Chapter 654

A Great Honor

The entire room was filled with people. There were no empty seats in the audience. On the television
screen, Rachel had already started the introduction.

There were also some girls who held neon plates that were written with “Hero” in their hands.

“Are they here for Gerald? Is Gerald an icon now?” Jadon asked in surprise.

Jolie shook her head and said, “I don’t know. But recently, many of my former classmates began to ask
me for Gerald’s autograph when they found out that Gerald was my brother.”

The others also laughed.

When Gerald came out with Theo and Carolyn in Watchman’s uniform, people shouted and cheered.

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

It was just like what Gerald and Valery had encountered when they were in a Northern European
country before. But now they were in a room and shooting, the audience was not as crazy as they had
met before.

Gerald and the other two then sat down with a smile.

“Look at Gerald, he is so nervous!” Yazmin teased him with a smile.



“Maybe it’s because he hasn’t been on TV before.” Mason also laughed.

A middle-aged man with glasses next to them sighed and said, “Your son is so promising now!”

He was Manuel Backman, one of Mason’s childhood friends and also Mason’s classmate, just like
Gerald to Doreen. They had been in the same school from kindergarten to college.

When Gerald was little, the two families were quite close to each other.

When Mason was down, he would go to Manuel’s place for a drink.

However, after Gerald got into trouble, Manuel and Mason intentionally distanced themselves from
each other.

Recently, Manuel took the initiative to contact Mason. He also brought his wife and a schoolfellow
called Kirk Britton to visit Mason.

“None of us had expected it either!” Mason smiled and said, “He was framed and imprisoned and was
even sentenced to life imprisonment back then. We had never thought that he would be recruited into
Night. Watch!”

The tone of his voice sounded a bit strange.

When Mason was young, he always thought that Manuel and Kirk were more than good friends to him
since they had grown up together. Mason thought that no matter what happened, Manuel and Kirk
would definitely support him.

But when that day really came and Mason lost the support of the Kenneth family, Manuel and Kirk also
left him.



During those nine years, Gerald experienced a lot, and so did Mason and Yazmin. They also witnessed
how the relationships between them and their friends turned sour.

Mason treated Yazmin’s family well until now mainly because in those few years, although Yazmin’s
family also taunted him, they had never cut off contact with him.

It was also why Gerald was willing to help Jolie before, and why he didn’t say anything when the others
moved here.

That guy who has been talking all the time is Theo Roach. You know, Theo is funny and cute. It’s just
that hooking up with girls is one of his hobbies.” Jolie spent some time with them and introduced them
to each other.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Jolie, go answer the door,” Jolie’s mother, Lilia, said.

“No! I want to watch the show.” Jolie mumbled, but she still ran out to open the door. But when she saw
it was Gerald, she asked in surprise, “Gerald, you’re back? Have you finished your business?”

Gerald nodded with a smile. “Yes. Is everyone here?”

“Of course.” Jolie said, “We’re watching the show you were on. It started to broadcast today. You seem
a little nervous facing the camera. I thought you weren’t afraid of anything.”

Gerald was speechless. “It is different. Actually, I was not nervous.”

“Bullshit. I saw it all!” Jolie smiled, and then she seemed to think of something and continued, “I don’t
think you want to get in now. Your father’s childhood friends, Manuel and Kirk, are here. It seems that
they were. coming for you.”



“What?” Gerald was stunned and said, “What do you mean?”

“I overheard Jolie said, “It sounds like their children were rejected by Night Watch for some reason.
They

wanted to pull some strings and asked for your help to get them enrolled.”

Gerald frowned.

There were not many people who wanted to get into Night Watch. Generally, Night Watch would admit
every candidate they had, except for some who had criminal records.

“There is nothing I can do,” Gerald shrugged and said.

“I know.” Jolie said, “So I’m telling you to leave for a while. They were talking about asking you to give
them a job even if you couldn’t get them enrolled.”

Gerald chuckled. “It is not difficult to give them a job. I remember he is a good friend of my father.”

“Nonsense!” Jolie was speechless. “Your mother privately talked about it many times. Since you got
into

trouble, they immediately made a clean break with your family. She also said that they were close to
your family back then just because your father was from the Kenneth family. Because at that time, your
father was in charge of the Kenneth Group, and he gave them many chances to cooperate.”

Gerald chuckled and said, “So it means that they kicked down the ladder back then. Then I can’t just
leave like this. I can’t leave my parents alone with them. I will explain it to them.”

Jolie still wanted to say something, but then she said with a bitter smile, “Alright. You can handle it
yourself.”



As they spoke, they walked into the room. Jolie said excitedly, “The great hero is back!”

Yazmin and the others were all happy to see Gerald back. She quickly got up and asked, “Have you
eaten? Let me get you something to eat.”

“Mom, calm down. Just sit there. It’s not a big deal.” Gerald suddenly felt he had a headache.

Ever since the great battle, every time Gerald returned home, they would all treat him like a big shot.

According to them, Gerald graced the surname of Kenneth.

Gerald was quite speechless about it.

After greeting them back, Gerald still took the initiative to talk to Manuel and Kirk.

Manuel and Kirk looked embarrassed and winked at Mason from time to time. Mason understood what
they meant. He stood up and said, “Gerald, come with me to the study. Manuel and Kirk have
something to tell you.”

Gerald nodded and followed Mason into the study.

After they got into the study, Manuel and Kirk still looked embarrassed. But then, they still spoke slowly
about the purpose they came to, which was almost the same as what Jolie had said. They hoped that
Gerald could get their children enrolled in Night Watch or give them a job.

It seemed that they wanted Gerald to arrange a job for their children.

Gerald frowned and said, “As long as they are young, there should be no problem for them to get into
Night. Watch. Did they have any criminal records?”

“You know, Kirk and I live in the same neighborhood, and that two brats grew up together. We are not
rich and have no time to discipline them. They just made some wrong friends. A few years ago, they



were taken to the police station a few times for fighting,” Manuel said with an embarrassed look on his
face.

Gerald frowned and said, “It should be more than that. If it was just a fight, Night Watch wouldn’t reject
them.”

Manuel still wanted to say something when Kirk interrupted, “Gerald, you are the leader of Night Watch
now, right? You don’t have to know the details. It is just a small thing for you, right? But it will be a
turning point for those kids. Manuel and I are your father’s good friends. This is not a big deal at all.”

Hearing this, Mason frowned.
