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
A few minutes ago.The old branch manager who had taken the mission to bring Gabe over to Medusa was watching the live-video of recording coming from Zeroth Nail, the top assassin of Men in Blood. Zeroth Nail was the only woman in the group, and nobody other than a certain few individuals knew about her identity. Using her beauty and seductive skills to advantage, she managed to finish all the 99 missions that were given to her.Nevertheless, the old branch manager still looked anxious for some reason, as if she couldn’t be sure of Zeroth Nail’s success until the mission finished.“C’mon, Leona. You can do this.”She anxiously watched the Zeroth Nail, Leona, enter the store and get as close to Gabe as possible. After starting the conversation smoothly, she waited for the right opportunity. When Gabe looked away in a different direction, she stabbed him multiple times.“Yes!” the old branch manager pumped her fist in the air. “Yes! We are gonna be rich!”However, her expression changed
Gabe took all the necessary information from the Tenth Nail, everything that the Tenth Nail knew.Using that information, he used Systa to improve upon that knowledge. “An assassin organization called Men in Blood… These members seem pretty weak to me, but as per regular human standards, they are pretty skillful. The identity of their head is secret, except that he’s someone ranked above 100,000 in UTS. Whoever it might be, I’ll have to beat him and make him spill the beans.”[You think it has something to do with the governor and his wife?] Systa wondered.“The chances are high. If it turns out that the governor wants me dead, then there’s no point in playing matches in UTS anymore,” Gabe said resolutely. “I’m going to have to deal with that governor and his wife. Those two and everyone involved in the death of my parents must pay!”At the headquarters of Men in Blood.All the top five men of the organization, from First Nail to Fifth Nail, gathered before Big Mama who was currentl
Gabe’s torturing methods were nothing to slight at. While he didn’t have any practical experience, he had seen enough on television to know what works.Using his torture tactics, he manged to make Big Mama spill some information. Though he still couldn’t find out the name of the head of Men of Blood, he found it important in other regards.“So, someone requested the organization to beat me up,” Gabe thought. “But as they began to research about me to find my habits and preferences and what not, they came across something or someone that asked them to kill me. She didn’t know who it was, but I’m sure the boss of this organization knows that client’s identity. If I stay here for a bit longer, I’m sure your boss will show up.”Leona suddenly came from behind and swung a baseball bat at his head. The hit landed perfectly. She thought she got him, but Gabe casually turned back and smiled at her. “Wonderful. You woke up yourself without having me exert my strength,” Gabe made crawling movem
Gabe waited for over an hour, but the head of Men in Blood didn’t come. “I want to know who their boss is. I can’t leave without knowing their identity, or they might come after my family.”While these assassins were no threat to Gabe, the same couldn’t be said about his family. This was why he wanted to destroy this organization completely.Gabe even checked the mobiles of everyone, including Big Mama. There was nothing related to their boss, which made him wonder if there was even a boss. So, he woke Big Mama up and tortured her some more. Big Mama told him that this gang had no boss, and that she was fooling everyone with an identity that didn’t exist.Gabe couldn’t fully believe her, so he branded her with a servant mark by clawing her arm with his nails.From what Systa told him, this mark would make sure that this old woman would never do something that would harm Gabe. it was a mark applied by force, so it wouldn’t last long given Gabe wasn’t even a master alpha. However, this
“It’s a pity, but goodbye, Zero,” Zephyr stepped closer toward Leona.Her hands trembled, but she still managed to shoot again. However, Zephyr caught the bullets again and then flicked on the bullets back at her.The bullet struck the bore of the gun, making it explode because Leona simultaneously shot the gun. “Argh!” the gun fell out of her hand.Zephyr was about to flick another bullet, but his senses felt a danger behind him. He immediately swiveled back and waved his hand, sending bullets flying in different directions to cover a wide range.Though his eyes couldn’t see anybody, his ears could faintly hear the footsteps on the floor, and his nose could smell the presence of another in the room.His eyes glowed red. His nails grew into claws. His canines transformed into thick fangs, and he clawed through the air, making contact with Gabe who had hidden himself using the limited benefits of the invisible system. “Who the hell are you?” Zephyr threw a spinning kick, but this time
The next morning.Carrie, Freddy, and William went to their jobs to experience their first day at work. Draco said he was going to school, but then went to his friend’s home to get his gaming gear modified so that even an underage kid like him could play the VR game known as Dream Creed that had been released almost five years ago and revolutionized the gaming world.Bertha was busy learning new recipes because she predicted that Carrie, Freddy, and William were probably going to complain about dishes now that they started working and earning salaries. So, she wanted to up her game, too, so they wouldn’t be able to point their fingers at her.“It’s been a while since I’ve passionately practiced on the recipes,” Bertha looked happy even though she was working alone in the kitchen.Mia, on the other hand, was in her bedroom, holding the yellow rose in her hand. “Gabe said that this is the Luna System. For some reason, this thing appeared in my dream last night. How did I know that this
