Chapter 368 An Emergency
In the backyard of Roger’s house.
Roger’s house was located on the outskirts of the city. And there were no more buildings nearby. Therefore, the backyard was quite large, which was gradually expended by Roger day after day. The Aubin family grew their own vegetables in the backyard.
Though there weren’t so many vegetables, it was quite common that vegetables were stolen.
In the backyard, Theo asked Gerald with a look of confusion, “You want me to kick your ass? Seriously?”
Gerald nodded and said, “Yes!”
Theo licked his lips and continued, “Fine, you asked for it!”
In fact, members of Night Watch often fought with each other to train their skills.
Theo and the others used to challenge Gerald alone or as a team, but they had never won once. Gerald was too powerful.
Theo, Claude, and Kristen had been meaning to beat Gerald since he was injured and lost his Vital Energy. However, Valery stopped them, fearing that Gerald was too weak to withstand their attack.
Even so, the three of them didn’t want to miss the opportunity to teach Gerald a lesson. To Theo’s surprise, Gerald asked him to beat himself up. Theo clenched his fists, ready to hit Gerald.
Bang.
Suddenly, the window on the second floor opened. Kristen and Claude jumped straight down from the second floor. Claude said, “Boss, Theo’s too weak. If you don’t mind, I’d like to do the honors. I won’t let you down!”
Kristen also quickly said, “Boss, I’m afraid that you asked the wrong person. Theo and Claude don’t have the balls to beat you.
Leave it to me. You don’t wanna underestimate me. I can beat the shit out of you if that’s what you want.”
Kristen and Claude heard the conversation between Gerald and Theo upstairs, so they jumped down directly.
Gerald was lost for words.
“Any of you is fine. Just do it,” Gerald said.
Hearing Gerald’s words, Theo swallowed hard and said excitedly, “How about… the three of us do it together?”
Theo, Claude, and Kristen couldn’t wait to beat Gerald up.
Upstairs, Valery poked her head out of the window, frowning. “All of you stop!” she shouted.
Valery looked at Gerald with a stern face and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Gerald looked up at Valery and replied, “That homeless man… I mean Milo. He told me that if somebody beat me up, I might be able to regain my Vital Energy. The same thing happened to him before, and he recovered after being beaten up.”
Valery was in a daze. “The main reason why you can’t regain your Vital Energy is the protective mechanism of your body. If you’re in a life-threatening condition…” Valery replied in a low voice.
Valery nodded and continued, “That might work.”
After hearing what Valery said, Theo rushed over and shouted, “Boss, take this!”
Theo charged at Gerald and punched him in the stomach.
Bam.
Bam.
Bam.
:
The backyard was dusty. Gerald got beat up by Theo, Claude, and Kristen.
They almost kicked Gerald to death.
Ten more minutes later, Gerald lay on the ground, aching all over.
“Does it work, Boss? Can you feel your power now?” Theo asked.
They didn’t hit Gerald’s face. Instead, they hit Gerald in his vulnerable parts. Though Gerald was good at bearing pain, it was too much for Gerald to bear.
Gerald quickly sat down cross-legged. After a while, Gerald opened his eyes and sighed, “No.”
Gerald looked helpless.
Upstairs, Valery was also disappointed.
However, Theo, Claude, and Kristen seemed excited. They said, “We can do it again. What do you think?”
