Chapter 351 Cat Lady Claude was quite strange. He seemed to be scared.
Such a situation was rare. As Watchmen, they slighted death, but Claudeâs fear seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
Claude glanced at Scar and then frowned.
Gerald said to Scar, âWell, Scar, can you leave us alone? How about going to the second floor? Weâll discuss the development later.â
Scar glanced at Gerald and the others. In fact, he also needed to calm down.
In this challenge, he was severely tortured. He didnât expect that the person he casually chose was so fierce. The three guys and the woman were all at the top level.
Then, Scar was protected by the people of Silent Slayers for no reason. Everything might go beyond his expectations. The development of Lightbringers might be on the right track.
Hearing that Gerald wanted a private talk, Scar cursed in his heart, but he didnât say anything.
These guys were mysterious. He never thought a top expert would be among them.
When Scar went to the second floor, Gerald looked at Claude.
Claude exhaled and controlled his emotion. He whispered, âI saw the Eastern Districtâs Holy Lord. When I put away my gun, I found her squatting beside me without making a sound. I was almost scared to death.â
Theo and Kristenâs pupils contracted. Theo swallowed and asked, âCat Lady?â
Claude nodded. âYes. She recognized us.â
âWhat did she ask you?â Kristen asked.
Claude shook his head and said, âShe didnât ask anything, but I felt that something was wrong with her. I felt that she wanted to kill me, but in the end, she didnât do anything. She even said that she would keep it a secret for us.â
Speaking of this, Claude looked at Gerald and said, âBut she asked Gerald to come to her. I guess...â
As he spoke, Claude looked at Gerald and said with an embarrassed expression, âMoreover, she found that there is something wrong with your health.â
Gerald frowned.
Cat Lady Belinda Charlton, ranked 11th on the Sun List, was a woman with a strange temper. Five years ago, she was at the super level. She had dealt with Gerald a few times. The so-called âdeal withâ meant that she had been tricked several times by Gerald five years ago.
âOkay, I will make time to see her tomorrow morning. I did cheat her a few times, and if she wanted to kill me, she would have done it when she found out that I was in poor health,â Gerald said. âSo, there should be no danger.
Moreover, she is the East Districtâs Holy Lord, and I might get some information from her.â
Then he let out a breath and said, âAlright, letâs go to the second floor.â
Claude was still scared. Theo looked at him and scolded, âLook at you, you embarrassed us all.
Your ranking is even higher than mine. There must be a problem with the ranking system.â
Claude scolded, âYou just didnât meet her. Imagine that while you were beating someone up, you turned around and saw a woman in a black dress squatting next to you with her hair scattered.
Then she showed killing intent several times. You would be so scared that you even wet your pants.â
Theo curled his lips and said, âThatâs impossible. I remember that Cat Lady is charming. If I found such a beautiful woman after I turned around, I would press her down and teach her a lesson to make her docile cat.â
Kristen kicked Claude and said, âHow disgusting you are!â
âDonât worry, Iâm not interested in you. Your appearance isnât attractive enough.â Theo assured Kristen.
âTheo, I want a duel with you.â Kristen became even angrier when she heard this.
As they spoke, they walked to the second floor.
On chairs in the hall on the second floor, all the people were sitting on it. Scar was lost in thinking.
When Roger saw Gerald and the others coming up, he asked, âHow is it? Have you finished?â
Gerald smiled at him and said, âWe have. In the future, the people on this street donât have to pay protection fees. Moreover, Theo has joined Silent Slayers and can earn a high salary. Roger, you donât have to go to work. Just stay at home.â
Roger was stunned.
Nikki said, âThat wonât do. It will be your money, not ours. I know that you are capable. Even if we donât take you in, you can live a good life in this city.â
Gerald smiled, but he did not insist.
He knew that with Nikkiâs personality and the habits she developed after living a hard life, she was unlikely to change. He had to spend time helping her change.
Scar let out a breath. He asked Roger for some cigarettes, then got up and said, âItâs almost over.
Then I will go back.â
Gerald smiled at him and said, âIâll send you home.â
Scar looked at Gerald with hesitation and then nodded.
Theo and Claude also stood up.
Geraldâs Vital Energy had not recovered. They had to be responsible for Geraldâs safety if he was to hang out.
âWait a minute.â At this time, Valery spoke. Then she returned to the room and took out some medicine. âI will bandage the wound for you.â
Scar was stunned.
Although Scar was quite capable, he was just a poor guy. He did not join any forces but wanted to set one himself. However, he couldnât get anyone to join him. He worked at the gas station for a living. His injury was not serious, so he just wanted the time to heal it.
After all, medical expenses in Sin City were so high that ordinary people couldnât afford them.
Scar did not expect that Valery was a doctor.
Valery cleaned his wound and bandaged it. After that, she let out a sigh of relief and said, âDone.â
Then, Gerald and the other two followed Scar out. The four walked along the street into the distance.
Along the way, some people poked their heads out to look at them from time to time. This time, they looked at Scar differently.
In the past, Scar often came to this street to ask people to join him, but they did not like him and would always put on a straight face.
But this time, they knew that Scar would make the final call on this street.
A bold person asked, âScar, will we not have to pay protection fees?â
Scar did not speak. He was quite depressed. Although he had won the battle and might have become more popular, it was quite difficult to set up a force here without enough money.
So, he kept silent and looked at Gerald gloomily from time to time.
Gerald smiled at him.
Along the way, more and more people asked questions. Scar sighed and turned back. âYou do not need to pay protection fees.â
The people who heard it turned around and shouted excitedly.
They had to pay a protection fee of 500 lucs every month, and the change meant that they could save money. This would a huge sum of money for the people here.
Excited voices spread throughout the street. From time to time, people shouted, âScar, thank you. Come to my house another day and I wonât kick you out. I will treat you to a meal.â
âScar, you are our savior.â
All kinds of praise began to spread.
Those who thought that the four were doomed just felt sincere gratitude to them at this moment.
Scarâs depression was finally replaced by a smile.
âHow is it? With protection fees gone comes the praise of the people.â Gerald patted Scar on the shoulder.
Scar sighed, âWell, it doesnât matter. I canât win without you. In any case, I have made a name for myself. It may be easier to have people join me. I will choose an empty building here and change it to our headquarters.â
The four people said as they wandered to the end of the street.
Gerald grabbed Scar on the shoulder and said, âTell me the story of your boss.â
