Awakening the War God novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157 Before the Farewell

About five minutes later, Gabriel Edwards launched a domineering punch!

The punch was overwhelmingly fierce, with the power to destroy anything in its path.

Maria Adams crossed her arms in front of her chest to block, but she was still sent flying by the punch.

She felt a jolt in her chest, immense pain, and landed heavily on the mat.

"Master!"

Seeing this, Thomas Taylor and the others hurried over and helped Maria up.

The fight they just witnessed was truly exhilarating.

The duel between the masters showcased speed, strength, and explosive power to the fullest.

They also realized that they were still far behind.

Maria Adams pushed everyone away and shook her arms.

She was puzzled, wondering how Gabriel's punch was so powerful that it almost broke her arm!

Losing again, it was really frustrating!

Gabriel jumped down from the fighting platform and said with a smile, "Sorry, Maria, I didn't control my strength. Are you okay?"

He was so excited during the fight that he almost forgot to hold back.

Thankfully, he managed to control himself at the crucial moment, or he might have seriously injured Maria Adams!

Maria shook her head and said, "I'm fine. What level have you reached? I always feel that your strength is unfathomable!"

She had been diligently training her physique these days.

She felt that her physical abilities had improved compared to before, but even with her improvements, she still felt she couldn't match up to Gabriel in their duels.

This puzzled her greatly!

After thinking for a moment, Gabriel shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Let me brag a bit, without resorting to any underhanded tactics, purely in terms of physical strength, I'm second to none!"

Although this statement might sound arrogant, it was the truth!

Of course, if he encountered someone like Caius, who had tricky tactics, he might still lose.

As for his own level of strength, he really couldn't pinpoint it.

Maria Adams nodded silently and said, "I feel that I'll soon break through to the physical level. When that happens, I definitely want to spar with you again!"

"Sure, I'm always ready!" Gabriel scratched his head and said with a smile, "I'm going upstairs. Later, I'll treat everyone to dinner!"

Thomas and the others chuckled.

They all knew that Gabriel was missing Stella Turner.

Leaving the combat room, Gabriel didn't take the elevator but climbed the stairs to the ninth floor.

Pushing open the office door, the diligent Stella was engrossed in her work.

Unexpectedly, Ava Foster, this young lady, was also in the office, holding a small guitar and humming.

"Gabriel, xixi!"

Upon seeing Gabriel, Ava Foster's eyes lit up.

That kind of happiness came from the bottom of her heart.

The dimples on her face playfully appeared.

However, Gabriel looked at Ava with some disdain and said, "What are you doing here? Playing and singing, can't you see Stella is working?"

Such an attitude made Ava's smile fade, and she pouted.

She said angrily, "You fickle scumbag, if you don't want to see me, I'll leave, hmph!"

Holding her small guitar, Ava was about to leave.

But just as she reached the door, she heard Gabriel say, "I was thinking of going to Celestial Restaurant for a rice bowl tonight. Since someone doesn't want to go, it saves me some money!"

Ava stopped in her tracks and then turned back.

Holding back her laughter, she said, "For the sake of the meal, I forgive you!"

Gabriel was treating her to a meal, and it was the delicious rice bowl. No matter what, she had to stay and eat first!

Gabriel Edwards gave a wry smile and walked to the office desk.

Today, Stella was wearing a red uniform, looking even more charming.

He was stunned as he looked at her, thinking to himself.

How could this woman be so enchanting? Just a day or two without seeing her, and upon meeting again, she could still evoke such intense excitement in him.

It's too terrifying, truly too terrifying!

"What are you looking at?" Stella Turner suddenly looked up, rolling her eyes and said, "I'm busy. If there's nothing, please leave!"

"Alright, I'll leave right away!"
