Chapter 270 The Gratitude From the Maddox Family

Hearing what Harland said, Leo and his family changed their expressions slightly. They looked at

Gerald and did not ask much.

Harland looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, don’t mind it. It just happens that we encounter such a

thing.”

Gerald quickly replied, “It’s fine. I’ll leave you to your business. Actually, you don’t have

to take it to heart. Moreover, these things are what I should do. It’s a win-win

situation.”

Seeing that Gerald wanted to leave, some people frowned slightly, including Leo.

Harland frowned and said, “Alright, since you are determined to leave… Irvin!”

“Okay, Dad!” Irvin answered, then stood up, and said to Gerald, “Gerald, come with me.

I want to talk to you alone.”

Gerald nodded, got up, and followed Irvin out of the dining room.

Through the living room, Irvin led Gerald into a huge study. Irvin said, “Sit down!”

“What’s the matter?” Gerald asked.

Irvin nodded and said, “Do you know why Blood Lotus and Dark Phantom want to deal

with us and attack Ingrid?”

Gerald pondered for a moment and said, “First, they want to rope you in. Second, they want to get

something from you. If I am not wrong, it should be bones or something like that.”

Irvin nodded and said, “Indeed. Previously, Saul secretly visited my father. However, he was chased

away by my father during the discussion with my father.

“Most of the time, it is just a matter of choice. Whether it is Watchmen or other factions…” Irvin then

continued calmly, “We do a lot of things out of the consideration of the inheritance and continuation of This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

our family, including letting Ingrid marry Leo!”

After a pause, Irvin added, “I know. Although you didn’t say it just now, your eyes and demeanor

seemed to be a little disdainful. You think that we are quite rich, but we still sacrifice the happiness of

our children.

Gerald was noncommittal to Irvin’s statement.

For this kind of family, the inheritance of the family was of utmost importance at some point in time. No

matter how powerful the family was, there was a possibility that it would decline one day.

For the sake of the family’s continuation, they would make the family bigger and

bigger.

Under the circumstances, love seemed less important.

Gerald thought for a moment and said, “But you have to consider Ingrid’s feelings. Can’t you see that

she doesn’t like Leo and even has some aversion to him?

“Of course, this is only my opinion. I know what you are thinking about.” Gerald continued calmly,

“Besides, no one can tell what will happen in the future. If your family and the Clay family unite by

marriage, it seems that both families will get

how you

choose. stronger. But it is hard to say what will happen. It depends on you how Ingrid is my friend. I

hope that she will live a better life. At least, I want her to be happy.

“This is your family business. It’s up to you how you will decide.”

“Okay!” Irvin nodded and then looked at Gerald. He opened a lockbox. Gerald glanced at it and found

that besides two small iron boxes, there were many documents and the like

in the lockbox.

Gerald’s

gaze fell on one of the iron boxes, and his gaze turned slightly gloomy!

The iron box was a rectangular box with some carvings on it, looking simple and classic.

This iron box was almost exactly the same as the one Gerald obtained three years ago.

The corner of Gerald’s mouth could not help but twitch slightly.

Irvin let out a breath and said, “In fact, there is another reason. It is because of this box.

It can even be said that this box is their main purpose.”

Gerald swallowed. He did not know what this box was.

But according to what Valery said, Night Watch had not cracked the secret of the iron

box.

“What is this?” Gerald asked.

Irvin answered, “This box involves a huge secret that concerns the underworld. As for what the secret

is, no one knows. We need to crack it. But few people know about the

method.”

Irvin sighed, “The rise of our family relied on this box and these bones. However, they also brought us a

lot of trouble. Our family has lasted for several hundred years, and we practice martial arts from

generation to generation. In the past, it was fine for us to have experts at the super level. But now,

there are fewer and fewer super experts. There are only 12 super experts on the Sun List. Besides

those who have not been counted, it is estimated that there are no more than 20 super experts. More

and more people are coveting them!”

Irvin seemed to be talking to himself!

Beside him, Gerald frowned deeply.

Irvin sighed, “Therefore, I talked with my dad and decided to give you all these things as thanks for

your help. As for how you want to deal with them, you can give them to Night Watch.”

As Irvin spoke, he handed the items to Gerald!

After Gerald received them, he looked back and forth at the rectangular box. He couldn’t

get anything. Then, Gerald opened another box with bones.

Inside the box, there were four bones. The largest one was as big as a palm.

Gerald touched it and did not feel like it was integrated into his body. He pondered for a

moment and thought, as expected, it is not suitable for me.

Gerald said, “Thank you.”

Irvin sighed, “It’s alright. As long as Ingrid can survive, this is no big deal.”

Gerald was stunned for a moment. He looked at Irvin and said, “I can see that you care a

lot about Ingrid, but why do you want her to sacrifice her marriage? It’s a bit contradictory.”

Irvin smiled and said, “Some things are not that simple. Well, it’s about time for us to

go out.”

Gerald nodded. He did not stay in the Maddox’s home for long. After saying goodbye, he

left the Maddox’s home.

Gerald planned to dine with Keira at night. However, he had to negotiate with Jessica, and he did not

know how long this negotiation would last. So, before setting off, he texted Keira and told her that he

would treat her to late-night snacks rather than

dinner.

Now Gerald came out early, so he decided to ask Keira if she had dinner.

After getting into the car, Gerald dialed Keira’s number. Soon, Keira picked up the phone and said,

“Hello, are you done?”

Gerald nodded and said, “Yes, what about you? Have you had dinner?”

“No. You said you would treat me to late-night snacks, so I stay in the bank to work overtime,” Keira

answered.

“Okay, I’ll pick you up at the bank. Send me the address,” Gerald said.
