Chapter 986

Schemes

The feelings of resentment and helplessness overwhelmed him. Gerald experienced it thoroughly!

Gerald had never experienced this before. Even when he faced the head of the Pierce.

family, he was somewhat intimidated but remained relatively firm.

And in all his life, the only other time that Gerald felt this way was before he became a

Watchman.

Back then, Gerald was framed and falsely accused. He cried out to the heavens and the earth, but to
no avail, and eventually ended up in prison.

Joining the Night Watch meant having powerful leaders behind him, ruling over the Earth

until Gerald grew strong enough to join their ranks.

Gerald felt that he had a fighting chance in several dire situations that came later.

But at that moment, the person in front of Gerald made him feel truly hopeless.

Gerald was unwilling, but he had to come to terms with it.

As he saw Carolyn also stepping forward, Gerald sighed inwardly.

“Boss, no need to fear them. If it meant for us to die, then we’ll die with honor!” Theo

unsheathed his saber and yelled, “Let’s fight them to the end.”

A scoffing voice sounded. “You guys, the girl told us to fight, but at least you still have



your lives. Get lost now!”

Fueled by rage, Theo was on the verge of unleashing his Death Storm.

Gerald quickly called out, “Hold on!”

Gerald then faced Hector and Triston and instructed them, “Take them to the City of

Phoenix. I’ll come find you all later.”

Hector’s brow furrowed, but he nodded anyway.

After that, Gerald instructed Jacob, “Jacob, I’m leaving the affairs of the City of Phoenix

to you.”

Peering out from another hover car, Jacob stared at Gerald before clenching his teeth and saying, “All
right!”

“Boss!” Kristen and the others shouted.

Gerald commanded with a serious tone, “Obey my orders!”

Gerald realized that any attempt at resistance would only lead to a massacre, with no

other alternatives possible.

Gerald thought that if it was only him and Carolyn that stayed, there could still be a possibility of turning
things around. Even if they decided to run away, the two of them

would have a better chance of escaping.

Upon hearing Gerald’s command, everyone fell silent.



Gerald instructed again, “Time to leave; get in the car!”

Everyone else remained silent, and then Triston gritted his teeth and yelled, “Come on,

get in the car now!”

After saying that, Triston turned around and yelled at Gerald, “Make sure you get to the

City of Phoenix safely.”

The group of people did not seem interested in interrupting them and simply watched silently, with even
the man with a square face remaining silent. Gerald could not read this type of person and felt
powerless, wishing he was stronger.

Gerald did not expect to encounter such a person so early.

Gerald did not place the blame on that person. If he had to blame someone, it would be Skyler
Mahoney. Skyler owed him his life but betrayed him at this crucial moment.

Vroom!

The car started.

Valery stood alongside Gerald. Gerald’s brow furrowed as he was about to speak, but Valery shook her
head and looked at him with a determined gaze, suggesting that they would die together.

The two cars started slowly and drove in the direction of the City of Phoenix.

After the cars had driven off, the man with the Square Face looked at Gerald and spoke calmly, “Let’s
head back to Ries City. I’ll take you to meet someone.”



Gerald let out a sigh and reluctantly followed the square-faced man, along with the other

two. They headed back to Ries City and eventually arrived at a shorter building in the

center of town.

As soon as they walked in, Gerald saw Ms. Cat holding her cat and sitting over there.

When she saw them come back, she did not seem surprised. She just smiled faintly and

said, “We meet again!”

Apart from the middle-aged man, the rest of them did not go inside.

Gerald stared at Ms. Cat, and his mind began to race with various thoughts. It was Ms. Cat who had
urged him to leave, and it was likely that she also knew they would choose.

to go to the City of Phoenix if they did.

The middle-aged man quickly caught up with them, as if he had anticipated which city gate they would
leave from. Gerald then realized that the middle-aged man and Ms. Cat were in cahoots and that he
had been played

Without saying a word, Gerald calmly glanced at Ms. Cat.

When Gerald first arrived in this world, he did not trust anyone and was cautious about everything he
did.

As Gerald gradually got to know some people like Anabel, Benson, and Ms. Cat, he started to accept
some friends and believed that they might be trustworthy.

There was a time when Gerald and Ms. Cat had worked together, and one could say that



they faced a life-or-death situation.

As soon as Ms. Cat caught sight of Gerald’s expression, her masked brow furrowed in response.
Gerald could have lashed out and confronted her, but he simply accepted the situation with an almost
eerie calmness. It was then that Ms. Cat knew their relationship had fallen apart.

Ms. Cat looked up at Gerald and said, “I know you may be very angry inside when you see me, and
you may think I have played you, right?”

After a moment of silence, Gerald looked at Ms. Cat and asked, “So, are you planning to

kill us?”

“Of course not!” Ms. Cat smiled faintly and said, “I consider you a friend since

you saved my life. I won’t take your life, and neither will they. But I do need a small favor from you.”

“Are you asking me to open the Underground Palace?” Gerald questioned.

Ms. Cat confirmed with a nod. “Yes, there’s something I need in the underground palace, so I had to
resort to this. But I promise you, your lives are not in danger.”

Gerald’s eyes shifted from Ms. Cat to the middle-aged man, who had remained silent the

entire time.

Carolyn and Valery too, did not utter a single word and remained silent.

“Perhaps we should consider collaborating,” suggested Ms. Cat.



Gerald sighed and replied, “If it’s about collaborating, you could have just talked to me directly instead
of doing all this.”

“There were some things that I had no other choice but to do, and I hope you can understand. With the
opening of the Underground Palace, as owners of the Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone, you will
definitely also benefit from this.” Ms. Cat seemed to want to explain further.

Then Ms. Cat continued, “Let me tell you about my identity; maybe after you hear it, you

will understand. I-”

“When are we going to the Underground Palace? And if we’re the key to opening it, can we leave
safely once it’s opened?” Gerald interrupted, cutting to the chase.

“After it’s opened, you can’t leave yet!” At this point, the man with the Square Face finally spoke up.
“You’ll only be allowed to leave after the Underground Palace is over. But don’t worry, once it is open
and I get what I want, I won’t do anything to you.”

Ms. Cat furrowed her brow.

“When do we depart?” Gerald asked.

“We leave in the evening,” the man said in a nonchalant tone.

Gerald let out a sigh.

The events that had unfolded since his return were far beyond what Gerald had



anticipated.

If their lives were not in danger, opening the Underground Palace would be no big deal. However, if
Gerald and Carolyn were indeed the keys and opened the tomb, their identities as possessing Dragon
Bone and Phoenix Bone would be exposed, which

would be a true catastrophe for them!

The man stood up after he finished speaking and thought for a moment before saying,

“Don’t blame Ms. Cat for this. I’ve already known your location; it wasn’t her that told me.

But if it weren’t for her, only you two would be alive right now, and the others would have

died. You also won’t be able to leave Ries City!

After saying that, the man fell silent and did not say anything more.

Ms. Cat glanced at the middle-aged man and requested, “Can I talk to them alone,

please?”

The Square Face man frowned slightly after hearing Ms. Cat’s request but still stood up

and walked out of the room, leaving it to Ms. Cat, Gerald, and the others.
