Awakening the War God novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Ghostly Purgatory Hall

"Goddess of Wind?" Gabriel was at a loss for words and just wanted to curse.

"I don't have time to joke with you. Just hang up if there's nothing else! If you're the Goddess of Wind, then I must be the King of Hell!"

There should be a limit to joking around.

He believed that there was nothing to joke about in the safe in the Bennett Trust.

But the address of the Goddess of Wind was just too ridiculous.

"In three hours, I'll treat you to Soup of Forgetfulness at Spring Teahouse on Rosemont Street in Silverwood!"

The woman on the other end smiled gently and then hung up the phone.

"Soup of Forgetfulness?"

Gabriel smiled bitterly.

Could it be that his amnesia was caused by drinking Soup of Forgetfulness?

That would be absurd.

But regardless, he had to meet the Goddess of Wind!

He wanted to see whether she was a human or a ghost.

Time flew by.

Three hours later, Gabriel finished a plate of pasta on Rosemont Street.

With a full stomach, he leisurely walked to aid digestion.

Finally, he saw Spring Teahouse.

The simple wooden door had nothing special about it.

"Clang..."

He lightly knocked on the door handle with his right hand, and the door opened.

A beautiful Arab girl peeped out her head.

After sizing up Gabriel, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Um..." Gabriel hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'm looking for the Goddess of Wind!"

He felt a bit silly saying that.

But the Arab girl didn't mock him at all.

Instead, she opened the door and made a gesture of invitation. "Please follow me!"

Gabriel followed behind the girl and entered the courtyard.

In his heart, he wondered if the Goddess of Wind really existed.

It was just an ordinary courtyard with bamboo growing.

Gabriel was led into a tea room on the second floor.

"Please wait here!"

The Arab girl poured a cup of tea for Gabriel and exited the room.

Gabriel sat in front of the tea table, feeling somewhat perplexed.

What was going on? Why did she leave him alone here?

About five minutes later, the door opened again.

A man and a woman entered the room.

The man had half-white hair and a large mustache.

His eyes were fierce, and he was imposing.

As for the woman, she was wearing a red gown and had an exquisite appearance.

At first glance, Gabriel couldn't help but open his mouth slightly wide. He was amazed by her beauty.

Her skin was as smooth, and her figure was graceful.

Underneath her simple makeup, her face was flawless.

She had long, black curly hair that cascaded down her shoulders, exuding an elegant classical charm.

However, her eyes were narrow and seductive, captivating one's soul.

In addition, there was an intoxicating fragrance about her that drove people crazy.

"Are you... the Goddess of Wind?" Gabriel asked.

He seemed to be possessed, and his eyes were fixated on the woman, unable to look away.

This woman was simply too beautiful.

She was the most stunning woman he had ever seen in the past three years, aside from those actresses on television.

The woman smiled elegantly and approached Gabriel with a leisurely step.

The man with the mustache followed behind.

Then, to Gabriel's astonishment, something incredible happened.

"I am the Goddess of Wind, and my real name is Elizabeth. I pay my respects to you, my Lord!"

"I am the Demon Enforcer, Leopard Tail. My real name is Leon. I pay my respects to you, my Lord!"

Both of them knelt down and bowed to Gabriel.

At that moment, Gabriel was completely dumbfounded.

What on earth was going on?

The Goddess of Wind, the Demon Enforcer?

He walked over to the window and pushed it open.

Looking at the crowd on the street and the cars, he finally regained his composure.

He hadn't time-traveled, and he was still in modern times!

Glancing at the two kneeling people, he waved his hand and said, "Both of you, get up and come sit. Tell me what's going on."

"Thank you, Lord!"

They stood up one after the other and sat across from Gabriel.

After sitting down, Elizabeth smiled gently and said softly, "I suppose you haven't understood everything. Our organization is called the Ghostly Purgatory Hall. Five years ago, the previous Lord, Ghostly King, passed away unluckily. Before his death, he specifically instructed that after five years, someone would appear with the Ghostly ID card. At that time, we were to recognize this person as the new Lord and address him as the new Ghostly King."

"Is the Ghostly ID card this one?"

Upon hearing Elizabeth's words, Gabriel took out the skeleton card from his pocket.

Both Elizabeth and Leon's expressions changed dramatically when they saw the card, and their faces were filled with awe.

Gabriel gulped down a cup of hot tea and stood up.

Then, he paced around the room.

The information was a bit overwhelming, and he wanted some quiet time to process it.

Elizabeth and Leon remained silent.

They knew that these things were too unbelievable and Gabriel needed time to digest them.

After about half an hour, Gabriel stopped walking.

He returned to the tea table and sat down.

"I'll accept what you've said for now!" He said with narrowed eyes.

After thinking it through, no matter what, he had to accept these things.

Firstly, it was for his own identity.

Without a doubt, he had some connection with the Ghostly Purgatory Hall.

Otherwise, the former Ghostly King would never pass on the position of Lord to him.

There wouldn't be anything related to the Ghostly Purgatory Hall in his memory.

To figure out who he was, he could only get involved with the Ghostly Purgatory Hall.

Secondly, it was for money!

He could get 10 billion dollars and even command Elizabeth, this beautiful woman, and some of the forces of Apex Bank. It was an unimaginable good thing for him.

In this way, he could also provide the best treatment for Zoe.

After all, with money in place, there would definitely be no shortage of medicine.

"That's great! Leon and I are on your call at any time!" Elizabeth said excitedly.

She had always been loyal to the Ghostly Purgatory Hall. Without the Lord, the Ghostly Purgatory Hall had been in disarray for many years.

She only hoped that the plans of the previous Ghostly King could revive the Ghostly Purgatory Hall.

"For now, let's put aside other matters!" Gabriel suddenly asked, "I have a question for you. Do you have any hotel business in Silverwood?"

Elizabeth looked at Leon. After all, Leon was in charge of the business in Silverwood.

Leon replied, "We are planning to invest in the construction of two top-notch five-star hotels by the Catalyst River in Silverwood. The estimated investment is a billion dollars, and we are seeking partners!"

"Good!" Gabriel squinted his eyes and said, "Listen to my command. Let the Foster family get these two five-star hotels!"

The reason for suddenly making this request was to conduct an experiment.

Because he still felt unreal, always feeling like he was dreaming.

If his words could determine a billion-dollar investment from Apex Bank, he had to believe it even if he didn't want to.

Coincidentally, it could help Ava.

He could completely pay off the debt of taking her virginity.

"The Foster family?" Leon lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow someone from the Foster family is having a birthday and hosting a birthday banquet, and they have also invited me. They have been wanting to cooperate with me before, but I didn't agree!"

"That's the Foster family!" Gabriel delightedly said, "Tomorrow you should also attend the banquet. Let's have some fun with the Foster family and meet the Davis family!"

With Leon, the president of the head office of Apex Bank in Birchwood, as a backing, he could challenge James.

James was lawless, drugging and even kidnapping Ava. He really wanted to know how powerful James was.....
