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.

As Watchmen, those who were at the primary level were qualified to get on the battlefield. As for

those who were at the advanced level, they could form a Pathbreaker team. Team 11762 was a

Pathbreaker team when it was just formed, the team members of which were all at the advanced level.

Back then, there were only three top–level Watchmen among them, who were Gerald, Carolyn, and

Terry.

It was only later on that all the team members apart from Claude had leveled up to become top–level

Watchmen.

And in this town, almost everyone Gerald caught sight of was at the advanced level or above. For a

town that had a population of several thousand people, it was impressive.

“Shocked?” Charles looked at Gerald and asked with a hint of pride in his tone.

Gerald let out a breath and nodded slightly.

“From now on, everything you see and hear is the top secret of the Night Watch,” Charles said

indifferently. “Although you are no longer a Watchman, Blaine thinks it’s okay for you to know

about those secrets.”

Then Charles said faintly, “This is the biggest trump card within the American Night Watch, also

our last resort!”

Speaking of this, Charles sighed, “It’s just that I don’t know how many of them will survive the war

once it breaks out.”

“Let’s get–in!” Charles said.

Gerald, Valery, and Claude were shocked. And just as they were about to go into the town, they saw a

figure carrying a backpack walking out from the streets slowly.

The figure was tall and had short hair. Her skin was fair like snow, and her face looked calm.

Suddenly, she looked up and saw Gerald and Valery. Then, with a look of ecstasy revealed on her face,

she said, “Gerald! Dr. Manning!”

And soon, her eyes landed on Claude, which brought a tear to her eye right away. Then at breakneck

speed, she rushed up to the three, well, to Claude to be precise. After that, she threw her arms around

Claude’s neck as she burst into tears. “Claude! Claude! You are here too. I miss you so

much!”

“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.”
