System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 21
Gabe was heading out of the house, but right outside the door, he saw a couple of bones. He immediately recognized them. They were the thigh bones of a rooster.Gabe gritted his teeth in rage. William probably left these at his doorstep to further anger him, he thought. Maybe, Bart made William do it. It didn’t matter. He hated both the father and son to the core.“How could they do this…” his hands curled into tight balls.Just then an old man came to his house with a big book in his hand.“Excuse me, sir, I came to collect the property tax, water tax, and sewage tax,” he introduced himself to Gabe. “Erwin Woods, the house is in his name, and the tax for the past three years hasn’t been paid.”“H-How much do we have to pay in total?” Gabe asked, his heart starting to pick up speed.He adjusted his glasses and took a look at the record book. “All taxes included, it’s just 6325 dollars.”Gabe’s heart exploded. “WHAT?! Why is it so much?”“It’s for three years, sir.”“I know, but… It’s

“This is a private hall,” one of the guards blurted. “It ain’t for beggars. Turn around and leave.”“Beggar?” Gabe frowned. He knew he didn’t come wearing dashing clothes, but how could they mistake him for a beggar. “I-I’m not a beggar.”“You can’t fool us with your poor lies,” another guard grabbed him and tried to take him to the side.“W-Wait!” Gabe raised the envelope in his hand. “I have an invitation card.”“You think I’ll fall for that?” the guard took a look at the pink wedding card, and his eyes widened. He quickly took it and checked the contents inside. He looked at Gabe in mild shock. “Wait here a second,”saying that he rushed to the other guards and told them. “This guy has the VIP wedding card.”“You’re kidding, right? How could he have that card that’s only given to those who’re at least millionaires?” the guards found it hard to believe that Gabe actually brought a VIP wedding card with him. “Maybe one of the actual guests lost his card or something, and then this guy

The walkway was lit with lights and artificial plants in a sequence. The pavement was carpeted by flowers, and so Gabe picked his sandals up and walked on his bare feet so he could feel the softness of the flower petals with his own feet. And he loved it.Some of the people passing who were already giving him weird looks now had their faces scrunch and make more distance from him.“Soft pink flowers… I don’t know their name, but they feel so soft, and they smell nice, too.”He didn’t even feel like entering the wedding hall because he loved walking on this pavement. It was so soothing and comfortable, so he kept going to and fro.One of the guests complained to a guard inside, and this guard spotted Gabe and was coming to him.But then Mia’s family just went past Gabe. None of them even stopped for a second, except for Mia.“Hey…” Mia patted Gabe’s shoulder as he was busy looking at the flowers. “What are you doing here?”“Nothing. I’m just…” Gabe was casually replying, thinking it wa

Kiera brought Gabe over to Zack and said, “He’s Gabe. I told you about him, you remember?”“Yes, I do,” Zack politely shook Gabe’s hand. “You’re the guy who almost took my future wife away from me.”“Haha,” Kiera chortled a little, but Gabe didn’t feel like smiling. Still, he forced out a smile.“Let’s take a group picture,” Kiera said.Gabe along with Mia and her family together stood with Zack and Kiera for the pictures.And then, Mia and her family were getting down the stage. Gabe was also leaving, but Kiera grabbed his hand. “Wait, Gabe. Didn’t you bring any gift for me?” she asked him rather loudly, which he didn’t like. “Did you forget to bring it onto the stage?”Gabe pursed his lips and quickly came closer and pecked her cheek, startling everyone on stage, including Kiera and Zack.Mia and her family couldn’t see what happened because they were getting down the stage; however, many guests noticed it and began to whisper.Kiera controlled herself from fuming at Gabe and shower

Everyone was shocked by what Mia had done.“You bitch!” The young man’s friends fumed at Mia. If not for Gabe suddenly jumping in and standing before her, they would have probably attacked her already. “Do you know who we are and who this man is? He’s the only heir of Fred Fashions. His dad has a networth close to 80 million dollars.”“So what?” Mia indifferently replied. “How much of that 80 million is actually earned by this great friend of yours?”None of the five friends replied to that question, but the guy who got curry thrown in his face just wiped it away with his kerchief and smiled at Mia. “You… I like women with guts like you. Why don’t you be my girlfriend?”Gabe was shocked by his response.“No,” Mia was quick to reply. “You wish.”“Haha,”he took out a visiting card. “I’m Ron Fredinand. You can give me a call whenever you want.” He tried to give the card to her, but she didn’t take it, so he put it in Gabe’s pocket.Gabe wanted to throw the card away, but he couldn’t do s

“How is the food, Gabe?” Kiera asked in a lovely and friendly tone.Gabe put his doubts aside and responded with a thumbs-up.“I’m glad you like it,” she said and then hesitantly asked, “Can I ask you a favor?”“A favor?” Gabe was surprised. “What can I do for you?”“The thing is… we planned a musical and dancing event on the rooftop of the hall,” Kiera explained. “Even the mayor’s son is going to come. There should be a large teddy bear leading the dance and entertaining the guests, but the guy who’s supposed to play that role is ill right now, so…”“Wait, you want me to dance in his place?” Gabe shook his head. “No, no, no.”“You can dance, right?” Kiera remembered him dancing pretty good back when they were dating. He used to clean the floor and work in a dance school for almost six years, and he freely picked up on many dance styles.“It’s been years since I danced,”Gabe explained. “And I’m full right now. I don’t think I can dance. I really want to help, but I’m sorry.”“It’s not

“Miss,” the teddy bear reached out for Mia’s hand but didn’t touch her. “You should join us.”Mia was pleasantly surprised.”M-Me? No, no, no. No thank you.”“Are you sure?” the teddy bear slowly reached out for her hand, making her heart race. “Because I’ll make sure that the wine won’t spill.”Whether it was his weirdly familiar voice or his charming words, Mia couldn’t resist for some reason. She let him grab her hand, and before she knew it, he pulled her in the flow of the music, and her body moved along. Mia never danced in her life. At best, she tapped her foot to the music. That was all she had in terms of experience, but now, she felt so comfortable as the teddy bear led her and made her dance along effortlessly.The crowd mimicked them and moved along in couples as well. Draco, however, couldn’t find a partner to dance with, which frustrated him to no end. His mother was occupied. Even his grandmother was occupied. He truly had no one to dance with. So he got angry and stoppe

Mia wanted to talk with the teddy bear and thank him, but before she could collect her emotions and talk with him, he rushed downstairs.“Why’s he in such a hurry to leave?” she wondered, not knowing that Gabe had been controlling his bladder from bursting while dancing. Nevertheless, Mia went to Kiera and asked, “Who was the guy in the costume?”Kiera paused for a second and said, “It’s Hector. He’s a great dancer, isn’t he?”“Yes. He was so good. I can’t believe he made me dance,” Mia excitedly said. “Now I feel like I can dance if I try.”“Haha,” Kiera laughed a little. She purposely lied about the guy in the costume because she didn’t want Mia to get close to Gabe for obvious reasons. She didn’t want Gabe to end up with someone like Mia.“Um, do you have his number?” Mia asked. “I want to thank him and perhaps give him a treat if possible.”“He’s a great dancer, but he’s not a good man, Mia,” Kiera advised. “I think it’s best if you just forget about him.”“I-Is that so?” Mia felt

“Whoever manages to defeat that ‘worthless’ brat will get to keep the omega system.”The moment Gabriel Agnar uttered those last few words, all the nine standing members of the Jaguar squad rushed toward Gabe without a shred of hesitation.They were all elite warriors his grandfather had commanded, all intent on claiming the power that lay still dormant within Gabe."Stand down, brat," the third ranker Bennie called out, her voice layered with authority. "You cannot hope to win against us. Surrender, and you may yet find mercy."“You monsters who are ganging up on me, do you even know what mercy means?” Gabe retorted and countered Fang with a punch.Surprisingly, Gabe’s punch seemed simple but the weight it had was tremendous. Fang was pushed back.But at the same time Stark kicked Gabe’s face.Once again, Stark expected Gabe to be sent flying, but Gabe took the attack without even moving an inch.And it was Stark who frowned in response.Zephyr raised his hand, stopping others from

“It’s time to return,” Gabriel Agnar said, and these few words changed the body language of all the squad members.In that moment, they let their guard dawn, a small figure dashed in through their ranks and attacked their patriarch Gabriel.Gabriel saw through the first feint and responded accordingly, but the second attack also turned out to be a feint just to distract him so that they could pluck the severed hand out of Gabriel’s hand.And they managed to grab the hand, but no amount of pulling was enough to get the severed hand out of the old man’s grip.Everyone was startled after seeing the young kid who gave off an ethereal energy, which they could sense.This young kid was none other than Ulf.“What do you think you’re doing, kid?” Gabriel asked him.“Ha-ha, good afternoon,” Ulf replied awkwardly, “or is it evening now?” He grew triple in size and clenched his fists. “Omega Arts Secret Move…” He threw in a straight punch at Gabriel’s chest. “Final Fist!”Gabriel took the attack

At Russell’s estate.Zephyr, the head of the Jaguar Squad, struck Gabe’s chest with his palm. A shockwave burst through his chest and ripped the back of Gabe’s shirt in the shape of Zephyr's palm.Gabe coughed out a lot of blood, and his eyes nearly turned white. He was about to fall back.Zephyr caught Gabe’s throat and squeezed it. “If I kill you, then the Alpha System will be ours.”“Gabe!” Mia ran toward him. “No!”“Where do you think you’re running?” Pixie, the number five, blurted. Her green hair extended forth like tree vines and sought to capture Mia.Mia moved swiftly and dodged a few vines, but the hair grew branches like trees, and they were sharp enough to pierce through Mia’s body.Her torso and limbs were riddled with many thin holes.She bled from the nose and mouth and couldn’t move at all. She felt completely frozen.Pixie pulled the hair out and retracted them. Mia fell to her knees.Seeing all this, Gabe’s blood thrummed beneath his skin. His heart pounded with the c

CHAPTER 490
In ancient times, serpents had wings and feet, and they were called by many names. One of those kinds were also called Dragons.So, dragons were indeed serpents with wings and legs. Even in the modern day, dragons were worshiped in some places. Some martial arts were derived from dragons, too.However, Alleria’s martial arts were not related to dragons but of a different serpent kind, whose existence had been erased from history..When Alleria was young, she spent her time in the woods, and the most difficult enemies she faced were the monstrous serpents that lived in that forest. This made her wonder just how much stronger would the serpents be if they had legs, too, as they did in the past.This led Alleria to search through her clan’s library and find the ancient serpent art books. And she picked one that she believed would be the most challenging.And thanks to her collective efforts, she managed to become the head of one of the Eight Enigma Squads, the Serpent Squad.The Ancient S

Alleria was sent flying through multiple walls, and she ended up crashing into the tables of the precious customers.“That hurts…” Alleria’s cheek bruised, and she bled from a corner of her mouth.“W-Who are you?” The customers were all shocked because this woman was wearing armor underneath her cloak, and there was even a short sword at her waist. “Are you a cosplayer?”“Who was that little girl?” Alleria got back up, looking quite irritated because her cloak was dirtied by the food, so she had to remove it. She looked sturdy despite her age, and she was nearly six feet tall. Many men in that hall hadn’t seen such a well-built woman with attractive looks like that before. “Call herself as my grandmother,” she cracked her neck, releasing the gas bubbles from the joints in her spine, “let’s see if you’ve really got what it takes to utter such words.”She rushed into the bathroom, but to her surprise, Systa and Nicole were gone.“What?” Alleria frowned. “I didn’t see them leave.

Nicole was getting out of the taxi, but Systa held her hand and stopped her. “I’m not feeling the urgency anymore. Can we go somewhere else now?”Nicole couldn’t make sense of Systa’s words. The little girl was struggling until seconds ago, and she’s fine now? Something didn’t feel right. Whether Systa was playing games or not, Nicole didn’t want to take the risk. “I’m taking you to the toilet room once.”“Ugh,” Systa hissed at her. “Listen to me.”Nicole was startled. “Did you just hiss at me? And why are you gritting your teeth?”“Because you don’t understand the trouble that you’re in!” Systa blurted. “Driver, turn the car around and get going.”The driver, however, looked at her with a silly expression as if Systa was not the one who’s going to pay him for the ride.Systa didn’t like that the driver was treating her as a little girl. She wished she could show her powers to him, but because of Nicole, she had to hold herself back.“Can you wait here for half an hour for us?” Nicole

Nicole finished her work in the hotel and walked out with Systa who was in the form of a little girl now.“Why do you look like that?” Nicole asked her.“Look like what?” Systa asked her back.“Look like you’re weighing life's burdens on your shoulders?” Nicole said.“I was just thinking about something,” Systa replied.Nicole picked her up onto her waist.“W-What are you doing?” Systa quickly said, her cheeks flushing. “This is embarrassing. Put me down.”“Get used to it,” Nicole pinched Systa’s cheeks. “You know, I watched Gabe grow, but I missed watching a girl grow. I didn’t have a daughter, you see. So, I feel like keeping you with me for as long as possible.”“S-Stop pulling my cheeks!” Systa found it annoying because her skin was not perfectly authentic human-standard.“Stop acting like that,” Nicole stopped pulling the cheek and gently rubbed it. “You’re a girl, so you’re going to raise kids one day.

In Sciocidad, also known as the phantom city which floated through the sky also known as the lower heaven.At the border, Russell and Jessica were talking with a mature lady whose name they didn’t even know. All he knew was that she was the librarian of the clan that lived in this city.“My goal is to stop another world war from happening,” Russell told her. “If a war breaks out again, then the world really is going to end.”“Silly young man,” the lady named Uzza smiled, “the third world you were worrying about has long started and is still ongoing.”“W-What?” Russell was startled.“Food, air, water, and even people’s very blood has been polluted for decades now and it’s still happening today,” Uzza said. “We see a lot of chemicals being sprayed in the air through special jets. There are nanoparticles, graphene, and even parasites in those chemicals, which will mix with water, food, and can even enter people’s bodies through their skin.

“It’s one thing that James lost, but for Atarah to lose to this brat…” The number one ranker of the Jaguar Squad, Stark, spoke. “This is quite shameful.”“Indeed,” Fang, the second ranker, opined. “I feel a little embarrassed since I’ve trained James for over a month now. For him to lose without even taking an opponent’s limb is quite disappointing. I hope he’s not dead.”“James is the last ranker, the number 10 of the squad,” the zeroth ranker and the head of the Jaguar Squad, Zephyr, replied. He had a sharp mustache and was cleanly shaven. “He’s the weakest, but Atarah is the ranked fourth in the squad, and she let her younger comrade lose. So, she failed both as a teammate and as an individual fighter. She needs to be punished for her mistakes later. But for now…” He glanced at the number five ranker, who was a green-headed female, Pixie.Pixie stepped forth and treated Atarah’s injury with her vivre. It was as though she was conducting surgery with her vivre, using it as needles to
