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

Gabe and Mia were falling down from miles high.Gabe’s legs were still wrapped around Mia’s waist, so their fall was rather awkward.“If we crash like this, both will get injured,” she quickly said.“I-I will do something,” Gabe resisted the urge to grab her cheeks and kiss her in midair, but he believed that this opportunity might not come again.So, he quickly went in for a kiss.Mia put her hand on his mouth. “This isn’t the time!”Just then, her eyes widened as she saw people jumping from the ship that was above them.“Shit. I think we’ve been spotted,” Mia nervously said. “We have to escape.”“Leave it to me,” Gabe smirked and then tightly hugged her.“What are you-” Before she could finish her sentence, Gabe turned into a streak of lightning and traveled through the sky in a zig-zag manner.Within seconds, he crossed tens of miles and landed on a tree top.All the twelve warriors were startled by the speed at which Gabe had traveled.Nevertheless, they used their flying boots to

At a sea port.Gabe and Mia were hiding behind tall rocks at the shore and were observing the people shoot laser bullets at the sea beasts and then bring their bodies to the shore.They harvested crystals out of their bodies, which leaked out a strange but familiar energy.“I have never seen such creepy sea monsters, and what are those weapons?” Mia was a little nervous. “There are laser weapons in this world? I thought it was just fiction.”“They don’t just rely on weapons,” Gabe pointed. “Look over there.”A muscular old man with spiky hair punched a giant serpent monster and put a massive hole in its head.Mia’s eyes swelled out of the sockets. “H-He killed that monster from just the wind pressure emitted from his fist? He’s the real monster here!”“Yeah. He’s pretty strong,” Gabe opined. “I’m not sure if we can beat him even if we fight him together.”“But if we want to enter Syslon, we have to board their ship,” Mia said. “That’s what Ulmer said.”“I know, but can we sneak into h

Gabriel Agnar stopped by a motel.Systa looked a bit dull.“Bring her tea,” Gabriel looked at Alleria who had a bandage wrapped around her head.Alleria frowned but didn’t complain.“To think this little girl is really the Alpha System,” Alleria was still finding it hard to believe. “But, Lord, just so you know, she didn’t beat me. She created a clone of hers and tricked me into fighting the clone.”“You still let her take the woman away, didn’t you?” Gabriel calmly said. “It was your loss. Doesn’t matter how it comes.”“Ugh…” Alleria couldn’t talk after that.She went to the motel owner and asked, “Give us some tea.”“We don’t sell tea here.”Alleria hit the thick wooden bench with her palm and left an imprint there.“I-I’ll get the tea ready in ten minutes,” the motel owner nervously said.“I’ll give you five minutes.”“I-It’s impossible to get it done in five minutes, ma’am.”“Go,” she coldly growled, and he ran to the neighboring convenience store to buy tea bags and milk.Meanwhi

Gabriel grew much angrier after Gabe and Mia disappeared right before his eyes.He put more power into his fist and threw it at Ulmer who was under such pressure he was not able to move.A streak of red lightning flew into the scene and wrapped itself around Gabriel’s fist and stopped his fist in its tracks.“Mm?” Gabriel and Ulmer both looked to their side, where a red-haired woman was standing atop a nearly uprooted tree.She was giving off a ridiculous amount of energy.She looked like she was the embodiment of a million thunderbolts. She looked almost ethereal.“A wolfe clan’s girl?” Gabriel uttered.“The wolfe clan?” Ulmer seemed surprised. This was also his first time directly coming into contact with a person from the wolfe clan since he became the Urban God. “The strongest clan in the world… You came at the right time. Let’s together beat this old man up.”“Hmph,” the red-haired lady descended from the tree almost in a floating manner. “I didn’t come here to take sides. Both o

Both Mia and Gabe were being pressured to hug the ground. Some kind of invisible force as heavy as many mountains was crushing them, making it feel as if their bones would turn to powder under pressure.Gabe gnashed his teeth and tried his best to resist. He was only able to barely move one of his fingers, though.This can’t be real.He thought he had become strong, strong enough to at least stand his ground at those who are at the top of the world.Even though Systa wasn’t with him right now, and even though he wasn’t at his full strength, how could he be toyed like this?How could he not be able to resist the head of the Agnar clan even a little?How can there be such a huge power difference?As he gave it his all to just try and get back, Willow didn’t wait for him.She went for the kill.“I’ll break your wife’s skull right before your eyes, boy!” She axed her foot down at Mia’s head.Mia wanted to move away, but she couldn’t, and she looked more frustrated than afraid that she was

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
CHAPTER 497
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
