Chapter 940: Chapter 942

Chapter 942 Final Meeting Before Returning to Earth Gerald and his group were dumbfounded, as Jacob at this moment appeared to be a motivational speaker, loudly delivering his message.

When the applause fell, Jacob picked up the microphone again and continued, “We are all born as ants, but so what? We must have the ambition of a swan, soaring through the nine heavens. Our lives may be as fragile as paper, but so what? We must have an unyielding spirit. Allow me to share a tale with everyone..

Jacob was talking endlessly, and the rhythm worked extremely well.

Gerald, Carolyn, and Valery were all dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene for the first time.

“You see that?” said Triston, speechless. “I suspect this guy used to be involved in pyramid schemes and was a leader in the business.”

“Give me a cigar!” Gerald looked at Claude.

“Til have one too!” Triston said.

The cigarette was lit.

On the stage, Jacob was talking incessantly, while Gerald and others were smoking cigarettes.

After a long time, thunderous applause broke out at the scene. Only then did the speech end. Many people began to leave, and Jacob also walked down the stage. After those people left, he came to Gerald and others with a smile.

“When did you learn how to do that?” Gerald asked, at a loss of word.

Jacob laughed, “You didn’t expect it, did you? In the past, when I was selling real estate, the company organized us to watch successful shows and give lectures. I thought I could talk better than him, but I didn’t have money, nor did I have the confidence.

After becoming a Night Watch, I gained confidence and self-assurance, and everything became much easier.”

Gerald was dumbfounded.

He looked around and said, “Let’s go back to where we stay first!”

They nodded in agreement.

Soon, they returned to Rylee’s courtyard.

The courtyard wasn’t too big, and everyone was living in close quarters, but at least they could all fit.

For Gerald and his group, the living environment was always secondary.

Inside the room, a light was on. At this time, in the room, even Charles arrived at this place.

This was the last meeting of their team before they left Havotune.

Gerald was holding his phone in his hand. Looking at the date on it, he said, “There are only about five days left until we return to Earth.”

“Yes.” Jacob frowned slightly.

Gerald looked at Jacob and said, “Tell me about the recent progress! I’ll start with you!”

Jacob nodded and said, “During this period, I mainly spread some opinions both online and offline. Online, referring to inside the game. After you invested the funds, my guild in the game quickly grew stronger, attracting mostly lower-class people who were different from those in Abandoned Land.”

“These people have higher status than the people in Abandoned Land, but it’s limited.” Jacob said, “Most of them are busy, and the process of planting seeds for them may be more difficult.”

“The other way is to go offline. I’m spreading some ideas in Abandoned Land. I’ve recruited a few disciples in the past month, and they are all willing to follow us. For the time being, they should be trustworthy. When we go back in the coming few months, they will take over my place and continue to publicize it here.” Jacob continued, “But... we still need an opportunity. An expert to stand up and lead them.”

“Whether it’s verbal or brainwashing, it’s just mobilizing their emotions to make them want to resist,” said Jacob.

Gerald nodded and looked at Charles. “What about you?”

Charles raised his head. There was an inexplicable look in his eyes.

At that time, in order to train himself, he took the initiative to leave the team and develop himself alone. He went to the restaurant opened by the Four Ancient Families to be a chef.

His goal was to become a Flame Decayer.

However, apart from Jacob, who barely had any martial arts talent, and Claude, who was not very good at martial arts, Gerald and his group had all broken through the level of Flame Decay.

This made Charles envious.

After hearing Gerald’s words, Charles pondered for a moment and said, “I’ve already become the head chef of their restaurant.

I’ve also started to contact some senior executives of the Four Ancient Families and are collecting some information about them.”

With that, he paused for a moment and said, “This time, I won’t go back with you. I’ll stay here. When you come over next time, I’ll give you the things I collected.”

Gerald frowned. “Aren’t you going back?”

“Well! I’m all alone here, or on Earth, and my life hasn’t changed much.” Charles shook his head and said, “Then why don’t just stay here? Aside from collecting information, I also plan to start cultivating some people. here. In fact, I have been doing these things quietly for the past six months. Didn’t you plan to set up Night Watch before?”

Indeed, Gerald did plan to form a team of Night Watch. However, over the past six months, he was almost always occupied, so the matter had been put on hold.

“I’ve found a few talented orphans. I’ve adopted them, and secretly trained them to practice martial arts,”

Charles said.

Gerald nodded. “It’s up to you!”

Hector said, “For the past month, we have been staying in Abandoned Land to cooperate with Jacob. We haven’t made many other discoveries.”

Gerald nodded and said, “Five days remain until our departure, which is even shorter in this world’s time. Of course, whether it is one day more or less is not so important. What’s important is that I plan to do something big before we leave.”

“Huh?” Triston looked at Gerald with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

“Let’s talk about the participants this time. I, Valery, Carolyn, Triston, Claude, and Hector!” Gerald named. “The participants are...

six!”

After saying that, he looked at Charles and said, “Charles, just go back and continue to lay low. Jacob, can you drive a hover car now?”

“Yes!” Jacob nodded and said, “It’s quite simple.”

“That’s fine. You drive the hover car and wait for us outside with your wife.” Gerald said, “The location... is somewhere on the way to Ries City. I’ll pick out the specific location later.”

Gerald knew that Jacob was going to bring Rylee back to Earth.

“No problem!” Jacob said.

Hector looked at Gerald and asked with a frown, “What are you going to do? Gerald, don’t be too impulsive. We can take our time! It’s not good for us if we are exposed! I’m worried that once the Four Ancient Families find out that we are from Earth, they will be desperate and directly expose the news of Earth.”

Gerald ignored Hector’s words. Instead, he licked his lips and said, “I won’t expose myself. This time, I want to make the Four Ancient Families feel the pain deep in their hearts!”
