Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 862

Chapter 862 Each With Their Own Ulterior Motives

Anabel had a point. It was true that Gerald couldn’t kill Anabel now. Also, Anabel had something on Gerald.

So he said through gritting teeth, “Help you with what?

“And before you say anything, you should know that I’ll only help you this once!” Gerald repeated, “If you ever threaten me with this again, I will kill you regardless of the consequences.”

Anabel was delighted!

Then she looked at Gerald and said, “I am going to enroll in a trial organized by my tribe, which will take place half a month later. The thing is, I have to form a team to qualify for that, with all the team members under the age of 30 and at the level of Half-Step Flame Decay or something even higher.”

A look of something like “tell me about more flashed across Gerald’s eyes.

“What kind of trial?” Gerald asked.

“It’s a trial among the eight forces. As long as you’re a member of them who is also under 30 and at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay, you can partake.” Anabel looked at Gerald and continued, “But you have to tell people that you are my subordinate once you’re in. That way, I will be able to get into the Corona Pool and cultivate there for ten days so as to become a Flame Decay level achiever. I mean, if we can make it into the top ten, of course.

“And to repay you, I will take you into the Corona Pool as well. I know you’re already a Flame Decay level achiever. But you can still improve your attribute in the Corona Pool. Trust me. You won’t regret,” Anabel exhaled and said.

Gerald’s expression changed slightly. Despite not having heard of the pool, he decided that it would be a good place to cultivate according to what Anabel said.

Since getting to the next level was actually something achievable for him, he thought he might as well take advantage of the pool so as to level up himself.

“Well… Will it be difficult to make it to the top ten?” Gerald asked.

Anabel answered, “With you joining hands, it’s not beyond our reach. And if I am lucky enough to find two more peak Half-Step Flame Decay level achievers as our teammates, I would have more faith!”

Gerald gave a little coughed and said, “What if I get you all the three? That should work, right?”

Anabel looked at Gerald in shock, and then her expression got bright. “You can find two more for me?”

“That’s beside the point. What I am asking is, can we make it to the top ten if I find two more guys for you?” Gerald said.

Anabel answered, “With three Flame Decay level achievers, we can make it into the top ten. Actually, I think. we might be able to get first place.”

“Will there be a lot of contenders?” Gerald asked.

Anabel replied, “Only a small minority of people have achieved the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay before they were thirty. It’s the case even in Havotune, where, I assume, there are only over one hundred of them. So, in my opinion, the number of these achievers who will participate, along with their teammates, would add up to around 500 people.”

“And the winners get to cultivate, right?” Gerald asked again.

Anabel looked at Gerald, only to find that Gerald was a little tempted. Therefore, she nodded and continued, “Once you win, you will become my subordinate. That will qualify you for the cultivation you want. And I promise I won’t get in your way of your cultivation. I mean, you being subordinated to me is just nominal!*

Gerald became happy upon hearing that.

He thought, if that’s the case, then maybe I will be able to confront the Four Ancient Families.

Moreover, Carolyn and Triston joining me in that will only serve the interests of the two. I mean, they will for sure become stronger.

And if they decide to bring along Valery, Valery then can become a Flame Decay level achiever as well.

He pondered for a moment and then looked at Anabel. “All right. But I have one condition, which is that you should let me go find the other two participants!”

Her expression changing slightly, Anabel asked, “You can do that?”

Gerald nodded. “I will find one Flame Decay level achiever and one peak Half-Step Flame Decay level achiever, both of which are not yet thirty years old!”

Hearing that, Anabel was ecstatic. But she didn’t lose her cool. “Deal. Seven days later, you will have to go. back with me.”
