Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 224 The New Group

Gerald was lost for words.

Watchmen guarded the underground order. They might have a lot of wealth, but they had suffered a

lot.

Even someone as strong as Gerald was not confident.

For example, in the battle three years ago, if not for a coincidence, he would have died.

“No matter what, you must promise me this,” Derick looked at Gerald and said.

Gerald frowned and said, “Leana has reached the top level at such a young age. If she joined Night

Watch, she would…”

Derick waved his hand and said, “No matter what, you have to promise me this. Otherwise, I’ll have

Blaine tell you.”

Gerald shook his head and smiled, “Blaine is tough. He won’t die. Don’t worry. If there really comes a day

when he will have to rise to the occasion, I will strike ahead of him.”

Derick frowned. He looked at Gerald and sighed, “Blaine is very stubborn. He won’t let you do that.”

“If there is nothing else, I will leave first,” Gerald said.

“Young kid, you and Blaine are quite similar. Both of you speak one thing and mean the other.” Derick did

not dwell on the matter and just said, “I will let you take Saul and Dax’s place. However, I’m afraid that it

will be difficult for you to deal with Dax.”

Dax ranked seventh on the Sun List.

As the traitor of Night Watch and Watchman No. 0, Dax was quite powerful.

Gerald was surprised. “Is Dax also in Washington?”

“Yes, let me tell you this. Blood Lotus is willing to cooperate with Dax because they thought Dax could

get what they wanted, which is in Ingrid’s hands. If Dax gets the essence of the Maddox family, Dax’s

physical strength will soar,” Derick said.

“So the one who wants to deal with the Maddox family is actually Dax?” Derick frowned.

“To be precise, Dax wants to persuade Harland to cooperate with Blood Lotus.” Derick raised his eyes

and said, “In short, our branch in Washington has been looking for traces of the two people.

It’s just that we have not had any clues yet.

“Of course, if they want to attack Ingrid or the Maddox family, they will be exposed sooner or later,”

Derick said.

Gerald touched his chin and asked, “But why would they make a move on Ingrid? Why can’t they attack

Jett or the other members of the Maddox family? Jett always hangs out.”

Derick smiled, “Dax will only land his hands on Jett and Ingrid as they are the only descendants of the

Maddox family. The Maddox family can’t afford to sacrifice them. Jett always stays with a group of

playboys. If they make a move on Jett, they might alert other rich families. There are many powerful

forces in Washington. Even Blood Lotus or Dark Phantom dare to make a rash move.‘

Gerald was speechless. So it seemed that being a playboy would be advantageous.

Derick muttered, “Alright, they have been waiting for a long time. We should call it a day. Regardless of

whether you agree or not, keep my words to your heart. If anything happens to me and Night Watch will

fall into your hands in the future, you have to stop Leana from joining Night

Watch.”

Then he touched his nose and said embarrassingly, “Speaking of which, you really don’t want to be with

Leana?”

“Let’s go out first,” Gerald hurriedly said.

Derick smiled, then nodded. “By the way, if there is any trouble with those ordinary people in

Washington, just come to me. I sort of enjoy high status in Washington, and most families will

respect me.”

Gerald nodded.

They talked for a while and walked out of the banquet hall.

After bidding farewell to Derick and the others, Gerald went to the door, said goodbye to Ingrid and

Eddie, and drove home.

After returning home, Gerald told Carolyn and the others about Derick.

Then he took a bath and went to bed. After all, he was going to work the next day.

While Gerald was asleep, a car was slowly moving forward in Sacramento.

There were four people in the car, and the one driving was Erik.

As he drove, he whistled.

Beside him, Jacob was trembling slightly. No one knew if he was afraid of the fast speed. Anyway, even

his teeth were trembling.

Behind them sat two people, who were Hazel and Audrey.

Hazel was holding Audrey and looked calm.

But Audrey was different. She was continuously vomiting with a bag in her hand.

“Look at you. We just killed two people. What’s to be afraid of?” Erik glanced at Jacob and said, “Ah,

Gerald actually let trash like you join Night Watch and asked you to come out with me to carry out a

mission so quickly.

“But you don’t have to envy me. After all, we are different. I have just joined Night Watch, and I already

rank fifth on the killer list of the underground world. I can be considered famous.” Erik had a hint of pride

on his face as he said, “You guys should get more practice. Damn it, Gerald actually asked you to join

me to carry out the mission so early.”

Just now, Audrey went with Erik to carry out a mission, which was to kill two Blue Card Assassins of

Blood Lotus.

When Audrey, Jacob, and Hazel joined Night Watch, they should train with recruits.

But because it was Gerald who recommended them to Night Watch, the four of them were accepted by

several seniors.

Gerald’s team was short of people now, and Gerald needed to recruit some members. The seniors

wanted Audrey and others to reach the level of the elite team as soon as possible.

Therefore, their training was completely different from ordinary recruits. They were incorporated into

Erik’s team. As a temporary captain, Erik took them out to carry out the task.

Hazel and the others, who had grown up in a peaceful era, had never seen anyone killed.

Hazel was fine. But Audrey and Jacob had only trained for a few days and were directly taken out for

a mission, so when they saw the assassins being killed by Erik with ease, they almost fainted.

Erik looked at the three of them and could not help but sigh. “Ah, there’s great room for

improvement.”

Jacob scolded, “Shit, in terms of seniority, you are the disciple of Watchman No. 2, who is of the same

generation as Gerald. Gerald and I are friends, so you should respect me.”

He and Erik joined Night Watch at the same time, and both of them liked to brag and had a similar

temper.

“Audrey, how about you just quit?” Hazel patted Audrey on the back and said.

Audrey spat, wiped her mouth, and said through her clenched teeth, “No, I must stand beside

Gerald.”

“Oh, dear,” Erik said. “Do you think it’s a drama? You are too cowardly. You were almost scared to pee

when you saw the assassins.”

“Fuck. I stabbed him too. His kidney was pierced by me.” Jacob was unconvinced.

Jacob and Erik bickered as the latter drove forward in the night.

The new four–man group of Night Watch was slowly starting to set sail.
