Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 1080 Undercurrents Stirring
Gerald was still in a deep slumber, his body completely lifeless. It seemed as if his energy was depleting, with only a lingering
breath of life remaining.
Valery stayed by Gerald’s side, for two days straight, without a wink of sleep.
During this time, Kristian brought over some food for them, but Valery had no appetite at all. She couldn’t eat a single bite, as
she was quite worried about Gerald’s condition!
Equally worried was Triston, who, under Get Benim the care of Valery’s life attribute, had recovered physically within two days.
Having experienced both a battle across levels and a life–and–death struggle, his strength had somewhat improved after his
recovery.
However, Gerald’s situation kept him awake at night!
Gerald was the spiritual pillar of Night
Watch, and Triston, previously known as Watchman No. o, considered himself the strongest. However, ever since he started
following Gerald and came to Havotune to carry out their mission, Triston developed immense admiration for Gerald, even
becoming somewhat dependent on him.
Gerald’s current situation is that he’s hanging by a thread, and could die at any moment. Triston is somewhat unclear about what
they should do if something were to happen to Gerald.
Should we go back to the City of Phoenix?
Should we still go and retrieve Ingenious Needles?
He felt that everything in the future, along with Gerald’s fall, was shrouded in a layer of gray.
In the past couple of days, the news of Dragon Bone’s owner, Gerald, appearing on Promise Island has spread throughout the
entire island.
?
The owner of Dragon Bone had long been famous throughout Havotune, as well as his identity of Alcoholic’s apprentice.

Havotune’s adventures in the Underground Paláce, where he and Carolyn piloted the dragon and phoenix statues to battle
against the Eight Forces, and his experiences as a supreme peak Flame Decayer before the age of thirty, were all legendary
tales.
In fact, during this period, many people were investigating the origins of Gerald and his companions, but no one knew the truth. It
was only after their fierce battle with the Four Ancient Families that most people speculated that Gerald and his friends must
have been from the City of Phoenix, and had suffered oppression bet bonus from the Four Ancient Families of the City of
Phoenix!
Gerald’s experiences were enough to astonish and thrill many people.
The news of his desire to create a city of equality for all spread throughout Havotune, eliciting both hatred and excitement from
its inhabitants.
Regrettably, it is the upper–class people who are resentful, while naturally, it is the lower–class people who are excited.
Although Gerald had not reached the eternal level of Flame Decay yet, his experiences since the Underground Palace had
already become legendary. His every move was closely watched by many people.
The news of his appearance on Promise Island spread rapidly, reaching the main continent,
There was no way around it. When Gerald and Nolan fought, many people saw it. Gerald’s group didn’t completely wipe out
Micah’s men, and there were quite a few people in the base who noticed it as well.
Many people from the outside world were speculating about the reason behind Gerald’s arrival at Promise Island.
Some people speculated that Gerald might be searching for something, while others guessed that Gerald might have come to
Promise Island to seek a way to break through the eternal level of Flame
Decay.
After all, everyone knows about the three–year agreement between Alcoholic and the Eight Forces!
In any case, for whatever reason, news about Gerald had leaked out on this side, and the reactions from various parties were
quite different. The Eight Forces each issued their own orders, but as for the content of those orders, no one knew.

The undercurrents on Promise Island had nothing to do with Gerald. Over the past two days, he had been lying in bed,
motionless, showing no signs of recovery.
On this day, Valery carefully wiped Gerald’s body as usual, and then injected some nutrient solution into him, ensuring that
Gerald’s nutritional needs were met.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door of their residence. Triston went to open it, and Anabel walked in with two others.
Glancing at Gerald, Anabei frowned and asked, “Still no signs of recovery?”
“No!” Valery said, “He’s still like this. I wonder how long it will take to recover.”
Anabel sighed and said, “After all, the opponent is Eternal Flame Decayer. It’s still too much of a stretch for Gerald to handle.”
After speaking, she looked at the somewhat haggard Valery and said, “Valery, you haven’t slept for more than two days. You
should get some rest now.
We’ll take good care of Gerald here.”
Valery bit her lip and said, “I’m fine.”
Anabel, Sylvie, and the others were momentarily stunned. Then, Anabel turned her gaze towards Kristian!
A hint of embarrassment flickered across Kristian’s face.
Is there anything else you need?” Valery asked.
Kristian nodded and said, “Yes! Elder
Pierce mentioned... he would like to have a chat with you all. It’s about the search for Ingenious Needles.”
Valery nodded and said, “Triston, Hector, you two go and talk to Mr. Pierce.“.
Triston nodded, then looked at Valery and said, “Alright.”
At this moment, Sylvie said, “You guys go ahead, I’ll stay with Valery.” Anabel nodded.
After they left, Sylvie looked at Valery and smiled slightly, saying, “Valery, do you believe me?”

Valery looked at her in puzzlement and asked, “I don’t understand what you mean.
“If you believe me, then go take a break,” Sylvie said. “I did a divination for Gerald, and the result indicates that he will make a
miraculous recovery.”
“I don’t believe in these mystical things,” Valery shook her head.
Sylvie laughed and said, “My attribute is divination, which simply means I can see glimpses of the future. My divination is Chanot
considered mysticism.”

“Hmm?” Valery paused and asked,
“Divination attribute?”
“Yes, so the reason you saw me killing those people in a bizarre way that day was because I was able to predict their every
move. It seemed as if they were running into my attacks,” Sylvie said. “I also saw that Gerald had a chance to survive and make
a miraculous recovery.”
“Really?” Valery asked, her face showing a hint of excitement.
Sylvie nodded and said, “Really, so you can rest assured and go get some rest.
You don’t want Gerald to wake up and see you looking completely exhausted, do you?”
Valery hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “Alright! I’ll take a short nap, then. Can you please watch over Gerald
for a while?”
She walked over to the bed in the room and lay down, while Sylvie turned her head to look at Gerald, her eyebrows furrowed.
She murmured, “I... actually can’t see your future, nor do I know your situation. All I know is that if it were you, you probably
wouldn’t want to see your wife so exhausted.”
“You’ll wake up, right?” Sylvie said,
“Because of you, my attribute has probably been exposed. You have to regain consciousness, reach the eternal level of Flame
Decay, and protect me!”

As Sylvie was persuading Valery to take a break, on the other side, within a certain room.
Triston and Hector were sitting there, and across from them, Dante was holding a cup of a coffee–like beverage, grinning at the
two of them.
“Mr. Pierce, please feel free to speak your mind,” Triston said.
“Today, I’ve called you all here to mainly discuss the matter of searching for the Ingenious Needles,” Dante said. “As you can
see, Gerald’s condition is quite serious. We don’t know when he’ll regain consciousness, or even if he’ll be able to wake up at
all.”
Triston frowned and said, “Mr. Pierce, I don’t quite like what you’re saying. Gerald will definitely come to his senses.”
“All right!” Dante said, “I came to you guys to suggest that we start looking for Ingenious Needles sooner rather than later,
preferably in the near future. Of course, I think the distribution of Ingenious Needles needs to be changed!”
Triston and Hector’s pupils shrank almost simultaneously!
Nearby, Kristian and Sylvie’s brows furrowed.
“What kind of changes?” Triston’s voice became somewhat chilly.
Dante didn’t seem angry. He calmly said, “It’s still a four to six split, but we, the Archaic Tribe, will take 60%, and you guys will
get 40%.”
