Awakening the War God

Chapter 239 The Assassination Plot

Following Gabriel's guidance, Vicky promptly arranged a meeting with a trusted old associate later that night.

According to Vicky, this individual was remarkably reliable and unwaveringly loyal to her.

Consequently, Gabriel agreed to the rendezvous.

After all, they needed a breakthrough to alter their current predicament.

As they exited the hotel and were about to flag down a taxi, Gabriel's senses tingled, alerting him to a pursuing presence.

With swift precision, he outmaneuvered, incapacitated, and discretely disposed of the pursuers.

It was evident that Crow's henchmen were back at it.

Maintaining the utmost secrecy was vital for this meeting, and they couldn't risk Crow finding out.

After careful consideration, Gabriel decided to forgo the taxi and activated his car-jacking mode.

In a matter of moments, he had commandeered an Audi and silently drove to a restaurant situated near Resurrection Park. This restaurant served as their discreet meeting spot.

Upon entering the private room on the restaurant's third floor, Gabriel finally came face to face with the individual he had been anticipating.

Orion Wolfe, also known as Happy Brother.

He was one of the top-tier leaders from the Gumoldur City branch of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall, overseeing a team of forty to fifty subordinates and managing three of the hall's businesses.

"Miss Barnes, you've finally graced us with your presence, ha-ha!" Orion, with his rotund stature, couldn't contain his excitement.

When he saw Vicky, he sprang to his feet, letting out a hearty laugh.

Vicky welcomed him with an enchanting smile and proceeded to introduce Gabriel. "Mr. Gabriel, allow me to introduce one of my most loyal associates, Orion, known as Happy Brother. I can vouch for his unwavering loyalty to me."

"Mr. Gabriel, is it? Pleasure to make your acquaintance, ha-ha!" Orion's warm handshake was accompanied by his jovial laughter as he welcomed Gabriel and Vicky to their seats.

Before entering the private room, Gabriel had discreetly surveyed the surroundings, both inside and out. He estimated at least a dozen bodyguards present.

Orion's cautious approach was unmistakable.

However, the incessant tremors of laughter emanating from Orion's fleshiness were perplexing.

He looked as though he had partaken in a feast of peculiar laughter-inducing delicacies.

It was challenging to discern any remarkable abilities from his appearance.

If this individual was regarded as an insider, Gabriel couldn't help but question Vicky' judgment.

Once they were seated, Gabriel squinted thoughtfully and declared, "Since Miss Vicky places her trust in you, I'm willing to do the same. I'm a straightforward person, and the reason for our meeting with Happy Brother is quite simple: I need reliable information from him, which will offer me an opportunity to eliminate Crow."

"After Crow's demise, Miss Vicky, with your capabilities, will undoubtedly regain control of the clan."

Regardless of any reservations he held, this introduction had been arranged by Vicky, and he had no other alternatives in these unfamiliar surroundings.

Orion chuckled heartily and commended Gabriel, "Mr. Gabriel, you're a true force to be reckoned with. Only someone like you would speak so candidly about taking down Crow."

"I've heard about it from Miss Vicky and some friends in the underground. Your combat prowess is undoubtedly top-tier. In that case, I have some good news to share." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"If Mr. Gabriel desires to know Crow's whereabouts, I've been monitoring him closely. Tomorrow is Friday, and every Friday night, Crow frequents the underground boxing arena of Winner Takes All."

"For the past several months, there have been hardly any breaks, and during these visits, Crow often partakes in a few matches."

"The underground arena is a gritty place, and he doesn't bring an excessive number of bodyguards. This presents a prime opportunity to assassinate Crow."

"Winner Takes All? Underground boxing ring?" Gabriel's eyes narrowed.

He hadn't anticipated that Crow had a penchant for underground fights.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he followed Orion's lead, wearing a wry smile. "Impressive, it's an ideal place for an execution. Miss Vicky, I don't like to waste time. Since we have an opportunity, let's take action tomorrow night at the Winner Takes All underground boxing ring. How does that sound?"

With Crow only appearing at the arena on Fridays, they had to seize this chance.

Vicky graced Gabriel with a sultry smile. "You got it, Gabriel. I'm all ears to your game plan. Once we take down Crow, the whole clan will be in disarray. When I make my comeback, loyal folks like

Orion here will rally to my side. It won't be long before the clan is back under my thumb."

"Done deal!" Gabriel laughed heartily. "Now, do you have a picture of Crow? It would be a shame to go after the wrong guy tomorrow."

Orion seemed to be well-prepared. He pulled out a photograph and handed it over to Gabriel. "This is Crow."

Gabriel took the photo and couldn't help but chuckle.

Crow had quite a distinctive look. With his long face and a cascade of fiery red hair draping over his forehead, he resembled, well, a horse.

Looking at the photo, he felt an irresistible urge to saddle up. But quickly correcting himself, he grinned and said, "Alright, we'll take down Crow tomorrow."

The laughter in the room had an infectious quality, and soon, all three of them were sharing in the mirth.

After a flavorful feast, Gabriel felt the lingering heat in his mouth. When they returned to their hotel, everything was peaceful.

As the night grew late, Vicky slipped into Gabriel's bed from the neighboring one.

"Gabriel, I'd like a quickie," she purred, her eyes filled with seduction.

With a sigh, Gabriel replied, "We have business tomorrow; I need to conserve my energy."

"It'll be a quick one, won't take much time. Plus, I've been lonely for so long. I just couldn't resist tonight," Vicky began her advances.

In that moment, Gabriel suddenly rolled over, pinning Vicky down. A slender needle materialized in his right hand.

Without a word, he located a specific acupoint on Vicky' body and delivered a precise jab. Her eyes widened, and her ardor faded in an instant.

Pushing Gabriel away, she regarded him as though he were a piece of cold meat. Her desire had evaporated.

"Thank you," she said with indifference, then returned to her own bed, where she lay down to sleep.

Gabriel exhaled, relieved to finally get a good night's rest. With his Sun Mystical Needle, a few more strikes, and he could ensure Vicky remained cold and childless for life.

The next morning, he withdrew the needle from Vicky, who looked at him with amazement.

The two of them remained in the hotel until evening. When they finally checked the time, it was already 7 PM.

"Miss Vicky, I hope that the next time we meet, it will be as pleasant as today," Gabriel said with a thoughtful and somewhat somber gaze. His words carried a subtle undercurrent of melancholy.

Vicky responded with a sultry smile, teasingly wiggling her voluptuous hips. "Next time we meet, it'll be even more enjoyable, rest assured. By then, we'll be the most dependable friends and partners."

She leaned in, planted a gentle kiss on Gabriel's cheek, and whispered, "Your encouragement means the world. So, until we meet again. I'll return with Crow's head as a token for you."

With a confident, slightly devilish grin, Gabriel gave her a playful squeeze and left the room.

As Vicky watched Gabriel's departing figure, her eyes grew colder by the moment.
