Chapter 23 Gerald’s Past

At the exit of the airport, the three people looked at Gerald with different expressions.

The man had a hint of ridicule on his face. It was a kind of disdain.

Beside him stood a girl wearing a pair of long boots. She looked capable. Now, she had a long face as

if she was angry.

The other woman had long hair and wore a white dress. She looked cold and looked at Gerald with a

complicated expression on her face. There was a bit of hatred and a bit of astonishment in her

expression!

“Doreen, you know Gerald?” Audrey asked Doreen Cousy in surprise.

Doreen did not speak, but the man next to her said in a weird tone, “Of course, we do. He is the son of

the Kenneth family in Sacramento.”

Hearing this, Audrey looked at Gerald in surprise.

The Kenneth family in Sacramento was the top family in the country. If Gerald was a member of the

Kenneth family, it would make sense for Bradley to be polite to him.

However, Audrey was still confused. She had asked someone to investigate Gerald’s past. Before,

Gerald was just an

ordinary construction worker.

Did the people of the Kenneth family need to go to work at the construction site?

Did Gerald go there to experience a new life?

At this time, the man spoke again, “Nine years ago, he was an influential figure in Sacramento. As for

his reputation….

Heehee!”

Gerald frowned deeply!

This matter was related to why Gerald entered the Night Watch.

Gerald came from the Kenneth family in Sacramento, but his family was only a branch of the big family.

Of course, he was a part of the Kenneth family anyway, and his family was also considered rich.

Moreover, Gerald’s grades were quite good at that time, and he was valued by the elders of his family.

But when Gerald was 18 years old, there was an accident. That accident was a shame that would

follow Gerald forever and it almost sent Gerald to prison. But at that time, Gerald was fooled by an old

man and brought to the Night Watch!

However, in the eyes of people in Sacramento and the Kenneth family, Gerald was already in prison.

Gerald knew two people among the three in front of him.

Doreen was Gerald’s high school classmate. They also entered the same college. However, Gerald

dropped out not long

after he attended school.

This man was someone Gerald knew from college. His name was Henley Zumthor, and he was

Doreen’s pursuer.

When Gerald was still a student, because he and Doreen were close, Henley had always disliked

Gerald. During his college days, Henley even found someone to bully Gerald. At that time, Gerald had

not yet entered the Night Watch and knew nothing about martial arts. Thus, it was difficult for him to

fight back!

At that time, Doreen seemed to be not very interested in Henley. Gerald also did not expect that after

nine years, Doreen and Henley had come to Los Angeles together.

As for Doreen, Gerald had also had a crush on her in the past.

After all, Doreen was indeed very beautiful. Gerald and Doreen had known each other since junior high

school, but Gerald had never revealed his feelings for Doreen.

Doreen’s family background was very good, and she was a proud girl. It was a coincidence that Gerald

was able to get

close to her.

When Gerald disappeared from Sacramento, everyone thought that he had been imprisoned.

After a short moment of shock, Gerald’s expression returned to normal.

Audrey asked curiously, “An influential figure? How so?”

“The Kenneth family is a wealthy family. Gerald committed a crime and went to prison. He disgraced

the Kenneth family, making them lose a large sum of money. Thus, the Kenneth family kicked him out

of the family,” Henley said with a faint smile. “I am right, you rapist?”

Hearing the word “rapist“, Audrey was stunned.

Doreen’s expression became even more complicated.

Gerald frowned. He ignored Henley’s words. He just looked at Doreen and said calmly, “I was

wronged.”

Doreen’s expression did not change at all. She shook her head and said, “It’s all over. I don’t care Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

anymore.”

Gerald nodded. It was enough for him to explain it in one sentence. Whether Doreen believed it or not

wasn’t that important. Nine years had passed, and that bit of feeling had already been buried deep in

the bottom of Gerald’s heart.

Seeing that the moment was somewhat awkward, Audrey coughed and said, “Let’s go first. The car is

parked outside.”

Doreen nodded and walked toward the outside of the airport. After taking two steps, she suddenly

stopped and said, “Gerald, we are all Doreen’s seniors. We want to have a chat with her, and you don’t

have to come with us!”

Audrey frowned but did not speak.

But Gerald shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He didn’t mind it.

On the side, Henley looked at Gerald and revealed a complacent smile.

“Doreen is right. With your current attire, it is not suitable for you to walk with us,” Henley said with a

sneer.

Doreen did not even turn around. After finishing her words, she walked out directly.

Audrey gave Gerald an apologetic smile and then ran out.

Henley stayed behind. He looked at Gerald and said with a sneer, “I thought you were going to spend

the rest of your life in prison. I didn’t expect you to come out so soon. Let me tell you, Doreen and I are

going to get married. But there is no point in telling you. People like you are no longer in the same

world as us.”

After saying that, Henley gave Gerald a disdainful look and then ran out.

Looking at the backs of those people, Gerald touched his nose and said to himself, “We are indeed not

in the same

world.”

Whether it was the Kenneth family, the Cousy family, or the Zumthor family, they were nothing in

Gerald’s eyes now.

Gerald spent six years in Night Watch. Originally, the higher–ups told Gerald that as long as he

completed the mission in Los Angeles, he could return to Sacramento.

But after Gerald arrived in Los Angeles, he was injured and lost his memory. Then, another three years

passed.

‘After this matter is over, I have to go back. Some things should be settled.” Gerald touched his nose.

“And it has been nine years since I last saw my parents.”

After muttering that, Gerald turned around, looked at the guidepost, and walked towards the subway

station.

After buying a ticket, Gerald walked onto the subway. There were not many people on the train, so he

found a seat and

sat down.

After a while, Gerald suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gerald saw a fiery red figure walk in from the entrance. The moment that woman walked into the

subway, she attracted the attention of many people. Gerald also looked over!

A woman in a red dress with a sexy figure and sunglasses dragged a suitcase and walked into the

carriage.

It was Red Rose!

Gerald was slightly surprised and thought, she actually came to take the subway.

Red Rose was a top–notch assassin and was very wealthy. She actually chose to take the subway,

which was

something that Gerald did not expect.

Red Rose looked around. Then, she turned slightly, walked to the empty seat next to Gerald, and sat

down.

All of a sudden, countless envious and jealous gazes shot at Gerald.

There was a man with glasses and a bald patch on his head sitting in front of Gerald. He looked at Red

Rose, swallowed

his saliva, and licked his lips!

It was obvious that this man was a lecher!

Gerald enjoyed the faint fragrance of roses quite a bit. He took out his phone and looked at it.

“Hey, dude, are you from Los Angeles?” Red Rose pointed at Gerald’s shoulder with her slender and

fair finger and

asked so.

Gerald raised his eyes and looked at Red Rose. She had taken off her sunglasses and revealed a

perfect face.

“Well, I… I guess so!” Gerald coughed awkwardly.

In Red Rose’s opinion, Gerald was a little nervous when he saw her pretty face. Seeing Gerald look

over, Red Rose

smiled sweetly.

“Well, this is my first time in Los Angeles. I wonder what fun scenery Los Angeles has. Can you

recommend me some?

Although there is some advice online, I feel that it should be better to hear the locals‘

recommendations,” Red Rose

said.

Gerald pretended not to know Red Rose at all. He quickly said to her warmly, “Los Angeles is a tourist

city. There is a lot of scenery here. When you come to Los Angeles, you have to go to the White

Elephant Tower. The night view there is quite beautiful! Besides, it’s near the river, so the scenery is

very pleasant to the eye…”

Gerald introduced the scenery honestly.

After chatting for a while, Red Rose suddenly said, “You know a lot. Do you mind being my guide?”

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly and continued, “You won’t refuse me, right?”

Gerald raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Red Rose. “It’s not a problem for me to be your

guide. But… Do you have money?”

Red Rose was slightly stunned.

Red Rose thought that Gerald should have agreed to her invitation to be her guide without even

thinking about it. She never expected that Gerald would ask her for money!

“I can give you money. But isn’t it better to use other things as compensation?” Red Rose’s tone was

filled with endless temptation!

Any man who heard this would probably have a physical reaction! Gerald could not help but swallow

his saliva.

At the same time, information about Red Rose appeared in Gerald’s mind!

Red Rose was ranked seventh on the assassin list of Sin City. She was one of the top assassins at

Blood Lotus.

Red Rose became famous after killing a chief, and her strength was probably equivalent to Watchman

No. 15 to

Watchman No. 30.

Her private life was a little chaotic, and she was keen to hook up with some young and strong men…

Obviously, Gerald had just become Red Rose’s new target.

Seeing Gerald’s reaction, Red Rose slightly raised her lips. Apparently, she was very satisfied with his

reaction.

“How is it?” Red Rose once again leaned her body and got closer to Gerald. Gerald felt that his arm

touched her soft

skin.

Red Rose didn’t think that Gerald would reject her.

Gerald let out a breath and said, “Okay!”
