Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 664

Chapter 664 A Strange Woman

Gerald glanced at him. There was nothing wrong with Aarav’s words. It seemed like he wasn’t lying. He just wanted to use Gerald.

Anyway, he needed Aarav to lead the way. It was not a problem for him to get some benefits.

The Bone of Eternity and jade looked similar, and their quality was good. What about selling it? It could be sold for a good price.

But it would be a waste if the bone became a collection, Gerald thought that if Aarav picked some bones, he could buy them from him at a reasonable price for Watchmen.

As they talked, they returned to the red-brick house up the mountain. Aarav said, “A villager died. I have to take care of that after cooking for you. You can eat at my place with my wife.”

“Your wife is not going to the village with you?” Gerald asked in surprise.

“My wife rarely goes out, and she doesn’t like to talk to the villagers,” Aarav said with a smile.

Gerald did not say anything. Then they reached the house. Aarav went to the kitchen to cook. Gerald went upstairs and was to tell his people about the bones. Just as he went upstairs, he heard snores. He ran to the room and looked around, only to find his people lying on the bed, asleep.

Gerald was speechless. He stepped out of the room and sat down on a wooden chair on the second floor.

He just sat down when Isla stood at the door to the pink room. She had a faint smile, which made her look strange.

“What? Did someone die in the village?” Isla asked with a smile.

Gerald was surprised. “How did you know?”

“I heard firecrackers just now,” she said.

Gerald was stunned.

In the country, because villagers lived far from each other, when something happened, firecrackers would be set off as a reminder. The sound of firecrackers was loud enough to be heard from far away. After everyone heard it, they knew what was going on.

This tradition still existed because of the bad signal in the villager. Moreover, firecrackers would be set off in different ways. The length and the sonority of the sound for a wedding and a funeral were different.

“Are you going to the mountains?” Isla asked as she ruffled her hair.

“Did Aarav tell you that?” Gerald asked.

“No. I am used to it. Every year, there will be some people who come to find my husband and ask him to take them into the mountains.” Speaking of this, Isla smiled evilly and said, “But not all of them can come back, and that’s how my husband makes money.”

“It sounds like you are an expert.” Gerald chuckled.

Isla took the initiative to walk over and sat down next to Gerald.

Gerald didn’t know if she wore perfume, but a strange fragrance came from her.

“You young people are just bored of the peaceful life in cities. You want to explore when you have nothing to do. But it comes with danger. If something happens, you will not have a chance to react. I like all of you, so I advise you to go back,” Isla said.

Gerald was surprised. It seemed that she did not go to the town with Aarav and did not know about Watchmen.

He said noncommittally, “We are mentally prepared. If there is nothing else, I will go back to my room.”

Isla was surprised. “Why? Are you shy from chatting with me?”
