Chapter 107 the King of the Underworld
By the time Gabriel Edwards woke up, it was almost noon.
He yawned and stretched, feeling extremely comfortable.
But there was still a hint of grogginess in his head.
"Ah, you're awake. You have a good tolerance for alcohol. After drinking my gourd of wine, most people would sleep for three days and nights!"
Blind John, who was fiddling with a snake, walked into Gabriel Edwards's room with a big smile.
He joked as he looked at the just-awakened Gabriel.
Gabriel Edwards patted the back of his head, trying hard to recall.
He vaguely remembered fighting with Hosea and Devil.
But his memory was blurry, and he couldn't remember much after drinking the wine.
"By the way, what happened last night? I remember after drinking your wine, I passed out. How were Hosea and Devil driven away?" Gabriel Edwards asked.
Judging from the current situation, the crisis from last night must have been resolved.
But he had no idea how it was resolved.
Blind John rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You have the nerve to ask. After drinking my wine, you went completely mad. The poisonous smoke couldn't harm you. You went up and punched each
one of them, killing Hosea and Devil. In the end, it was that guy called Leon who handled the aftermath."
There was no choice for Blind John. He had previously promised Zoe Evans about the drunken Gabriel.
When he woke up, there was no need to tell him the truth.
Because after getting drunk, he didn't even know his own state, let alone explain to the sober Gabriel Edwards.
In short, it seemed a bit like a dual personality.
But it was sure that it wasn't a dual personality.
"Huh?"
Gabriel Edwards was a bit incredulous.
Last time, Blind John told him that when he was drunk, he went to a cowshed in the suburbs and punched several cows to death.
He was frustrated for a while, feeling like he was being fooled like an idiot.
Now again, he was punching one by one, but this time he was hitting people.
Such a bizarre incident, if told, probably no one would believe.
"Don't look at me like that. I lost a gourd of wine and felt painful. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zoe when she comes back. You can't possibly not trust Zoe, right? By the way, are you going to reimburse me for my wine?"
Blind John said, stretching out his right hand with a naive smile on his face.
"Get lost! No money for you, and I won't spare my life either!"
Gabriel slapped his head again and jumped out of bed.
He looked around and asked, "Where is Stella Turner?"
Blind John, who didn't get his money, was very displeased and said irritably, "She left early in the morning. Oh, she left after receiving a phone call." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Gabriel nodded and took out his phone.
After thinking for a moment, he called Stella Turner.
Now, Stella had completely fallen out with the Davis family, had nowhere to go, and was in a very dangerous situation.
Gabriel had to keep this woman by his side to feel at ease.
"Hello?"
The call connected, and Stella Turner's voice sounded dull.
Gabriel Edwards directly asked, "Where did you go? You know it's dangerous for you to be alone right now, right?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment before she hesitated and said, "You find a hotel to reserve a room with a big bed. I'll live with you during this period."
"Huh? A room with a big bed? Live together?" Gabriel Edwards's eyes widened, and he smiled, "What do you mean? Are you planning to offer yourself?"
He always felt that Stella was acting strangely.
Stella Turner replied coldly, "Even if that's the case, once you've booked the hotel, send me the address, and I'll come directly."
After saying that, she didn't give Gabriel a chance to refuse and hung up the phone.
"What's going on?"
Holding the phone, Gabriel was a bit stunned.
But no matter what, there might be a night of earthly pleasures tonight.
Immediately after, he called Leon.
He only had one thing to say, telling Leon to meet him as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, Leon hurriedly arrived at Stellar Estate.
"Mr. Gabriel!"
Upon seeing Gabriel Edwards, Leon respectfully bowed.
"Sit!" Gabriel nodded and poured a cup of tea for Leon.
Squinting his eyes and taking a drag from his cigarette, Gabriel said, "You know why I called you here. I'll get straight to the point. Are Hosea, Devil and Delan from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall? Whose forces do they belong to? Why did they come to kill me?"
Judging by the way those three acted, they were undoubtedly from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall.
Only people from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall would use such ridiculous assassination methods and have such strange names.
Hosea? Devil? Delan?
They really considered themselves as beings from hell.
"Yes, Mr. Gabriel, they are all from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall!" After sitting down, Leon nodded, "Hosea is one of the Ten Yama Kings. The Ten Yama Kings are the elite forces of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall. Each of them is listed on the Sky List. However, the Hosea who came this time is the weakest among the Ten Yama Kings."
"As for Devil and Delan, their positions are similar to mine. We are all Hell Commander and Ghost Messenger, but those two are Soul Capturing Enforcer, while I am a Demon Enforcer."
"Last night, I informed Goddess of Wind of this thing over the phone. According to her, these three are all under the influence of the King of the Underworld."
"After Ghostly King died, the King of the Underworld became the most powerful and has always been ambitious to seize the position of the Ghostly King."
"This time, it was indeed the King of the Underworld who ordered Hosea, Devil and Delan to assassinate you. According to Goddess of Wind's speculation, it's very likely that the King of the Underworld received some information, thinking that you would pose a threat to his quest for the position of Ghostly King. That's why he sent people to kill you as soon as possible."
Gabriel nodded silently, his thoughts aligning with what was said.
It was indeed a force from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall that wanted to eliminate him, a threat to them.
The King of the Underworld, as passed down in folklore, is a great Buddhist figure who vowed not to become a Buddha until hell is empty, and is deeply revered by later generations.
But this person from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall, who borrowed the name of the King of the Underworld, obviously tarnished the reputation of the real King of the Underworld.
"You know the King of the Underworld, right? What kind of person is he?" Gabriel asked again.
Leon answered, "Yes, I know the King of the Underworld. But I've been in Silverwood for many years and am not familiar with the higher-ups of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall. I've only seen him three or five times, all at large gatherings of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall. My impression of him is summed up in a word: mysterious! He's awe-inspiring and inscrutable. It's said that the King of the Underworld's combat power is also unfathomable and extremely terrifying."
After hearing Leon's words, Gabriel Edwards frowned.
It seemed that this King of the Underworld was not simple.
After thinking it over and weighing his options, Gabriel said to Leon, "Let's put aside the assassination attempt by the King of the Underworld for now. We'll settle this score later. The most pressing matter is to deal with the Davis family!"
"Tomorrow afternoon, everything will proceed according to plan!"
"Yes!" Leon stood up respectfully.
Gabriel waved his hand, and Leon didn't linger, leaving in a hurry.
After arriving, Leon didn't even take a sip of tea.
Gabriel Edwards squinted his eyes, lost in thought again.
The struggle in Silverwood would end tomorrow.
Whether he could secure this foothold would depend on tomorrow...
