Chapter 1461 - The Last Ticket, and the Team In Hiding

On the second mothership, the highest amount of points Luke had received for a dead Chitauri was 100,000, while the highest amount on the first mothership was only 5,000; at most, this Chitauri was just one of the top ten aides.

Thankfully, the average number of Chitauri in this group wasn’t low. Each of them was worth at least 500 points, and there were as many as three hundred of them.

His loss of 100,000 credit points hadn’t been in vain, and he had also felt what it was like to disintegrate without a trace.

However, he hadn’t recalled his clone, just to see if there was a difference in the special energy that returned to him between recalling and destroying the clone.

The results seemed to show that there wasn’t.

The energy absorbed and stored by the clone still returned to him after the clone was destroyed.

It seemed that the restrictions on the energy returning from his clone weren’t as big as he had imagined.

Unfortunately, after the special energy returned this time, the fight in New York was already over. It was completely wasted.

But Luke didn’t think it was a loss.

To win this battle, he had estimated that he would lose the clone at least once.

He had lost the clone, but had been able to directly attack the first mothership, and none of the Chitauri motherships that had invaded New York had escaped unscathed.

100,000 credit points plus one instance of disintegration was worth it!

After a busy night, New York was in chaos, but it had nothing to do with most of the special force team.

After talking to everybody that night, Luke helped them finalize what they would do after this.

The next day, Wade and Vanessa left early in the morning.

Wade took with him an anonymous Swiss bank account with a balance of ten million and a bonus of more than a million. It was enough for them to go on vacation anywhere.

Wade’s request to exchange all his team credit points for money was rejected by Luke.

The reason was simple.

Services like the armor, weapons, Thousand Faces System and the identities that the team members would use in the future could only be bought out with credit points — private deals between members could be negotiated.

Wade’s expenditure in this battle would be at least twice the amount of what his credit points were worth.

Generally speaking, one credit point could be exchanged for 500 dollars, but a service that could be purchased with one credit point would be worth 1,000 to 2,000 dollars.

Secondly, certain high-end services could only be bought with credit points and not cash.

Luke was doing this so that all his teammates would understand that the special force team’s battle credits were more valuable than money.

In the future, when the situation was right, life-saving treasures like the Light Dagger and Life 1 would be released to his teammates.

Even if Wade wanted to buy them with ten million dollars, Batman wouldn’t make an exception.

However, if this money-grubbing person really wanted to use money to buy these life-saving things, it would definitely be because he was in dire straits, such as to save his wife. If Luke didn’t give them to him, he might end up making an enemy of Wade.

So, Luke simply deducted 2,000 credit points from Wade’s amount and turned them into insurance points that could only be used to save lives in an emergency and not in ordinary circumstances.

Wade cursed a certain person for being a black-hearted boss. Sooner or later, the team would call Luke out for this tyranny.

Too lazy to say anything else, Luke simply sent a message. “The credit points are for purchasing products for preserving a woman’s youth and looks. Are you sure you don’t want any credit points?”

Wade immediately fell silent.

A wife was more important than money.

If he could make his wife remain young and beautiful, wouldn’t he be the one to enjoy everything?

Damon and Mindy flew to Florida in the morning.

Damon wanted to make up for his daughter’s childhood and take her out to play more before she grew up.

The father and daughter had earned a lot of credit points this time.

They owed the bigshot who sold everything around five million, which was covered with just 4,000 credit points.

This made the father and daughter, who had been in debt for so long, feel light all over when they went out.

Angel, on the other hand, said that she wanted to be alone, and went to Alaska.

Alice and her daughter remained in seclusion and had no plans to go out.

Ivan returned to his laboratory in Nassau County after the war and started tinkering with the armor again.

The battle had inspired him too much.

Travel wasn’t important to a scientist who was inspired.

In any case, when he went to a bar to play, he had different drinks and women every day, which was similar to traveling.

The little turtles and their master were even less demanding.

As long as they had a comfortable environment and a convenient house to live in, they could stay holed up and watch TV or surf the Internet, practice their combat skills and study the safety rules.

If they wanted to move around, they could run a few laps in the sewers.

Finally, there was Frank. He didn’t leave, but stayed in the Bat Cave.

There was a small portion of materials left, which was enough for him to tinker with for a long while.

He also came up with a series of follow-up training programs focused on the weaknesses and shortcomings of the team which had been revealed in this battle, as well as plans for improving their equipment.

He was quite fond of this special force team, and they could continue working together in the future.

Since they were going to work together, he couldn’t omit this process. He didn’t have time to go out and play.

In fact, each of them got a bonus of 500,000 dollars, and they could choose whatever account they wanted to put it in.

The money wasn’t considered a reward. It was purely Luke giving them a basic living allowance to prevent these lawless guys from robbing hooligans over a car or a meal.

Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for Batman?

What was this master’s greatest ability? Money, of course.

Luke felt that he had to develop this practical ability.

Besides, if all the credit points given out this time were converted into money, it wasn’t even 20% of the dirty money in his inventory.

Thus, just like after the attack by the test subjects a few months ago, the special force team stayed on the down-low.

It was the same for the Avengers.

Except for Tony, nobody else appeared in public.

The media and public discussed theories about the two teams.

Of course, Luke felt that it was more like a public execution.

For example, a certain person with a cheap mouth became most well-known for shooting a gun with one hand and handling another type of “gun” with the other while flying through the air.

Because of that, he was bombarded by various PTAs, societies for the protection of minors, famous commentators and so on in America, and was criticized for his despicable and vulgar behavior which didn’t befit a superhero.

As for how strong this guy in a red and black suit was and how many people he had killed, that wasn’t the main point.

This despicable man was far more shameless than an ordinary person.

Even when he was on vacation, he called his boss and asked if he could be compensated for the mental damage caused by the media.

Luke simply replied, “Scram,” and ignored Wade, this lunatic.

This guy had just made more than 20 million. If he gave him more money, he would definitely have an even bigger appetite next time! Naturally, he had to fix this rotten character..
