Chapter 185 Why Am I So Unlucky?
Gerald didnât know how the bone got into his body.
When he first touched the bone, he felt that it wanted to get into his body. But he was resistant back then. After all, he needed this bone to save Audrey.
Just now, when Gerald held the bone in his hand, the same feeling came to him again.
Seeing that Shadow approached them and tried to snatch the bone, Gerald gave up the resistance and let it in.
The next second, he felt the bone squeeze into his body and melt inside. Instantly, he felt his blood burning.
Geraldâs Vital Energy surged. His Vital Energy, which had not been improved for a long time, seemed to have achieved a significant leap within a second.
Geraldâs attack caught Shadow off guard. Shadow didnât even have a chance to fight back and flew out.
Audrey stared at Gerald and was completely stunned.
She knew that Gerald was a mysterious man. She had always been curious about Geraldâs real identity and the âNight Watchâ
Gerald had mentioned before.
Audrey had Googled it and searched for all kinds of information, but she didnât have any results.
Yesterday, she was kidnapped by Shadow and Franklin. It was not until then that she came into contact with the people in the underworld for the first time.
Just now, Gerald showed his extraordinary ability in front of her.
Audrey finally understood why her father would be so respectful to Gerald. She finally understood why Gerald would have the Diamond Card, which meant that the holder had the highest level in New Bank.
Just like Shadow and Franklin who kidnapped her yesterday, Gerald was not ordinary either.
âWho are you!â Franklin could not sit still anymore. He suddenly stood up.
The Vital Energy that Gerald had just shown made Franklin feel terror.
âAre you Triston?â Franklin exclaimed, âNo! Triston doesnât have such powerful strength. Are you the mysterious Watchman No.
1?â
Gerald didnât answer him. He dashed straight at Franklin as quick as a bullet. At the same time, he shouted, âI thought you would be a coward, Franklin. I didnât expect you to take the initiative to come out. Itâs time for you to pay for what you did to Terry!â
When Franklin heard this, his expression changed drastically. He exclaimed, âYou are Watchman No. o! You are Gerald Kenneth!â
Yes, he had just heard what Audrey called Gerald.
Franklin knew that Watchman No. 0 was also named Gerald, but he didnât associate Gerald with the former Watchman No. 0.
There were too many Gerald guys in this world.
Moreover, Geraldâs disguise was too good to be seen through. He climbed up just like a normal person, panting and sweating.
And when he saw them, his eyes were filled with fear.
Who would have thought that Watchman No. 0, the Slaughterer who had been so famous that trembled the underworld with fear, would actually be so despicable to launch a sneak attack?
Thinking of Geraldâs real identity, Franklin felt his blood freeze.
Franklin had been hiding all these years and barely showed up, just because of what Gerald had once said.
Gerald had said that he would personally kill Franklin.
Three years ago, Franklin and the Dempsey family joined together and tried to kill Gerald, Carolyn, and Terry in Los Angeles.
Franklin even used the iron box as bait to attract the Night Watch.
But in the end, only Terry died in that battle.
Gerald disappeared. They didnât find Geraldâs body.
In the next three years, they never heard from Gerald ever again.
The Night Watch completely suppressed Geraldâs information when Gerald came back. All the Blood Lotus members who knew Geraldâs real identity, except for Red Rose, all died.
Franklin thought that he was safe and could come out again.
Franklinâs grandson was killed in Los Angeles, and Franklin couldnât even find his body. In order to take the bone in Bradleyâs hand, he brought Shadow with him to Los Angeles personally.
But now, he met Gerald.
Why am I so unlucky?
Why am I so unlucky!
Out of fear, Franklin didnât have the courage to fight back at all, even if Gerald didnât carry any weapon with him now. Franklin only had one thought in his mind, which was to run as far as possible and hide! Franklin would never show up easily again.
Franklin quickly retreated.
But how could Gerald let him go? Suddenly, a figure rushed into the temple from outside. It was Shadow who had been punched out by Gerald just now.
Shadow rushed in again. Even though he was seriously injured, he still didnât escape, as if Franklin was more important than his life.
Shadow didnât charge at Gerald but headed straight for Audrey.
He wanted to take Audrey down first!
âYouâre courting death.â Gerald snorted coldly. He stopped chasing Franklin and turned around. He jumped up and kicked Shadow again.
Bang!
Shadow was kicked out far away, but he did buy Franklin some time to escape.
As the leader of Blood Lotus, Franklin was extremely fast. He was also at the super level. He rushed outside and caught Shadow in the air. Then he quickly ran down the mountain.
Gerald turned around and ran to Audrey, who was obviously in great shock. He then wrapped his arm around Audreyâs waist and picked her up, dashing out of the temple.
Gerald had been waiting for Franklin to show up again for so many years. There was no reason for him to let Franklin escape this time.
Just as Gerald rushed out, he frowned slightly.
âStop him!â Franklinâs voice suddenly rang out in the woods. Gerald immediately sensed that there were many people approaching the temple gradually.
Franklin was still the same.
He was still so careful.
Franklin knew that Bradley had contact with the Night Watch. After he threatened Bradley, he was worried that the Night Watch would come to him. Therefore, he had arranged a lot of people from Blood Lotus in this place. At this time, these people would be greatly helpful for him to stop Gerald.
Gerald frowned. He knew that it was impossible to chase after Franklin when these people got in the way.
âForget it. Let me collect some interest first,â he sighed and put Audrey down.
At the same time, more than twenty men walked out of the woods with daggers in their hands and surrounded Gerald.
Audrey tugged at his sleeve with a look of fear in her eyes.
Gerald turned to look at Audrey and smiled. Then he took off his coat and crouched down. âGet on my back.â
Audrey nodded and hurriedly climbed onto Geraldâs back. Gerald tied Audrey to his waist with the coat and said, âHold onto me tightly. Do not let go no matter what happens. And close your eyes. Do not open your eyes, understand?â
Audrey said, âYes, my eyes are close now.â
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Gerald move. The wind whistled past her ears. And then she heard screams.
âAh!â
âAh!â
âAh!â
Among all these Blood Lotus members, there were two Golden Card Assassins and most of the rest were Red Card Assassins.
There were almost thirty of them, which was quite frightful when they showed up together.
But they couldnât stop Gerald, who had just let a mysterious bone get into his body.
Audrey could hear endless screams around her.
Occasionally, she felt some warm liquid splash on her face, and it smelled like blood. Audrey could guess what it was, and she was still a little scared.
But in her heart, she felt more curious about it.
Audrey wanted to open her eyes to see what was going on around her, but she didnât dare.
She grew up in a peaceful environment and didnât know what the underworld meant at all. She had never seen anyone get killed in front of her either.
Audrey could vaguely guess what Gerald was doing now, so she didnât dare to open her eyes. She could only close her eyes and hold Gerald tightly.
Gradually, the screams around her tailed off. Suddenly, she felt Gerald stop.
âCan... Can I open my eyes now?â she asked.
âNot yet. I will let you know when.â Geraldâs voice rang in her ears.
Then, Audrey felt that Gerald was walking. His speed was not fast, as if he was walking down the mountain.
Half an hour later, Gerald walked out of the woods. Both his clothes and Audreyâs face had specks of blood.
Gerald stopped, untied his coat, and put Audrey down. âDonât open your eyes.â
He put the bloodâstained clothes into the trunk and took out several bottles of water, after which he walked over to Audrey and poured the water onto the tissue paper. Then, he wiped off the blood on Audreyâs face with the wet tissue paper and washed his face as well.
After tidying up, he smiled slightly and said, âYou can open your eyes now.â
Audrey was an ordinary girl. Gerald didnât want her to see such a bloody scene.
Audrey slowly opened her eyes. She saw Gerald first. Gerald was bareâchested, revealing his strong muscles.
She slightly blushed.
âWe are done here. Donât worry. Iâll send you home first.â Gerald smiled and then opened the car door for her.
The next moment, Audrey threw herself into Geraldâs arms. Before Gerald could react, she kissed him.
