Chapter 871 Wake Up âShadow saved us?â Gerald didnât look happy when he heard this. âDidnât he run away?â
âHe hid. When he saw us running out, he managed to take us away. Shadow is pretty good at hiding. Most people canât even catch his sleeve, Ms. Cat said. âHe kept apologizing to me when you were in a coma, but I didnât accept his apology.â
âWhat are you going to do next?â she looked at Gerald and asked.
âOf course, I will ask him for an explanation. He is Cohnâs man, right?â Gerald said in a low voice.
Ms. Cat nodded and agreed, âYes, he is Cohnâs man.â
âHe and I agreed to cooperate, but that son of a bitch escaped at the critical moment. I hate people who run away at the last minute the most!â Gerald sneered and said, âWhen I recover, I will go to Cohn for an explanation.â
Ms. Cat studied the look on Geraldâs face and smiled. âYou donât look like someone your age. You were so calm and collected at that time.â
Gerald smiled bitterly in his heart.
Indeed, the battles that Gerald had experienced in his life were hard to imagine even for most people in Havotune.
Although the people in Havotune were facing a crisis, most of them from big families lived in relatively safe cities. Although the beast attack never stopped, it didnât happen too many times. Therefore, they didnât have to fight all the time. Most of them only had practice with each other.
Of course, except for those who had to go out for training.
As for Gerald, he survived on the edge of danger over and over again.
âWhere is my phone?â Gerald asked.
âItâs outside. I will bring it over. I also changed your clothes for you. The clothes you wore before were torn apart,â Ms. Cat said.
âThere have been people who tried to call you. But I didnât pick it up.â
âOh?â Gerald gave Ms. Cat a look of surprise.
âYou saved my life, and I know I should be grateful for it. I am indeed very curious about who you are, but you have the Dragon Bone. If you have a mysterious and powerful force behind you and I overheard something that I should not know when I picked up your phone, I might get myself killed. Itâs too risky,â Ms. Cat said with a smile.
Gerald felt he couldnât see through her. Ms. Cat smiled and walked out.
âSeems like she is a good guy,â Gerald smiled.
Then, he began to try to collect the Vital Energy in his body while checking his bodyâs condition.
His body was not in a good condition. When he punched Conor, he suffered a strike from Conor as well, and it hurt him a lot. He still felt a sharp pain in his chest. He needed to ask Valery to give him treatment when he got back.
Soon, Ms. Cat fetched Gerald his phone. Then she smiled at Gerald and said, âI wonât eavesdrop. Amber, letâs go.â
A Seven-Colored Cat jumped down from the sofa next to the bed and turned to leave the room.
None of them inquired about each otherâs identity.
Gerald would not believe that Ms. Cat would be as simple as she looked.
After Ms. Cat left, Gerald let out a sigh of relief and turned on his phone.
A mechanical voice sounded on the phone. âValery called 942 times. Anabel called 49 times...â
Hearing Valeryâs name, Gerald felt warmth in his heart.
âYou guys must get worried,â Gerald muttered. Then, he picked up his phone.
Soon, an excited voice rang out over the phone, âGerald? Is that you? Where are you? Are you alright?â
There was excitement and also worry in Valeryâs voice.
Gerald smiled and said, âIâm fine. I passed out. Sorry to make you worry about me.â
âItâs good that youâre fine. Iâm so glad that you are okay.â Valery quickly said. âWhere are you now? I will go pick you up.â
âI donât know where I am either. Iâm at Ms. Catâs place now. She is the one I cooperated with before. I just woke up. Iâm fine. I just got hurt a little bit. I will get better soon,â Gerald said, enduring the burning pain in his chest.
Valery was still worried about him and she hurriedly said, âThen ask her. Hector will pick you up right away.â
âValery, donât worry about me. When I feel better later, I will ask her to send me back. I heard that the City of Phoenix is not peaceful now. Weâd better keep a low profile for now,â Gerald said.
âYes, the Four Ancient Families sealed the whole city. I heard that they started searching in every household,â said Valery.
Gerald got a bad feeling. It sounded like they were looking for a needle in a haystack, and Worldly Wonderland did not have cameras.
But there were several staff members in Worldly Wonderland who had seen Geraldâs face, and they might be able to recognize Gerald.
Of course, it was more unlikely to happen. There were only a few people who knew Gerald. Without his pictures, it wouldnât be easy for the Four Ancient Families to find him.
Gerald thought that the Four Ancient Families were probably searching for the newcomers on the level of Flame Decay in the city.
People who reached the level of Flame Decay could cover their aura and would not expose themselves.
Gerald was seriously injured this time, but it was worth it. After all, he killed a guy on the level of Flame Decay.
After comforting Valery for a while, Gerald hung up the phone.
After a while, he dialed Anabelâs number. It didnât take long before Anabel picked up her phone and said, âAre you still alive?â
âSounds like you are disappointed that Iâm still alive,â Gerald pursed his lips and said.
âDonât say that. You are still useful to me.â Anabel was a little speechless. âDid you kill Conor?â
âMaybe,â Gerald said. âBut he was poisoned before he was killed.â
Hearing Geraldâs words, Anabel said nothing.
Although she had already guessed it, she was still astonished when she heard Gerald say so.
He actually killed a supreme Flame Decayer!
Anabel had to calm herself down before asking, âThen what happened to you? You didnât answer your phone.
Are you injured?â
âYes. I was in a coma for a few days. I just woke up,â Gerald said.
âYou just woke up? But we are leaving in a few days. Are you sure you can make it?â Anabel asked.
Gerald was speechless. Sure enough, this woman was more concerned about whether he could be handy to her or not.
âI will go back with you in a few days. There are still a few weeks before the trial. I should get better,â Gerald said.
âThatâs good. Do you need a doctor?â Anabel asked.
âNo need.â
After exchanging a few words with her, Gerald hung up his phone.
Putting the phone aside, Gerald struggled to get up and sat down cross-legged.
Ms. Cat waited outside for a while until she carefully opened the door and saw Gerald sitting cross-legged.
She smiled and went to the kitchen.
