Chapter 299: Chapter 299

Chapter 299 News From Sin City At noon, the banquet officially began.

People who came gave money as a gift. It was Leila who was taking notes. Of course, those people couldn’t afford to give much money. Guests with better family conditions would offer one hundred dollars. Those from ordinary families would just give 20 to 30 dollars.

However, Wesley now didn’t care too much.

Gerald sat aside and heard many voices!

“What exactly has Wesley done? He suddenly affords to hold a banquet in this five–star hotel.”

“He owed a lot of money. He was so struggling that he borrowed money from me two days ago.”

“Did he do anything illegal?”

All sorts of discussions were going on!

Behind Gerald and the others, there were also people discussing things.

Someone said gingerly, “Have you heard it? Two days ago, when Wesley came to me, he said that he was moving to Washington with Leila.”

“Moving to Washington?” Someone asked in surprise.

“Yes, I even suspect that Wesley is crazy. Where did he get the money?”

“Wasn’t Raiden arrested?”

“Raiden was arrested, but he didn’t have any money. Every inch of ground in Washington values a lot. Ordinary people cannot afford to live there. I suspect that Wesley has done something.”

“Who cares? As long as he has money, I will borrow some money from him. My daughter is getting married.”

“It’s human nature!” Beside him, Valery muttered and shook her head.

Gerald had long seen through human nature.

After Gerald and Irene got married, he didn’t live so well.

At that time, Gerald understood that in this world, money talked.

If one had money, he would be highly respected. If one was poor, he would be disdained.

Now all of this was just a repeat for him!

Wesley and Leila were constantly entertaining guests. Many people who were unwilling to contact them before took the initiative to toast Wesley!

Wesley was very happy. On this day, he drank until he was dead drunk. Maybe it was because he was relieved, or maybe his relatives and friends contacted him.

The banquet was held in the daytime. At night, all guests rested in booked rooms in a hot spring hotel. Valery paid all the expenses. So, they could soak in the hot spring or do something else.

Gerald saw the smile on Wesley’s and Leila’s faces, which relieved him. After all, he owed them a life.

“Beep...”

At that moment, Valery’s phone rang. Valery took out her headphones and picked up the phone!

The scene was too noisy, and it was impossible to hear clearly without headphones.

Valery spent about five or six minutes on the phone and then frowned. After hanging up, she looked at Gerald and said, “Let’s go out and talk!”

Gerald knew that there must be a mission or something on Night Watch.

He followed Valery outside of the banquet and found a quiet place to sit down. After sitting down, Gerald asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Two things. One piece of good news and one bad!” Valery said.

“The good news first!” Gerald said.

“Claude and Theo are on their way to Washington. If there are no accidents, they will reach Washington smoothly tonight.”

Valery’s tone was as cold as before.

Gerald was delighted. After being separated from these friends for more than three years, he would soon meet them again.

“What about the bad news?” Gerald continued to ask.

Valery’s face immediately sank, becoming extremely serious.

Gerald’s expression changed slightly. “Did something happen to Theo and the other two?”

“No, there is news from Sin City.” Valery looked at Gerald and said, “It said that Franklin was found in Sin City. He hid there.”

Gerald was stunned. Then, he curled his lips and said, “Isn’t this good news?”

Valery shook her head and continued, “I haven’t finished!”

Gerald’s heart skipped a beat.

“I found he was in the Eastern District part of Sin City. In addition, Jacob and his group disappeared on the first day they arrived in the Eastern District!” Valery muttered, “Watchman No. 2 went to that person. His butler told her where Jacob and his group were missing. Watchman No. 2 then went to the East District to search for them. She also went missing. There was no news at all.”

After Gerald heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Then, he became a little anxious.

“You came out of Sin City. You know the situation in the East District.” Valery sighed and said, “The Eastern District is where the underworld assassins gather. It is extremely chaotic...”

Gerald nodded and said, “I know. Moreover, I have dealt with several forces in the Eastern District before, and they are not so easy to handle. I only hope that they won’t notice that Jacob and I are related!”

Gerald was extremely worried.

If it was just Erik alone, it would be fine. Erik was one of the top five existences on the underworld he had a few killer list. Even in Sin City, as powerful as he was, he could live comfortably. However, weak people with him.

Jacob and Audrey were newcomers.

In this four–man team, Erik was the only one who could take action.

“Don’t worry!” Valery looked at Gerald.

Gerald spread out his hands and said, “It’s useless for me to be anxious in my current situation. How many Watchmen are there in Sin City?”

“I’m not too sure about this, but it definitely won’t be too many,” Valery said.

Gerald let out a breath and said, “With Carolyn around, it will be fine. I hope they can hold on until I recover!”

If Gerald recovered, and there was no news of them, Gerald would have to make a trip there.

The Dempsey family, Blood Lotus, and Dark Phantom were the three main culprits of the battle three years ago.

Now Saul was dead, and only Franklin and the Dempsey family were left.

If Franklin hid, it would be very difficult to find him. Gerald planned to go to Europe alone to find an opportunity after he recovered.

Gerald felt that it was unnecessary to look for evidence. According to Gerald’s estimation, even if he found the evidence, the severity of incidents would be minimized.

The Dempsey family enjoyed high prestige in Night Watch and Europe. It was too difficult to deal with them through decent channels!

No one would be able to bear the responsibility of causing internal strife among Night Watch!

However, it was impossible for Gerald to not take revenge!

And now it seemed that before going to Europe, he needed to make a trip to Sin City.

Of course, the premise was that his body recovered. But no one knew how long it would take.

While they were chatting, in the banquet hall, the banquet continued. Even though Wesley was drunk, he kept drinking.
