Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Gerald’s Disappearance

Gerald felt extremely terrible. He was in fragile health.

Apart from being badly injured, he wore out after using Death Storm. He couldn’t hold on for long..

Gerald’s power surged as he absorbed the Dragon Bone, but it wouldn’t last

He was unable to deal with those who were at the top level, so he chose to slip away.

Gerald took the chance to run away from Saint Manor since the people there were afraid to fight against him for the time being. Death Storm he used before was a great deterrent for them.

Gerald had achieved his goal. His ability enhanced a lot after he absorbed the three bones in the Thornton’s

home.

Given he had killed Dylan with one slash, he could get the two bones from Charles.

Sure enough, he had to get out alive at first.

The people behind him regained their senses and began to chase up after a brief moment of shock.

If he was in his peak condition, it would be easy for Gerald to get rid of them. However, he was weak. He had no way but to run along the remote stretches.

He did not know how long it had been. As he escaped, his wounds kept oozing blood. He had no idea how

long he could hold on.

Gerald felt desperate. He thought, it took me a lot of effort to escape. I can’t bleed to death.

He didn’t look back to see if those people could overtake him or not. He only wanted to run as far as possible. Finally, he became exhausted and fell to the ground. He tried his best to keep himself awake.

His two bloodstained knives fell beside him.

It was an isolated forest, and there was no highway.

There came footsteps from behind him.

In a daze, he wanted to look up to see who it was, but he had no strength and failed. Then, he felt a thick and

powerful hand holding him.

Gerald could hardly keep his eyes open anymore. He passed out.

Gerald had been running for more than three hours since he escaped from Saint Manor. During that period, Triston, Valery, and Macy returned to their residence. Valery took out the key and opened Gerald’s room. Then, they rushed in.

Surprisingly, there was no one inside.

Gerald had gone out.

“Go and search for Gerald’s knives.” Valery was a little uneasy

They searched the entire room, but they were unable to find any of Gerald’s weapons.

Valery’s face instantly turned pale. She tried to keep calm and said, “Check the cars in the garage.”

Not long after, they came out of the garage in disappointment. Both the cars of Gerald and Carolyn had disappeared

Macy said, “Gerald has taken his knives. He probably has met someone strong. Is it Dax?” As her expression changed, she continued, “Would he go to Europe? The Dempsey family is there, right?”

Valery changed her expression as well, and then she took out her phone.

She had been calling Gerald before she arrived in Washington, but she failed to reach him.

She dialed Troy’s number Soon, Troy answered the phone and asked, “Dr Manning, what’s the matter?”

Valery said in a trembling voice, “Hurry up and contact all the people Gerald knows in Washington. I want to confirm whether he was in Washington today or yesterday. Go and check where the two cars of Gerald and Carolyn are. Besides, let the Dark Net investigate if there are conflicts breaking out in Washington. They can

broaden the area.”

After that, Valery hung up and sat down on the sofa.

Triston couldn’t help feeling jealous as Valery was so anxious because of Gerald.

Triston loved Valery. Although he was worried about Gerald as well, he didn’t want Valery to be upset due to

another man.

“Dr Manning, Gerald is a super expert. Few people can defeat him. You shouldn’t be too anxious,” Triston

comforted.

Valery ignored Triston’s words and focused on the messages she received.

Blaine replied, “I see. Anyway, he doesn’t die. It’s good enough. Take a photo of him. I want to know his

condition.”

“He

went missing again. Valery’s voice broke on the last word.

On the other end of the line, there was a moment of silence.

On the boundless sea, there was a huge island floating above. Although the island was isolated, there were

modern cities and towns inside.

A huge building was located in the center of Sin City. Actually, it could be considered a manor As the center of Sin City, there were supposed to be dense buildings around it. However, the situation was different. The huge building seemed to be in a large deserted park.

There were very few people.

Carolyn stood at the gate of the park.

A man in a suit and glasses was not far away from her. The colors of his hair and eyes were different from

Carolyn’s. Clearly, he was from another country.

He wore a smile and said to Carolyn, “Ms. Berry, you’d better leave right away. Mr. Burris doesn’t want to meet

you.”

Carolyn didn’t want to leave and said urgently, “Please tell him that I am Carolyn, a friend of Gerald Kenneth.”

The man in a suit at the gate replied with a smile, “I know you. Mr. Burris doesn’t want to see Gerald as well.

Otherwise, he will fail to control himself from chopping Gerald to death.”

Carolyn frowned.

What had happened between Gerald and the man they mentioned in Sin City occurred to Carolyn.

“In private, I can give you a suggestion. Ms. Berry, if you were here for those brats who just went to the island,

you can go to the Eastern District,” the man in a suit said with a gentle smile.
