Russell contacted his grandfather on the mobile and briefly told him what happened. “Is it possible for me to get my hands on the Hacking system for a little while?”“You think that’s a pendrive for it to be given and taken whenever you want?” His grandfather, Regan, hissed at him. “I’m acquainted with the Arris family, but I have no idea how they’re going to react if I mention the alpha system. They might help protect your friend, but in the end, he’ll need to be handing over that system to them. Will he do that?”“I don’t think so.”“Then there isn’t much I can do,” Regan was blunt. “The Hacking system is with the Wolfe clan. They will not give it even if you ask for it since you already owned it once.”“Then what am I supposed to do?” Russell frustratingly said. “Just sit and watch?”“I can tell you’re feeling guilty for how things turned out, but sometimes, the best we can do is do nothing, Russell,” he said. “Anyway, how about you contact your dad? If it’s him, he might be able t

Gabe was fighting in the UTS ring. His opponent was Demon Son, someone ranked 66,666 in the UTS rankings. He had been at that rank for almost three years without moving, but everybody knew that he was much stronger than his rank suggested. This was the first time Gabe had to fight against someone in the ring, who was making wind blow with his fists. His punches whispered to him like demons would in a human's ears. He was fast, strong, sturdy, arrogant, and experienced. Gabe did not have it easy. He had to exert some energy in order to block this man’s attacks. Most of the audience bet on Demon Son, because he was on a ten match winning streak. He was an eight-foot-tall man who was capable of moving nimbly like a basketball professional could. Everything about him was abnormal. The audience joked among themselves, saying that he could chomp on Gabe’s face if he wanted. The fact that Gabe defended himself most of the time didn’t help the audience change their mind, either. “He’s onl

Gabe was sleeping on the couch, while using Ulf as a lookout, in case someone were to attack him. Ulf was sitting outside, playing with the ants, which walked along the lines he drew on the ground. When they finished the tasks, he dropped sugar on the ground to reward them. After eating, they lifted their front legs and thanked him. He dropped more sugar, and they took the sugar into their hideout underground. Gabe’s mobile rang. It was Russell calling, so he quickly answered. “Hey, is everything alright?” “Yeah…” Russell said. “Actually, not quite.” Gabe’s heart started beating faster. “Why? What happened?” “Nothing serious, so calm down first,” Russell said. “The thing is, we always do a routine health check for our chefs every month, and we did it to your mom as well.” “D-Did she get bad test results?” Gabe quickly asked. “What was wrong with her?” “It’s the opposite, actually. Her health is quite perfect. From the count of white blood cells to her neural activity, everythin

Jessica was showing her marriage albums to Mia, which quite shocked her because it was so grand. There were more than fifty albums in the room, and even more video tapes lying around. It was like watching the wedding of a prince and a princess.“Damn, you guys went all out with this,” Mia said, a bit of envy flowing through her voice. “I can’t even dream of having this type of wedding.”“You already had yours, didn’t you?”“U-Uh, yeah…”“But you haven’t changed your maiden name yet, have you?” Jessica asked.“Um, well… do we really have to change our maiden name?” Mia wondered. “I want to keep the family name that reminds me of my parents.”“You can keep it as your middle name if you want,” Jessica suggested. “It’ll become Mia Reyes Brando then.”“That sounds horrible, though,” Mia opened.“Haha, it does, but taking in your husband’s family name is the respect you give for your husband,” Jessica said, “who is going to become your future parent, best friend, partner for life, and mor

“Huh?” Gabe couldn’t believe that Systa would respond like this. He left Systa with Nicole to keep her safe. He told Nicole that Systa was one of his friends’ daughters, but that turned out to be a bad idea as Nicole started feeding her a lot of dishes she personally cooked.Because Systa kept eating without a problem, Nicole kept cooking, thinking that this little girl just has a big appetite and a high metabolism.“If you don’t help me, how am I supposed to know?” Gabe yelled back. “All I need is your opinion.”[Like I said, I’m too busy, Uncle.] Systa replied with a mental message.Gabe got angry, but he could only force himself to smile.“What are you here for, Gabriel?” Regan asked. “Do you want to start a business? Did you come here to seek my advice? Some investment, too, maybe?”“Nothing like that, sir,” Gabe calmly stated. “I came here to help you.”Regan paused for a second and then laughed. “Help me? I don’t need any help, though, unless you can make it easier for me to poo
