Chapter 73 News From Watchman No. 2 Looking at the ladyâs expression, Erik curled his lips and said, âMaster, I saw that battle with my own eyes. You were besieged by so many masters, and he was the main target. The pressure he suffered was much greater than yours. If I were not strong back then, Iâm afraid I would not be able to save you. Although you said that he was very fierce, the chance of him escaping is very slim.â
As soon as Erik finished speaking, the lady suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
âI was joking. You like him?â Erik quickly said.
The lady sneered, âIt has nothing to do with you.â
âI really donât want to go to work,â Erik said with a sad face, âWhen you return to Night Watch, you will be super rich. I donât want to work hard.â
âI will go back when I find him,â the lady said in a cold tone.
Erik muttered, âBut when will we find him? If he dies, I will have to work hard to support you for a lifetime. Thatâs suffering.â
The lady sighed and carefully hid the photo close to her. She glanced at Erik and said, âGo to sleep now. You will still have to operate at night. Remember to keep a low profile.â
âI know. If I didnât keep a low profile, I would have beaten that warehouse owner. Damn it, how dare he boss me around? Iâm the fifth greatest killer in the underground! It pissed me off!â
Erik cursed.
The lady ignored him and picked up the two knives on the coffee table.
Erik quickly said, âMaster, when are you going to give me two knives like these? Itâs so awesome to carry them on my back and show them to the crowd. All I am using now are daggers that you got from Blood Lotus!â
âDonât let me repeat it again. Watchmen are low-key. We are not carrying such knives to show off.â The lady frowned and said, âWhen we go back, you can do that at Night Watch.â
After that, she returned to her room and closed the door.
Gerald played games in the internet café for the whole afternoon. When it was almost four oâclock, Jessica called him.
Gerald picked up the phone and said, âHello?â
âHello.â On the other side of the line, Jessica sounded a bit awkward. âGerald, Iâm sorry. We planned to have dinner tonight, but I left Sacramento for a while. I have so many things to do that Iâm afraid I canât spare some time tonight.â
Gerald was stunned for a moment. He had made an appointment with Jessica and her mother three times, but they always stood him up.
However, he didnât care. Gerald smiled and said, âIt doesnât matter. I will stay in Sacramento for a long time. Letâs meet again after you are done with your work!â
âI am very sorry. If you need my help in Sacramento, just call me. I will definitely help you,â Jessica said.
At this time, Gerald heard someone calling Jessicaâs name on the phone.
Gerald smiled and said, âOK, if there is anything you need my help with, please call me. Just go busy with your work.â
Jessica politely apologized again and then hung up the phone.
Gerald did not think much of it and played the game until midnight.
At midnight, he walked out of the Internet cafe and looked up at the dark night sky. He murmured, âI havenât operated so late at night in a long time. I miss it!â
As he spoke, he walked toward a community.
It was not difficult to find Kyrieâs residence. Before Gerald came here, he had already checked Kyrieâs residence. Although Kyrie was in charge of a company in the Kenneth family, he couldnât afford to live in a mansion.
Kyrie lived in a high-end residential area, and his house was a mansion.
Gerald avoided all the cameras and arrived at the door of Kyrieâs house.
However, Gerald said with a frown, âNo one is here?â
Gerald did not hear any breathing sounds in the room, which confused him.
âIt seems that I will have to come here again tomorrow,â
Gerald sighed and left the community.
Kyrieâs residence was by the riverside of Sacramento. Gerald walked by the river. After walking for a while, he suddenly saw something on the beach and narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, he was shocked and hurried to the beach.
After approaching, Gerald saw a large amount of blood on the ground, and a corpse was on the ground.
âHmm?â
Geraldâs expression changed. He was considering whether to call the police.
But the moment he got close, Gerald noticed that there was a lotus tattoo on the back of the manâs hand. He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. The lotus was red.
Red Card Assassin is dead? he thought.
Gerald lowered his head, and his eyes suddenly flashed with joy. He said with ecstasy, âWatchman No. 2 did it!â
Watchman No. 2 was Geraldâs closest comrade-in-arms and best friend in Night Watch. Gerald trusted her the most.
Knowing that she might still be alive, Gerald was very happy. But now he was sure that Watchman No. 2 was indeed alive!
Geraldâs joy was beyond description.
After that, he sighed with relief, took out his phone, and called Valery.
The phone was quickly connected. Valeryâs lazy voice came over and asked, âHey, whatâs wrong?â
âI found Watchman No. 2,â Gerald quickly said.
âWhat?â There was a hint of excitement in Valeryâs voice as she asked, âReally? Where is she now?â
âI didnât see her, but I saw the corpse. Heâs from Blood Lotus.
He was killed by Watchman No. 2,â Gerald said in one breath.
âWe found two corpses last time. Although the killing technique is very similar to Watchman No. 2, it was not done by her. Are you sure that itâs her this time?â Valery asked again.
âYes. Iâm pretty sure,â Gerald said seriously, âIâll send you the location. Send the people from Sacramento to come over and deal with the corpse.â
âAlright!â Valery nodded. âWe have to find her. Got it?â
Gerald licked his lips and said, âI know. I still want to fight side by side with her!â
After hanging up the phone, Gerald took a breath. He looked at the river and said with a slight smile, âItâs good that you are still alive. You donât want to go back because you want to seek revenge. After all, when you return to Night Watch, there will be endless tasks.â
With that, he let out a breath and left.
What Gerald did not notice was that a woman in a red dress was standing a thousand feet away from him by the river. She looked at Gerald below and smiled sinisterly. She licked her red lips and said, âHeh, I told you that you couldnât escape from 1. You will be taught a hard lesson by me in bed sooner or later!â
The next day, Gerald was woken up by Jacobâs phone call. He sat up, found the phone, and said, âHey, Iâm still sleeping.â
âItâs 10 oâclock. Itâs Saturday today. Have you forgotten something?â Jacob said snappily.
âSaturday... So what?â Gerald said sleepily. âIf there is nothing else, I will go back to sleep now.â
âShit! Didnât you promise Kian that you would attend the class reunion?â Jacob scolded.
Gerald then remembered that. He didnât have the habit of checking the calendar. When Kian said that they would have a class reunion on Saturday, Gerald thought that there would still be a few days to go. But it was the next day.
âOh, I got it. Iâll see you at the entrance of the hotel in half an hour,â Gerald said.
After hanging up the phone, Gerald got up and simply washed 1. Then, he felt a bit depressed.
He had bought a set of smart clothes in the mall before. He had worn them for two days, so his mother had washed them in the morning.
Therefore, Gerald could only wear relatively old but decent clothes and went to the hotel.
When he arrived at the entrance of Felicity Hotel, he saw Jacob, who was in a suit.
âDamn it! Why did you dress like this?â Jacob saw Geraldâs appearance and stared at him. âDonât you remember how arrogant Kian was? You will be ridiculed by him!â
Gerald was a little helpless. He coughed dryly, then looked at Jacob and said seriously, âWatchmen have to keep a low profile.
This is the rule of Night Watch. You have to remember it.â
âI only know that being low-key will be made fun of.â Jacob rolled his eyes at Gerald and said, âForget it, letâs go in.â
Soon, they walked toward the hotel. Just as they arrived, they saw three people standing at the entrance of the hotel, greeting each other.
Two of them were Kian and Diya. They were the organizers of this reunion, so they had to greet the guests. The other one was Andrew.
âHey, the monitor is now one of the marketing directors of Universe Group. His annual salary is 160 thousand dollars,â
Andrew said happily.
Kian said politely, âI dare not compare with the higher. You are from the Zumthor family.â
âI was just a little lucky and was born into a rich family,â
Andrew said, âBy the way, do you still remember Gerald Kenneth? He was doing well in study and was admitted to Sacramento University. But then he was arrested for rape. I met him two days ago. He has been released.â
âI know. I met him yesterday. He and Jacob came to our company for an interview,â Kian said disdainfully, âJacob didnât even go to a formal university. How dare he want to work in Universe Group? Thatâs ridiculous.â
During the conversation, Diya nudged Kian with her elbow and signaled him to look into the distance.
Kian looked over and found that Gerald and Jacob were walking over.
