Chapter 25 Two Phone Calls
"I dare you!" Michael roared from the other end of the phone.
Gabriel maintained a calm expression, but a glint suddenly flickered in his eyes. "Try me! I'll count to three, and we'll listen together.
"Three!"
"Two!
Everyone held their breath.
The tension in the air reached its peak.
Just as Gabriel was about to say "one", Michael suddenly lost his edge. "Wait a minute, Gabriel. There is no deep hatred between you and the Davis family. Why must it come to the point of a desperate fight?"
Given Gabriel's actions, he truly was a madman.
Michael was unsure if this lunatic wouldn't kill his grandson.
To be on the safe side, he had to stall Gabriel.
"Why can't I understand what you're saying?" Gabriel said slowly, but his tone grew colder. "It was your grandson who barged into my woman's house with a group of men, humiliating her and her sister. They provoked me to this extent. What's wrong with me killing this bastard?
"Why do you sound like I'm the unreasonable one?
"Is this how the Davis family reasons?
"I am a rough person and not good at reasoning. So, let's just listen to the drop."
People from these big families always thought too highly of themselves.
When their self-importance turned into a habit, it only made others detest them.
Gabriel had no patience for such people.
Just as he was about to let go, Michael anxiously shouted through the phone, "Gabriel, I am currently in Mr. Brooks' office, and Leon will come later. Let's put aside our grievances and have a good talk!"
"Mr. Brooks, the congressman from Birchwood?" Gabriel frowned immediately.
The six congressmen controlled the entire state.
Could this man be the power behind the Davis family?
Gabriel was starting to have a headache.
He thought about it and felt that something was amiss.
If there were really a provincial congressman as their support, the Davis family would have been more powerful than they were now.
From what he could see, the Davis family's power hadn't reached that level yet.
Then why was this old fool in Mr. Brooks' office?
After thinking it through, he had two choices.
He could kill Samuel and completely stir the muddy waters in Silverwood.
The result would be that he might struggle to establish himself in Silverwood using a legitimate identity.
And he would have to continue using a fake identity.
Or he could take Michael's advice and go to negotiate with the man.
If their talk went smoothly, he would officially enter Silverwood and become a player in the game.
Everyone would approve of his identity.
The only regret was that he couldn't kill Samuel, that despicable creature.
"Well, it depends on my mood!"
With that thought in mind, Gabriel hung up the phone.
He had already made up his mind.
He would choose the second option.
If Samuel had really violated Mia or Ava today, not even the congressman could save him.
But since there was no substantial harm and Samuel was barely clinging to life, he could settle it peacefully.
With a high-ranking official involved, he should adjust the strategy.
He would compete with the Davis family fairly and squarely.
And the victor would be determined by their abilities.
After ending the call, he pulled Samuel back inside.
And the man thudded on the floor.
In an instant, Ava, Mia, and Robert were all relieved.
The semi-conscious Samuel relaxed and gasped for air.
Finally, he could live.
Gabriel pondered for a moment and took out his phone, ready to call Leon.
Michael's words shouldn't be false, but he needed to confirm with Leon.
