Chapter 789: Chapter 791

Chapter 791 You Still Don’t Trust Me?

At this moment, Gerald and his group were still unaware of what had happened at the Night Watch headquarters.

They were now visiting two apartments.

The interior of the apartments was very clean, and some decorations were quite satisfying.

The landlady was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She had a well-rounded figure and a pretty good appearance. On her chest, there was a number plate, showing her status as an upper-class person.

She frowned and sized up Gerald and the others.

Jacob and Ryder stood beside her.

“Lower-class people...” She seemed dissatisfied because Gerald and his group did not have the number plate of upper-class people.

Ryder quickly said, “They are willing to rent two apartments and pay six months’ rent upfront.”

The landlady’s eyes lit up slightly.

Jacob nodded and said, “Yes, if you don’t mind, we can sign the contract and I’ll pay you the money directly.”

“No problem!” The landlady said.

Gerald and the others turned to Jacob and nodded, showing their satisfaction with the apartments.

They then proceeded to sign the contract and pay.

The landlady’s worries disappeared when she saw how eager Jacob was to pay.

While the status of an upper-class person was indeed very high in this world, he still needed money to live. Some lower-class people might be of low status, but among them were some people with great business talent and decent assets. Of course, such people were rare.

Lower-class people were born inferior to upper-class people.

After signing the contract, the landlady took out her business card with satisfaction and smiled. “I live downstairs. If you need anything, just let me know. And I’ll do my best to fulfill your requests.”

Jacob also smiled. “Sure! If we meet any troubles, we will definitely let you know.”

The landlady soon left. Looking at her swaying figure, Jacob licked his lips.

Ryder also felt excited because he had made a good profit this time. The landlady seemed to be very happy.

so she had already transferred the commission to Ryder, giving him 5,000.

Ryder hurriedly said, “Thank you all very much. If you need me in this city in the future, don’t hesitate to call me.”

Gerald turned to look at him, nodded, and said, “I will surely contact you.”

4 Ryder nodded, feeling that Gerald and the others would be useful additions to his network. If he kept a good relationship with them, he wouldn’t have to worry about making money in the future.

He answered, “Well then, I think I should take my leave.”

Gerald and the others nodded!

Ryder then walked out of the apartment and closed the door. He touched the blue card in his hand and said excitedly. “If I save a little more, I can buy some energy stones...”

Gerald walked over to the window, where Valery was standing and looking down below.

This apartment was good in every way except for the view, as it was situated in a relatively low position. This apartment was on the ninth floor of a building of eighty-eight stories, surrounded by tall buildings, and all Gerald and Valery could see was the street below the balcony.

Moreover, this building was extremely large. Even though an apartment occupied around 1,500 square feet, each floor had eight households.

Gerald patted Valery on the shoulder and said, “Let’s tidy up and then have a meeting!”

Valery withdrew her gaze and nodded. She then turned around and walked into another apartment with Carolyn.

The two girls lived in another apartment, and some of the empty rooms in it were made into common areas.

Gerald and the others each found a room, and then the eight of them sat around the table.

After twenty days of traveling, they finally arrived in the City of Phoenix.

“Next!” Gerald looked at everyone and said, “Our target is very clear. Hunt down those at the level of Half-Step Flame Decay and above.”

Those who were at the level of Half-Step Flame Decay could drive a purple Elite Ghost and were comparable to those at the level of Flame Decay. Therefore, Gerald’s fellows would mainly hunt down those above the level of Half-Step Flame Decay. Of course, Gerald’s target was not that. He would hunt down those at the level of Flame Decay.

Gerald said calmly, “Watchmen do not fight unprepared. You all have been Watchmen for many years, so I think you all know this. As usual, let’s gather information and wait for the right time to strike. The seven of us will be divided into three groups tomorrow. Claude, Valery, and Carolyn, the three of you will be in a group. Triston and Charles will be in another group, and Jacob and I will be in the last group.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Hector frowned slightly and asked, “What about me?”

Gerald looked at him and explained, “Your cover has been blown here. Although a hundred years have passed, many people from the Four Ancient Families still remember you and could even recognize you. So you had better stay here and gather information. We...”

Hector looked at Gerald with interest and interrupted with a smile, “You still don’t trust me?”

Gerald did not deny it and said lightly, “You still have a blood relationship with the Four Ancient Families.”

Hector fell silent for a while, then smiled and said, “That’s true. I understand. But if you want to gather information, I have a place to recommend! I just don’t know if it’s still there now.”

Gerald’s expression changed. “Really? Where do you mean?”

Hector replied, “In fact, I never told you my way of hunting. In this city, many people have grudges against the Four Ancient Families besides us.”

Gerald turned to look at him.

Hector continued, “Well, there is a killer organization in this city called Rho Guild. Its killers can post and accept tasks in it. There should be a lot of tasks about those at the level of Flame Decay of the Four Ancient Families, and their recent whereabouts, hobbies, etc. will be updated instantly.”

Gerald’s eyes lit up. “You mean we can be killers in that organization and skip the step of gathering information ourselves by taking on tasks from within?”

Hector nodded. “Exactly, but not everyone has to do it. Only you need to register as a killer.”

“What about the rest of us?” Triston frowned. “We’re not here to travel.”

Hector smiled. “Your tasks are still to hunt down those at the level of Half-Step Flame Decay of the Four Ancient Families. It’s not that difficult to find them. Anyone above the super level in the City of Phoenix will register their information online. You can search online to determine your hunting targets, investigate their whereabouts yourselves, and then hunt them down! It’s a bit more troublesome than becoming a killer.”

Jacob nodded and said, “That’s true. If a group of people suddenly appear in that organization and their targets are all people from the Four Ancient Families, it may cause some suspicions and investigations.”

They discussed it back and forth, and ultimately, Gerald made the decision. “Let’s do it this way! We split up and played the role of killers. We can try using the methods of killing on Earth, and what we pursue is to kill them in one blow.”

Hector spread out his chair and lay down, saying, “That would make my job a lot easier.”

Gerald looked at Hector and asked, “How can we find Rho Guild?”
