Chapter 289 The MP4 yer Broke
It was truly a headache.
The message about Chewing Gum seemed more like a joke than a code.
After reading it over and over, Gabriel still couldn''t make heads or tails of it.
It didn''t seem real no matter what.
After much deliberation, he decided to follow Zoe''s deduction method and had put forward two
possible theories.
The first was that the paper Shawn had handed him was simply a fake.
This could exin why Shawn was so nonchnt about revealing it.
Gabriel couldn''t help but feel that Shawn was cing excessive trust in him. But if it was indeed a
hoax, that would mean Shawn was underestimating him.
What puzzled him was why, if this was a deception, didn''t Shawn provide something more
convincing?
The second theory was that the paper was genuine, but Shawn was as clueless about its contents
as he was.
In this case, Shawn might have shared it with Gabriel, believing that two heads were better than
one in trying to decipher the enigmatic message.
Such spection did make sense!
A headache, indeed. Gabriel couldn''t figure out which assumption was correct; he couldn''t confirm
which one was true. It seemed that to unravel the truth behind the information on the paper, he
needed Zoe to decipher it.
If Zoe couldn''t crack it, then it was undoubtedly false.
Collecting his thoughts, he stood up, smiled with narrowed eyes, and said, "Mr. Jeff, from now on,
we''re in a partnership. I believe, in the near future, the entire Gumoldur City will be ours!"
Whether it was true or false, he decided to treat it as a stepping stone today.
Firstly, it postponed the confrontation to ater time.
Secondly, it allowed him to perform this act with Shawn, stirring the waters of Gumoldur City a bit
more.
"Cheers to our sessful coboration!"
Shawnughed, stood up, and shook hands with Gabriel.
Then, both of them walked out of the private room. They maintained a hostile look towards each
other, a silent agreement.
"Bring these useless people back!"
Shawn waved his hand, and with the help of the police officers brought by Leonard and the
unharmed Jeff family members, the injured individuals were escorted out of the bar.
Meanwhile, Sansa, puzzled by the situation, swiftly departed the scene with her son Tim.
They knew it was evident that whatever negotiations took ce between Gabriel and Shawn had
resulted in apromise. Their safety appeared to be assured.
Once all members of the Jeff family had left, Gabriel turned to Thomas. "I''m sorry for this, Tom. You
came here for a visit, and it''s unfortunate that you ended in a hospital bed."
Taking a short break, Thomas regained some of his strength and scratched his head. "No worries.
Sometimes letting out a bit of blood is good for the body."
Gabriel chuckled and said, "Haha, alright, roll into the hospital with wounded brothers!"
It was heartening to see Thomas determination.
A real man shouldn''t fear pain or shedding blood.
A man who is apprehensive about such things is unmanly.
Subsequently, with the help of his Qinxi brothers, Thomas and the injured men were taken to the
hospital.
Gabriel called Matilda, who promptly sent someone to handle their matters at the hospital.
Over the phone, Matilda informed Gabriel that their operations in the other two territories were
proceeding as nned.
In the Enjoyable Bath, Matilda herself led an elite team from the Southern Heaven Association,
decimating the remnants of the Crow n and forcing Crow, who had personally arrived, to flee in
disarray after a confrontation that left him injured.
However, at the Heaven Sent Club, the situation was drastically different.
Lord Water, apanied by Fat Boy and several subordinates from Ghostly Purgatory Hall, had
originally nned to engage in a fierce battle with the Southern Heaven Association''s forces.
However, to their surprise, Sebastian Nash, one of the four managers left behind at the Heaven
Sent Club, weed Lord Water and voluntarily offered to cede their territory.
Lord Water was overjoyed to receive the territory and had Fat Boy arrange for his subordinates to
take control of the Heaven Sent Club.
As he left, Sebastian personally apanied him.
The two of them had a pleasant conversation, and their faces were filled with smiles. In the end,
they shook hands and bid each other farewell.
As for the other territories of the Southern Heaven Association, they were all empty.
The members of Ghostly Purgatory Hall made a menacing show of smashing things up but failed to
find anyone.
This situation led everyone to believe that the Southern Heaven Association''s days were numbered.
Everything was proceeding ording to Gabriel''s previous arrangements. He ended the call with
Matilda and lit a cigarette, pondering the affairs of Gumoldur City.
"Damn, my song!"
He suddenly remembered the song he had heard on the MP4 yer and immediately went to find
the male server who had given it to him.
The male server, though injured, had not gone to the hospital and was resting against a wall.
"Not bad, you have a sense of loyalty and courage. What''s your name?" Gabriel walked up to the
male server, evaluated him, and asked with a smile.
The male server was covered in blood but had a resolute and unyielding look in his eyes, a
remarkable man.
Earlier at the bar, only this male server was unafraid of the Jeff family and protected Kitty.
It was clear that this man was a loyal and courageous man.
"I''m Garry Willock!" the man replied.
He realized that Gabriel held extraordinary status and had witnessed Gabriel''s formidablebat
power, causing him to instinctively stand up straight and be more respectful.

Gabriel nodded and patted Garry on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "You''re covered in blood.
Why didn''t you go to the hospital with the others?"
Garry shook his head and said, "Most of the blood on me is from others, and my own injuries are
not serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital."
Gabriel was quite satisfied with Garry''s response.
Just like Thomas, he was another rare find.
He silentlymended him and said, "Well done! By the way, where are the MP4 yer and
earphones that I gave you?"
He had given the earphones, which were actuallyrge over-ear headphones, to Garry to safeguard
temporarily, fearing that they might get damaged during the fight.
At a nce, he set his eyes on Garry, the one who was protecting Kitty.
Inside the MP4 yer, there was a song that could open the fourth Memory Gate of Gabriel, and he
needed to get it back to listen to it again.
He''d like to see if tonight he could open the gate.
"Um..." Garry froze for a moment, and turned back to look for it in anxiety, his face suddenly turning
pale.
The table where the MP4 yer had been ced earlier had been knocked over, and the MP4
yer and earphones were nowhere to be found.
"It was right here just now!" Garrymented.
He crawled on the ground to search and found the MP4 yer had fallen under the table.
Fortunately, it was still there, not lost.
He snatched the MP4 yer back, heaving a deep sigh of relief.
Just as he was secretly relieved, when he picked up the yer, he wore a face full of
embarrassment.
The headphones were broken, and the yer seemed to have been stepped on and shattered by
someone.
"You..."
Gabriel had just praised Garry and now had a negative impression of him.
"Damn, it''s all broken. Can it still be yed?" He was utterly exasperated and rolled his eyes at
Garry.
Garry was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly exined, "Mr. Gabriel, I thought I would go help
out upstairs, so I left my things here temporarily. I didn''t expect..."
Kitty had been mistreated so badly, making him seethe with anger.
He had lost his temper and gone out to fight, carelessly leaving his belongings on the table.
"Alright, that''s enough, don''t say anything more."
Gabriel couldn''t help but feel a headacheing on.
The MP4 yer was now unyable, and he didn''t even know the name of the song.
Kitty was in the hospital, and it was toote to ask now.
It seemed that he wouldn''t be able to listen to that song tonight and potentially unlock the fourth
Memory Gate.
There was nothing he could do; he would have to wait.
At least Kitty wasn''t in any life-threatening danger, and he could ask her for the song''s nameter.
He put away the shattered MP4 yer, hoping that he might be able to repair it.
Once it was fixed, he''d have to return it to Kitty.
Feeling somewhat down, he left the bar and hailed a taxi to return to the Wallick family vi.
