Awakening the War God novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 The Terrible Ghost Face

After being a designated driver for three years, Gabriel knew all the roads in Silverwood.

Moreover, he had been to Santos' house before, so he had already planned the best route.

He visualized a map of Silverwood in his mind.

Like navigating a location, Gabriel positioned Ghost Face as a red dot.

As Gabriel estimated Ghost Face's speed and route, the red dot on the map in his head was approaching Santos' home step by step.

And himself was the green dot.

He sprinted at high speed.

As a result, it was clear who would be the one arriving at the Adams family first.

Now, if there was no traffic jam on either side, Ghost Face was expected to get there about five minutes ahead.

The five minutes could be the difference between life and death for Santos.

In the study room of the Adams family.

Santos, practicing calligraphy, was interrupted by Captain Johnson, who rushed in.

Captain Johnson, a retired special combat soldier, was armed to the teeth.

With four of his men, Captain Johnson guarded Santos.

After Freddie told Santos what happened, Santos talked to Maria on the phone.

Looking grave, he took out his phone and stepped aside.

When Santos returned, Freddie, who was nervous, said, "Mr. Adams, did you call the police station and ask them to send police over to protect you?"

"Police station? "Santos glared and shouted angrily, "Police station is the power of the Davis family. What's the use of calling them? I've just contacted the War Department. Lee will bring in some soldiers!"

"But the Ministry of War is too far from here. It's better to go into the secret room now and wait for Maria to come back!"

Silverwood's police station and the Dragon Guard Agency were almost under the power of the Davis family.

The Davis family masterminded this assassination.

Men of the police station could not be trusted.

Otherwise, it might bring danger instead!

But Santos had a close relationship with several senior officers of Silverwood’s Ministry of War.

Only the power of the Ministry of War was worthy of his trust.

Now, running around was more dangerous.

The best way was to hide in the secret room.

The secret room was hard to find, and others did not know where it was.

The crisis would be lifted when Maria came home, and the Ministry of War members arrived.

Once the crisis was over, Santos would make the Davis family suffer.

He would not rest until all of the members of Davis family died.

Freddie didn't dare to say anything else. Together with Captain Johnson, he escorted Santos to the backyard.

Captain Johnson pushed open cabinets in a small room in the backyard where clutter was piled up.

The entrance to the basement appeared.

A narrow aisle stretched downward.

After about twenty steps, they arrived at the secret room.

It was larger than two basketball courts.

The lighting was bright, and the decoration was luxurious.

It was like the living room of a big family.

Santos sat down on the sofa without any worries.

Freddie was very smart and went to boil water to make tea.

In the whole secret room, there were all kinds of daily necessities that could satisfy all the needs of daily life.

And Captain Johnson looked gloomy, holding a saber. He and the four soldiers guarded the entrance to the secret room.

Time passed by.

Freddie fidgeted and paced back and forth.

On the contrary, it was Santos, steady as a mountain, drinking tea by himself.

Just then, there was a sound of a cabinet sliding.

Santos jerked his head up, and Freddie stopped in his tracks.

Captain Johnson was shocked, gripping his saber tightly and saying to the other four guards, "Someone's coming, get ready!"

The four nodded their heads and prepared for battle.

The sound of crisp footsteps came.

Ta-da~

The sound tugged at everyone's heartstrings.

It might be Maria.

Or it was Ghost Face, the Davis family's assassin.

Everyone stared at the secret room entrance, waiting to see who it was.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a cough came.

It broke everyone's illusions.

Santos instantly frowned, put down his teacup, and stood up.

It was a man's voice, not Maria.

Then it could only be Ghost Face.

"Ahem, Mr. Adams, why are you hiding here, causing me to search!"

Two people slowly walked out of the narrow passageway.

The one walking in front was a purple-robed man.

He walked in with his hands behind his back. The man’s face was black, and his skin was scorched and wrinkled. He was powerful.

It was Ghost Face.

Behind Ghost Face was a middle-aged woman.

She kept rubbing her hands together, looking very nervous.

"Sarah, I treat you well. Why are you leading the way for the bad guy?"

Santos glanced at the middle-aged woman behind Ghost Face and felt disappointed.

And he understood why Ghost Face easily found the secret room.

This middle-aged woman was Sarah.

She had been a nanny for ten years in the Adams family.
