Slumdog Billionaire Husband -
Chapter 681
Chapter 681 Personal Grudges
Gerald was upset, but he still coughed and said, "Hello!"
Karla smiled.
The group of people rushed to the Roberson's home. There were not many people left in the Roberson clan now. According to Frederic, there were only more than 100 people!
Among the Four Ancient Clans, most of them did not have a lot of family members. The Berkeley clan only had a few dozen people. The other two clans only had more than a hundred people. With such a scale, they could not even be a large clan in the city!
Gerald could feel that these people in the depths of the mountains were eager to go to the big cities on the outside, especially the people of the younger generation.
The Berkeley clan came to ask Gerald about the things in the city every day.
When Gerald mentioned computer games and bars, their faces would be full of yearning, as if they were eager to go out and feel the city life immediately!
Karla was one of the younger generations. She had a good relationship with Isla. Isla must have described fife in the city to Karla, so Karla yearned for it very much. The group of people slowly headed toward the village in front of them.
At the entrance, there were people welcoming them. Soon, the group was taken into a huge hall. The
Mcdowell clan was looking around excitedly.
Few people would come to such a remote village.
In the hall, some old people were sitting there.
Gerald saw some familiar people, such as Pryor and Sumner from the Nelson clan.
Five days had passed. Sumner still had his hand bandaged up. It was clear that his injuries had not completely recovered. And in the front seat of the Nelson clan, an old man with a stoop and a face full of
wrinkles sat there.
He sat at the front while looking down as if he would fall to the ground at any time!
However, Gerald's heart skipped a beat. He felt a sense of danger from this old man.
When the old man saw them, he looked up at Gerald. Gerald exchanged a glance with him. He saw a trace of killing intent flashing in the depths of the old man's eyes.
Gerald slowly let out a breath!
In front of Geraid, a dignified middle-aged man smiled, "Everyone is here, right? Please take your seat!"
Someone showed the seats for Gerald and the others. Frederic and members of the Berkeley clan walked in another direction. The Four Ancient Clans and Watchmen sat in five positions respectively. Gerald and the others took their seats.
The person in the middle smiled at Gerald and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Eaton Roberson."
Gerald smiled and nodded. "Gerald Kenneth!"
"Since everyone is here, we'll skip some complicated things. The Four Ancient Clans have agreed to this assessment. So, let's start directly. If one passes the assessment, he will have the qualifications to enter the Burial Ground. If one fails, then he should go back," the old man said indifferently.
Eaton was stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, Earl!"
Then, Eaton let out a breath and looked at Gerald. He said, "The so-called assessment is about each family sending out a Half-Step Flame Decay level expert. If you can hold on for 10 minutes, you will pass the assessment. If you cannot, you will fail."
As Eaton spoke, he smiled at Gerald, and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No!" Gerald shook his head.
There were just four Half-Step Flame Decay level experts, Gerald could even defeat them, let alone hold on for ten minutes.
Half-Step Flame Decay level experts were as strong as Gold Elite Ghost. Other than those who were experienced, like Robert, Gerald felt that he could take them down.
"Since you've decided, please call your experts over. I'll be on behalf of my family!" Eaton smiled.
Obviously, among the Four Ancient Clans, there should be people of the same level as Robert. However, the Roberson clan didn't show up. Now, Eaton was in charge of his family.
Keenan smiled and said, "I'll represent the Berkeley clan!"
The middle-aged woman also stood up with a smile and said, "I will represent the Mcdowell clan!"
Everyone looked toward the Nelson clan.
"We should not be harsh. Sumner was supposed to be on behalf of the Nelson clan, but his wrist was injured. The other people in the second generation are all in Burial Ground, so I have to stand out." Earl said slowly.
Hearing this, Keenan and the others frowned. "Earl, Sumner's hand injury is not serious enough that he cannot move. Gerald had a sense of propriety when he made the move."
"It requires that only Half-Step Flame Decay level experts can be assessors. Am I not?" Earl glanced at Keenan indifferently and said, "Keenan, we should follow rules. My involvement doesn't break the rules. The Berkeley clan merges into the city and has broken some rules. Everyone turns a blind eye to it. Do you have any objections now? Does your daughter have an affair with Gerald? You want Gerald to obtain the treasures in Burial Ground, so your family can take them for yourselves, right?"
Keenan frowned and said, "Earl, you've crossed the line!"
Gerald was speechless. The Nelson clan wanted to avenge their personal grudges and take the Burial Ground
for themselves. But they made a false accusation!
"Earl, you are indeed the strongest among Half-Step Flame Decay level experts. You are almost one step away from Flame Decay. You are indeed a bit..." Eaton frowned.
Eaton cursed Earl secretly. They knew what Earl was up to.
Earl wanted to see an existence that could absorb Dragon Bone in the Nelson clan.
But the other three clans didn't agree. They wanted someone to open the Burial Ground early so that they could live in the city.
"The rule is that only Half-Step Flame Decay level experts can be assessors. Sumner's injury was caused by Gerald. I won't break the rules even if I attack him," Earl said again.
The others were stunned. They didn't expect that Gerald was the one who injured Sumner.
Keenan sighed. He knew that the Nelson clan intended to let Earl make a move. Moreover, Keenan thought of an even more terrifying possibility, and he couldn't help but glance at Gerald.
"Of course, if Gerald doesn't dare, or doesn't have the confidence to hold on ten minutes, he can leave now Earl added, "By the way, since it's a tough test, I'll remind you. When the fight begins, if you are injured or lose your life, don't blame us!"
"Damn it, bastard!" Triston cursed aside.
Earl was threatening. Gerald narrowed his eyes and said, "Since it complies with the rules, if you want to make a move, then go ahead. I will try my best to resist it!"
"Gerald!" Keenan frowned.
"Gerald, you are bold!" Eaton said with a smile.
Karla looked at Gerald in surprise, her eyes revealing a trace of amazement.
On an airport in Chicago....
Outside the airport, two extended luxury cars parked there. Inside the car, there were three old men. If Gerald was there, he would recognize these three people. They were Edward, Steven, and Victor.
The three were sitting there with nervous expressions.
During this period, the three clans suffered a lot of pressure, and their industries were constantly being suppressed and exploited!
First, in the battle of Agepsta Mountain, they harmed Gerald, leaving Gerald on the verge of death. But he didn't die!
They insisted that they did not do it. Without evidence, it was not good for Night Watch to do anything to them directly.
Second, during Elite Ghost's large-scale invasion, they did not choose to fight. Instead, they only cared about their family members and did not even offer any help at all. So, Night Watch excluded them from the plan of
eliminating Voyage.
After things cooled down, the Industries of the three clans began to be suppressed!
Martial clubs were prosperous. Originally, as big as their families were, they could open a martial arts club with super-level experts around and rise to fame.
However... they failed.
During this period, the three clans had a rather difficult time!
They were looking for a way out!
At the airport, more than ten people slowly walked out. After they passed the inspection, they put on their masks. The person at the front was a gentleman in a suit with a cane in his hand! It was Dr. T and his
men.
Dr. T saw two luxury cars. He smiled and quickly walked over.
