Chapter 527 Riya Tyler
Francisco’s heart skipped a beat violently. Gerald’s gaze made him feel a chill down his spine.
“Francisco, keep it in your mind. The first time, I was framed by Perrin. And this is the second time,” Gerald said in a calm tone. “Keep your guys’ mouths shut. I don’t want it to happen a third time. You know what? I am holding back my anger at you guys. Perrin is dead, but there is something that I will never forget. I believe that you know pretty well who tried to divide Night Watch. What Blaine and I did was to get rid of these Elite Ghosts. As for your struggling for the power of Night Watch, I’m not interested at all.”
With that, Gerald’s gaze turned cold again. “But, if anyone attempts to degenerate Night Watch, I will kill him myself.”
The matter of Perrin was fomented into the fact that Gerald had been expelled from Night Watch by voting, but it was not that simple behind the scenes.
The Watchmen suspected that Blaine wanted to unify Night Watch, so they voted Gerald out on a trumped-up charge. And Blaine only had the strength of one saber strike. If Blaine died, who would be beneficial the most?
The American Night Watch would lose both Blaine and Gerald.
The third-ranked person on the Sun List was a member of the European Night Watch. Perrin had the title of Watchman, but he did not get involved in the business of Europe.
Kadin was ranked fourth, but he was not a member of Night Watch. And the second-ranked Davis was in Sin City.
It was clear that if all of that happened, the European Night Watch would be beneficial the most, and it would be Francisco.
So Francisco must have known about the series of actions taken by the European Night Watch back then. Gerald even suspected that there was a certain cooperation between Francisco and Perrin.
After Perrin died, there were only a few Watchmen at the super level, so Blaine and Gerald just let them be when they did not cross the bottom line.
Francisco’s expression changed slightly at what Gerald said.
Brice frowned, but he did not say anything else.
They had intended to argue with Gerald on which side was right. Unexpectedly, it ended up like this. They did not come to a conclusion. Instead, they were scolded fiercely by Gerald, and they did not know what to do.
The key point was that they could not refute it yet.
And the person lying on the stretcher looked miserable at this moment.
As a Watchman, he had some properties in the ordinary world. Most Watchmen could live a wealthy life after they retired.
But now, all of his assets would be confiscated, and he would be expelled from Night Watch.
He was having a big headache.
Most of the Watchmen’s properties were entrusted to professionals to manage. They were on the battlefield all year round, so they were not very good at running businesses.
Of course, Gerald had learned a lot of skills during his missions. It was not difficult for him to find a job, but… he did not have a diploma.
Under the circumstances of the loss of his property, if Gerald went back, he would probably have to take a job as a bodyguard. It was a humiliation for a Watchman.
“I have something to discuss with Gerald. You can leave now.” Blaine waved his hand and said indifferently.
Francisco breathed out slowly, bowed to Blaine again, and said, “I’m sorry.”
After Francisco left, Blaine looked at Gerald silently and then said, “Kid, you really are a troublemaker. You just came here, and you confronted the European Watchmen head to head again.”
Zackary waved his hand and said, “Forget it. Let’s talk about something else. Gerald, what do you think of this group of Elite Ghosts?”
“You mean, they stay still up there, not making a fuss in ordinary cities or attacking us but just hiding up there?” Gerald asked.
Zackary nodded and said, “Yes. It has been five days. Except for a few tentative attacks between us, they have always been staying up there.”
Gerald exhaled slowly and said, “I have no idea what they are going to do, but I am sure that the Elite Ghosts’ civilization is more advanced than us humans. According to our speculation, their purpose of coming here is most probably for those bones. After all, Blood Lotus has been collecting these bones over these days, and this time, they stay up there…’
Speaking of this, Gerald looked at Blaine and said, “What was the situation when you cut down those Gold Elite Ghosts back then? Did they also stay still like this?”
