American drama of life

Chapter 4 Lost the wife and lost the army

Gary wanted to appreciate Luke's distressed look.

But Luke was quick to laugh.

Gary pointed at Luke and sneered away.

"Good boy, so cool!"

The movement here had already alarmed the Silver family, and Ben was the first to come over and slap Luke's chest hard.

"Luke, are you okay?"

Dr. Silver was a little worried.

After all, being eliminated naturally and being eliminated maliciously by others are two completely different concepts.

It is difficult for young people to adjust to such negative emotions.

"I am fine."

Luke smiled and said: "Gary's father is just a teacher at the New York Fire Academy. Let's not talk about how much rights he has, whether I will encounter it or not, it is the worst case, I will go to other cities to take the fire test. staff, or go to the University of Maryland first, the solution is better than the difficulty.”

"well said."

Mike patted Luke on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, when you graduate from college and become the New York fire chief, see how they face you."

"Why the promotion to fire chief?"

Luke smiled.

Nowadays, there are more and more teachers and staff in fire academies all over the country. Many firefighters from fire stations that have been abolished have nowhere to go, and they do not dare to fire them on a large scale. .

So the teachers in the Fire Academy are really nothing.

It's just a little troublesome for Luke who needs to get started now.

But it's just a little troublesome, not a mountain that can't be crossed at all.

"Luke, if it's in Washington, I might be able to help you find a relationship, but this is really..."

Mrs. Silver hesitated.

She used to be a reporter here, then a host, and got a better job when Luke's predecessor went with his father George in the food truck.

Go to Washington and be a news editor for a senator.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the senator was killed by a hard role political enemy.

Mrs. Silver returned to the family and ran a column in the newspaper on how to shop wisely.

Not to mention whether the person she found can speak, even herself, she also prefers not to want Luke to rush into the fire at such a young age.

"Don't worry, Mrs Silver, I can handle it myself."

Luke understood her mood and said with relief: "I am a man who wants to be a firefighter, and I will rely on myself to save lives in the future. If I can't overcome this little trouble, then I would be a firefighter. People's lives are not responsible."

"Don't worry about him, Mom."

Carroll laughed: "His luck won't be too bad."

The graduation ceremony is over.

Luke went with the Silver family to a feast to celebrate.

late at night.

Luke slipped out and headed for a bar.

He already had an idea on how to solve the trouble, and he was going to try it now.

Enter the bar.

Heavy metal music is deafening.

After tomorrow, many people will be separated from each other, so tonight is very lively.

On the bright side, you are only allowed to drink at the age of 21, but the greatest dignity of the law is enforcement.

Clearly, the laws here have no dignity.

"A few ladies over there invited you."

As soon as Luke sat down, the waiter at the bar put a cocktail in front of him and motioned him to look at the guest.

"Thanks."

Luke raised his glass to the girl over the bar who was giggling at him, but then put it down and didn't drink.

In this environment, he dared not drink anything.

God knows what's in there.

You know, three days later, the New York firefighters will be assessed, and one of them is a drug test.

If there is something in the wine he drinks and he finds out that it's too late, then his available time can't be retroactively affected at all.

Once there is a problem with the drug test, not only is there no hope this time, but it will be recorded in the fire protection file without major changes. Most of the time, you will no longer be a firefighter for most of your life. You can only stare at the system and cannot register for use.

"My name is Nikki, her name is Cindy, and this is Jasmine."

The girls came together immediately.

"Hello."

Luke dealt with it skillfully, while scanning the bar from the corner of his eye, looking for someone he knew.

Soon he found who he was looking for.

at the corner.

A young man was obviously drunk, jumped directly onto the table, started dancing, tore his clothes and tossed them, and made all kinds of crazy wolf attitudes, next to a group of friends who were applauding and booing.

"That's you, Dawson."

Luke smiled slightly, made a random excuse to push away the girls who were rubbing against him, and walked over there with his head down.

Dawson is also an alumnus of Luke, and like Gary and most of the boys at the school, hate Luke very much.

After Luke quietly walked to the place closest to Hot Dance Dawson without attracting other people's attention, Luke thought silently in his heart: "Time pause!"

For a moment, everything around him felt like the pause button was pressed.

"The nasty space-time resistance."

Luke felt much greater resistance than normal, so he couldn't help frowning and ran towards Dawson with all his strength.

When the time paused, the entire time and space thickened, and the resistance that was not felt before was now very clearly exerted on Luke.

It is simply impossible to be as comfortable as Quicksilver and The Flash.

Luke ran to Dawson's side and was very careful not to touch the suspended Dawson's body too much, in case Dawson's body was incoherent in time and space after the timeout ended, causing mistakes and causing unnecessary attention.

After getting Dawson's phone, Luke ran back to the corner where no one was paying attention with all his strength again, posing exactly the same action as before, and then silently said in his heart, "Pause the end time."

Time resumes its flow.

"Be careful."

From Dawson's side came the cries of friends.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Dawson staggered and nearly fell, but quickly stabilized, then yelled, very excited.

Everyone thought he was drinking too much and didn't control his body.

But Luke knew that it was because he had used time pauses too few times. He just took out Dawson's mobile phone and exerted some force on Dawson's body, which was bouncing and stopped in mid-air, which could not be completely offset, resulting in a time-space lag phenomenon.

Luke ignored it, but took Dawson's phone and wrote a text message to Gary.

"I heard that little white face is also going to be a firefighter? If I were you, I would first make sure that he was admitted to the New York Fire Academy, and then I would kill him when he spent a lot of time training for the final exam.

Not only did he fail to become a firefighter at that time, but he also delayed going to college, and he was twice as happy! "

"Vicious enough, I like it."

Soon, Gary's reply came.

After reading it, Luke smiled slightly, deleted the text message, paused the use time again, returned the phone to Dawson, and quietly left the bar.

Misfortune and fortune depend on.

With the system, he is fully capable of turning bad things into good things.
