Awakening the War God novel Chapter 213

Vicky' arrival presented an opportunity for Gabriel.

He had managed to secure the Silverwood Clan's foothold in Silverwood City, thanks to his tactical advantage and Leon's support.

However, other factions within the Ghostly Purgatory Hall were still beyond his reach.

And he had no capital trying to compete with the likes of the King of the Underworld for the title of Ghost Emperor.

The one-year deadline left him feeling somewhat restricted.

Vicky seeking refuge with him provided the perfect reason to get involved in the Gumoldur Clan of Ghostly Purgatory Hall. While it might seem like a flimsy excuse, it was a foot in the door.

And once you're in, you have the potential to be the sole victor!

If he could take control of Gumoldur Clan, he'd gain a force to reckon with.

After all, the scale of the Gumoldur Clan was in a league of its own compared to Silverwood City.

It was an international metropolis, a higher stage!

After Thomas arranged Vicky' accommodation, Gabriel found an empty room and called a meeting with Leon and Thomas.

In the room, they exchanged thoughts and opinions.

With narrowed eyes, Gabriel asked Leon, "Leon, do you know this Vicky?"

Leon shook his head but said, "I might not know her personally, but I've heard of her. She's rumored to be a terrifying woman who has effortlessly navigated among the major forces in Gumoldur City for years, at one point even making the clan one of the top three underground powers in the city."

"Besides, the rumors say she's cunning, ruthless, and has considerable combat skills. Many have met their end at her hands."

"Oh, and there's a rumor that she has close ties with several bigwigs in the city's political assembly. It's believed she climbed the ladder thanks to her... well-endowed posterior, and she even earned the nickname 'Goddess-like Buttocks' because of it."

"Goddess-like Buttocks?" Gabriel chuckled. "Sounds like a name James Harden would love. Hard to get to the bottom of it, eh!"

After the banter, he frowned, puzzled by something.

He found it strange how someone who had such a fearsome reputation would end up fleeing due to a rebellion by her own subordinates.

Yes, that was what bothered him.

If the rumors were true, Vicky was no pushover. If she was as formidable as people said, how could she lose so completely because of a rebellion by her subordinates?

Without a special reason, this didn't make sense.

Leon couldn't provide a clear answer. He said, "I don't know, but it may be related to the King of the Underworld. Although she's powerful, she's in a different league compared to the King of the Underworld."

After listening to Leon, Gabriel nodded contemplatively.

What Leon said did make sense. The big fish eat the small fish, and smaller fish eat shrimp. Officials have the power to squash people.

Although Vicky was a big shot in Gumoldur City, she couldn't be compared to the top-level ruler like the King of the Underworld.

If the King of the Underworld pulled out all the stops, her current situation made sense.

After thinking for a moment, he instructed Leon, "Contact Goddess of Wind and have her investigate the rebellion in Gumoldur City's Ghostly Purgatory Hall. I need to know all the details of what happened."

He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of this woman.

"Understood!"

Leon acknowledged the command.

Gabriel turned to Thomas and said, "Thomas, Vicky is staying at the club. I need you to protect her and keep a close watch on her."

"And there's something specific you need to be aware of since you're all men. I won't beat around the bush: this woman may be dangerous. Make sure your people keep themselves in check. We can't afford any slip-ups because of her allure."

Men understand men best.
