Chapter 86 The Master on the Eighth Floor
The Davis family's self-righteous assassination ended up with Gabriel and the Adams family forming a close alliance.
Gabriel had thought about starting with Maria and then allying with Santos.
Now there was no need for that.
Instead, he got a master for the eighth-floor combat room.
The next morning, Gabriel came to Leon, hoping to introduce him to Santos for future cooperation.
But as soon as he met Leon, the two things Leon reported made him very unhappy.
"Mr. Gabriel, I had sent Joseph Moore's address to your phone yesterday, but this morning I received news that Joseph had flown to Sapphire Peaks last night. I don't know when he'll be back!"
Gabriel knitted his brows.
Joseph was a dangerous variable.
If he couldn't beat this man to death, he would always feel uneasy.
Since Joseph had gone to Sapphire Peaks, there was no other way.
He would have to wait for him to return to Silverwood before trying to kill him.
"And I've sent someone to look for Erica, but we found nothing after a whole day!"
While reporting to Gabriel, Leon seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.
Not finding anything made him appear incompetent.
Gabriel was a little vexed.
Most of what he had agreed upon with Stella had been handled or prepared.
The Foster family's economic crisis would be resolved with his 500 million dollars.
Leon had been targeted by the Assembly. But after his meeting with Santos today, the problem would no longer exist.
The danger facing Thomas had been addressed by him.
As for Stella's revolving restaurant, with him around, Samuel Davis wouldn't be able to take it away no matter how capable he was.
And arranging for Stella to meet her father in prison was an easy task.
He could do it either through Leon or Santos.
What was now only uncertain was Erica, Stella's younger sister.
Why did this woman disappear?
Where could she have gone?
Finding her was like finding a needle in a haystack. If he couldn't find her, he would be unable to get the evidence in Stella's hands or the scandal information about the Davis family for now.
The more he thought about it, the more his head throbbed. He rubbed his temples.
He had to find Erica before the supervision team arrived.
Would he have to resort to unconventional means?
Afterward, Gabriel and Leon came to the Adams' house and had a detailed discussion with Santos.
The combined force was growing stronger.
In the afternoon, with Santos's strong intervention, the Municipal Assembly lifted its excessive scrutiny of Leon and Apex Bank.
Not only that, Santos also made a big move.
He launched an attack on some of the Assembly's forces that were attached to the Davis family.
The Silverwood Assembly immediately fell into turbulent political undercurrents.
Many who had close ties with the Davis family were living in fear.
The clash between the two major forces cast a sense of oppression over the entire officialdom of Silverwood.
As for Gabriel, after leaving the Adams family, he set two things to be done next.
Leon would take care of them.
The first thing was the Foster family's economic crisis in two days.
The second was to make Thomas the head of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall.
The first thing posed no difficulty.
The key to the second thing lay with Thomas.
Thomas himself knew that this would be the only opportunity in his life to stand out.
Although it was dangerous, he didn't want to miss it.
He was willing to sacrifice everything, even his life, for this opportunity!
So, even though he was injured and had little time left, he stayed in the combat room to train himself insanely, hoping to improve his combat power somewhat.
He was now jumping rope quickly, dripping with sweat, but his eyes were determined.
His mind was filled with the crazy world-isolating realm that Gabriel had achieved through jumping rope that day.
He was envious of him!
As he thought about it, he swung the rope faster.
Under his influence, the Twelve Birds also trained desperately.
The combat room was full of the sounds of breathing, shouting, punching, and kicking. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
It was so inspiring, and the air was thick with hormones.
"Stop, everyone!"
At this point, Gabriel came into the combat room with Maria.
Seeing Gabriel, Thomas stopped jumping and tossed the rope away.
He shouted, "Line up!"
The thirteen people came to the center of the room in an orderly manner and stood in two lines.
"You're back, Gabriel!"
Gabriel was about to walk over with Maria when he heard someone calling him from behind.
He turned around and saw Ava crouching behind the door blinking at him.
"Oh, my God, you scared me! What are you doing behind the door? Aren't you afraid of getting your head caught?" Gabriel said irritably, feeling vexed.
Ava had clung to him.
She was happy to see Gabriel, but when she saw Maria, who was chewing gum with a proud face, the dimples on her face disappeared.
She snorted and pouted, "So you really hooked up with this woman, Gabriel? You're such a scumbag!"
As she cursed, she tried to stand up but found herself in an awkward situation: Her legs were numb, and she couldn't get up.
"Oh, I..."
She tried a few times, but even with the support of the wall, she couldn't get up, looking embarrassed.
"No wonder you're a girl from a rich family. You're only good at sitting on a toilet. Clearly, you've never squatted in a public restroom before. You're numb, aren't you? Haha, keep squatting!"
Gabriel smirked, showing no intention of helping Ava.
He walked with Maria towards Thomas and the others.
Leaving the chick squatting there would give him some peace of mind.
"Gabriel, you bastard! Pull me up now! My legs are truly numb. If I keep squatting, I'll lose my legs, waaa!"
Ava's loud curse came from behind when Gabriel reached those men.
He picked his earwax and deliberately raised his voice, "We're having a meeting today. It's going to be an hour long, so please be ready to focus!"
Hearing that it would last an hour, Ava was on the verge of tears.
Helpless, she cursed again, "You jerk, Gabriel! Why do you have to have a meeting that lasts an hour? Come over and pull me up first!"
"Don't let anyone disturb you!" Ignoring Ava, Gabriel continued, "You are all excellent and work hard, like uncarved marble.
"To enhance your combat power, apart from daily physical training, you also need a professional master to guide and polish you. Then you'll become beautiful statues.
"I hereby announce that Miss Maria Quinn is officially the master of the eighth-floor combat room!
"From today on, all thirteen of you and I will follow the training arrangements of the Master!
"Come on, call her master!"
After their previous lesson from Maria, none of the thirteen men, including Thomas, dared to show her any disrespect now.
Instead, they held sincere respect for her.
They were excited and happy to have her as their master.
"Master!" they shouted in unison, their voices resounding.
Maria was chewing gum, her hands in her pockets.
She took a step forward and coldly glanced at everyone before saying, "From today on, I am your master. I will teach you physical training and the basics of combat techniques! It will be a painful process, and I will make sure this memory stays with you for a lifetime!"
