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
A kick could easily be seen through by even an inexperienced fighter. However, Gabe was not in a position to dodge because Zuri was right behind him. Even though she was in the car, she was still in the line of attack.Gabe was forced to step forward and cross-block the kick before Kirk could fully extend his leg. Still, the kick was powerful enough to push Gabe’s upper body back.“Haa!” Gabe put more strength into his arms and roared. He pushed Kirk’s leg back.Kirk landed on one foot and whipped the same leg at Gabe’s waist.Gabe raised his leg and blocked the kick just in time. “Not so fast, bastard!” He shifted his other foot and thrust the raised leg and viciously struck Kirk’s abdomen, forcing him to take a step back. Though it looked like a normal hit, Kirk felt a sharp pain as if he was pierced by a knife.Zuri, at the same time, purposely showed her cleavage from the window to distract Kirk. It worked only for a second, but in that short time, Gabe lunged forth and rained a f
Oscar shot the bullet without hesitation and thought he had won.Gabe not only dodged the bullet but also covered the distance in a zig-zag manner and caught the gun before Oscar could shoot a second bullet.Gabe overpowered Oscar and easily disarmed him. He went out of his way to shoot at Oscar's foot.“AH! You motherfucker!” Oscar still tried to wrestle with Gabe but was pushed down onto the couch. Oscar tried to kick, but Gabe put another bullet into the thigh, making him cringe in pain. “Krgh! You…”“Being good ain’t easy,” Gabe said, pointing the gun at Oscar’s head. “You deserve to be killed, but I’m holding myself back right now.”“What the fuck do you want from me?” Oscar’s balls trembled, but he still tried not to show any fear.“Now, you are asking the right question,” Gabe’s voice turned somewhat cold. “I came here because you called my friend Zuri over. You should forget about her.”“T-That’s all?” Oscar couldn’t believe it. This guy came all the way and risked so much jus
