Chapter 268 Something We Donât Know As Gerald released his power, the entire room fell silent. Everyone looked at Gerald in shock.
âSuper level!â
âYouâre actually at the super level!â
âHowâs that possible!â
All sorts of voices rushed into Geraldâs ears at this moment.
Gerald smiled. He looked at Dylan indifferently and said, âLetâs fight? Letâs see how many of your grandsons and sons can survive today.â
Dylan narrowed his eyes and looked at Gerald from head to toe. He gradually withdrew his power and sat down with a gloomy expression.
Gerald also put away his power and sat down beside Jessica.
Jessica was a little confused. She didnât know what the thing they were talking about meant, but she could see that Gerald had shown amazing power and shocked all the people in the Thornton family.
The first time she met Gerald was because she was framed for selling fake paintings in Los Angeles.
At that time, an antique shop owner looked down upon Gerald and thought he was a porter.
But now, Gerald had single-handedly made the Thornton family, one of the largest families in Washington, feel helpless and fearful. The huge shift in his status gave mixed feelings.
her âKid, who the hell are you?â Dylan looked at Gerald and asked with a burning gaze. âItâs impossible for you to reach the super level so quickly just relying on the years in prison.â
âLetâs not make this about me. You invited us here today to negotiate. This is your turf. Now Iâm here, donât try to threaten me. If you want to talk, letâs talk. Jessica has said what she wants. Eight billion dollars. If itâs negotiable for you, letâs negotiate. If itâs not, then forget it. Then they will decide what to do with the lode, and youâll just wait for the dividends,â Gerald said calmly.
âEight billion dollars? Impossible!â Edric gritted his teeth and said, âAlthough the lode is worth a lot, there is no way to figure out the exact number of its worth. It is hard to say whether it is worth 8 billion dollars or not. Donât be greedy.â
Gerald shrugged and said, âSo itâs not negotiable, right? Then we donât have a deal!â
After that, he looked at Jessica and said, âAlright, then letâs have the lode to ourselves. And Cale will have 20 percent of the shares, and weâll just give him the dividends he deserves.â
Jessica nodded. âSure!â
âYou!â Jared gritted his teeth and said, âGerald, you are going too far. The Goldsun Group is funded by the Thornton family!â
Gerald didnât want to waste time arguing with him. He looked at them and said, âLetâs move on from this matter. I have something else to discuss with you.â
Everyone looked at Gerald. They didnât know what Gerald was up to.
Gerald touched his nose and said with a smile, âI heard that the Thornton family has three Dragon Bones?â
Dylanâs expression changed, and he said in his old voice, âWho told you that?â
âThis is not important,â Gerald said. âCan we trade three Dragon Bones? Iâll give you something else in exchange!â
Dylan looked at Gerald with a half-smile and said, âDragon Bones? So, the bones you absorbed are Dragon Bones?â
Gerald did not deny it and nodded.
Dylan looked gloomy for a while. After a moment, he said, âLike it is possible.â
âWell, I know it is unlikely. Then thatâs all.â Gerald waved his hand and said, âLetâs go!â
With that, he stood up.
Beside him, Jessica also stood up.
âStop!â When Edric saw that Gerald and Jessica were really leaving, he hurriedly growled!
âWhy?â Gerald asked, âIf we donât accept your offer, youâre not going to let us leave?â
âLet them go!â Dylan said.
Edricâs expression changed a few times, but he did not refute it. Gerald sneered and walked out with Jessica.
Outside the door, Gerald noticed that Dave and Riley were standing not far away and looking expectantly at this small building.
When he saw Gerald and Jessica walk out safely, Dave was stunned. He looked at Gerald and Jessica in shock, having no idea what was going on.
In Daveâs opinion, even if Jessica was willing to sign this contract, it was impossible for Gerald to walk out safely. After all, they had closed the door, which meant they were taking action against Gerald. Dave knew this.
Gerald and Jessica saw Dave and Riley. When they walked past the two men, Gerald smiled at Dave.
Dave was about to explode with anger. When Gerald and Jessica were far from him, Dave gritted his teeth and rushed to the small building and asked, âGreat-grandfather, grandfather, what is going on? Why did Gerald leave safe and sound?â
âHe is at the super level!â Jared said indifferently.
Daveâs jaw almost dropped to the ground.
âHe is at the super level? For sure? How... How is that possible? He looks so young!â Dave asked, âIs there something we donât know?â
Jared looked at him indifferently, then looked at Dylan and asked, âDad, are we just letting him leave like that?â
Dylan revealed a look of excitement in his eyes. âHe can leave just like that. But we must have this guy. I donât care who he is. He must be ours. He is able to absorb the Dragon Bones!â
âHmm?â Everyone looked at Dylan in confusion.
They couldnât understand Dylanâs words because they werenât at the super level.
Dylan seemed to be talking to himself. âDragon Bone. Dragon Bone! Iâve longed for them for so many years! Finally, I met this guy. I must catch him and exchange blood with him!â
As he said this, he looked at Jared and said, âGo, get Gordon here!â
Jaredâs eyes lit up. He said, âYou are fighting against Gerald together with him?â
Dylan nodded!
Edric sneered, âIf you two join hands, no matter how powerful Gerald is, he wonât stand a chance. When Jessica loses Gerald, who has her back, she will have to give the Goldsun Company to us.â
Gerald and Jessica walked out of the Thornton familyâs courtyard. They drove towards the Maddox family again. In the car, Gerald smiled at Jessica and said, âIf the Thornton family asks to talk with you again, just turn them down and start mining directly!â
Jessica frowned and said, âBut words are easy. After I return to Sacramento, you will not be with us. If the Thornton family does anything to me, I do not...â
Gerald smiled at her and said, âDonât worry. They wonât do anything to you.â
He added in his heart, the Thornton family ... is going to decline!
The Thornton family had such a high position in Washington mainly because most people were not sure whether Dylan was dead. In addition, the Thornton family had a terrifying amount of wealth.
However, everyone was waiting for its fall!
When Dylan died, the Thornton family would also be finished. At that time, when the news of Dylanâs death went out, the Thornton family would be in a panic.
Hearing Geraldâs confident words, Jessica felt very secure for some reason.
She turned to look at Gerald, her heart pounding. Then she quickly turned her head and said in her heart, Jessica, oh Jessica, it seems that you have really been lonely for too long. Such a young man who is more than ten years younger than you actually made your heart beat faster.
The car moved slowly, and soon, they stopped at the door of Ingridâs home.
They knocked on the door, and Ingrid came over and opened the door for them. However, Ingrid looked glum.
âWhatâs wrong?â Seeing her like this, Gerald asked.
âLeo is here,â Ingrid said with an unhappy expression. âHe brought his family here to propose marriage.â
Gerald was stunned for a moment and said, âPropose marriage? This is too soon. Arenât you still a college student?â
âFuck!â Ingrid did not answer Geraldâs words. She stomped her feet and seemed to be extremely angry.
