Chapter 284 Trap
Saint Manor was very big. In front, it was a building, which was similar to a hotel. It was a place for
accommodation and dinner.
However, Gerald was not led into the main building. Instead, he was led to circle the entire villa and
arrived at a small building in front of the golf course!
Along the way, Gerald didn’t see many people, only about a dozen.
When they arrived at the small building, the man who led Gerald made a gesture and greeted him, “Mr.
Kenneth, this way, please.”
There were two rows of people standing at the door. They were also wearing suits and sunglasses.
They had their hands behind their backs and put on poker faces. There was a total of ten, and among
them were two females.
However, they both looked strong like men. They might easily kill their husbands with a single blow.
Gerald walked towards the door. Just as he reached the door, the two guards at the back extended
their hands to stop Gerald and asked, “Hand over the things in your hands to us. We have to check if
you have any dangerous items on you!”
Gerald’s expression changed. He sized them up and said, “Are you out of your mind?”
“Bob, allow him in!” Someone gave his order in the hall. It seemed to be an older man who was
speaking.
The two guards who blocked Gerald still did not withdraw their hands. One of them stared at Gerald for
more than ten seconds, and then he withdrew his hand.
Gerald held the two knives and walked into the room casually.
At the same time, he was also thinking it over.
Along the way, Gerald found a total of twenty-seven people, including ten guards at the door. Because
he did not start a fight, he did not know what level they were at. However, Gerald estimated that they
were at least Red Card Assassins of Blood Lotus.
Previously in the Thornton family, he had found more than twenty masters at the top level.
Rich families had existed for a long time, and it was normal for them to have so many masters at the
top level.
In addition, Dylan, who was at the super level, would join the fight. It could be compared with the battle
between Gerald and Dax not long ago if they had someone like Saul.
Walking into the room, Gerald found that there was still a hall in the room. There was a long table in the
hall, and six people were sitting by the table!
Yes, there were another six people there.
Cale, Edric, Vernon, Jared, and Dylan were all there. All men in the Thornton family had gathered
together.
In addition, there was also a person dressed like a priest. He sat there with his eyes closed, looking RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
very old and exhausted.
The moment Gerald saw him, Gerald became anxious.
Gerald recognized him. Gerald had seen his files in Night Watch, but those files were of a long history.
He was Gordon Holland. He was a priest. A long time ago, he was ranked first on the Moon List.
He was also an old man now, and he was at least over 100 years old.
Gordon was as old as Dylan, even as well as Perrin and the others.
At that moment, Gordon could be considered a remarkable figure in the underground world, and he
was arrogant and leading a simple life without joining any organization…
But later, he suddenly disappeared. Someone said that he was dead, and others said that he found a
deep mountain forest to lead a simple life as a priest.
Gerald just did not expect to meet Gordon here after so many years.
Gordon used to rank first on the Moon List. He was one step away from reaching the super level. It was
very difficult to succeed. For example, Saul just failed at the last step. No matter how many efforts he
made, he could not make it.
But now that so many years had passed, no one knew whether Gordon had reached the super level.
If Gordon made it, Gerald would have to face two masters of the super level, as well as so many
masters of the top level once the fight started.
Gerald took a deep breath and thought secretly, it’s such a great trap.
Although Gerald was a little shocked, Gerald’s face was still expressionless. He sat opposite the six at
the table.
The table was full of delicious dishes.
“You are indeed crazy and arrogant to arrive here alone,” Dylan looked at Gerald calmly. “Where is
Jessica?”
“I can represent her,” Gerald replied indifferently.
Hearing Gerald’s words, Cale got an extremely dark face!
No matter what, Jessica was his ex-wife, and now, his ex-wife believed Gerald so much. As a man with
dignity, Cale was in an extremely bad mood.
“Where are your bones?” Gerald asked directly.
Dylan snapped his fingers. Soon, someone ran over with a box. Dylan took the box and put it down on
the table. He then opened it.
Three sparkling and jade-like bones were revealed in the box. Gerald glanced at them and confirmed
that they were Dragon Bones. He said indifferently, “Draft the contract now!”
“Pa!”
At that moment, Dylan closed the box and looked at Gerald with a smile. “Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s
have dinner first! We can have a chat.”
Gerald’s expression changed slightly, but he did not pick up his forks.
“Why didn’t you enjoy the dish?” Dylan tasted some dishes and asked.
“I don’t dare to have dinner here,” Gerald smiled and said. “If there’s nothing else, let’s sign the
contract.’
He was a little confused as to what Dylan was up to.
If their goal was to kill Gerald, they would be able to capture him by the time he entered this place as
he had nowhere to go.
However, Dylan had dealt with him for so long, and Dylan seemed to continue talking nonsense.
“Don’t be in a hurry!” Dylan smiled. He added, “Despite the deal, we still have matters to talk about.
Now, you have to promise another thing!”
Gerald’s expression changed slightly. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the six people in front.
Gerald smiled and asked, “Then tell me, what did you want me to promise?”
have
“It’s very simple,” Dylan said, “and do you remember what I told you last time? I couldn’t move on so
easily since you made the Thornton family lose dignity. Jared was slapped by you. Now you to pay for
it. If you want to gain those three bones, you have to kneel in front of Jared and apologize to him
despite the contract. You have to be slapped a few times by Jared…”
“Do you think it is possible?” Gerald asked.
“You have no choice,” Dylan replied calmly.
Gerald was slightly surprised.
At that moment, Gerald knew that Dylan was indeed going to start the fight. However, Dylan thought
they would no doubt succeed. Therefore, before making a move, Dylan wanted to humiliate
Gerald first!
While they were talking, someone walked in from the door. He did not hesitate and walked in front of
Dylan. He said, “We have investigated and found him coming alone. No one was found around!”
Hearing it, Dylan put on a big smile.
At the same time, others who were sitting opposite smiled.
Dylan chatted with Gerald for a long time because he was sending someone to investigate if any other
reinforcements came for Gerald here nearby!
“As expected, he is young and fearless. He of course knew that it was a trap, yet he still dared to come
alone,” Dylan sighed. “The ignorant are fearless. The Thornton family, which was famous in
Washington, was looked down upon by such a young man.
Jared gritted his teeth and said, “Dad, stop talking nonsense with him. Since there are no other
reinforcements, let’s kill him directly!”
Dylan still smiled, “No.”
Gerald licked his lips and said, “So, you invited me here today not for the deal. You want to kill me. If I
die, no one will be able to protect Jessica. Then you can threaten her again and force her to hand over
the shares to you. You have such a good plan!”
Dylan looked at Gerald and said as if he was sure that everything was under his control, “Gerald, do
you know how rare it is for someone to be able to get power from the Dragon Bone?”
