Awakening the War God novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 The Captive

The Undying Palace was an organization formed by a few pirate leaders at sea. Once flourishing and notorious, it struck fear into people's hearts.

But in recent years, various countries formed a naval alliance against the pirates, repeatedly attacking the Undying Palace's arrogance.

After several assaults, the Undying Palace suffered heavy losses.

Following that, the palace's lord, a terrifyingly powerful individual, was besieged and killed by many from the God Temple.

For a time, the Undying Palace was left leaderless and completely vanished from the history stage.

Unexpectedly, the palace made a comeback years later.

Taking advantage of the Black Pearl's voyage in international waters, they launched a coordinated attack with their men there and seized control of the ship.

As of now, hundreds of pirates wearing red headscarves had boarded the ship, armed with guns, sweeping and slaughtering the thousands of passengers on the cruise ship.

Some of them even carried rocket launchers.

Facing such firepower, the passengers on the ship couldn't do anything but be slaughtered.

Screams filled the air, and death was everywhere.

The entire cruise ship had become a living hell...

At the auction venue on the seventh floor.

Dean led the crew in a fierce battle with Rafael Castillo and his men.

Both sides were evenly matched. With similar strength, Dean and Rafael fought to a stalemate for half a day.

In another spot, Bernard Duncan and the young man were fighting each other without a clear winner.

"Enough, stop fighting! You're a smart man, and there's no point in fighting to the death at this time. The Ice Ganoderma is so big that we can share it equally! The most important thing now is to deal with the pirates!" the young man grabbed Bernard's arms and shouted.

Bernard froze in the standoff.

The young man's voice had changed, and it was very familiar.

"Are you... Gabriel?" He was astonished.

Yes, this was Gabriel's voice!

"It's me, Gabriel! Let's not talk about anything else for now. Mr. Duncan, do you agree with my proposal? You know my background, and it would be easy for your forces to find me in the Silverwood, so there's no need to worry about me going back on my word in the future!"

This young man was Gabriel indeed!

That day, when he met Ebony Diaz, the latter informed him of the identity of Cynthia Morgan, one from the God Temple, and also gave him one thing before leaving.

That thing was a human skin mask.

Although he didn't know why Ebony gave him the human skin mask, having it allowed him to devise a plan to startle the snake out of hiding when he had no clue about the Blood Scripture!

A fake blood scripture caused Cynthia and Dean to fall into chaos.

And he used the human skin mask to hide in the shadows, observing everything.

As for the night he fought with Kelly Fisher, he deliberately showed weakness and fell into the sea, having already arranged for Dominick Parker to rescue him.

Dominick was one of the forces left to him by the previous Ghostly King, and like Elizabeth and Leon, he was also loyal!

Afterward, he disguised himself with the human skin mask, pretending to be Dominick's subordinate, and waited for the right moment.

As for Angela Moreno, he had moved her away in advance to the room of Dominick's subordinate on the fourteenth floor.

Now that Dominick had taken the Ice Ganoderma, his most important mission was accomplished.

However, the appearance of these pirates had somewhat disrupted his plans.

Now, the outside was full of slaughter, and the lives of thousands of tourists were threatened.

He was not a great hero, nor was he one with high moral standards, but he couldn't bear to stand idly by as his Dragon Kingdom compatriots suffered.

He could compromise with Bernard on the matter of the Ice Ganoderma.

He hated Alonzo Garza, not the others.

If the party was to save people, it wouldn't matter if they shared half of the Ice Ganoderma, as long as there was enough to save Zoe.
