System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 137
Hanley, the manager, was fifty-three years old. Because he dyed his hair black, he looked younger than his actual age. Many women working in his professional and personal life tried to get closer to him because he was a successful manager who amassed a wealth of four million dollars ever since he started working in Tuna Waves about three years ago. Having said that, more than half of his amount was earned illegally.Still, Hanley managed to maintain a near-perfect image in the restaurant. He was able to enjoy the luxuries of a manager to the fullest extent possible, and so he thought everything was in his reach.With that same confidence, he had asked Nicole out on a date on the first day she joined as an intern. She looked so homely to him, and he wanted to experience her, but Nicole said no. She didn’t directly reject him but said she wouldn’t date anyone from her workplace and asked him to excuse her.He wanted to indirectly give her trouble so she’d lose her job, but to his surpri

Hanley personally went and brought the milkshake not just because he was being a humble manager but he was also trying to impress Viola.However, Gabe pushed the milkshake glass toward Viola, startling her.“I-It’s for me?” She was so happy she clapped twice. “Thank you. You really are a good guy, aren’t you? You are dressed poorly, and you smell bad, but you have a kind heart.” She sipped on the drink without any hesitation. She wasn’t particularly short, but something about her made her appear dainty and cute. If Gabe wasn’t married, he might have felt like asking her out even though she looked to be nineteen or twenty years old at best. After all, there was some kind of positive vibe around her.Hanley didn’t like what Gabe was doing because he felt like Gabe was stealing the spotlight.Hanley put the bill book on the table.Gabe didn’t even check the bill and put the card on the card and told him the password.Hanley personally swiped the card and was surprised when the transactio

For someone like Hanley, it would be easier to fire Viola than to pluck a hair from his own head.Viola looked baffled for a second because she couldn’t understand why Hanley would say such a thing, but when she looked into his eyes, she realized something, that the Hanely she had seen the past few days might only be the shell that Hanley had created for public image.Viola was a very sharp young woman, but even she couldn’t see through Hanley until now, probably because Hanley had a great reputation for being kind and humble.“Manager, do you realize what you’re saying?” Viola asked.“Just do what I tell you, without asking questions,” Hanley pushed the review box toward her. He was standing right next to her, so she couldn’t write positively about it even if she wanted to.However, she didn’t want to write negatively about a dish she liked so much, so she leaned forward so that Hanley wouldn’t be able to see what she was writing on the paper.(This little bitch.) Hanley squinted his

“Why aren’t you answering?” Russell pinched Viola’s cheek as if she was just a little girl to him. “Why the hell are you working in this hotel as a waitress? When did you even come to this city?”“Grandma introduced me to some douchebag and told me to marry him,” Viola complained. “Mom sided with her, so I had to run away.”“Then why didn’t you come to me directly?” Russell still kept pulling her cheek. “Why do you have to work here as a waitress?”“You can say I was inspired by my sister-in-law,” Viola said.“By Jessica?” Russell was surprised. “What do you mean?”“I came to this restaurant to meet you,” Viola explained, her voice sounding weird and funny because he was still holding her left cheek. “But I saw Jessica serving the customers, wearing the uniform of staff. I suddenly felt like working as a waitress after that.”“Ah, so that’s what happened,” Russell now understood better. “Jessica does that once every month to understand the staff as well as the customers and to keep he

“Remember, you need to keep the flame high and act fast so that the flavor will be immediately absorbed by the cucumber,” the head chef told Nicole.“Yes, sir,” Nicole started cutting the cucumber. Someone picked up the cut pieces and put them in their mouth. “Who…” she quickly looked at them. “Gabe! W-What are you doing here?”“I just wanted to see you once,” he hugged her a little. “It’s pretty hot in here. Why isn’t there an AC?”“It’s going to affect the flavors, so we can’t have that,” the head chef said and introduced himself. “I’m Konway.”“I’m Gabe. Nice to meet the boss of the kitchen. Take care of my mom well.”“I will,” the head chef Konway said but then blinked twice. “W-Wait, she’s your MOM?!”His loud voice attracted attention.Konway glared at the chefs so they went back to their business.Konway then whispered to Gabe. “We have work to do, so keep your discussion short.” Saying that he walked away.

In Draco’s school.Joshua, the tallest, fattest, and the richest guy in the class, who didn’t care about Draco until now because of their ego issues, finally started being friendly with Draco.Draco had his own team of friends, who abandoned him after his mobile was stolen and then joined Joshua’s side. Now, Draco didn’t let them take his side and even let Joshua kick them out of the group.Draco was known to play mobile games well in the class, whereas Joshua was known for playing Dream Creed.Joshua was only eight years old, but one must be 12 or older to play the world-famous VR-game Dream Creed.

In Mia’s house.Bart knocked on Mia’s door. She opened the door and saw Bart. She was quickly closing the door, but he said, “Wait, you will wanna see this.”He showed his mobile which had a speaker on, and Bertha’s voice could be heard, “You’ve asked for money to leave Mia’s side, didn’t you? Take it, Gabe. There’s 1,000,000 dollars inside. Take it and leave Mia as you said. But… Sign these documents first.”“Mm? Are these divorce documents?” Gabe asked.“And you also agree that you don’t want any alimony, either,” Bertha added. “Sign those documents, and this money will be yours.”“Shall I check the money first?” Gabe asked.“Yeah. Sure,” Bertha said without any hesitation.At the same time, Bart told Mia. “Look. This is his real nature, Mia. He’s only after your money. Nothing else.”Mia frowned. (What the hell is going on? Did he make some sort of agreement with Aunt Bertha behind my back? Didn’t I tell him that he shouldn’t keep any secrets with me?)“Do you get it now?” Bart str

Draco used the old chair for footing to be able to see what was in the bag. Draco’s mouth wide opened after seeing the stacks of hundred dollar bills.“W-What the…” he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He had to rub his eyes multiple times to realize that this wasn’t a dream. “Where did he get this much money? I thought he was poor, but maybe he's really a hacker or something along those lines?” Draco took a single stack that had 200 notes in it. He was getting down from the chair, but he changed his mind and took another stack and put them on his back before quickly leaving the house.He went straight to his room, locked the door and began to count the money. He didn’t know how to count past 1000 dollars, so he stopped there. “Shit. There’s a lot more money in here than I thought.” He split the money into multiple thousands and then counted how many thousands there were. “There are forty of these thousand dollars, so that makes it 40,000 dollars, right? Damn, I can build a small h

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

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
