Chapter 222
Chapter 222 Gerald Impresses the Audience
Gerald looked at Derick with great interest.
He found that Derick was quite interesting.
To some extent, Gerald felt that Derick was somewhat similar to Zackary. They were both always smiling all the time.
Derick wasn't angry or surprised when he found that it was Ingrid who brought Gerald here.
After Gerald was provoked by others, Derick didn't help him but proposed to fight to decide the
winner.
In the end, after Gerald injured Mark's people, Derick did not pursue Gerald and suggested that the
party should go on.
Derick didn't allow others to raise any objections at all.
Mark was extremely pale. Looking at Landen and Alex who were lying on the ground, he felt distressed. He looked at Derick and said, "What if I don't let it go? My sons are beaten up. How can I just let it go?" "You can only blame them for being weak. Also, Mark, this is my birthday party," Derick said.
Mark looked gloomy. But there was nothing he could do now. So he could just let it go for the moment. He said, "Alright, Mr. Jackson. I'll let this go for the moment for your sake."
As he spoke, he looked at Gerald and said, "Gerald, right? Let's have a fight when we are back in Washington."
"OK," Gerald touched his nose and said.
Gerald was a little surprised that Mark was actually afraid of Derick.
Gerald had been to Washington many times and knew about the Jackson family.
However, although the Jackson family was also a martial arts family, just like the Maddox family, it lived in the city and rarely got in touch with the underground world. Different from the Maddox family, which was quite high-profiled in business, the Jackson family was very low-key and wasn't engaged in many businesses.
But now it seemed that the Jackson family was not ordinary.
Eddie also revealed a smile. He knew that Gerald was at the super level, and if Mark wanted to find trouble with Gerald, Mark would be asking for trouble.
Mark fixed his eyes on Gerald for a moment before he walked to the door and asked the waiters to carry Alex and Landen out.
After they left, Derick said, "There was a little incident. Everyone, let's continue eating."
Gerald slowly walked down from the stage. He glanced at Darian and Darrell, who were not far away, and frowned slightly.
In fact, his real purpose in coming here this time was to teach Darrell a lesson for Abraham. But Derick had called it off. Gerald had no choice but to let them go. Darrell and Darian looked pale as well.
Darrell could feel that Gerald was stronger than he had expected.
If he knew that Gerald was at the super level, his jaw would drop.
After Gerald walked down from the stage, everyone looked at him with new eyes.
The people here all practiced martial arts, so they only respected the strong. If Gerald was so strong at this age, he would definitely become a grandmaster in the future. Ingrid looked at Gerald with admiration.
Gerald winked at her and ran to the table to sit down. Those who wanted to see Gerald turn himself
into a laughing joke dared not speak again. And they looked at Gerald with shock.
Gerald had become the main character of the party.
No one had expected things to go this way.
After a while, Derick held a bottle of wine and began to toast to his guests. Soon, he came to Gerald,
patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Gerald, you're awesome to reach the top level at such a
young age. And you should have only started practicing martial arts after being sent to prison. You're so talented. Although my granddaughter has also reached the top level, she has practiced
martial arts since she was a child."
Gerald smiled and said, "Mr. Jackson, you flatter me. I was just lucky."
Derick then said, "Speaking of which, I have an old friend. He likes to stir up trouble and then stay in prison. He said that the people in prison are nice to talk to. I wonder if you know him and learn from him." Gerald was a bit surprised. He did not expect there to be such a person in prison.
However, Gerald said with a smile, "I don't think so. My master is very low-key and doesn't want me to tell others about him." "Then he must be my friend," Derick said. "My friend, as you said, is also very low-key, and he is skilled at teaching children." As they spoke, the others became curious.
The crowd did not expect that there was such a person in this world.
Gerald was happy to know this. He did not deny it, nor did he admit it. He just smiled and said, "Derick, happy birthday."
Derick smiled slightly, then looked at Leana beside him, and said to Gerald, "Gerald, are you single
now?"
"Huh?" Gerald was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Derick heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. What do you think of my granddaughter?"
Gerald turned his head and looked at Leana.
Leana's face turned slightly red.
Derick said worriedly, "My granddaughter is pushy. She once said that if she wants to marry, she has to marry someone who can beat her. She is talented and has reached the top level at a young age. Those who can beat her are old. Her parents died early, and I am very worried about her marriage. Since you can beat her, do you want to think about it?"
Speaking of this, he sighed slightly.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Leana hurriedly said.
Gerald quickly said, "Mr. Jackson must be joking."
Gerald realized those old men seemed to have the same problem. They liked to set their daughters
or granddaughters up.
Bradley or Abraham did the same.
"Hahaha," Derick let out a hearty laugh.
He raised his glass and clinked it with Gerald's. "It's just a joke. It's better to leave it to you to decide. However, I feel that Leana and you will be a good match."
Gerald looked a bit embarrassed.
"Alright, enjoy yourselves. If you have any needs, just tell the waiter," Derick smiled. He turned around with his hands behind his back and walked towards his seat. Gerald breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to turn around, he frowned slightly.
He looked back at Derick's hands on his back.
Derick was secretly making some movements.
"This is... This is the signal of Night Watch." Gerald's heart pounded.
3/4
He wondered if Derick was a Watchman.
For a moment, Gerald's scalp was a little numb.
Few people knew the gesture, which Watchmen would use when they communicated privately.
Gerald had come to Washington many times, but he didn't know Derick.
"Who is he?" Gerald was shocked. "Watchman No. 1? Or someone from some other secret
department?"
Gerald did not know. His eyes fell on Derick's gesture.
"Keep a low profile. There are enemies here."
Derick was hinting at Gerald.
Gerald was a bit alert. No wonder Derick had deliberately said that he had an old friend in prison. It
was obvious that Derick had discovered that Gerald was a Watchman and even knew his identity. He
had specially come over to cover for Gerald.
Gerald thanked Derick in his heart, and at the same time, he turned around, sweeping back and forth on some people.
