Chapter 254 None of Them Can Escape!

After the others left, Gerald looked at Ingrid, Daphne, and Jessica.

“Thank you, Gerald!” Jessica smiled bitterly and said, “If it were not for you, I am afraid that I would not be able to walk out of the Thornton’s house safely this time. The Thornton family looks glamorous on the surface, but they have countless dirty deals under the table. They are a dirty .family!”

Gerald laughed. He touched his nose and said, “You are welcome. Daphne is my friend, and you are also my friend. This is what I should do.”

Jessica was stunned. She thought, did he just say friend? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Gerald just said that she and Daphne were both his friends, and it sounded a bit strange.

“It’s good that you have come out now, and I have helped you vent your anger. However, have you thought about the future? The Thornton family obviously won’t let this go,” Gerald asked.

Jessica’s face looked sober. Then, she sighed and said, “I don’t know what to do either. The Thornton family is a powerful family, and I can’t afford to offend them. In fact, I don’t hope too much. When I was young, I felt that rich and powerful families were what I wanted. After entering one, I found that it was not the same as I had thought. I am not the kind of disobedient wife…”

As she spoke, her eyes were a little red.

As a single mother, she had some grievances, but she usually kept them to herself, even though she looked glamorous on the outside.

“It’s up to you how you want to deal with the matter.” Gerald said lightly, “If you have any problems, come to me. I will definitely help you solve them.”

Jessica looked at Gerald in shock.

Ingrid said, “Jessica, you and Daphne can go to our house first. No matter what the people of the

Thornton family want to do to cause trouble, they dare not go to our house. If they want to talk to

you, we can let them go directly to our house to have the talk. My grandfather and my father are there, and the people of the Thornton family absolutely dare not go too far.”

“Thank you first, but… I am afraid that it will cause trouble for your family.” Jessica was a little hesitant.

After all, this matter involved the Thornton family. If they went to Ingrid’s home, the Thornton family might resent the Maddox family, and it would affect the Maddox family. Jessica didn’t want

to see that.

Ingrid smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Gerald is with us. There won’t be any problems!”

Jessica looked at Gerald. Gerald smiled at her and said, “Just go to their house. It is indeed safe

there. You have also said that the Thornton family has some dirty tricks. Who knows what they will do to you and Daphne? They are not willing to admit that Daphne is a member of the Thornton family now. They might do anything to hurt you.”

Jessica exhaled and then looked at Ingrid and said, “Thank you!”

After that, she looked at Gerald and said, “If this matter is settled, I will give you enough shares of

Goldsun Group.”

Gerald smiled and did not take it to heart.

Of course, he would never refuse this kind of offer.

This was one of the reasons why Gerald had the support of a powerful business empire.

He not only had the Universe Group.

“Alright, Gerald, I will bring Jessica and Daphne back first. You drive home yourself. Now it is time to get off work,” Ingrid said.

Gerald nodded.

He got in the car and took out his mobile phone. He sent a message to Catherine, saying that he would not go back to the company and she did not have to wait for him. Then he drove to his home.

Too many things happened on this day.

First, it was the annihilation of Dark Phantom, and then it was the matter of the Thornton family. In fact, Gerald was also a little tired, especially because the previous battle had consumed a lot of his

energy.

Fortunately, the mission was over now, and Dax should not be coming out now.

This was what Dax was like. He was known as the Hermit, which meant that he rarely came out from reclusion and rarely acted. Of course, every time he attacked, he was dealing with big shots!

This time, he was eager to get the bones of the Maddox family, and that was why he acted this time. However, in the end, he met Gerald, who had eaten four pieces of dragon bones.

Just as Gerald drove home, in the Maddox’s house in Washington, Eddie quickly walked into the

villa.

He shouted inside, “Irvin! Irvin!”

Soon, Irvin came down from upstairs. When he saw Eddie, his heart skipped a beat. He said, “What’s wrong? Where’s Ingrid? Did something happen to her?”

Eddie gasped. He shook his head and said, “No, it is over!”

“Is it over?” Irvin was stunned and said, “What about Ingrid? Where is she?”

Irvin was a little anxious.

Although he had arranged everything for Ingrid in the future, he still doted on her very much.

For example, when Ingrid wanted to go to Sacramento to find Daphne, he arranged for her to go to California State University. In this regard, he really spoiled her.

“I should be able to make it clear to you now. Anyway, the Night Watch will probably talk to you.” Eddie exhaled and said, “Today, Leana came to Gerald and took Ingrid to Harmony Restaurant for dinner. The Dark Phantom found that I didn’t follow them, so they sent experts to intercept them, including more than 20 experts at the top level!”

Irvin was slightly stunned. He looked at Eddie and said, “Did you say twenty experts at the top level, including Saul? Facing this group, even if it were watchmen at the super level, it would be difficult for them to handle!”

“According to Ingrid, there seemed to be another expert at the super level,” Eddie said.

Irvin’s whole body trembled and he suddenly slumped on the sofa.

Just thinking of this powerful group, he felt that it was somewhat dangerous. Then he hurriedly asked, “Is Ingrid injured? Which hospital is she in?”

“No, she is safe and sound.” Eddie smiled and said, “Gerald took the Watchmen and killed Saul. More than 20 experts all died. Only that expert who was at the super level has escaped.”

Irvin, who had just stood up, sat down on the sofa again. He felt that his legs were a little weak!

He heard the name Saul!

He was ranked second in the underground killer list. After today, his name would be removed from

the list.

Irvin swallowed his saliva and said, “Gerald… Is he that powerful?”

Eddie nodded and said, “I have never mentioned it to you before, but it should be fine to talk about

it to you now. He was indeed sent by Night Watch to protect Ingrid. Moreover, he is Watchman No. o! The former Watchman No. 0 has reached the super level!”

Irvin felt his scalp tingle!

For a 20–year–old young man who had reached the super level, no one knew what his future would be like. As Irvin thought about how he had asked Eddie to beat up Gerald, he felt a little bad.

He gritted his teeth. After a moment, he stood up and said, “Come with me to see my father!”

Gerald naturally didn’t know what had happened in the Maddox family. He arrived home.

Just as he opened the door, he smelled a wisp of fragrance.

It was not only the fragrance of the food but also the fragrance of scented candles.

Gerald walked into the room and found that Carolyn, Valery, and Macy were sitting at the dining table. Valery cooked a lot of dishes!

On the table, there were five sets of utensils. Valery and the other two were sitting at the table. The utensils were neatly set, but they hadn’t started to eat.

On the main seat of the table, there was a black–and–white picture frame. In the picture frame, there was a photo of a young man with a bald head and a straw piece of grass in his mouth.

He was dressed in the uniform of a Watchman and carried two blades on his back.

It was the former Watchman No. 7, the third strongest Watchman in Team 11762, Terry!

Three years ago, in order to help Gerald and Carolyn to escape, he died in Los Angeles.

The atmosphere in the room was a little sad.

Carolyn’s eyes were a little red. When Gerald walked in, she seemed unable to restrain her emotions anymore. She ran to Gerald’s side and threw herself into Gerald’s arms. She began to

wail!

“We killed our first enemy for Terry, but he can never come back. The one who ate the most and ate the fastest every time, the one who always had a smile on his face every day, the one who always made everyone in the team laugh, will never come back,” Carolyn muttered.

After Gerald heard this, his body trembled, and his eyes became moist.

He walked to the dining table with Carolyn in his arms. Then, he sat down and looked at the photo of

Terry. He wiped his wet eyes and said, “Terry, this is the first enemy that we have killed for you. He won’t be the last one. Whether it is Franklin or the people from the Dempsey family, none of them will be able to escape! Trust me!”
