Chapter 428 Stealing Monsters? Who’s Afraid?!
Selina said a few words on the side before she replied, “Captain Wales said that they only sent one helicopter.”
Luke frowned. “Then they better hurry. Two unknown individuals have already shown up, and they look like they want to nab the glory.”
Selina was still on the line with Captain Wales, and she promptly relayed Luke’s words to him.
A moment later, she said, “Agent Charles has been dispatched. Captain Wales requests that you help him as much as possible to capture Bruce.”
Luke sighed. “Okay, no problem.”
He was returning the favor.
Wales had always been helpful, so Luke couldn’t turn down this small request.
Looking at the two strangers, who had gotten back into their car and were driving into the alley, he grumbled, “Why have all kinds of freaks been popping up lately?”
With his keen sight, it had been easy for him to tell that something wasn’t right about these two.
The way the blonde and the old man acted gave him a sense of mismatch; it was like watching an 80-year-old man suddenly jump two meters to dunk a basketball in the park.
An old man who could do a slam dunk might be a youngster in makeup playing a practical joke, but from their scents, these two strangers absolutely weren’t in makeup.
But Luke couldn’t help thinking that they were peculiar.
As he pondered this strange duo, Luke ran into the alley as well. In front of him, the Chevrolet barged its way through the alley before disappearing around the corner as the alley let out onto another street.
Luke dashed out as well and turned his head to see that Bruce the tyrannosaur was still on the run.

At that moment, his phone rang.
“Luke, where’s the guy?” It was Agent Charles.
Luke replied, “If you’re on the chopper from the north, he’s two hundred meters in front of you on the left and is quickly approaching your location.”
There was a brief silence before Charles said helplessly, “We’re coming from the south, so that guy is… two kilometers away? D*mn it.”
As he ran, Luke said, “In any case, I’ll do my best to follow him, but I can’t guarantee that you’ll catch him. There are two strangers in a Chevrolet Laguna who are chasing him too, and Mr. Bruce is quite scared of the… well, the bananas that they have.”
Charles was silent again for a moment, before he replied, “Copy that. In any case, thank you for your help.” Luke said, “Okay, hurry up. I’m going to get into my car.” He hung up and picked up his pace as he ran into a small alley next to Odyssey Hotel. With a screech of tires, his car charged out of the underground parking lot in the next moment and drifted to a stop in front of him.
Luke grabbed the door that was already open and nudged Selina into the pa.s.senger seat with his right hand before he closed the door again with his left hand.
The next moment, the car sped up and drove off.
“Bruce is fleeing northwest. The helicopter over him has an FBI logo too,” said Selina as she held onto the grab handle with one hand and the tablet with the other.
Luke said, “Who the h.e.l.l knows whose helicopter that is. Also, did you see the two strangers?”
Selina nodded and said, “I ran their appearances and basic data through the program, and there were no matches in the criminal database. So, they aren’t criminals, at least not in Los Angeles. Do you want me to keep searching?”
Luke shook his head. “No need for now. Where’s Charles?”
Operating the tablet, Selina said, “Their chopper just caught up to the other chopper.”
Luke ducked his head a little to look at the sky outside the winds.h.i.+eld, and saw that the two helicopters were now very close at about a kilometer up ahead as they flew practically right next to each other.
Bruce’s enormous body bounced under their searchlights as he ran on the walls in a zigzag pattern.
The two helicopters couldn’t do anything for the time being.
They would have plenty of ways to capture him if he were on the ground, but it was a lot harder now with him running on the walls.
Luke stepped on the gas pedal and sped up.
One minute later, Luke caught up with the two helicopters as well as the Chevrolet Laguna in front of him. In the pa.s.senger seat of the Laguna, the old man was aiming his banana.
Luke was lost for words. Which pervert invented this? Why did it have to be shaped like a banana? Couldn’t they make it look like a chicken leg or something?!
When he fiddled with the toy banana earlier, he realized that it was indeed plastic, and there was nothing wrong with its weight and smell.
But what was strange was that with his strength, he couldn’t crush this banana in his hand.
The banana gave him the same sense of mismatch as the two strangers in the Chevrolet.
As he chased them, he made several other discoveries.
The old man in the pa.s.senger seat was indeed firing soft blue light rays from the banana non-stop, and Bruce ran in a zigzag pattern to evade them.
Conversely, the two helicopters in the sky were like pa.s.sers-by, or at most a temp light crew helping the people in the Chevrolet to see and aim.
A moment later, Luke said, “Selina, you drive.”
Putting down the back of his seat, he scooted backward, but kept his right foot on the gas pedal and his left foot on the wheel to keep the car steady.
Selina shuffled sideways and replaced Luke’s foot on the gas pedal first before she took control of the wheel with her own hands.
Luke then completely retreated into the backseat, pressed the b.u.t.ton to bring the driver’s seat back up, and fastened Selina’s safety belt for her.
The sunroof of the car was now completely open. Luke stood up in the backseat with his M4A1. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bruce, who was running on the wall, covered his b.u.t.t and fell. “Ouch, hurts, hurts! You again! I’m gonna…” Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! “Ouch, hurts!” Before Bruce could finish, Luke launched a storm of bullets at his face again. Bruce couldn’t help but cover his face and cry out in pain.
At that moment, Luke suddenly turned the muzzle of his gun.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Chevrolet Laguna shuddered and swerved off the road to crash into a row of dumpsters.
Just now, Luke had noticed out of the corner of his eye the old man aiming the banana at Bruce again.
This was his and Wales’s case. He certainly wasn’t going to let two unknown ent.i.ties steal his credit.
Luke’s intervention instantly changed everything. As Bruce rolled and fell onto the street, both helicopters finally carried out the measures which they had long put in place almost at the same time.
