Chapter 276 Claude Caldwell
Hearing Gerald’s words, Colby let out a long sigh of relief and said, “Damn it. My dad was so scared just now.”
Gerald was amused. He looked at Colby and said, “Don’t let your dad hear this. Alright, you can go back now. I will go back to my place too. As for the Dragon Bone in the Frey family, forget it. It’s fine
if I can’t get it now.”
Indeed, Gerald would try his best to fight for the Dragon Bones. But he was also a Watchman, and he
would not force others to give him what he wanted.
Therefore, if the Frey family was really unwilling to give the Dragon Bone to Gerald, Gerald couldn’t do anything else but accept the result. If the Frey family was willing to give it to Gerald, Gerald would give them some benefit. Gerald would not take it for free!
Gerald’s relationship with the Frey family was not as good as his relationship with Abraham.
Abraham almost regarded Gerald as his own child. Meanwhile, Gerald respected Abraham very
much.
“Beep…” At this time, Colby’s phone rang. He picked up his phone and looked at the screen. He said to Gerald, “It’s my dad’s call.”
“How is it?” Arthur asked Colby on the phone. “Have you caught up to Gerald?”
“Yes,” Colby replied quickly. “Dad, don’t worry. What Gerald said just now was just to disgust Sam and the others. He didn’t really intend to do something to us.”
When Arthur heard this, he let out a long breath and said, “Let Gerald come back. Sam has compromised.”
“Really?” Colby said. “OK, I will take him back immediately!”
Then, Colby looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, my dad asked you to go back with me first. He said that Sam had compromised.”
Gerald’s expression changed slightly. He guessed something. Arthur probably had told Sam and the others of Gerald’s background after Gerald left.
Of course, Gerald could understand it as well. After all, that matter was related to the future of the
Frey family.
Gerald could ignore all his properties and money, but the Frey family couldn’t.
Gerald and Colby returned to Arthur’s office. At this time, Sam and Lance had complicated expressions on their faces. They looked at Gerald with their eyes full of fear and vigilance.
Sam gritted his teeth, picked up a cup of coffee, and said, “Gerald, I’m sorry. We really didn’t know
1/3
your background before, so we said those words. We really don’t have any intention of offending the Night Watch…”
Gerald looked at Sam indifferently and asked, “So, if I were not a Watchman and was just an ordinary person, I would be beaten up by Randall, or even die in vain, right?”
“I…” Sam did not expect Gerald to ask him such a question. His body trembled, and he quickly said,
“This is my fault. I will educate Randall well in the future. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
Gerald waved his hand and said, “Alright, I don’t want to know about your family matters.
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Gerald and said, “Well, Gerald, you should come to our house for dinner tonight. Monica has been looking forward to playing with you. After dinner, I will give you the Dragon Bone. Actually, it is useless for us to keep it.”
Gerald shook his head and said, “I won’t take it for free. How about this? In exchange, I will return all my shares of Apex Group to you. At the same time, I also owe you one. If you don’t violate the law and morality, no matter what your request is, I will do you a favor!”
Hearing this, Arthur was stunned at first. Then he became ecstatic.
Compared to the five percent shares of Apex Group, Gerald’s favor was more valuable to Arthur. To a certain extent, as long as Gerald was still alive, he was the Frey family’s strongest backer!
Arthur swallowed his saliva and looked at Gerald, saying, “Thank you!”
Gerald smiled and said, “You don’t have to say thanks. See you tonight. I’ll be leaving first!”
