Chapter 267: Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Not the Only One Right after the voice, an old man wearing a yellow coat and holding a walking stick came down the stairs from the second floor.

Gerald narrowed his eyes and looked over.

One couldn’t tell this old man’s age from his appearance. He had very little hair, which was all white. Gerald felt that he could count this old man’s hair with his fingers.

This old man seemed conscious of his hair. He had had it styled.

Gerald knew with one look that the walking stick in the old man’s hand should be a weapon, either a saber or a sword. But judging from the shape, it was more likely to be a sword.

Gerald instantly knew this old man must be Dylan.

Beside Gerald, Jessica looked stunned. She looked at Dylan with a trace of confusion on her face.

Dylan had not shown himself for many years, so he wasn’t on the Sun List. Most people even thought he was dead.

Jessica married into the Thornton family more than 20 years ago. She had stayed with the Thornton family for many years, but she had never met Dylan.

There was a small building in the Thornton family’s courtyard, and the people of the Thornton family were not allowed to go in there.

Dylan slowly walked down. Perhaps because her fear for him remained, or because he had been in a high position for too long and had an intimidating aura, Jessica felt pressure just watching him slowly walk toward them. She subconsciously moved closer to Gerald and clutched at his clothes.

Next to them, Cale saw how close Jessica and Gerald were, and his face darkened.

Dylan walked to the table, picked up Gerald’s file, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

He put the walking stick on the table and looked at Gerald with a half-smile. “A top-level that is less than thirty. And I saw the power that burst out of you. Even few people at the top level are your match. You do have extraordinary talent.”

Gerald’s expression did not change. He sized up Dylan unscrupulously. Without raising his head, Dylan said calmly, “I heard from Derick that your master is the guy who is a frequent visitor to prisons. Has he not taught you not to look at the elders like that but be respectful?”

Gerald ignored Dylan’s words. But he saw a tattoo of a lotus on Dylan’s wrist when Dylan turned his hand over!

It was obvious that Blaine was right about it. Dylan was once a member of Blood Lotus. If he was a member of Blood Lotus, then the Thornton family must have a lot to do with Blood Lotus.

“Still not looking away?” Seeing that Gerald’s eyes were still on him and moving about, Dylan narrowed his eyes.

“Why can’t I look at you? You’re unsightly?” Gerald asked calmly.

“Childish.” Dylan flipped through Gerald’s information. After a while, he said, “Even your master has to call me Mr. Thornton.”

Dylan was pretty much of Derick’s father’s or grandfather’s generation.

After all, Dylan was a monster that had lived for almost 120 years.

Gerald chuckled and said, “You don’t deserve my respect. After the shameless things the Thornton family has done, how dare you ask for respect from me?”

Dylan raised his head and said indifferently, “Close the door!”

Tap, tap.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Then, the dozen or so people standing outside all walked into the room.

Then, with a creak, the door to this building was closed.

Jessica’s expression changed drastically!

She knew that the Thornton family was taking tough actions after the failed attempt of threat.

As for their fear of Gerald and Charles, it was gone after Dylan showed up.

Outside the small building, Dave was standing there. And Riley was standing with him.

“Why did they close the door?” Riley said with a frown.

Dave sneered. “To keep them in, okay? Gerald will get fucked up in a few seconds. Charles may be scary. But he is nothing in front of my great-grandfather! Today is not Gerald’s day!”

Riley looked somewhat troubled. “Then what about Jessica...”

After all, he and Daphne used to go to the same school, and they were sort of friends.

“She? She’d better hand in the shares she has. If she doesn’t, we will teach her a good lesson,” Dave said with a cocky smile.

After saying that, he looked at Riley and said, “Riley, although you are not from the Thornton family, I have always regarded you as my younger brother since I met you. That’s why I brought you here today. But you must not say a word to anyone about Dylan. If one word goes out, I will not be able to protect you from what will happen to you!”

Riley trembled slightly. Then he quickly nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t say a word.”

Dave nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, get ready. Let’s wait for Gerald’s screams. And we’ll go in when Gerald is beaten half to death and torture them further. My great-grandfather has promised that he will give Gerald to us when he’s done. Gerald is just a piece of shit. Where does he get the cheeks to stand with Leana?”

Riley nodded. “Right! And Ingrid!”

In the building, after the door was closed, Gerald slightly raised his eyes to look at Dylan. He said, “It seems you see the negotiation isn’t working, so you’re settling this like a jerk?”

“You can take it that way,” Dylan said indifferently. “Of course, I’ve offered her 160 million dollars, but she doesn’t want it. Then she won’t get 160 million dollars, but 1.6 million dollars!”

With that, he looked at Gerald and continued, “As for you! You slapped my son. I’m his father, so I naturally have to get justice for him. No one is getting away easily with slapping a Thornton.’

“Then what are you going to do?” Gerald asked calmly.

He looked at Jared and the others who were opposite him.

Jared, Edric, and the other two all looked expectant, as if they were looking forward to the humiliating torture Gerald would soon go through!

“Simple,” Dylan said. “Since you’ve slapped Jared in the face, then kneel down in front of Jared obediently and beg for mercy.

Then, move your face close to Jared for him to slap you. After he is satisfied, we can turn the page.”

Gerald was amused, and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Jared’s smug and then said with a smile, “What if I don’t?”

face Dylan tightened his grip on the walking stick in his hand and said to Gerald, “If you apologize now, we might let you live. If you don’t, you might lose your life. You’re a talent and are already at the top level at such a young age. It will be sad news if you die so soon. Oh, right, Derick won’t be able to save you this time!”

“Kid, there are people at a higher level than the top level,” Dylan said indifferently.

After Dylan finished speaking, an invisible gust of power erupted from his body. He slowly raised his eyes and looked towards Gerald, his eyes full of ridicule.

As expected, he was at the super level!

Gerald’s expression became serious. Moreover, his power was no weaker than Dax’s!

Gerald smiled and said, “Super level?”

“You’re not as ignorant as I thought. So, kneel down!” Dylan’s eyes darkened!

Gerald let out a breath and stood up.

Edric sneered, “Tsk, tsk, aren’t you always quite arrogant? I thought you were a tough guy. But now you’re kneeling and apologizing. But let me tell you, it’s too late!”

Gerald looked at him indifferently, then looked at Dylan and said, “Super level? Well... You’re not the only one here.”

Wham!

At this moment, a terrifying gust of power rose from Gerald’s body.
