Chapter 1366: A Free Meal and a Test

“Very strong?” Selina asked.


Luke shook his head. “I don’t think so. It’s just that… her body is a little special.”


Looking at his expression, Selina didn’t ask any more questions.


This was a diner with people coming and going. It was hard to talk about the details; she could wait until they got home.


However, all Luke had discovered was that Elementary Pheromone Control only had a minimal effect on the girl, who didn’t let down her guard.


It wasn’t necessarily a superpower that could do that, and he didn’t know how to explain it to Selina.


Ten minutes later, a 16- or 17-year-old teenage girl walked into the diner.


She was wearing a T-shirt, jeans and a thin jacket, and wasn’t too tall.


Her gentle and slightly angular features suggested that she was of Asian descent. Her black hair was disheveled, but not to the point of being sloppy.


However, a few customers who passed by her wrinkled their noses. It seemed she had the smell of the sewers on her.


The girl looked in Luke and Selina’s direction.


Luke and Selina were sitting facing the door. She saw the faint smile on his face, and her nervousness quickly disappeared.


The girl hesitated at the door for a moment before she finally walked over.


She stood in the aisle in front of Luke and Selina. Before she could say anything, Luke raised his hand and said, “Please sit down. Waitress.”


A waitress came over with a smile. “Do you want more coffee?”


Luke said, “Thank you. My friend would also like to order.”


The waitress filled his cup with coffee first before she looked at the girl strangely. “Kid, you can sit down first.”


The girl gave an “ah” and sat opposite Luke and Selina in a fluster.


“What would you like?” the waitress asked in the tone of one who repeated the line hundreds of times a day.


The girl was lost for words.


Luke was amused. “Another of today’s special and a can of Shamrock milk. If that’s not enough, I’ll have to trouble you again later.”


The waitress gave him another smile. “Okay. Call me if you need anything.”


Selina turned her head to look out the window. She wanted to laugh. Do you want to kill the old lady?


What she didn’t know was that Luke had been visiting Max at Williamsburg Diner recently, and his attitude toward waitresses had improved a lot.


It was fun listening to Max complain about weird customers, but he didn’t want to become the annoying customer whom the waitresses talked about.


Luke stretched out his hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Luke, a newbie who just joined NYPD.”


The girl was at a loss, but a moment later, she shook his hand. “I’m Skye.”


Luke gestured at Selina, who was still giggling. “My partner, Selina.”


Selina wasn’t as formal. She gave a casual “hi” and waved.


Skye wasn’t angry.


Selina was dressed very professionally. Coupled with her hot face and sharp eyes, she gave off the vibe of a mature female officer, which made Skye feel that this was exactly what a police officer should be like.


Luke said, “Let’s eat first. We’ve been busy all morning. We can’t take it if we don’t eat something.”


Skye nodded and didn’t say anything.


A moment later, two waitresses served them a huge amount of food.


Luke thanked them politely.


Selina, who had good eyesight, noticed the two middle-aged waitresses whispering behind the counter after they delivered the food.


They weren’t loud, but she could see their mouths.


Using her lip-reading skills, which were getting better and better by the day, Selina could guess that their general topic of conversation was handsome, cute boyfriends or something similar.


Her lips twitched as she glanced at Luke. She suddenly felt that this guy was no longer pure.


Soon, all three of them were enjoying the delicious food.


It had been many days since Skye had a proper meal, and there was a dazzling array of food.


Sitting opposite her, Luke seemed to be able to guess what she liked. He stretched out his hand to move the dishes around, and four or five of her favorite dishes were placed in front of her.


It was mostly cheesy fries, strawberry ice cream, mushroom burgers, and chicken wings.


Ten minutes later, Skye stared blankly at the man and woman opposite her, and then at the thing in front of her.


Luke stretched out his hands and took the box of chicken wings away as he said, “You’re eating a bit too fast. Take a break. You should be able to eat more in a while.”


Skye was lost for words. Who was the one eating too fast?


There were at least five to six portions of food on the table, the kind for big and fat families.


It would take at least ten people to finish them.


However, these two police officers with outstanding looks and fit physiques had polished off 70% of the food in ten minutes. Luke had even started to take away the box of chicken wings and fries that was in front of her.


What shocked her even more was that five minutes later, Luke and Selina sat back with relaxed attitudes, one holding a hot chocolate cup and the other holding a cup of coffee.


After the table was cleared by the diligent waitress, there was no evidence to indicate that they had just had a big meal.


Luke, in particular, had eaten at least five times what she had.


The three of them spending these ten minutes eating had been deliberate on Luke’s part.


Without this period of time, how would he be able to determine the effect of Elementary Pheromone Control on Skye?


He didn’t want to control Skye, but he needed to know exactly why it didn’t work.


After all, the women who could resist Pheromone Control, of whom Black Sky Elektra was the most resistant, were at least several times more powerful than Skye.


Skye was as resistant as Angel Dust.


But Angel was a modified superhuman with a strong physique and who was an ex-UFC wrestler; she had very strong willpower.


Skye was as thin as a chicken; Angel would be able to break her in half with one punch.


She didn’t rely on her physique for her resistance. It was worth investigating.


He then started talking to Skye.


During that ten minutes or so, Skye had unknowingly been hit continuously with Hypnosis, Mental Communication and Pheromone Control, and her trust in him finally broke past a final hurdle.


She answered their questions without any hesitation.


Luke didn’t forget to have the waitress bring them ice cream.


He had noticed earlier that after the mushroom burger which Skye had eaten at the very beginning, the next thing Skye had chosen was ice cream.


A full stomach and delicious food could also make a person unconsciously feel cheerful and let down their guard.


An hour passed in the blink of an eye.


In the end, Luke got up and took the takeaway food from the waitress, before they left the diner.


In the parking lot, he gave the takeaway to Skye, along with 400 dollars.


Skye subconsciously accepted them, and was stunned. “This…”


Luke rubbed her head with a smile. “We agreed before that I would buy you a meal and you could eat until you’re full. If you gave me any useful information, I would pay you the remaining half.”


Skye mumbled, “I thought you already paid me in full.”
