Chapter 1756 - The Girl and Peculiar Ursa Minor

New York was now a world-famous “safe zone.”

There were a lot of thieves here, but few of them dared to use guns.

Unless there was a sudden superpower-related emergency, this place was safer than most metropolises.

The Bat Squad had already proven their prowess.

From small gangs to superhumans and even mercenaries and assassins, it wasn’t a big deal for them to come to New York and just be good, regular passers-by. If they caused trouble, it was very easy for them to get broken bones – going to the hospital first before going to prison was a common occurrence.

Armed crime in New York this year was 30% lower than three years ago.

That was also why Mindy dared to bring Joseph out for “training.”

Mindy waved her hand. “Just beat these hooligans up. Why are you so emotional? If you have the time, use that program of yours to help me find a drug nest.”

Joseph was a little helpless. “Why are you always looking for trouble with drug dealers? Because they’re especially bad?”

Mindy didn’t even have to think about her answer. “For money, of course. Taking down a drug nest is a lot more profitable than beating up 100 hooligans.”

Joseph was at a loss. “Huh?”

Wasn’t the answer supposed to be about upholding justice? After all, when she set up Ursa Minor, she had been so puffed up about it

If it wasn’t for what she said, Joseph would never follow her to beat up hooligans at night.

Besides, how much money could these nests have? How could they compare with the revenue from his game?

It had to be pointed out that not long after the Angry Birds game was released, it had gotten a pretty good recommendation as a new product in the Titanium app store, and the number of downloads skyrocketed.

Joseph just needed to put the data into a simple math model to predict that he would earn more than a million dollars in revenue within a year.

He also had to give his co-creator “Handicapped” a dividend, but this was just a small game.

Joseph had learned a lot after listening to Luke.

Not to mention, he had other plans to make money. As long as he found the right path, it might be impossible for him to earn hundreds of thousands every minute, but it wouldn’t be a problem to earn hundreds of thousands a month.

How long would it take to squeeze out that amount from the drug dealers in New York?

For a moment, Joseph was unable to say anything.

After a long while, he came back to himself and saw that he was surrounded by low buildings. They had arrived at the top of a four-story building on the east side of Queens.

Mindy canceled her stealth mode. She sat on the edge of the roof and took out two pieces of chocolate from her bag. “Take a break.”

Joseph consciously canceled his stealth mode and took the chocolate before sitting down.

Looking at a certain person who was humming a song as she kicked her short legs in the air, Joseph thought of Nikki’s long legs and twitched before he silently turned his head to eat the chocolate.

They had formed a certain tacit understanding recently, and didn’t have to make small talk.

However, using his understanding of general psychology, Joseph deduced that the reason a certain violent girl liked to come out on night operations was probably because she had reached her rebellious phase.

Unfortunately, her father was a little intimidating, so she could only take Joseph along to vent her restless emotions.

It seemed that he had to pay more attention when he got to this age in the future. This hormonal rebellious phase was a waste of time.

Also, his siblings were all thick-skinned and black-hearted. He couldn’t afford to provoke them.

While one studied the other, a voice suddenly rang out behind them. “What are you doing?”

Alarmed, they both turned around.

The difference was that when Mindy turned around, she didn’t forget to push herself to her feet.

When Joseph turned his body around, however, there was instantly empty air under his butt. He screamed and disappeared from the rooftop.

Mindy rolled her eyes; this newbie’s clumsy performance was too painful to watch.

To stop the guy from being injured, however, she could only throw away her half-eaten chocolate before swiping her waist.

A yo-yo flew out at the flailing Joseph, who yelled “ah~~” as he bounced up and down a few times.

Mindy wanted to cover her face. This guy was really embarrassing.

But when she saw the person behind her, her eyes lit up. “Hey, how old are you?”

Three meters away, a barefoot girl in a white nightgown shook her head. “I can’t tell you.”

Mindy was stumped. “Then what’s your name?”

The girl shook her head again. “Can’t tell you.”

Mindy wanted to ask more questions, but Joseph said meekly, “Can you pull me up first?”

Annoyed, she let go, only to hear a short cry of “ah~”

“Boom!” The world finally quieted down.

Two seconds later, Joseph stuck his head over the edge of the roof a little embarrassedly. “Actually, you could be a little gentler.”

Mindy snorted. “Starting tomorrow, I’m going to give you more training in floating.”

Joseph: “…”

After bickering for a moment, their gazes fell on the girl in the white dress not far away.

Joseph discreetly touched the side of his forehead and quickly activated the detection function on his helmet.

Mindy asked again, “Then what can you tell us?”

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, before she shook her head decisively. “I don’t know.”

Mindy: “…”

Joseph coughed. “Did you want something?”

Uncertain, the girl looked at him curiously. “Who… are you?”

Pondering for a few seconds, Joseph replied, “Person of Destiny.”

Mindy raised an astonished eyebrow at this little brother’s domineering nickname.

The girl nodded. “You look a little like someone I know.”

Joseph asked, “Who?”

The little girl said, “I can’t tell you.”

Mindy: “…”

Joseph: “…”

This was how the first exchange between the three kids started.

…

Luke didn’t monitor Joseph’s every move. He wasn’t worried about his brother’s safety.

Joseph always wore the nanosuit when he went out with Mindy.

Although it was strange that it was Mindy who gave his brother armor made by Luke, Luke was very encouraging about it.

What was so embarrassing about a man relying on his abilities to make a living?

Most other men envied such outstanding men because they didn’t have the same means.

No matter how Joseph got his armor, Luke could directly check Joseph’s situation in an emergency.

If it were any other boy who knew that he was being monitored 24/7, his heart would definitely collapse.

Luke couldn’t use the excuse that “it’s for your own good” with a little brother as cold and sensitive as Joseph.

Thus, without Luke knowing, Ursa Minor quietly turned into a “peculiar” organization.
