Luke coughed: "No, it's just lamenting the impermanence of the world." ”

Robert looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then finally gave up.

He was skeptical, but there was no evidence.

After wandering around New York City until five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the cottage and began to pack their bags and prepare to go home tomorrow.

Robert hesitated for a moment, but pulled Luca out of the house.

The two of them walked down the cold street, and he finally asked, "Are you ...... Any news from my old friend? ”

Luke hesitated and shook his head slightly: "I only found out that his real identity is Frank Custer, but his family no longer lives in New York." ”

Robert was stunned and was silent for a long time: "Then forget it, if he can return to a normal life, it will be better than anything else." ”

Luke: "He's important to you?" ”

Robert sighed, "He saved my life - three times." ”

He didn't say anything superfluous.

Luke, of course, understood what that meant.

Robert is a very affectionate guy, although he is usually very rude, but he remembers the favors he owes to others, and he will overpay them when he has the opportunity.

It can be said that he is a man with a lot of righteousness.

Fortunately, he went to be a soldier when he was young, and if he really went to join the gang, he was afraid that he would be killed by the pit.

Frank Custer saved him three times, and this was undoubtedly a fateful friendship, or an iron-clad friendship.

Luke could only be glad that he hadn't told Frank that he might be in trouble, otherwise Robert would have been restless.

I can only do this for him myself.

Without Robert, Luke would not have been able to grow up to be eighteen years old so comfortably and healthy.

The American stepfather has a much worse personality, and when he meets Robert, who is not worse than his own father, it is really a blessing for eight lifetimes.

Although he always likes to quarrel with Robert, Robert is his relative.

Robert and Catherine hold a place in his heart far beyond their parents who died early in this life.

The kindness and companionship that the two have given him for more than ten years can penetrate into his heart more than a simple blood relationship.

After briefly talking about this topic, the two returned to the small villa.

Catherine looked at the faces of the two and didn't ask anything, just beckoned the two to help pack their luggage.

On the morning of December 28, Luke sent everyone to the airport early and entered the VIP lounge as usual.

Although he rarely flies, he has VIP cards from major airlines.

After sitting for a moment, he got up and said to go shopping, and then he looked at the scenery near the airport runway.

In fact, he was using his keen sense of smell and gradually becoming proficient in elementary sound waves to do security checks.

It's not that he's nervous, it's that on Christmas Eve, it is said that a plane crashed into an airfield over there due to an empty cloth attack.

The airport in New York has also increased its alert and security levels, but Luke believes in himself more.

Suddenly, Selena sent a short video with a message: "Look at it, what is this?" ”

Luke thought she was bored and sent her the chocolate cake that her younger siblings had failed to make.

The failed cake, which at first glance looked like a lump of soaring, was still a thin one, and it succeeded in disgusting him.

Still, he turned on the short video.

As you can see on the video, it is a typical Texas wilderness, and then a big pit.

There seemed to be something in the center of the big pit, and many people were watching strongly, giggling and laughing.

Selena was standing on the edge of the pit and shooting down, and her voice rang out, "That's a hammer, right?" ”

Luke was stunned, always feeling that this scene was a little familiar.

Then, Selena sent a series of pictures and texts.

Looking over, it should be that she is walking under the big pit, taking pictures and sending them to him as she walks.

In the message, it was: "There are a lot of people coming. ”

"People are coming from farms and ranches around Shackford."

"They're pulling that ...... It's supposed to be a hammer-like thing. ”

"They said no one could hold the hammer."

“…… The hammer felt as if it had been welded to the ground. ”

Luke looked at the pictures and messages, and scolded with an extremely rare "Wang Defa", which attracted the sideways glances of many people around.

Because of his voice, it's really not small.

But where did he have the heart to care about them at the moment, so he sent a message directly to Selena, asking her to immediately start with the hammer and send a whole set of pictures from near and far.

Selena was already close to the hammer, so she didn't think much about it at the moment, and just did as he said.

Luke looked at it for less than a minute, then flipped back to the picture in front of him, looked at the big pit, and let out a long breath: "Damn, just kidding!" This can't be the meow hammer, right? ”

As soon as he said that, he went to book a plane ticket with Robert and the others.

Around Christmas, airfares are in short supply.

But fortunately, Luke is not short of money, and he has a very high-end VIP card, so he directly took the best position in business class, and called Dustin again, explaining that he was going back to his hometown to play with his family for a few days.

Dustin himself was on vacation, just let him keep the communication open, and then let him go.

There was really an emergency, and it would only take him half a day to summon Luke back.

Walking back to the lounge and looking at the family members who were chatting and resting, Luke smiled and said, "I thought about it, let's go back to my hometown with you for a few days." Unhappy? Surprised? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed in unison, and Claire and Joseph made a fuss around him.

Moments later, Luke sends a text message to Selena, telling her to take her family to Houston.

Whatever excuse she makes, even if it's a New Year's trip for the Hayek family, make sure everyone goes out for a few days.

Selena didn't ask anything at all, so she responded directly and went to arrange.

Luke was thinking in his heart about how to get his family out of Shackford.

The area around where the hammer is there is never been safe.

Fortunately, Robert is here, and he definitely understands how dangerous certain mysterious events can be.

Catherine, on the other hand, is usually silent, but she always knows what to expect.

So, there's only one real problem...... Grandpa Drakes.

Coincidentally, the pictures and text sent back by Selena indicated that the hammer was in the mountains next to the Coulson-Hayek joint ranch, not far from the ranch.

How can we get this grumpy old man away from his precious ranch?

His gaze soon stayed on Claire and Joseph beside him: it seemed that he could only use the big moves of these two - to the death, to the death, to be crazy and coquettish.

Having made up his mind, Luke called Robert and Catherine aside and whispered to them about the situation and the danger.

After the last cruise ship octopus incident, they had a very high level of trust in Luke, and it was easy to accept the recurrence of the "mysterious incident" and discuss it together.
