Gabe wanted to call Mia’s name, but out of respect for her, he knocked on the door just once.“Who is it?” she asked.“Your loving husband,” Gabe cleared his throat and answered.Moments later, the door opened, and Mia was staring at him with her brows raised high. “Seriously, it’s time you stop being overly husband-like.”“But this will make your family jealous of us,” Gabe reasoned.“I don’t want to make them jealous. I want them to believe that we’re married,” Mia hissed in a low voice. “I want them to feel discomfort because of your presence and the new atmosphere you set here. I want them to stand on their own feet.”“Ho…” Gabe was surprised. “So you’ve been thinking about what to do from here onward.”“Yeah, come on in,” Mia let him inside before shutting the door. She then gave him a diary.“What’s this?”“I’ve written four pages on how you should act,” she said. “Read them and tell me what you think.”“Alright.” Gabe was sitting down on her bed, but she pointed at the couch.P

The next morning.Everyone except Mia and Gabe were enjoying breakfast at the dining table. Bertha herself cooked today, and Bart loved the food.“No one can beat you in cooking, Mom,” he praised her.Bertha smiled. “But, Son, what happened to your jaw? Why are you eating slowly with the spoon?”“T-That’s a long story,” Bart’s shoulders slumped. “I’d rather not talk about it.”“Did you fall from forward and hit your chin, Uncle?” Draco asked in a self-altered sweet voice.“No.”“Did someone punch you in the face or something?” Draco asked again.Bart kept staring at Draco without answering.“Haha, who could hurt your uncle?” William chortled. “He’s capable of taking down professional boxers with a single punch, so who can land their fist on his face? I don’t think such a man exists.”Freddy was silently eating. Carrie kept nudging him because they had talked about asking Bart to give Freddy a job in his company. Though Freddy had told her he was planning to work elsewhere, Carrie was

Romantic lovers would say, an unplanned kiss is the best.The kiss between Mia and Gabe also fell in this category.Was it breathtaking? Was it comforting? Was it captivating? Was it stirring? Was it beautiful?Whether it had all those experiences imbued in it or not, one thing was clear.It was short.Short it may be, it was steamy yet sophisticated in the sense that it imparted knowledge onto the two souls involved in the kiss.It was not a slippery kiss, but it had this gorgeous mix of coy and crudeness burgeoning as their four lips firmly connected and exchanged a lot of information from the scent and senses to their breaths and feelings.Gabe looked star-struck as if he appeared as if he had tasted something heavenly, and his heart blossomed like a flower.Mia, on the other hand, had an opposite reaction. She wiped her lips and frowned in anger.Seeing the negative expression on Mia, Gabe was forced to bring his emotions and expression back under control. He immediately lowered h

“Are you alright, darling?” Gabe was quick to give a glass of water to Mia after she started coughing wildly.She took a few sips slowly, and that helped her breathe better. Of course, she was not looking at Gabe’s body. She was doing her best to not look at it.“What’s for breakfast today?” Gabe sat down and acted like everything was normal.“Poor Uncle, why aren’t you wearing a shirt?” Draco asked. “Didn’t you buy clothes yesterday along with others?”“Ah, I think clothes restrict me from eating freely,” Gabe casually replied while putting food on the plate so much the entire plate filled up, and he still kept going until the food rose to the level of his chest, shocking everyone. Gabe began to scoop out of that mountain of food as if it was a large piece of cheese.Bertha felt disgusted and openly said, “This is what happens when you marry someone whose standards are way below us.” She looked at Mia. “Do you want me to feel bad because he came to the table shirtless, or do you want

After Gabe lost, Draco started saying that he also wanted to compete with Gabe. Everyone told him that he would lose, but he said he wanted to fight. Gabe agreed to compete with him, and they did. Mia didn’t tell Gabe anything because she wanted to see how he’d deal with a child. And Gabe gave Draco just enough trouble to make him use all of his strength. In the end, Gabe lost almost similarly to how he lost against Bart. Draco jumped in delight after victory, but it was like sending another slap at Bart. When Mia thanked Gabe for letting the kid win, Bart felt another invisible slap bruising his ego. He still refused to believe that Gabe intentionally lost in the arm-wrestling match as otherwise, it would mean that Gabe was significantly stronger than him. Eventually, Bart brought ice creams for everyone. In fact, he gave two ice creams to Mia when Gabe wasn’t around and told her, “I’m sorry for everything. I know a simple apology wouldn’t cover the mistakes I’ve done, so I’ll be

Gabe came to a local grocery store where things weren’t going well. The store was owned by his friend, Monroe.“This is the third time this week that things were stolen from my store,” Monroe was telling all his worries to Gabe. Having seen Gabe drive a Lambo, he no longer considered Gabe as poor and undependable.“What are the police doing?” Gabe asks, sipping on almond milk from a bottle, which he bought using the twenty dollars that Mia had given him instead of giving a protein powder packet.“I complained to them, but they are more interested in taking products from my store for free instead of solving the case,” Monroe sounded quite frustrated. “The police have taken things worth over 2000 dollars in the past six days. I regret filing a complaint.”“This is pure harassment,” Gabe hissed. “Shouldn’t you consult a lawyer or something?”“Why? To feed the lawyer, too?” Monroe’s shoulder slumped. “These days, you can’t trust anyone. People who have no morals go to high places, but idi

After having brunch with Irene, Mia left the restaurant.Someone else came and sat at Irene’s table. It was her husband. “You chatted for a long time. What did you two talk about?”“Something that men wouldn’t understand,” Irene replied, making him smile. “She might need our help in the future, so if that time comes, I don’t want you to think about it.”He calmly nodded.“Thanks,” Irene said.“You’re not the type to care for your friends,” he said. “Why do you care about this particular friend? Did she help you in the past or something?”“Nothing like that. During our marriage, I realized that I don’t have many friends, so… I thought I should invest some time and effort into making some good friends.”“You think she’s worth your time and effort?” he asked.“I hope so,” Irene replied. “She’s definitely not like Keira or Natasha, but we’ll see.”In Draco’s school.Draco was playing mobile games during class hours using Nicole’s mobile. During recess, Draco put the mobile in his bag and

In Tuna Waves restaurant.After seeing her talent, Nicole was given the role of innovating the dishes by the head chef. She worked for the entire day and prepared seven dishes and made the chefs taste.What Nicole didn’t know was that this was a test. If she were to get approved by more than half the chefs, then she’d be promoted from an intern to a chef.When the chefs tasted her seven dishes, some of them raised complaints that most of these dishes were not weather-friendly or customer-friendly and so on.Nicole didn’t keep all these things in her mind. So, she asked them to give her one more chance before they even gave her the result.The seven dishes she made were definitely good, but most of them had too much spice, which would scare many customers away, and that wouldn’t do good business. These dishes were perfect for home but not for hotels.The head chef told her she could come tomorrow and try again.Nicole, however, said it was alright and worked for four more hours to prep

“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

At Russell’s estate.Zephyr, the head of the Jaguar Squad, struck Gabe’s chest with his palm. A shockwave burst through his chest and ripped the back of Gabe’s shirt in the shape of Zephyr's palm.Gabe coughed out a lot of blood, and his eyes nearly turned white. He was about to fall back.Zephyr caught Gabe’s throat and squeezed it. “If I kill you, then the Alpha System will be ours.”“Gabe!” Mia ran toward him. “No!”“Where do you think you’re running?” Pixie, the number five, blurted. Her green hair extended forth like tree vines and sought to capture Mia.Mia moved swiftly and dodged a few vines, but the hair grew branches like trees, and they were sharp enough to pierce through Mia’s body.Her torso and limbs were riddled with many thin holes.She bled from the nose and mouth and couldn’t move at all. She felt completely frozen.Pixie pulled the hair out and retracted them. Mia fell to her knees.Seeing all this, Gabe’s blood thrummed beneath his skin. His heart pounded with the c

In ancient times, serpents had wings and feet, and they were called by many names. One of those kinds were also called Dragons.So, dragons were indeed serpents with wings and legs. Even in the modern day, dragons were worshiped in some places. Some martial arts were derived from dragons, too.However, Alleria’s martial arts were not related to dragons but of a different serpent kind, whose existence had been erased from history..When Alleria was young, she spent her time in the woods, and the most difficult enemies she faced were the monstrous serpents that lived in that forest. This made her wonder just how much stronger would the serpents be if they had legs, too, as they did in the past.This led Alleria to search through her clan’s library and find the ancient serpent art books. And she picked one that she believed would be the most challenging.And thanks to her collective efforts, she managed to become the head of one of the Eight Enigma Squads, the Serpent Squad.The Ancient S

Alleria was sent flying through multiple walls, and she ended up crashing into the tables of the precious customers.“That hurts…” Alleria’s cheek bruised, and she bled from a corner of her mouth.“W-Who are you?” The customers were all shocked because this woman was wearing armor underneath her cloak, and there was even a short sword at her waist. “Are you a cosplayer?”“Who was that little girl?” Alleria got back up, looking quite irritated because her cloak was dirtied by the food, so she had to remove it. She looked sturdy despite her age, and she was nearly six feet tall. Many men in that hall hadn’t seen such a well-built woman with attractive looks like that before. “Call herself as my grandmother,” she cracked her neck, releasing the gas bubbles from the joints in her spine, “let’s see if you’ve really got what it takes to utter such words.”She rushed into the bathroom, but to her surprise, Systa and Nicole were gone.“What?” Alleria frowned. “I didn’t see them leave.

Nicole was getting out of the taxi, but Systa held her hand and stopped her. “I’m not feeling the urgency anymore. Can we go somewhere else now?”Nicole couldn’t make sense of Systa’s words. The little girl was struggling until seconds ago, and she’s fine now? Something didn’t feel right. Whether Systa was playing games or not, Nicole didn’t want to take the risk. “I’m taking you to the toilet room once.”“Ugh,” Systa hissed at her. “Listen to me.”Nicole was startled. “Did you just hiss at me? And why are you gritting your teeth?”“Because you don’t understand the trouble that you’re in!” Systa blurted. “Driver, turn the car around and get going.”The driver, however, looked at her with a silly expression as if Systa was not the one who’s going to pay him for the ride.Systa didn’t like that the driver was treating her as a little girl. She wished she could show her powers to him, but because of Nicole, she had to hold herself back.“Can you wait here for half an hour for us?” Nicole

Nicole finished her work in the hotel and walked out with Systa who was in the form of a little girl now.“Why do you look like that?” Nicole asked her.“Look like what?” Systa asked her back.“Look like you’re weighing life's burdens on your shoulders?” Nicole said.“I was just thinking about something,” Systa replied.Nicole picked her up onto her waist.“W-What are you doing?” Systa quickly said, her cheeks flushing. “This is embarrassing. Put me down.”“Get used to it,” Nicole pinched Systa’s cheeks. “You know, I watched Gabe grow, but I missed watching a girl grow. I didn’t have a daughter, you see. So, I feel like keeping you with me for as long as possible.”“S-Stop pulling my cheeks!” Systa found it annoying because her skin was not perfectly authentic human-standard.“Stop acting like that,” Nicole stopped pulling the cheek and gently rubbed it. “You’re a girl, so you’re going to raise kids one day.

In Sciocidad, also known as the phantom city which floated through the sky also known as the lower heaven.At the border, Russell and Jessica were talking with a mature lady whose name they didn’t even know. All he knew was that she was the librarian of the clan that lived in this city.“My goal is to stop another world war from happening,” Russell told her. “If a war breaks out again, then the world really is going to end.”“Silly young man,” the lady named Uzza smiled, “the third world you were worrying about has long started and is still ongoing.”“W-What?” Russell was startled.“Food, air, water, and even people’s very blood has been polluted for decades now and it’s still happening today,” Uzza said. “We see a lot of chemicals being sprayed in the air through special jets. There are nanoparticles, graphene, and even parasites in those chemicals, which will mix with water, food, and can even enter people’s bodies through their skin.

“It’s one thing that James lost, but for Atarah to lose to this brat…” The number one ranker of the Jaguar Squad, Stark, spoke. “This is quite shameful.”“Indeed,” Fang, the second ranker, opined. “I feel a little embarrassed since I’ve trained James for over a month now. For him to lose without even taking an opponent’s limb is quite disappointing. I hope he’s not dead.”“James is the last ranker, the number 10 of the squad,” the zeroth ranker and the head of the Jaguar Squad, Zephyr, replied. He had a sharp mustache and was cleanly shaven. “He’s the weakest, but Atarah is the ranked fourth in the squad, and she let her younger comrade lose. So, she failed both as a teammate and as an individual fighter. She needs to be punished for her mistakes later. But for now…” He glanced at the number five ranker, who was a green-headed female, Pixie.Pixie stepped forth and treated Atarah’s injury with her vivre. It was as though she was conducting surgery with her vivre, using it as needles to
