Chapter 116 An Invitation From the Kenneth Family âNice to meet you, Watchman No. 2, Watchman No. 0!â
His voice was trembling. At the same time, he slowly raised his hand to his head and made a standard military salute Geraldâs heart trembled a bit He was wondering why Harper knew him and helped him. He now understood after hearing Harperâs words.
Carolynâs expression changed slightly She looked at Harper and asked, âAre you a Watchman?â
Harper sighed and said, âI have been retired for about five years till now, and I am now the owner of Splendor Restaurant I donât think youâve heard of me, since Iâm just a nobody I didnât make it to the top 1,000 among the Watchmen.â
âWhy did you retire?â Carolyn asked.
Harper sighed and said, âI was badly wounded in the line of duty I was lucky to come back alive And after that, I found it too much for me, so I stepped down.â
As he spoke, he seemed to be nostalgic âSpeaking of which, when I was still in the group, you were in your prime. Are you on some sort of mission now that youâre in Sacramento?â
Gerald shook his head and said, âNo. We came here by chance. I have a bad reputation in Sacramento. I was wrongly accused of rape I came back this time to do some digging and clear my name Harper was stunned. Then he nodded and said, âI have heard about this. In fact, I am a friend of Leandro He came to me and asked me about this before, but there was no proof âYou need to find proof, right?â Gerald said with a smile.
Harper nodded and said, âIndeed. Watchman No. 0, itâs a pleasure to see you out in the field. Because of the Night Watchâs code, I kept a low profile and didnât want to expose either of you, so I didnât overdo it. Otherwise, I would have made Arnold kneel and apologize to you. Those rich brats just canât behave themselves.â
Gerald waved his hand and said, âIt s fine. Anyway, thanks.â
Harper quickly shook his head and said, âYou have made so many efforts for the world. Donât thank 1. The dishes you ordered will be served immediately And Iâll send you four of our specialty dishes. They are all on the house.
In addition, each of you will receive our Black Gold Membership Cards. You never have to pay when you eat here.â
âYouâre being too generous,â Gerald said politely âDonât mention it,â Harper smiled.
Next to them, Erik was so thrilled that he was about to cry.
Erik thought happily, the membership cards of Splendor Restaurant, to a certain extent, have the same effect as New Bankâs cards. They are perfect for showing off With the Black Gold Membership Card, countless women will be throwing themselves at me I can bring them to Splendor Restaurant to eat for free. Damn! Iâll be surrounded by women!
Sure enough, I have become so lucky after seeing Gerald âEnjoy I still have some things to do, so I will leave nowâ Harper then asked for Gerald and Carolynâs numbers. Then he continued, âWhile youâre in Sacramento, if anything, call me at once Although I am not the richest in Sacramento, my words still mean something among those big families.â
Gerald nodded and said, âThank you.â
Not long after Harper left, the many dishes they ordered were served one after another Carolyn began to eat defiantly, mumbling as she ate, âThese are so good!â
Gerald was always amazed by how much Carolyn could eat. In Night Watch, besides Watchman No. 2, Carolyn was also known as âPiggyâ
The nickname fit her perfectly Carolyn could eat more than a piggy Gerald was smiling during the entire meal. He was satisfied enough to see Carolyn again.
He could trust his life with Carolyn. He could sleep soundly at night as long as she was by his side While Gerald and the other two were eating, at the same time, five people were sitting in a sports car Tyrone was the driver. He sat in the front and drove. He did not dare to say a word.
Koen sat in the passenger seat, looking gloomy Arnold sat in the back seat, swearing in a loud voice, âKoen, why were you fucking afraid of that old bastard? If you hadnât stopped me, Iâd have beaten the shit out of him!â
Koen frowned and said, âYou would have been in serious trouble if I hadnât stopped you. Harper is very low-key, and my grandfather always respects him. You know that old man from the Landon family, right? He was one of the richest in Sacramento. He made a scene in Splendor Restaurant one day, and after a month, the Landon family went bankrupt.
Anyway, Iâm certain Harper isnât a simple man. He has someone backing him up We shouldnât mess with him.â
âFuck!â Arnold cursed. âIâve never been so humiliated in my life!â
Tyrone hurriedly said, âIt was all Geraldâs fault. You have no idea. After Gerald was released, he became very arrogant He provoked Armand and Justin in succession.
âReally? Armand and Justin?â Arnold asked in surprise.
âYes. Gerald was the one who hurt Justinâs hand. And Armand dotes on his sister a lot Gerald raped Bree, so of course, Armand wouldnât let Gerald off the hook,â Tyrone said.
âAwesome!â Arnoldâs expression changed slightly. âLetâs call them over this evening. We have nothing better to do anyway. Letâs come up with a way to mess with Gerald and have fun.â
Koen did not speak. He just blew the bangs on his forehead.
Under Gerald and Erikâs shocked eyes, Carolyn ate almost all the dishes on the table. Then she licked her lips, looking like she still wanted more.
âYou belly.
have a great appetite.â Gerald was stunned. He couldnât help but reach out and feel her Carolynâs stomach was still so flat without a trace of flab. Gerald said confusedly, âI donât get it Where did all the food you ate go?â
Carolyn was used to Geraldâs reaction. She said with satisfaction, âThe food here is great. I guess.
Iâll be a regular here. I donât have to pay anyway After that, she looked at Gerald and said, âFind some time and send Erik to Night Watch for training. Try to get him to catch up with us as soon as possible. At least he shouldnât be a drag. Now that Terry has left us, after revenge, we still need to go back and make the team complete.â
Gerald nodded and said, âOK. Arrange for a time tomorrow. Iâll let Dennis pick him up.â
Carolyn nodded. âAlright. Iâll take him back and tell him what to do. Also, after I get back, I wonât be seeing you often. Letâs contact via Line messages and phone calls.â
Gerald said, âSure.â
Gerald, Carolyn, and Erik took the Black Gold Membership Cards, walked out of Splendor Restaurant, and took taxis to leave.
In the taxi, Erik looked at Carolyn and asked, âMaster, why didnât you tell him the truth?â
Carolyn let out a breath. âIâm glad enough just to see him. I can handle it. Remember that you are not allowed to tell him anything.â
Erik pursed his lips and did not say anything else.
Meanwhile, Gerald went to an Internet café to play games for the whole afternoon. It was only at six oâclock that he took a taxi leisurely and went back.
When he arrived at the entrance of the community, he got out of the car. Suddenly, he heard two car horns.
At the same time, a voice sounded, âGerald!â
Gerald turned around and saw a black car parked not far away. Then the car door was opened. A man in his thirties in a suit with greasy hair came out of the car.
Geraldâs expression changed slightly when he saw the man.
The man was quite handsome. If one took a closer look, one would find that the man looked like Ricky a lot.
The man was Cole, the first successor of the third generation of the Kenneth family.
Cole walked up to Gerald with a face full of disdain. He sized Gerald up and said, âTsk, tsk. If that thing hadnât happened back then, you wouldnât have been so miserable right now. Well, I guess. your dad is rather capable. After all, he managed to become the vice president of Universe Group and even had enough money for you to take a taxi.â
Gerald glanced at Cole.
Cole chuckled. âYou havenât eaten yet, right? My dad and Stephen want to treat you to dinner. Personally, people like you are not qualified to sit with us. However, I canât disobey my dadâs order.â
âNot interested.â Gerald curled his lips and turned to leave.
âBut Mason is already on his way. Youâll put me in a quandary if you donât show up.â Cole spread his hands.
