Gerald was intrigued.“If what I'm recalling is correct, a call for a joint effort is super rare for the global IAA, isn't it?”Professor Julian nodded his head sharply.“That's right. Every professor with every IAA branch possesses their earned confidence. Getting archaeologists and antiquarians of different branches to work together on something has to be prioritized in terms of estimated rewards that would most likely circulate well enough.”Gerald caught on to what Juliet’s father was saying.“So the headquarters have taken satisfactory reports to determine that the Mesopotamian ruin in Iraq has enough antiques and archeological bodies to pique everyone's interest. There's really enough reward to go around?”Professor Julian nodded his head.“Based on the reports that were briefed in the memo, I believe so. The branch Vice chairman, Dr. Wallace K Rainier, is currently selecting the team to go.”Gerald thought about it. “How many quotas are we given, and how many are we asked to

Juliet sat up straight as he stared at the figure entering the private room.“Speak of the devil. Dad, what are you doing here?”Everyone turned to find Chancellor/Professor Julian Dalton walking into the room with his private protection unit leader, Alan Fu, walking right behind him.“Hello, everyone. Apologies if I'm intruding on your private meeting. I just needed to chat with Gerald for a bit.”Alan Fu bowed respectfully to Head Bodyguard Kevin and Personal Assistant Richard before going down on one knee before Gerald.“Young Master Gerald.”Gerald nodded his head in acknowledgement of the private protection unit subleader. “You’re Subleader Alan Fu, aren't you? I've read reports of you dealing with multiple attacks laid on Chancellor Dalton these past few months. Well done.”Hearing those words of praise from the heir apparent himself filled this ASFB Subleader with a lot of joy.“Thank you, Young Master Gerald!”Kevin then dismissed the subleader as Juliet got up to help open
Chapter 650
Although, the Blank, Lambert, and Wes families have all gone relatively quiet following the death of the former rulers, as well as the country's most elite law enforcement agencies cracking down on the crimes being committed by these families, Gerald and his crew are well aware that these three aristocratic families are cooking up something in the dark.Terry leaned forward, his voice unconsciously dropping to a whisper, as if the person his best friend just named dropped is in the private room of the mega cafe with them.“Did she catch you? Roxy Anecdote is a senior member of Pneuma Imperium, right? She's a very powerful psychic. Did she sense your presence in the room?”Juliet followed suit.“Did you locate her hideout? Where is she hiding within this vast megacity? If we can find her, launching a surprise attack to take her down is not impossible. With over a thousand AFSB Squad-9 bodyguards who have gone through a double evolutionary phase, taking her down for good shouldn't be t

Gerald nodded his head while staring into the space of nothingness.“I kinda wished I didn't have to talk about it.”He took a sip of coffee as he was met with silence. It was meaningful in the sense that his best friend and girlfriend were letting him know that it was okay if he wasn't in the mood to talk about what was bothering him.Feeling the warmth of their concern and respect, he couldn't keep it bottled up any longer. Head Bodyguard Kevin and Personal Assistant Richard walked in at that time.“I was able to complete a session of frequency-shifting today. It allowed me to lock into perceived auras and then trace them down without being discovered in the process. The way it works is…..”Gerald halted his explanation before it could go any further than it had already gone. Terry was looking at him with a blank stare, and Juliet had shifted her gaze to her cup of coffee.As for the two leading subordinates, Kevin looked like he was gearing up to break down his master's technical

The next few minutes were spent calming down away from the heaviness of what happened with Landon Wommack earlier. After this, Laura got up.“I'm gonna check out the kitchen. Terry is allowing me to design it however I wish. I have to go now as the designer is here.”Gerald nodded his head, watching her leave before smiling warmly at Terry.“I'm glad she's doing great.”Terry nodded his head.“I am too. I really am.”Gerald scoffed playfully.“Don't get all soft on me now, biddy. I don't want any of those mushy words coming out of your mouth, Wommack. Sorry, I mean….Mr. Cape.”Terry scoffed as well, rolling his eyes.“Whatever, dude! I wasn't even gonna get mushy with you. I'm really liking the new last name. Honestly, why did it take me so long to reach my resolution on the last name issue?”“I should have changed it months ago. That way, that bastard wouldn't have been able to find me that easily in the first place.”Before Gerald could say anything to that, Juliet leaned forward t

“Mom, it's high time I took your name. How about Terry Cape? It's the best last name fitting for your son, don't you think?”Laura wept harder as she turned to her sob, burying her face into his chest. Terry consoled her in hushes.“Sssh! It's over, Mom. He's gone from our lives…for good, this time. We can breathe. We can live the rest of our lives the way we want to live them.”Juliet noticed her boyfriend standing close to the entrance of the private room, and with teary eyes she got up and walked over with a smile, placing a soft kiss on his lips.She gazed up at him with an expression of gratitude, as she whispered her words to him.“You were amazing down there. The way you dealt with that horrendous man.”Gerald figured they had seen everything that unfolded down on the base floor, and he couldn't help but scratch the back of his neck.“I …uh, I had no idea that Mrs. Wommack…I mean, Miss Cape, was here as well.”No matter how low Gerald's mood had sunk, he was always the consider
