Chapter 96 The Temporary Base of Night Watch âI called Ms. Lange. She said that she would fix it,â Gerald said, touching his nose.
Lilia suddenly quieted down, including Jolie. They all looked at Gerald in shock.
Liliaâs voice was heavy with sarcasm. âGerald, do you think itâs funny? Youâre going to tell us later that you donât have time, right?â
Beep, beep, beep...
At this time, Drakeâs phone suddenly rang. Drake quickly picked up his phone and looked at it. He picked up the call and said, âHello.â
âHello, this is Goldsun Group. Just now, Ms. Lange saw the information you handed over. He wants to meet you at the company at ten oâclock tomorrow morning. Do you have time?â A pleasant girlâs voice sounded from the phone.
âYes, yes!â Drake hurriedly said.
After hanging up the phone, Drake looked at Gerald, then looked at Lilia and said, âLilia, Goldsun Group said that they have seen the information I handed over. They are willing to meet me tomorrow morning!â
Yazmin and Mason looked happy. Yazmin hurriedly smiled and said, âLook, Gerald really knows Ms. Lange. We are all family. If we can help you, we will definitely do that.
You have to trust us.â
Gerald was speechless. If he were not considering his parentsâ feelings, he would not help at all.
Drake smiled at first, then stood up and said, âMason, you seem to be mistaken. Just now, Goldsun Group said that Ms. Lange looked at my information and asked me to meet her. It seems that it has nothing to do with Gerald. As Lilia said, Gerald has been in prison for nine years. With your help, he entered Goldsun Group. I donât believe that he has such connections. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Coincidentally, Gerald pretended to make a phone call and Ms. Lange saw my information.â
Lilia hurriedly nodded. âThatâs right. Ms. Lange was willing to meet after seeing Drakeâs information. It proves that they are optimistic about Drakeâs project. Stop pretending here.â
âYes. Did you just say we are family? Itâs fine if you are not willing to help, but you are lying to us,â Lilia said. âIâm going to introduce a blind date to Gerald. Forget it. When Drake gets the investment of Goldsun Group and succeeds, he will marry Jolie.
When the time comes, you will come and beg us to help you!â
Gerald narrowed his eyes and looked at Drake. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Yazmin and Masonâs expressions changed slightly. Mason sighed and said, âForget it. I donât want to explain it.â
âHumph!â Lilia got up, pulled Jolie, and said, âJolie, Drake, letâs go!â
With that, the three of them turned and left the room.
Jolie didnât even say a word, but she looked at Gerald with a strange expression.
After they left, Yazmin looked at Gerald suspiciously and asked, âGerald, were you pretending to call just now or...â
Gerald spread his hands and said, âDad, Mom, donât you know? I went to work at Universe Group by myself. Lilia and the others thought that we were just acting. What can I do? I did get to know Ms. Lange by chance. Our relationship is not bad. Just now, called her, and she agreed.â
Gerald frowned and said, âThere is something wrong with Drake. We canât let Jolie continue to be with him.â
He took out his phone and said, âI will call Jessica and ask her to cancel the meeting with Drake.â
Yazmin quickly said, âGerald, forget it. If Lilia knows about it, she will probably completely fall out with us.â
I Gerald frowned. He knew that his parents treasured their family too much. Gerald did not want to go against his parents, so he sighed slightly and put away his phone. Gerald replied, âAlright.â
Yazmin said, âBy the way, the day after tomorrow is your grandmotherâs 80th birthday. Ever since you had an accident, your grandmother has been talking about you. After you came back, you didnât have the chance to go and see her. We can go together the day after tomorrow.â
Mason nodded and answered, âI will go to Mr. Hanson tomorrow to ask for a day off. Then I will give you some money and buy some gifts for your grandmother.â
Gerald thought of his grandmother and smiled.
His grandmother had been very good to him since he was young. He nodded and said, âOkay, but I have money. You donât have to give it to me.â
Mason nodded and said, âAlright, go to your room. Iâll watch TV and go to sleep.â
Gerald nodded and returned to his room.
He calmed himself down and began to cultivate cross-legged.
In a mountain village near Sacramento, this place was a temporary base for Night Watch in Sacramento. There were not many people in this place, probably only a few hundred people, forming a small village. Although it was small, it was built very exquisitely.
Because they were temporarily carrying out a mission yesterday, they stayed in Sacramento for one night and just returned to the village now.
Irene and the others sat in the car and looked around.
There were many people carrying sabers walking back and forth. As they moved forward, Irene and the other two in the car were completely stunned.
Inside, there were people fighting. When they fought, the saber light flashed, as if it was something that happened in a movie.
They also personally saw one of them shatter a stone with a single punch.
Although they had been informed beforehand, when they actually saw it, their hearts were still filled with horror. They could not imagine that there was such a mysterious organization in this world.
What shocked Irene was that her ex-husband was once one of the most powerful people in this group.
However, she chose to divorce him because she despised him for being poor.
Now it seemed that she had done something really stupid.
At this time, several people came over. When Dennis got out of the car, someone asked, âCaptain, where is Watchman No. o?â
âHe hasnât returned to Night Watch yet. Even if he is back, he is not in our squad. Why are you so anxious?â Dennis scolded.
âWe havenât seen each other for three years. And many new members want to see Watchman No. o!â a young man with cropped hair chuckled. âIâm not bragging. Back then, Watchman No. 0 and I entered Night Watch together. He always treated me with respect.â
The small squad of Dennis belonged to the No. 1,176 team of Night Watch. Gerald was once a member of the squad.
The man who spoke was called Hamza Brome. He joined the squad with Gerald at the time.
âYouâre bragging. Every time you are on a mission, you are always hiding at the back!â
âYes, you are good at bragging.â
âHey, Captain, why did you bring back two girls?â At this time, a suspicious voice sounded. âCaptain, why didnât you bring me to brothels?â
âGo to hell!â Dennis scolded. âDonât talk nonsense. This is Geraldâs ex-wife and ex-mother-in-law!â
âDamn, Dr. Manning was referring to this mother and daughter, right? They said before that Gerald was poor and then kicked him out,â Hamza said exaggeratedly. âThere are people who call Gerald poor! Iâve never met a richer man than Gerald.â
In an instant, everyone looked into the car window.
From the car window, Irene and the other two had strange expressions.
They could see endless ridicule in these peopleâs eyes.
It was as if saying that Gerald was very poor was a big joke.
âAlright, stop joking around. Arrange two female members to talk to them. The others, prepare to go to Sacramento and carry out a mission!â Dennis waved his hand.
âMission?â Hamza said excitedly. âWhat mission?â
Dennisâs eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said in a serious tone, âWe found traces of Watchman No. 2. Capture her and bring her back!â
