Chapter 221 Shooting a Cannon at a Fly

"When did you first meet Blunt Knife?" Gabriel asked.

After thinking for a moment, Blind John replied, "Seven or eight years ago. You know that I've retired from the martial world for a long time."

Gabriel felt a little disappointed. Although Blind John knew Blunt Knife, he couldn't be of much help.

He explained, "This woman is Blunt Knife's lover, and her name is Red Spider. She's skilled in poison. You saw the poisoning incident just now, which was done by her."

"By the way, John, I have to trouble you to protect Zoe. I'm afraid that Blunt Knife and Red Spider will strike again."

"After it's all over, I'll give you a lifetime super VIP card at my club. You even enjoy the services here for free. How about that?"

"Deal!" Blind John was overjoyed.

With this super VIP card, anything was worth it.

Gabriel cursed inwardly because he had been fooled by this old fellow.

John had just complained about the services in the club. Now his thoughts were exposed.

That night, nothing else happened at the club.

Early the next morning, a beautiful stage was set up at the entrance of the club.

A red carpet was laid out for tens of meters, and baskets of flowers were placed along the path.

Crackling firecrackers echoed through the entire street.

On the stage, a group of gorgeous girls began their dance performance.

Gabriel dressed up in a suit, which was rare for him.

His good figure could fit into all kinds of clothes.

The suit made him look stylish, and his temperament was enhanced a lot.

Coupled with his handsome appearance that could rival that of James Bond, he was like a big star.

Ava turned into a fangirl.

She followed him like a shadow.

Every time she saw his profile, she felt like she was going crazy.

"So handsome!"

Her only thought now was to have a baby for him.

Because the girls had stayed at the club last night, Gabriel sent Maria and Mia to buy several sets of dresses.

This morning, all the girls were dressed in their finest attire.

When they stood there, they outclassed all the tall and slim female attendants in dresses.

Even the female stars at award ceremonies might not be as gorgeous as them.

But what surprised Gabriel the most was Zoe.

He thought that Zoe didn't like noisy places and extravagant clothes.

But today, she wore a white floor-length dress.

With her strong aura, delicate features, and pure temperament, she outshone all the other girls.

After dressing up, Zoe was stunning.

Gabriel's reputation in Silverwood was too great now.

To say that he was omnipotent was not an exaggeration.

People from all walks of life came to celebrate the opening of the club.

Soon, the road outside the club was filled with various luxury cars.

The onlookers widened their eyes and were curious about who had such great power to cause such a commotion during the opening.

Many leaders of the underworld, officials from the Silverwood assembly, and business tycoons were invited.

Even those who did not receive invitations dropped by.

Gabriel let Thomas receive most of the guests. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Only a few political bigwigs were personally received by him.

Just then, a city management vehicle and a police car parked nearby.

These two law-enforcement vehicles from different systems stopped at the same time.

Roy Carter, captain of the city management team, and Philip Reed, captain of the traffic police, walked up imposingly.

Roy pointed at Thomas and others who were receiving guests, shouting, "Who is in charge here? Don't you know fireworks are prohibited in Silverwood City? And who approved your stage construction here? Do you have the papers?"

Philip also shouted, "Look at your entrance. It's so congested that there's a kilometer-long line behind it. Your opening cannot affect others. If these cars keep blocking the road, don't blame me for towing them away."

Faced with the two law enforcement officers who came aggressively, Thomas scratched his head and looked unhappy.

He couldn't believe that two small potatoes came to cause trouble.

He was about to get angry when Gabriel came over and stopped him.

Gabriel smiled and handed them cigarettes. "Sirs, please do us a favor. Today is the opening of our shop, and there are so many guests here."

Roy took the cigarette, still with a serious face. "You know how to talk nicely. I am in charge of this area as the captain of the city management team, and your shop is under my jurisdiction. Don't you guys know the rules? You should have reported your opening."

"What should we do now? It's our first opening, so I don't know," Gabriel explained with a smile.

"This is Captain Philip of the traffic police team!" After introducing Philip, Roy suddenly lowered his voice. "According to the rules, if you pay a fine of 15 thousand dollars, you can continue to operate as normal. If anyone complains about you setting off fireworks, it doesn't matter. After your opening ceremony, I'll get someone to clean up the entrance for you."

"Captain Philip will also assign several people to smooth traffic and ensure that this road is unobstructed."

"With such a large storefront, it's worth spending money to make it convenient."

Just then, two cars stopped. Barry, Santos, and others got out and walked over.

Seeing these people, Gabriel laughed. "Captain Roy is very skilled in his business. But isn't 15 thousand dollars a bit too much?"

Unaware that Barry and others were approaching, Roy pulled a long face and sulked, "I'm giving you a good deal here. Every business on this street has to pay. You're a smart person, and paying us for convenience is worth it."

"Don't make things difficult for yourself. Otherwise, not only will your opening today be troublesome, but the cars of your customers will be towed. It will be a mess."

Unable to hold back any longer, Gabriel asked Barry, "Mr. Sullivan, should I give them the money or not?"

Barry should take a good look at the quality of grassroots law enforcement personnel.

"I see that you don't want to save face. Mr. Sullivan? Who are you talking about?"

Roy snorted and looked back.

When he saw Barry and Santos, he was immediately stunned.

His eyes widened, and his voice trembled. "Sirs... Good morning."

These were all important figures.

He recognized all these people, but he had only seen them on TV.

With his rank, he was unable to meet these people.

In an instant, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This was bad.

Besides him, Philip was too scared to speak.

The two captains had the guts to ask the senator for money. They were finished.

Gabriel smiled and said to Roy, "Captain Roy, are you still collecting? If you are, I'll have someone get the money right away."

"No, we're not." Roy shook his head repeatedly.

Dissatisfied, Barry snorted and grumbled, "I never expected that in Silverwood, the provincial capital of Birchwood and my jurisdiction, there would be a group of corrupt parasites like you who illegally collect fees."

"You and your people wait here. After the opening ceremony is over, you will personally lead your team to clean up."

"And you, a traffic police officer, want to make a quick buck off someone else's opening. Have you lost your mind?"

"Call your superiors right now. Tell them that you will block this road under my order. No vehicle other than those attending the celebration is allowed in."

"If you can't handle these two small matters well, I won't spare you."

The chief senator of Birchwood scolded the captain of the city management team and the captain of the traffic police on the street.

This bizarre scene happened on the day of the club's grand opening.

Gabriel bitterly smiled and shook his head, feeling like he had used a cannon to kill a fly.

This was Thomas' fault.

When exchanging greetings, he must have only greeted the important figures and ignored the small potatoes.
