CHAPTER 271
“Pass? For what?” Gabe didn’t get what he was talking about. “Open the wrapper, and you’ll know it,” Rica said. “Mm?” Gabe opened the candy wrap and found a gold-coated chocolate inside. “Is this a gold ball?” He picked it up. “No. It doesn’t weigh heavy.” “It’s edible,” Alexander said. “You can eat it.” Gabe hesitantly put it in his mouth, and the chocolate melted very quickly, and the taste was very good. “This flavor… was the first milk used in making this chocolate.” “Hoh… to think you were able to deduce that in a few seconds…” Alexander was impressed. “I guess you’re talented in not just fighting but in more departments.” “Mm?” As Gabe swallowed the chocolate juices down his throat, he felt a slight surge of power that worked his muscles up a bit and made him sweat. He could tell that it wasn’t just some ordinary chocolate, but he didn’t say anything about it. After all, he felt a little better now. “How are you feeling?” Rica asked. “Did you sense any changes?” Gabe slow

CHAPTER 272
Both Systa and Ulf were walking next to Gabe while eating icecreams. They looked like little children. While Systa was slowly licking the ice cream, Ulf was chomping on it.“Do you think he really didn’t notice that I have a system?” Gabe asked.[Yeah. I’m a hundred percent sure!] Systa told him. [I and Ulf were hibernating throughout, so there’s no way he would have sensed anything abnormal.]“But he was looking at me a bit differently,” Gabe wondered.{Maybe, it’s because you’re cross-eyed that you felt his gaze being abnormal?} Ulf opined.Gabe angrily grinned. “You’re purposely teasing me, aren’t you? I was very much shaking inside throughout the time I was talking with the father and the daughter. The last thing I wanted was to fight them there.”Because Systa had told him that both Rica and her dad were strong, he obviously didn’t want to fight them in a restaurant owned by Rica’s uncle. Who knew just how much of a reinforcement they would have got had he started fighting them?

CHAPTER 273
Gabe and Zack were in a rented car, with Gabe in the driving seat, giving a rather cold glance at Zack through the rear-view mirror.“I’m telling you the truth,” Zack spoke through the pain. “I didn’t tell them anything. Why don’t you believe me? Urgh, and take me to the hospital. I can’t bear this burning pain in my thighs!”Zack actually wanted to kill the masked guard, but Gabe didn’t let him, not wanting to unnecessarily make Alexander angry.“I won’t believe anything you say,” Gabe coldly breathed out words. “The only reason you probably didn’t leak them information was because you were afraid that they might kill you afterward, right?”Zack’s heart skipped for a second, but his expression didn’t change.“I’ll take the silence as a yes,” Gabe added. “This makes me wonder what you would do if a situation arises when you have to rescue your wife at the cost of your own life. I’m now sure you’ll run away.”“Don’t say nonsense just because I’m listening,” Zack snarled. “I love Kiera.

CHAPTER 274
Gabe returned home and was still feeling anxious as he wondered if the smart system had told Alexander about him or not.To add to his stress, he only saw two oranges left in the kitchen. “W-Where did the rest of the oranges go?”Nicole wasn’t home, so he didn’t have anybody to answer that question.He ate one orange and left the second one on Nicole’s bed before walking out of the house. “If there were more oranges, I would have taken some to the orphanage, but… I don’t think that man will just give me more oranges if I go to that Sterling villa, right?”[Let’s not test that man’s generosity.] Systa advised. [But I think that you should keep the seeds and plant them in the park. I’m sure when they grow and bear fruit, the children in the neighborhood would love to eat them.]Gabe liked the idea. “You should have told me this sooner. Now, we only have one orange left.”[No, Gabe. You weren’t paying attention. Your aunt has already put some of those seeds on the rooftop so they’d dry u

CHAPTER 275
Gabe came to the park to spend the night there. It was peaceful until he felt a shadow prowling in the darkness, slowly closing in on him.“Come on out,” Gabe said.“Your senses are pretty sharp as well,” Nick stepped out into the moonlight. His eyes glowed red.Gabe, however, didn’t look surprised. He was still lying on the grass, as if he wasn’t intimidated by this person’s arrival.“You don’t look surprised. Were you perhaps expecting me?” Nick asked.“I don’t have the mood to talk with you, so state your reason for coming here,” Gabe was straightforward.Nick smiled and sat down on a bench that was about ten feet away from Gabe. He put one leg on top of another as if to show his confidence. “This is a pretty decent park. You wouldn’t want this to be seized by court, do you?”Gabe’s expression didn’t change.“The distance between your home and Tuna Waves isn’t small,” Nick added. “A lot of things can happen during such a long trip.”Gabe’s jaw hardened. “Keep at it, and you’ll die

CHAPTER 276
Many questions flooded through Gabe’s mind as he was told to kill the child who barely looked two to three years old. When did they kidnap him? Was it before Gabe entered this building or after? If it was before, then where were they keeping him in the building? How many more children were there in this building? All these thoughts only added to Gabe’s rising heartbeat and tension. “Do it, Gabriel,” the grandmaster uttered with a hint of pressure in his voice. “Didn’t you eat chicken and beef before? You’ve already taken many lives indirectly, so this is nothing special.” “If it’s nothing special, then why do we have to make this sacrifice?” Gabe asked him back. “This is what our god wants,” the grandmaster said, with his hands placed on his crotch. “We eat chicken and beef every week, but we still consider meat as special, don’t we? This is also the same. Sacrifices like these happen all the time, but they’re still considered special. Don’t think too much about it and put the kni

CHAPTER 277
Gabe got home as fast as he could, and he was utterly relieved to hear Nicole humming in the bathroom.He then sent Systa to watch over Mia’s house.Systa happily went and sat on the perimeter wall of the house. She was sitting in the shadows so that people wouldn’t be able to see her.William just happened to come out to smoke a cigar. He kept looking at the house across the street. “Why isn’t that woman showing her face these days? I can’t tell whether she’s interested in me or not. But I’m sure she should be bored because her husband spends time in the military. If I can find the chance to enter her house at least once, I’m definitely going to make it count.” He started to circle around the house and ended up seeing a figure sitting on the wall. It wasn’t big enough for it to be a human, so he thought it was a monkey. “SHUU!” he waved his hand, but then he heard a giggle. It was a child’s voice, but it felt like the giggling of a little ghost, and it suddenly sent a chill down Will

CHAPTER 278
“Whoever hit you got you completely and utterly good,” Brendon Carillo, the mayor’s son, was laughing as Bart was receiving injections by a beautiful nurse to ease his pain. “Why do you not want to tell me who did it? Do you think I won’t help you? I gave jobs to your family members, so I can surely beat the crap out of whoever did this to you, and then bring him to your feet.”Bart didn’t say anything. He felt that Brendon was willing to help him not out of friendship but probably for some other reason. After all, Bart had taken money from Brendon’s dad, and so Brendon hired a nurse to take care of Bart so that he would quickly recover.“By the way, did I tell you that my dad is opening a five-star hotel in two days?” Brendon said, grabbing the nurse’s hand as she was walking away. He pulled her and made her sit on his lap. He kissed her on her shoulder and back, making her blush. “I’m going to invite your family . They can eat and drink to their heart’s content.”Bart looked at Bren

CHAPTER 279
Zuri’s face and especially her eyes cooked with horror. Clearly, Nick had put her through a lot of pain before killing her.Just thinking about it twisted Gabe’s guts.He had told Zuri to leave as this place wouldn’t be safe for her after she left the snake gang, but Zuri didn’t listen to him.And the thought of leaving some protection for Zuri never came to Gabe’s mind, and he felt guilty for that.He couldn’t even say sorry because he knew that a mere apology wouldn’t cover anything.Gabe then noticed that there was a piece of paper stuck to the metal pole right underneath Zuri’s head.There were a few words written on it: Do you feel bad that you lost your little slut? Then, you’re going to feel so much more bad soon because you’ll be losing everyone and everything you cherish… even your own life.Gabe’s veins flooded with rage. Electricity released out of his hand and utterly burnt the paper into crisp.Gabe closed Zuri’s eyes and promised her, “I’ll kill that bastard in the most

CHAPTER 280
Many years ago.Mia was in her eighth standard. Everybody was exchanging greeting cards during new year, but to Mia’s surprise, nobody came to her to give a card that morning, which made her sad.However, later that afternoon, when Mia returned from a lunch break, there was a rose left at her bench. Back then, Mia didn’t know who left that rose on her bench, but now, as she was dreaming using the power of the luna system and was reliving that memory, she looked around after picking up that rose, and there she found Gabe sitting the back rows, stealing glances at her.Did he leave the rose there? There was no way of asking him because as Mia tried to speak with him, the dream world was falling apart.Nevertheless, this dream led to another dream.One evening after school hours, when Mia was returning home with her friends, a monkey stole Mia’s bag and climbed up a tree. Nobody helped her. She tossed a few stones at the monkey, but the monkey was high up in the tree, and it was going th
