“If you had known beforehand, whom would you have chosen to rescue first?” Mia asked.

“T-That’s…” Gabe found his heart expanding in his chest a bit too much. “I-I’d like to pass that question.”

“Huh, so you would have chosen them, after all.”

“I-I didn’t say that.”

“Then you would have chosen me first?”

“M-Mia, why are you troubling my heart now?” Gabe pitifully said. “Please spare me.”

Mia exhaled audibly and then looked at the statues. “I had no idea your system was capable of doing something like this. You are going to turn them back, right?”

“About that…” Gabe paused a moment before saying, “I don’t know how to do it yet.”

“Huh?” her jaw dropped a bit. “Then you’re going to leave them like that?”

“Y-Yeah,” Gabe started walking away. “Let’s go.” He had seen them pointing their guns at her, so he didn’t want to turn them back. That’s why, even though he could try to turn them back, he chose not to.

“Wait, Gabe, we can’t just leave like this,” Mia said.

“Don’t worry. I’m calling Russ

    Mack Donald boarded the private jet and waved goodbye to Saya. “It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t spend a night together, but it is what it is.”Saya waved her hand in return, but just only as a formality. (This bastard might get me killed for knowing too many of his secrets. I should go into hiding for a while.)As the jet started and accelerated on the airstrip, Saya was already running away.Mack saw that and smiled. “I’ve already hired a sniper just for you, Saya. He’s going to put a bullet in your head any second. I wish you a happy journey to hell.”“Sir, there’s someone standing on the runway,” the pilot said.“Who’s stupid enough to do that?” Mack came to the pilot and looked. It was David Aeson that was standing on the runway with some round object in his hand. “Who the fuck is that? Is that a bomb in his hand? We should stop.”“No need for that, sir. He’s far enough from us. We don’t need to cover that much distance to achieve flight,” the pilot said.“Then fucking do it,” M

    Gabe and Mia were on their way back to Tuna Waves hotel, but she made him stop at a clothing store, saying, “Will you buy me a dress?”Gabe obviously couldn’t refuse. He did buy clothes for his aunt before, but not for a woman his age. Kiera did shop with him, but she never asked for his opinion.Mia, however, was different. She tried a few pairs and asked Gabe how they suited her. He picked two out of all those pairs, and out of those two, Mia chose the one with the pockets.“They have pockets,” Gabe said. “Are you sure you want those?”I picked those because they have pockets,” Mia replied.“Oh…” Gabe then observed the dress Mia was currently wearing, and this one had pockets, too. (So she likes dresses with pockets, huh. I should remember this.)Gabe paid for the dress, which cost over seventy dollars.Mia put on the new dress and threw the old one away. “I didn’t want to take that dress home, so…”“It’s okay,” Gabe replied. As they walked out of the shop together, Gabe said, “Do y

    Mia and Jessica met in a bit of a tearful reunion.Gabe, on the other hand, whispered to Nicole that he bought the dress for Mia, which both surprised and shocked her.“Did the gangsters do anything to her?” Nicole quickly asked him.“It’s the opposite,” he replied.“Mm? What do you mean?” Nicole couldn’t wrap her mind around his words.“Ask her and find out for yourself,” Gabe said, laughing a little.Jessica then turned to face Gabe. “We want to hire some bodyguards to protect Chef Nicole for a while, until things settle down.”“T-There’s no need for that, ma’am,” Nicole was quick to say that.“Don’t call me ma’am. Call me Jessica,” she held Nicole’s hands. “Because of me you had to go through a terrible incident, and my daughter returned safely because of you and your son, so please let me do what I can, or I won’t feel happy.”“If you put it like that…” Nicole found it hard to refuse.“We won’t do much,” Jessica added. “We’re going to give you a driver, two armed bodyguards, a car

    A few things were salvaged from Gabe’s destroyed house. He brought all those items to the grocery store.Mia was waiting for him, thinking he’d come and live in her house now. However, he told her, “I’ll live in Zuri’s house.”“W-What?” Mia was not expecting that.“I think I should bring some justice to her death,” Gabe said. “If I live in your house, I don’t think I’ll be able to do that. I don’t want to forget that Zuri was killed because of me.”“It’s not entirely your fault, Gabe. She’s associated with the snake gang long before you got into a fight with them,” Mia tried to reason with him.“Still, it doesn’t change the fact that I put her in danger,” Gabe said in a strong voice, hinting to her that he wouldn’t change his mind on this.“How long are you planning to stay there?” Mia asked.“”Not for long,” Gabe looked into the distance. “Before my house construction gets finished, I’ll get rid of the bastard that murdered Zuri. He needs to pay for what he’s done.”“A-Are you planni

    Gabe left Ulf to watch over Nicole, and Systa to watch over Mia from a distance.Gabe drove to the place where Russell told him to come. It was an old warehouse at the border of the city.But before Gabe even stepped out of the car, he saw David and Sansa and recognized them immediately. Russell was talking with them outside the warehouse.“Why the hell are they here?” For a second, he wondered if Russell was setting him up. “Should I go out or not? What do you think, Systa?”[If I were you, I’d get the hell away from there.] Systa sent him a mental message. [Nothing good will come from messing with them. If they know that I am with you, they’re going to chase you to the ends of the earth.]Gabe frowned and was about to put his foot on the accelerator.“Gabriel!” Russell’s voice reached his ears. “Come inside,” he was waving his hand.(Don’t listen. Just leave.) Gabe told himself, but his leg couldn’t press the pedal. There weren’t many people around in this neighborhood, so it was a

    In the warehouse.Russell and Gabe were standing in front of Mack Donald who was tied up to a chair, with nothing but his underpants on. His body was covered in bloody wounds.“So, this is the bastard who was behind the kidnapping…” Gabe clenched his fist. “I feel like punching him and breaking all his teeth, but he already looks like he has a foot in his grave.”“You can break his teeth if you want, but, no killing, please,” Russell said.Gabe briefly glanced at him. He wasn’t sure if Russell said that out of softness, or if Russell personally wanted to end Mack’s life.“Please let me go,” Mack spoke through the pain. “I’ll give you whatever you want. Money, women, drugs, information. Anything.”“You made hundreds of millions by trafficking women and children for decades,” Russell put a knuckle duster on. “You supply innocent girls to politicians and rich businessmen. I remember that you approached me almost five years ago as I was getting ready to get married. You told me that marri

    Sansa stabbed Medusa’s chest with an injection, which she said was like a truth serum. A normal vampire would not feel drunk even after drinking a barrel of wine, so they’d need a special sort of liquid for their minds to be affected. Sansa gave just that, which accelerated Medusa’s heartbeat. Blood started flowing faster to her brain as all kinds of thoughts crept into her mind, making her eyes move to the left and to the right pretty quickly. “Tell me now,” Sansa uttered in Medusa’s ear. “Who was it that you fought outside the city a few days back? Did he or she use any supernatural powers? Spill everything you know. The more you try to resist, the more it’ll hurt.” “Stop this,” Medusa cried. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Sansa tried again and again, but Medusa gave the same response. Sansa took out another injection. “Don’t,” David stopped her. “She’s likely erased her own memories.” “Huh? Is something like that possible?” Sansa looked shocked. “Yes. Your dad and

    David’s eyes turned into that of a predator the moment Russell had revealed crucial information. Gabe’s heart jumped into his throat. “Russell!” Gabe pushed him away and shouted, “Why did you tell them?” “Relax, Gabriel,” Russell was saying, but David stepped forward and pushed him to the side. “Uncle David… what are you…” he didn’t see this coming. He thought David would listen to him, but the look in David’s eyes told Russell otherwise. Gabe clenched his fist. This was the last thing he wanted, and it happened anyway. “I should have known…” David uttered. “Your house was burnt the other day. You must have been that vampire’s target. But what I want to know is whether you are the one that fought the woman in the garage or not.” Sansa’s eyes slightly widened. “Uncle, you think he’s the owner of the Alpha System?” she quickly came and blocked his path. “He looks too soft to be the owner of that system.” “Hmph, you want to help him as well, huh, Sansa,” David’s gaze sharpened. “Si

    “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. 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
