Mia felt really cold at night, so much so she had to hug the pillow tightly. She was dreaming, and Gabe’s words were affecting her. She was having strange dreams which lasted until morning.When she woke up, she was puzzled to see that Gabe wasn’t in the room even though the door was still locked from the inside.“W-What happened to him?” Even the washroom’s door was open, so where could he have gone? For a long time, she didn’t even consider him escaping through the window.Mia checked under the bed to see if he was hiding there, but he wasn’t there.“What the…” she scratched her head and began to doubt what had happened last night. “I’m sure we entered the room together last night. He was on the couch when I switched the lights off, too… but… that’s not all me dreaming, or was it? Maybe he never entered the room together with me?” All the thinking only confused her even more.She checked the clock.“Oh, no, it’s already eight? I don’t have much time. I must get ready for the intervi
At ten in the morning.Mia went to a newly built museum because they were taking admissions for the guide. Mia was one among the 54 attendees.Until she went to the museum, she really wanted the job because she was used to working in the museum and believed she could get the job. However, after going there, she only experienced bad things. For instance, she almost slipped and fell at the entrance. She avoided drinking water from a glass after seeing a hair inside. One of the attendees sitting beside her kept sneezing a lot, and they didn’t even cover their nose. It was unbearable for her. Just as she was thinking, her turn came.She went into the HR room, but to her shock, Kiera was inside, for she was a co-owner of the museum.As shocked as Mia was, she quickly collected herself and turned away to leave the room.“Are you sure you want to do that?” Kiera stood from her seat, making Mia stop. “I know you’ve been tricked by someone you believed, but if you ask me, you shouldn’t keep wo
Nicole came home late last night and couldn’t sleep well. Her face, neck, and everywhere the soup fell still felt tender and sensitive to air, let alone touch.She looked for Gabe but couldn’t find him. After checking the time on her mobile, she was stunned because it was three in the afternoon.“I thought I didn’t sleep at all, but so much time has passed.”She also noticed 3 missed calls on her mobile. They were all from the same unknown number. She called the number, and Bjorn answered her call and reminded her that he helped her last night and asked her if she was feeling okay now.Even though Nicole wasn’t in the mood for talking, she still ended up talking for almost fifteen minutes.“Um, can we meet this weekend?” Bjorn braved himself and asked.“Uh, I’m quite busy with my job. I don’t think I can make time.”“I can meet you at the hotel for your work, if it’s possible? We can have dinner after your work is finished?” Bjorn suggested.His words made Nicole think. At this point,
The bank of the pond was filled with all sorts of debris, and the two crocodile brothers were waiting for him just past the thick debris which also contained floating bones and rotten carrions of different creatures.“I will risk my life just as you wish.” Gabe dove into the pond and went to the bottom of the surface straight away before rising up toward the crocodile that first dove its head down to attack him.Gabe punched the water multiple times creating bubbles everywhere to hide himself.The crocodile speared its head through the bubbles, hoping to grab onto the prey, but failed to find the human.Gabe caught the crocodile’s tail from behind. He was thinking of pulling it down so he could smash it on the floor, but the second crocodile came at him with its mouth wide open. Gabe moved away at the last second, and the second crocodile ended up biting the tail of the first crocodile. Even though it bit hard, the tail was still intact. Nevertheless, the first crocodile was hurt. And
“If you’ve really got balls, then come at me!” Gabe’s words somehow annoyed the crocodiles. They propelled themselves at him using a combo technique while bashing each other’s heads to get to Gabe first.“Haa!” Gabe leaped out of the water, somersaulted and stomped on the backs of both the crocodiles. His landing was powerful, but the water helped the crocodiles easily bear the impact. They rolled aggressively, causing Gabe to lose footing.“Shit,” Gabe fell right in the middle. Both crocodiles raised their heads and bashed their bodies into Gabe from either side and at the same time grabbed his body, wherever they could find a grip with their teeth.Both of the crocodiles immediately rolled their bodies in opposite ways. It was an impeccable teamwork of the brothers as they endeavored to defeat the opponent.They thought they had won with that, but what they had actually caught onto was a gibbon’s carrion. It was not fresh meat, so the brothers didn’t fight over it and looked for the
After Systa helped heal Gabe’s foot injury, he was granted part of the abilities of the fish system, using which he jumped into the pond and simply focused on swimming around the pond just to get a feel of his ability.To his great surprise, he was able to feel the electrical pulses that the fish were sending to each other. And he could also make sense of their gestures.Tens of crocodiles chased Gabe, but he magnificently maneuvered himself through them, giving them no chance to catch him.Not all of the pond was dirty. There were parts where the pond was very clean. Gabe spent some time in clean spots as he looked for the crocodile that had escaped from him. It had a bruised back, and he also remembered its scent, so it took less than twenty minutes to find the crocodile.However, that crocodile was currently fighting the other crocodiles, trying to stop them from eating his brother. In that process, it suffered more injuries and was no longer in a position to compete with Gabe.Gab
“Why are you forcing me like this?” Zuri resisted as two big men tried to pull her into the car. “I said I’m not feeling well. I can’t come today. I’ll come some other time.”“You have to come, or you’re going to face severe consequences,” they threatened her. “You will experience things that you’ll come to regret.”“Didn’t you hear what I said? I’m feeling sick, you bastards!” Zuri complained. “Let go of me!”Gabe saw what was going on. He just shook his head and kept walking.[You sure are cold-hearted.] Systa commented.“Hmph, things like these happen in her career, so why should I bother?” Gabe said.However, Zuri saw him and immediately called for help. “Gabe! Help me! These men are taking me to a dangerous place!”“Tsk,” Gabe couldn’t act like he didn’t hear her. He reluctantly stopped and looked back.“Dude, this has nothing to do with you,” one of the two men warned Gabe. “Just go and mind your business. I’m telling this for your own good.”“I’m saying this for your own good,
As the car steadily dashed through the street, Zuri was growing all the more tense.[She looks like she may pee any second.] Systa commented. [You do have a plan, don’t you?]“Nope,” Gabe’s reply shocked Systa. “Actually, I need your help. See if you can find any secret videos on this lawyer. You should be able to find some footage where he’s taking bribes or something.”[Ah-huh, so that’s how you want to shut him up. But it could backfire, you know. If he’s got a big ego, then he won’t be able to sleep until he gets rid of you.]“Then I just have to crush all of his ego in this meeting. Find as much evidence as you can. He should pee in his pants when I show him all the evidence.”[Got it.]Eventually, they reached a private villa built in a vast 300 acres.“Isn’t this the billionaire Johnson’s place?” Zuri asked the driver.“Yeah, but Mr. Oscar is staying here, so we were told to bring you here.”As the car drove on the stone pavement, the dozens of dogs that were there were surroun
