Gabe didn’t get what he wanted. His provocation didn’t work. He couldn’t get another match because nobody accepted his challenge.Every Skinner there had matches arranged, so they didn’t want to go out of their way to accept Gabe’s challenge.In the end, Gabe walked out of the ring. Rica had other matches to play as a referee, but she quickly came over to Gabe who was in the room behind the stage and said, “I think you should watch the other matches. Maybe you’ll learn a thing or two from them.”“Are you indirectly suggesting that I should watch you?” Gabe asked frankly.Rica smirked. “What makes you think that way?”“Your uniform is basically a bikini, and it makes your ass hang out,” Gabe remarked boldly. “If you had a boyfriend, I don’t think you’d be wearing these types of clothes. So, I’m guessing you’re looking for a boyfriend?”“What about? Don’t you like women with shorts and high heels?” she asked, bringing her face a bit too close for comfort.“The blonde I fell for and date
Bjorn had reserved the entire fourth floor for an hour, between nine to ten, for himself. And he waited for Nicole to arrive.When she came, she was slack-jawed to see that there were no other customers, except for Bjorn. And the table before him was also massive with at least thirty dishes for choosing. She had no idea that this much preparation was being put by Bjorn. “D-Did I keep you waiting?”Bjorn got up from his chair and received her with a smile. “What kind of a man wouldn’t wait for a woman he had asked to come? Do you want to sit across the table or beside me?”“I-I’ll sit across,” she said. “It only seems about 8 feet apart.”They sat down, and multiple waiters served them after asking for their choice. Nicole had never received such a treatment before, so she was still very reserved.After seeing how elegantly Bjorn was eating, she couldn’t help but ask, “I didn’t know you were rich.”“Why? Do you have an aversion to rich men?” he asked back.“No, but… nevermind.” Nicole
“Keke, how long are you going to keep dancing with your clothes on?”“Yeah, take them down for us so we can see the goods.”As the four guys were busy staring at the laptop, they heard the waters move in the back, but they didn’t care.Moments later, the soft noises were replaced by rougher noises which were then replaced by the angry snorts of crocodiles that sent shivers up and down their spines.They quickly turned on the flashlights, only to see crocodiles rushing out of the pond. Like they had seen ghosts, they threw the flashlights away and ran for their lives, even forgetting to pick up the laptop.When the lady on the screen wondered what was going on and came closer, she saw a crocodile up close to the camera and screamed in horror.Systa got a good laugh out of all this while Gabe was sitting on top of a tree. The crocodiles looked for him everywhere, but in the end, they couldn’t find him and went back into the pond after destroying the laptop with a tail swing.“I’ve done
Vyse’s provocation didn’t anger Gabe. Instead, his mind kept thinking back on Vyse’s kick, where Vyse used the knee joint to throw a feint and then deal a great deal of damage with the following ‘real’ kick.Gabe had experienced many feints during his practice matches in the park, or in the UTS matches, but no one had ever made a feint with a kick before. It felt so innovative and masterful Gabe couldn’t help appreciate it because throwing feints in kicks was much more difficult after all.Gabe’s ear was still ringing, but he was somewhat able to hear Vyse’s words. Nevertheless, he didn’t let Vyse’s provocation get to his mind. He patiently stood and got his breath under control. This helped him better bear the pain in his ear.“I’ll first defeat you with my eyes open,” Gabe lunged forth.{Coming straight at me? Tsk! Tsk!} Vyse seemed disappointed. {Did you forget what I’m capable of?}Gabe jumped and thrust a kick straight in Vyse’s chest. However, Vyse didn’t budge a single inch. Th
Gabe had no idea how much time had passed, but he couldn’t open his eyes. He began to hear voices around him.Vyse and Systa were talking about many things, mostly about other systems. In the end, their conversation shifted to talking about Gabe.[So, do you want to serve him or not?] Systa asked Vyse.{Even an animal knows when to back away in a fight.] Vyse said. {But this guy doesn’t. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.}[You should know that there are times when humans don’t back away from a fight even after knowing that they’ll lose.] Systa explained. {Even animals do that sometimes.]{Maybe, but I don’t like to follow this guy. I think I can do better when I’m alone.}[So you feel like you won’t be used well when you’re with me, huh…] Systa sighed. [Fine. I’ll let you go if you help him train.]{No problem, though I think he might be afraid of me.}[Haha, you’re underestimating him too much.] Systa angrily laughed. [He may not have anywhere near as much battle expe
Draco and Joshua didn’t know what to do.Joshua was shivering outside the store as he was afraid of how his parents would react if they were to know that the car was stolen. Moreover, Joshua was only eight years old, and he came outside without his parents knowing. It suddenly dawned upon him that he didn’t have a single good thing to tell his parents.“3000 dollars…” Draco, on the other hand, was just in disbelief. “I could have used that as pocket money for a year at least.”“You are worried about 3000 dollars when my car itself was stolen?” Joshua growled at him.“We lost the gaming gear, too. What should we do?” Draco asked. “Can you tell your parents what happened?”“No way.” Joshua didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t even think straight at the moment. He was still shivering enough that it looked like he might faint any second. “I’m foolish. We should have come in the morning. It’s Saturday tomorrow. If we had waited another day, we would have come here on Sunday.” He started cry
Bjorn and Nicole spent almost two hours at the restaurant. As they were coming out, Bjorn’s son, Sekel Hemsey, noticed them from his car, which was actually Gabe’s dark olive Lamborghini.He didn’t like what he saw.“You didn’t marry anybody until now. You didn’t even date anybody, so what the hell are you doing now? What changed so suddenly… Dad?”Sekel didn’t want his father to date much less marry someone because he didn’t want his dad’s wealth to go to waste. To this day, he always thought that his dad’s wealth fully belonged to him. If some random woman were to marry Bjorn and give birth to a child, then Sekel would lose a lot of money.“I have to find out about that gold digger as soon as possible.” He followed their car. “To think he’s taking her in his car. Is he heading to some hotel?” Sekel grew more and more frustrated. Moreover, it proved to be a long chase.After traveling for an hour, Bjorn’s car stopped. Nicole stepped out and said, “This is my house.”Bjorn just smiled
The next morning.Gabe was looking at the silver ring in his palm. “How will you travel on your own?”{Many systems can’t do that, but I can.} Vyse proudly said.“Yeah. But how?” Gabe couldn’t help but ask.{You’re not that smart, are you?}A vein popped on Gabe’s forehead. “If you don’t want to answer, then just get lost!” he threw the ring into the distance. He had no issue doing that after taking so many hits from Vyse over the night.The ring fell in the pond and reached the bottom, where a crocodile had its mouth open. The ring fell in its mouth.[He can lower his weight to that of a feather and can travel through the wind.] Systa told Gabe.“Ah, I see. Now I get it,” Gabe somewhat calmed down. “Ahem, anyway, now you have some of those powers, right?”[Yes. You can use them, too, but you need to practice first, or you’ll end up killing people.]“Yeah,” Gabe completely understood her statement. If he were to punch someone while his weight was equivalent to ten thousand kilos, then
