Awakening the War God novel Chapter 134

Ava paused for a moment, then a touch of coyness flashed across her face.

The fact that Gabriel gave her the freedom to decide warmed her heart.

It at least proved that Gabriel did care about her feelings.

While she had initially wanted Gabriel to teach Pablo a lesson and let off some steam, she held back at the last moment.

"Gabriel, this should be enough. Let him go," she said.

Pablo only embraced her waist, and then his hand was pierced by four forks.

The punishment had been quite enough.

Furthermore, Pablo had just claimed to be the grandson of Mr. Brooks, suggesting a significant family background and influence.

In that case, there was no need to escalate the situation and bring potential trouble to Gabriel's.

"Alright." Gabriel flashed a slight smile and nodded with a sense of relief.

Ava still had some level-headedness left in her.

She had boundaries.

In fact, he'd be disappointed if he were allowed to retaliate without restraint.

Understanding where the line was showed some intelligence.

He lightly patted Pablo's face with a disappointed expression. "Kid, consider yourself lucky. My lady here says to let you off the hook. We can call it a day!"

"Okay, okay..." Pablo quickly agreed, finally about to gain his freedom.

However, Gabriel's tone shifted, and he continued, "But here's the deal. Since you invoked Mr. Tyler Brook's name to intimidate me, you can't just leave on your own. You'll need to wait for Tyler to arrive and take you away. Otherwise, you won't be going anywhere!"

Pablo was momentarily taken aback and inwardly cursed his luck.

He wasn't scared of his grandfather coming to his rescue, but his right hand was stuck to the table.

It hurt.

And waiting for his grandfather to arrive meant enduring more pain.

"Alright, I'll make the call and have my grandfather come!"

With no other option, he awkwardly reached into his right pocket with his left hand and struggled to retrieve his phone.

After unlocking it with facial recognition, he quickly called Tyler.

The phone rang twice before Tyler picked up. "Hello, Grandpa, I'm at Michelin Restaurant. I've got beaten up. Please come and save me!"

Pablo's plea for help surprised Tyler, and he immediately flew into a rage. "This is Silverwood. Who dares to lay a hand on my dear grandson? Don't worry, Grandpa will skin him for you!"

Before Pablo could say anything else, Gabriel took the phone from him.

Then, he pressed the speakerphone button.

With a composed tone, he said, "Mr. Brooks, quite the authoritative figure you are. It was me who beat your grandson. I'm curious to see how you plan to kin me alive."

The voice on the other end hesitated for a moment before Tyler finally said, "You... You're Gabriel?"

His tone had clearly softened, filled with surprise.

Gabriel replied, "Yes, it's me. Let's get to the point. Just tell me how you plan to kin me alive. Mr. Brooks."

Gabriel, angered in his heart, lamented the despicable conduct of these government officials.

They shamelessly wielded the power given to them by the people as their own tool, acting haughtily above the common citizens and abusing their authority.

Countless innocent civilians, he thought, must have suffered injustice at the hands of these beasts without recourse.

Just look at how Tyler had behaved earlier, displaying arrogance and superiority, and it was evident that the entire Brooks family had a history of oppressing the common folk.

While appearing to be a cultured senior on the surface, was merely wearing a facade of civility.

Tyler said, "Gabriel, let's not engage in these empty pleasantries. What's the matter at hand? Why did you attack my grandson right after he returned from abroad?"

Gabriel responded with a counterquestion, "Do you even know what kind of person your grandson is? I was having dinner with a few girls when your grandson approached us, harassed my women, and shamelessly declared that he intended to take one of my ladies with him for the night. Tell me, should I not have taught him a lesson?"

Listening to Gabriel's words, Tyler couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Gabriel couldn't help but berate himself, feeling like a complete idiot.

"Why'd you have to go and mess with Gabriel, my foolish grandson?" he thought to himself.

He spoke with a stern tone, "My grandson was out of line in this situation. I apologize on his behalf. Please don't hold it against him. Young folks sometimes get a bit carried away. For my sake, how about we let it slide?"

Pablo's eyes widened in surprise, resembling dead fish that had suddenly come to life.

In all his years, he had never seen his grandfather offer an apology to anyone.
