Chapter 400 How Miserable of Jacob

“Then I will leave it to you,” Charles said. “If I show up there, I might cause a commotion. Therefore, I’ll let Watchman No. 2 take you there. While you’re away, I can take care of some other stuff. Also, since those people still need to stay here and continue their training, don’t take them away after you visit them. Just leave by yourself.”

Gerald nodded and said, “Understood!”

After Charles left, Carolyn brought the three of them into the town.

Gerald was shocked at what he saw in the town, where everyone was at the advanced level or above, and for every seven or eight people he met, there was one top–level Watchman.

That meant that there were probably several hundred top–level Watchmen here.

And almost every team here was a Pathbreaker team. That shocked Gerald a little.

No wonder Davis was afraid of Charles. If Charles brought out any Pathbreaker team, they could flatten the entire Sin City with ease since Watchmen tended to be more tactical and cooperative

than normal people.

But then again, just like how Gerald felt when he was first here, the people here didn’t look like Watchmen at all. They seemed more like smokers and drinkers who weren’t properly dressed. Put simply, they looked just like hooligans.

Then Gerald found that many people looked at Carolyn with fear in their eyes.

”

‘Are you beating people up here like you used to?” Gerald asked.

Carolyn smiled embarrassedly and gave a little cough. Soon, they arrived at a large canteen. Then,

the four walked into it.

There were just a few diners in the canteen when they were there. Then Gerald quickly locked his

eyes on the three people not far away.

They were Erik, Hazel, and Audrey!

Gerald glanced at them, which made his expression change slightly. Erik was still at the top level

like he was when Gerald last saw him, but as Gerald could tell, after only a few months, Erik’s body

had become more solid.

Back then, Erik was still a beginner at the top level, but now, he was much stronger.

That meant he was quite a natural.

As for Hazel, she was almost at the advanced level now. But for a person like her who was originally a good fighter, she hadn’t progressed speedily as she was supposed to.

The one that surprised Gerald the most was undoubtedly Audrey. She was sitting there and nibbling

her food in her lunchbox. Her long hair was gone. Instead, she had shoulder–length hair now. There was a hint of exhaustion on her face, but she was still very pretty.

And as Gerald could tell, she was at the intermediate level now.

Before, Audrey wasn’t a fighter at all. That meant she was making progress as fast as Gerald and

Carolyn did.

It took Gerald a few months to reach the intermediate level from a beginner as well. After that, Gerald then joined Dennis‘ team and began to carry out missions.

Genius! Gerald thought to himself in surprise.

Then the four walked over. The three were chatting about something and did not seem to notice the arrival of Gerald and his fellows. Soon, Gerald was behind the three, and then he said with a smile, “For every being who is breathing!”

Audrey and Hazel trembled slightly since the voice sounded familiar. Then the two turned around, only to see Gerald who was looking at them with a smile. Audrey and Hazel stood up excitedly. Then Audrey hurried to swallow the food in her mouth and grab Gerald. “Gerald, you are here!”

Hazel nodded as well. “Right! Why are you here?”

Gerald smiled, “I’ve heard that you are missing. So I rushed here right away. But many things have happened on my way. Fortunately, you are not in danger!”

Then the four sat at the table as well. After that, Audrey began to tell Gerald about the training here. The sight of Gerald had really excited her a lot, her eyes lighting up because of that.

After chatting for a while, Gerald frowned and asked, “Right, where is Jacob?”

“Fuck you!”

Noticing that the drumstick had been eaten, Jacob suffered from a meltdown right away as he sat down where he was and said, “I quit. I don’t even get to eat. Damn it! Why do I bother to pull the stone anyway? Do you know who my friend is? Watchman No. 0, Gerald! If you keep bullying me like this, I’ll ask him to beat you up!”

“Haha!” The instructor laughed. “He can’t come here. So you don’t want to pull the stone, right? I’ll ask Marcel to sleep at your place tonight then!”

“Damn you!” Jacob flew into a rage.

“Who is Marcel? Is that a woman?” Gerald, curious, could not help but ask.

“No!” Audrey and the other two had strange expressions on their faces.

Erik gave a little cough and covered his mouth as he said, “Marcel Cohen is a man. It is said that, before he joined Night Watch, he was a performer. But his sexual orientation is gay. On the first day

Jacob came here, Marcel noticed Jacob. And then, he started to make advances on Jacob ever since!

“You know Jacob well, right? He soon made friends with Marcel as that’s what he would do to anyone. Then Jacob found out that Marcel touched him all the time. At first, Jacob thought that it was normal. So he ignored it. Later, people told Jacob that Marcel is gay. That shocked Jacob greatly,” Erik could not help but laugh as he said. “Marcel has been trying to make Jacob gay all the

while.”

Gerald then cast Jacob a sympathetic look.

He thought, Jacob… is so miserable.

As they introduced everything to Gerald, Gerald grew to understand that the rules for survival here

were even crueler than that of Sin City.

Then Gerald smiled and shouted, “Jacob!”

Jacob trembled and turned his head, only to see a large group of people standing not far away, among which there was Gerald. Jacob wiped his eyes and said, “Am I hallucinating?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I am here to visit you,” Gerald said.

Jacob was reduced to tears right away. Then he shouted, “Gerald, help! Please take me out of here! I am so miserable!”
