“By ‘evolve,’ what exactly do you mean?” Gabe couldn’t help but ask as he walked toward the poles where children or adults could freely exercise. Because they weren’t used regularly, they were quite rusty now.[You can scrape the rust off using a metal. That’s a hard way to do it. Laser technology will make it much easier, but we’re going to do it in our own way.] Systa said. [Imagine yourself to be a wolf clawing at its prey. Not to injure but scratch them and tear up their skin. Your movements have to be swift and not forced.]As Systa guided him, Gabe assumed his stance and really imagined himself to be a wolf clawing at the poles. His nails scraped the poles and made a bit of the rust fall off.“It worked!” Gabe got excited, but a sharp pain also gripped his fingers. It was so painful that his knees buckled. “Dammit. Why is it so painful?”[The sensors in your fingertips are extremely sensitive, so of course you’d feel pain.] Systa amusedly said. [But as you improve in this techni
Gabe was left shocked by Mia’s words. Systa told him to just get divorced with her because he could find many better women. Gabe, however, went to his aunt and told her that Mia misunderstood her. He asked his aunt to talk to Mia.Nicole called Mia on the phone and told her to come and meet her in her house because she didn’t want to talk in front of Bertha and others.Mia refused initially, but after Nicole requested her to just give her five minutes, Mia agreed.When Mia came home, both Nicole and Gabe were waiting for her.“Mia, you have the right to get angry after what he carelessly did,” Nicole told her, “but he’s not sleeping with Zuri. And from here on, he’ll make sure to not even get near to her. Everybody makes mistakes, so give him a chance.”“I don’t have a problem if he roams with Zuri or someone else,” Mia blurted, still sounding angry. “My only issue is that he should have at least considered his position before doing so. I don’t need to tell what others will think if t
Gabe gave the rented car back to the respective company but then rented a new one. He went to the new location that was shared with him.To his surprise, the destination brought him to the entrance of an underground railroad. There were a few men playing cars nearby. They saw the car, and one of them came to Gabe. “You are Gangsta, aren’t you? You should go inside.”“You mean… into this underground pathway?” Gabe looked confused. “Do you want me to die or what?”“Haha, no, dude. The rails don’t come through this route. If you keep going, you’ll reach the destination in twelve miles. That’s where your match will be held.”“T-Twelve miles?” Gabe was stunned to hear that. “Just how far does this thing go? And why are they conducting my match somewhere that deep underground? I wasn’t even informed about it.”“If you don’t like it, you can just quit,” the man with the cigar casually said. “But you’ll be losing out on your ranking though. Of course, your reputation will also take a hit. Wha
Gabe could not press his foot on the accelerator.“Show me everything related to him and the incident that happened in this tunnel,” Gabe demanded Systa.[Give me a minute. Let me put things together.] Systa used all the pictures and photos available to piece together a story. However, she ended up making multiple stories but not one. Nevertheless, she showed him the one that had the highest probability of having happened. She showed him a video that she had just made.When Gabe saw the video with Systa giving audio when necessary, he was fully drawn into it.The video started with his father, Robert ‘Ray’ Brando, being appreciated by the reporter for rescuing two children. The reporter kept asking the children to smile for the photo, and Robert scolded the reporter for trying to force the children to laugh when they were clearly traumatized and were in no position to even thank anybody, let alone smile for pictures.“So he used a reporter who’s his friend to quickly put the news out,
Gabe pressed the brake pedal as hard as he could. The car skidded and almost hit the barricades that were blocking the path at the corner.The guards holding guns were all alerted by the sudden reckless entrance of Gabe who now stepped out of the car.“State your identity,” one of the guards with a big nose asked, pointing his machine gun at Gabe.“You should point that gun somewhere else, or you’ll regret it,” Gabe coldly uttered.“You bastard. Who do you think you are?” the big-nosed guard raised his voice. “I won’t ask you again. State your identity.”“Stop shouting, and let him pass, you idiot,” the guard captain came over and signaled Gabe to keep walking.Gabe ignored them and walked past them.“Who is that guy, boss?” the big-nosed guard asked the guard captain.“He’s Gangsta, the guy that’s recently messed with the Snake gang,” replied the guard captain.“He messed with the Snake gang?” the big-nosed guard was shocked. “He’s crazy.”“If you had fired your gun, you would have p
Every participant was escorted by beautiful maids. Gabe was given a mask and was told that he could wear it if he wanted.Naturally, Gabe ended up putting the mask on that covered his eyes and nose. The gorgeous maid locked arms with her and took him to the auction site, a magnificently huge hall like one that reminded him of king’s palace halls from history lessons. The patterns on the stone ceilings and walls were too intricate for a human to have designed them.Straight away, Gabe asked Systa a question. “Is it possible for humans to build structures with this level of magnitude and perfection?”[Well, it seems that this hall was built very long ago, probably a few hundred years ago.] Systa opined. [From what I can see, whoever built it used the sound and vibration technology to manipulate the stone in order to create these designs.]“Manipulating the stone with sound?” Gabe didn’t believe it. “That sounds crazy. You’re not trying to feed me with bullshit, are you?”[You will know
At the indoor buffet, there were a thousand different dishes made. Normally, Gabe would have loved to taste all the dishes, especially the desserts and meat dishes. However, after knowing that UTS was likely behind his father’s death, he didn’t feel like even touching a single dish.Even though Rica started eating, Gabe didn’t touch anything.“Are you on a diet, perhaps?” Rica queried.“I have a fight tonight, so I’d rather not stuff myself and upset my stomach,” Gabe responded. It wasn’t a lie.“Your wish. Then how about we go and meet some important people?” Rica took him to a bunch of rich folks and introduced Gabe. None of them interested him, but then all their attention soon shifted to a tall blonde who entered the buffet.“Isn’t that the governor?”“Sir Rubel must have brought her along. Even though she’s more than fifty years old, she doesn’t look like it. I bet so many guys must have chased her when she was young.”As the rich men shamelessly drooled over the blonde lady, Gab
Nobody upped the bidding amount after Rica said 200 million dollars. “The boots of good fortune go to Ms. Rica Agnar,” the auctioneer said. [She’s from the Agnar family?] Systa was surprised. [No wonder nobody dared to bid against her.] “Why? Is the Agnar family that big?” Gabe asked. [Big? That word wouldn’t cut it.] Systa’s voice changed. Gabe could feel some level of tension in her tone now. [Agnar family is one of the three supreme families in the world. I don’t think it’s a good idea to stick around her, Gabe.] “Why? Do you fear the supreme families?” Gabe teased her. [Well, in a sense, yes, because one of their ancestors used to own me just like you do now. And the supreme families are known for hunting people who have the ‘systems’ with them.] Gabe’s heart jumped into his heart. “W-What? Why didn’t you say that sooner?” [Because I didn’t know that woman was part of the Agnar family.] Systa growled. [Out of the three supreme families, Agnar family is specialized in battle
