Awakening the War God

Chapter 117 We're Good Siblings

With Joseph and his gang out of the picture, the black-clad adversaries didn't stand a chance.

In no time, Gabriel, Maria, Leon, and their white-clad allies had completely decimated this group of foes.

Elijah and the rest were left utterly astounded.

It turned out that the Davis family's black-clad guards were such pushovers.

Only now did they realize that perhaps the Davis family wasn't as formidable as they had believed.

Or maybe, compared to Gabriel, they were simply outclassed.

So, a group of them stood awkwardly at the villa's entrance.

Though seething with anger, they felt utterly helpless.

"Gabriel, you've caused my father's death! You're gonna pay your wretched life for that! Go to hell!"

Elijah, cradling Michael's lifeless body, was half melted in tears.

When he spotted Gabriel, he cursed through clenched teeth.

"A wretched life?" Gabriel sneered dismissively, "I reckon today is the day the Davis family's luck runs out, ever since that fool James first crossed me. Your good days, Davis family, seem to be over!"

"And your father was way too fragile, to handle a little criticism from me!"

"He deserved it."

Maria, chewing her gum, was slightly shocked.

From what Gabriel said, it seemed that Michael had been abused to death by Gabriel. No way!

If word got out, it would be quite a scandal.

After giving Elijah a piece of his mind, Gabriel turned to Leon and Maria. "Leave some of your white- clad crew here to watch over the Davis family and protect Stella. Wait for Lucas to bring his crew!"

"The three of us will enter the villa to pursue Joseph and Jack. No matter what, we can't afford to let them escape!"

Even though the Davis family's power was crumbling, the situation was far from resolved.

It appeared that Joseph and Jack were concealing something important.

Especially Joseph. They had to find out who was backing him in Silverwood!

And Gabriel wanted to personally deal with that scumbag.

"Understood!"

Maria and Leon nodded in agreement.

The white-clad crew was brought along by Leon, and after making some arrangements, the three of them were about to enter the villa.

"Gabriel!" NôvelDrama.Org © content.

At that moment, Stella called out to Gabriel.

He paused and turned to smile at Stella.

This silly girl was finally on the verge of freedom.

The Davis family-a cage for her-had been shattered.

Seeing Gabriel's smile, Stella's nerves steadied.

Especially when she noticed the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck on Gabriel's clothes, she couldn't help but smile herself.

Then, she whispered, "Take care!"

In that instant, she suddenly realized that this young man was genuinely handsome!

With a casual wave, Gabriel followed Maria into the villa.

Seeing Gabriel's retreating figure, Stella, already certain of one thing, found her heart swelled with mixed emotions.

She was in love, deeply in love with this man.

"Stella, you've got to tell Gabriel that I was coerced into joining the Dragon-Slaying Association by Samuel. Please don't let him take action against me!" Ryan, his voice trembling, pleaded.

Beside him, Samuel immediately unleashed a tirade: "You useless piece of trash! Been in the criminal underworld for so long, I've never encountered such a shameless wretch like you! Remember what you said to abuse your sister? You even suggested that she be ravaged by some other men. You heartless beast! I truly regret not chopping you up and feeding you to the dogs!"

Ryan became agitated.

He, who had always been respectful to Samuel, now stood up to him.

Pointing at Samuel, he angrily exclaimed, "You're the beast! I and my sister are good siblings, don't try to sow discord! Remember, she's my real sister!"

After saying this, he turned to Stella with a sheepish grin. "Right, Stella? You'll take care of me, won't you?"

"Snap!"

In that moment, Stella finally snapped.

Without hesitation, she delivered a fierce slap, striking Ryan's face hard.

Her anger was palpable as her chest heaved, and she shouted, "Shut your mouth!"

Ryan covered her face.

Though furious, he didn't dare to act like she used to.

He just nodded resolutely.

He had no choice but to swallow his grievance.

Stella closed her eyes in despair.

Her brother was a demon, and she had finally mustered the courage to see it.

For such a brother, the best policy was never to pamper him.

Otherwise, he'd only be encouraged to be more shameless.

But now, what hurt her even more was that her younger sister, Erica, couldn't recognize her.

In the past, Erica had been her closest and most innocent confidant.

But now, for the sake of Jack and Dellis, she manipulated and deceived Stella.

This dose of reality was too strong for Stella, and it felt like her heart was hemorrhaging.

Just then, Stella's phone rang.

She pulled out her cell and saw that it was Erica calling.

After some hesitation, she decided to answer the call.

"Hey, it's me," came Erica's somber voice as soon as the call connected.

"I know. What do you want?" Stella replied, her voice devoid of warmth.

Erica said, "Stella, I know I've deceived you, and I understand that you must be furious with me. But please, try to understand my situation. When you have a child of your own, you'll do anything for them, just like I'm doing now. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, but as sisters, I'm begging you to help me with one thing. Please, I'm begging you!"

Stella's heart skipped a beat.

She hesitated and wrestled with her emotions.

Pacing back and forth in turmoil, she didn't know what to do.

But in the end, her heart softened a bit, and she asked, "What do you need help with?"

Erica finally explained, "Honestly, I thought about dying long before. Now that the Davies family is ruined, my child has no home. I want you to take care of my child, please. After all, you're the aunt of the kid. I'll take full responsibility for my actions, even if it means facing death. But the child is innocent and deserves a better life. I can only beg you for this!"

"Where are you? Bring the child over!" Stella said.

At this moment, her heart had softened completely.

No matter what, the child was innocent.

Erica, however, replied, "I can't leave where I am right now. If I go out, I don't know what I'll face. Please come inside the villa and take Dellis with you!"

After a brief hesitation, Stella asked, "Tell me where you are."

...

...

Upon entering the villa, Maria couldn't help but ask Gabriel, "What's with all these bizarre drawings on your clothes?"

The images of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck on Gabriel's attire were rather weird.

Each glance sent an odd shiver down her spine.

She was beginning to feel unsettled.

Gabriel chuckled and said, "You've got quite an eye for it. These are hand-painted clothes, all the rage. Want me to give it a try for you someday? I'll personally paint a couple of mountains on your attire!"

"Seriously, even in times like these, you can't be serious!" Maria rolled her eyes at Gabriel's words and didn't dwell on it.

Instead, she inquired again, "What's the story with those handcuffs on your wrists? Walking around like that, you better watch out not to get into a brawl with Joseph!"

"Let's not get into that now. These handcuffs seem to have become part of my wrist, I can't shake off it no matter what. But even so, I can annihilate Joseph if it comes to it!" Gabriel replied confidently.

However, just as he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he came to a sudden halt.

His ears perked up, and he muttered, "Where did those jerks disappear to?"
