Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 Close Call

Indeed, Gerald was smiling sinisterly.

In fact, he chose not to strike the final blow, because he sensed something different.

He was already very weak till this point. The side effects of Death Storm were quite huge.

At first, Gerald wanted to use the last chance to die together with one of them. It would be best if it was

Jared or Edric.

Cale was Gerald’s third option.

The reason was that Daphne was Cale’s biological daughter

If possible, Gerald wished he could kill every one of the Thornton family

Yet he couldn’t. He only had one shot to kill one of them. Therefore, due to Daphne, Cale became his last

choice.

Just as Gerald was about to make a move, he felt something surging towards him from beneath the ruins. It

was the Dragon Bones!

During the previous fight, the Dragon Bones, which had been placed on the table at first, fell to the ground

after Gordon slapped the table into pieces.

The reason why Gerald could absorb Dragon Bones had something to do with his blood. As he was thrown into the ruins, his blood sank into the ground and drenched the Dragon Bones. Gerald could feel that the Dragon Bones were desperately trying to break through the ground and fuse into his body.

He figured that perhaps this was his last chance to turn the tables.

Under such circumstances, he gave up the chance of a final blow and slumped down. Although he was weak, and his wounds were killing him, he still tried his best to aim his butt at the place where the Dragon Bones were buried. He hoped to bleed more so that the Dragon Bones could absorb more. In such a way, they might.

be able to break out of the ground.

Meanwhile, when Dylan and the others saw Gerald sitting on the ground weakly, they let out a slight sigh of

relief.

Dylan turned around and glanced at Edric fiercely. Then he said calmly, “Jared, after going back, remove

Edric’s position as the chairman. Cale will be in charge of our family from now on.”

Edric’s expression changed drastically.

Currently, he was in charge of most of the Thornton family’s businesses. Although he and his two brothers

controlled three parts, he still acted in a certain management role for the other two parts. Yet now, judging

from Dylan’s words, all his authorities would be deprived.

“Dylan, I had no choice. If I hadn’t pushed Vernon out, both of us would have died!” Edric hurriedly said.

“You could have taken the initiative to go forward and sacrifice yourself to save your brother. He was your

biological brother after all,” Dylan sighed, shook his head, and looked at Gerald.

“You are better than I thought,” Dylan said lightly “No wonder you dared to come here alone. If Gordon hadn’t been here today, our family might have been exterminated here.”

Gerald sneered and did not say anything.

“Kneel and apologize. Apologize to Jared. You’ve humiliated our family, and you have to pay the price. Apologize, and I will grant you a quick death,” Dylan said.

Gerald was speechless for a second. He thought, seriously? At this point, you’re still thinking about that?

“Come at me with all the tricks you’ve got. Consider I lose if I frown the slightest,” Gerald said disdainfully

“Dylan,” Gordon said. “Just wrap it up. Things might get tricky once the Watchmen are here.”

Dylan frowned. Then he let out a sigh and said, “Fine.”

After that, he walked towards Gerald step by step.

He pointed the cane in his hand, which was used by him as his sword, at Gerald.

“What a shame,” he sighed.

“Do you

really think you can take me down?” suddenly, Gerald smiled.

“What?” Dylan frowned. “Watchmen won’t have any Vital Energy left in their bodies after using Death Storm. They can barely live for long. What do you have to turn over?”

“Well, what you say is true for ordinary people.” Gerald grinned. Then he said, “However, I am not an ordinary

person!

“Bones!” he roared.

“Bang!”

At the same time, an explosive sound suddenly rang out. Three Dragon Bones broke out from the ruins in the

blink of an eye

“Dylan, kill him! Now!” Gordon’s expression changed violently.

“Dragon Bones!” Dylan felt a chill down his spine.

Right now, Gerald was an equal match for Gordon and he combined. What level would Gerald reach after he

absorbed three Dragon Bones? They had no idea.

Dylan’s expression changed drastically. He no longer hesitated and stabbed his sword at Gerald.

“Buzz!”
