Chapter 446 You Will Get Used to It

Hearing her mention the purple lotus, Gerald could not help but look at the purple lotus on Gilda’s arm.

Gilda had the tattoo for many years, but it looked brand new.

“When Blood Lotus was established, there were only seven people, and I’m one of them, all at only the

top level,” Gilda said, “We were in the secret city at that time, and even now neither Night Watch nor

other organizations know of our existence. Normally, we don’t butt in on Blood Lotus’ business.”

Gerald had a gleam in his eyes.

“Later, Blood Lotus grew stronger. We put a man in charge of it, and the head listened to us most of the

time. Of course, the seven of us gradually walked away and let him make his own decision,” Gilda said

calmly, “Later, they found out that we were willing to submit and cooperate with them. Then they came

and contacted us!”

At this point, Gilda looked at Gerald and continued, “You have dealt with them, especially in the battle

on Brightjoy Peak. But you still need to be careful. The real war is much crueler than that. What you

have seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg. When we first established Blood Lotus, the tattoo was a

red lotus. They told us that the highest authority belonged to anyone with a purple one. That was why

we changed the color!”

Gerald looked a bit grave at the news.

“Do you mean that the color of their tattoos is the same as yours?” Gerald asked.

Gilda nodded and said, “Yes. Up until now, there has never been anything above gold, right? Now you

know how terrifying they are. Everything that Blood Lotus has done is indeed a submission, but they

don’t share our ideal. Our submission is also to keep the seed.”

Finally, she looked up and said, “We are looking for talented people. Our submission is temporary. We

want to develop our forces, and our goal remains unchanged. We will keep our heads down and

counterattack until the time comes!”

Gilda looked at Gerald and added, “Night Watch intends to fight directly. I believe most people in the

world have a backbone. So when Watchmen are stronger enough, our submission plan naturally

becomes unacceptable to them. They are very suppressing us brutally.”

“Suppress?” Gerald asked indifferently, “Watchmen on your side have degenerated into assassins.

They voluntarily get their hands dirty. How can you blame us?”

Gilda said, “Alas! The other six founders and I also have different ideas. Some did everything they

could to develop their power. Unfortunately, in the end, they became the authority in Blood Lotus. Later,

I quit giving advice. However, over the years, I have seen very few truly talented recruits.”

She paused, looked at Gerald again, and said, “So I’m asking you to join us, the original Blood Lotus,

not them. We’re pretending to submit and biding out time. You’re the start I’ve been looking for.”

Hearing this, Gerald waved his hand and said, “Now that you are done, let me make this clear! No way!

“I won’t get in your way, and nor will I bow to them like you,” Gerald said faintly, “I do not know how

many people behind me will kneel in fear, but I will never be one of them.”

He looked at Gilda and warned, “You will get used to it if you bow to them for long!”

When Gilda heard this, she trembled slightly and asked, “What if I tell you that I will not let the two girls

leave unless you join us?”

Gerald raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Try me.”

“Boy, I acknowledge that you are at the super level, very talented, but there are higher levels above

that.” Gilda shook her head and continued, “The Sun List doesn’t include all the levels…”

“Do you know Jordan?” Gerald asked, “Who is stronger between you and Jordan?”

Gilda frowned and replied, “He is the strongest among the seven founders.”

“I killed him,” Gerald said lightly, “with a saber in Sin City.”

Gilda’s expression changed slightly. Then she said with a sneer, “Although I am old, as one of the

seven founders, I’m stronger than him.”

“Oh, at that time, Dax, Alan, and Adam helped him fight me. Only Dax survived. He was caught and

sent back to Night Watch,” Gerald said with a smile.

Red Rose was stunned.

Gilda sneered and said, “Boy, how long have you been at the super level? You alone beat the four men

on the Sun List? You must be bragging.”

“Don’t believe me then!” Gerald pursed his lips and said, “You asked to talk to me, and I’ve heard you

out. Now, you can tell me where they are.”

Beside them, Red Rose frowned and said, “Gilda, I’m afraid what he said is true. And Franklin is

now in his hands.”

Gilda sighed and said, “Okay, but Gerald, are you sure about rejecting my idea? Perrin works with

Blood Lotus because…”

Gerald interrupted her. “Drop it. Your people have done so many evil things. Over all these years,

countless families have been torn apart because of you. In my eyes, you bunch of devils need to be

eradicated. Even if the original Blood Lotus is like what you said, I will not join. I hate bowing to

others. Whatever you say, the organization is rotten to the core!”

Gerald said indifferently, “In addition, Perrin will be gone soon!”

Then he said impatiently, “Alright, don’t waste my time. Let them go!”

Gerald cast a cold gaze at Red Rose.

Red Rose sighed and said, “Gilda, let them go!”

Gilda let out a sigh. She seemed to have figured something out, smiled, and said, “Alright. That’s all I

wanted to tell you. Gerald, again, you’re the star I’ve been looking for. You’re our hope. The war is

coming. When the war breaks out and you find yourself desperate, come to me. I will save you…”

“It’s not gonna happen. If I can’t resist, I will only die on the battlefield.” Gerald waved his hand.

Gilda sighed, then stood up and said, “Rose, take him to the girls!”

Red Rose stood up and walked to Gerald. She took Gerald’s hand and said, “Let’s go. I will take you to

your sweethearts!”

Gerald gave her a dirty look. He stood up and then something came to mind. He suddenly turned to

look at Gilda and asked, “You said Blood Lotus has seven founders. How many are still alive now?”

Gilda shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I haven’t contacted those old friends for a long time. I

show up in the organization once in a while. Maybe I’m the only one alive, or maybe all the founders

are. Who knows?”

Gerald chuckled and didn’t ask further.

He left the house with Red Rose. Then he frowned and asked, “Where are they now?”

“In this neighborhood, but in another house!” Red Rose asked, “But then again, do you really hold

Franklin captive?”

Gerald nodded and followed her to another house. He said, “Speaking of which, I have a question for

you.”

“Go on,” Red Rose said.

“Why did you want me to work with you?” Gerald asked calmly.
