Phineas was stumped for a long moment before he exclaimed, "What did you say?"
He then hurriedly asked, "Can you really save my daughter?"
Luke nodded with a smile. "Yes. Also, whether you agree or not, Cook won't come after you."
Phineas hesitated.
After asking for the details, he found out that the man wanted him to work as a lab researcher for him. After thinking for two minutes, he agreed.
For one thing, that was his old line of work.
Secondly, even if the other party didn't have any proof, as long as he told the Soderbergs that Phineas was suspicious, he and his daughter wouldn't be able to escape.
Cook was the son of the mayor, while the father and daughter were on the bottom rung of society, and didn't have the power to protect themselves.
It wasn't unusual for bigshots to kill indiscriminately in pursuit of their enemy. In any case, it didn't matter if they killed the wrong person.
