Chapter 66 The Ghost Princess
"You've performed well. Work harder, and I'll make you the Grand Duke of the Gale family!"
Gabriel Edwards tilted his head and exhaled with his hands in his pockets.
The long red hair covering half of his face fluttered, revealing his melancholic and deep eyes.
He was a bit too engrossed, immersing himself in the role of the Gale family, unable to snap out of it.
This damned aristocratic demeanor!
Thomas Taylor was overjoyed because of Gabriel Edwards's praise.
This encouragement made him forget the pain of his injuries.
The battered Twelve Birds began to doubt their own eyes.
Just like that, this alternative guy dressed strangely turned out to be the Boss of their Boss!
No matter how they thought of it, it seemed utterly unbelievable!
"Gabriel Edwards, I..."
Ava Foster came running happily.
She was just about to speak to Gabriel Edwards when he interrupted her, "Don't call me Gabriel Edwards. Call me Mr. Gale, a lonely prince in the dark night!"
"Pfft~"
Ava Foster couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
Laughing so hard she could barely breathe, she managed to say, "Mr. ... Mr. Gale, I... I want to be a resident singer here... Can I?"
It was hilarious. Gabriel Edwards's rustic and unsophisticated demeanor was just too funny.
"Please stop being infatuated with me. I'm just a legend. The nights here are too cold, without songs for you to sing."
Gabriel Edwards waved his hand, once again rejecting Ava Foster.
Huh? How strange, why did he suddenly start singing?
This outfit is toxic, way too toxic.
He's been completely infected.
Ava Foster laughed so hard that she squatted on the ground, almost dying of laughter.
"Can you... can you stop being like this? I can't take it anymore!"
She didn't dare to look at Gabriel Edwards at all, for fear of bursting into laughter.
That explosive red hair, it's too ridiculous.
"How about this then?" Gabriel Edwards changed his melancholic demeanor, bent down, and shouted, "We don't need you to sing here, you little woman, get the hell out of here and go home!"
Indeed, it worked.
Ava Foster's laughter stopped abruptly, and she stood up suddenly with a pout.
She glared at Gabriel Edwards with her beautiful eyes in a wronged expression, "Why are you being so fierce? I'll tell my sister that you bullied me!"
Then, she picked up her little guitar and turned to leave.
"Women are truly rational creatures!"
Gabriel Edwards, speechless, slapped his forehead and stepped forward to grab Ava Foster.
His attitude changed, and he said with a smile, "Ava, please don't tell others that you have met me. You just pretend you never see me after going home,, okay?"
If Ava Foster went home and blabbed, probably the whole of Silverwood would know he was still alive.
But now it was not the time to be exposed.
So, he had to find a way to shut Ava Foster up.
"No, I'm going to tell everyone that you, this scumbag, bullied me!"
Ava Foster pretended to continue leaving, but she was secretly delighted in her heart.
It seemed that she had caught Gabriel Edwards's weak spot.
"Fine!" Gabriel Edwards sighed and compromised, holding onto Ava Foster, "As long as you don't blab when you go home, I'll responsibly tell you that after an interview, our club thinks you have a good image and a beautiful voice, suitable for singing here! A monthly salary of 34 dollars... no, 342 dollars. Start working after the opening!"
He had no choice but to compromise on this matter to keep Ava Foster quiet.
Thomas Taylor, on the side, touched his head and chuckled secretly.
These days, you can't even hire a child laborer for 342 dollars. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Only a fool would agree.
"Okay, I agree!"
Thomas Taylor's laughter abruptly stopped. There really was a fool!
Overjoyed, Ava Foster said to Gabriel Edwards, "But I'll start working from tomorrow!"
"Fine, as you wish!" Gabriel Edwards felt a headache coming on, but as long as she kept quiet, it didn't matter.
He reminded her again, "Remember, don't tell anyone you saw me. If I get exposed, just wait to see your mother make Foster family go bankrupt !"
Besides the reminder, he also had to throw in a threat.
Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.
"Gabriel Edwards, you're going to help my mom, right?"
Ava Foster wasn't too dumb; she instantly understood Gabriel Edwards's meaning.
Immediately overjoyed, she grabbed Gabriel Edwards's arm and shook it excitedly.
These days, the Foster family was almost driven mad due to investment.
She firmly believed that if Gabriel Edwards helped them, the Foster family would definitely overcome their difficulties.
"Call me Mr. Gale!" Gabriel Edwards shook off Ava Foster's hand.
Ava Foster giggled and raised her hand to swear, "Mr. Gale, I swear, I've never seen Gabriel Edwards, I've only seen Mr. Gale! By the way, Mr. Gale, your previous phone number isn't working. Did you change to a new one? Tell me the new number, I'll save it!"
"If you want to contact me, leave me a message on QQ!"
Gabriel Edwards flicked his long hair and left leaving a melancholic figure...
That night, Gabriel Edwards stayed on the ninth floor of the club.
Thomas Taylor had already prepared a huge office for him.
Inside the office, there was also a small room for resting.
But Thomas Taylor was quite busy that night.
He dealt with the bodies and repaired the damaged bar.
Only then did he go to the hospital to get his wounds dressed.
That night, the entire Underground World of Silverwood was in an uproar!
No one expected that the Ghostly Purgatory Hall clan, one of the three major gangs in Silverwood, would be defeated by an unknown thug.
Even the boss of the clan was hacked to death.
It was also this night that Thomas Taylor's reputation was firmly established in the Underground World of Silverwood.
The next morning, Gabriel Edwards woke up in the office.
After freshening up, he carefully arranged his unusually strange long hair.
He nailed the demeanor perfectly.
Suddenly, he felt himself was the most noble prince in the world.
The noble prince went downstairs to drink a bowl of soy milk.
His eye-catching appearance allowed him to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.
Returning to the club, the bar on the first floor was still under renovation.
The other floors were also being renovated urgently.
Because Thomas Taylor planned to open by the end of May, everything had to be completed before then.
Gabriel Edwards went straight to the eighth floor. As he opened the door, the large combat room was already filled with the sounds of training.
He looked over and saw Thomas Taylor leading the Twelve Birds, training shirtless despite their injuries.
Seeing such dedication, Gabriel Edwards was deeply moved.
"Mr. Gale!"
Gabriel Edwards, feeling relieved, was about to light a cigarette.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling him from behind.
Before he could turn around, a mysterious tune started playing.
"I ss you i ss you,I ss you everyday, just want to see your face, miss you, miss you, miss your laughter, my whole heart belongs to you!"
Gabriel Edwards shuddered, the music striking his soul instantly.
He slowly turned around, his eyes widening in shock.
He was completely stunned.
He saw Ava Foster standing in front of him, completely changed.
Her hair was dyed blue, fluffy like a lion's mane.
A red hairpin held up her bangs in front of her eyes.
She wore a studded leather jacket and ripped jeans full of chains.
She had earrings with hands in her pockets.
A flip phone playing music was clipped to her waist, and she wore canvas shoes, standing with one foot slightly in front of the other.
Her big eyes, filled with sadness, blinked and said affectionately, "If anyone breaks my wings, you'll destroy their entire heaven, Mr. Gale. Don't you remember? I'm your Ghost Princess!"
Gabriel Edwards felt goosebumps all over his body.
They seemed to cascade down him.
Then, on the verge of collapse, he started to run.
As he ran, he shouted, "Tom, quickly get this monster out of here!"
