Chapter 590

In Marvel, the System Works for Me

He was about to thrust again when Julian pressed both hands against his chest. "Listen!"

Now David heard it too.

It sounded like someone making strange cries.

The sounds were a jumble. He couldn't make out a word.

A possibility occurred to David. "Don't tell me Matt's messing with us! Damn it, I'll knock his front teeth out."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. David pulled on his pants and stormed out of the tent.

Julian was left alone inside. Uneasy, she strained her ears.

Suddenly—

A dull thud came, followed by the sound of something being dragged.

"David?"

"David!"

"Don't scare me. I scare easily."

"Are you still out there?"

Julian's voice trembled with tears.

A huge, broad-shouldered figure appeared at the tent flap.

One glance sent Julian into a hysterical scream.

"Ah!

!"

Her shriek pierced the night, startling a nocturnal forager into lifting its head and looking around.

Geralt was genuinely surprised to get a call from Caitlin.

"Will you take the job?"

"No." Geralt refused without hesitation.

It had only been a week since the Hellhound Incident, and he and Nancy were wrapped up in a torrid affair... er, deeply in love. If he wanted work, he could browse the Demon Hunter Website himself.

"Don't turn it down so quickly. The client is the Gates Group."

"The Gates Group?"

Geralt had never heard of it.

On the other end of the line, Caitlin rubbed her forehead. Geralt knew a great deal, but only about demon hunting. He understood less about the ordinary world than an ordinary person.

He was like a student who excelled in one subject and failed the rest.

"The Gates Group is one of Phoenix City's largest conglomerates," Caitlin said.
