Chapter 156 A Small Contest

After much consideration, Gabriel Edwards agreed to the task of retrieving the Blood Scripture.

Such coincidences piled up, making it impossible for him to refuse.

Since it was on the way and concerned national interests, it didn't matter to help.

If he could really retrieve the Blood Scripture, besides helping Mr. Adams, it would also be a great favor to Barry Sullivan.

In the future in Silverwood, having Barry Sullivan, the top-ranked provincial councilor as a protective umbrella, he could more thoroughly turn this land into his own stronghold.

No sooner had he agreed than Barry personally used his connections to help him deal with the blacklisted issue.

In less than an hour, a brand-new ID card was made.

Holding the ID card, Gabriel was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and immense excitement.

After three years of being blacklisted, he finally had a legitimate status!

Now, no matter where he went, he could finally travel by plane or train!

After leaving the State Assembly, he went to Apex Bank.

With the ID card and Leon's personal operation, 1 billion funds in the card could finally be freely spent by him.

After finishing all these tasks, he hurried back to the hospital.

As soon as he returned, he received the auction invitation sent by Elizabeth.

The golden invitation shimmered brightly.

With the invitation, he could attend the Golden Ocean Auction on the seventh floor of the Black Pearl.

With everything ready, he told Zoe Evans everything about the Blood Glossy Ganoderma and the Blood Scripture.

For Zoe, he had nothing to hide.

After listening to Gabriel's narration, even Zoe felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

The combination of the two events was indeed a bit too coincidental!

After thinking for a while, she said to Gabriel, "Gabriel, we must be careful with the Blood Scripture! With Tyler Brooks's power, sending the Blood Scripture out of the country by means is not difficult!"

"But after they got the Blood Scripture, they chose to go through a mysterious person and use the Black Pearl cruise route, which seems overly complicated!"

"What seems redundant to us must have a reason in the eyes of our opponents!"

"I'm wondering if the owner of the Black Pearl is the foreign force we've been looking for, so that's why the Blood Scripture took the Black Pearl cruise route!"

"Because once on the cruise, the Blood Scripture would be handed over to the target!"

"Given the current situation, this is a very likely speculation!"

"That makes sense!" Gabriel Edwards murmured.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

He had also been wondering why the Blood Scripture had to be handed over to that mysterious person and sent out of the country via the Black Pearl cruise line.

Such a method was indeed too complicated!

Zoe's speculation made him realize!

If it was true, as Zoe said, things would become dangerous.

Firstly, as Elizabeth said, the owner of the Black Pearl cruise was extremely powerful and absolutely not to be trifled with.

Secondly, retrieving the Blood Scripture on the Black Pearl would be like confronting the opponent on their home turf.

Being alone and outnumbered, if a conflict arose, his actions would be limited on the vast sea, truly fraught with danger.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown!

"Gabriel, if the situation becomes too dangerous, you must not take risks! Promise Zoe, whether it's the Ice Ganoderma or the Blood Scripture, you can give up if you encounter danger. I will be waiting for you to come back!" Zoe Evans's beautiful eyes stared at Gabriel Edwards.

She spoke to Gabriel with an unprecedented firm tone.

Gabriel smiled slightly and nodded, "Don't worry, Zoe, I promise you!"

While he said this out loud, he secretly made a vow in his heart.

The Blood Scripture didn't matter, but he would do everything in his power to bring back the Ice Ganoderma!

Because the Ice Ganoderma was Zoe's life...

A day passed!

The next morning, Gabriel Edwards visited a famous traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

He carefully selected a set of long needles used for acupuncture, made of finely crafted stainless steel.

He wrapped a circle of linen around his arm, then inserted all the long needles into the linen. After pulling down his sleeve, nothing could be seen!

After returning to the hospital, Gabriel gave Zoe another acupuncture treatment.

After the treatment, Zoe's condition improved even more.

With Gabriel's medical skills, he ensured that Zoe would be safe for a month.

After doing all this, he gave Blind John many instructions.

In the days when he was not around, Blind John must stay close and protect Zoe at all times.

Although Blind John was usually carefree and out of tune, he was reliable in critical situations.

Blind John immediately agreed and vowed with his own life to ensure Zoe's safety.

Only then did Gabriel Edwards feel at ease. In the afternoon, he went to the Dark Night Club.

The club was basically decorated and fully equipped to open.

Now, all that was missing was a word from Gabriel Edwards.

But he had already decided to open it only after returning from the Black Pearl.

Entering the club and going straight to the eighth floor's combat room, Thomas Taylor and the Twelve Birds were training hard under Maria Adams's supervision.

Sweat dripped, and the physiques of the thirteen people had greatly changed.

With their muscular physique and glowing presence, they already had the posture of a strongman.

"Maria, you've worked hard these days!"

Gabriel Edwards approached Maria Adams, and as soon as he spoke, he was noticed by Thomas Taylor and the others.

They stopped their training, wanting to greet Gabriel, but found Maria glaring at them.

Scared, Thomas and the others quickly resumed their training!

"It's nothing, training them is quite fun, and from time to time, I can spar with them!"

Chewing gum, Maria Adams glanced over, speaking arrogantly!

The so-called sparring, every time she beat these dozen or so men until they cried out for mercy!

Gabriel nodded silently, feeling deeply gratified.

Thanks to Maria's help, Thomas Taylor and the Twelve Birds grew rapidly and would surely become a powerful force under him in the future.

"It's almost the end of the month, shall we spar?"

Just as Gabriel was contentedly watching Thomas and the others, Maria Adams felt an itch in her heart and proposed to spar with Gabriel Edwards.

Fighting with Thomas Taylor and the others was too boring and sparring with Gabriel was what truly excited her!

Gabriel Edwards gave a wry smile, "It's only the 19th, still a while until the end of the month."

The reason this girl gave was really high-sounding.

But after thinking about it, he stretched his shoulders and agreed, "Alright, we'll stop when one of us gets a point!"

Anyway, he had nothing to do and there's no harm in sparring with Maria!

In the middle of the combat room, there was a small fighting platform!

Maria Adams's mouth curled slightly, turning her head to spit her gum into the trash can.

Then, she took an elastic band from her left wrist and tied her hair into a ponytail.

Taking a few steps forward, she flipped and jumped onto the fighting platform!

Thomas Taylor and the others, who were training, instantly stopped their movements.

One by one, they cheered excitedly and quickly gathered around!

"Master is going to fight with Mr. Gabriel, which is exciting, a real treat for the eyes!" Eagle exclaimed excitedly, with his eyes wide and round.

Thomas Taylor also chuckled, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, besides watching the fun, we should also learn something!"

The others nodded in agreement!

"This is interesting!"

Gabriel's mood was also ignited, and he stepped onto the fighting platform.

He said with a smile, "Maria, let's make it clear, we'll stop when one of us gets a point, and if you lose, you can't get angry!"

"A big man, don't say so much nonsense!"

Maria Adams clenched her fists and lunged forward!

Gabriel's eyes narrowed, and he became serious...
