Chapter 939: Chapter 941

Chapter 941 Is Jacob Really a Salesperson?

Gerald glanced at the landlady as if nothing had happened. He smiled and asked, “What’s going on up there? Why are there so many City Defenders?”

The landlady’s reaction was quick. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come up with an excuse when she saw Gerald and his group.

She said in a calm voice, “Something seems to have happened to the person who rented the house before You’d better not ask.

It’s not worth causing some trouble Their dialogue was clearly intended for those above them to hear.

An expert with the level of Flame Decay must have this level of hearing.

Then the landlady smiled and said, “Where are we going to shop later? What are we going to eat? You haven’t come to see me for a long time. Where have you been?”

“Doing business out there.” Gerald let out a sigh. “Ah, I’m in the red. Looks like it’s your treat today!”

“Sure. I’ll go home and change my clothes first.” The landlady smiled and said, “I’m in a tough spot too. I finally rented the house at a good price, but after such a mess, it will be difficult to rent this house in the future”

They chatted like normal friends.

When the middle-aged man upstairs heard this, he frowned and then waved his hand and said, “No need to follow them. It should be just her ordinary friend.”

He felt that there weren’t many problems with this conversation.

The most important thing was that Gerald, Kenneth, and Carolyn looked like ordinary people. At first, he had only wanted someone to follow them to confirm their identity.

Gerald had heard the middle-aged man’s order, but he still put up a good show. When the landlady changed her clothes, they took the elevator to the underground garage.

The landlady had a car. After getting into the car, she drove forward slowly. After a while, Gerald smiled slightly and said, “They didn’t follow us. You don’t have to be so tense.”

At this time, the landlady let out a long sigh and said, “I was scared to death just now.”

“Thanks.” Gerald hurriedly said, “What happened?”

The landlady looked at Gerald and shook her head. “I don’t know what happened. About a month ago, a Flame Decayer died in the City of Phoenix. The Four Ancient Families and City Defense worked together to investigate. Eventually, some City Defenders found Triston and his group... and then... Triston and his group attacked and took out those people.”

“Where are they now?” Gerald asked.

“Triston asked me to tell you to call them when you come back,” the landlady said.

Gerald nodded. He quickly took out his phone and dialed Triston’s number.

“Hey, you’re back?” Soon, the phone was connected, and Triston’s voice rang.

Gerald quickly replied in English, “What’s going on? Did someone notice you?”

“Stop talking about it. Damn bad luck!” Triston cursed, “Do you remember Jacob was here to save Rylee before? We beat up a man named Lutin Marce.”

“I remember!” Gerald replied. “But what does that have to do with anything?”

“Damn it, we’ve had bad luck. You took out Conor that time, and then they carried out a full-scale manhunt. Coincidentally, it was Lutin’s father who caught us during the manhunt. He recognized Jacob and Rylee, and then he wanted to take revenge on us and arrest Jacob and Rylee.” Triston said helplessly, “Then... we’ll proceed to end them.”

“But our aura of the level of Flame Decay has been exuded. The Four Ancient Families must be hunting down the new Flame Decayer from the City of Phoenix. So, we escaped. Now, we’re at Abandoned Land,” Triston said.

“Is everyone okay?” Gerald asked.

“It’s alright. Those jerks wouldn’t even want to come here in the first place, and they probably didn’t expect us to come here either. How long will it take for you to come over? I’ll meet you near the entrance,” Triston asked.

“Tonight! I’ll call you when the time comes,” Gerald said.

Although he didn’t sense anyone tailing, he still intended to play the whole act.

He had dinner with the landlady.

As a result, it turned out that the landlady wasn’t as nice as she seemed. Previously, she had used Triston as bait, but after getting to know someone else, she no longer paid attention to Triston.

But the City Defense had been around recently, and the man felt that there was something wrong with her and broke up with her.

During that time, she hinted several times that she had a good impression of Triston.

Gerald didn’t say much about these things. He would relay the message, but he didn’t suggest Triston to be with this woman.

She was too pragmatic.

After dinner and shopping. Gerald bid goodbye to the landlady. In the evening, they walked into Abandoned Land and contacted Triston. Soon, Triston ran over.

When he saw Gerald and his group, he excitedly asked, “How’s it going? How’s the result this time? Has Dr. Manning reached the level of Flame Decay yet?”

Valery nodded “Yes, I did.”

“Which attribute? Is it wood attribute? The kind that can cure people,” Triston asked excitedly.

“They’re not wood attribute.” Valery and Gerald shook their heads.

Triston froze for a moment before hurriedly saying, “It’s ok. With your medical skills, it’s definitely enough.

Even if it’s another attribute, it doesn’t matter.”

“It’s an attribute of vitality.” At this time, Carolyn said with a smile, “It’s much better than the wood attribute. Her healing abilities have improved significantly.”

Triston was stunned for a moment before he became ecstatic and said, “Damn, that’s good. From now on, as long as I’m not fatally stabbed while on a mission, I can be revived.”

Then, he turned to Gerald and asked, “What about you? Have you reached the supreme level of Flame Decay?”

“We’re both there.” Carolyn raised her eyebrows and said smugly.

Triston was speechless.

“I should have gone,” he muttered.

“Take us back first. I have something to say,” Gerald said hurriedly.

Triston nodded, and then he asked while walking, “By the way, Gerald, I’ve been wanting to ask you something. What exactly did Jacob do when he was in Sacramento?”

“Isn’t he a salesperson? Probably selling real estate or something?” Gerald asked. “Why are you asking this?”

“Is he really a salesperson? Why don’t I think so?” Triston muttered, “He had almost brainwashed people in Abandoned Land recently.”

“What did he do?” Gerald asked suspiciously.

“You’ll find out later. He’s giving a lecture at the moment!” Triston said.

Not long after, Gerald and Kenneth arrived at a brightly lit open space. There were hundreds of people sitting there, and a man was talking loudly in front of them.

“People are born to be free! We should all have our own ideals, instead of muddling through and waiting for death! Do you think it’s meaningful to live like this? We only live once, and our lives should be up to us! No one is born to be a slave! Who decided the quality of the genes? The Four Ancient Families? So, guys, work hard! One day, we will rise and destroy the ruling of the Four Ancient Families. We will be our masters! Are those kings and dukes naturally born into good fortune and noble lineage?

The Four Ancient Families weren’t born to be so powerful! If they can do it, why can’t we? If you comprehend, then offer your applause!”

There was a burst of applause, and Gerald looked at the spirited Jacob in front of him with some confusion.
