Chapter 399 The Trump Card of Night Watch
Gerald was speechless, but deep down, he started to wonder if Charles was the mysterious Watchman No. 1.
Watchman No. 1 had always been that person in American Night Watch, who did not reveal himself nor gave Gerald a single mission.
Also, judging from how Davis treated Charles yesterday, politely and slightly fearfully, as well as how Charles struck people as mysterious, Gerald believed that Charles might be American Watchman No. 1.
Charles‘ words just now made Gerald even more certain of it.
Charles was Watchman No. 1!
He snorted coldly, “But then again, Blaine only made them come to Sin City because he wanted to push them and make them progress under the pressure of Sin City. If you send them elsewhere, will they even progress?”
“They will progress in my place!” Charles opened his lips slightly.
Gerald noticed a hint of an evil smile on his lips. Then Charles continued, “My place is a training camp that makes people feel tortured. However, it is rarely open to the public.”
“Is that so? Then I want to take a look!” Gerald smiled. And then something came to his mind, which made Gerald ask, “By the way, some people in the city have disappeared mysteriously recently. It was very likely that super experts took them away. Do you know about this?”
Charles was stunned and then shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it. In fact, I don’t know much about this city. Davis is the one who is in charge of most of the stuff. Maybe I can ask Davis about it
later on.”
Gerald frowned. Something told him that things weren’t as simple as he thought. Then, after a look at Charles, Gerald did not speak anymore.
Just like this, they moved forward. After leaving the city, they drove for another half an hour. Then they found that they were surrounded by bigger trees now.
An hour later, they stopped. Then Charles said, “Over here!”
As he spoke, he walked into the dense forest.
After walking along the dense forest for nearly an hour, Gerald found that all the trees were gone. Instead, there was a huge town in front of them.
Gerald was shocked.
He did not know much about the island. Most of the time, he was in the city. And of course, he knew
that there were some towns near the city.
However, the town in front of him was obviously different from all the other towns. It had a disparate structure and layout. And at the entrance of the town, there were three people smoking and playing cards. What surprised Gerald was that these people were all wearing top–level
Watchman’s uniforms.
Gerald had never seen these people in the Watchman organization.
At the sight of Charles, they hurried to put away their cards and stood up, saying, “Mr. Dominic!”
Charles waved his hand. Then a bulky person ran over and said, “Mr. Dominic, are these newcomers to the training camp? Do you want me to teach them myself?”
Then another one chuckled and walked over to Valery, saying, “Leave the girl to me. I will for
sure…”
These people did not sound like Watchmen, but more like bandits who came from Sin City.
Valery snorted and raised her hand. In its wake, three silver needles were shot. The next thing they knew, the teaser was already muted.
“Well…” The other two hurried to take some steps back while looking at Gerald and his fellows with
vigilance.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Charles ordered indifferently. “They are former Watchman No. 0,
Watchman No. 7, and Watchman No. 12!”
“What!” The three were shocked. Obviously, they had heard of them. Then, looking at Gerald and his fellows in shock, they asked, “So you are the beautiful doctor, the Legendary Sniper, and… that
Watchman No. 0?”
Gerald and Claude exchanged a glance, a hint of shock flashing across both their eyes.
It was just a humble town. But everyone Gerald saw was at the advanced level and above.
“Super expert!”
Gerald and Valery exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a trace of shock.
The person who rushed out was none other than Carolyn.
She… had managed to reach the super level.
That meant, within Gerald’s team, which was Team 11762, there were already two super experts.
That was record–breaking within the Night Watch.
Unfortunately, the team members of Team 11762 were not Watchmen anymore.
Charles, who stood to the side, did not interrupt Carolyn, who was emotional. Noticing that, Gerald let out a sigh of relief.
Carolyn’s appearance meant that Charles wasn’t lying and that Jacob and the others were not in danger. That made Gerald feel relieved right away.
Carolyn didn’t regain her cool after a while. Then she let go of Claude and looked at Gerald while standing at attention and saying seriously, “Captain, I have reached the super level. I didn’t disappoint you. Watchman No. 2 from Team 11762 is now a super–level Watchman. I request to return to the team!”
Hearing this, Gerald had mixed feelings. Then he sighed, “I… am no longer a Watchman.”
Carolyn was stunned for a moment. Then, she said, “What happened?”
Gerald explained the whole thing to her briefly, which made Carolyn’s expression change all at once. Then she gritted her teeth and said, “I want to quit as well!”
Gerald had seen this coming since Carolyn, as a girl, tended to be emotional. Plus, Carolyn was already very saddened by Terry’s death before and wanted to leave the Night Watch because of that.
And now it was Gerald, who was kicked out of the organization. That would make Carolyn feel even
more reluctant to stay.
“Let’s go visit Jacob and the others now,” Gerald said.
Carolyn nodded and said, “All right. I’ll take you there. When I left just now, I saw them. They were eating in the canteen.”
