Chapter 1080 Undercurrents Stirring Gerald was still in a deep slumber, his body completely lifeless. It seemed as if his energy was depleting, with only a lingering breath of life remaining.
Valery stayed by Geraldâs side, for two days straight, without a wink of sleep.
During this time, Kristian brought over some food for them, but Valery had no appetite at all. She couldnât eat a single bite, as she was quite worried about Geraldâs condition!
Equally worried was Triston, who, under Get Benim the care of Valeryâs life attribute, had recovered physically within two days.
Having experienced both a battle across levels and a lifeâandâdeath struggle, his strength had somewhat improved after his recovery.
However, Geraldâs situation kept him awake at night!
Gerald was the spiritual pillar of Night Watch, and Triston, previously known as Watchman No. o, considered himself the strongest. However, ever since he started following Gerald and came to Havotune to carry out their mission, Triston developed immense admiration for Gerald, even becoming somewhat dependent on him.
Geraldâs current situation is that heâs hanging by a thread, and could die at any moment. Triston is somewhat unclear about what they should do if something were to happen to Gerald.
Should we go back to the City of Phoenix?
Should we still go and retrieve Ingenious Needles?
He felt that everything in the future, along with Geraldâs fall, was shrouded in a layer of gray.
In the past couple of days, the news of Dragon Boneâs owner, Gerald, appearing on Promise Island has spread throughout the entire island.
?
The owner of Dragon Bone had long been famous throughout Havotune, as well as his identity of Alcoholicâs apprentice.
Havotuneâs adventures in the Underground Paláce, where he and Carolyn piloted the dragon and phoenix statues to battle against the Eight Forces, and his experiences as a supreme peak Flame Decayer before the age of thirty, were all legendary tales.
In fact, during this period, many people were investigating the origins of Gerald and his companions, but no one knew the truth. It was only after their fierce battle with the Four Ancient Families that most people speculated that Gerald and his friends must have been from the City of Phoenix, and had suffered oppression bet bonus from the Four Ancient Families of the City of Phoenix!
Geraldâs experiences were enough to astonish and thrill many people.
The news of his desire to create a city of equality for all spread throughout Havotune, eliciting both hatred and excitement from its inhabitants.
Regrettably, it is the upperâclass people who are resentful, while naturally, it is the lowerâclass people who are excited.
Although Gerald had not reached the eternal level of Flame Decay yet, his experiences since the Underground Palace had already become legendary. His every move was closely watched by many people.
The news of his appearance on Promise Island spread rapidly, reaching the main continent, There was no way around it. When Gerald and Nolan fought, many people saw it. Geraldâs group didnât completely wipe out Micahâs men, and there were quite a few people in the base who noticed it as well.
Many people from the outside world were speculating about the reason behind Geraldâs arrival at Promise Island.
Some people speculated that Gerald might be searching for something, while others guessed that Gerald might have come to Promise Island to seek a way to break through the eternal level of Flame Decay.
After all, everyone knows about the threeâyear agreement between Alcoholic and the Eight Forces!
In any case, for whatever reason, news about Gerald had leaked out on this side, and the reactions from various parties were quite different. The Eight Forces each issued their own orders, but as for the content of those orders, no one knew.
The undercurrents on Promise Island had nothing to do with Gerald. Over the past two days, he had been lying in bed, motionless, showing no signs of recovery.
On this day, Valery carefully wiped Geraldâs body as usual, and then injected some nutrient solution into him, ensuring that Geraldâs nutritional needs were met.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door of their residence. Triston went to open it, and Anabel walked in with two others.
Glancing at Gerald, Anabei frowned and asked, âStill no signs of recovery?â
âNo!â Valery said, âHeâs still like this. I wonder how long it will take to recover.â
Anabel sighed and said, âAfter all, the opponent is Eternal Flame Decayer. Itâs still too much of a stretch for Gerald to handle.â
After speaking, she looked at the somewhat haggard Valery and said, âValery, you havenât slept for more than two days. You should get some rest now.
Weâll take good care of Gerald here.â
Valery bit her lip and said, âIâm fine.â
Anabel, Sylvie, and the others were momentarily stunned. Then, Anabel turned her gaze towards Kristian!
A hint of embarrassment flickered across Kristianâs face.
Is there anything else you need?â Valery asked.
Kristian nodded and said, âYes! Elder Pierce mentioned... he would like to have a chat with you all. Itâs about the search for Ingenious Needles.â
Valery nodded and said, âTriston, Hector, you two go and talk to Mr. Pierce.â.
Triston nodded, then looked at Valery and said, âAlright.â
At this moment, Sylvie said, âYou guys go ahead, Iâll stay with Valery.â Anabel nodded.
After they left, Sylvie looked at Valery and smiled slightly, saying, âValery, do you believe me?â
Valery looked at her in puzzlement and asked, âI donât understand what you mean.
âIf you believe me, then go take a break,â Sylvie said. âI did a divination for Gerald, and the result indicates that he will make a miraculous recovery.â
âI donât believe in these mystical things,â Valery shook her head.
Sylvie laughed and said, âMy attribute is divination, which simply means I can see glimpses of the future. My divination is Chanot considered mysticism.â
Get Alerts âHmm?â Valery paused and asked, âDivination attribute?â
âYes, so the reason you saw me killing those people in a bizarre way that day was because I was able to predict their every move. It seemed as if they were running into my attacks,â Sylvie said. âI also saw that Gerald had a chance to survive and make a miraculous recovery.â
âReally?â Valery asked, her face showing a hint of excitement.
Sylvie nodded and said, âReally, so you can rest assured and go get some rest.
You donât want Gerald to wake up and see you looking completely exhausted, do you?â
Valery hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, âAlright! Iâll take a short nap, then. Can you please watch over Gerald for a while?â
She walked over to the bed in the room and lay down, while Sylvie turned her head to look at Gerald, her eyebrows furrowed.
She murmured, âI... actually canât see your future, nor do I know your situation. All I know is that if it were you, you probably wouldnât want to see your wife so exhausted.â
âYouâll wake up, right?â Sylvie said, âBecause of you, my attribute has probably been exposed. You have to regain consciousness, reach the eternal level of Flame Decay, and protect me!â
As Sylvie was persuading Valery to take a break, on the other side, within a certain room.
Triston and Hector were sitting there, and across from them, Dante was holding a cup of a coffeeâlike beverage, grinning at the two of them.
âMr. Pierce, please feel free to speak your mind,â Triston said.
âToday, Iâve called you all here to mainly discuss the matter of searching for the Ingenious Needles,â Dante said. âAs you can see, Geraldâs condition is quite serious. We donât know when heâll regain consciousness, or even if heâll be able to wake up at all.â
Triston frowned and said, âMr. Pierce, I donât quite like what youâre saying. Gerald will definitely come to his senses.â
âAll right!â Dante said, âI came to you guys to suggest that we start looking for Ingenious Needles sooner rather than later, preferably in the near future. Of course, I think the distribution of Ingenious Needles needs to be changed!â
Triston and Hectorâs pupils shrank almost simultaneously!
Nearby, Kristian and Sylvieâs brows furrowed.
âWhat kind of changes?â Tristonâs voice became somewhat chilly.
Dante didnât seem angry. He calmly said, âItâs still a four to six split, but we, the Archaic Tribe, will take 60%, and you guys will get 40%.â
