Gabe left Ulf to watch over Nicole, and Systa to watch over Mia from a distance.Gabe drove to the place where Russell told him to come. It was an old warehouse at the border of the city.But before Gabe even stepped out of the car, he saw David and Sansa and recognized them immediately. Russell was talking with them outside the warehouse.“Why the hell are they here?” For a second, he wondered if Russell was setting him up. “Should I go out or not? What do you think, Systa?”[If I were you, I’d get the hell away from there.] Systa sent him a mental message. [Nothing good will come from messing with them. If they know that I am with you, they’re going to chase you to the ends of the earth.]Gabe frowned and was about to put his foot on the accelerator.“Gabriel!” Russell’s voice reached his ears. “Come inside,” he was waving his hand.(Don’t listen. Just leave.) Gabe told himself, but his leg couldn’t press the pedal. There weren’t many people around in this neighborhood, so it was a

Sansa stabbed Medusa’s chest with an injection, which she said was like a truth serum. A normal vampire would not feel drunk even after drinking a barrel of wine, so they’d need a special sort of liquid for their minds to be affected. Sansa gave just that, which accelerated Medusa’s heartbeat. Blood started flowing faster to her brain as all kinds of thoughts crept into her mind, making her eyes move to the left and to the right pretty quickly. “Tell me now,” Sansa uttered in Medusa’s ear. “Who was it that you fought outside the city a few days back? Did he or she use any supernatural powers? Spill everything you know. The more you try to resist, the more it’ll hurt.” “Stop this,” Medusa cried. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Sansa tried again and again, but Medusa gave the same response. Sansa took out another injection. “Don’t,” David stopped her. “She’s likely erased her own memories.” “Huh? Is something like that possible?” Sansa looked shocked. “Yes. Your dad and

Sansa’s kick sent Gabe flying into the distance.“Why are you letting him escape?” David coldly glared at her.“I-I was only trying to help you, Uncle,” Sansa quickly said.“Do you think I need your help?” David growled.Meanwhile, after getting blown into the wall by the wind, Russell somehow got up to his feet.He remembered David asking him a few years ago to speak against alcohol and to get it banned if possible because many fights and accidents were happening in the world because of alcohol. And Russell did speak against the alcohol, though he didn’t say it should be completely banned.“You’ve told me to avoid fighting as much as possible as nothing good will come out of it,” Russell said out loud. “So what the hell are you doing now? Raising your fist against my friend just for a system. Do morals apply only to others and not you?”David’s expression, however, didn’t change at all. “It’s not that I want to fight your friend. It’s just that the importance of the system he’s in po

At Tuna Waves hotel. “How did Gabriel exactly find and save both you and my daughter?” Jessica asked Nicole. She looked very curious and eager to know. “I remember him as an introvert and shy guy who wouldn’t look at anybody. How come he was able to fight all the bad guys and rescue you and Nora? I really want to know.” “You’re right. He used to be so shy,” Nicole laughed thinking about it. “He wouldn’t even go to the doctor to take medicine for himself when he was sick. But I guess, as time passed and he worked at different places, his heart became tough. Still, I think he’s a soft guy. And by that I mean, he’s emotionally vulnerable. He wouldn’t care if some random guy were to speak ill of him, or probably even if the whole world is against him, but if someone he likes were to scold him, then he’d feel bad and cry about it.” She paused for a moment. “His strength and weakness are both the people he puts in his heart. He doesn’t easily trust people, but if he likes and respects some

Whom did Gabe call when he was at his lowest? What about when he couldn’t buy pills for his aunt? When he couldn’t afford even one meal a day for both himself and his aunt? When he couldn’t pay the television bill even though television was the only thing that was giving some entertainment to his aunt when he’d go out to work during the day and sometimes even during the night? When he got dumped by Kiera on his wedding day?Nobody.Not a single soul cared, except for maybe Nicole, but he didn’t cry in front of her. He didn’t take his daily troubles to her. He always tried not to show his weak side in front of his aunt, for he was a man.Gabe had a mobile, which had many numbers saved on it, but he didn’t call anyone. Because he probably knew in the back of his mind that nobody would give a shit. Even if someone did, Gabe had seen and experienced enough in life to know that these people would likely use the things he would say against himself.Kiera was a prime example. She told his se
