Chapter 203 Team 11762 âThose from the Dempsey family have come to Washington,â Carolyn said with excitement in her eyes.
âHuh?â Gerald raised his eyebrows. He asked, âReally?â
Valery nodded. âYes. Didnât we mention it when we came to Washington? They sent a small team over because of Seanâs death.â
âThe Watchmen from Europe?â Gerald asked.
Valery said, âNo. They are from the Dempsey family, and the leader is the eldest son, Flory Dempsey. You should know him.â
Gerald licked his lips and said, âVaguely. I think he is Watchman No. 3 among the Watchmen in Europe.â
âYes.â Valery nodded. âAfter they came to our organization, they said that they were told that you killed Sean. They asked us to hand you over and let them deal with you.â
Gerald sneered and said, âThey pinned it on me. When I did it, only Saul escaped. Didnât that confirm that they were related to him?â
âThatâs right. So, we asked him for proof. But he didnât have it,â Valery smiled and said. âHe was so pissed off that he said he would personally come here and investigate. Then he came to Washington not a while ago.â
âShouldnât he be in Sacramento?â Gerald frowned and asked. âIs it possible that my appearance has been compromised, and they know I am in Washington?â
âI donât know about the details.â Valery shook her head. âHowever, they did come to Washington after they left the headquarters.
I suspect youâre just an excuse. Flory knows that he is no match for you, so he uses you as an excuse to work with Blood Lotus, Dark Phantom, and Daxâs men.â
Gerald pondered for a moment and said, âRed Rose told me before that Franklin might show up, and then I ran into him in Los Angeles. Now the underworld of Washington is becoming more and more active... Along with Blaineâs appearance... It does make me think that they are plotting something.â
Carolyn bit her lip and said, âAnyway, whatever they are going to do, of all the people involved in the initial thing, it was these three forces that led the way. After Franklin ran into you this time, I think he was probably going to hide again. However, Saul and those from the Dempsey family will not get away! Perrin is hiding his ass in Europe, and for now, we canât do anything to him. But none of his men will leave Washington in one piece.â
Macy frowned. âBut... If their men die one after another here, there may be internal strife.â
âWe want no internal strife. Without proof, we do not dare to make a move on their men,â Gerald said indifferently. âHowever, the same theory applies to them. What are they going to do? Hold Red Lotus members as witnesses? If they dare to come here and mess with us, Iâll dare to go against them!
âWhere are they now?â Gerald asked.
âI donât know about that,â Valery let out a breath and said. âAfter they reached Washington, the entire team quickly dispersed.â
Gerald frowned If so, they might disguise themselves as ordinary people, and it would be very difficult to find them. He pondered and asked, âDo yo have their photos?â
âYes. I have already handed them to Watchman No. 2,â Valery said.
âAlright. Then let Troy cooperate with us,â Gerald said.
âI donât think... he is happy to do that,â Macy said.
Gerald let out a breath and said, âHe dislikes me, Carolyn, and our team, but when it comes to serious matters, he will make the right choice.â
Valery nodded and said, âOK. I will talk to him. By the way, there will be a few more people coming to Washington shortly after.â
âOh?â Geraldâs expression changed. âWho?â
âThe remaining members of Team 11762,â Valery said.
The moment Gerald and Carolyn heard the name of this team, they could not help but tremble.
Team 11762 was the spearhead of Night Watch.
It used to be Geraldâs team, and there were a total of eight regular members and a peripheral member, Valery.
âHow many are left?â Gerald asked.
*Three. Watchman No. 72 died two years ago in the North, while Watchman No. 69 entered Sin City about a year ago and has yet to get out or be heard from,â Valery said. âThe other three are now all in Night Watchâs top 20 and are already leading their own teams. But this time the commander and Nikolas Gladstone, the adviser, decide to reorganize Team 11762.â
Gerald slowly let out a breath and said, âHow soon will they arrive?â
âThey should still need some time. Two of them are still out on missions. Besides, they also have to deal with the handover. The other one is injured and is recuperating in the hospital at the headquarters. It will probably take a while before the one comes back,â Valery said. âIâll tell you when I know the exact time.â
There was a hint of helplessness in Gerald and Carolynâs eyes.
None of the Watchmen knew when they would die.
Even Gerald wasnât sure about guaranteeing his safety. What he needed to do was to protect his family and friends. He would continue to protect them till the last moment he died.
Once, when he was still a team leader in Night Watch, in four years, none of his units died.
However, what happened three years ago changed everything.
Valery raised her head and looked at Gerald. She said, âAfter you come back to Night Watch this time, Iâll be one of the regulars in Team 11762.â
Gerald was speechless for a second. Then he shook his head and said, âThere is no need, Dr. Manning. Youâre too good to be a regular on our team. Besides, we donât know when we will go back, and we may not be able to go back at all.â
He was telling the truth. He and the others were now on the opposite side of the Dempsey family.
The Dempsey family enjoyed a prestigious status among the Watchmen in the world. Also, Perrin had lived for too long and was the recipient of the first generation of the âMedal of Star Gloryâ. He was simply too influential. If Gerald killed Perrin, Gerald might not even be able to get back to Night Watch alive.
Therefore, both Blaine and Gerald wanted to find a better way to deal with the Dempsey family.
Of course, now Gerald had found a direction.
It was those magical bones.
Valery frowned and looked at Gerald. She sighed.
She knew Gerald. Gerald would never put down his hatred for the big picture.
She had not advised Gerald again since the last time.
âEnough. Go to bed early,â Valery said. âYou still have to be responsible for Ingridâs safety during this time.â
Gerald nodded. After washing up simply, he lay on the bed.
In the Maddoxâs place in Washington.
A car slowly drove into the villa. After the car stopped, Ingrid returned to her room, which came with a bathroom.
After she went back to her room, Irvin came out.
After seeing Eddie, he asked, âHow is it today? How are Ingrid and Leo getting along?â
There was a trace of embarrassment on Eddieâs face, and he said, âSomething happened.â
âHuh?â Irvin frowned. âWhat happened?â
Eddie briefly told Irvin about what happened at the banquet. After that, Irvin said in astonishment, âSo, that Gerald guy made Arthur bow to him, and Kerr and Stacey were very polite to Gerald as well?â
Eddie nodded.
He did not mention Geraldâs relationship with Night Watch.
âDid you test him out?â Irvin asked.
Eddie shook his head and said, âNo. However, he is obviously not just a nobody. I think he can be Ingridâs friend.â
âHe can make a person like Arthur show respect. Of course, he is bound not to be just a nobody. Iâm sure he is from the underworld. I just donât know if he is a Watchman. Keep it down,â Irvin said.
Eddie nodded slightly. He would cover it up for Gerald even if Irvin did not remind him.
At the same time, a black car was moving forward.
Inside the car, Sergio and Leo sat in the back row. The former looked outside the window, while the latter pulled an utterly long face.
