The gunshot was fired before the pillow hit the gun.Both Elvis and Zuri thought that the bullet hit Gabe, but it missed and hit the wall in the background.Gabe’s heart raced like never before. Was this the first time he ever got shot at? He managed to dodge the bullet in time, but what would have happened if he wasn’t capable of doing so?Before he knew it, he emotionally leaped across the room. It was like watching the best long jumper in the world take a leap. Gabe’s foot rocketed toward Elvis’ chest.Elvis rolled the side as fast as he could.Gabe’s foot struck the couch and flipped it over.Elvis immediately started shooting at Gabe, but he had already hid himself behind the couch and then threw it up at Elvis, shocking him. A couch weighing close to 300 pounds was just thrown like that.Elvis’ mind didn’t think of anything but escaping. And he managed to duck and slide forward on his knees. The couch barely missed him, but Elvis was no longer bothered about the couch. He pointe

Gabe returned home in the morning before Nicole left for the job. She was glad to see him doing okay. Since he had changed his clothes before coming, she didn’t see any blood on him. Nevertheless, she told him that she had filed a complaint to the police about the car being stolen by the Snake gang, and so he should just wait for the time being.Gabe thought this was a good thing because if there was a complaint filed directly on the Snake gang, then they shouldn’t be able to harass his aunt blatantly, especially not after Gabe almost brought one of their six zones managed by them to ruin.“I wasn’t expecting the police to register the complaint, Aunt. Just how did you convince them?” Gabe curiously asked her.“Actually…” Nicole awkwardly laughed. “I called the chairman of Tuna Waves and asked for his help.”“Oh, Russell called the police, huh…” Gabe was pleasantly surprised. “No wonder the police took some action, though I doubt they’ll actually pay a visit to the gang.”“Yeah. Russe

In the northern part of the city, the bosses of the Snake gang were all gathering because of the recent things that had forced the newspapers to talk about the gang, so the bosses had to meet to discuss and lay low for the time being.Nevertheless, most of them criticized Elvis for losing.“Isn’t he a commoner? He doesn’t even seem to have a history of learning martial arts. How could you lose to such a guy?” one of the bosses, Ray, harrumphed. “Pathetic performance, I must say.”Elvis wasn’t ashamed of his loss. “You didn’t see him fight. That’s why you’re talking shit now.”“So, he’s a tiger cub then,” the snake-haired brunette wearing red lenses licked her lips. “I wonder if he can withstand my bite.” She was Medusa, the boss of Rose Street, and she was known to kidnap and enslave men that were to her liking. She was arrested over a dozen times, and there were times when she harassed even the police officers, forcing them to let her go. She was perceived as a crazy woman. Her nickn

After the match finished, Gabe quickly told Rica to give his reward in the form of cash. She told him it would take a few more minutes to arrange the money. He agreed to it.Because there was a long procedure to it, Rica had to take Gabe along with her.“You did well,” Rica went out of her way to praise him. “When you started receiving hits, I thought maybe you haven’t recovered fully, but then you proved me wrong. It was a complete victory. I’m sure that the governor will start putting you through more interesting matches.”“I don’t think so,” Gabe told her about the little skirmish he had with the governor. “I think he’s going to look for every opportunity to make me pay.”“Haha,” Rica, however, laughed it off. “You don’t know the governor. That’s why you are thinking like this.”Gabe blinked twice. “What do you mean?”“He brought a rising star from another country because he believes in your capabilities,” Rica said. “After all, if you were to lose in this fight, our city, our gove

The big, fatty crocodile came diving like a king at a great speed with no fear whatsoever. It probably killed at least a human or two in the past. Now, it wanted more.Even though the crocodile made little to no sound, Gabe sensed a thick trace of presence in his mind. Not only that, but the faint low growl of the crocodile also somehow rang in his mind. This happened before even Systa alerted him. He didn’t know that it was actually a crocodile until Systa warned him.[A crocodile is coming from two o’clock! It’s a rather big one.] Systa yelled in haste. [Get to the surface! Now!]All the concentration Gabe had went ‘poof.’Not only did he open his eyes and mouth, he began to rush to the surface in a hurry. Just as he reached the surface, the crocodile also reached him. It was so big that Gabe could see its head coming out of the waters just at the last second. He didn’t need Systa to tell him what to do. When death came calling in the form of a dreadful crocodile, his body automatic
