The receptionist couldn’t keep her hands straight when pointing the gun at Russell. “Put it down, I said,” she raised her voice.

“If I put it down, you are going to shoot both of us,” Gabe said. “So I’m not going to do that, but let me remind you… a bullet from your gun probably won’t kill him, but a bullet from this beauty will… Well, you can see how badly your boss’ shoulder got hurt. He’ll probably never be able to use his left arm well again. He will not even be able to properly sleep for months. Do you want that kind of pain in your life as well, catty eyes?”

Gabe’s words made her put the gun down on the table.

“Uh-ah, you should throw it away,” Gabe suggested.

She frowned and then threw the gun a few feet away from her.

Russell quickly went and picked up the gun and checked to see if there were bullets inside. And it was fully loaded.

Holding the gun in one hand, he came to Henry and kicked him, telling him to get up. Both Gabe and Russell took Henry with them.

Russell drove th

    It was no ordinary explosion. The nearby buildings were rocked by it, and half-a-dozen people suffered serious injuries.At the same time, Henry, who was unconscious, suddenly woke up and began to convulse and then collapsed in a matter of seconds.Gabe touched his neck and checked the pulse. “H-He’s dead.”Russell’s eyes slightly widened. “It’s not you, right?”“Are you kidding me? Why would I do such a thing?” Gabe frowned. “You should stop doubting me for everything. Whoever did this must be somewhere nearby. Let me see if I can find them.” He used Systa’s help to intercept the wireless signals that were in that neighborhood.While Gabe seemed busy, Russell couldn’t sit still. Because of many people trying to trick him or take advantage of him in recent times, Russell had stopped trusting anybody other than the people that were very close to him. This was also part of the reason why he didn’t feel like meeting with his old friends.“I found nothing,” Gabe said.“They must have sent

    A few minutes later.Russell and Gabe got back into the car. Russell drank what looked like a potion, and the bruises and cuts on his body faded away at a visible pace.Gabe’s eyes naturally bulged out. “What’s that you just drank?”“It’s something I got from a friend,” he replied. “If you want, I can get you a dozen of those, though you’ll need to wait a couple of months.”“H-How much for each of those?” Gabe hesitantly asked, wondering if Russell was going to ask him to pay millions.“I get them for free,” Russell said. “So, I’m going to give them to you for free. Even if you want to pay for those, I can’t take your money. You saved Jessica’s life, so this is the least I can do.” He started driving. “By the way, have you played the VR game Dream Creed?”“Nah, I’m not interested.”“Why not? It doesn’t cost much to play,” Russell said. “If you learn about the world, it’ll help you gain a stable income. A significant number of the world’s population is earning money by playing this gam

    “Will it be possible for you to teach both of us how to cook? Just some tips and whatnot, Chef Nicole,” Jessica asked politely.“Uh…” Nicole couldn’t give a straightforward answer. “I’ve never taught anybody before.” She did teach Gabe how to cook, but she didn’t consider that as teaching. “And I don’t think it’s a good idea.”“Why not?”“You might come to hate me if I become your teacher,” Nicole said, surprising them. “I will end up being harsh on you, and you might not like it. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you don’t have the patience to bear things, but young people these days are a lot different than they were twenty years ago. Even women are a lot more aggressive these days. They are not using the opportunities that are available these days, especially young girls who think that being independent means smoking, boozing, sleeping around, and rebelling against their parents. In the past, it’s hard to find tomboys, but now it’s hard to find a girl who properly covers herself

    Russell entered the reception hall with the intention to threaten Heath with the video and audio footage he had so that Heath would never even look in his or his family’s direction. However, when he got onto the stage, and Heath walked toward him with a big smile on his face as if he was completely innocent, Russell lost it.He wanted Heath to pay for everything right there and then. And he ended up punching him in the face and sending him flying off the stage.Most people in the crowd were shocked, but there were a few that took their mobiles out and made a few calls.One of those calls went to a person who owned a grocery store named Bow’s Feet. He answered the call and listened to the order. “Alright. I’ll catch the little fish and the big fish and bring them to you nice and clean,” he said and ended the call. He then received Russell’s family picture on his mobile. “This guy?” he frowned after seeing Russell’s face. “Fuck.” He quickly called someone.Somewhere else in the city.De

    Russell punched Heath in the face so hard, he flew off the stage and rolled on the floor, shocking many.Heath’s wife, also his niece, initially cried out in horror, but then angrily jumped at Russell and crafted a flying kick.Russell wasn’t even looking at her, but he managed to duck and dodge the kick. He completely ignored her and jumped down the stage with a smile on his face. “Relax, guys,” he told the onlookers. “I just gave Heath the wedding gift. He and I go way back. We always greet each other like this, don’t we, Heath?”Heath got back to his feet. He couldn’t hide the anger and disappointment in his face because nobody had punched him in the face like this before. Not even his parents. It was always him who punched others, but this was the first time he was at the receiving end. His pride was hurt without a doubt.“The punch was a greeting?” the people looked at each other’s faces, not sure whether Russell was joking or not.“You little bastard,” Heath attacked Russell wit

    “Shouldn’t we also call the police?” Mia asked Jessica. “They could help us.” “No,” Jessica shook her head, wiping her tears away. “We don’t know if some of them work for our enemies or not. It’s too risky to take their support. We have to deal with this issue on our own.” Mia didn’t say anything because she also agreed with Jessica’s words. She would never forget the amount of circus the police had done when the snake gang had harassed her family members when she was a child. They even tried to kidnap her. Mia and her family didn’t have the guts to file cases against the snake gang in the court. Normally, it would be very difficult for anybody to make the courts accept their criminal petition as one would require tangible proof. Mia and her family could not get any proof against the snake gang because they couldn’t trust anybody. They didn’t know who was their enemy or ally and had suffered for months, not knowing when someone might attack them. Mia was quite young back then. Neve

    Before the private jet could get out of the hangar, a white Porsche stopped outside.and Gabe stepped out.“Who the fuck is he?” The pilot got angry and told the kidnappers to deal with him. “Beat his ass, and move that car out of the way.”There were four kidnappers, and two of them stepped out with guns in their hands. Nicole didn’t know what was going on, and she couldn’t see Gabe, either, because she was inside the jet.As the two kidnappers came walking toward him, Gabe muttered under his breath, “Have you dealt with the cameras around?”[Yeah. But there are two more guys in the plane with guns in their hands.] Systa told him. [If you beat these two up, then they might harm your aunt and the kid.]“I know. What do you suggest?” Gabe asked.[How about you get kidnapped, too?]“What am I supposed to say to make them kidnap me?” Gabe wondered. As the two kidnappers closed in, he quickly raised both of his arms into the air and looked very scared. “Guys, please don’t shoot me. I belie

    By the time Russell fought and defeated the bodyguards, Mack Donald had left in his car. And the news about Russell fighting Heath during his wedding reception event was displayed on many rival news channels.Kyra Lynn, who was related to Russell, saw the news and was greatly surprised. “He’s not the type to pick a fight first. What’s gotten into him for him to publicly do such a thing? Heath Bowman is a tough cookie. Should I give Russell a hand?” she thought for a moment. “Nah, if I meet him outside the board meeting, his wife will give me that long glance again. I guess, if he needs it he’ll call me himself?” Still and all, Kyra called her dad on mobile and told him, “Check the news, Dad. It seems there’s something going on between Russell and Heath. I think you should help him, just to be safe.”“He’s not a child anymore, Kyra. He’s a dad himself now,” Liam Lynn replied from the other side. “He’s going to take care of it himself.”“What if he digs himself into deeper trouble?” Kyr

    “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 a

    “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

    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

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.

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.

    “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
