Chapter 2281

He grabbed the book steadily and continued reading after licking his finger.Gerald did not stay idle. Instead, he cleaned up the stone table, walked to the previous bookshelf, and started rummaging.***Meanwhile, in the Grubb family, under the instructions of the butler, the footage of the surveillance system over the recent week was checked.“Where is Gerald?” Lucian glanced at the footage and turned around to ask the butler behind him.“Master, Mr. Gerald has gone out this morning, saying that he is investigating something. He estimated that he would take around two to three days to come back,” said the butler.“Where is the young man who came with him?” Lucian asked.“In the guest room. However, this gentleman has not been in a very good mood. He didn’t eat the three meals sent to him today. He only asked for a few cups of water from the servants,” said the butler.“Sigh. I guess the higher-ups from Weston must have put pressure on him to get Lindsay out safely of Yanam. S

Lucian was a little surprised and wondered why Aiden’s reaction was so intense, but he didn’t question the latter any further.“We all know that Lindsay will definitely not be in danger. Don’t worry!” Lucian continued.“By the way, Patriarch Lucian, do you think it could be the work of the war department of Yanam?” Aiden dragged Lucian into a small room, closed the door, and asked in a soft voice.“What do you mean?” Lucian frowned.“You should know that Brother Gerald and I have had a conflict with the war department of Yanam before, right?” Aiden gulped and asked. Ever since he had woken up, this thought had been on his mind the whole day. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.“I know. Gerald killed the high elders of the three largest families, and even the former head of the war department, Godwin Linwod, has disappeared strangely. This was also done by you guys, right?” Lucian nodded. This matter was no longer a secret in Yanam. Everyone knew about i

“There is no need to thank me. I am Lindsay’s uncle. You were only ordered to protect her. Talking about gratitude, I should be the one to thank you. I thank you for being so attentive. Even after your mission ended, you’re still very much concerned about Lindsay’s safety.”Lucian grabbed Aiden’s hands. He had not seen such a sentimental young man for a long time. Although he was acquainted with some outstanding people in this industry, those were merely profit-oriented men who were good at flattering people. “Uncle Grubb, you’d better contact them quickly. I honestly feel that this was done by the war department.” Aiden continued.“Okay, I’ll call those friends and ask them to find out what is going on in the war department. I’ll let you know if I find anything.”“However, you must stay in the manor. Don’t rush out on a whim. With your strength alone, even if Lindsay was truly locked up there, before you can even find her, you’ll be caught.”Lucian was still a little worried, so

“Then, you can only continue searching here. It just so happens that I haven’t seen a single person here for decades, so you can chat with me.” The old man couldn’t help but show a smile on his face.“Didn’t you go out and buy something just now?” Gerald glanced at the garbage he had just cleaned up.“That’s different. If you were not here today, I would not have gone out. Before this, I would only go out once a week. If I keep staying in this stone chamber, I will turn into a psycho sooner or later.”The old man rolled over and said, “Some years ago, there were still some people who tried to break in. I could still tease them for fun, but now, I don’t encounter those types anymore.”“Tease them?”Gerald raised his head and looked around the cave. Seeing the white bones on the ground, he suddenly felt a cold shiver running down his spine.“I’m just joking.” The old man shook his head.“By the way, did the former chief of Yanam come here before? I followed him to get here in the

Gerald walked to the front of the bookshelf and continued to search with the cigarette still in his mouth.***Meanwhile, as Gerald was still looking for the records of the Seadom tribe, far away in a secret base in the outskirts of Yanam, Lindsay had already been locked up there for three days.She had been locked up in an almost pitch-black prison with no light, and there were only about four to five square feet of space. When she walked forward, she could feel the cold iron bars.“Mealtime!”An impatient and noisy voice came from the distance.Not long after that, Lindsay saw the light of a flashlight. It was with this faint light that she was able to see her surroundings.She was indeed in a very small prison. The surroundings seemed to be of the same construction, but it seemed like she was the only one being held here.Lindsay never heard any other voice or saw anyone else sending food to the other cells.Just as she was thinking about this, a rather old lunchbox was thr

Chapter 2286

A thick iron door was installed to the house and the prison, and not a beam of light could come in.“Do you think it’s necessary to transfer all the people locked up here just because of this girl?” When he came up, a man in the uniform of the war department of Yanam asked.These two people were the soldiers of the war department. They had been ordered to guard Lindsay. One of them was a leader of a small team of the war department, and another one was his subordinate.“Don’t ask. This is not what we should know. Since it is a mission from the higher-ups, we should just follow the order without question. Be careful not to get into trouble!” The one who had come up from the prison was the leader. Hearing his subordinate’s words, he scolded him hurriedly in a low voice.“There are only two of us here. Besides, I am just whining to you, Leader. How can I say this to other people?” Being stuck here for two days, the subordinate felt rather bored.Apart from the man who sent food and d

As long as he could kill Gerald, he would be able to establish his position in the war department.Still, he didn’t expect that Gerald would actually come back, and when he suggested this to Carter, his suggestion had been firmly rejected.If they had followed his suggestion, Gerald would have died at sea by now.But now, they had let Gerald enter Yanam. He remembered clearly what had happened the last time Gerald had come, so he was worried that Gerald would find this place. After all, the impact Gerald had given him the last time was too strong. He had to be well-prepared.“We are not afraid of any danger!” The captain simply did not care about what he was saying and bit the bullet as he agreed to it.“You can go out and prepare. Do it fast.” The middle-aged man nodded and waved his hand at the people outside.“Yes!” Unexpectedly, apart from the few standing at the door, a dozen men from outside also replied in unison.“What is this?” The captain asked carefully.“I am settin

“What exactly is her identity?”The captain looked at the skinny girl in the cell and asked curiously.Many people had been held in this secret prison, but no one had been treated so seriously before to the extent that they had to set traps outside. “Do you know that there are things you should not ask?” The middle-aged man glared at him and scolded him in a low voice.The captain shuddered and did not dare to say anything anymore.“Miss Lawrence, we will meet again. But when it happens, it will not be in this place.” The middle-aged man looked at Lindsay. After saying this, he turned around and left.Lindsay stood in the cell. She had roughly figured out the situation. She was most probably bait to attract his target, and the target should be Gerald, who had made trouble in the war department of Yanam before.Other than that, Lindsay really couldn’t think of a reason for the war department of Yanam to abduct her.***In the Grubb family.Lucian received news from the war depa

Chapter 2289

“Maddox Chabert? Isn’t he the person in charge of the sea? How can he be related to this matter?” The butler was confused.“You don’t know that when Gerald returned to Yanam, the war department knew about it at once. Maddox planned to directly exterminate Gerald at sea, but Carter refused it firmly. If Lindsay’s disappearance truly has something to do with him, he should be planning to use her to threaten Gerald.”“In that case, Brother Lawrence should not know about this. Or, if he knows a little, he is unlikely to say it directly. After all, it’s the war department who is responsible. If he reports it, it will inevitably make things even bigger.” Lucian smoked his cigarette as he analyzed things.“Then, we cannot just stand by and watch. Master, I think I should remind you of this. Although our family has a high position in Yanam, we cannot fall out with the war department because of Lindsay. That would be very bad for us.”The butler was worried that Lucian might not consider

“Look for it yourself. I am already so old. My physical strength has long been exhausted.” The old man shook his head and lit a cigarette.“Who would believe that?” Gerald said disdainfully.“I can’t help you search for it, but if you are interested, I can teach you how to make your essential qi resonate with the surrounding natural energy.” The old man shook his head.“Really?” The moment he heard that, Gerald’s eyes shone immediately. However, after a while, he shook his head and refused. “Forget it. I’ll just continue to look for what I need.”“Oh? Are you not interested?” The old man did not expect that Gerald would say that.“I’m very interested in it.” Gerald shook his head again.“Become my apprentice, and I can teach you.” The old man threw away the cigarette and said seriously.“If it were any other time, I would surely agree to it immediately. But now, I still have many things to settle. Besides, controlling natural energy is certainly not something that can be learned
