Chapter 27 Each with Ulterior Motives
Gabriel Edwards has only one feeling right now.
He's come to the right place.
This Mr. Brooks, no matter how you look at it, seems to be on his side. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Lifting his eyes, sure enough, Michael Davis's face at this moment is gloomy and displeased.
He looks a bit constipated!
"State your intentions, both of you! Fight or reconcile?"
Tyler Brooks asked very seriously finally.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"......"
"......"
Gabriel Edwards and Michael Davis almost spoke in unison.
At this point, there's no chance of reconciliation.
It's either you die, or I live.
"Then fight and fend for yourselves! Just a reminder, fight honorably, only then will you earn my, Tyler Brooks's, approval."
Feeling a headache, Tyler Brooks gave up on mediating.
He doesn't care anymore; he can only judge fairly and try to prevent things from getting too terrible.
Given the circumstances, Gabriel Edwards took the initiative to assure, "Don't worry, Mr. Brooks. I originally thought of going directly to the Davis family mansion and killing them all, since the Davis family is full of weaklings. But since you've spoken, I won't use violence. I'll use legitimate means to crush the Davis family."
"Just you?" Michael Davis sneered, "You're overestimating yourself!"
However, Tyler Brooks raised a hand to interrupt Michael Davis, "Sir Davis, state your intentions as well. Stop letting your grandson engage in kidnappings and such!"
With an annoyed face, Michael Davis eventually compromised, "I know, Mr. Brooks. For my Davis family, eliminating the Foster family and some unidentified people isn't that troublesome. An elephant stepping on an ant can easily crush it."
Back in the day, the Davis family used a small advantage to eliminate the Turner family.
Now in their prime, would they fear a small Foster Family and an unknown guy?
How ridiculous!
"Alright, I've noted down what you've said. I hope you'll keep your word."
Tyler Brooks stood up, with his tone cold, as a final warning.
Standing up meant seeing the guests out.
"Thank you, Mr. Brooks, for today. Now that our discussion is over, we won't disturb your rest."
Gabriel Edwards, knowing they should leave, stood up.
Together with Leon, they bid farewell to Tyler Brooks.
Just as the two were about to leave, Tyler Brooks suddenly spoke with his gaze sharpened, " Gabriel, can you tell me who your father is? Perhaps I know him, and I might have the chance to visit him."
Gabriel Edwards paused for a moment.
Then, squinting his eyes and smiling, he evasively replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Brooks, my father doesn't allow me to reveal his name. Moreover... I believe you and my father probably don't know each other."
He didn't even know who his father was, so how could he tell Tyler Brooks?
But there was one thing he had to grasp.
Mystery!
The more mysterious, the harder it is for others to gauge you.
"Haha, come for tea another time!"
Tyler Brooks maintained his smile and called for his secretary.
He instructed the secretary to see Gabriel Edwards and Leon out.
After Gabriel Edwards and Leon left, Michael Davis finally couldn't hold back, "Mr. Brooks, whose side are you really on? Why do you always seem to favor Gabriel Edwards?"
In fact, it was Michael Davis who had invited Tyler Brooks.
But from their conversation, he felt that Tyler Brooks didn't help him at all.
"You're not young anymore, can you calm down?" Tyler Brooks said impatiently, picking up his teacup, "I'll tell you, the supervision team from Dragon Kingdom is about to come to Silverwood."
"Keep an eye on those troublemakers in your family!"
"If they mess up, no one will be able to help you!"
The main reason he mediated between Gabriel Edwards and Michael Davis was that the supervision team from Dragon Kingdom was about to station in Silverwood.
The supervision team, that's like the emperor's envoy in ancient times.
He's about to retire, and he doesn't want any scandals to tarnish his reputation.
So, at this critical juncture, these two families must calm down for a while.
At the very least, they shouldn't cause any more trouble.
"Therefore, you're just going to let Gabriel Edwards be so arrogant in Silverwood?" Michael Davis couldn't swallow his anger.
Tyler Brooks, with an impatient face, angrily asked, "Do you know Gabriel Edwards's real identity? Behind Apex Bank is the terrifying Ghostly Purgatory Hall. If Gabriel Edwards's identity is extraordinary, your Davis family's power is simply not enough to play against him!"
"But..." Michael Davis hesitated slightly, "Isn't the current Ghostly Purgatory Hall fragmented?"
Tyler Brooks sighed, "A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Better safe than sorry."
"Alright, I'll listen to you, Mr. Brooks."
Although he said that, it was clear that Michael Davis was still harboring anger.
Tyler Brooks's gaze shifted, and a cold light shot from his refined eyes, "Don't be discouraged. As I said, you can't use underhanded methods, but you can use legitimate means to fight against Gabriel Edwards."
"Your prestigious Davis family's Greenland Group, can't you eliminate a small Foster family?"
"Besides, do I have to spell everything out for you?"
"To kill Gabriel Edwards, does your Davis family have to do it yourselves? You should know, the current Ghostly Purgatory Hall is fragmented, and several major forces are waiting to unify the Ghostly Purgatory Hall in the Halloween."
"You just need to spread the words that Gabriel Edwards has a mysterious identity, who is related to the previous Lord of Ghostly Purgatory Hall and covets the position of the Lord."
"If the rumors are spread well, do you even need to lift a finger?"
"The old guys in Ghostly Purgatory Hall will take action to kill Gabriel Edwards!"
After hearing Tyler Brooks's words, Michael Davis felt enlightened.
His tense face finally relaxed.
"Thank you, Mr. Brooks. I know what to do now."
......
......
After leaving the State Assembly, Gabriel Edwards was in high spirits.
No matter what, Tyler Brooks's intervention was beneficial to him.
The open confrontations were just three battles.
In business, he had ten billion in his hands, enough to help the Foster family fight against the Davis family.
In the underworld, the Dragon-slaying Association was nothing in his eyes.
As for politics, as long as he kept his identity a mystery, at the very least, he would remain undefeated.
So, no matter what the battle, he wasn't afraid.
And to defeat the Davis family, he now only needed a breakthrough.
That was to find the Davis family's Achilles' heel.
When the time was right, he would deliver the final blow.
Thinking of this, he said to Leon, "I told you yesterday to help me connect with a heavyweight. Do you have a target?"
Leon replied, "I already have a target. It's a councilor surnamed Adams in Silverwood City. He's from a big family, arguably even more powerful than the Davis family."
"I've always had a good relationship with Mr. Adams. The Adams family had some grievances with the Davis family in the past because of the Turner family."
"So, Mr. Adams is a suitable choice."
"However, Mr. Adams has a peculiar temperament and isn't easy to deal with. Also, he's not currently in Birchwood. Once he returns, I'll take you to see him immediately."
Gabriel Edwards was satisfied and reassured by Leon's actions.
This bearded man, who looked so imposing, was actually quite meticulous.
His gaze sharpened, recalling what Leon had mentioned about the Turner family, and he thought of Stella Turner.
After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "What kind of woman is Stella Turner?"
Leon was taken aback, clearly not expecting Gabriel Edwards to bring up Stella Turner.
Swallowing instinctively, he said, "Mr. Gabriel, this woman is truly dangerous! She has a naturally seductive charm and allure. Any man, with just one glance, would find it hard to control himself."
"Over the years, if it weren't for the protection of the Davis family, this young widow would probably have been taken by some unscrupulous individuals."
Hearing Leon's words, Gabriel Edwards was slightly surprised.
Previously, Thomas Taylor had mentioned how enticing Stella Turner was, but he hadn't taken it seriously.
Now, even Leon, when mentioning Stella Turner, was swallowing hard and praising her.
This made him more and more curious.
"How interesting!" Gabriel Edwards squinted and smiled, "Tell me, if I were to get involved with Stella Turner, would it be like putting a big green hat on the Davis family? After all, the Davis family's company is called the Greenland Group. Quite fitting, isn't it?"
"Uh..." Leon was somewhat speechless, but replied, "Mr. Gabriel, Stella Turner is also a woman with a strong personality and isn't easy to tame. Moreover, the Davis family keeps a very close watch on her, making it difficult for you to approach her."
"Difficult to approach?" Gabriel Edwards scoffed, "Tomorrow night, I'll pay a visit to Stella Turner's chamber. I want to see for myself what the number one beauty in Silverwood, whom all men drool over, really looks like!"
