The mobile in Gabe’s hand dropped.Mia’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly picked up the mobile, but Gabe still looked frozen. He couldn’t believe that Mia had actually asked him to marry her. The woman who always looked beautiful in his eyes even without makeup just asked him if he would marry her. He thought this was a dream. It was too surreal for him, after all.“Gabe,” Mia hesitantly said, “will you be husband for a while?”Gabe’s expression slightly changed. “F-For a while? W-What do you mean?” He couldn’t get his head around that phrase. Was the happiness swelling in his just a short-living thing like the froth of boiling milk?“C-Can we talk privately in the park?” she asked.“N-No, let’s talk here,” he shut the main door.Mia right now didn’t mind what neighbors would think. She sat down on the second-hand chair. He sat next to her in another chair.“Gabe, you worked for a day in my house, so you somewhat know how my family members behave,” Mia said, locking her hands togethe

Gabe hesitantly walked forward. Claire didn’t seem to be in a good mood, after all.(Is she really my opponent?) Gabe didn’t feel good because he didn’t fight a woman before. How was he supposed to fight a beautiful girl like her? This felt like too difficult of a task for him. “Uh, Ms. Claire? What are you doing here?”Claire didn’t want to directly admit that she was waiting for him. “Just wasting my time, that’s all.” She stood straight now. “I thought you weren’t going to come.”“Huh?” Gabe looked a bit confused. “Why?”“Well, your opponent this time is someone really famous,” Claire said. “It’s obvious that UTS doesn’t want you to win 50 matches in a row.”“W-Who’s my opponent? Is he ranked above 1 million?”“1 million?” Claire shook her head. “No, he’s ranked above 10,000,” Claire’s response sent a chill down his spine.“T-Ten thousand?” Gabe’s mouth opened wide. “H-How could they put me against someone ranked so high? How is this fair?”“Well, I think they’ve taken everything y

A surge of adrenaline like never before flooded through Gabe’s body along with the messages that kept popping one after another.If there was anything that Systa hated absolutely, it would be losing pathetically. So, she supported Gabe with immediate urgency.Though losing to someone like Leher wouldn’t be a humiliating thing at all, neither Systa nor Gabe wanted that.“Oh, look! He’s standing up.”“It would have been so bad had he lost just like that. I guess he didn’t win 49 matches in a row by fluke.”“But at this rate, he’s going to get himself killed.”Most of the audience wanted to see a good fight, whereas a few were just worried for Gabe as they believed that he had no chance of winning.Rica was of the same opinion. She hoped that Gabe wouldn’t get up, but Gabe betrayed her expectations. He bore the great pain gripping his whole body and not only got back to his feet but attacked Leher with much greater speed and accuracy than before.The change in Gabe was too much to not no

“Pfft,” nothing stayed in people’s mouths whether it be liquids or solid food. Almost everyone spilled things onto one another.It was followed by a shocked silence.Only moments ago, people were saying Gabe couldn’t touch, thereby wouldn’t hit, and so will not beat Leher in this fight no matter what.However, the first of their claims was proved wrong in an emphatic manner because Gabe’s kick was so solid and loud, everybody, even the sleeping dogs, heard it.Moreover, Leher grunted audibly, suggesting that he felt the kick. Still, he didn’t get blown away because he locked his left arm around Gabe’s ankle and used it to stop his own momentum before spinning on his feet and using the momentum to try and throw Gabe into the cage where barbed wires were present.As Leher spun while still grabbing onto Gabe’s ankle, Gabe kicked with his second foot even from an awkward position. Leher guarded his face with the other hand, but the impact from the side was so strong, it shook Leher’s brai

The name Rookie Crusher prevailed again.Gabe’s 49 match win streak was broken, and Leher's name was chanted by almost everyone present around the stage.Rica announced the victory in an emphatic fashion by dancing nicely and adding to the joy of the audience.Leher, however, didn't look too happy because it took him a lot more than he thought to win the match. His jaw was broken, and so he wasn’t in a position to freely speak, either.In comparison, Gabe was up on his feet. After wiping his face with his shirt, he looked clean like he could go for another match. His breathing became normal, too. Having said that, he silently walked down from the stage and left the place.Some people clapped for him for showing them a good fight.On his way home, Gabe began to scold Systa. “I thought you could help me win. Look what you did now. I couldn’t win 50 times in a row!”[Winning and losing is part of life.]“Bullshit,” Gabe hissed as he drove his lambo.[It was a close match. Unfortunately,
