Chapter 198 Who Is He?
Eddie turned pale with fright.
He knew too well what the super level meant. It meant that Gerald was the best in this world. There
were very few people who could reach a super level, and most of them were old.
How old was Gerald? He reached the super level before he was thirty.
Eddie’s face was filled with disbelief.
“You…” He looked around and then whispered, “You are… a Watchman.”
Gerald looked at Eddie coldly. Gerald’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he calmly said, “I want to protect
Ingrid in secret, but you force me to reveal my identity again and again. If my identity is discovered by
Blood Lotus and other organizations, they will attack Ingrid while I’m away, and Ingrid will be in danger.
You have to bear all responsibility.”
Gerald added, “Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. Most of the rich men caught by Blood
Lotus will be sent to Sin City. I think you know what these handsome rich guys will face after they
are sent to Sin City.”
Eddie’s expression changed dramatically.
“I…!” Cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.
“What an idiot!” Gerald sneered, “Also, you are not young anymore. Don’t look down on others.”
After that, Gerald ignored Eddie and walked into the studio.
Eddie stood where he was and was completely stunned. He could not calm down after a long time.
Gerald shocked Eddie greatly.
Eddie had never heard of any young men who reached the super level.
Secondly, what Gerald said just now could be considered as admitting that he was from Night
Watch.
Gerald was so young and capable. Eddie was almost certain that Gerald was Watchman No. 0, who
had disappeared for three years!
Three years ago, if there was the slightest movement from Night Watch or Gerald left Night Watch,
most people in the underground world would tremble in fear.
Even though the current Watchman No. 0 made his name, he had no great influence like Gerald.
And now, Gerald was protecting Ingrid.
Eddie swallowed. Although Gerald had not made a move against him, he felt that he had escaped the
jaws of death. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Eddie’s entire body was soaked in sweat.
Watching Gerald walk into the studio, Eddie sat down on the ladder, took out a cigarette, and lit it with
trembling hands.
After taking a long drag of the cigarette, Eddie slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, Eddie decided not to reveal this matter to anyone, including the Maddox family.
With Gerald around, Ingrid’s safety would be guaranteed.
Moreover, Gerald was hidden in the dark. No one knew Gerald’s true identity. If someone attacked
Ingrid, then Gerald would be the trump card.
“Mr. Audley, another one?” At this time, a young man also came out of the studio. He took out a box of
cigarettes and asked Eddie with a smile.
Eddie was stunned for a moment, then took the cigarette box, and asked with a smile, “How’s the
work?”
“Many designers come with their own designs. Now, they have agreed to build a few factories. Several
shareholders‘ funds are in place. They will start production soon.” The young man added, “Moreover,
these designers are outstanding domestic designers. As long as the publicity is in place, the brand will
soon be established.”
Yes, for a noble family like the Maddox family, it was simple to start a brand!
They had money and connections, so they could quickly establish a brand. Next, it was up to the
final sales.
Eddie nodded and chatted with the young man. While calming himself down, Eddie diverted his
attention.
After Gerald entered the studio, he chatted with Ingrid for a while and joined Catherine in the work.
Most of the time, Gerald just discussed Ingrid’s studio and left the negotiation to Catherine.
Catherine had been doing well recently. Gerald intended to promote her. After all, it was fate that
they met.
Of course, most of the time, they were idle. After all, it was impossible to communicate all the time.
In the afternoon, someone called Gerald and sent an invitation letter to him.
Gerald walked into Ingrid’s office with the invitation letter and asked with a smile, “By the way, you are
going to attend a gathering of some rich men at night, right?”
“Yes.” Ingrid nodded and said, “How do you know?”
“I want to go as well as the representative of Wisdom Group,” Gerald said as he touched his nose.
Ingrid was stunned. Obviously, she had not expected that Wisdom Group would receive an
invitation.
This banquet, hosted by the Frey family, would pave the way for Colby and Colby would make his
public appearance for the first time.
Most of the guests were from big companies in Washington or established families.
This would help Colby get familiar with them, even though Colby was famous in Washington.
Wisdom Group was not good enough for the threshold.
Ingrid sighed, “Well, my parents asked me to go. Lcan’t do anything about it. But if you want to go
as well, I won’t be so bored.”
“I may need you to give me a ride later,” Gerald said with a smile.
“No problem!” Ingrid nodded.
“By the way, there is no need to wear suits at this gathering, right?” Gerald asked.
Gerald did not like to wear suits. Gerald entered Night Watch before graduation. There were very
few occasions where Watchmen needed to wear suits, except for at their comrades‘ funerals!
Therefore, Gerald did not like suits and even hated them.
However, on this kind of occasion, most of the guests would wear suits or dresses. If Gerald was the
only one who did not do so, it would be too eye–catching.
Ingrid shook her head and said, “No need. It is just a relatively casual gathering. Colby’s father,
Arthur Frey, said that we will get to know each other and make friends. In fact, we all know that he
wants to push Colby to the stage.”
“Are you familiar with Colby?” Gerald asked in surprise.
“Yes!” Ingrid nodded and said, “He has a good relationship with my brother, and he is good to me.
However, their reputations are bad.”
Gerald was speechless. Obviously, the title of “Washington Great Four” that Kerr was proud of was not
good in the eyes of most people!
“When the time comes, I will introduce my brother to you. He’ll go as well,” Ingrid said.
Gerald smiled, “Sure!”
At six o’clock in the afternoon, Eddie drove them to the biggest hotel in Washington, Pearl Hotel.
In fact, as the top families in Washington, they had their own core industries, and their interests
were inseparable.
Pearl Hotel was a hotel shared by several wealthy families! The banquet was held on the 19th floor
of the hotel!
After parking the car, the three took the elevator to the 19th floor. When they reached their destination,
they headed toward the banquet hall.
Two people stood at the entrance of the banquet hall. Many guests were walking towards the hall.
“Let’s go over as well,” Ingrid said with a smile.
“Ingrid!” A sound rang out.
Gerald and Ingrid turned around. Not far away, two young people were walking over. One of them was
dressed casually and looked slovenly. The other wore a suit and a pair of leather shoes.
He wore a pair of black–rimmed glasses, looking gentle!
“Sergio, Leo!” Ingrid greeted them with a smile when she saw them, but there was a trace of
uneasiness in her eyes.
Gerald’s expression changed slightly. He looked at the slovenly young man, and the corners of his
mouth twitched slightly!
The man dyed his hair blue. He had sword–like eyebrows and star–like eyes. His facial features were
distinctively outlined, and he was handsome!
Even Gerald, a man, felt that this guy was handsome and masculine.
The man walked up to Ingrid happily and touched her head. He said, “Ingrid, I heard that you have
been busy with a fashion brand recently. If you need money, tell me. I will invest in your business!”
Ingrid was just about to speak. Leo, who was beside her, looked at Gerald and frowned. “Ingrid, who is
he?”
