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.
