Chapter 662 An Accident
The scream was loud. Theo said in surprise, “Boss, go take a look. I’m going to rest. I’m so tired.”
Gerald looked at Erik and Claude, who were lying on the bed, and Milo, who was sitting on a wooden
stool
next to him. These four people didn’t want to go. Gerald nodded and said, “Okay. Take care of our
things!”
Gerald stepped out of the room and found that the beautiful woman had not left!
After seeing Gerald come out, Isla smiled at him and said, “The rooms are shabby. Please make do
with
them.”
“They are good.” Gerald looked at the last of the three rooms on the second floor and found that it was
quite warm. It was pink, and the walls were whitewashed.
“You look quite fashionable. Why did you marry Aarav?” Gerald asked suspiciously.
“Haha!” Isla covered her mouth and chuckled. “Are you afraid that I was kidnapped and sold by a
human
trafficker? You can rest assured. I married him out of my free will. I yearn for such a rural life!”
Gerald was slightly stunned. He had doubted this before!
Nowadays, there was a lot of news that female university students were missing and forced to marry
men in
the countryside!
However, since Isla denied it, Gerald laughed it off!
“Did something happen in the village?” Gerald asked.
“I don’t know. Apart from the domestic pigs, the people here secretly go into the mountains to hunt. Oh
right,
let me remind you that this village is remote and no one cares about it. Most people have shotguns at

killed here. No one will find out anything,” Isla said.
Gerald touched his nose and looked at Isla in surprise. He asked, “Is this a reminder? Or a threat?”
“It’s whatever you need it to be!” Isla smiled. “I’m going back to my room. Make yourselves at home!”
Isla turned around and walked into the pink room.
Looking at Isla’s slim back, Gerald touched his chin and thought to himself, what an interesting woman.
Gerald did not expect that there would be such a beautiful woman in this place. Her behavior was
completely
different from the people here. She didn’t belong in this place.
Gerald went downstairs. The red-brick house was located in the highest place in the village. Gerald
saw the village entrance at a glance. It was surrounded by a large group of people. He did not know
what had
happened.
Gerald walked towards Joanna’s mud house. There was a wooden floor in the middle of the house,
with three
rooms on each floor. Next to it was a kitchen where firewood was burned.
When Gerald arrived, there was the sound of footsteps from upstairs. Aarav was smoking in the living
room.
on the first floor!
“Everything is done!” Aarav said with a smile.
“There was a scream just now. What happened?” Gerald asked.
“I don’t know. Joanna went to check it,” Aarav said, shaking his head.
Just then, Valery helped the middle-aged woman down the stairs. Their stairs were also made of wood.
They were placed on the wall, and people had to climb up
them.
They had just come downstairs when Joanna ran back. She shouted anxiously, “Mom, Mr. Galloway,
bad news. Mr. Tristan Zuniga is dead!”
When Aarav heard this, he was shocked!
Gerald also frowned slightly. He did not expect that just as his group arrived in the village, someone
would
die.
“Ah!” the middle-aged woman exclaimed. “What happened?”
Aarav could not sit still. He stood up and ran towards the village entrance!
Gerald and Valery looked at each other, then nodded at the same time and followed Aarav to the
village
entrance.
Valery was the best doctor in the world. If Tristan was still breathing, he might be saved.
Carolyn followed them out.
Kristen and Belinda stayed to take care of their things.
There were sabers in their boxes.
Soon, Gerald and the others arrived at the village entrance. It was crowded with many people. Aarav
enjoyed high prestige in the village. After he arrived, some people made way for him!
Gerald saw a man lying on the ground. He only wore underpants, and his body was covered in blood.
Gerald casually checked the dead body and looked at Valery. He smiled bitterly and said, “He’s not
breathing.”
“What happened?” Aarav asked as he looked at the ground.
On the ground, a woman and an old couple were wailing over the corpse.
Gerald saw that there was a broken homemade shotgun beside the corpse.
Someone said, “I saw it. I was digging here and saw a person staggering to the village entrance. Just
as he

ran back
to inform his wife.”
“His wife is pregnant. Two days ago, he said that he wanted to go into the mountains to hunt some wild
animals. He is covered in scratches. He must have met some large beast,” a second person said. “His
shotgun has been broken.”
Valery did not squat to carefully examine anything. She walked around the corpse and stopped beside
Gerald. She said, “He died just now, but it shouldn’t be a beast!”
Gerald nodded. “Indeed. Although the wounds on his body look like scratches, they are smooth. They
should be caused by sharp weapons like Belinda’s claws.”
“This mountain isn’t peaceful!” Carolyn sighed.
“Should I tell them?” Valery asked.
The villagers felt it was a pity, but they seemed to have gotten used to it. It was as if this wasn’t the first
person to die from hunting.
“Alas, I have always warned the young people that this mountain is very dangerous. Don’t go into the
depths!”
An old man sighed.
Gerald shook his head and said, “Not now. We are about to go into the depths. We can solve this
matter. Catch the attacker. Put him in prison or to death! If we tell the villagers and they call the police,
it will cause some trouble. The attacker can’t be underestimated.”
“At least at the top level!” Carolyn said.
Gerald nodded!
Aarav had a look of unwillingness on his face. He suddenly opened Tristan’s hand. Something fell out
of it.
It was white and looked like jade!
The moment Gerald saw this thing, he narrowed his eyes!
“Bone of Eternity!”
