. That's why they aren't normal, because regular mortals like us don't have alluring appearances like them.”

“Bootlicker!”

“I'm simply stating the truth.”

Luke gave him the side-eye.

The bunch sitting behind wasn't that affected by the duo's conversation. However, the lively atmosphere did help to remind them of the fact that they escaped death and were still alive.

Staring at the front seats, Kenneth uttered, “Luke.”

Promptly, Luke turned to him. “What's the matter, Boss?”

“Do you have a car you like?”

“Err...” Slightly confused, Luke nodded. “I do.”

“What car?”

“Bugatti.”

“All right. We'll go and pick up one tomorrow.”

Luke was flabbergasted.

Thinking his ears were playing tricks on him, Mike glanced at Kenneth through the rearview mirror with widened eyes.

“W-What do you mean by that, Boss?” Luke blinked at Kenneth with disbelief. Did I hear that right?

Despite his pale lips, Kenneth was still undeniably charming as he gazed at him. “That's a reward for you.”

“A reward for me? For what?” Luke was seriously wondering if his ears were working correctly.

“You deserve a reward for bringing everyone out alive.”

The edges of Luke's lips curved upward when he heard that, but he still responded humbly, “It was something I did unintentionally. Besides, I was only focusing on saving myself. Everyone else just so happened to—”

“Only the result matters, not the process.”

Hearing that, Luke just turned to look at Dave quietly.

Dave replied, “You should accept his reward for you. If you don't, I'm afraid he'll feel uneasy.”

“But... I don't think I deserve this.”

“You don't have to think that way. Your boss is rich, so if he feels at ease by gifting you a car, it's his gain too,” persuaded Dave. I bet if any of us suffered severe injuries because of the incident, I can imagine how Kenneth would bear the pain for the rest of his life. That's why I'm sure he's willing to give out eight or ten cars if necessary. At this point, money's not the most important thing to him anymore.

A realization dawned on Luke before he turned to Kenneth. “In that case, thank you, Boss!”

“Oh, so you're only willing to accept my gift after Dave asked you to, hmm?” teased Kenneth.

“I—”

“It sounds like you no longer have any respect for me.”
