Awakening the War God

Chapter 26 Mr. Brooks

Chapter 26 Mr. Brooks

Half an hour later.

Gabriel Edwards had already boarded Leon's business car.

Inside the car, it was spacious and luxurious.

There was even a table specifically for drinking.

On the shelf beside it, there were several bottles of imported wine.

Gabriel Edwards held a Liggett Select in his mouth.

It seemed a bit out of place in this luxurious car.

"Where's Thomas Taylor?" Gabriel Edwards asked.

Leon replied, "I have a reliable friend at the police station, holding a high position. I asked Thomas Taylor to take the recorded evidence to him. If there's any issue on your end, he'll immediately take action and summon James Davis."

Gabriel Edwards was very satisfied with Leon's arrangement.

It was because of this that he could continue to maintain his authority in front of the Davis family.

He confirmed again, "Will Mr. Brooks really not side with the Davis family?"

This was crucial.

It almost determined whether he could continue the fight against the Davis family.

"He probably won't!" Leon said, "Mr. Brooks's influence in Silverwood is among the top. What's more, he's a local power, which makes him even more formidable. However, he rarely gets involved in the struggles of other forces in Silverwood, only maintaining a balance appropriately."

Gabriel Edwards nodded silently.

The word "probably" from Leon already made him feel uneasy.

It was suffocating.

Soon, the car entered the State Assembly.

Gabriel Edwards followed behind Leon and arrived at Mr. Brooks's office led by a secretary.

"Hello, Mr. Brooks!"

Upon entering the office, the usually authoritative Leon also bowed slightly.

He took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with an elegant elderly man with half-white hair.

The elder was Tyler Brooks.

Wearing square glasses, he exuded a scholarly aura.

"Mr. Leon, long time no see!"

Tyler Brooks stood up with a smile and shook hands with Leon.

Then, turning his gaze to Gabriel Edwards, he extended his right hand, "This must be Gabriel Edwards. So young!"

Gabriel Edwards remained quite calm, having already formed an opinion about Tyler Brooks.

Slick, and an old fox!

He shook hands with Tyler Brooks, squinting and smiling, "Hello, Mr. Brooks. Just call me Gabriel."

In front of Tyler Brooks, he had to show humility no matter what.

Firstly, because Mr. Brook had a high position and authority. And secondly, because he was an elder.

For elders who weren't enemies, he could maintain basic respect, just like a model young man.

With a fierce expression, Michael Davis also stood up, his face gloomy, "Mr. Leon, I didn't expect that someone of your stature would start bringing kids around, just like a kindergarten teacher!"

This remark instantly created a tense atmosphere.

This statement was clearly aimed at Gabriel Edwards.

Leon was immediately displeased and was about to speak.

Talking about Gabriel Edwards was equivalent to slapping him in the face.

But Gabriel Edwards on the side coldly chuckled and retorted, "A kindergarten kid is still better than some old geezer who's halfway in the grave, and someone whose teeth are almost all gone but still tries to show off his mouth. Leon, if this old guy dies in the future, donate a cheap urn for me, one made of toilet clay. It suits his stench!"

When it came to hurling insults, Gabriel Edwards never backed down from anyone.

Michael Davis had clearly picked the wrong target.

"Gabriel Edwards, you're so young, don't be too arrogant!"

Michael Davis wanted to cow Gabriel Edwards into submission with his face contorted in anger.

He hadn't expected this young man to have such a sharp tongue.

"If I'm not spirited, can I still be called a young man?" Gabriel Edwards snorted coldly, "Don't pride yourself on being a veteran. Even on a bus, I wouldn't give up my seat for some disrespectful old geezer!"

"You..."

Michael Davis was about to explode in anger.

For so many years, he had never been insulted like this.

"Enough! This is the State Assembly, not a place for you to act recklessly!"

The elegant Tyler Brooks finally lost his patience, his face darkening, "I called you here for a proper discussion. If anyone else speaks out of turn, get out!"

Seeing Tyler Brooks angry, Gabriel Edwards quickly tried to appease him.

With a playful smile on his face, he said nonchalantly, "My apologies, Mr. Brooks. I sometimes speak without thinking."

Having gained the upper hand verbally just now, it was time to pull back.

Moreover, by actively appeasing Tyler Brooks, he could shut Michael Davis up.

And also leave Michael Davis out in the cold.

Tyler Brooks, being an old hand at this, was adept at controlling his expressions. He praised Gabriel Edwards, "It's okay for a young man to be spirited, as long as he knows when to rein it in. Come, please sit."

With that, Michael Davis on the side looked somewhat embarrassed.

He could only sit down by himself, feeling a bit left out.

This time, his verbal provocation had gained him no advantage.

It was like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot!

After everyone had sat down and the secretary had served tea, the conversation began.

Tyler Brooks, exuding the aura of a big shot, slowly said, "Birchwood, in the central region of Dragon Kingdom, is the most important province and a major cultural and tourist province. The nation has always paid close attention to the development of Birchwood."

"I was born on this land and love it deeply. Therefore, I don't want to see anyone cause trouble and disturb the peace here."

"The events of the past few days have thrown the long-stable Birchwood into chaos."

"Davis family, a major clan in Silverwood, and Jack Davis from the Davis family is also an important councilor in the city."

"Gabriel, the mysterious young master of Apex Bank!"

"How many people have you involved in your fight?"

"Since yesterday, many in the State Assembly have been running around because of your issues. My head is about to explode!" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"It's one thing for you to fight, but for people of your status to resort to such underhanded tactics is simply disgraceful!"

"If I didn't intervene today, to what extent would you have taken this?"

"Gabriel do you really intend to kill?"

"Sir Davis, are you really going to let your grandson humiliate the sisters from the Foster family?"

Gabriel Edwards squinted and remained silent.

Michael Davis also didn't dare to speak.

Now, whoever spoke would only get scolded.

After a pause, Tyler Brooks continued, "Gabriel injured James Davis. Before that, James Davis had hired thugs to kidnap Ava Foster from the Foster family. Now, even the police station is divided into two factions, both waiting to make arrests."

"You tell me, who should be arrested?"

"This is simply ridiculous!"

"In my opinion, both of you have suffered losses. Let's just let this matter go and not pursue it any further."

This solution was like giving each party an equal punishment.

With the attitude of making big things small and small things even smaller.

"But!" Michael Davis suddenly became anxious, "Mr. Brooks, my grandson will be left with a lifelong disability. I can't swallow this breath!"

He felt this solution was unfair.

Gabriel Edwards had no issues, but his grandson would be crippled for life.

"Whether you can swallow it or not, you have to. Over the years, your grandson has acted recklessly in Birchwood, committing countless heinous deeds that have angered both gods and men. Do I need to spell it out?"

Tapping his right index finger on the sofa, Tyler Brooks's face darkened, "In my opinion, your grandson is lucky to only be left with a disability. Do you really think that in the entire Dragon Kingdom, only the Davis family is supreme? If one day he encounters a truly powerful force, and someone beats him to death, it wouldn't be unjustified!"

Michael Davis was immediately at a loss for words and dared not speak further.

He could see that Tyler Brooks was truly angry.

Indeed, over the years,

The descendants of the Davis family had been utterly lawless.

Seeing Michael Davis being scolded like a grandson, Gabriel Edwards almost laughed out loud from the side.

Tyler Brooks was quite interesting.

But before Gabriel Edwards could revel in his triumph for long, Tyler Brooks suddenly shifted his gaze to him, "And you, Gabriel, you were too ruthless. The Davis family only has these two precious grandsons, and one has been crippled by you. The other today probably won't fare much better, right?"

Upon hearing the reprimand, Gabriel Edwards was unfazed.

Compared to Tyler Brooks's scolding of Michael Davis, these few words directed at him felt rather insignificant.

"After all that's been said, I truly hope you both can reconcile."

With a sigh, Tyler Brooks revealed a smile again, his tone becoming gentler, "If you genuinely can't reconcile, then fight honorably. Don't resort to despicable means like kidnapping and hijacking. Such incidents should not happen again!"

"Whichever party resorts to these tactics, you will mean to oppose me!"

"Fight honorably. If you lose, accept your fate!"
