Awakening the War God

Chapter 187 Coincidence

Chapter 187 Coincidence

Only at critical moments would people feel how quickly time passed. Time and tide waited for no one.

To save time, Gabriel didn't even blink.

However, no matter how desperately he searched, he still couldn't find the Ice Ganoderma.

He had searched almost the entire floor, but there was no trace of it.

He fell into despair.

Because of Gabriel's previous intimidation, the evacuation passage was clear, and all the passengers had boarded the lifeboats.

The previously bustling floor was now empty and quiet.

Only the sound of the wind and sea remained.

"Is there anyone else?"

Joey shouted, but there was no response.

His men and he were the last to leave the cruise ship.

The entire ship was empty.

It drifted on the boundless sea like a lonely leaf. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

In the depths of the first floor, Gabriel heard Joey's shout but didn't respond.

Estimating the time, the explosion would probably happen in a few minutes.

By then, the cruise ship would be destroyed.

"Dying in the sea is a good resting place!"

Gabriel sighed and relaxed.

No one knew if he was referring to the ship or himself.

Perhaps it could be both!

Just then, the clicks of high heels interrupted his thoughts.

Gabriel turned around and saw Cynthia rushing down from upstairs.

"Did you get the Blood Scripture?"

Gabriel's voice echoed through the empty floor.

Cynthia stopped in her tracks, not daring to move.

By the time she slowly turned around, Gabriel had reached her side.

"Wow, Mr. Gabriel Edwards, you're still here. The bomb is about to explode. Let's escape together!" she said with a smile.

"Escape? I won't leave until I find the Ice Ganoderma!" Gabriel's voice was cold.

Cynthia froze for a moment before saying, "Then I'll see you around. Take your time."

"You want to leave?" Gabriel's voice grew colder. "You haven't answered my question. Did you get the Blood Scripture?"

Cynthia halted her footsteps again and groaned in her heart.

She was afraid of angering Gabriel and being killed on the spot.

The terrifying scene of Gabriel killing more than 30 pirates just a moment ago still lingered in her mind.

She forced a smile and shook her head. "Blood Scripture? What Blood Scripture? I don't know what you're talking about."

"I'm in a bad mood right now, so you'd better not make me angry. Answer my question honestly! If you play dumb again, I'll break your neck!"

Gabriel walked up to Cynthia and blocked her path.

"I didn't find it."

At this point, Cynthia decided to stop pretending.

And she was speaking the truth.

It was really strange.

In fact, a subordinate worked with her to ship the Blood Scripture. The subordinate had disguised herself and mingled in the crowd.

Patsy had worked in the dark.

The double safe measures would ensure the safety of the Blood Scripture.

Before boarding the cruise ship, she had handed the Blood Scripture to Patsy and planned to meet with Dean on the cruise ship and deliver the item.

However, upon discovering Gabriel's presence, Cynthia changed her plans.

She was almost certain that Gabriel was after the Blood Scripture, and upon seeing her appearance, he would keep a close eye on her. Meeting with Dean would be too dangerous.

Even if the handover were successful, she was worried that Gabriel would use some means to take the Blood Scripture from Dean.

After thinking it over, she believed that the Blood Scripture would be safest in Patsy's hands.

So, she secretly informed Dean to take the Blood Scripture from Patsy when the cruise ship arrived at the destination. This way, the risk could be minimized.

However, two unexpected events occurred which disrupted her plan.

The first was the appearance of a fake Blood Scripture.

It was really confusing.

She had thought that Patsy had lost the real Blood Scripture and had confirmed with Patsy. It turned out the Blood Scripture was never lost.

This made her extremely anxious, and then the cruise ship was attacked by the pirates.

Everything was thrown into chaos, and she was dodging pirates while searching for Patsy.

But Patsy was not in her room. She was nowhere to be found.

She had searched for a long time until Rafael's men found and captured Emanue and her.

Fortunately, Gabriel killed the pirates just a moment ago, and she was set free.

After desperately searching the entire ship, Cynthia finally found what she was looking for in a public restroom on the third floor.

However, Patsy was dead, killed by stray bullets from the pirate attack.

But thankfully, her bag was still there.

Even though it had been searched, the copy of A Brief History of Time was still inside.

The Blood Scripture was hidden in the book.

Overwhelmed with excitement, she eagerly opened the book, but then her expression froze.

The Blood Scripture was gone.

This was utterly perplexing. She couldn't make sense of it.

How could it disappear when the book was still there?

With the impending explosion nearing, she had no choice but to abandon her search and make a last-minute escape.

However, to her surprise, Gabriel was still on the ship and intercepted her.

"So, you didn't find it," Gabriel stated rather than questioned. He asked, "Who are you really, Cynthia or Mia?"

This matter had troubled Gabriel for some time.

So far, he still wasn't so sure about it.

Her change in temperament suggested she was not Mia.

But their appearances and voices were identical. Their figures were similar. It was difficult for him to separate the two.

Most importantly, Cynthia was the one who delivered the Blood Scripture. The look originated from Silverwood, where Mia was located.

Gabriel never believed in so many coincidences existing in this world.

There were reasons behind many coincidences that outsiders couldn't fathom.

"Mia? Who's Mia?" Cynthia looked puzzled. "Ah, I remember. The first time you saw me, you mistook me for a girl named Mia. Sorry, I'm Cynthia, not Mia."

"If you won't admit it, then I'll kill you!"

Gabriel's eyes turned cold, and he gripped Cynthia's neck with his right hand, lifting her from the ground.

"Let go of me! Let go!"

Cynthia struggled desperately but to no avail.

Her face quickly flushed red.

Gabriel spoke with indifference, "If you were Mia, I would still spare your life due to our past relationship and for the sake of your sister. But you are Cynthia, a member of the God Temple who attempted to steal cultural relics from the Dragon Kingdom. I won't tolerate you. Die!"

He exerted more force, his eyes fixed firmly on Cynthia.

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud explosion resounded, and the entire cruise ship began to shake violently.

"The time has come!"

Gabriel steadied himself and let go of Cynthia.

"Whether we survive or not depends on fate!"

Immediately, he held Cynthia tightly under his left armpit and rushed forward.

As he neared the edge of the cruise ship, he made a final leap.

Simultaneously, another explosion rocked the ship.

This time, the blast was terrifying, and a massive fireball split the entire cruise ship into two.
