Chapter 1047: Searching Far and Wide

This wasn’t wasted effort.

He had come up with Elementary Telekinesis and Elementary Annihilation in this way.

Experimenting like this now, he might be able to develop a powerful mental ability, or possibly turn a support technique into an attack strategy.

A mental ability might not do much as a physical attack, but it was a top-notch weapon against a person’s inner psyche, and was far more powerful than firearms.

If Luke had Kilgrave’s full ability to control both men and women, he would be able to live a carefree life even without the system.

That was the best choice for keeping a low profile and lurking behind the scenes.

Of course, the system was better.
There was no need to scheme against others; just do your own thing and work hard to increase your experience and credit points.

With that in mind, he took one last look at Jessica, who was lying on the couch with a smile on her face and drooling.
He shook his head and smiled.
“I hope you’re one of the lucky ones.”

For Jessica, living like this wasn’t any better than going insane.

The worst was to experience pain and despair while sober.

It was the same with Molly, who was also one of Kilgrave’s victims; this was Luke’s reason for choosing them as test subjects.

They were like terminally ill patients.
If they couldn’t be cured, they might as well just die; the most painful thing was to carry on like this.

Of course, it wasn’t a glorious thing to make this kind of decision for others.

Luke would compensate them in other ways.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a pen and paper, wrote down a message, and stuck it to the gleaming front door.

People still needed to be pushed a little, and alcoholics were no exception.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he left the office and drove back home.

Bang bang bang bang!

There was the scattered sound of gunshots a little further away.

This was a relatively empty area, with nothing to block the sound of gunfire.

Luke sped up and approached the direction which the gunshots had come from.

If he ran into criminals killing people, it would be a good source of income.

If it was criminals fighting each other, it would be a good source of income x2.

He really didn’t mind earning a few hundred experience and credit points on the way home.

When he arrived outside an old car workshop, there was a strong smell of blood.

There was even a trail of it which led here from a hundred meters away.

From the smell, someone must have bled a lot in a truck as they entered this place.

Of course, there was even more blood in the workshop.
There were at least seven or eight people inside.

And the battle was over.

The gunshots which Luke had heard earlier had been the tail end of the conflict.

He released a mini drone from his inventory to fly into the workshop.

Looking at the figure on the screen, he was stunned for a moment, before he heaved a long sigh of relief.
“I’ve finally found you, Frank Castle!”

For a moment, he almost wanted to laugh out loud.

This matter had almost become a sore spot for him.

Luke wasn’t omnipotent, and wouldn’t necessarily be able to find whoever he was looking for.
However, Robert owed the man a huge favor, so Luke absolutely had to protect Frank Castle.

He also knew about Frank’s huge tragedy: his wife and children had all died one night, and he almost died himself, before he quietly disappeared.

Luke didn’t dare tell Robert about this at all.
He was afraid that Robert would think of making a comeback.

Frank Castle was still alive.

If there was a grudge, there would be vengeance.
The main culprit was still alive; naturally, if Frank wanted revenge, he would have to do it himself.

Luke was confident that he could handle this matter, so Robert could only enjoy the retired life at home with Catherine.

Luke stopped the car and walked into the workshop.
He even started humming a song.
“…I think I did it again.
I made you believe, we’re more than just friends…”

The middle-aged man who was checking the workshop to see if anyone had slipped through his fingers frowned.
He suddenly turned around and raised the shotgun in his hand, aiming at the figure walking through the door.

But he didn’t shoot.

The other party had started humming from about twenty meters away.
It wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t soft either.

Regardless of whether it was arrogance or something else, it was a sign that the other party had no intention of ambushing him.

If it wasn’t an ambush, then there was something he wanted.

Frank had killed countless people, but he wouldn’t kill innocents.

The man in the gray hoodie stopped ten meters away and greeted him.
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Francis Stronghold.
Gray Rabbit sends his greetings.”

Frank Castle’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained cold.
“Who are you?”

Luke chuckled.
“You can call me Puncher!”

Frank’s face darkened, and he was about to pull the trigger.
“Are you investigating me?”

Luke said, “You could say that.
It seems you need some help completing your… revenge?”

He scanned the bodies of the criminals around him.
“Correct me if I’m wrong.”

Frank: “What do you know?”

Luke said, “Something happened to your family.
They… huh?”

Boom!

The shotgun suddenly opened fire, but Luke dodged it.

He said helplessly, “Hey, I told you Gray Rabbit asked me to help you.
Why are you still fighting?”

Frank, however, had a ferocious look on his face.
“You only know about this because you’re on their side!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All three shotgun bullets missed.
They hit the surrounding cars with a clatter.

Luke immediately hid behind a truck and scratched his head.

Of course, he understood what Frank meant.

Those who had nothing to do with the deaths of his family couldn’t possibly find him, because it had been almost two years.

Also, Frank’s psychological issues were no less severe than Jessica’s.
Should Luke really switch careers and become a psychiatrist? As he pondered, he jumped lightly off the side of the truck to circle around to the back.

And Frank just happened to come around from the front.

Boom!

The shot missed again.

Activating a combination of Elementary Sound Wave, Mental Communication and Basic Hypnosis, Luke explained calmly, “It was Gray Rabbit who wanted to contact you.
I investigated for a long time before I found the police department and hospital records.
Besides, Gray Rabbit wouldn’t hurt your family, right?”

Frank’s hot head felt as if a cup of water had been poured over it.
He instantly became much more clear-headed.

The record of his military discharge was confidential, and he and Gray Rabbit were part of the same secret unit.

It was unlikely that the gangsters who killed his family had the capability to uncover such confidential information.

No, those gangsters didn’t know his identity, and they weren’t inclined to look into it.
Otherwise, they would have suspected him long ago.

So… it was his mistake? Frank hesitated.

Luke continued to talk as he launched his mental assault.
“At least let me finish.
Gray Rabbit said that using his name would save my life.
What’s up with shooting me right off the bat?”

Frank hesitated even more when he heard that.
