Awakening the War God novel Chapter 73

Thomas became elated at Gabriel's words.

He couldn't believe his ears.

Head of Silverwood Clan of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall was a prominent position in Silverwood's underground realm, one of the top three powers.

Up until now, he'd been a small-time thug, at the mercy of the existing leaders.

Now, he had the chance to rise to a prominent position.

"Boss, thank you for this opportunity. I promise to give it my all and not tarnish your name!"

Excitement still radiated from Thomas as he made his commitment.

Opportunities like this were exceedingly rare, and he wouldn't let this one slip through his fingers.

Gabriel nodded in satisfaction and added, "I believe in you. But remember, even though I can guide you, you'll need your own strength and determination to blaze this trail."

"The position of Silverwood Clan's head in the Ghostly Purgatory Hall is no small challenge."

"Once you, Thomas Taylor, succeed, no one will dare to look down on you. Be mentally prepared for that!"

Thomas possessed a relatively high degree of adaptability.

Being the head of Silverwood Clan wouldn't be too challenging for him.

After dealing with the Davis family, he could use Silverwood as his base.

With the flexibility to advance or retreat, he could focus on unraveling the mysteries surrounding his identity, and the Ghostly King's legacy.

"Don't worry, Boss. That position will undoubtedly be mine!" Thomas confidently declared, and a hint of dominance emerged.

"All right, let's call it a day for the training. Hit the showers and freshen up. Tonight, we'll go racing with Maria."

Gabriel patted Thomas' shoulder, encouraging him.

Thomas nodded and turned away excitedly. After taking a few steps, he returned with excitement.

But shortly after he took a few steps ahead, he turned and ran back, wondering, "Boss, for tonight's race, should it be me or you facing off against Maria? And what's the wager?"

"You? You really think you can beat her in racing?" Gabriel countered with a smirk.

Even though he had managed to defeat Maria that one day, it was clear that this young woman had impressive racing skills.

When it came to racing, Thomas was good, but not on her level.

He was more of a diversion in this situation; Gabriel would be the one to make the final move.

He squinted thoughtfully and then continued, "When the time comes, just watch for my signals. Keep her occupied at first, and I'll finish the job in the end. As for the bet..."

"If she loses, she'll have to strip down, and I'll have some fun with her."

The more arrogant someone was, the more they needed a challenge that pushed their boundaries, even if it meant embarrassment. It could either make them furious or completely conquered.

Ava wasn't thrilled with the idea.

She pouted and playfully hit Gabriel with her small fists while exclaiming, "You incorrigible playboy, dumping me for Stella, and now, just a few days later, you're onto Maria! I could kill you, you heartless scoundrel!"

Jumping from one person to another? He was too fickle for her taste.

Why would she fall for such a wishy-washy guy?

"Alright, alright, stop it! I was just kidding about it!"

Gabriel dodged Ava's playful attacks, and they playfully chased each other around the training room.

Thomas, witnessing this playful exchange, gave Gabriel a big thumbs-up.

Impressive!

Gabriel seemed determined to conquer all four of Silverwood's beauties.

If he succeeded, he'd undoubtedly become the kingpin of the dating scene.

Later that evening, around eight o'clock, a section of Grass Beach Road was inexplicably blocked off.

At a crossroad parked a few cars.

Several taxis, all in a ghastly shade of yellow, were parked at one of the intersections.

Maria, wearing a leather jacket, leaned casually against the hood of one of the cars, her hands in her pockets, nonchalantly chewing gum.

Beside her, someone was marking lines on the road, and a grid girl held the chess pieces for the race.

A group of seven or eight young people surrounded them, chatting and laughing.
