Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659 A Remote Mountain Village

Their destination was Chicago, a city that Gerald had never been to before.

After arriving at the airport, the Night Watch arranged a bus and picked them up.

They had to stay in a low profile because Gerald and the others were quite popular now. Their names spread throughout the world in a month. People would gather around if they saw them.

There was a lot of wine packed with bags on the bus.

It was Milo’s demand. The wine that he had collected had been drunk up by Blaine, so he asked Gerald to tell the Night Watch to prepare some wine for him.

Milo, who was addicted to alcohol, couldn’t live without wine at all.

The man who picked them up was the person in charge of the Night Watch in Chicago. He was Jaquan Hartman, the Watchman No. 89, who led his team to be in charge of the safety of Chicago.

He and Gerald were peers, but compared to Gerald and the others, the speed of his improvement was much slower.

“Ever since you disappeared three years ago, we haven’t talked to each other like this.” Jaquan sat next to Gerald and sighed. “When we entered the Night Watch together, I didn’t expect you to reach this level one day.”

Indeed, they had very few chances to meet each other, including a few battles they had been through. Although he and Jaquan were in the same battle, they had their own roles and did not have time to greet each other.

Gerald looked at him with a smile and asked, “How far are you from the super level?”

“Too far.” Jaquan curled his lips and said, “It’s not like everyone is as abnormal as you guys. I’m just an ordinary person among the ordinary top. I’m probably still far from the super level. Maybe I can never reach it in this lifetime.”

Yes, not everyone had that kind of incredible talents like Gerald and the others. Their talents were too rare.

“Speaking of which, did you come to Chicago for your mission? Did someone hide inside the mountain?” Jaquan was alert when he asked.

Gerald shook his head and said, “I can’t tell you the details.”

“I understand. There aren’t many missions that can make Team 11762 out. It’s probably a big mission. Never mind. I contacted the place you were going to in the farthest village. That place is probably the most backward and closed area in this country. I contacted a villager over there. His name is Aarav Galloway. When you arrive, go to find him. The roads over there are not for cars. I’m afraid that you will have to get there on foot.” Jaquan explained to Gerald and the others.

Gerald nodded and said, “No problem.”

“If you want to go deeper, you will see the real face of the mountains. It is like a primitive forest with many insects and bugs that you have never seen. You guys have to be careful,” Jaquan reminded.

“Aren’t you coming with us?” Theo asked.

“I can’t. There aren’t many Watchmen in Chicago. If the Elite Ghost landed when I was away, it would be a disaster.” Jaquan sighed. “I still envy you Sacramento guys. There are so many people from Sin City. Just a few top experts can make my life easier.”

“Those who came from Sin City should be gathered in the same place,” Claude said.

After driving for two to three hours, they drove on a dirt road and arrived in a rural area. They stopped in front of a stone road. Then, Jaquan handed Gerald a paper and said, “This is the map. I have marked all the places with a fork in this road with a red mark Just follow the red fork”

Gerald nodded and said, “Alright. When we come out from here, I will buy you a drink.”

“Save it. I know you’re a toper. But I can bring you to eat some of the local delicacies here. The taste is not bad,” Jaquan said with a chuckle.

After chatting, Gerald jumped out of the car.

He tidied up his backpack and sword.

His sword was placed in a box, which was custom-made during that month when he was in Sacramento. The other people also custom-made such a box to place their swords. After tidying up, they bid farewell to Jaquan and walked along the path.

They walked for another three to four hours.

“Shit. This is too far.” Theo couldn’t help but sit on a stone and say, “Let’s take a rest.”

Gerald nodded and said, “Let’s take a break.”

They were all top experts. But they had been walking for four hours, yet they still hadn’t arrived. It could be seen how far this village was.

Valery took out the map and said, “We are getting close. This village is called ‘Estasate”. It will take three or four hours. to walk to the nearest town or market. I didn’t expect there to be such a remote place in this city.”

There were also some introductions about Estasate on the map. There were a total of ninety-six households and more than four hundred people in Estasate. There were very few people who went out to work in this village. The farthest place they reached in their lives was the nearest town.
