Chapter 1755: The Things That Came With the Meteors

Tyrone was lost for words.
If it were him, he wouldn’t help a regular friend deal with a monster company like Roxxon after their death.
So, was Little Bear also a monster?
Mindy didn’t know what Tyrone was thinking. She said that she would give him the supplies he needed tomorrow night before she promptly left.
Tyrone was left confused. Why did it seem like she had thought of everything and was just waiting for him to join her?
Of course, he didn’t know that Mindy was just copying the rules of the PDD and the Justice League. At most, she would omit some parts that weren’t easy to implement.
After all, Ursa Minor wasn’t the Justice League. There were very few of them, and there was no need for such strict and complicated rules.
In any case, she was still a kid. Batman probably wouldn’t mind her using him as “reference” material.
…
The next day, while Luke, Selina, Joseph and Gold Nugget were having breakfast, they heard a voice on Selina’s tablet. “…The Leo meteor shower will reach Earth at nine o’clock tonight. Stargazing fans, get ready. Good spots to observe the meteor shower are the southern parts of New York, Virginia…”
Luke and Joseph continued eating their steamed buns and drinking their soybean milk, completely indifferent to this “good news.”
Selina’s eyes glowed. “Luke, let’s watch the meteor shower tonight.”
Luke said, “Okay.”
Joseph raised his head in surprise. He looked at his brother and then at Selina, and felt that something wasn’t right.
But that was all Luke and Selina said; there was no other meaning.
After breakfast, Selina went upstairs to get ready for work.
Before Joseph went downstairs with his backpack, he looked at Luke, who was still watching the news on the couch. He couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment before he said, “Well… Why did you agree immediately when Selina said that she wanted to watch the meteor shower?”
Luke was confused. “Why not?”
Joseph replied with a baffled expression, “But isn’t that a waste of time?”
Luke was enlightened. “So, you’re not going to watch the meteor shower with Mindy tonight?”
Joseph was even more confused. “Why would I watch it with her?”
Luke was surprised. “Then are you going to keep Nikki or Monica company? Wait, don’t tell me you don’t just like big sisters, but also both at the same time? Then, you should be careful not to be chopped up like firewood.”
Joseph’s face darkened. “Hey, I’m only nine. They’re both 18. Just because Selina’s six years older than you, you think I’ll fall for a woman twice my age?”
Luke snorted. “By the time you’re 90, they’ll only be one tenth older than you! Time will tell.”
Joseph’s eyes widened. “I can get a girlfriend when I’m 90?”
Luke said, “Be prepared. There’s nothing bad about being prepared.”
After that, Luke switched to serious matters. “Since you’re all partners, it’s necessary to invest in your relationship. You can work and study anytime, so why can’t you take a night off to watch the meteor shower? Do you think the Leo meteor shower happens every day?”
Joseph nodded thoughtfully and left with his backpack.
After school, Luke received a call from Joseph, who said that he would be home late.
Luke, Selina and the dog head didn’t have to go far to watch the meteor shower, and just went up to the top of a skyscraper in stealth mode.
Tony and Pepper were in Stark Tower nearby.
Hearing Jarvis’s notification that Mr. Bruce and Miss Bastet had appeared next door, the tycoon was baffled.
Luke was too lazy to bother with him. In any case, he wasn’t standing on Stark Tower.
The meteor shower wasn’t as dazzling as in the movies, but it was still in the news the next day.
The hottest news was that one of the Life Foundation’s deep-space satellite probes happened to be caught in the meteor shower. The probe was destroyed, and its remains fell in Borneo.
But this news soon disappeared from the limelight.
Satellites weren’t rare. If one was destroyed by a meteor, it wasn’t like the public had to pay compensation for it.
Apart from the unlucky Life Foundation, everyone else quickly forgot about it.
At the headquarters of the Life Foundation in San Francisco, Carlton Drake, the CEO, was speaking with a solemn expression on the phone. “One of the organisms on the probe escaped? Then find it for me. Do you know how much money we spent? One less sample means that we wasted hundreds of millions of dollars…”
What the CEO didn’t know was that not long after the probe crashed last night, a yellow liquid had scuttled into a nearby river.
Not long after, a big fish with yellow eyes swam through the river and followed the currents to an estuary dozens of kilometers away, before it was swallowed by a killer whale.
A moment later, the killer whale’s eyes turned yellow.
Apart from the meteor which blew up the probe, many of the meteorites didn’t burn up completely as they fell directly into the sea around Japan, including the bottomless Japanese Trench.
Soon, flesh-colored strip-like things with numerous thin legs on their upper torsos appeared in the ocean – they looked similar to embryonic scorpions.
They gradually approached the four Japanese islands and Korea.
…
Mindy’s Ursa Minor started taking on a regular pattern of operation.
Sometimes, she would use Damon as an excuse for Joseph to stay for dinner.
When it was time to send Joseph home, the two of them would put on the nanosuits in the safe house and use the appearances of 17- to 18-year-olds to go out and “train.”
At first, Joseph had rejected these simple and crude beatings, which had no sense of style at all.
But in Ursa Minor, he was only in charge of making money and planning.
When it came to taking action, it was definitely Mindy who took the lead.
Thankfully, for the sake of confidentiality and in consideration of this little brother, Mindy didn’t take out her 1.8-meter-long double-ended longsword.
Otherwise, she just needed to “cut melons and vegetables” one time to traumatize Joseph.
Joseph gritted his teeth and agreed to this “combat training,” but most of the time, he preferred to use the stealth system and follow Mindy around New York.
Looking at the strange things that happened in the bustling and dark parts of the city, he gradually formed an understanding of the “truest” face of the world.
Life in New York was vastly different from in Texas.
At least in Shackelford, most people had jobs to make ends meet. Their lives weren’t great, but few were completely poor.
In New York, people could do anything in order to survive.
Using yo-yos to knock out two more hoodlums who were robbing sex workers on the street, Joseph sighed. “They’re lazy and bully the weak but fear evil. These people are hopeless.”
Mindy didn’t react.
She had killed so many drug dealers with her father; even more insane things went on there.
These two hoodlums were already very conscientious, running off after robbing the ladies of 20 to 100 bucks.
