Chapter 1754: “Debut” Ahead of Schedule
After hesitating for a moment, Tyrone finally gave his savior a name. ” Roxxon Corporation.”
Mindy was stunned. “The Roxxon Corporation that sells oil?”
Tyrone nodded solemnly. “They’re too powerful. They can even bribe NYPD to frame my brother. If they know that you’re helping me, they have 10,000 ways to frame you.”
After a brief silence, Mindy suddenly burst out laughing.
Tyrone was stunned. “What are you doing?”
Mindy put her hand to her forehead. “Come on, do you know who I am?”
“You…” Tyrone thought for a moment before he understood. “Fine, I only know that you’re called Little Bear.”
But he immediately added, “But Roxxon is different. They’re very powerful. They might be able to uncover your real ident.i.ty.”
Mindy was about to say something harsh, but recalling the safety rules, she changed the topic. “It’s fine. As long as we communicate via a single line, we’re safe. You just need to remember that you’ll be working for me.”
There was doubt in Tyrone’s eyes, but he didn’t continue pursuing the matter.
At most, he would be careful in the future and not cause trouble for Little Bear.
Mindy then asked him about his grudge against Roxxon Corporation.
It happened ten years ago. Tyrone’s brother had been a street hoodlum. One night, he was caught stealing by the patrol officers, and he accidentally barged into a certain dock.
In the end, Tyrone’s brother was killed at the dock, and the patrol officers chasing him said that he had resisted arrest.
When Tyrone heard the conversation between the patrol officers and the person who killed his brother, he knew that it wasn’t a police officer who had killed his brother, but a guard at the dock.
As he grew up, Tyrone investigated the cause of his brother’s death, and discovered that the two patrol officers had resigned not long after that incident to become security guards for Roxxon Corporation.
He had suspected that Roxxon was behind everything.
When he started investigating the connection between Roxxon Corporation and what happened back then, someone came to capture him, but he escaped.
Later, he started playing hide and seek with them, until one day, when the other party found an opportunity to shoot and injure him. He couldn’t escape, but he ran into Mindy, who had come out at night to fight.
Mindy knocked out the other party, saved the heavily wounded and unconscious Tyrone, and treated him, saving his life.
Of course, Tyrone wasn’t an ordinary person.
Mindy had seen him use his ability when he escaped that night, and had observed him for a while before roping him in.
Now that she understood the grudge between Tyrone and Roxxon Corporation, she wasn’t scared at all. Instead, her eyes flickered.
Hadn’t Killian been in cahoots with Roxxon Corporation last time?
She had been bored the whole time. Now that she was going up against Roxxon Corporation, this was definitely G.o.d’s arrangement.
However, she was well aware of how terrifying Roxxon Corporation was.
Almost half the gas stations in America had the Roxxon oil logo on them. Apart from ordinary people like the gas station employees, Roxxon had more than a thousand mid- and high-level staff. It was impossible to kill all of them like they were drug dealers.
Thus, they could only look for the mastermind behind the murder.
But this was very dangerous.
Nikki, Monica, and Joseph were all too young and lacked practical combat experience. It wasn’t suitable for them to partic.i.p.ate in such a dangerous operation.
Mindy decided that she and “the victim,” Tyrone, would do it.
This would be Ursa Minor’s “debut.”
Batman set up the Pacific Detective Department to hire temp workers to help with cases.
So, as a private detective, there was nothing wrong with her looking for Tyrone for a temp a.s.signment.
Making up her mind, she took out a roll of cash from her purse and tossed it to Tyrone. “I’ll give you a week’s pay in advance. You need to adjust yourself before you continue.”
Tyrone subconsciously caught the roll of cash and looked at it, only to see that it was 20-dollar bills.
20 bills meant 400 dollars in total.
Of course, it wasn’t a lot, but since Little Bear was helping him get revenge, he couldn’t take the money.
He mumbled, “I… can’t take this.”
Mindy waved her hand impatiently. “If I don’t pay you, are you going to do odd jobs to make a living? We don’t have that much time. Also, this is just an interns.h.i.+p. If you work hard for me in the future, your salary will increase.”
Tyrone: “What?”
Wasn’t this treatment a little too good?
He realized that he was still inexperienced.
Since he had been given the money, it was settled.
Mindy then took out a piece of nanomaterial from her bag and covered Tyrone’s face.
This could be considered the “raw” version of the nanomask. It couldn’t copy someone else’s face, and could only change details of their appearance.
After his forehead, cheekbones, and nose were raised to change the subtle shape of his eyes and mouth, Tyrone saw a completely unfamiliar face in the mirror.
Mindy said, “Okay, wear something a little bigger, put on the backpack, and come with me.”
Ten minutes later, they left Manhattan through an alley that didn’t have any surveillance cameras.
Looking at New Jersey across the river from the shadows of the alley, Mindy gestured. “Can you teleport over there?”
Tyrone’s expression changed, but he smiled bitterly. “You saw it the other day?”
Mindy didn’t think much of it. “It’s just a superpower. You don’t have to be so shy.”
Tyrone: …Am I being shy?
Mindy said, “Alright, you’re faster than I am. I’ll get going first.”
With that, she glided lightly toward the river and quickly disappeared.
Tyrone’s eyes widened. …Fine, she wasn’t an ordinary person either.
With a thought, his figure twisted and turned into a shadow which quickly shrunk until he disappeared.
The next moment, a black dot swiftly expanded into a shadow behind a tree on the other side of the river and quickly returned to its original form.
Suppressing his agitated emotions after using his ability, he looked at the river.
Vaguely, he saw a shallow ripple. It rushed up to the sh.o.r.e and stopped next to him.
Then, Mindy appeared, and she nodded at him in satisfaction. “Not bad. Your ability is interesting. Hm, let’s talk when we get there.”
Soon, she found two motorbikes that had been prepared earlier, and they rode north.
After traveling more than 20 kilometers, they stopped in front of a bungalow.
Mindy opened the door and walked in. When Tyrone entered, she closed the door and said, “You’ll stay here for the next few months. I’ll send your training plan over tomorrow. When I think you’re ready, we’ll start investigating your brother’s matter.”
Tyrone, who was examining the house, was stunned for a few seconds. He pointed at the room. “Is this… for me?”
Mindy didn’t want to waste time. She nodded affirmatively. “Of course. This way, you won’t be exposed or hurt again before the training is over. If you want revenge, you have to learn to protect yourself first. Do you expect me to help you deal with Roxxon if you’re dead?”
