<h4>Chapter 648 No Discord, No Concord</h4>


    Tony Stark had the support of Stark Industries’ research, and had far more convenient ess to the necessary technology and raw materials.


    Padium, for example, was something that Tony could easily get his hands on.


    He could use a sma thruster any time he wanted as well.


    Luke didn’t have that luxury.


    Whether it was the radioactive nuclear material or the sma thruster propulsion, they belonged to the military and were ssified.


    As a huge military firearms business, Stark Industries specialized in these very products.


    But the moment Luke used these things, he would be hunted down by the various intelligence agencies.


    Rocket propulsion + nuclear material = ? Anybody withmon sense knew the answer.


    Unlike Tony Stark, who was only making a suit out of interest, Luke had always done things with a clear purpose in mind.


    He wouldn’t blindly pursue mor and progress, and would only choose the most suitable route for himself.


    Thus, to avoid Tony Stark detecting him, or other people sensing the simrities in their technology, Luke deliberately stripped the test suit of most of its abilities.


    Luke had also long taken Batman’s high-profile debut into ount.


    Given that he would be going to New York, it was an inevitable choice.


    However, if L.A.’s Ghost Butcher were to appear in New York at the same time that Luke was transferred, anyone who paid attention to Luke would be able to discover this astonishing coincidence just by analyzing the data.


    It was like the old saying: Too many coincidences basically were no longer a coincidence.


    Few people in intelligence were fools. Luke didn’t expect them to be idiots.


    Luke had thus shown up in his guise as Batman in such a high profile mannerst night. He was going to use this new identity to strike at criminals in theing months andpletely put an end to the Ghost Butcher’s operations.


    At the same time, setting up Batman as someone who saved people and didn’t kill made him the pr opposite of the coldblooded Ghost Butcher who killed all his opponents.


    In any case, crippling criminals was as good as killing them, and could be even more frightening


    Broken bones were enough to prevent an ordinary person from working to the best of their abilities in everyday life.


    They would have a hard time moving about with multiple fractures; it would already be a huge feat if they could take care of themself.


    If Luke really ran into the sort of superviins that couldn’t be beaten down, and were up and running after just a dozen days, Luke would deal with them separately.


    After all, Luke was more than who Batman was!


    At two in the afternoon, the house turned lively once more.


    Selina had already gone to the training room to exercise. ire got up a littleter and went to the training room as well.


    The noise she made woke up ke, who was in the living room. Since she had nothing to do, she went to the training room to watch them.


    ke was shocked by what she was seeing.


    She and ire met at a high school cheerleading contest in a pretty dramatic way.


    The two of them were “enemies” at first. Their cheerleading teams were rivals, and ire’s team lost.


    Then, someone in ke’s team mocked them, which almost led to a big quarrel between the two teams.


    As the cheerleading captain for the team from Knox High School, ire stepped forward and proposed that they solved the conflict — with a duel.


    If the other side was afraid to fight, she also said that they couldpete in other ways, like skateboarding, rock-climbing or parkour.


    Eventually, ire defeated several girls on ke’s side on her own.


    From skateboarding to a fight in the end, she crushed her opponents.


    After all, ire was Luke’s biggest fan and had learned the simplest form of practical Brazilian jiu-jitsu from him. In less than five seconds, she had her opponent in an armlock.


    In the end, the winning team left, dejected and depressed, while ire’s team was in high spirits even though they lost thepetition.


    On the second day, ke went to find ire on her own and had a fight with her.


    It wasn’t a fierce fight, but it had taken ire some effort to suppress ke.


    After the fight, ire finally asked ke why she hade to her for a private duel.


    ke bluntly said that her father had taught her to use her abilities to help those in need, not to use them in a fight.


    It was her teammates who had provoked the other team first. She didn’t agree with them, but she couldn’t stop them. After all, she was one person, and she wasn’t the captain.


    She only went to ire for a duel because she didn’t want ire to look down on her school.


    They hadn’t seen each other again after that, but they kept in touch via the phone. After the fight, they found that they had a lot inmon.


    That was why ke had always thought that ire was strong.


    But today, she watched as Selina easily tackled ire and pressed her to the floor like a kitten, unable to move at all. The girl didn’t nearly seem as tough as when she had fought ke.


    ire, however, was used to it. Seline had taught her too many lessons for her to find it humiliating anymore.


    While chatting with Selina, ire learned that she had fought many fierce criminals in thest few months.


    It was only natural that she couldn’t beat such a professional.


    After ke came in, ire directly invited her to train with them.


    “You should exercise more if you’re in a bad mood. Sweating it out will feel good,” said ire.


    In just half an hour, ke sat on the side, sweating all over.


    Looking at Selina and ire who were fighting again, she could only admit that she was far weaker than ire in terms of both strength andbat tricks.


    After ire’s training was over, ke epted the bottle of water Selina gave her and asked curiously, “Selina, is Luke as good as you?”


    Selina, who was wiping her sweat,ughed and turned her head. “You must be joking!”


    ke was stumped. “Huh?”


    Selina wiped her mouth with a towel. “He taught me all mybat tricks. How can I possibly beat him?” Nobody in the whole world can beat him! she secretly added.


    ke gaped. “He taught you that?”


    Selina shrugged. “He was the one who taught ire her Brazilian jiu-jitsu tricks back in high school.” ke looked at ire, who nodded affirmatively. “Back before we first met, Luke taught me some basic Brazilian jiu-jitsu for one or two hours each month. Haha, at that time, I didn’t really want to learn because I didn’t like fighting.”


    ke: ...Why do I feel like such a weakling?


    Looking at her face, Selina smiled. “He’s a police detective. Fighting is his job. You’re just a regr student. Some self-defense skills will be enough for you. Let’s go have lunch.”


    After they all came out and showered, Selina sat down at the dining table. “Wait a bit. Lunch is almost ready.”


    Looking at the empty dining table, ke felt a little doubtful.


    Selina had already noticed her expression. She coughed and said, “Luke loves cooking. Of course, it’s just the cooking; ire and I wash the dishes.”
