This haunted house in Wever was one of the few cases that Luke had never solved.
This had been a good opportunity to fix the situation. He had screwed old Mephisto over a little, so he left with the female doctor in a good mood.
As for old Mephistoâs revenge, Luke wasnât worried.
The fact that this old fox didnât retaliate immediately meant that Luke hadnât crossed a bottom line this time, and that the other party didnât have the courage to retaliate.
Since he hadnât flipped out immediately, that meant he would be less determined to retaliate in the future.
After enduring a few more times, it would become a habit.
Old Mephisto wasnât a newbie; he should understand this principle.
After getting off to a good start with the female doctor, Luke turned some of his attention to Eddie.
This righteous paparazzo was much better than the female doctor in various ways. At the very least, Venom and a certain dog head were very similar.
A low starting point meant low expectations.
…
As a âloserâ among symbiotes, Venom was definitely much easier to fool than Agony.
With Lukeâs backing, Eddieâs ârequirementâ was fresh organs, eyes, and brains to eat every day â of course, not human ones.
Duping Venom meant training Eddie, and Luke simply gave him the personal contacts of several top meat suppliers.
As long as he had money, Eddie could even go to a slaughterhouse and wait for the animal to be slaughtered there and then.
This expense was submitted as part of the cost of ârearingâ Venom, which could be considered a training investment.
However, when Eddie slipped and used the word ârearing,â Venom expressed its dissatisfaction.
Eddie had no choice but to give it cow or pig brains every day in exchange for its forgiveness.
Recently, a certain dog head who liked to check on Venom when it was free would laugh so hard it rolled on the ground, and it continued to mock its fellow for being uncouth.
Eddieâs admittance into the PDD, but Luke wasnât satisfied with the situation after that.
Apart from submitting over 30 pieces of information about shady dealings in one go, this gold-star paparazzo hadnât done anything else.
After taking tens of thousands of dollars for the information, the guy immediately went to get back his ex-girlfriend, Anne.
Luke wasnât an unreasonable person. He never meddled in the Bat Squadâs personal relationships, and even encouraged them.
They just needed to do a background check to make sure that they werenât being screwed over by some scumbag.
Eddie couldnât be blamed for chasing after his ex, but he was completely engrossed in this endeavor, which pissed off his direct superior, Director Selina.
This was the first âbackup heroâ she had recruited, but he was no longer thinking about upholding justice.
When she tried asking Luke what she should do, she got a reply very much in line with her thinking. âThe reason both the PDD and the Justice League use a temp system is to screen people multiple times and eliminate those who donât share our values.â
Director Selina was stunned. âI thought Eddie was a sure thing.â
Luke took a sip of his green tea and shook his head at the directorâs naive thought. âDo you think only idiots would believe those scam text messages we get from time to time?â
Director Selinda nodded. For a moment, she couldnât think how this had to do with what they were talking about.
Luke picked up a roast pork bun. âActually, it uses the same principle as our elimination method.â
Selinaâs eyes widened. âWhat?â
She didnât understand how her PDD was related to fraud.
Luke stuffed the bun into his mouth and chewed. His words were a little muffled as he said, âBecause it uses a certain standard to eliminate âclientsâ who donât meet the requirements. For these scammers, they need to eliminate those who arenât stupid; whoever is left are naturally idiots who are willing to give them money.â
Pausing for a moment to swallow his bun, he then said, âThe PDD will eliminate people who just want to make money and enjoy themselves. Theyâll be temps forever. Weâll just give them money to get things done. If they run out of luck, that wonât have anything to do with us. After all, weâve already given them the money.â
Taking another sip of tea, he continued, âThe majority of people will be eliminated when it comes to the Justice League. Some of them might be good, some might be strong, and some might have special abilities, but all of them will have their own reasons for not being superheroes. They can be made official employees of the PDD; theyâll feel itâs safer to keep a certain distance.â
Selina stuffed two siu mai into her mouth as she listened to Lukeâs explanation. Puzzled, she asked, âBut Eddie already knows that you and I hired him.â
The Dark Knight had fought the Joker in the research building. Eddie wasnât stupid, and knew that he was special.
Luke chuckled. âThatâs because Venom is a target under surveillance. What if this guy only thinks about eating peopleâs brains, eyes and organs every day? Now, even if Venom knows that weâre monitoring its every move, it wonât be unhappy, because weâre the ones paying.â
Selinaâs eyes widened. âThe two of them together only get 200,000 to 300,000 dollars a year, right? And⊠theyâre just going to accept that?â
Luke looked at the dog head at Selinaâs feet who was unhurriedly enjoying its snacks, and said casually, âItâs just a newly-hired temp worker. If it wants a raise, itâll have to work hard. Other people only get big bonuses after going out on combat missions. Why should it get millions of bucks for nothing?â
If that really happened, wouldnât the dog head immediately explode? It was only because it was cautious and conscientious that it was able to enjoy its current status.
The Bat Squad was treated well because they followed Luke out on missions time and time again.
Everyone had to work hard.
In comparison, the dog head hadnât fought as many battles, yet it earned countless times more â of course it wouldnât be unhappy.
It knew that it benefited a lot from working with Selina.
However, Eddie and Venom were still âtemp employeesâ; if they were treated dozens of times better than when the dog head first started âworkingâ back then, how could it not be angry?
It had always been in fierce âcompetitionâ with Venom, and it absolutely didnât want to be inferior.
Given Lukeâs protective nature, he wouldnât let Venom touch the dog head.
Half of what he said was for the dog head to hear.
This guy wasnât human and was brainless.
It wouldnât understand anything if it wasnât said plainly to its face.
Sure enough, the dog head ate more quickly, and it subconsciously wagged its tail.
Selina rolled her eyes. This guy was getting better and better at duping the dog head. He didnât increase his money or treatment, and simply made use of its âcompetitive spirit.â
No wonder he had gotten her to show herself in order to recruit Eddie.
Theoretically speaking, she should be using other aliases to recruit both temporary and official members for the PDD.
Only the superheroes who joined the Justice League would know that Black Cat was the PDD Director.
In a sense, Eddie and Venom were specially recruited as âtoolsâ to motivate Gold Nugget.
