Awakening the War God novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Mr. Brooks 

Half an hour later. 

Gabriel Edwards had already boarded Leon's business car. 

Inside the car, it was spacious and luxurious. 

There was even a table specifically for drinking. 

On the shelf beside it, there were several bottles of imported wine. 

Gabriel Edwards held a Liggett Select in his mouth. 

It seemed a bit out of place in this luxurious car. 

"Where's Thomas Taylor?" Gabriel Edwards asked. 

Leon replied, "I have a reliable friend at the police station, holding a high position. I asked Thomas Taylor to take the recorded evidence to him. If there's any issue on your end, he'll immediately take action and summon James Davis." 

Gabriel Edwards was very satisfied with Leon's arrangement. 

It was because of this that he could continue to maintain his authority in front of the Davis family. 

He confirmed again, "Will Mr. Brooks really not side with the Davis family?" 

This was crucial. 

It almost determined whether he could continue the fight against the Davis family. 

"He probably won't!" Leon said, "Mr. Brooks's influence in Silverwood is among the top. What's more, he's a local power, which makes him even more formidable. However, he rarely gets involved in the struggles of other forces in Silverwood, only maintaining a balance appropriately." 

Gabriel Edwards nodded silently. 

The word "probably" from Leon already made him feel uneasy. 

It was suffocating. 

Soon, the car entered the State Assembly. 

Gabriel Edwards followed behind Leon and arrived at Mr. Brooks's office led by a secretary. 

"Hello, Mr. Brooks!" 

Upon entering the office, the usually authoritative Leon also bowed slightly. 

He took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with an elegant elderly man with half-white hair. 

The elder was Tyler Brooks. 

Wearing square glasses, he exuded a scholarly aura. 

"Mr. Leon, long time no see!" 

Tyler Brooks stood up with a smile and shook hands with Leon. 

Then, turning his gaze to Gabriel Edwards, he extended his right hand, "This must be Gabriel Edwards. So young!" 

Gabriel Edwards remained quite calm, having already formed an opinion about Tyler Brooks. 

Slick, and an old fox! 

He shook hands with Tyler Brooks, squinting and smiling, "Hello, Mr. Brooks. Just call me Gabriel." 

In front of Tyler Brooks, he had to show humility no matter what. 

Firstly, because Mr. Brook had a high position and authority. And secondly, because he was an elder. 

For elders who weren't enemies, he could maintain basic respect, just like a model young man. 

With a fierce expression, Michael Davis also stood up, his face gloomy, "Mr. Leon, I didn't expect that someone of your stature would start bringing kids around, just like a kindergarten teacher!" 

This remark instantly created a tense atmosphere. 

This statement was clearly aimed at Gabriel Edwards. 

Leon was immediately displeased and was about to speak. 

Talking about Gabriel Edwards was equivalent to slapping him in the face. 

But Gabriel Edwards on the side coldly chuckled and retorted, "A kindergarten kid is still better than some old geezer who's halfway in the grave, and someone whose teeth are almost all gone but still tries to show off his mouth. Leon, if this old guy dies in the future, donate a cheap urn for me, one made of toilet clay. It suits his stench!" 

When it came to hurling insults, Gabriel Edwards never backed down from anyone. 

Michael Davis had clearly picked the wrong target. 

"Gabriel Edwards, you're so young, don't be too arrogant!" 

Michael Davis wanted to cow Gabriel Edwards into submission with his face contorted in anger. 

He hadn't expected this young man to have such a sharp tongue. 

"If I'm not spirited, can I still be called a young man?" Gabriel Edwards snorted coldly, "Don't pride yourself on being a veteran. Even on a bus, I wouldn't give up my seat for some disrespectful old geezer!" 

"You..." 

Michael Davis was about to explode in anger. 

For so many years, he had never been insulted like this.
