Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 312 Let Me Think

Today Derick invited Gerald to dinner.

There were two reasons. One was that Gerald had saved Leana. Derick had never had the opportunity

to thank Gerald.

The other was because of Kadin.

Ethan and Gerald had a conflict. Knowing this, Kadin wanted Ethan to apologize to Gerald. However,

he could not contact Gerald. Besides, Ethan was somewhat unwilling.

Therefore, he asked Derick for help.

Ethan ranked fourth on the Sun List.

He lived in an ordinary city. He was close to Night Watch. It was said that when he was young, he

was often on missions with Watchmen.

They made an appointment tonight at Leana’s house.

They left the house and drove towards the Jackson’s house.

They arrived at around half past six in the evening.

After getting out of the car, they knocked on the door!

Soon, Leana ran over. She opened the door with a happy face. When she saw Valery beside Gerald,

the smile on her face slightly froze for a moment. Then, she said with a smile, “Please come in!”

The Jackson’s house was a villa with three floors, not as big as the Thornton’s place or Abraham’s

house. There were only two servants.

When Gerald arrived at the hall, he found Derick sitting on the sofa. There was music coming from

the phone.

Derick looked at the phone and smiled.

He made no response to the arrival of Gerald and Valery. Gerald walked to his back. Derick was

browsing Tik Tok. It was a video of a beautiful woman dancing.

Tik Tok is intruding into everyone’s life! Gerald sighed in his heart.

Then he coughed.

Derick raised his head and found that Gerald was looking at him strangely. He quickly put away phone

and said with a dry cough, “Welcome!”

his

He looked at Gerald and said, “You look good! It seems that you have recovered. It has only been half

a month. You do have a strong body!”

Gerald exhaled and noticed that Leana and the two servants were busy in the kitchen. He said, “Mr.

Jackson, may I ask something?”

Derick pondered for a moment and said, “Yes. Follow me to the study room!”

Leana also followed. She was a little worried about Gerald.

After arriving at the study room, Derick gestured to Gerald and others to sit down and asked, “What’s

wrong?”

Gerald pondered for a moment and said, “Mr. Jackson, you must know my problem.”

Derick nodded and said, “Yes. I could feel it the moment I saw you. You are physically well, but

there seems to be no Vital Energy in your body.”

Gerald nodded and said, “Yes, when I faced Dylan and Gordon, I used Death Storm, but I still couldn’t

beat them. Then I absorbed three Dragon Bones, which made me able to kill Dylan and seriously injure

Gordon. Later, I was saved. Now I have recovered, but I can’t feel my Vital Energy at

all. You are experienced, are you…”

“What is Death Storm?” At this time, Leana suddenly asked.

Derick looked up at Leana and said, “You get out. You can’t know this!”

This matter involved some deep secrets of Night Watch. Although Leana knew about Night Watch and

had always wanted to be a Watchman, she did not know that Derick was in control of Night

Watch’s Dark Net.

Derick did not want her to be part of this. Thus, he asked her out.

Leana muttered, but still obediently walked out.

When Leana walked out, Derick sighed and said, “Gerald, Death Storm cannot be often used. When

you reach the super level, the aftereffects of Death Storm are too great. In fact, it is a miracle that

you can survive!”

Gerald knew this. Many Watchmen died of Death Storm in desperate situations.

“So, what’s wrong with me?” Gerald asked.

Derick walked to Gerald’s side and looked at him. “You’re exhausted!

“I heard from Blaine that you used Death Surge more than once on missions. Death Storm will

exhaust you. You could survive because you’re strong enough. That’s why you can recover, But this

time, after Death Storm, you absorbed three Dragon Bones! You got drained again! In fact, no one

could absorb Dragon Bone as fast as you when one reaches the super level. It usually took several

years to absorb one piece!

“You absorbed three pieces in one go. Your body is overburdened!”

Gerald’s expression became a little strange.

“What’s wrong?” Derick looked at Gerald’s expression and asked with a frown.

“Is it difficult to absorb the bones?” Gerald asked.

Derick nodded and said, “Of course! You know the energy contained in those bones. After

absorbing it, you have to digest the energy. It takes time!”

Gerald scratched his head and said, “But… before I absorbed these three bones, I’ve absorbed four

successfully. It’s quite smooth.”

When Derick heard Gerald’s words, his whole face suddenly became dull. He looked at Gerald and

said, “You mean… besides these three bones, you’ve absorbed a total of seven bones? And they are

all absorbed at once?”

“Yes. I thought everyone was the same. You absorb them when you find them,” Gerald said blankly.

Derick looked at Gerald in shock. Then, he couldn’t help but cover his face. He sat down on the chair

and said, “Shut up. Let me think!”

Gerald looked confused. When he entered Night Watch, he broke through rapidly. The way those

people looked at him was exactly the same as the way Derick looked at him now.

After a long time, Derick calmed himself. He didn’t say anything more about absorbing bones. He let

out a sigh and said, “In short, your current situation is probably because you’re exhausted. Your need

to wait until your body recovers.”

Hearing Derick’s words, Gerald and Valery heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what, it was good that he could recover!

Gerald asked, “Then how long will it take?”

“How could I know? Maybe three days, maybe three years!” Derick curled his lips and said.

Gerald frowned. He couldn’t wait for years.

If something happened to Jacob in Sin City, Gerald couldn’t even find their bones after a few years.

“Is there any way to recover quickly?” Gerald asked with a frown.

“No!” Derick said in a bad mood.
