“Well, from the looks of it, they either graduated from the police academy or they’ve undergone some military training,” said Drake as he took a few puffs of his cigarette.
“Both of you are really something… It’s amazing how much you can find out about a person just by looking at them. Her name is Maia and she graduated from the police academy. She’s now part of the police force’s criminal department and she’s pretty good at her job!”
“Well, since she’s your classmate, we’ll just say this, Gerald. This friend of yours, along with her colleagues. They may be in for some trouble tonight!” replied Tyson after getting the clarification that he needed.
“…Huh?” Gerald was stunned.
“When they rushed out earlier, I saw two people following them. Both of them had a weapon strapped to their sides, and they exuded equal amounts of murderous auras. I’m pretty sure that the duo following your classmate has undergone military training before. Worst come to worst, there’s a possibility that they’re both experienced killers well!” said Tyson.
Gerald wouldn’t have believed such a claim if it wasn’t Tyson telling him about it.
Earlier, Gerald himself had watched Maia and the others rush out but he hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. .
‘Still, who am I to compare myself to Tyson regarding such things’ Gerald thought to himself.
Either way, Gerald was at least sure that the two people mentioned weren’t here to play any games.
It was true that Gerald wasn’t really all that close to Maia. After all, they were barely friends back in high school. However, no matter what the case was, they were still ex-classmates.
How could he rest easy if he didn’t save her after knowing that something bad would happen to her?
However, Gerald was certain at that moment that he didn’t want to expose his identity yet. After all, keeping it a secret would allow him to do a lot more things in the future!
He now had a plan in mind. After discussing the plan with Tyson and Drake, Gerald immediately rushed toward the bar where Maia had gone to.
By the time he arrived, Maia and the others had already started drinking. They were now seated in front of a poker table.
