Chapter 252 Pessimistic Situation
That night, the people from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall kept searching the neighborhood.
There were even two people who knocked on Priscilla's door.
Following Gabriel's instructions, Priscilla intentionally opened the door wearing a police uniform.
As soon as she opened the door, the two people immediately became timid.
They claimed they knocked on the wrong door and hastily left.
Finally, Gabriel managed to survive the night without any trouble.
Priscilla's house was very small with only one room!
Gabriel could only lie on the sofa with his face down and spent the night there.
In a drowsy state of sleep, he heard the sound of Priscilla getting up and washing up.
He looked out the window and saw that it was still dark.
When he took out his phone, he realized it was not even six o'clock yet.
"Miss Weber, why are you up so early?"
Gabriel asked with a yawn.
While busy in the kitchen, Priscilla replied, "The police station is far from here. I have to walk for ten minutes, then take a bus, transfer twice on the subway, and walk for another seven or eight minutes to get there. If I don't wake up early, I won't make it on time!"
Just listening to it, Gabriel felt it was troublesome.
He was about to question why Priscilla didn't rent a place closer, but then he remembered that Priscilla had to monitor Winner Takes All.
He couldn't help but sigh. Although Priscilla was strong and independent, she had a tough life.
After a while, Priscilla brought out two bowls of porridge, two eggs, and two homemade sandwiches. She also took out two boxes of milk from the refrigerator.
She hurriedly ate her portion and instructed Gabriel, "I have to go to work and can't stay here to take care of you. For lunch, there are instant noodles in the fridge. Cook some for yourself. I'll cook dinner when I come back!"
Gabriel was stunned for a moment.
For some reason, he felt a special warmth from this unfamiliar girl.
Although the house was small and quite old, Priscilla had cleaned it up very well.
All the items in the house were neatly arranged. It was small but cozy. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Although the breakfast Priscilla made was simple, it was exquisite.
Ordinary days could be filled with a sense of spiritual abundance.
He smiled slightly and asked, "Other people just buy something to eat on the way to work. Why do you cook for yourself? With this time, I think many people would choose to sleep a bit longer!"
Priscilla ate her meal lightly, chewing slowly.
She replied, "Everyone has their own preferred way of life. As long as I'm at home, I will cook for myself. As for sleeping, when I'm dead, I can sleep forever!"
Originally, Gabriel was quite touched, but her last sentence completely shocked him.
Sleep forever when dead?
It was actually quite reasonable!
Priscilla finished her portion, leaving the other portion for Gabriel.
She quickly washed the dishes and prepared to go to work.
After changing her shoes and taking out the trash, she said to Gabriel before leaving, "You can rest and recover from your injuries at my place these days. When your injuries get better, don't forget what you promised!"
The thing she mentioned naturally referred to Gabriel being an informant!
"Don't worry. I'm a man of my word!" Gabriel narrowed his eyes and smiled. When Priscilla opened the door and was about to leave, he reminded her, "Don't throw the trash in the neighborhood. Take it outside. There's a piece of cloth with bloodstains inside. If the people chasing after me find it, it will be troublesome!"
"Also, buy some gauze from the pharmacy when you come back at night. The wound needs regular dressing!"
"Got it!" Priscilla nodded and left.
The reason why Gabriel was so cautious was that he felt that the people from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall would probably continue searching in the neighborhood for a few more days.
He wanted to recover from his injuries in peace and didn't want to be disturbed...
On this night, Vicky stayed up all night!
She stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the 33-story Fortune Building until sunrise.
Just as the sun rose to her level, several high-level executives of the clan walked in.
They were Lord Water, Crow with a bandage on his chest, and Lord Barbicz!
Looking at the dazzling sunrise, Vicky slowly spoke, "This is the most shameful thing since I debuted!"
"We thought we had carefully planned a fatal blow to Gabriel, but in the end, we realized how ridiculous we were!"
"We failed to kill Gabriel. Crow was seriously injured. Orion and Muddy Water Dragon were killed by Gabriel!"
"Even that despicable woman, Matilda, managed to escape!"
"It's hard to imagine what we have done!"
While wiping his sweat, Lord Water said, "Ms. Barnes, in my opinion, the main reason for our failure is that we underestimated the enemy! Gabriel is much stronger than we expected!"
"And this person is not reckless. He's very smart. He saw through and responded to every move we made to kill him!"
"The most difficult thing to accept is that there are people in the clan who are working for Gabriel. Someone turned off the lights and opened the door. If it weren't for the mole, we wouldn't have
suffered such a defeat!"
"Makes sense!" Vicky suddenly turned around and asked, "Have you found the mole from last night?"
Indeed, if it weren't for the mole, Gabriel might not have been able to escape.
Turning off the lights was crucial.
Otherwise, Gabriel would have been shot to death!
Wiping his sweat, Lord Water said, "I'm sorry, boss. We haven't found out yet. It will take some time!"
"If you're the one investigating this matter, I'm afraid you'll never find out, right?" Crow suddenly said sarcastically.
Lord Water's expression changed. "Crow, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Crow coldly snorted and said, "Last night when Gabriel attacked, he faced you after killing Muddy Water Dragon. Originally, Gabriel had already raised his sword and could have easily killed you. Why did he suddenly retract his sword and end up attacking me?"
Recalling what happened last night made him extremely angry.
Originally, there was no way this attack would hit him.
But for some inexplicable reason, Gabriel had the chance to kill Lord Water but instead attacked Crow. This was something Crow couldn't understand!
No matter how he thought about it, Lord Water seemed like a spy!
"You're spouting nonsense!" Lord Water angrily shouted, "When I came to the Ghostly Purgatory Hall, you were still an egg. How dare you suspect me? What qualifications do you have to suspect me?"
"Then why do you think Gabriel didn't attack you?"
"How the hell would I know? Maybe it's because you look like a scumbag and Gabriel doesn't like you!"
"You impotent b*stard! You're the scumbag!"
"..."
The two high-ranking members of the clan were actually quarreling.
"Shut up!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Vicky angrily yelled.
The two immediately stopped talking and dared not speak again.
Vicky swayed her Goddess-like Buttocks and walked in front of the two.
"Smack, Smack!" She slapped both of them.
"It's a shame that you two, who I trust the most, are embarrassing yourselves with this argument!"
With her imposing manner, Vicky immediately intimidated the two.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Barnes!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Barnes!"
"..."
The two immediately became dejected and apologized with their heads down.
"Now is not the time for internal strife!" Vicky angrily said, "After Matilda returns, the Southern Heaven Association will definitely wage war against us, and with Gabriel, a formidable force hiding in the shadows, the entire clan might be wiped out. Yet you idiots are still arguing!"
Lord Water and Crow remained silent with their heads down.
Vicky paced back and forth and suddenly stopped, saying to Lord Water, "Lord Water, arrange a meeting with Sir Jeff for me. The Jeff family is powerful and secretly supports many strong fighters with terrifying combat power!"
"If we want to win this battle, we can only unite with the Jeff family. Even the King of the Underworld can't be relied on!"
"Let's fulfill that old fox Shawn's wish this time. We will cooperate with him!"
