Awakening the War God

Chapter 30 One Billion

Chapter 30 One Billion

Last night, after a drink and heart-to-heart with Zoe Evans, Gabriel Edwards felt refreshed.

The next day, he seemed like a completely different person.

He looked radiant and was even humming a tune.

After breakfast, he leisurely strolled to North Street.

Atop a ten-plus story building, there was a sign reading "Apex Bank."

The entire building was the office of Apex Bank.

It was also the headquarter of Apex Bank.

It was still more than ten minutes before ten o'clock.

But Thomas Taylor was already waiting at the entrance of Apex Bank.

Thomas Taylor hadn't slept at all the previous night.

All he could think about was money.

One billion!

Gabriel Edwards was going to transfer one billion to him.

Up to now, he still felt dazed.

He was a bit unclear about the situation.

He acknowledged someone as his boss and got a tip of one billion?

This was too extravagant.

"Not bad, you didn't get too drunk last night. Follow me in!"

Gabriel Edwards extinguished the Liggett Select he had half-smoked and threw it into the trash can.

Then, he waved to Thomas Taylor.

This bald thug could even manage not to litter. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Being a good citizen himself, he obviously couldn't fall behind.

The two entered the main hall of Apex Bank together.

A uniformed beauty approached them.

Her name tag was prominently displayed on her chest.

It read "Ms. Martinez."

After Ms. Martinez walked over, she sized up Gabriel Edwards and Thomas Taylor.

Her expression was not friendly.

Bald Thomas Taylor, at first glance, didn't look like a good person.

And Gabriel Edwards, the Adidas shoes he wore were misprinted as "abibas!"

Perhaps they were misprinted during production.

"May I ask what services you two gentlemen need?"

Despite her thoughts, Ms. Martinez still asked with a smile.

That smile looked a bit constipated.

"Oh right, we want to make a transfer!"

Gabriel Edwards said while looking around.

"How much do you want to transfer? If it's below 50,000 yuan, you can use the self-service machine. No need to use the counter!" Ms. Martinez reminded.

Based on her many years of experience as a lobby manager, she believed that even if these two were making a transfer, it would definitely not exceed 50,000 yuan.

"Oh, then I'll have to go to the counter. I want to transfer one billion!"

Gabriel Edwards said, squinting his eyes and speaking indifferently.

"One billion?" Ms. Martinez almost shouted. Her face changed, and she said with some displeasure: "Gentlemen, one billion? Are you joking? Our bank doesn't transfer Zimbabwean dollars!"

After saying that, she immediately turned her head and glanced at the security guard at the door.

Transfer one billion?

A bald guy and another wearing fake shoes, how could they possibly have that much money?

They were clearly here to cause trouble!

"Zimbabwean dollars?"

Gabriel Edwards was taken aback and didn't react immediately.

But the security guards at the entrance were approaching.

One of them shouted at the two, "What business do you two have here? If you have no business, leave!"

Saying that, he reached out to grab Gabriel Edwards.

It was Thomas Taylor's chance to show his worth.

He stepped in front of Gabriel Edwards, pushing away the security guard's hand, "You bunch of shortsighted fools, don't you know who my boss is? Dare to touch him again, and I'll deal with you!"

At this moment, Ms. Martinez was certain that these two were here to cause trouble.

Losing her patience, she waved at the security guards.

The two security guards immediately understood and drew their batons.

As a fight seemed imminent, Gabriel Edwards was still puzzled, muttering, "What the heck is this Zimbabwean dollar?"

At that moment, a voice from afar, Leon's, rang out, "According to the current exchange rate, one billion Zimbabwean dollars can only buy a few pieces of bread! Mr. Gabriel, if all the money in your card were converted to Zimbabwean dollars, I reckon this building even couldn't hold them.''

Leon hurried over, moving swiftly and decisively.

As he approached, everyone on site showed respect.

The two security guards also distanced themselves from Thomas Taylor.

And Ms. Martinez, upon hearing their highest leader, Mr. Leon, address the young man in front of her as "Mr. Gabriel," felt her head buzzing.

Could it be that she was ignorant?

Was "abibas" a super luxurious new brand?

At this moment, she could only tremble in fear and dared not speak.

"Leon, glad you were here, or I would've been embarrassed!" Gabriel Edwards laughed heartily, in a good mood today. He didn't seem to want to make a fuss about Ms. Martinez's mistake. Instead, he teased, "Your staff is very knowledgeable, even familiar with the exchange rate of a small country like Zimbabwe. But do Thomas Taylor and I look like Africans? Haha!"

It was he who had called Leon.

Although, on that Supreme Black-gold Card, there was a hundred billion.

But he was undocumented, without an ID card!

He didn't know how to transfer the money.

Call over Mr. Leon and he should have the ability to handle it.

Thomas Taylor scratched his head, laughing awkwardly on the side.

Poor Ms. Martinez kept her head down, not daring to look up.

Leon was smart and could tell that Gabriel Edwards wasn't angry.

So, he didn't plan to blame Ms. Martinez.

"Mr. Gabriel, please come inside. I'll personally handle your business for you."

Leon ushered Gabriel Edwards and Thomas Taylor into the VIP room.

After serving tea, he said to Gabriel Edwards, "Mr. Gabriel, with your card, you only need the password to make a transfer. However, it must be transferred to an Apex Bank account. If it's to another bank, it'll be a bit more complicated."

"Go on, Mr. Taylor, get a card!"

Gabriel Edwards immediately understood Leon's meaning and said to Thomas Taylor.

This "Mr. Taylor" startled Thomas Taylor.

He felt a chill down his spine.

With an awkward smile on his face, he hurriedly left to get a card.

The one handling the card was Ms. Martinez.

This time, her smile was much more genuine.

After Thomas Taylor left, Leon cautiously asked, "Mr. Gabriel, is this person trustworthy? I had someone investigate him, and he's just a thug. Isn't it risky to transfer one billion to him?"

Gabriel Edwards replied calmly, "Don't worry about that. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't do it. Right now, I need to cultivate some of my own forces, and this bald guy is the best choice at the moment."

Whether it's the Foster family or the power of Apex Bank, neither truly counts as a force that Gabriel Edwards holds in his hands.

Using them, he doesn't feel secure.

He hopes to cultivate his own force. The children he raises himself are the most obedient.

Since Gabriel Edwards said so, Leon didn't dare to question further.

In just a short while, Thomas Taylor had the card ready.

Under Leon's personal supervision, Gabriel Edwards transferred one billion from his card to Thomas Taylor.

After the transfer, he said seriously to Thomas Taylor, "I'm giving you this billion not for you to squander. Within a month, find me a place for a fitness and entertainment club. It must be legitimate and not engage in any shady business."

"Besides that, find me a dozen or so reliable young people, and they need to be tough and aggressive."

"In one month, including you, train well in grappling and combat."

"After a month, you must be able to take on three to five people by yourself."

"At that time, I'll personally test you all. If you don't meet the standard, I'll break your leg!"

Using Thomas Taylor, he plans to set up some businesses of his own.

With him pulling the strings behind the scenes, he's sure to grow like the game "Snake."

Starting small and growing big, becoming a formidable force.

"I understand, Mr. Gabriel. I'll get on it right away. In a month, you can inspect the results!"

Thomas Taylor was also fired up, speaking with determination.

With this billion, the tasks Gabriel Edwards gave him seemed like a piece of cake.

"Get going!"

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed Thomas Taylor.

After chatting with Leon for a while, Gabriel Edwards left.

During this time, Ava Foster kept calling him, urging him to come to the Foster family.

However, Gabriel Edwards kept making excuses.

This made Ava Foster extremely frustrated.

Because tonight, Gabriel Edwards already had a planned destination.

Tonight, he wanted to meet a widow.

That would be Stella Turner, the foremost beauty among the four great beauties of Silverwood!

Around eight o'clock.

Gabriel Edwards arrived at the Davis family mansion.

Looking at the brightly lit mansion, he chuckled, "Tonight, I really want to see what the Davis family's little widow looks like."
