Chapter 526 I Want an Explanation
Francisco Holton, the leader of European Watchmen, had the same status as Blaine.
The people behind him were all famous figures among Night Watch!
European Watchman No. 0, Brice Belcher, was an American.
But he had settled in Europe many years ago.
He was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a restrained expression.
Gerald had met Brice before, but they had never fought against each other. Because they were not from the same era, they would not encounter each other in the competition. Moreover, they were both Watchmen, so they had never started internal strife.
Gerald had only met Brice when he was on a mission in Europe. Brice cooperated with him at that time.
Brice was very proud.
He was used to looking down at others.
Of course, his pride came from his talent. It was said that at the age of 17, he had reached the top level. At the age of 18, he became one of the top ten European Watchmen!
After that, he had never made any progress. It had been thirty-one years now.
Although he had not broken through, his pride had not changed.
Gerald glanced at Brice indifferently, who also glanced at Gerald and frowned slightly.
“Francisco, you crossed the line,” Blaine said indifferently.
Francisco ranked fifth on the Sun List. As the leader of the European Watchmen, he was very powerful.
Francisco glanced at Gerald indifferently and sneered, “Did I? Why don’t you ask Gerald what he did before you judge me?”
As Francisco spoke, he pointed at the person with the bandages on the stretcher and said, “Today, we are on guard. This is one of the European Watchmen. He just interrogated them at the door, and
Gerald asked his subordinates to beat him up!
“I know. Because of what happened before, Gerald had a grudge against us and felt that we had framed him. I admit this, and I am willing to apologize, but now that we are on the battlefield, Gerald still did this. Isn’t Gerald stirring up a conflict between us?” Francisco said coldly. “Blaine, I need an explanation!”
Blaine looked at Gerald. Gerald shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then looked at Francisco and said, “An explanation? What explanation do you want? Do you want to spar with me?”
Francisco was stunned. He looked at Gerald and said angrily, “Gerald, don’t go too far. Do you mean that American Watchmen want to unify Night Watch?”
Blaine’s eyelids suddenly twitched. Then, he slowly stood up and said, “Francisco, how dare you!”
Francisco’s expression changed slightly and he quickly said, “I am a little angry. I didn’t mean it, but my subordinate was hurt today. I need an explanation.”
Gerald’s expression was more than gloomy. He sat on the sofa and stared at Francisco. “Tell me. What do you want me to do?”
“It’s very simple!” Francisco said with a gloomy expression. “Since your people attacked mine, I need your people to come out and be beaten. Otherwise, how should I explain to my subordinates?”
Hearing this, Gerald sneered and said, “It’s none of my business. You better get out of here before I get angry. Otherwise, I will beat you up.”
Francisco looked at the man and asked, “Is what he said true?”
The man on the stretcher was stunned. He wanted to lie, but he found that Gerald and Blaine were looking at him at the same time. He thought about it and gritted his teeth. “Yes, I did say something improper, but Mr. Dempsey is the hero of Night Watch. Didn’t they frame Mr. Dempsey? And even if I said something rude, they shouldn’t have…”
Francisco was scared when he heard that.
He looked at Gerald and Blaine and found that both of them were staring at him.
“I failed to discipline my subordinates!” Francisco quickly said.
“Is that all?” Gerald asked with a faint smile.
Francisco gritted his teeth and said, “I will remove his identity as a Watchman and confiscate all his properties. When the war breaks out, I’ll let him be at the forefront…”
The person lying on the stretcher was shocked as he said, “Mr. Holton…”
Being at the forefront meant death for him.
Brice’s expression was gloomy.
Blaine waved his hand and said, “Forget it. The war is imminent. There is no need to start internal strife. Removing his identity and his properties is enough. After all, in the future, Watchmen should cooperate with each other. We have the same goal.”
Hearing this, Francisco heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked at Gerald and found that Gerald was also looking at him indifferently with an unfriendly look.
