System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 229
When Mia told Gabe that Brendon Carillo, the mayor’s son, had given her a job, she saw a rather confused and cute reaction on Gabe’s face.Gabe blinked a couple of times. “W-What? Why did he give you a job? What job?”Mia smiled faintly. “Some stupid job, which I rejected.”“You rejected?” Gabe couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes. “I knew it. You are smart. That’s why you didn’t fall for his bullshit. Nothing’s free in this world, Mia. If he’s helping you and your family, then he must be up to something.”“Ah-huh,” Mia glanced sideways at him. “Then what about you? What are you up to?”“Uh… I already told you my goal, didn’t I?” Gabe tried to be as straightforward as possible. “That’s why I leased a store for five years so that I can get Freddy and his wife on track, but I didn’t think they’d act like rich kids who are only entitled to the best kind of jobs. What am I supposed to do with the store now? I feel so stupid right now.”“Your intention was good, but you should have at least

Though Systa suggested that dealing with Medusa as quickly as possible was necessary, she still advised Gabe to first get used to his new abilities such as the Alpha Arts and the Omega arts.So, Gabe spent a few hours in the Woods park, training himself in the arts. Once Systa was confident enough in his skills, she gave the green signal.[You are now ready to fight her.] Systa said. [Let’s trace her. Activate your sensory functions through alpha arts.]Gabe had all the required information drilled into his brain. All he needed to do was execute the thoughts. He did various exercises in quick successions, and his five senses received a monstrous boost.His sense of hearing improved so much he was able to hear even the movements of the wind, and the sound of his sweat droplet falling down through the air. He could feel the presence of the tens of thousands of ants that were roaming about in the park, and the few rats that scampered here and there.However, unlike before, he didn’t feel

Somewhere in the city, Britney, mostly known as Medusa, was drinking at a bar. A handsome guy had been hitting on her ever since she entered the bar.She waved her finger at him. Smiling, he walked over to her with a glass of wine in hand. She saw the ring on his hand and said, “A married man like you shouldn’t be hitting on other women now, should he?”“What can I do? I’m a sinner,” he smirked. “And so are you, since you’ve come to a shitty bar like this.”“Heh,” she snickered a little. “Do you want to go to hell? That place is full of sinners.”“If by hell, you mean your house, then yes, I’m fully willing,” he whispered to her. Her eyes shone slightly red. And he was magnetized by her. She got up from her seat and walked away, saying, “Pay the bill and follow me.”He quickly put his purse on the table and followed her, leaving the bar owner a bit speechless and a lot happy because that was a lot of money for the wine they consumed.Medusa took him to a dark alley where there was no

“So you tell me now… What made me sick? Motherfucker!” Medusa’s eyes shone in the dark. She didn’t know for how long he had been observing her, so she couldn’t just attack him straight away. “What do you know?”“Only two kinds of people give excuses,” Gabe said in a normal voice after realizing that she was able to perfectly hear him despite being far away. “Lazy people and those who have things to hide. It’s obvious that you belong to the second category. So, I’m not going to trust anything that comes out of your mouth.”“So, you don’t agree with my words that there’s so much sickness in the world,” Medusa coldly blurted, getting closer with every step she took forward. “Just the other day, I bought some ‘fresh’ apples at a store,” she said. “Yes, I buy things, too, because I lead a double life. But those apples smelled like petroleum to me. I did some research and found out that these ‘smart fresh’ apples were being treated with petroleum-derived gasses to keep them appearing fresh

Medusa couldn’t stay calm after Gabe left. She kept walking aimlessly on the streets, thinking of what to do next.“He’s definitely not ordinary. But if he’s not a vampire, then what is he? I have to find out what his powers are exactly, and for that I’ll need some expendable men whom he can’t trace back to me,” she thought. “The Men in Blood should be perfect for this.”Men in Blood was a secret assassination organization where the members were brainwashed from a young age and were trained to kill and do any mission given to them as long as they were paid appropriately. The best part about this organization was that the members forgot the details of their previous missions and only looked forward to the upcoming missions. Even if they were caught in the act, they would never spill a single bean. So, they were considered as perfect assassins. The way to recognize them was by their nails were all painted in red with blood, which was why their name Men in Blood came to be.“Though it’ll

Systa wanted Gabe to train with the crocodiles for this night, but Gabe had other plans. He spent the entire night doing one thing and one thing only.The next morning.He woke Nicole up and told her to brush her teeth and freshen up. She didn’t know what he was up to, but she did what he told. And then he took her to a store. There was a ribbon tied at the door.Nicole looked at him. “What’s this?”Gabe smiled and gave her a scissor.“W-Wait…” Nicole’s eyes widened. “Don’t tell me… you bought this grocery store?”“I leased it for five years, Mom,” Gabe said. “I’ll hire someone to watch over the store when I’m not around.”“Gabe…” Nicole didn’t look too happy. “You should have told me before you did something like this.”“D-Do you not like it?”“It’s not about liking or disliking…” Nicole could see the inside of the store. All the products she kept seeing on the shelves didn’t please her. “I worked in grocery stores before. They do all kinds of things for profit. For instance, they bu

Gabe patiently waited for ten minutes. “She’s taking so long,” he mumbled to himself.Just then, Draco sneaked up on him and grabbed his hand. Gabe reacted swiftly and axed his hand down onto Draco’s head. He suddenly stopped it at the last second, or Draco would have been struck dead with that blow.Still and all, Draco almost wet his pants from that.“What do you want?” Gabe asked.However, Draco forgot what he came to ask Gabe’s help for. He was just still too scared by what happened. Gabe was not an expert with the children to realize that.“If you don’t have anything to say, then go back to your room,” Gabe hissed.Draco silently went back to his room.At the same time, Mia opened the door and stepped out, wearing a beautiful cream-colored gown that looked so good on her Gabe kept staring at her. It was a simple gown, but the minimal golden designs on it brought a depth to the clothing. “You look so pretty,” Gabe ended up saying these words after hesitating for a couple of second

Gabe ate the rest of the cake while reading the accounts book. With the help of Systa, he was able to read more than ten books in less than half an hour.“With this, I don’t have to worry about resuming the trade with the current dealers,” Gabe thought, “as long as they wish to continue the relationship with this store.”[Why wouldn’t they?] Systa blurted. [They are going to think of you as a newbie shopkeeper, so make sure to teach those punks a lesson.”“Huh… I just realized that I ended up becoming a middle man that I hate,” Gabe sighed.[What are you talking about?]“Well, Mom told me that I need to be crafty to manage this store, didn’t she?” Gabe uttered. “That’s because most shopkeepers profit a lot off of every item they sell. Nowadays, the retail price printed on the products has lost its credibility, so there are people selling things for crazy prices every time there’s some fluctuation in the market. I’ve seen some shopkeepers rise from lowly men to owners of three floored

Gabe and Mia were falling down from miles high.Gabe’s legs were still wrapped around Mia’s waist, so their fall was rather awkward.“If we crash like this, both will get injured,” she quickly said.“I-I will do something,” Gabe resisted the urge to grab her cheeks and kiss her in midair, but he believed that this opportunity might not come again.So, he quickly went in for a kiss.Mia put her hand on his mouth. “This isn’t the time!”Just then, her eyes widened as she saw people jumping from the ship that was above them.“Shit. I think we’ve been spotted,” Mia nervously said. “We have to escape.”“Leave it to me,” Gabe smirked and then tightly hugged her.“What are you-” Before she could finish her sentence, Gabe turned into a streak of lightning and traveled through the sky in a zig-zag manner.Within seconds, he crossed tens of miles and landed on a tree top.All the twelve warriors were startled by the speed at which Gabe had traveled.Nevertheless, they used their flying boots to

At a sea port.Gabe and Mia were hiding behind tall rocks at the shore and were observing the people shoot laser bullets at the sea beasts and then bring their bodies to the shore.They harvested crystals out of their bodies, which leaked out a strange but familiar energy.“I have never seen such creepy sea monsters, and what are those weapons?” Mia was a little nervous. “There are laser weapons in this world? I thought it was just fiction.”“They don’t just rely on weapons,” Gabe pointed. “Look over there.”A muscular old man with spiky hair punched a giant serpent monster and put a massive hole in its head.Mia’s eyes swelled out of the sockets. “H-He killed that monster from just the wind pressure emitted from his fist? He’s the real monster here!”“Yeah. He’s pretty strong,” Gabe opined. “I’m not sure if we can beat him even if we fight him together.”“But if we want to enter Syslon, we have to board their ship,” Mia said. “That’s what Ulmer said.”“I know, but can we sneak into h

Gabriel Agnar stopped by a motel.Systa looked a bit dull.“Bring her tea,” Gabriel looked at Alleria who had a bandage wrapped around her head.Alleria frowned but didn’t complain.“To think this little girl is really the Alpha System,” Alleria was still finding it hard to believe. “But, Lord, just so you know, she didn’t beat me. She created a clone of hers and tricked me into fighting the clone.”“You still let her take the woman away, didn’t you?” Gabriel calmly said. “It was your loss. Doesn’t matter how it comes.”“Ugh…” Alleria couldn’t talk after that.She went to the motel owner and asked, “Give us some tea.”“We don’t sell tea here.”Alleria hit the thick wooden bench with her palm and left an imprint there.“I-I’ll get the tea ready in ten minutes,” the motel owner nervously said.“I’ll give you five minutes.”“I-It’s impossible to get it done in five minutes, ma’am.”“Go,” she coldly growled, and he ran to the neighboring convenience store to buy tea bags and milk.Meanwhi

Gabriel grew much angrier after Gabe and Mia disappeared right before his eyes.He put more power into his fist and threw it at Ulmer who was under such pressure he was not able to move.A streak of red lightning flew into the scene and wrapped itself around Gabriel’s fist and stopped his fist in its tracks.“Mm?” Gabriel and Ulmer both looked to their side, where a red-haired woman was standing atop a nearly uprooted tree.She was giving off a ridiculous amount of energy.She looked like she was the embodiment of a million thunderbolts. She looked almost ethereal.“A wolfe clan’s girl?” Gabriel uttered.“The wolfe clan?” Ulmer seemed surprised. This was also his first time directly coming into contact with a person from the wolfe clan since he became the Urban God. “The strongest clan in the world… You came at the right time. Let’s together beat this old man up.”“Hmph,” the red-haired lady descended from the tree almost in a floating manner. “I didn’t come here to take sides. Both o

Both Mia and Gabe were being pressured to hug the ground. Some kind of invisible force as heavy as many mountains was crushing them, making it feel as if their bones would turn to powder under pressure.Gabe gnashed his teeth and tried his best to resist. He was only able to barely move one of his fingers, though.This can’t be real.He thought he had become strong, strong enough to at least stand his ground at those who are at the top of the world.Even though Systa wasn’t with him right now, and even though he wasn’t at his full strength, how could he be toyed like this?How could he not be able to resist the head of the Agnar clan even a little?How can there be such a huge power difference?As he gave it his all to just try and get back, Willow didn’t wait for him.She went for the kill.“I’ll break your wife’s skull right before your eyes, boy!” She axed her foot down at Mia’s head.Mia wanted to move away, but she couldn’t, and she looked more frustrated than afraid that she was

Gabe’s attack kept all the four squad leaders at bay as the electricity that washed through their bodies did not leave to the ground.Instead, it stayed in their bodies, trying to cook them alive.They had to resist the lightning energy with their ethereal energies.At the same time, Mia was able to push Willow back, though her leg suffered a deep cut in the process.Half of her bone was also cut, but she was healing at a fast pace.Regardless, Mia wasn’t worried about these opponents right now because the lightning energy of Gabe was also filling her body.However, it did not hurt her.But it made her feel stronger, and she began to feel Gabe’s presence all the more. Not just his presence, but all the things he had done in the past were popping in her mind.So many new memories poured into her mind.From the memories of his childhood to recent incidents, all the strong memories of his life played in her mind like a fast-moving dream.Some of these memories really squeezed her soul.S

“This is the end, youngling,” Willow turned into ten thousand different clones which looked like a giant swarm of illusion moving toward Gabe. “Phantom Dance!”All the figures of Willow attacked him in different styles all at once.It looked like Gabe’s entire body was burst to pieces.“It’s over already?” Fang snickered. “Heh, who gets to keep the omega system now?”“It’s not over,” Stark frowned. “Didn’t you see that flash of light?”“What flash?” Fang looked at Stark. “Did you see something that I didn’t?”Zephyr arrived where they were. “He used his lightning ability to move fast… so fast that my eyes also barely followed it.”“How the hell did he move that fast all of a sudden?” Fang frowned. “Where is he now?”Willow put her sword on her shoulder and looked down at the park miles below, a corner of her lips slightly curling up as she saw Gabe standing behind Mia now.“He released a burst of lightning at the last second. I thought he was defending himself, but he used it to pull

Gabe could feel what happened to Mia, that she was sent flying down to the earth.He wanted to go and help her, but Stark and Fang kept him occupied.The narrow and precise attacks of Stark constantly targeting Gabe’s head were messing with his sense of distance.Fang also stayed closed and made sure to mess with Gabe’s timing by throwing attacks that unpredictably supported Stark.Clearly, they were seasoned fighters who didn’t put a single foot wrong.Even Gabe, who wasn’t much of an experienced fighter, could tell that these two had fought each other and together many times before.Otherwise, such perfect coordination might not be possible.“If I can’t overpower them with technique, I have to do it through other means…” Gabe leaked electricity into the cloud, which reflected it back at Stark and Fang, forcing them to fend off from these sudden attacks.“He’s able to use not just the ground but also the clouds to his advantage,” Fang harrumphed. “How annoying. Even though I’m covered

More than two decades ago.“I understand about the alpha system, but why does the Patriarch want to find the luna system, too?” Zephyr was asking his squad commander at the time who was his own aunt.“He wanted to give it to his wife or his daughter, maybe?” Zephyr’s aunt said while smoking from a pipe.“Why?”“Haha, why you ask? Because it’s known to be the best support system,” she laughed. “I don’t know much, either, but the luna system is said to be driven by the owner’s feelings more than any other system. So, it is one of those systems where anger, happiness, and even sadness can be turned into strength. They say it can cast perfect illusions that make dreams resemble reality.”“What? That’s pretty fucked up.”“Yeah, it is a fitting system for any queen, as it has the capability to keep the alpha in check when everyone else fails,” she opined. “That’s why it’s a coveted system, but unfortunately, our clan never got hold of it. If you ever come across an opponent who wields that
