Chapter 128 The Lone Ranger
The construction site of subway No. 6 on Orchard Road was also the excavation site of an ancient tomb.
But at this moment, the periphery of the site was filled with the sound of sirens.
Police officers, soldiers, and Dragon Guards surrounded the site.
There was an air of gravity in front of the command vehicle.
Barry Sullivan, Vito Miller and Tyler Brooks, the top three ranked provincial legislators, together with a number of other Silverwood's top leaders, all came to the scene to take command.
Pacing back and forth, Tyler suddenly stopped and saying to Barry Sullivan, "Mr. Barry, isn't it too childish to let that prisoner Gabriel come?"
Just a moment ago, Barry had agreed to Santos's plan, which was letting Gabriel enter the tomb alone to eliminate the gang of thugs.
This scenario, in his opinion, was just too ridiculous!
Before Barry could say anything, Santos hurriedly said, ''What's wrong with Mr. Brooks? Just let Gabriel give it a try. Even if he fails, there will be no loss. Why not?"
"If he makes it, he will helps us solve the hot potato. You know, Sapphire Peaks is keeping close tabs on us."
"Tell me instead, what's your best way to make the Dragon Guards rush in? Or make a way out and let this gang of thugs leave in a dignified manner?"
At the end of his words, he hummed heavily.
"Mr. Adams, don't make a big deal out of it!" Tyler said tit for tat, "This gang of thugs are completely besieged and only thing they want to do is to escape. As long as we let them go, they won't dare harm the hostages."
"As long as there are no more casualties among the hostages, nothing else matters!"
"After the siege is lifted, we'll blockade Silverwood, or even the entire Birchwood, and then find a way to hunt them down!"
"That is the safest way!"
"These nine thugs come from an world-renowned mercenary army, how can Gabriel eliminate them alone!"
"Isn't this nonsense!"
In fact, Barry wanted to adopt Tyler's strategy at the very beginning, which was giving the thugs a chance to leave.
After all, the safety of the hostages were the most crucial.
Once there was a significant number of casualties, especially the casualties of staff, the higher-ups may hold them accountable.
However, after being the first Senator in Silverwood for so many years, he also thought of taking a step further into Sapphire Peaks to become a capital official.
But he hadn't had much of a chance all along.
If he could figure out ways to eliminate these thugs at the smallest possible cost, it would undoubtedly add to his political achievements.
Therefore, he chose to take the risk and let Gabriel have a try.
"Mr. Brooks, don't hesitate anymore. Let Gabriel give it a try first. If he fails, we'll follow your plan!"
Barry said in a thick voice.
He didn't care at all about the death and freedom of a prisoner.
If this attempt was successful, it would be very beneficial to him.
"Yes, Mr. Barry, you are in charge. We'll listen to you!"
Tyler stopped arguing, because Barry had a greater say than him.
But, obviously, his face was a bit pale.
Just then, a police car drove up and stopped at the cordon.
As car door was opened, and Gabriel got out of the car along with a police officer.
"What a large-scale battle!"
Gabriel let out a sigh when looking at the dense convoy and police officers.
"Eh? Zoe!"
When turning his head, he suddenly realized that Zoe and Blind John were right next to him.
"Gabriel, you will regain freedom today. Congratulations!"
Zoe smiled as she walked over, holding a physics book.
Blind John yawned and followed behind Zoe. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Gabriel was a bit surprised and immediately asked, "Zoe, why are you here?"
Zoe said, "I know that you are going to go to the tomb passage and fight against the Blood Eagle Mercenary, so I came to cheer you on!"
"Their battle power cannot be underestimated. Although you maybe able to win with your current strength, but that would only be a narrow victory."
"In today's battle, you need to achieve an overwhelming victory in order to regain your freedom, so..."
Zoe took the wine bottle from Blind John's hand and handed it to Gabriel, "So I want you to have a drink."
Gabriel took the wine bottle and smiled heartily.
In fact, after experiencing this many times, even if he was stupid, he knew that alcohol could have an impact on his combat power.
Last time, he killed the King of Wheels and the half-human creatures after drinking alcohol.
Although he was not entirely sure what was going on after drinking.
He trusted Zoe.
Thus, he opened the cork without hesitation and tilted his head back to gurgle down.
"Hey hey, just a few sips, don't drink it all!"
John had a pang of heartache for his wine, and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the bottle.
After seizing it, he realized that half of the wine was gone.
His face instantly turned gloomy and he glared viciously at Gabriel.
Gabriel laughed and then felt a bit dizzy.
Gradually, he felt his consciousness and body were completely disconnected.
"Zoe, thank you!"
Suddenly, Gabriel's aura completely changed.
Her eyes looked melancholy and heartbreaking.
"You are heartless. Why do you only thank Zoe after drinking my wine? " John said with a grudge.
"Thank you too, Mr. John!"
Gabriel nodded gently, then said to the two, "It's urgent, so I'm gonna kill them first. And I'll see you guys latter!"
He then followed the police officer through the cordon and walked towards the command car.
Only then did Zoe feel a bit relieved. But she was gazing at Gabriel's departing back with a heavy heart...
Santos stepped forward when seeing Gabriel. He introduced Gabriel to Barry, "Mr. Barry, this is Gabriel!"
Barry looked Gabriel up and down and asked, "Gabriel, this gang of enemies are not ordinary. Do you really make sure that you can eliminate them alone? Once something goes wrong, you'll probably sacrifice yourself inside!"
Gabriel nodded in gentlemanly manner and said calmly, "I won't die, they will. I can guarantee that there will be no more casualties after I enter the tomb!"
Tyler actually sneered at Gabriel confidence.
Barry, however, said with satisfaction, "Well. I'll allow you to give it a try!"
Obviously, Gabriel was extraordinary.
"Even if Gabriel died after the mission failed, it was still a sacrifice that Gabriel willingly made. So he won't be held accountable," Barry thought.
This was a trial that he didn't have to be responsible for, so it is worth trying.
Gabriel said, "Of course, according to what Mr. Adams told me, Mr. Sullivan needs to make sure I regain my freedom after eliminating this gang of thugs."
Gabriel had to be confirmed, because these higher-ups sometimes broke their promise.
Barry promised, "Don't worry about that. I promise you in front of Mr. Vito, Mr. Brooks, and Mr. Adams: as long as you successfully eliminate them, you'll be released from the detention center immediately, and you won't be held accountable for manslaughter."
Receiving this reply, Gabriel was satisfied.
He glanced at Tyler, who had a blue face, and said, "I'll go into tomb. You guys just wait for my good news."
After saying that, he walked towards the ancient tomb in a dignified manner.
Barry said with a puzzled expression, "Gabriel, don't you need to bring a weapon? The firearms and equipment of the soldiers, Dragon Guards, and police officers here are at your disposal!"
The thugs were armed with firearms. If Gabriel went in unarmed, he was committing suicide.
Gabriel paused, nodded and muttered, "Indeed, I should take one weapon!"
He looked around, then he picked up a thirty centimeter steel bar from the ground.
He bounced in his hand, feeling heavy.
"It's you!"
Gabriel smiled with satisfaction.
Then, under the stunned gazes of Barry and the others, he carried the steel bar in his right hand and jumped down to the tomb ......
