Awakening the War God

Chapter 220 Process of Elimination

Chapter 220 Process of Elimination

With Zoe's reminder, Gabriel asked those girls, Christopher, and Blind John to stay in the clubhouse.

He also instructed Thomas to strengthen security measures and investigate all newly hired waitresses to prevent any infiltrators in the club.

By gathering everyone in the clubhouse, they would avoid giving the enemy an opportunity to strike.

This way, Gabriel wouldn't have to divide his attention to protect everyone.

After a while, Elizabeth sent a clear photo of Red Spider and Blunt Knife. The picture captured their features vividly. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

True to her name, Red Spider had a seductive and alluring figure.

Her smile concealed a mysterious and sinister aura.

On the other hand, Blunt Knife was a middle-aged man around forty with a cold expression, rarely showing a smile.

His small triangular eyes emitted an intense killing intent.

After receiving the photo, Gabriel called Mia into his office.

"You've done well in dealing with Tyler these past few days."

As soon as Mia took her seat, Gabriel smiled and complimented her.

His compliment was sincere.

Mia had played an indispensable role in taking down Tyler.

Mia sat up straight, her expression indifferent.

She nodded slightly without saying a word.

"Come on, drop the act. Only the two of us are in the office. Believe it or not, I can jump on you now and throw you onto the couch."

Gabriel chuckled.

She could pretend to be aloof in front of others, not him.

On the secluded island, he had already gotten to know Mia inside out.

Yet here they were, and she still put on airs.

"Why did you call me here?"

Mia's gaze turned cold, and she felt annoyed.

Gabriel was becoming a more detestable scoundrel in her eyes with each passing day.

"I'm feeling quite frustrated right now and need to blow off some steam."

He was still dissatisfied with her attitude.

He got up from his seat and motioned to unbuckle his belt.

How dare this woman glare at him? She deserved a proper thrashing.

"You're out of your mind!" Mia jumped in fright, stumbling backward.

She instinctively glanced at the office door, her face paling. "What if someone comes in? And what makes you think you can humiliate me like this?"

Her younger sister, Ava, was on the ninth floor, and her family didn't know about her situation yet. She had been worried they would find out.

"I am capable. Isn't that enough?"

Gabriel's eyes glinted wickedly as he approached Mia step by step.

With a swift movement, he frightened her into lying on the couch.

"Forget it, once or four times doesn't make any difference."

Mia closed her eyes, resigned to her fate. She mumbled softly, "Be quick. You have three minutes."

"Three minutes? Do you think I'm a quickie?"

Gabriel burst into laughter but tightened his belt. "Why are you so nervous? I'm just adjusting my pants. It keeps dropping."

"You..." Mia's eyes shot open, anger burning within them as she stared at Gabriel.

His actions were an even greater humiliation to her.

"Alright, I'm not in the mood. Take a good look at this photo. Do you recognize these two people? Speak honestly, or else I'll really unbuckle my belt!"

Gabriel sat down beside Mia and took out the printed photo from his pocket, placing it on the desk.

Seething with anger, she causally picked up the photo.

After taking a glance, she threw it back on the desk and said, "I don't recognize them."

Gabriel instantly grew displeased with her attitude and spoke in a cold tone, "You'd better take a good look, or else I'll make you experience something nice and leave with trembling legs."

He had called Mia in just to confirm whether the assassins were from the God Temple.

Her nonchalant attitude infuriated him to the point where he wanted to pull out his gun.

Mia's chest heaved with anger, but she didn't dare defy Gabriel again.

Reluctantly, she picked up the photo once again and scrutinized it. "I truly don't recognize these two people. Who are they?"

"The woman in the photo is the one who poisoned us today." He stared intently into Mia's eyes.

"Hmm?" Mia narrowed her eyes and examined the photo again. But in the end, she shook her head. "I'm certain I don't know her."

From Mia's eyes, there was no trace of lying. Gabriel said, "The reason I asked you is to confirm whether they are from the God Temple."

"You suspect that the assassin was sent by the God Temple?" Mia asked back.

"Yes, I have such suspicion!" Gabriel nodded. "Before today's poisoning incident, a group of people tried to assassinate me yesterday."

"This wave after wave makes me believe that there is an organization that wants to kill me. After careful consideration, besides the God Temple, I seem to have not offended any major organization."

"So please help me identify whether these two people are from the God Temple."

Mia said, "There are many members in the God Temple, and I can't guarantee that I know every one of them, but I can assure you that it's not someone from the God Temple who wants to kill you."

"Why are you so sure?" Gabriel frowned.

Mia explained, "Although I don't know all the members of the God Temple, I have never heard of a woman who poisons, and the God Temple's killings are never secretive. They always strike with a single blow."

"And the most crucial point is that you showed great strength on the Black Pearl. If they really wanted to kill you, they would have sent over stronger killers."

"In short, if the God Temple is determined to kill you, you probably won't be alive by now."

Gabriel laughed out loud after hearing Mia's words.

His laughter was wild and indifferent.

He coldly said, "Where does your confidence come from? Take a look at yourself and those members from the God Temple on the Black Pearl. With all due respect, you people are incapable of killing me."

"To be honest, I really want to meet your so-called master. When I step on his face, let's see if you still have the confidence to talk to me like this."

"Gabriel, you..." Mia stood up in anger. "You will pay a painful price for underestimating the God Temple. Don't think that you're invincible. Your strength is far from the peak of this world."

"And one more thing, don't insult our lord. When you truly meet him, he will be your greatest fear."

She snorted and stormed out of the office.

"Seriously, no tolerance at all!"

Gabriel wasn't an arrogant person. The reason he belittled others in such a self-righteous manner was actually a psychological tactic.

Provoking the opponents often helped him find their weaknesses.

From Mia's performance just now, it can be inferred that Red Spider and Blunt Knife were not from the God Temple.

This was strange. Who gave these two people orders to kill him?

"Gabriel, what dirty things did you do to Dr. Mia? She left in a huff and scolded me when I greeted her."

Blind John, wearing a robe and a pair of slippers, walked in.

"With your creepy eye, it's strange if you're not scolded!"

As his thoughts were interrupted, Gabriel joked. "So, do you like my club?"

"Not really!" Blind John shook his head repeatedly, sitting down next to him. "The waitresses here are too formal and lack excitement."

"Get lost!"

Gabriel almost kicked Blind John away.

Blind John chuckled, then suddenly noticed a photo on the table and curiously picked it up. "Oh? Isn't this Blunt Knife?"

"You know him?" Gabriel asked in astonishment.

Blind John nodded. "He is also on Sky List, but his rank is lower than mine. As far as I remember, he ranks around 60th."

"You don't know that his teacher is a legendary figure. He roamed the world with a blunt knife, daunting even the top three on Sky List."

"Unfortunately, Blunt Knife didn't fully inherit his teacher's skills. He is a sucker, and his combat power is far inferior to the former Blunt Knife."

"I once fought him and kicked his ass."

"By the way, what are you doing with his photo? And who is this beautiful woman?"
