Chapter 872 Ms. Cat Leaves The minutes were ticking away. Two hours later, Gerald opened his eyes again.
Just as he opened his eyes, he saw that in the other direction of the room, Ms. Cat was sitting there and stroking a cat with her fair hand.
âHow is it?â Seeing Gerald wake up, she asked with a smile.
âIâve recovered some of my Vital Energy. Iâm afraid it will take some time to recover from my injuries,â Gerald said. âIâm just... a little hungry!â
âI know youâre hungry. I cooked. Enjoy your food,â Ms. Cat said with a smile.
Gerald got up from bed. Although he was still weak, he could walk. Just a slight movement would cause terrible pain in his chest.
The injury caused by that palm was relatively serious.
When Ms. Cat saw this, she moved to Geraldâs side to support him.
âMeow!â
The cat complained. Her hair suddenly changed several colors, as if she was very unhappy that her owner had abandoned her.
Ms. Cat smiled and helped Gerald to the dining room to sit down. Then, she removed the lids, and the food revealed itself.
Gerald glanced at it. It looked good.
âYour cooking surprised me,â Gerald said with a smile.
âMy deceased husband loved the dishes I cooked.â Ms. Cat smiled proudly.
Geraldâs expression changed slightly.
He thought, deceased husband?
He caught two pieces of information. Ms. Cat was a person with a story.
A person with a husband, no wonder her figure was so hot.
Gerald tasted it. It tasted good.
âWhat do you plan to do next?â At this time, Ms. Cat suddenly asked.
Geraldâs expression changed. He said, âWhat plan?â
âWill you continue to stay in the City of Phoenix? Right now, people from the Four Ancient Families are investigating us. Before I decided to assassinate Conor, I had been to Worldly Wonderland. Thus, they have a record of my appearance. If being investigated, it will be troublesome,â Ms. Cat said.
Hearing this, Gerald looked at Ms. Cat suspiciously.
As if she had read Geraldâs thoughts, Ms. Cat looked at Gerald and said with a half-smile, âI picked up some special skills in Worldly Wonderland. Do you want to experience it? You are injured. You donât need to move. Just lie there. I can make you comfortable.â
Gerald almost spat out the food in his mouth. He coughed twice âYou men are all the same. I know what you are thinking when your eyelids move,â Ms. Cat curled her lips and said âThese stinky men are not qualified to sleep in the same bed with me Every time I enter a room, I will think of a way to make them faint The poison can not only paralyze them but also make then fall into a dream. Most men just sleep and leave. They canât touch me at all.â
Only then did Gerald understand âOf course, if it was you, the owner of Dragon Bone, I could consider sleeping with you. If I get pregnant, it will be quite good to have a child with Dragon Bone.â Ms. Cat looked at Gerald seductively.
Gerald coughed and said, âItâs better not!â
âHmph!â Ms. Cat looked at Gerald and said. âLetâs get to the point. Your appearance should have been recorded. Do you want to leave the City of Phoenix for a while?â
âAre you planning to leave?â Gerald asked.
Ms. Cat nodded. âYes! I have already handed in the mission. I will be back at the end of the year, leaving for about nine months.
By then, I will directly attend the end-of-year meeting of Rho Guild. What about you? Do you want to leave with me?â
Gerald shook his head and said, âI wonât leave. I still have some things to do. The risk of me being exposed is not very high.â
âYouâre right. The City of Phoenix has a population of 500 million. Not many working in Worldly Wonderland saw you. It will be difficult to find you,â Ms. Cat shook her head and said. âBe careful. I hope that when I come back, you will still be alive!â
âI must be alive!â Gerald chuckled.
Ms. Cat ate her food in small mouthfuls. After a while, she looked up and said, âAs far as I know, lots of Flame Decayers of the Four Ancient Families have died during this period, including the two assassinated by Rho Guild. Did you kill them?â
âWhat is it?â Gerald asked.
âIs there any hatred between you and the Four Ancient Families?â Ms. Cat asked.
Gerald smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that Gerald did not answer, Ms. Cat stopped asking.
They chatted casually. After dinner, Ms. Cat did the dishes. âDo you need me to send you back?â
âYes. That will be great!â Gerald smiled.
They went out. Ms. Cat drove a hover car and sent Gerald to the house he rented. When they got out of the car, Gerald frowned and said, âThe city is under lockdown now. How can you get out?â
âShadow will take me out. As for denouncing Shadow, you have to leave it to yourself,â Ms. Cat said. âAlthough I am also unhappy, he can send me out of the city.â
âI see!â Gerald nodded and said.
âThen... Weâll meet again at the end of the year.â Ms. Cat smiled.
Gerald got out of the car and watched her car leave. Then he covered his chest and slowly walked home.
The City of Phoenix was filled with a serious atmosphere. There were still many pedestrians, and most people were still busy living.
Of course, there were more City Defenders and more from the Four Ancient Families.
Gerald had a calm expression. He carried his Dragon Saber on his back. After walking around, he arrived at the building where the rented house was. Then he waited for the elevator.
After waiting for a while, he was stunned. He saw a beautiful figure walking over with a man on her arm. This beautiful figure was Geraldâs landlord.
âWhatâs going on?â Gerald looked at them suspiciously.
Shyla seemed to recognize Gerald. A hint of guilt flashed across her face, and then she nodded to Gerald as a greeting.
Gerald was completely confused.
He remembered that Triston was pursuing Shyla. Why was Shyla with another man? Judging from the situation, they should be together!
Shyla held that manâs hand, and that manâs hand was around Shylaâs waist.
Gerald looked at the man who was in his forties. He was a super expert. To be precise, he almost reached the level of Half-Step Flame Decay. He might be as good as a Red Elite Ghost.
Just as Gerald was puzzled, the elevator arrived. Gerald looked at them and then walked into the elevator.
