Chapter 258 Good news: We’re moving! Bad news: Your house is gone!
"Hehe! Cate isn’t here tonight, this room, and you, completely belong to my personal playthings now!"
Frost seemed to have gotten her way, saying, "Tonight, you are not allowed to make any more excuses to sneak up to the rooftop to catch the cold wind and secretly date that brain-damaged female thief!"
The brain-damaged female thief referred to the raven-haired Kara.
Ever since becoming love rivals, Killer Frost had been calling Kara that.
"Oh? Your personal playthings?" Lucas wrapped his arm around Frost’s waist. "How bold! It seems I must let you experience what true man’s strength is like, and we shall battle for three thousand rounds!"
Frost had a very strong recovery ability and was proficient in the arts of protracted battle.
Their breathing gradually grew burning hot.
"Hello sir, Amazon delivery, please come out and sign for it, thank you!"
A crisp knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.
"Damn!" Frost cursed inwardly. "It’s that stinky woman Cai again! She definitely calculated that I would cling to you and used this time to have a delivery sent to the house, interrupting our tender moment!"
Before Lucas could speak, Frost walked to the door with a murderous look on her face. "I want to see which blind courier dares to knock on the door at a time like this!"
When a woman is unreasonable, she is truly unreasonable.
Frost stepped in high heels and reached out to twist the doorknob, her temperament cold and ethereal.
Click.
The moment the gap in the door opened, there were no visitors outside at all, only an antimatter bomb adsorbed on the hidden compartment of the door frame. With just a gentle trigger, it would directly produce a directional explosion.
Boom!!
An ionic fireball gushed out, carrying an Impact enough to tear the entire building apart, blooming right in front of the hallway!
However!
Just as those tongues of fire were about to swallow Frost, the colors of the entire World suddenly faded, turning into a state of absolute silence.
Time froze.
The wave of fire hovered mid-air, the wood chips of the door panel were like stationary dust, and the astonished expression on Killer Frost’s face hadn’t even had time to fully form before Lucas leisurely got up from the sofa.
He walked over slowly and scooped Frost up horizontally in his arms.
Lucas was even too lazy to put out that ball of fire, merely controlling the explosion within the area of this room, and vanished on the spot in a Flash.
Boom!
A loud crash came from inside the apartment, but the entire building was completely unharmed, except for a tongue of fire darting out from the window of Lucas’s residence.
S.T.A.R. Labs.
Holding Frost, Lucas appeared behind Cate. Caitlin was so startled that she almost threw the needle right into Lucas’s face.
"What’s going on, are the two of you so arrogant now? You don’t avoid people at all?"
Caitlin spread her hands in shock.
"I know you’re in a rush, but don’t rush! Things are not quite what you think. I have two pieces of news; do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?" Lucas set Frost down on the ground.
Caitlin’s eye twitched. "Let me guess, the good news is that you and Frost plan to get together! The bad news is that I’m going to be dumped?"
Frost crossed her arms. "That’s right, it’s like that. Let go, Cai! You can’t handle a man like this, it still takes me personally to tolerate him, and I have this strength! As for you, you only deserve to stand aside and watch!"
The gunpowder smell between these two women was getting thicker and thicker.
Lucas slapped his forehead, feeling a great headache coming on. "Stop bickering!"
"The good news is that we are about to move into a big house with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the scenery of Central City, and we can even hire a few servants specifically to help us trim the lawn!"
Caitlin looked puzzled. "So... our relationship is advancing to the next step? That is indeed good news, but can I choose the location of the new house!"
"Yes."
"Then what’s the bad news?"
"Your home is gone, Cai!"
Caitlin: "..."
...
Caitlin noticed another thing: Lucas’s linguistic system was sometimes truly thunderous. He didn’t curse much, but he always managed to leave people speechless to the point of wanting to laugh at unexpected moments.
"Cai, you know we’re in a fair competition!" Frost crossed her arms, her tone somewhat teasing. "Your challenge is very interesting, using a bomb to attack me, wanting to neatly and cleanly get rid of me, this thorn in your side!"
Caitlin helped Lucas sit down.
Her home was gone; she had no time to bicker with Frost.
"If you were really blown to death, I guarantee I’d place two strings of Lucas’s hometown’s authentic three-thousand-crack firecrackers in front of your grave mound, just like celebrating Festival!"
"Oh, right! I’ll even specially hire a lion dance team!"
Frost wanted to speak further, but Lucas raised his hand to interrupt.
"Alright, you two sarcastic women! Shouldn’t the focus be on investigating the criminal motive? Who have both of you offended? Someone specially prepared an antimatter bomb. If that thing is poorly controlled, destroying the whole building is a small matter; with a slightly larger yield, it could wipe Central City right off the surface of the earth!"
As soon as Lucas’s voice fell, both women cast their gazes over simultaneously.
"What do you mean by looking at me like that?" Lucas said, feeling a bit unnatural.
...
One hour later.
The others arrived one after another. Barry and Joe had gone out on duty overnight to investigate the blast debris.
"The power of this antimatter bomb was strictly controlled. At most, it would have torn the entire building apart, but it seems some force prevented the decay and successfully reduced the explosion power, narrowing the range down to this room."
Barry analyzed.
Lucas could understand, but he didn’t really want to understand. "So, can this fastest Sherlock Holmes in the World give a conclusion on who wants to kill me?"
Joe looked at Lucas and said, "I think this question should be asked back to yourself. People who can usually do such things definitely have a fairly strong criminal motive. Caitlin doesn’t have enemies of this caliber, and Frost is still just a newborn. Aside from you... it seems there are no other options!"
Lucas said earnestly, "I am applying for police protection; this has seriously endangered my personal safety!"
Barry: "..."
...
"Clifford, the bomb really didn’t work. Your judgment was right, that Lucas has major problems." DeVoe’s wife stood with her hands behind her back, like a specially trained butler.
DeVoe crossed his arms and carefully checked the video footage.
"Drag the video playback speed to the slowest, and then look at the lower left corner."
The woman did as told, zoomed in on the image, and then pressed a few keys to make the video footage even clearer.
On the screen, Lucas was holding Frost, reached out a hand from underneath, and gave a big middle finger.
This was clearly provocation!
"It really is him! He did all the bad things!" DeVoe flew into a rage.
He had calculated everything flawlessly, yet from beginning to end, he had missed the most dangerous character!
This was simply incredible!
"Clifford, shouldn’t we calm down? This person was able to successfully escape from the antimatter bomb explosion and take that woman away; his speed is probably not far behind the Flash!"
DeVoe calmed down and thought carefully, "That’s not a problem! I want all of his activity trajectories in Central City. The unknown is the most terrifying enemy, but with data, I can deduce his behavioral trajectories, thereby determining this person’s personality and preferences, and find weaknesses one by one to defeat him!"
