Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 986

Chapter 986 Schemes

The feelings of resentment and helplessness overwhelmed him. Gerald experienced it thoroughly!

Gerald had never experienced this before. Even when he faced the head of the Pierce.

family, he was somewhat intimidated but remained relatively firm.

And in all his life, the only other time that Gerald felt this way was before he became a

Watchman.

Back then, Gerald was framed and falsely accused. He cried out to the heavens and the earth, but to no avail, and eventually ended up in prison.

Joining the Night Watch meant having powerful leaders behind him, ruling over the Earth

until Gerald grew strong enough to join their ranks.

Gerald felt that he had a fighting chance in several dire situations that came later.

But at that moment, the person in front of Gerald made him feel truly hopeless.

Gerald was unwilling, but he had to come to terms with it.

As he saw Carolyn also stepping forward, Gerald sighed inwardly.

“Boss, no need to fear them. If it meant for us to die, then we’ll die with honor!” Theo

unsheathed his saber and yelled, “Let’s fight them to the end.”

A scoffing voice sounded. “You guys, the girl told us to fight, but at least you still have

your lives. Get lost now!”

Fueled by rage, Theo was on the verge of unleashing his Death Storm.

Gerald quickly called out, “Hold on!”

Gerald then faced Hector and Triston and instructed them, “Take them to the City of

Phoenix. I’ll come find you all later.”

Hector’s brow furrowed, but he nodded anyway.

After that, Gerald instructed Jacob, “Jacob, I’m leaving the affairs of the City of Phoenix

to you.”

Peering out from another hover car, Jacob stared at Gerald before clenching his teeth and saying, “All right!”

“Boss!” Kristen and the others shouted.

Gerald commanded with a serious tone, “Obey my orders!”

Gerald realized that any attempt at resistance would only lead to a massacre, with no

other alternatives possible.

Gerald thought that if it was only him and Carolyn that stayed, there could still be a possibility of turning things around. Even if they decided to run away, the two of them

would have a better chance of escaping.

Upon hearing Gerald’s command, everyone fell silent.

Gerald instructed again, “Time to leave; get in the car!”

Everyone else remained silent, and then Triston gritted his teeth and yelled, “Come on,

get in the car now!”

After saying that, Triston turned around and yelled at Gerald, “Make sure you get to the

City of Phoenix safely.”

The group of people did not seem interested in interrupting them and simply watched silently, with even the man with a square face remaining silent. Gerald could not read this type of person and felt powerless, wishing he was stronger.

Gerald did not expect to encounter such a person so early.

Gerald did not place the blame on that person. If he had to blame someone, it would be Skyler Mahoney. Skyler owed him his life but betrayed him at this crucial moment.

Vroom!

The car started.

Valery stood alongside Gerald. Gerald’s brow furrowed as he was about to speak, but Valery shook her head and looked at him with a determined gaze, suggesting that they would die together.

The two cars started slowly and drove in the direction of the City of Phoenix.
