Awakening the War God novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 The Mediator

Upon receiving Michael's order, Grant became assertive.

He sized up Gabriel before waving to his subordinates. "Go get this unruly fellow!"

"Yes, sir!"

Each of the dozen officers was alarmed.

Two of them approached Gabriel, intending to subdue him.

"This is really irritating!"

Frustration welled up inside Gabriel as the police officers upset his plan.

How could he allow himself to be captured by two mere officers?

With lightning speed, he grabbed the wrist of one officer and twisted it forcefully.

The officer grunted in pain, dropping his gun.

Gabriel caught the gun with his left hand and pressed it against the head of the other officer.

All of this happened in an instant.

Gabriel subdued the two officers, leaving the others stunned.

Stella was startled and instinctively covered her mouth.

These were not ordinary people. They were police officers.

And Gabriel attacked them.

She couldn't imagine the consequences.

"You're assaulting officers! Drop your gun now!"

Grant was taken aback and quickly drew his gun, shouting at Gabriel.

The other officers also raised their guns, aiming at Gabriel.

Tension instantly filled the air.

Witnessing this scene, Joseph and Michael couldn't hide their delight.

They shared the same thought. It would be best if things escalated, resulting in Gabriel accidentally injuring or killing an officer.

That way, Gabriel would be charged with a severe crime.

No one would be able to save him.

"Drop my gun? Why don't you let them fire their guns first? Let's see who dies first. If you keep pushing it, I don't mind killing every one of you!"

Gabriel wasn't the type of man to passively await his fate.

And putting down his gun was out of the question.

The tougher Gabriel's attitude was, the happier Michael felt.

He shifted his gaze and shouted, fanning the flame, "Mr. Jenkins, give the order to shoot. I'll bear all the consequences."

As long as Gabriel engaged in a firefight with the officers, regardless of the outcome, Gabriel would be the loser.

Grant was caught in a dilemma.

He had only received a call from Jack to come and offer support.

Deep down, he didn't want the situation to escalate.

But he never expected Gabriel to be so fierce, daring to resist the officers.

On top of that, he disarmed one officer and subdued another.

The situation had spiraled out of control, giving him an immense headache.

And Michael was pressuring him. If he had known this, he wouldn't have come.

While he was torn, Michael grew anxious and urged again, "Grant, what are you waiting for? This man has killed and injured many people. The evidence is clear for many serious crimes. My two grandsons are still in the hospital after being hit by him. If you catch him, it will be eradicating evil for the people. I promise I will let Jack report your feats to the assembly."

Grant was swayed.

Reporting his feats?

He might get promoted because of it.

With that in mind, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fi..."

But before he could finish his words, Gabriel's phone suddenly rang.

The sound was loud, startling the police officers.

They almost subconsciously pulled the trigger.

Gabriel remained composed as he pointed the gun at a police officer and took out his phone with his right hand. To his surprise, it was Santos calling.

"Hello?" He answered the phone but heard a strange voice.
