System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 111
Gabe froze like a chicken whose throat was held by the butcher. All he could do was watch as the butcher put his throat under the knife.There wasn’t any cash in Gabe’s pocket, either, so he just didn’t know how to react to this situation.Mia took out the money from her purse and paid the bill. The waiter left, but Gabe was still blankly staring with his mouth partly open.“There must have been some kind of issue with the card,” Mia said, even after she believed that there was no money in Gabe’s bank account. She didn’t want to make him feel embarrassed.Gabe pressed his lips together before putting the debit card back in his purse. He wanted to say thank you to her, but words didn’t come out of his mouth for some reason.[You should look at your face in the mirror right now. It’s hilarious.] Systa leaked out an annoying laugh to further test his nerves.Gabe’s face had no more color left to lose.[I told you already that the punishment will make you cry and beg me to forgive you.] S

Venkat’s face darkened like the night. He wanted to slap Gabe straight away, but after experiencing Gabe’s strength on his shoulder, he didn’t want to risk it.Instead of giving way for Gabe to leave the cafe, he walked alongside him and went to where Mia and Nora were talking.“Why don’t you two join us?” Venkat asked with a smile.“We just ate, so…” Mia apologized. “Sorry.”“Then, you can at least treat us to a nice meal,” Venkat suggested. “You two got married but didn’t even call us, so you can at least do this much for us, can’t you?”“Uh, sure,” Mia agreed out of shyness.“I’ll wait outside,” Gabe said and was leaving, but Venkat grabbed his hand.“Don’t go, my friend. We have a lot to talk about,” Venkat forced him to come with them and sit at the same time once more.“Order anything you want,” Mia told Nora. “I’ll pay for everything.”“That’s the Mia I know,” Nora excitedly called the waiter and then began to look at only the premium items. From burgers and ice creams to milk

The word ‘poor’ struck a vein in Gabe’s heart, especially because Mia was not talking back to Venkat anymore, which meant that she accepted his words probably because in her eyes Gabe was really poor.Gabe might have been able to clear his debts away, but he was still someone who was living in a small house that hasn’t been painted in decades.“Do you really work in UTS?” Venkat further questioned Gabe’s identity. “It’s a big company, so it makes me wonder if you’re really working there, or did you make a fake identity card to trick an innocent woman like Mia?”Mia looked at Gabe, wondering what he’d answer.“Why do you care where I work?” Gabe asked back.“Because you claimed that you earn more money than I do,” Venkat replied sharply. “So, obviously, I want to see if what you said was true or not. Why don’t you call your boss and talk with him in front of us?”Gabe slightly frowned.“Or, you can just show your bank statement for the past couple of months to show us your salary,” Nor

“Why are you spacing out when I asked you to do such a simple thing?” Mia snapped her fingers before Gabe’s face.“M-Mia, it’s a long story,” he grabbed her hand and took her to the elevator. Inside, they were alone, and he tried to explain things to her. “I want to give your money back, but I can’t. You know about the system I have, right? That thing is taking my money away.”“Huh?” Mia kept staring at him without blinking.“You don’t believe me?” He quickly showed the transactions and proved to her that his bank balance was zero. However, Gabe could easily have transferred the money to another account also owned by him, so Mia wasn’t too sure about what he was saying.“If the system is troubling you, then why don’t you take it off?” Mia asked.“Like I said, it’s a long story,” Gabe couldn’t tell her about the millions of dollars that he earned through the alpha system and then breaking the deal. It was too sensitive of an information that he didn’t want anyone to know.“Alright,” M

Claire didn’t trouble Gabe as much as he thought she would. After eating the chocolate ice cream, she just shook hands with him and Mia, and wished them luck. In the end, she lightly hugged Mia and whispered, “I was planning to go after him, but you got to him first. You are lucky.”Mia’s eyes enlarged in response.“See ya later,” Claire waved goodbye to Gabe and left as a happy woman. She looked more like a teenage girl now who didn’t care about looking a bit childish, whereas in the UTS, she looked like a lioness.Gabe didn’t even wave back at her, but Mia raised her brows and asked him, “She seems to be more than a co-worker. Did you two perhaps date in the past?”“What? No!” Gabe was quick to respond.“Then, do you have feelings for her?”“Of course not,” Gabe’s reply was faster this time. “I told you that I love you, didn’t I?”“I don’t believe your words anymore, Gabe,” Mia blew air through her nose. “From today, I’ll keep a knife with me, so think twice before trying to take ad

Mia and her family returned home. Everybody had bought something for themselves, except for Gabe. He was the only person who didn’t buy anything. Even if he wanted to buy, he didn’t have any money, so he couldn’t buy anything for his aunt either.As everybody rushed into Mia’s home, Gabe was walking toward his house.“Wait,” Mia’s voice reached his ears. He stopped and looked back. She gave him a bag and walked into her house without saying anything.Gabe looked inside the bag, and there were two pairs of clothes, and also the cake packed inside a small box. One pair of clothes was for a male, and the second pair for a female.“Did she buy clothes for me and my aunt as well?” Gabe got a bit emotional because he thought Mia only bought clothes for herself and her family. “Look at what she’s bought for me and my aunt, Systa.” He scolded the system. “You said she’s selfish, but she bought clothes for me after we sort of had a fight. She even bought a pair for my aunt. Will you take your

Gabe had a hot bath, and it eased his stress. He loved it very much because he didn’t have a hot bath before. This was his first time, and it felt like a luxury.After bathing, he came and hugged Nicole and kissed her and thanked her without telling her the reason.Nicole was a bit confused because she didn’t figure out that it was the hot bath that made Gabe so content.Gabe had never prepared hot baths for Nicole because her body used to suffer from inflammation, and so she only had cold baths even during harsh winters. The same was the case for Gabe.“Did you check the dress, Mom?” Gabe’s eyes were glowing with bright light. “Mia bought it for you.”“Was it Mia’s selection?” Nicole checked the dress and looked impressed. “I think she got the size right. She has good eyes.”“She has experience as a fashion designer, Mom,” Gabe told her. “So, I think that’s why she was able to pick the right size.”“Ah, that makes sense, but…” she looked up at him. “You are going to pay the money for

Bart’s father, William, was eating while making a lot of noises with his barbaric chewing because he was so hungry and no one was around. But when he saw Gabe casually enter through the front door, he just couldn’t digest it. He angrily dropped the chicken leg piece on the plate and stood. Gabe’s gaze met with William. Seeing the arrogant and cold look on William’s face, Gabe remarked, “I can see where Bart got his arrogance from. Are you going to waste the food on your plate?” “I’m full,” William burped. “Why don’t you finish what’s left on my plate? Oh, wait, you haven an aunt, don’t you? It must have been a long time since she ate chicken, so why don’t you feed her with this leftover food? I’m sure she’ll be over the moon.” Gabe clenched his fists. William saw that and faintly smiled. “Or does she not have the teeth to chew on the chicken bones? What a pity. I truly don’t see the point of such a person living in this world. It would have been much better for her to have killed h

Gabe’s attack kept all the four squad leaders at bay as the electricity that washed through their bodies did not leave to the ground.Instead, it stayed in their bodies, trying to cook them alive.They had to resist the lightning energy with their ethereal energies.At the same time, Mia was able to push Willow back, though her leg suffered a deep cut in the process.Half of her bone was also cut, but she was healing at a fast pace.Regardless, Mia wasn’t worried about these opponents right now because the lightning energy of Gabe was also filling her body.However, it did not hurt her.But it made her feel stronger, and she began to feel Gabe’s presence all the more. Not just his presence, but all the things he had done in the past were popping in her mind.So many new memories poured into her mind.From the memories of his childhood to recent incidents, all the strong memories of his life played in her mind like a fast-moving dream.Some of these memories really squeezed her soul.S

“This is the end, youngling,” Willow turned into ten thousand different clones which looked like a giant swarm of illusion moving toward Gabe. “Phantom Dance!”All the figures of Willow attacked him in different styles all at once.It looked like Gabe’s entire body was burst to pieces.“It’s over already?” Fang snickered. “Heh, who gets to keep the omega system now?”“It’s not over,” Stark frowned. “Didn’t you see that flash of light?”“What flash?” Fang looked at Stark. “Did you see something that I didn’t?”Zephyr arrived where they were. “He used his lightning ability to move fast… so fast that my eyes also barely followed it.”“How the hell did he move that fast all of a sudden?” Fang frowned. “Where is he now?”Willow put her sword on her shoulder and looked down at the park miles below, a corner of her lips slightly curling up as she saw Gabe standing behind Mia now.“He released a burst of lightning at the last second. I thought he was defending himself, but he used it to pull

Gabe could feel what happened to Mia, that she was sent flying down to the earth.He wanted to go and help her, but Stark and Fang kept him occupied.The narrow and precise attacks of Stark constantly targeting Gabe’s head were messing with his sense of distance.Fang also stayed closed and made sure to mess with Gabe’s timing by throwing attacks that unpredictably supported Stark.Clearly, they were seasoned fighters who didn’t put a single foot wrong.Even Gabe, who wasn’t much of an experienced fighter, could tell that these two had fought each other and together many times before.Otherwise, such perfect coordination might not be possible.“If I can’t overpower them with technique, I have to do it through other means…” Gabe leaked electricity into the cloud, which reflected it back at Stark and Fang, forcing them to fend off from these sudden attacks.“He’s able to use not just the ground but also the clouds to his advantage,” Fang harrumphed. “How annoying. Even though I’m covered

More than two decades ago.“I understand about the alpha system, but why does the Patriarch want to find the luna system, too?” Zephyr was asking his squad commander at the time who was his own aunt.“He wanted to give it to his wife or his daughter, maybe?” Zephyr’s aunt said while smoking from a pipe.“Why?”“Haha, why you ask? Because it’s known to be the best support system,” she laughed. “I don’t know much, either, but the luna system is said to be driven by the owner’s feelings more than any other system. So, it is one of those systems where anger, happiness, and even sadness can be turned into strength. They say it can cast perfect illusions that make dreams resemble reality.”“What? That’s pretty fucked up.”“Yeah, it is a fitting system for any queen, as it has the capability to keep the alpha in check when everyone else fails,” she opined. “That’s why it’s a coveted system, but unfortunately, our clan never got hold of it. If you ever come across an opponent who wields that

Bennie created a blue chain with her ‘vivre’ and threw it at Mia.Mia moved around to dodge it, but the chain traveled like a snake, bit on her shoulder, and dug its fangs into her body.Mia felt her energy being sucked away.“Stop struggling,” Bennie smirked. “We’ve been fighting before we learned how to walk properly. Did you think you could beat us because you were chosen by the luna system? From what I can see, you can’t even use it well. So, it’s only right that we take it from you.”As Mia’s energy was getting sucked away, yellow petal flowers began to form in front of her body.The flower slowly turned into a yellow rose.“Is that the luna system?” Bennie’s eyes lit up. “It does match the description I know of.” She pulled the chain and snatched the yellow flower, but Mia also grabbed the chain and didn’t let go. “Just give up already.” Bennie pulled the chain with all her strength.Mia roared, and the yellow rose burst into petals and duplicated themselves into thousands and t

“Cloud Step.”Zephyr’s body seemingly turned into fog and disappeared into thin air, startling both Gabe and Mia.Mia couldn’t even tell which direction he went, but Gabe rushed over to her and blocked a powerful attack of Zephyr.“Bane Jolt.” Zephyr cried out, releasing a poisonous purple energy through his fist.Gabe was getting pushed back.“Let me help you!” Mia stepped past Gabe and thrust a kick in Zephyr’s ribs.Zephyr’s angry gaze shifted to her. He pointed his left forefinger at her. “Bone Bullet.”A sharp bullet made out bone energy pierced through her abdomen.It was so painful she couldn’t even cry. She staggered back in shock.Before Zephyr could shoot another condensed energy bullet, Gabe caught that forefinger and snapped it.Frowning, Zephyr pulled his hand away, but to his shock, Gabe released lightning and roasted that finger at the same time.As a result, the finger got burned to crisp and separated from Zephyr’s body.Zephyr’s eyes widened as he wasn’t expecting th

Gabe held Mia in his arms and dashed away with all the power his legs could muster.“If only I could use that teleporting ability…” he was frustrated with the fact that his current level wasn’t enough to pull off such an ability even once.Nine members, like a pack of wolves chasing after two stray wolves, were after Gabe and Mia with the intention of killing them and getting their hands on the precious systems at any cost.However, the only problem they had was that Gabe was traveling on rooftops, and any major confrontation between both parties could destroy the buildings and disturb the citizens, even causing casualties in the process.Gabriel Agnar would severely punish them if innocent people were to get hurt in the process of acquiring systems, so the head of the Jaguar squad, Zephyr, cast a heavenly spell.It was almost like a magic spell, which condensed all the vapors around them and created a massive cloud at a ground level, which spread out for miles upon miles in every dir
CHAPTER 493
“Whoever manages to defeat that ‘worthless’ brat will get to keep the omega system.”The moment Gabriel Agnar uttered those last few words, all the nine standing members of the Jaguar squad rushed toward Gabe without a shred of hesitation.They were all elite warriors his grandfather had commanded, all intent on claiming the power that lay still dormant within Gabe."Stand down, brat," the third ranker Bennie called out, her voice layered with authority. "You cannot hope to win against us. Surrender, and you may yet find mercy."“You monsters who are ganging up on me, do you even know what mercy means?” Gabe retorted and countered Fang with a punch.Surprisingly, Gabe’s punch seemed simple but the weight it had was tremendous. Fang was pushed back.But at the same time Stark kicked Gabe’s face.Once again, Stark expected Gabe to be sent flying, but Gabe took the attack without even moving an inch.And it was Stark who frowned in response.Zephyr raised his hand, stopping others from a

“It’s time to return,” Gabriel Agnar said, and these few words changed the body language of all the squad members.In that moment, they let their guard dawn, a small figure dashed in through their ranks and attacked their patriarch Gabriel.Gabriel saw through the first feint and responded accordingly, but the second attack also turned out to be a feint just to distract him so that they could pluck the severed hand out of Gabriel’s hand.And they managed to grab the hand, but no amount of pulling was enough to get the severed hand out of the old man’s grip.Everyone was startled after seeing the young kid who gave off an ethereal energy, which they could sense.This young kid was none other than Ulf.“What do you think you’re doing, kid?” Gabriel asked him.“Ha-ha, good afternoon,” Ulf replied awkwardly, “or is it evening now?” He grew triple in size and clenched his fists. “Omega Arts Secret Move…” He threw in a straight punch at Gabriel’s chest. “Final Fist!”Gabriel took the attack
