Rory’s intestines felt like they were fried as lightning pierced through his belly. He felt paralyzed and thought this attack left a hole in him, but to his relief, it actually passed through his body.Rory released flames all over his body and resisted the paralysis and managed to free himself rather fast.Gabe, on the other hand, was having trouble recovering fast from his major injuries. “What’s going on with my body? I feel so heavy.”[Ah, I didn’t tell you, but those white flames affect the opponent’s stamina negatively.] Systa said, shocking Gabe. [That’s why you’re going to feel your body growing heavier by the minute. The longer you fight him the more disadvantageous things get.]Gabe ground his teeth. “If he had such a power, why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”[I wanted you to win without my input if possible.] Systa was frank. [Of course, I don’t want you to lose or die, which is why I’m forced to reveal such information to you now.]Systa’s words didn’t help boost Gabe’s m
Gabe finally got his hands on the pristine white ring, but it was unnaturally silent.“Are you going to speak?” Gabe asked. “Or, are you going to force me to force you to speak?”(I don’t accept this defeat!} a jealous, arrogant male voice rang out. {You used various powers of different systems to win against me. This isn’t fair!}“Then, is it fair that I, who's just an adept alpha, has to fight against a Master Omega who has obtained the ring decades ago and has so much more experience than I do?” Gabe asked.{It is. You’re the alpha. He’s only the omega.}“That’s not convincing at all,” Gabe snorted. “I guess you’re not half as honest as Systa?”{Huh? Don’t compare me to that stupid girl!} he growled. {I’m the great omega Ulf! I’m much more experienced and practical than the alpha system which rarely chooses anybody as her owner.}“So you’re called Ulf.”{Hmph. If you want to use me, then you should make that alpha system my subordinate. Otherwise, I won’t listen to you!}[As always
Physically, Gabe never felt better.His senses improved so much he was able to hear the voices of Bertha and William from his own house. He could hear the footsteps of street dogs running a few hundred meters away, and the sounds of their rugged breaths.What he didn’t like, however, was that his sense of smell grew so strong he could smell too many things that he wished he didn’t.More importantly, Gabe casually punched the air, and he could hear his hand whipping through the air. “Does a fifty percent increase in stats boost my punch power to this extent?”[Of course not. It’s because I’ve already begun to install the knowledge of Alpha Arts and Omega Arts in you. When you get some good sleep, your brain will be able to memorize everything and synchronize the information with the rest of your body. When that’s done, your body will go through a great transformation.]“So, you’re saying that my punch power will increase a lot more?”[By leaps and bounds.] Systa assured. [Alpha Arts ar
Sarkar Finance was a decently big company with three owners sharing the profits. All three of them were millionaires, who owned multiple restaurants, bars, and apartments all over the city.Compared to some international finance companies, the Sarkar Finance was nothing, but locally, the owners of the company had great power because of the relationships they had built over the years. They knew not only the mayor but also the chief of the police. Many lawyers would drink with these guys every month.Gabe got all this information with Systa’s help.Systa poked at Ulf’s ego, saying that he would never be able to help Gabe as much as she could. Ulf could only grind his teeth at the moment and say ‘every dog has its day’.Gabe stopped by the Sarkar company building. To his surprise, it was a very small building with no more than five rooms. There were no dogs or security guards at the front, but there were multiple cameras at the front and the back.He asked Systa to deal with the cameras.
Gabe didn’t drive too far away. He stopped the car because he was angry that the police officer recklessly shot at him multiple times.[Why did you stop?] Systa asked. [Do you feel that you didn’t properly deal with the cop?]“Guys like him will attack my family if they can’t get to me,” Gabe said. “I think I will properly warn him this time.”[Why warn? You can just kill him and tell the finance pigs to take care of it.]Gabe didn’t say anything but turned the car around.Meanwhile, the police officer came back into the building and began to yell at Gabe. “Tell me the address of his friend. I’m going to go there and put a bullet in all the people related to him.”“W-What? Are you crazy?” They tried to calm him down. “He must have some kind of backing, so we should first find details about him and then wait for the right moment to strike. Once we act, we shall make it so that he won’t ever be able to fight back.”“I don’t have the patience to wait for that long,” the police officer’s
“Yeah? Then why don’t you go and live in that temple?” Daisy hissed at Gabe, keeping her voice low. “You have no idea how difficult it is to live with him. His life is boring. He stays at that damn store all the time, and on some weekends, he even makes me stand at the counter for hours. Every drunkard that comes along ogles at me, and some pigs even flirt with me, knowing that I’m married. Sometimes, my friends come to the store and pity me. I totally hated that life, which is why I ran away.”“Without even discussing it with him?”“It’s useless. He’s stuck with his own stupid principles. All he has is heart. If only he had the brain to see and fulfill my needs and wishes, I wouldn’t have run away. He was too dumb to see what things I prefer,” Daisy kept on talking. “He couldn’t buy me gold. He put all the profits back into that damn store. Like I said, the only person he truly listens to is himself. A guy like that should have never married.”“Is that why you changed your identity
Gabe returned to Monroe’s home. Monroe was talking with some other friend whom Gabe recognized. It was Baker Bosch, a schoolmate of Gabe.Gabe didn’t even greet him, and Baker didn’t greet him back, either. After seeing Gabe, Baker left as quickly as possible.“Why are you talking with that guy?” Gabe asked Monroe. “He’s a stingy guy. He won’t help you and will only suck money from you. Don’t tell me… you gave him money because he said he’d find Daisy?”“He’s a reporter, so with his connections, it should be possible for him,” Monroe said. “I know you told me to forget about her, but I want to at least talk to her once, eye-to-eye.”“And what? Get spat in your face?” Gabe snorted. “You do remember how Kiera treated me, right? She took our relationship to the wedding and then fucked me in the ass. Daisy is no better. She just broke your heart in a different way, that’s all. It is clear that she chose to live with someone else, so you should give up on her and forge a life of your own s
Russell’s car stopped at Gabe’s house. Nicole kept shaking her head. “You tricked me. You are really Gabe’s friend.”“Haha,” Russell lightly laughed. “To be honest, I wanted to talk to you so I’d know your perspective about the restaurant since you’re still new. And new inputs are what make a business survive through time. And I must say, I got a few more ideas thanks to you. Your plastic removal idea was also good. Most restaurants might not be able to afford such changes and sustain their business, but I can.”“You’re giving me too much credit, sir. I’m just a lowly woman.”“No. You’re a chef in my restaurant, and more than that, you’re the mother of my friend. So, you’re not lowly. Please don’t lower yourself like that,” Russell’s voice contained some level of authority this time.Nicole forced out a smile. “You’ve come a long way. Please drink coffee at my house.”Russell checked his watch. “Ah, sorry,” he was quick to deny. “It’s already eight o’clock. I must go home quickly, or
