Chapter 1938: How About We Buy Another Dog?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luke grabbed Haley’s arm and pressed her down on his knees.
He didn’t show any mercy at all as he smacked her.
It wasn’t just the female doctor, but Agony also screamed in ‘agony.’
Luke wasn’t just using brute force, but also a trace of faith.
He wasn’t going to kill the symbiote, but he could make it suffer.
!!
In human terms, the sensation was like rubbing menthol balm on your thighs.
Haley’s behavior earlier was a tacit understanding between her and Agony.
Ever since Luke s.n.a.t.c.hed her from Simon, he realized that her mental ups and downs caused her serious mental issues.
She actually didn’t hate Simon for using her as a test subject; conversely, she became addicted to being studied.
But Luke had easily sent Simon packing, and Simon was forced to go into hiding. His position in Haley’s heart had completely collapsed, and Joker naturally became the leader.
It could be said that what the female doctor enjoyed the most right now was being ruthlessly taught a lesson by the Joker.
But Luke didn’t have that much free time.
He wasn’t Simon, and didn’t have time to play mind games with Haley every day.
So, when he had taken Haley around with him as a newbie, he had first found a dog for Agony as a temporary host.
Without the mental immunity which Agony gave Haley, Luke swiftly tweaked Haley’s consciousness.
Luke spent some time fixing her reflex mechanism so that her pursuit of pain as a research subject was turned into a proper amount of pain which brought pleasure.
It wasn’t like Luke was giving her special treatment; it was just that the female doctor’s mental issues could only be alleviated and not completely resolved.
Agony would instantly eliminate any lasting effect of his abilities.
It was impossible for Luke to use his mental abilities and Pheromone Control to slowly resolve the problem like he had done with Alice and her daughter.
The female doctor’s name was bright red, and she had a restless temperament; it didn’t matter if Luke was a little rough.
As a master of physical techniques, it was a piece of cake for him to make someone feel immense pain without damaging their body.
This was much easier than using mental abilities on the symbiote.
Agony’s thinking was even simpler.
It would use the opportunity when Haley acted out to rebel. If it succeeded, it could escape, but if it failed, it would only suffer a little.
Thus, this was a ‘sneak attack’ and ‘lesson’ that all three parties present knew would happen.
Haley collapsed on Luke’s knees in pain.
After feeling the sting, Agony decisively shut down.
Softly rubbing the skin that was gradually turning red, Luke said unhurriedly, “I’ve already given you a thras.h.i.+ng. How much longer are you going to lie here?”
Haley wriggled unhappily. “I was busy outside for half a year.”
Luke smiled. “You get what you earn. If you want more, you have to earn it.”
As Haley slowly got up, she rubbed her plump chest against his legs before she stood up. “I’m going to take a shower first.”
Ten minutes later, she came out in a new silk nightgown, toweling her hair.
Sitting on the armrest of Luke’s chair, she turned around and curled her legs around Luke.
Luke locked the phone and placed it on the other armrest. “Okay, tell me what you found in Europe.”
Luke’s mission for Haley had been to start with the higher-ups in Europe and look for leads on Hydra’s hidden heads.
Still, he had a lot of reservations about Haley, this strange “3-star teammate.”
Batman was known to be rolling in tech, while the Joker was known for his evil abilities. Naturally, the way they did things had to be different.
Haley didn’t get a powerful A.I. program or any of the PDD connections, and her intelligence network was very low-end — it was just an ordinary phone network.
For the sake of secrecy, Haley collected and stored most of the information herself, and would only send Luke very important information in code.
The Joker wasn’t afraid of the American government, nor did he care about provoking the European government, so Haley had nothing to worry about.
With the changeable mask, her extensive knowledge of psychology, and the drugs and small tools which Luke provided her with, she could find many opportunities to get close to key figures for information.
Luke tagged the targets in order of how red their names were.
Most of them went missing, committed suicide, or went to prison, while a small number were left as bait.
For half a year, Europe was Haley’s playground.
Manipulating these high and mighty bigshots like puppets before destroying them gave her great satisfaction.
Help the dying and heal the injured? Forget it, this was the right answer.
She came back in high spirits, and Luke gave her another shot of Life 1 again – this was what she wanted.
This gave her both physical and mental pleasure!
Hearing Luke’s question, Haley curled up in the most comfortable position and whispered in his ear.
Luke placed his hands on her smooth legs and rubbed them slowly as he absorbed the intelligence he was hearing.
Her legs were very fair and smooth, and weren’t blue. He didn’t feel the least bit burdened at touching them.
Haley had brought back a lot of information this time, and Luke would interject every now and then.
Naturally, his hands didn’t stay still.
So, an hour later, although the swelling had gone down, Haley still felt warm.
When she was done, she switched positions, closed her eyes, and lay back lazily.
Luke’s hands could only switch positions. Looking thoughtfully at the starry night sky outside the window, he mumbled, “Whitehall? Hehe, he actually hid in Finland for two years before coming out. No wonder I couldn’t find him.”
…
When Haley woke up on the couch, Luke was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the thin blanket over her, she asked Agony and learned that the Joker had left not long after she fell asleep last night.
She couldn’t help but mumble to herself, How about I buy another dog today and you camp out there for a couple of days?
Agony: Get lost.
They had just gotten a shot of Life 1 last night. Even with Agony’s help, it would take a week to completely absorb it.
It would be a huge loss if it was chased out to occupy a dog.
Besides, why should a grand symbiote like it combine with a dog?
This woman was crazy! Without Agony’s help, she might’ve been bedridden for days with her b.u.t.t in the air.
Now that her b.u.t.t was fine, she wanted to burn the bridge and ditch it to hook up with that hateful Joker? Dream on!
But after Haley cleaned herself up and left after breakfast, she really went to the pet store.
Agony objected wildly in her head, but Haley was unmoved.
She could still live well without Agony.
Agony couldn’t live well without her — it couldn’t get Life 1.
Haley also knew very well that the Joker was biased.
Every time he saw Agony’s blue-skinned form, he was clearly disgusted, but he appreciated Haley herself.
She wouldn’t change her biggest goal for Agony.
The Joker had to be with the Queen forever.
