Chapter 62 Don't Call Yourself a Man
"Alright, I agree with these three things!"
Gabriel's expression suddenly changed.
He became solemn and dignified, emitting an unparalleled sense of melancholy.
These three tasks were not difficult for him, so there was no reason to refuse.
Stella blinked her beautiful eyes in astonishment.
For a moment, the man in front of her felt so unfamiliar.
Like a black hole, he was unfathomable and terrifying.
"Alright, I should go. Have a good sleep!" Gabriel started walking toward the exit. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back. "When I complete these three things, I hope you won't forget what you promised me."
It was the reward of victory.
And it was time for him to seize it.
"Rest assured!" Stella, with rare sharpness in her gaze, said. "Although I am just a woman, I never like owing others favors or breaking my promise. If you can accomplish these three tasks and take down the Davis family, I will be all yours."
Gabriel smirked devilishly.
Then he opened the door and left.
This game had finally reached its climax.
The moment the door closed, Stella went weak.
She trembled and sat down on the sofa.
She looked up at the ceiling with vacant eyes.
She had lost count of how many times she had narrowly escaped from nightmares.
She could only hope that this would be the last time.
Entering and leaving the Davis family was simple for Gabriel.
After careful consideration, he made up his mind.
He would first go to Thomas and see if this polite guy could withstand the impact of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall.
The Gift Club was a well-known clubhouse in the southern part of the city.
The nine-story building at a crossroads had an excellent location.
Its former owner offended someone and was almost hacked to death.
He had to give up the clubhouse and sell it at a low price.
He needed cash to leave his family.
Thomas knew the owner and got a great deal.
He only spent tens of millions to buy the entire building. It was a bargain.
Most importantly, the decorations in the club were relatively new.
And following Gabriel's instructions, Thomas only made some small renovations.
The first floor housed a cozy bar, with live performances and a lively atmosphere for young people.
The second floor housed a billiards room, arcade games, NBA soccer, and live streams of League of Legends matches.
The third and fourth floors housed bathing facilities, a cinema, and everything else needed for relaxation.
High-end karaoke bars and beautiful waitresses were provided on the fifth and sixth floors.
The seventh floor housed a gym filled with various types of muscular men and many ladies wearing tight fitness pants.
A combat room for training was on the eighth floor.
And finally, the office area was on the top floor.
Although the time was short, many things were already in place.
The bar on the ground floor was ready to open for business.
"Mr. Taylor, look. A beautiful girl is coming to audition as a singer."
On the eighth floor, Thomas, drenched in sweat, was punching a bag.
A man in a suit with a pockmarked face ran up to Thomas, panting heavily.
Interrupted, Thomas became a little annoyed. "Sparrow, there are a lot of things going on in this big clubhouse. You don't have to report everything to me. Otherwise, what do I hire you guys for? If the singer is good, we'll keep her. If she's not, we'll let her go. Why bother me with such a trivial matter?"
Thomas was not happy.
According to Gabriel's instructions, he was slowly getting the club up and running.
But at this critical moment, Gabriel was nowhere to be found.
Rumor had it that he was dead.
His life and death were unknown.
It was said that the Dragon-slaying Association and the Ghostly Purgatory Hall were both planning to attack him.
Now Thomas had recruited a dozen men, and they were training every day.
Even so, they were still far behind the two gangs.
He had been troubled by this matter in the past few days.
But since he had become Gabriel's underling, he had to complete this first task no matter what.
The club had to open. Even if someone came to fight, he would fight until Gabriel reappeared.
He wanted the people of Silverwood to know who he was.
He would soar into the sky like an eagle.
But Sparrow said, "Mr. Taylor, if it were an ordinary person, would I bother you? But this woman is Mr. Edwards's ex-girlfriend, Ava."
"Ava?"
Thomas's eyes widened instantly.
"What is this woman up to?"
He rubbed his bald head with his left hand and thought for a moment.
Then he threw away his boxing gloves and shouted, "Let's go!"
Soon, Thomas and Sparrow arrived at the bar on the ground floor.
On the small stage, lights were shining brightly.
There stood Ava in a white dress. She looked pure and lovely.
She was singing with a small guitar in her arms.
Her voice was sweet and melodious.
However, her singing was filled with personal emotions.
Occasionally, a few phrases were yelled out, as if she were venting her frustrations. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Don't call yourself a man. Come out and face me!"
Ava had modified the lyrics.
Clearly, she was singing it for Gabriel to hear.
She was howling to get Gabriel's attention.
The sight of her gave Thomas a headache.
His boss's ex-girlfriend should not be offended.
He scratched his head and said to Sparrow, "Go get a bottle of wine. This is frustrating!"
On the stage, Ava finally finished her performance.
Clutching her small guitar, she leaped off the tall stool.
Glancing around, she happened to spot Thomas in the audience. She then walked down from the stage toward him.
"Do... you still remember me?"
Ava appeared cautious, holding onto her guitar.
She smiled, revealing her dimples.
"Miss Foster, how could I forget? I kidnapped you!"
Thomas laughed, patting his bald head and continuing politely, "My business hasn't opened yet. Once it does, you're welcome to come and have fun for free. I'll make you an honorary member."
"Pfft, do you think I don't have money?" Ava scoffed, not appreciating his kindness, and rolled her eyes. "I'm here to audition. Where's Gabriel? Let him come out and listen to my song."
During the period she was dumped by Gabriel, she experienced countless sleepless nights.
The pain of heartbreak was unbearable.
Just the thought of Gabriel simping for that vixen, Stella, made her furious.
Originally, it would have been fine.
But these days, the cooperation between the Foster family and Apex Bank's hotel had suddenly come to a halt.
Her mother had invested everything they had in the project.
If they couldn't raise 500 million dollars, the Foster family would go broke.
Every day, her mother was like an ant on a hot pan, urging her to find Gabriel.
Her mother claimed that only Gabriel could solve the crisis.
Ava thought about it and agreed.
After all, it was Gabriel who promised it as a way to repay her.
But no matter how many calls she made or how many times she visited Stellar Estate, she couldn't find Gabriel.
There were even rumors circulating that Gabriel had died.
Her heart grew increasingly anxious. Finally, she heard that Gabriel's underling, Thomas, had opened this new club.
So, she came here, hoping to find Gabriel.
