Chapter 1224
Their current goal was to get the thief to head to South Street. Once he was there, they would force him into the trap and capture him as soon as possible. With that in mind, Aiden quickly drove there and within five minutes, they arrived at the street. Upon arriving at the scene, Gerald saw that they were only five personnel waiting for the thief on South Street. Aiden truly wasn’t kidding when he said that their manpower was scarce. “How’s the situation?” asked Aiden the second he came close enough to the group that was already there. “As stated earlier, we’ve already locked onto Maverick and he’s going to be arriving at South Street any second now. We’ll be trying to stop him from advancing any further here. Speaking of which, why are there only three of you? Didn’t you say that you managed to get more capable hands?” asked the leader of the other team who was a rather tall woman. Hearing that, Gerald instantly stepped out of the car. He had remained seated inside earlier

“That’s right!” replied Aiden rather proudly. Since the Gerald he once knew barely had any fighting capabilities, Aiden had definitely been caught by surprise by how capable and impressive Gerald now was. Regardless, after witnessing Gerald’s true strength with his very own eyes, Aiden was certain that with Gerald’s help, they would surely be able to capture the rapist easily. If Aiden was going to be completely honest, even the most legendary of fighters in the military district weren’t worthy enough to be Gerald’s opponents at all. “…So it really is him…?” said Maia as both she and Warren took turns shaking their heads, wry smiles on their faces. “Is team Aiden really pulling our leg now? While it’s true that Gerald has a prominent background and he was quite a formidable figure in Mayberry City back then, I hope you realize that we’re currently dealing with the very cunning and capable Maverick! As a rich heir yourself, I’m sure you’ve had a good history with Gerald, but are

Seeing that there was a motorcycle nearby, Gerald quickly shouted, “Lend me that motorcycle for a moment, Aiden!” Hearing that, the one holding the keys tossed it at Gerald. After expertly catching it, Gerald quickly slid the key into the motorcycle before stepping on the gas and driving after the car as swiftly as an arrow! Watching him go after Maverick without the slightest hesitation, Maia and the others quickly snapped out of it. After making some rapid adjustments, they began their second phase of the plan by hurriedly—and rather reluctantly—chasing after both Gerald and Maverick. Noticing Gerald—who was currently on a motorcycle that was sandwiched between Maverick’s car and the others who were trying to arrest him—slowly getting closer and closer to him through the car’s rear-view mirror, Maverick couldn’t help but curse, “D*mn it! His riding skills are pretty good!” Even the two girls in the car widened their eyes in shock when they realized who was hot on their kidnap

Without witnessing it for themselves, nobody would’ve believed that all of this had truly taken place. After all, no normal person would be able to possess the immense strength to just rip a car door open with such ease while being on an actual moving car driving at such high speeds! While it was theoretically possible for someone with immense skill, strength, and balance to do so… It was simply too absurd to even think of such a person existing! Maia herself would’ve never imagined that her high school classmate—who used to be so thin and frail and was constantly worrying about how he could make more money to properly feed himself every day—could actually end up being so powerful today! Though she had already accepted that he was a rich young master for quite some time, as it turned out, he was also an extremely skillful person whose power was equivalent to a god-like top master! Warren was also in a state of utter shock at that moment. After all, he had been sitting beside Ma

“Not at all,” replied Gerald casually. Though Maia wanted to say more to express her concern, she simply couldn’t bring herself to say anything at all. After all, she had earlier looked down on Gerald, even claiming that he was going to give them more trouble than help! Well, to be more precise, she hadn’t treated him seriously at all from the moment they had first met all the way back in high school. Even when they had finally reunited in the bar years later and after Maia found out that he was extremely rich back in the Salford Province, never had she taken him seriously in the least. Regardless, Maia couldn’t help but feel her heart race now that she was standing before this strange, new Gerald. In all honesty, she now had great admiration and respect for him deep in her heart. Gerald himself barely felt the need to show off in front of Maia. After all, he didn’t need her admiration or respect to fulfill his vanity. Shaking the thought off, Gerald suddenly remembered somet
Chapter 1229
Gerald truly hadn’t expected that Noelle would behave word for word like how Aiden had predicted. After all, Aiden had told Gerald that goddesses like her enjoyed playing games of cat and mouse. In other words, they really enjoyed the process of being pursued. They particularly liked it when the ones they were after truly seemed to care for them. With that in mind, according to Aiden’s guess, even if Gerald truly had saved Noelle’s life today, she still wouldn’t take the initiative to hand him her contact number. The most she would do was chat briefly with him before turning to leave. Of course, she wouldn’t actually leave right off the bat. Instead, she would wait around a little to wait for Gerald to ask her to stay instead. This was the reason why it was oftentimes so difficult to pursue most goddesses. After all, what such girls truly enjoyed was the process of being pursued and sought after. Regardless, each and every one of Noelle’s actions were nearly identical to what A

Of course, Gerald knew that he was the only one in Mila’s heart and that she wouldn’t ever treat other guys the same way she did to him… Snapping out of it, Gerald reminded himself that it was only three days away till the middle of the month arrived. With that in mind, it was impossible for him not to feel slightly more anxious. He really needed to discuss the matter with Aiden tonight. At the very least, the good thing was that he already had a good head start now. Both of them just needed to meet up later to discuss the next steps… “You know, I have a feeling that Gerald isn’t actually interested in you, Noelle… After all, even though you told him that you wanted to learn a few self-defense techniques, to think that he’s actually forward a public contact number to you!” said Yulisa a little later. “What’s wrong with what he did? I truly am interested in learning, you know? Still, did you see how brave and heroic he looked when he saved us earlier? The more I think about it
Chapter 1231
Soon after, the very next day came. Despite facing a financial crisis, Noelle’s family still placed great importance in the preparation process for Noelle’s twentieth birthday. After all, Noelle being able to celebrate her birthday happily was the most important thing to her family. It explained how what was initially a tiny birthday banquet ended up becoming more of a large family gathering instead. The venue of the celebration itself was a large private room—that could accommodate up to thirty people—in Longthorne International Hotel that Noelle’s parents had booked for the day. Among the thirty people invited to the banquet were Noelle’s family members, her classmates, her cousins, and several other relatives including her eldest, and third uncle. They were adamant on making this birthday banquet as festive as possible in order to rid their family of their bad luck. “Sister-in-law and Second brother! Both of you are truly blessed to have such a beautiful daughter as Noel
