Awakening the War God

Chapter 85 Collusion

Chapter 85 Collusion

Compared to the furious Davis family, the Adams family was much quieter.

The War Department helped take care of the funerals of Captain Johnson and the four guards.

All the coordination was handled under the supervision of it.

In the meantime, the three army green trucks stood guard at the entrance of the Adams' house, serving as a deterrent.

When everything had been done, it was already past 9 p.m.

Gabriel didn't leave. Now he was sitting in the dining room of the Adams' house.

The table was filled with everyday dishes, many of which were served in bowls instead of plates.

There were also two bottles of very precious wine, which had been stored for over fifteen years.

There were only four people at the table, so the atmosphere was a bit cold.

They were Santos, Maria, Gabriel, and Division Commander James Lucas, who had come here from the War Department.

James had a typical square face and a very serious demeanor. Now he was sitting up straight.

He exuded a strong military aura, displaying it to the fullest.

Gabriel was a bit entranced.

After Santos introduced James to him, he felt that something was strange with James.

It was a feeling of familiarity, awe, and sacredness.

He felt like he had found the roots in the body.

Do I have some kind of relationship with the War Department? Gabriel thought.

His head began to ache, but he couldn't remember anything.

"Gabriel, you can drink some wine, right? An ordinary person usually won't have a chance to drink this wine of mine. It has been buried in the backyard. You won't find anything like it after draining all these bottles!"

Santos uncorked a bottle, and Maria brought three glasses.

Although it was fine wine, they used large goblets.

Maria seemed to have experience in pouring wine. She made the wine reach the brim of each glass with bubbles floating on the surface.

James laughed, "It's really rare to have a chance to drink Mr. Adams' wine. I didn't come in vain!"

Gabriel finally came back to his senses. He said honestly, "I can drink a bottle of wine, but no more. If I drink more, I'll get drunk and lose my senses!

"I've been drunk twice. The first time, I went to a cattle farm outside the city and killed seven or eight cows with seven or eight punches, making the owner cry in distress!

"I lost everything the next day. I paid tens of thousands of dollars in compensation!

"After that, I ate beef every day for several months!"

"Hahaha!" they laughed.

It sounded like a boastful joke, but everything Gabriel said was true.

Christopher Evans, Zoe Evans, and Blind John had all experienced the nightmarish night.

Afterwards, when Gabriel asked about it, none of them were willing to mention it.

"You must have drunk adulterated wine!" Not believing him, Maria asked, "What about the other time you got drunk?"

Gabriel sighed and shook his head. "I don't even know what I did. I asked my roommates, but they refused to say anything as if they had seen a ghost!"

That was something strange indeed. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Even Zoe remained tight-lipped.

"You're really interesting, Gabriel. Let's have a toast."

James proposed, and the four of them drained their first glass.

Maria also raised her glass generously, a move that was not inferior to that of a man.

Then they drank heartily, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Gabriel's relationships with James and Santos were getting close.

The wine was something strange.

People would forget their worries and age after drinking it.

Now Gabriel and Santos began addressing each other as brothers.

They almost swore to be brothers forever.

Maria had not drunk that much. When she saw that, she had goosebumps.

Gabriel even leaned on her grandfather's shoulder and patted his chest, promising, "Brother, your granddaughter is as precious as my granddaughter to me. Whoever dares to bully her is pursuing a vendetta against me! Come on, brother, cheers!"

Maria grabbed a peanut and threw it at the back of Gabriel's head to vent her anger.

After many rounds of drinking, the three men began to smoke.

Finally, they came to talk about serious matters.

"Santos, the Davis family went too far. How do you plan to counterattack? You can't let them bully you like that, can you?"

Maria was a little tipsy, her face red.

Santos took a few drags silently, his brows furrowed.

Gabriel looked up and said, "Are you worried about the supervision team?"

These words accurately struck a chord with Santos.

He finally nodded and said, "Yes! The supervision team will arrive in Silverwood this Sunday. If we have a fierce conflict with the Davis family, it's very likely that both sides will suffer. It will give the supervision team an opportunity to claim credit!"

He wanted revenge, but he didn't want to get himself into trouble.

Thinking of this, he shifted his gaze and asked Gabriel for advice, "Do you have any good ideas, Gabriel?"

Gabriel was blowing smoke rings. Hearing that, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Now the Adams family only has two choices. One is to confront the Davis family openly in the face of the supervision team, and both sides will at most suffer. But you can vent your anger in this way!

"The other choice is to wait until the supervision team leaves Silverwood before making a decision. This choice has two effects. One, you'll have to endure humiliation for a while. Two, as time goes by, people's memory of the assassination will fade away, and it won't be easy to investigate!" Santos nodded repeatedly, looking pleased.

What Gabriel said was exactly what he had in mind.

Then he liked Gabriel even more, and a wish even flipped through his mind.

His children had been away over the years. Only his granddaughter had been with him, and she was an excellent woman.

If Gabriel could marry Maria, his later years would never be boring.

It would be nice to have a young man to confide in and drink with from time to time.

"But..." Gabriel changed his tone and added, "Brother, if you believe in me, there is another way. I'll go and confront the Davis family, and the Adams family will just need to support me from behind!

"If the Adams family and the Davis family have a direct confrontation, it will be like two people stabbing each other. Both sides will suffer, and the supervision team will benefit from it!

"If I stand in front of the Adams family, the family will just need to hand me the knife. Thus, the Davis family's knife won't be able to reach the Adams family or be effective against me, a poor nobody!

"Then the Davis family will fall in the end!"

Both the Davis family and the Adams family were afraid of the supervision team. After all, the officials also had a share in the darkness. If they conducted an investigation, they would always find something.

But he was different. He had nothing to lose, so he was not afraid of them at all.

Therefore, during the time the supervision team was stationed in Silverwood, the Adams family could hide, and he would go provoke the Davis family instead. Then the team's iron first would only fall on the Davis family.

"Gabriel's plan is a good one!" James was the first to praise Gabriel's plan.

Santos also nodded. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How exactly do you plan to do it?"

Gabriel said, "Stella Turner, the widow from the Davis family, has crucial evidence that can be used to bring the family's downfall. If I can get it, we can give the family a fatal blow!

"From today on, the Adams family will have to openly oppose the Davis family, but only in terms of attitude and stance. You shall stand the moral high ground as the victim of the assassination to suppress the Davis family!

"Before the supervision team arrives in Silverwood, I'll have to get the crucial evidence against the Davis family. On the day the team arrives, I'll personally present the family with a grand gift!"
