Actually, Luke had sensed Gordon’s scent on the fake since the beginning.

These few minutes of follow-up were just to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the warehouse, in case the arrogant tycoon exploded with anger.

As the tycoon stared at the warehouse personnel with a dark face, Luke was already thinking about how to capture Gordon.

Gordon had such a dangerous ability and he followed an ambitious woman like Jiaying. Naturally, Luke had more than one backup plan.

The nanomites were just the ‘physical’ backup plan.

The young man in Afterlife who used electricity, Lincoln, was very good at restraining the nanomites.

The second backup plan was Luke’s conventional method — mental suggestion.

The middle-aged woman in Afterlife who could use Mental Interference was more inclined to attack, so a mental suggestion had a limited effect on her.

As long as Gordon stayed within bounds and didn’t want to make big news, Luke wouldn’t activate this second backup plan.

As a final safety measure, mental suggestion was far more covert than the nanomites.

To prevent Gordon from sensing anything wrong, this mental suggestion was only activated once a month.

It wasn’t forceful, and would only compel Gordon to go to one of several fixed locations at the beginning of each month.

These fixed locations had a special meaning for Gordon himself.

Luke had simply boosted Gordon’s subconscious memories of these places, which was why he was obsessed with them.

Tampering with a person’s consciousness was always better than facing difficulties head-on.

…

Gordon walked through a residential area. At night, there were only a few small lights on the porches. The entire area was extremely quiet.

He stopped in front of a bungalow.

Although he could no longer see, he could still sense the appearance of the bungalow in front of him with his awakened ability, and he could vaguely remember what it looked like more than ten years ago.

This used to be his home, but strangers now lived here.

Gordon didn’t know what was wrong with him.

Perhaps it was because he was old, but he would suddenly remember a lot of things in the last two years, and he couldn’t get over how his mother had protected him when he was young.

But that was all in the past.

A few years after he was taken to Afterlife, his mother finally left, remarried, and had a daughter.

Like his mother, his little sister was an ordinary person.

He had inherited his father’s Inhuman blood; it was impossible for them to be together anymore.

If anyone knew about his relationship with them and that he still cared about them, they would become a bargaining chip for others to threaten him.

He could only come here every now and then to recall his hazy memories.

Suddenly, he turned around and ‘looked’ not far away.

A figure canceled stealth mode to reveal black-and-white armor.

On the black-and-white skull mask, two black eye sockets curved up, as if the person was smiling.

Alarmed, Gordon activated his teleportation ability without thinking.

He was infinitely loyal to his new leader, Werner, but that didn’t affect his judgment of the difference between his and Big Dipper’s combat abilities.

As long as Big Dipper caught him, he would lose any chance to escape.

Gordon leaned forward, as if he were about to take off in a sprint.

He couldn’t really teleport in an ‘instant.’

There was at least 0.2 seconds between activation and departure.

Assuming this pose would help him activate his teleportation ability.

But as soon as he did so, his heart jumped. Crap, why had he suddenly become an idiot?

The best response now was to teleport as quickly as possible to put a safe enough distance between him and Big Dipper, not to do a long-distance teleport.

What surprised him even more was that Big Dipper simply crossed his arms and tilted his head at him.

Gordon had no time to think about the meaning of this action. Teleport, acti… vate?

Seeing that Big Dipper was still looking at him, Gordon was stunned, before he understood. “You’ve already set up a trap here?”

Luke stepped forward unhurriedly. “Of course.”

Gordon didn’t give up.

His infinite loyalty to Werner made him turn around and run.

What if… he ran out of range?

A newly installed space obstruction device usually had an effect range of 50 to 100 meters.

Given his long-term combat training, he could run out of range in a few seconds.

Luke rolled his eyes and fired.

A black cylinder flew at Gordon and suddenly opened, turning into a black net.

Like a fish caught in a net, Gordon fell straight down and hit the ground with a bang.

But the guy still refused to give up. He kept tearing at the net with his hands and feet.

Luke sighed. “You forced me to do this. Don’t complain to Jiaying when you wake up.” As he spoke, he activated the taser function of the multifunction net.

Zi! Zi! Zi!

Gordon twitched a few more times before flopping on the ground like a dead fish, but he hadn’t passed out yet.

Luke said, “Huh? You’re very strong. Sorry, I’ll have to increase the power then.”

Gordon convulsed again, and white smoke rose from his head, as if he was ascending to immortality.

Before he lost consciousness, there was only one thought in his mind: Deathstroke, are you messing with me? F*ck you!

…

Half an hour later, a depressed Gordon appeared in an ancient ruin on a Hawaiian island.

Then, Big Dipper grabbed one of his hands tightly.

“Werner is in the center of the palace below. Can you let go now?” said Gordon helplessly.

Luke said, “Okay, Gordon.”

Bang!

Gordon collapsed again.

“It’s fine now, Gordon.” Luke drew back his right hand. “There’s no way Werner can control you anymore.”

Throwing Gordon into Space 2, Luke activated the stealth system and entered the underground ruins according to Gordon’s instructions.

The dark environment didn’t affect his movements. He constantly sent out very faint vibrations, which sent him feedback on the terrain within 100 meters.

Coupled with the information from Gordon, it only took him two minutes to reach a room in the center of the ruins.

In the center of the room was a lone stone altar with a bright silver metal in the middle of it.

Luke walked over and confirmed at a glance that this was the alien metal block that Gordon had stolen.

The outer shell of the box had unfolded on all four sides, but there was nothing inside.

Clearly, it was a ‘box.’

The ‘box’ most likely contained the ‘awakening substance’ which Jiaying had mentioned, and it was now in Werner’s hands.

Taking a deep breath, Luke silently analyzed the scents left behind here, and quickly drifted into another passage.

Ten minutes later, he stopped searching in mid-air.

Warner had retreated ten minutes before Luke arrived, and his scent completely disappeared next to the sea. Who knew what superpower he had used to escape.

He slipped away so quickly? This is troublesome, Luke muttered to himself as he looked at the dark ocean.
