Chapter 170 Oh, My English Is Bad

After saying goodbye to the two beautiful girls, Elsa and Luke waited for a cab outside Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Elsa teased him. “It seems you’ve found someone on this Paris trip. That bubbly girl suits you very well.”

Luke smiled. “Dream on. We had a nice chat on the plane, but that’s it.”

Elsa was amused. “Whatever you say. Let’s report to the police department first. The rest of the time is all yours.”

At that moment, a cab arrived, and a man in glasses staggered out and threw up in a dustbin.

Elsa and Luke didn’t think anything of it. Carsickness wasn’t unusual.

But they took a whiff of the cab when they got in. There was the vague smell of vomit, but they couldn’t find any traces of it.

The driver was a man with short hair. He turned his head and asked earnestly, “Are you in a hurry?”

Looking at the man, who had a scar over his left eye, and recalling the carsick passenger who had just gotten out, Elsa and Luke both felt a strange sense of deja vu.

Both of them said, “No, please drive at a normal speed.”

The driver shrugged regretfully. “Oh, what a shame.”

The corner of Luke’s eye twitched. “A cab driver I met in New York once asked me a similar question.”

The driver had already started the car. He grinned and asked, “Hm? Then what?”

Luke said, “Then, I could barely stand when I got out of the cab after I arrived.”

Elsa remarked, “You were better than me. I threw up.”

Stunned for a moment, the driver burst into laughter. “Haha. That must have been fun.”

Looking at the cab driver’s back, Luke suddenly asked, “Your license plates can be switched out, can’t they?”

The driver laughed. “What are you talking about? My English is bad. I can’t understand you.”

Luke rolled his eyes. “I don’t care if you can understand me, but I’m telling you this: no speeding, because we won’t pay any extra money. Even if it can fly like a plane, just keep your cab at eighty miles an hour.”

After a brief silence, the driver argued meekly, “But the speed limit on this road is a hundred miles…”

Luke was lost for words. “If so, just drive at the lowest speed allowed.”

The driver cackled, and felt like he had somehow been seen through.

After being a police officer for a long time, Luke could easily tell how unique some people were. For example, this cab driver had a similar vibe to Bell.

After giving the driver advanced warning, Luke looked into the rearview mirror and saw Kim and Amanda. They were talking merrily and taking a photo at the cab stop.

Then, a decent-looking young guy volunteered to take a photo for them with a smile. They then started chatting with each other.

When Luke’s cab left, Amanda, Kim and the guy were still talking.

Luke wasn’t bothered, since Amanda was clearly happy to talk to anyone.

Well, anyone who wasn’t ugly.

The more handsome the guy she chatted with, the happier she was.

When the cab entered the downtown area, Elsa suddenly asked, “Should we stay at the same hotel?”

Luke thought for a moment and said, “We should split up since we’re here for fun. I don’t want to be a third wheel.”

Elsa said with relief, “Put me down in front. I’ll walk. I’ll send you a text message after I check in.”

It would be awkward for her to go out and have fun if Luke was with her.

If Luke wasn’t with her, she would just be a regular person. Nobody would know that she was a police officer.

The driver silently stopped the car hundreds of meters in the front.

Luke said, “Give me your card.”

The driver said, “Huh? I can’t understand

you.”

Luke said, “Do you want me to call the police officer over there?”

Noticing the disdain on the man’s face, Luke realized after a moment’s thought that the man wasn’t scared of the police.

He tossed what looked like a yo-yo into the driver’s seat. It flew around the driver’s hands and tied them together.

Luke said with a smile, “Tell me, can you get away if I ask the police officer to check your driver’s license?”

The driver struggled for a moment, then said, “Fine, I give in. I’ll give you my card.”

Luke chuckled. “Okay, Daniel. I’m sure a good driver like you must be famous in Paris.”

System: You have defeated Daniel and received a list of his abilities.

Daniel’s abilities: Elementary Driving…

The man’s face changed. “You know me?”

Luke chuckled and retrieved the yo-yo. He then patted Daniel’s shoulder and said, “This is my tip for you.”

Daniel smiled when he heard the pleasant sound of money. He accepted the hundred dollars.

It was too little as cab fare, but rather generous as a tip.

A moment later, Elsa left with a card and said goodbye to Luke.

Looking at Elsa, who was already wandering the streets of Paris, Luke said, “Daniel, give me your card, too.”

After a brief hesitation, Daniel gave him another card. “I’ll charge more if you call for my cab.”

Luke asked, “How much do you charge?”

Daniel rolled his eyes and said, “Five hundred euros each time, separate from the cab fare.”

Luke nodded his head and said, “Okay, that sounds fair.”

Daniel was lost for words. “Huh?” He had intentionally proposed an outrageous price, but the passenger thought that it was fair? Had he run into an idiot?

But recalling how Luke had tied his hands up just now, he immediately dismissed that notion.

Ten minutes later, Luke was wandering around the streets of Paris in a relaxed manner, observing the city as if it were a cornfield.

Paris was famous for its beauty, but not many people knew that it was also a city with a high crime rate. This was an unavoidable problem in any metropolis.

Petty theft and larceny happened everywhere, and they couldn’t escape Luke’s Sharp Nose.

If a man was carrying a couple of wallets that had different smells, it was highly unlikely that his friends had given him their wallets to buy dinner for them, right?

Walking along casually, Luke kicked a random pebble at a thief who had just discreetly fished out a purse. The thief cried out in pain, and the purse in his hand slipped back into the pocket of the completely clueless girl whom he had just pickpocketed.
