Chapter 159 Conflict

Chapter 159 Conflict

The blonde man had his hands tucked into the pockets of his beach shorts!

With an earring in his ear, he glanced into Gabriel Edwards's room and asked arrogantly, "Did a woman just run into your room?"

The man's tone and haughty demeanor instantly irritated Gabriel!

This punk, at first glance, was clearly up to no good.

Behind him were two bodyguards, both of whom were very tall.

He could sense that these two bodyguards were not ordinary.

They were undoubtedly two formidable experts.

Given this, the blond guy must be a spoiled brat from a prominent family.

Suppressing his anger and not wanting to cause trouble, Gabriel Edwards replied dismissively, "No, no woman entered my room."

"Move aside, let me check for myself!"

The blond guy seemed not to believe Gabriel's words and tried to push him aside to rush into the room.

But after just one step, Gabriel grabbed his shoulder, "This is my room, by what right do you enter?"

The man's rude behavior angered him.

"Boy, you dare touch me? I think you're asking for trouble!"

The blond guy turned around, his eyes fierce as he sneered.

Gabriel's anger surged. Why were there always so many arrogant fools who thought so highly of themselves?

Originally not wanting to cause trouble, he now found it hard to control himself.

With his right hand still gripping the blond guy's shoulder, his tone grew colder, "I've already touched you, what can you do about it?"

"Have some guts! You two, take him down for me!"

The blond guy shouted angrily, swinging his hand to hit Gabriel's arm. But he felt like he hit steel, causing his wrist to ache.

At the same time, the two bodyguards behind the blond guy lunged at Gabriel.

Seeing this, Gabriel Edwards forcefully pulled the blond guy and threw him towards the two bodyguards.

The two bodyguards immediately halted their attack, catching the blond guy who almost fell.

"You... get him and take him down!"

Furious, the blond guy shouted as he pushed away the bodyguard.

The two bodyguards immediately took action, but suddenly someone rushed over.

"Who dares to cause trouble on the Black Pearl?"

A tall man with a hawkish nose, dressed in a naval uniform and wearing a military cap, approached menacingly with four crew members. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

At the same time, the commotion here also alerted many other guests on the fifteenth floor.

They all opened their doors to see what was happening.

"So it's Captain Dean. You came just in time. This man hid my woman. You must help me get justice!"

Seeing Dean, the blond guy remained arrogant, playing the victim first.

Dean seemed not to smile, always frowning.

Deep wrinkles formed on his hawkish nose due to his constant frowning.

Dean said to Gabriel, "Sir, is what Mr.Garza said true? Rest assured, I am always fair. Once you're on my ship, you're my guest and I treat everyone equally."

Gabriel Edwards thought to himself, Dean was the captain, and thus one of the powers on the Black Pearl.

If Zoe's speculation was correct, it might be this man who would take over the Blood Scripture on the Black Pearl.

Now it wasn't the time to make a scene. He shrugged and said, "Well, if that's the case, I'll just tell the truth. This blond guy inexplicably knocked on my door, wanting to search for some woman. I believe that no matter where you are, no one can act so lawlessly. Even police officers need a search warrant. Captain, you should understand what I mean. That's the whole story."

Dean nodded, then apologized to Gabriel, "I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience, sir."

He then turned to the blond man, "Mr.Garza, as you know, those who stay on the 15th floor are not ordinary guests. If you have no evidence, I hope you won't disturb this gentleman."

The blond guy, now furious, retorted, "What do you mean no evidence? Don't you have surveillance cameras on this ship? Check the footage, and you'll see if my woman entered his room!"

Dean shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr.Garza. Due to the distinctiveness of our guests on the 15th floor, we don't have surveillance cameras installed there, in case our guests' privacy."

"You..." The rebuffed blond man pointed at Gabriel, threatening, "Boy, I'll remember you. Cross me, and I guarantee you won't make it off this ship alive. We'll see about that!"

He then pushed aside his guards, leaving away angrily.

He shouted along the way, "You better hear me out! I don't believe you can hide forever. Once I catch you, I'll make sure you pay!"

After he left, the onlookers closed their doors.

Dean said to Gabriel Edwards, "Sir, you're a friend of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall, right? Please understand that those who stay on the 15th floor are special guests invited to our auction. Many of them have unique statuses and might act high and mighty. I hope you won't take it to heart."

"Captain Dean, your Chinese is very good!" Gabriel complimented, trying to bridge the gap. He continued, "Don't worry, I won't stoop to his level. By the way, who is that blond guy?"

Dean replied, "I'm not sure about his identity, but some high-ranking officials from Dragon Kingdom did mention him to me. They asked me to give him some leeway. From that alone, I can tell he's not someone ordinary. So, you should be careful."

Gabriel Edwards frowned. The high-ranking officials of Dragon Kingdom personally vouched for him, no wonder the guy was so arrogant. And of course, someone who could treat a superstar like Angela Moreno as a toy was no ordinary person.

"Thanks for the heads-up, Captain Dean!" Gabriel sighed, feeling like troubles were never-ending.

"Have a pleasant journey!"

With his crew, Dean turned and left.

Gabriel Edwards returned to his room, and Angela tiptoed out from the bathroom.

She quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much. I don't know how to express my gratitude!"

"It's no big deal," Gabriel said with a resigned smile. "But hiding like this isn't a solution. Aren't you going to face that blond guy eventually?"

Angela blinked her big eyes, looking pitifully vulnerable.

She fidgeted with her fingers, saying, "I don't know what to do. If he catches me, I'm sure that beast will torture me in the most inhumane ways."

Seeing Angela's terrified expression, Gabriel couldn't help but ask again, "I really don't understand. You're such a big star in Dragon Kingdom. How can someone bully you like this? Why did you board this ship?"

With a hollow look in her eyes, Angela scoffed, "A star? You must have heard about the Ali Miller incident, right?"

"Ali Miller?" Gabriel exclaimed in surprise. "You mean the actress who committed suicide by jumping off a building two years ago? She left a suicide note saying she had been abused for a long

time. Wasn't it later revealed that the note was fake?"

"The suicide note was real, but to quell the incident, they claimed it was fake." Angela said. If a female star accidentally signs a servitude contract, her fate can only be described as tragic. This time, I was forced to accompany Alonzo Garza specifically. He's the one who drove Ali Miller to her death."
