Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 589

Chapter 589 I Would Rather Die

Washington. After Gerald escaped from the reporters, he breathed a sigh of relief and took out his phone to call Catherine.

Soon, Catherine answered the phone with a trembling voice, “Hey… Gerald, where are you?”

“I am in Washington. Are you home? I’m coming to you right now,” Gerald said.

Catherine hurriedly said, “Just now, Mr. Thomas asked us to go home and leave Washington with our parents for a place with fewer people, any place. But… When I returned home, there were so many monsters. Some people in black clothes were fighting them, and many died. I am at home with my mother, and we dare not go anywhere.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m not far from your home. I’ll be there soon. Don’t worry, okay? We’ve already taken care of the powerful ones,” Gerald comforted her as he headed towards her home.

It had only been a short period of time since the Elite Ghosts appeared in the sky. But horror had seized almost all the common people.

Gerald was also full of worry. There were too many enemies this time. He did not even know if Night Watch would stand a chance with them!

“Okay, I’ll wait for you. Don’t hang up, okay? I’m so scared!” Catherine pursed her lips.

She was just an ordinary woman. Facing these things, it was normal for her to be scared.

Gerald nodded and said, “Okay, I won’t hang up. I will be there in a minute!”

Once again, he unleashed the Vital Energy in his body and rushed toward Catherine’s home. After about half an hour, he arrived at the neighborhood where Catherine’s home was.

At the entrance of the neighborhood, he saw a devastating scene. There were many corpses on the ground, some ordinary people and some Watchmen.

The bodies of the Watchmen were lying in the blood. Those who survived did not even have time to do anything for the dead because they had to rush to another battlefield.

Gerald gritted his teeth. When he arrived at Catherine’s door and saw that Catherine and her mother were still safe, he finally relaxed a little.

Catherine saw Gerald’s pale face. She quickly went up to him and asked, “Gerald… Are you alright?”

“Yes. I just had a fight with a big guy. I will be fine after a little rest. Just stay at home and put your mind at ease. This area should be safe for now. Check out the news tonight. The news will tell you the whole story,” Gerald said.

“Alright. Then go and get some rest!” Catherine hurriedly said.

Gerald nodded and sat down cross-legged.

He needed to recover some energy as soon as possible and return to the battlefield.

Time passed, and the sky slowly darkened. Soon, it was already around seven in the evening. The street lights of Washington started to come on.

Gerald opened his eyes. He saw Catherine and her mother sitting in the living room. There was still some worry on their faces.

Seeing Gerald wake up, Catherine hurriedly came over and asked, “Feeling alright now?”

Gerald nodded and said, “Yes.”

Then he pressed the earphone in his ear and said, “This is Gerald. I’ve recovered some energy and am ready to return to the battlefield. Please give me the location of the Elite Ghost. I will join you immediately.”

“No need!” Derick said.

His voice was full of fatigue. He said, “After the Red Elite Ghosts were wiped out, the Blue Elite Ghosts seemed to have received some signals. When they left the city, we caught and killed some, but the rest escaped in their aircraft.”

Gerald was stunned. Then, he let out a small sigh and said, “Okay, I know. What are the casualties?”

Gerald’s question was followed by a while of silence. In the end, Derick said in a hoarse voice, “More than half of the Watchmen in Washington are dead. See it on your phone. There is a detailed report about it. Gerald, there is not much time left for you. If you have time now, go to the airport immediately. Your teammates are almost all there. When you arrive, you have to hurry to Europe at once. We’ve got you a state-of-the-art plane. Your mission is to take care of the Gold Elite Ghosts in Europe. Then head to north Australia! These two places have suffered heavy losses.”
