Awakening the War God

Chapter 213 A Remarkable Woman

Vicky' arrival presented an opportunity for Gabriel.

He had managed to secure the Silverwood Clan's foothold in Silverwood City, thanks to his tactical advantage and Leon's support.

However, other factions within the Ghostly Purgatory Hall were still beyond his reach. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

And he had no capital trying to compete with the likes of the King of the Underworld for the title of Ghost Emperor.

The one-year deadline left him feeling somewhat restricted.

Vicky seeking refuge with him provided the perfect reason to get involved in the Gumoldur Clan of Ghostly Purgatory Hall. While it might seem like a flimsy excuse, it was a foot in the door.

And once you're in, you have the potential to be the sole victor!

If he could take control of Gumoldur Clan, he'd gain a force to reckon with.

After all, the scale of the Gumoldur Clan was in a league of its own compared to Silverwood City.

It was an international metropolis, a higher stage!

After Thomas arranged Vicky' accommodation, Gabriel found an empty room and called a meeting with Leon and Thomas.

In the room, they exchanged thoughts and opinions.

With narrowed eyes, Gabriel asked Leon, "Leon, do you know this Vicky?"

Leon shook his head but said, "I might not know her personally, but I've heard of her. She's rumored to be a terrifying woman who has effortlessly navigated among the major forces in Gumoldur City for years, at one point even making the clan one of the top three underground powers in the city."

"Besides, the rumors say she's cunning, ruthless, and has considerable combat skills. Many have met their end at her hands."

"Oh, and there's a rumor that she has close ties with several bigwigs in the city's political assembly. It's believed she climbed the ladder thanks to her... well-endowed posterior, and she even earned the nickname 'Goddess-like Buttocks' because of it."

"Goddess-like Buttocks?" Gabriel chuckled. "Sounds like a name James Harden would love. Hard to get to the bottom of it, eh!"

After the banter, he frowned, puzzled by something.

He found it strange how someone who had such a fearsome reputation would end up fleeing due to a rebellion by her own subordinates.

Yes, that was what bothered him.

If the rumors were true, Vicky was no pushover. If she was as formidable as people said, how could she lose so completely because of a rebellion by her subordinates?

Without a special reason, this didn't make sense.

Leon couldn't provide a clear answer. He said, "I don't know, but it may be related to the King of the Underworld. Although she's powerful, she's in a different league compared to the King of the Underworld."

After listening to Leon, Gabriel nodded contemplatively.

What Leon said did make sense. The big fish eat the small fish, and smaller fish eat shrimp. Officials have the power to squash people.

Although Vicky was a big shot in Gumoldur City, she couldn't be compared to the top-level ruler like the King of the Underworld.

If the King of the Underworld pulled out all the stops, her current situation made sense.

After thinking for a moment, he instructed Leon, "Contact Goddess of Wind and have her investigate the rebellion in Gumoldur City's Ghostly Purgatory Hall. I need to know all the details of what happened."

He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of this woman.

"Understood!"

Leon acknowledged the command.

Gabriel turned to Thomas and said, "Thomas, Vicky is staying at the club. I need you to protect her and keep a close watch on her."

"And there's something specific you need to be aware of since you're all men. I won't beat around the bush: this woman may be dangerous. Make sure your people keep themselves in check. We can't afford any slip-ups because of her allure."

Men understand men best.

Women like Vicky could easily captivate the hearts of men, so they had to be on their guard to prevent any problems.

"Don't worry, boss. I'll ensure that my men behave themselves. Anyone who messes up will be turned into a eunuch!" Thomas vowed earnestly.

Gabriel nodded with satisfaction and added, "Now, let's set this issue aside. As for the club's opening, I need you to handle it well."

"In a few days, Mr. Barry and Mr. Santos will attend the club's grand opening as private guests. The famous star, Angela, will be performing as well. It's sure to create a sensation, and you must manage the event flawlessly. No cutting corners or mishaps!"

"Understood?"

Things had taken an interesting turn in this period.

Mr. Barry and Mr. Santos both expressed that they would attend the club's opening as private guests.

These two influential individuals would undoubtedly leave a significant mark on all of Silverwood.

With them gracing the occasion, the club's reputation was set to soar.

Furthermore, Angela, a superstar with a massive fan base, would only amplify the club's fame with her performance.

In essence, the presence of these three luminaries at the club's opening would certainly create a buzz.

Gabriel realized the need to prepare Thomas for the event and avoid any potential hiccups.

"Boss, rest assured. I'll ensure everything goes off without a hitch."

Thomas readily assured, exuding excitement and enthusiasm.

With both Silverwood's prominent council members and a beloved female star on board, the club's lineup was truly remarkable.

Yet, seeing Thomas beaming, Gabriel shifted to a serious tone and promptly reminded him, "Don't get too carried away. This is also a test for you. If things go south, I'm not joking; you'll face the consequences."

Taken aback, Thomas quickly adopted a solemn demeanor and replied, "I understand. If I don't deliver, I'll accept the punishment willingly."

Satisfied with Thomas's commitment, Gabriel extinguished his cigarette on the table and rose from his seat. He waved his hand to signify the end of the meeting.

Before he reached the door, he remembered something important.

He playfully slapped his forehead and turned back to address Thomas, "Oh, and get a red SUV for Stella, one slightly more upscale than her Mercedes."

SUVs provided more room and were great for outdoor activities...

As night fell, the Dark Night Club was under the vigilant watch of security guards on night duty, accompanied Pigeon and Falcon patrolling the premises.

However, at this moment, the patrolling Falcon had made its way into the club's combat room.

Vicky embraced him from behind, and the soft touch melted away Falcon's rationality.

With a quick turn, Falcon sought refuge in Vicky' embrace.

At this point, he had completely lost his sense of reason and was drowning in a surreal experience.

Vicky smiled and whispered in Falcon's ear, "From now on, you are no longer the fierce falcon, but my loyal dog."

"Yes, I'm your dog!" Falcon pounced onto Vicky, his focus solely on her.

"Good boy, my loyal dog. Tell your master, what's Gabriel's greatest weakness?"

Falcon responded while nuzzling into her arms, "Gabriel's most significant weakness is women! To be specific, it's his younger sister, Zoe, the lady from the club, Stella, and Ava from the Foster family.

If anything were to happen to these women, Gabriel would undoubtedly go berserk."

"Stella?" Vicky mused, recollecting the woman in question.

There was a strikingly beautiful lady in the office; she must be Stella.

Gabriel had an eye for quality; she was top-tier.

If she were to be captured, they might be able to manipulate this powerful man...
