Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 1080 Undercurrents Stirring

Gerald was still in a deep slumber, his body completely lifeless. It seemed as if his energy was

depleting, with only a lingering breath of life remaining.

Valery stayed by Gerald’s side, for two days straight, without a wink of sleep.

During this time, Kristian brought over some food for them, but Valery had no appetite at all. She

couldn’t eat a single bite, as she was quite worried about Gerald’s condition!

Equally worried was Triston, who, under Get Benim the care of Valery’s life attribute, had recovered

physically within two days. Having experienced both a battle across levels and a life–and–death

struggle, his strength had somewhat improved after his recovery.

However, Gerald’s situation kept him awake at night!

Gerald was the spiritual pillar of Night

Watch, and Triston, previously known as Watchman No. o, considered himself the strongest. However,

ever since he started following Gerald and came to Havotune to carry out their mission, Triston

developed immense admiration for Gerald, even becoming somewhat dependent on him.

Gerald’s current situation is that he’s hanging by a thread, and could die at any moment. Triston is

somewhat unclear about what they should do if something were to happen to Gerald.

Should we go back to the City of Phoenix?

Should we still go and retrieve Ingenious Needles?

He felt that everything in the future, along with Gerald’s fall, was shrouded in a layer of gray.

In the past couple of days, the news of Dragon Bone’s owner, Gerald, appearing on Promise Island has

spread throughout the entire island.

?

The owner of Dragon Bone had long been famous throughout Havotune, as well as his identity of

Alcoholic’s apprentice.

Havotune’s adventures in the Underground Paláce, where he and Carolyn piloted the dragon and

phoenix statues to battle against the Eight Forces, and his experiences as a supreme peak Flame

Decayer before the age of thirty, were all legendary tales.

In fact, during this period, many people were investigating the origins of Gerald and his companions,

but no one knew the truth. It was only after their fierce battle with the Four Ancient Families that most

people speculated that Gerald and his friends must have been from the City of Phoenix, and had

suffered oppression bet bonus from the Four Ancient Families of the City of Phoenix!

Gerald’s experiences were enough to astonish and thrill many people.

The news of his desire to create a city of equality for all spread throughout Havotune, eliciting both

hatred and excitement from its inhabitants.

Regrettably, it is the upper–class people who are resentful, while naturally, it is the lower–class people

who are excited.

Although Gerald had not reached the eternal level of Flame Decay yet, his experiences since the

Underground Palace had already become legendary. His every move was closely watched by many

people.

The news of his appearance on Promise Island spread rapidly, reaching the main continent,

There was no way around it. When Gerald and Nolan fought, many people saw it. Gerald’s group didn’t

completely wipe out Micah’s men, and there were quite a few people in the base who noticed it as well.

Many people from the outside world were speculating about the reason behind Gerald’s arrival at

Promise Island.

Some people speculated that Gerald might be searching for something, while others guessed that

Gerald might have come to Promise Island to seek a way to break through the eternal level of Flame

Decay.

After all, everyone knows about the three–year agreement between Alcoholic and the Eight Forces!

In any case, for whatever reason, news about Gerald had leaked out on this side, and the reactions

from various parties were quite different. The Eight Forces each issued their own orders, but as for the

content of those orders, no one knew.

The undercurrents on Promise Island had nothing to do with Gerald. Over the past two days, he had

been lying in bed, motionless, showing no signs of recovery.

On this day, Valery carefully wiped Gerald’s body as usual, and then injected some nutrient solution

into him, ensuring that Gerald’s nutritional needs were met.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door of their residence. Triston went to open it, and Anabel walked in

with two others.

Glancing at Gerald, Anabei frowned and asked, “Still no signs of recovery?”

“No!” Valery said, “He’s still like this. I wonder how long it will take to recover.”

Anabel sighed and said, “After all, the opponent is Eternal Flame Decayer. It’s still too much of a stretch

for Gerald to handle.”

After speaking, she looked at the somewhat haggard Valery and said, “Valery, you haven’t slept for

more than two days. You should get some rest now.

We’ll take good care of Gerald here.”

Valery bit her lip and said, “I’m fine.”

Anabel, Sylvie, and the others were momentarily stunned. Then, Anabel turned her gaze towards

Kristian!

A hint of embarrassment flickered across Kristian’s face.

Is there anything else you need?” Valery asked.

Kristian nodded and said, “Yes! Elder

Pierce mentioned… he would like to have a chat with you all. It’s about the search for Ingenious

Needles.”

Valery nodded and said, “Triston, Hector, you two go and talk to Mr. Pierce.“.

Triston nodded, then looked at Valery and said, “Alright.”

At this moment, Sylvie said, “You guys go ahead, I’ll stay with Valery.” Anabel nodded.

After they left, Sylvie looked at Valery and smiled slightly, saying, “Valery, do you believe me?”

Valery looked at her in puzzlement and asked, “I don’t understand what you mean.

“If you believe me, then go take a break,” Sylvie said. “I did a divination for Gerald, and the result

indicates that he will make a miraculous recovery.”

“I don’t believe in these mystical things,” Valery shook her head.

Sylvie laughed and said, “My attribute is divination, which simply means I can see glimpses of the

future. My divination is Chanot considered mysticism.”

Get Alerts

“Hmm?” Valery paused and asked,

“Divination attribute?”

“Yes, so the reason you saw me killing those people in a bizarre way that day was because I was able

to predict their every move. It seemed as if they were running into my attacks,” Sylvie said. “I also saw

that Gerald had a chance to survive and make a miraculous recovery.”

“Really?” Valery asked, her face showing a hint of excitement.

Sylvie nodded and said, “Really, so you can rest assured and go get some rest.

You don’t want Gerald to wake up and see you looking completely exhausted, do you?”

Valery hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “Alright! I’ll take a short nap, then. Can you

please watch over Gerald for a while?”

She walked over to the bed in the room and lay down, while Sylvie turned her head to look at Gerald,

her eyebrows furrowed. She murmured, “I… actually can’t see your future, nor do I know your situation.

All I know is that if it were you, you probably wouldn’t want to see your wife so exhausted.”

“You’ll wake up, right?” Sylvie said,

“Because of you, my attribute has probably been exposed. You have to regain consciousness, reach

the eternal level of Flame Decay, and protect me!”

As Sylvie was persuading Valery to take a break, on the other side, within a certain room.

Triston and Hector were sitting there, and across from them, Dante was holding a cup of a coffee–like

beverage, grinning at the two of them.

“Mr. Pierce, please feel free to speak your mind,” Triston said.

“Today, I’ve called you all here to mainly discuss the matter of searching for the Ingenious Needles,”

Dante said. “As you can see, Gerald’s condition is quite serious. We don’t know when he’ll regain

consciousness, or even if he’ll be able to wake up at all.”

Triston frowned and said, “Mr. Pierce, I don’t quite like what you’re saying. Gerald will definitely come to

his senses.”

“All right!” Dante said, “I came to you guys to suggest that we start looking for Ingenious Needles

sooner rather than later, preferably in the near future. Of course, I think the distribution of Ingenious

Needles needs to be changed!”

Triston and Hector’s pupils shrank almost simultaneously!

Nearby, Kristian and Sylvie’s brows furrowed.

“What kind of changes?” Triston’s voice became somewhat chilly.

Dante didn’t seem angry. He calmly said, “It’s still a four to six split, but we, the Archaic Tribe, will take

60%, and you guys will get 40%.”
