Chapter 129 A Crushing Victory
The sirens kept blaring in the air.
The site fell into silence.
When the thin figure jumped into the tomb pit and walked into the tomb passage, everyone showed awe and admiration in their eyes.
No doubt, this was a lone hero.
But their doubts and worries were more than their admiration.
The coalition of hundreds of police officers, soldiers, and Dragon Guards couldn't do anything about the nine-member mercenary corps. Could this man handle them alone?
Waiting was the most agonizing.
As time ticked by, everyone was getting worried.
Especially Barry. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
What kind of fruit would this crazy move yield?
"Someone's coming out!" one suddenly shouted after about fifteen minutes.
Almost everyone widened their eyes, staring at the mouth of the tomb passage.
Barry and his companions trotted to the edge of the tomb pit.
Amidst the attention of the crowd, a person came out indeed.
It was Gabriel!
He was covered in blood. Carrying the tip of a steel bar in his right hand and a dying person in black in his left hand, he emerged from the mouth of the tomb passage.
He tossed the one in black to the ground and looked up.
His eyes were melancholy and freezing. He watched Barry and said, "Senator Sullivan, there're nine criminals in total. I shot eight and spared one's life for a future interrogation. Among the archaeological surveyors, apart from the one killed and the one injured, no others are hurt!"
Gabriel's voice was so loud that it drowned out the sirens.
His words were overbearing and his posture unrestrained.
He was like a god from heaven, heroically standing there.
Everyone cheered excitedly.
His fighting power was terrifyingly strong!
He killed a mercenary corps alone, one ranked among the top ten on the Roster of Gods.
That was incredible!
Barry relaxed his face and said with joy, "Well done, young man! Leave the rest to us!"
Tyler's face was dark, but Santos was so excited.
Gabriel made it, and the result was more perfect than his expectation.
He had thought of it at least as a fierce battle, but the result showed that it was Gabriel's crushing victory.
Such fighting power was truly terrifying.
With a few leaps, Gabriel came up from the tomb pit.
He walked to Barry and his companions and said coldly, "Senator Sullivan, it means I'm a free man from now on!"
Barry nodded and said, "That's right. After the police officers enter the tomb passage and save the archaeological surveyors, you won't be a suspect anymore but a free citizen."
Santos came over, tapped Gabriel's shoulder, and said, "Well done!"
But Gabriel looked grave. He said to Santos, "Mr. Adams, I want you to do me a favor. When I was in the tomb, I saw a stone statue in the depths of it. It's the same as the statue of the Thunder God Protector in the secret path of the Davis' house!
"That is strange. You must investigate it seriously!
"But you should do it with great care. I'm afraid the appearance of the mercenary corps has something to do with the stone statue!
"Maybe some others will also covet it!"
He was also surprised when he saw the stone statue in the tomb chamber.
God, there was more than one statue of the Thunder God Protector!
There must be a big secret in it.
The mercenary corps was willing to take the risk, which meant it was an unusual secret.
Santos became serious, nodded, and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll keep an eye on it!"
Barry immediately showed his attitude, "Mr. Edwards, please rest assured. This is something special. We'll fully investigate it. If this has something to do with the Davis family, we'll get to the bottom of it!
"I'll personally report this to Sapphire Peaks and pay attention to it!
"Anyone or any force will not stop us!"
Hearing Barry's promise, Gabriel became more relieved.
He yawned, a little sleepy.
Meanwhile, the police officers saved the archaeological surveyors, bringing them out in proper order.
And they also carried the eight corpses of the Blood Eagle Mercenary out.
Each one died the same way as the others: each head had a dent made by a steel bar.
They all looked horrifying.
And the rescued archaeological surveyors were all dazed, their eyes full of terror.
It was not the Blood Eagle Mercenary but Gabriel who had a lingering fear.
The terrifying way to kill chilled the soul.
A senior officer of the police station came over and reported to Barry, "Senator Sullivan, all the archaeological surveyors have been brought out, with one dead and one injured. The injured one has been taken to the ambulance!
"But a few of them are suffering psychological trauma after excessive shock!"
Gabriel yawned again when he heard that.
He knew he had frightened them. That was why they had the so-called psychological trauma.
It was unsuitable to explain it in detail. He said to Barry, "Senator Sullivan, I'm a little tired. I've got to go home and rest!"
Barry nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you're tired. Go and rest!"
Gabriel stepped slowly out of the crowd.
As soon as he had passed the police cordon, he staggered and fell asleep.
"Oh, God!"
Blind John instantly supported him.
He said to Zoe with a bitter face, "This guy fell asleep again. I'll have to carry him again!"
"It's normal to be exhausted after a fight. Let's go. Take a taxi home!"
Zoe turned around with her physics book and left with Blind John carrying Gabriel on his back...
Gabriel fell asleep in the morning. He didn't wake up until six in the evening.
When he opened his eyes, he found everything was familiar.
He was on his bed in his room.
He was back in Stellar Estate!
"Old John, Blind John, Liar John, Drunkard John!" Gabriel shouted, steadying his head.
He called John by all his nicknames.
"Well, stop it!"
Blind John rushed into his room and watched him resentfully with his single eye.
He said unhappily, "It was I who brought you home. Can you be a little polite to me? By the way, could you reimburse the taxi fare?"
"Never think about it!" Gabriel jumped off the bed, patted his head, and said, "Are things over with the mercenary corps in the ancient tomb?"
Blind John rolled his eyes but said, "Yes, that's over. When you were drunk, you ventured into the tomb passage and finished the so-called Blood Eagle Mercenary. You killed each one with one punch!"
"Killing each one with one punch again!" Gabriel was speechless.
He patted his head again and walked into the living room, seeing Zoe reading a physics book on the sofa.
He sat next to her and smiled, "Was it you who brought me home, Zoe?"
The completely different attitude made Blind John who had followed him here so dissatisfied.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He glared at Gabriel with his single eye. "Why are you so heartless? I was the one who carried you! You're so cumbersome. How could Zoe have been able to pick you up from the ground and bring you back?"
"Go away!" Gabriel looked back in dislike and waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
But when he turned his head back to Zoe, he put on a smile again!
Blind John returned to his room while cursing. Zoe finally closed her book and said to Gabriel, "Gabriel, those people came so unexpectedly!"
"Right. That was a little unusual!" Gabriel nodded repeatedly.
Zoe continued, "But the things that look unusual are always the most reasonable for those involved!
"For example, if you had not brought the Davis family to its downfall and found its secret path, the family would continue to cooperate with the archaeological surveyors they had bribed, moving the things in the tomb to their house and transporting them abroad!"
Gabriel sat straight and seriously said, "You mean that because of the Davis family's downfall, those foreigners can't take the cultural relics out of the country through the Davis family? Therefore, something excavated from the mausoleum becomes very important to them. Without the Davis family's help, they had to hire the Blood Eagle Mercenary to take this risk!"
Zoe nodded, reopened her physics book, and said casually, "The news at noon reported that a stone statue was found in the mausoleum. It's called the Thunder God Protector!"
"The Thunder God Protector?" Gabriel was taken aback.
