Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 987 Identity

Ms. Cat, Gerald, Carolyn, and Valery were the only ones left in the room.

“Please sit down! If you continue to resent me after I say what I need to, then I’ll just have

to accept it,” Ms. Cat pleaded. “Gerald, I genuinely considered you to be my friend.”

Gerald remained silent, studying Ms. Cat intently and pondering over a question without

offering any immediate response.

There was no chance of escaping this place, even if he were to kidnap Ms. Cat now. The

answer was obvious, as the man with a Square Face was too frightening, and Gerald did

not feel like he had an opportunity to fight back. However, Gerald was not someone who

would give up easily; that just wasn’t his nature.

As for Ms. Cat, whatever she had to say no longer mattered to Gerald.

Gerald then suddenly remembered a saying: [Those who are not of our kind will have

different hearts!]

First there was Skyler, then there was Ms. Cat. Gerald had done them both a favor, but

eventually Skyler turned on him, and now Ms. Cat plotted against him.

Seeing Gerald’s expression, Ms. Cat let out a sigh and said, “Gerald, I know you’re angry.

I don’t even know if you’ll hear me out, but please just listen.”

“I am a descendant of Geza the Great!” Ms. Cat declared.

Ms. Cat then continued. “The man with the square face from earlier, Kristopher, has

survived since the time of my ancestors. He is extremely powerful and also very

persistent.”

Ms. Cat sighed and said, “Kristopher has always been determined to restore the nation.”

Gerald shook his head and said, “This has nothing to do with me. I’m not interested in

your background or history.”

Ms. Cat paid no attention to Gerald’s words and went on to say, “To tell you the truth,

most of the Eight Forces have been active since the time of my ancestors. When my

ancestor died in battle, all those who knew the location of the tomb went and buried

themselves in it.”

“After the death of my ancestors, there was a period of chaos. During that chaotic era, King Lamont,

the Nether King of Nether Palace, rose to power,” Ms. Cat said. “You probably haven’t heard about the

story of the Nether Palace.”

Gerald’s heart stirred slightly. Ms. Cat, being the descendant of Geza the Great, might actually know

more about the Nether Palace.

Gerald remained silent and let Ms. Cat continue to speak.

“Later, for some reason, the Nether Palace launched an expedition to Nebula but suffered a major

defeat, and the Eight Forces rose to power, establishing the current rules. As a descendant of Geza the

Great, I have always lived on the three satellites, and the Eight Forces are aware of our existence and

treat us relatively politely. As for

restoring the country, I have never considered it and feel that living like this is quite nice,”

said Ms. Cat.

Gerald’s heart stirred slightly again. The identity of Ms. Cat was obviously not ordinary, and he was a

bit surprised why someone with such a status would want to become an

assassin in the City of Phoenix.

Ms. Cat continued, “I didn’t want to restore the country, but Kristopher had different

thoughts. He had been searching for the location of our ancestor’s tomb, wanting to

obtain something from it and start a war to conquer Havotune again.”

“When the Underground Palace appeared, we immediately came here, but we needed

both Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone to access the core area,” Ms. Cat explained. “I

knew you had the body of Dragon Bone, but I never mentioned it because I knew what

would happen if you were exposed.”

Ms. Cat continued, “Recently, a man named Skyler Mahoney came and revealed your and

this young lady’s identities to me. I was quite surprised when I heard it.” She added, “Later, I recalled

that you had met Skyler during your trial in the Nether Domain with

Anabel. That must be when Skyler learned about you and leaked the information.”

“Today, Skyler contacted us again, saying he had found your whereabouts and has been reporting your

location. When Kristopher answered his phone, I was next to him. Knowing Kristopher’s personality, he

would have silently tried to kill anyone around you

to avoid exposing you, and then taken the two of you to the core of the palace.”

“And most likely, you all wouldn’t survive if that were to happen,” said Ms. Cat.

“I didn’t want that to happen, so I told Kristopher that I know you and can lead you out

without being noticed. However, he had to agree to spare your lives after everything is

done,” Ms. Cat said.

Deeply frowning, Gerald felt uncertain about whether to trust Ms. Cat or not.

It made sense if what she said was true. Gerald thought deeply into the matter and

realized there did not seem to be any inconsistencies in Ms. Cat’s story.

“I apologize for not telling you about this plan earlier,” Ms. Cat said. “But I had no control

over Kristopher’s thoughts, and I had no other options.”

“I’ll trust you for now,” said Gerald calmly.

Ms. Cat shook her head and said, “I have explained everything; I even revealed my background.

Anyway, I have nothing to hide. You saved my life before, and this is my way of repaying the debt. But

when the Underground Palace opens, the secret of your Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone will most

likely be exposed. So be careful from then on!”

Ms. Cat seemed to have explained enough; whether to believe her or not was up to

Gerald.

“What exactly did you mean by collaborating?” Gerald asked once again.

“The so-called collaboration is simple!” Ms. Cat said, “My clan wants to restore its country. Since you

have the Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone, these two may make many people covet them, but they can

also become the faith of many people and have. considerable appeal in this world. So I want you to

cooperate with us. We can use your fame, or we can hype that you both are the reincarnations of Geza

the Great and the Princess. Plus, we can help you wipe out the Four Ancient Families of the City of

Phoenix, which is just a matter of moving our fingers.”

Gerald frowned and declined, saying, “I’d rather not destroy the Four Ancient Families. I’m in on the

other for this time, but when the Underground Palace opens, we’ll leave.”

After saying that, Gerald looked at Ms. Cat and asked, “If what you said is true and your are a noble,

why did you become an assassin at Rho Guild?”

With a faint smile, Ms. Cat said, “I was bored and wanted to add some excitement to my

life.”

Ms. Cat looked at Gerald’s skeptical expression and smiled again. “To tell you the truth, there is

another reason. Since I mentioned the Nether Palace to you, let me say more. Rho Guild belongs to

the Herman family of the City of Phoenix, which has a long history. But later, it was destroyed by the

Four Ancient Families and lost the City of Phoenix, and then it went underground.”

“To add to it, they were backed by the Nether Palace,” said Ms. Cat with a smile.

Although a chill ran down Gerald’s spine, he remained expressionless.

“Rho Guild was actually the name of the assassin division of the Nether Palace in ancient times. Its

lineage is connected to the current Soulreaper Sect, which has completely betrayed the Nether Palace.

The Herman family was once a branch of the Soulreaper Sect, and it has been passed down in the City

of Phoenix,” explained Ms. Cat with a smile. “I infiltrated the Rho Guild to gather information on the

Nether Palace, but I haven’t gained much over the years. However, being an assassin has been quite

interesting.”

Thoughts were already rushing through Gerald’s mind at this point.

The more Gerald thought about it, the more it seemed like the things that had happened to him since

he came to Havotune were like a game, and he was just a pawn in it!

Gerald became an assassin for the Rho Guild to take on the Four Ancient Families.

Now that Ms. Cat has revealed to Gerald that the Rho Guild was a division of the assassin organization

of the Nether Palace!

Gerald had made the acquaintance of Benson, who hailed from the enigmatic the Pierce

family of Rime City.

Gerald got to know Anabel and became involved with the Eight Forces.

Gerald’s acquaintance with Ms. Cat revealed her to be a descendant of Geza the Great, and as a

result, he got embroiled in the Underground Palace incident.

It took Gerald a long time to regain his composure, and then he turned to Ms. Cat and asked coldly,

“Will Skyler be coming to the Underground Palace with us tonight?”
