Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 655 One Month

Mason felt a little helpless and was amused.

In the years when Gerald was imprisoned, Mason was almost at the end of his rope. If Gerald hadn’t

made al name for himself in Night Watch and taken down Universe Group and given Mason a job,

Mason would have had a really tough time.

Apart from Yazmin’s family, all his friends left him.

Mason used to think that Manuel and Kirk were his good friends. But when he was at his bottom, they

became estranged from him. When Mason was short on money and tried to borrow some cash from

them, all of them turned him down.

Seeing that Gerald became famous and powerful now, they came to knock on his door, claiming that

they were good friends before and that it was just a small thing for Gerald to give the green light to their

kids’ enrollment.

Mason didn’t want to be stingy. These men used to be his good friends. At least in his heart, Mason

always believed so. Although it was an unhappy time when they turned Mason down, Mason still

wanted to see their friendships come back.

But their words made Mason frown.

Gerald noticed the change in Mason’s expression. He rubbed his chin, then looked at Manuel and Kirk

and said, “You said that you are my father’s good friends. But I heard that when I was in jail, my father

had been through a quite difficult time after he left the Kenneth family. You two alienated him and

turned him down when he came to you for help.”

Manuel and Kirk were stunned.

Manuel revealed an awkward expression and said, “We dared not to go against the Kenneth family. We

are too small to offend that family. If the Kenneth family targeted us, we would be doomed!”

“But my mother’s family have always been in contact with us, and nothing had happened to them so

far,” Gerald said as he waved his hand. “It’s okay if you want to reconnect with my father. He did not

have many friends. It’s lucky enough for him that he wasn’t betrayed by his so-called friends.

“As for you want your children to join the Night Watch, that’s not my call. We have rules to recruit

Watchmen and to be honest, it’s not difficult to get in if they are clean. Since they were rejected by

Night Watch, it only meant that things were serious about what they had done. Moreover, don’t think

that you will get rich after you become a Watchman. I earned my properties by accomplishing missions.

Some rich clients would give me their shares after I finished the escort job. And some properties I

earned belonged to the Night Watch before, but I exchanged them with my feat. In other words, I

earned everything I have by dancing on the razor’s edge every day,” Gerald said calmly.

Manuel frowned. He looked at Mason beside him and said, “Mason, your son is really something. Is he

lecturing us now?”

Mason wanted to say something, but Gerald glanced at the two and said, “If so, Manuel, I’m afraid you

have

to get out of here.”

right.” Mason felt great when he saw them being talked back by Gerald and he said with a smile,

“What Gerald said makes sense. It is not for him to decide. Let’s get downstairs to have lunch.”

“No need.” Manuel snorted and said, “He wants to chase me out. Why should I stay? Kirk, let’s go!”

After that, he turned and left.

Mason saw them leave and sighed, “Some people will leave you in the end.”

“Don’t sigh, dad. You don’t have to make friends with people like them. He thought that we would ask

them to stay if he left. Seriously, I don’t give a shit about them.” Gerald curled his lips and said, “Dad,

you are still young. You should make more friends with your colleagues in the company. Or you can

take walks around this neighborhood to meet some new people.”

Mason laughed out loud. “Don’t worry. I’m not upset. I’ve seen through it after all these years.”

Gerald stayed in Sacramento for a while. During this period of time, everything seemed peaceful and

smooth. Occasionally, he would hear some news of Elite Ghost landing, but most of them would land in

the North. They left their tracks all over the world, including Sacramento. They had landed here twice.

But now, Sacramento was different. This place was full of experts now.

Not to mention the Night Watch squad, just the more than 1,600 people coming from Sin City would be

able to put down every ordinary Elite Ghost in Sacramento.

These people from Sin City had slowly integrated into society. They had also opened several martial

arts clubs in Sacramento and allocated shares according to each person’s strength. Gerald had a stack

of twenty percent in the martial arts club.

Now that there had been an atmosphere of martial-artist-learning in this city, the business of the martial

arts club was extremely good. Gerald and Valery had arranged some jobs for these people, and

gradually, they successfully settled in Sacramento.

They were used to punching their way out when they were in Sin City. In this peaceful society, they

cherished their lives very much. What’s more, Scar was still here and had been keeping an eye on

them, so they dared not to mess around and had quite an easy life.

Soon, Gerald had stayed in Sacramento for a month. During this time, he calmed down a lot.

Ever since he recovered his memories, Gerald had been fighting every day for almost a year. He had

put himself to death several times and then came back to life again. The long life of fighting had given

him an air

of bloodthirst.

In this month of staying with his family, he had gained a lot of peace in his heart.

Gerald did not deliberately cultivate himself. Now the cultivation couldn’t lead him to greater

improvement

anymore.

He spent most of his time with Valery and the others having fun, like playing tennis or something.

Of course, he had tried to coax Valery several times into going swimming with him, but Valery refused.

This guy wanted to see Valery in a swimsuit.

His life had a relaxed pace for now.

The Elite Ghost was not a threat for the time being, and of course, the world was undergoing a

tremendous change in the meantime.

The era of martial arts was quietly approaching. Whether it was office workers or students, they would

get into the martial arts club when they had free time. The martial arts club that Gerald opened was

called “Lightbringers”.

During this period of time, the applicants streamed into the martial arts clubs, and the business of the

club was booming.

Under the advertising of the Night Watch, they had recruited a total of 500 thousand people in the

country for the first reserve service.

500 thousand was quite a large number. They would not all stay. If they failed to reach the primary level

in three months, they would be eliminated and the Night Watch would start another round of

recruitment.

In short, the world was changing. Next time the Elite Ghost invaded this land, at the very least, the

ordinary people would be prepared. They would not be unable to resist like last time.

Gerald felt much more relaxed. Of course, his good days were about to end.

Now he was in a car rushing towards the airport.

Milo, Belinda, and Valery were also in the car, and Christopher was the driver.

Now, Christopher had become the pilot of Team 11762.

One day ago, Gerald received a call from Jacob, who told him that Blaine had contacted the

headquarters of the Night Watch and wanted Gerald to meet him in the Arctic

Later, Gerald quickly contacted Christopher and decided to set off today.

Blaine did not give them the details. But according to Jacob, Blaine had most likely recovered, so

Gerald planned to take a look.

“Damn it. Is Blaine going to quit? Why did he ask us to bring so many things over?” Gerald complained,

speechless.

There was a big truck following behind them, carrying mattresses, beds, vegetables, pots, pans, and so

on.

They transported these things to the airport. They did not take the previous plane but changed to a big

one. Otherwise, they would not be able to carry so many things with them.

Because the plane they took was just an ordinary one, it would take them longer to arrive.

At nine o’clock in the morning, the plane took off.
