Gabe incessantly attacked David with the heavenly thunder sword, creating tremendous reverberations with every strike, causing the neighborhood to shake. An earthquake of almost five magnitude was felt by the people around the city. It didn’t cause any property damage, but it was continuously felt for a prolonged time, which scared many citizens.Rica and Alexander, who were sparring in an underground facility, also felt the tremors.“These are abnormal seismic waves,” Alexander opined. “Let’s stop the practice and head to the source of these vibrations.”“I was getting close to beating your ass, though,” Rica said. “Is it really necessary to go now? I’m sure someone will take care of the issue.”Alexander’s gaze turned cold.“Ha-ha, I was just kidding, Dad,” Rica quickly changed her mind. “Let’s go.”Meanwhile, Gabe and David were still clashing. David created a large aerial barrier in their vicinity so that the noises and vibrations wouldn’t go outside. Even the people were also not
In a nearby building, the waters had entered their house and just left, but the items on the ground floor were all thrown out of their places, so it looked quite messy.“I’ve never seen or heard of a natural disaster like this,” the father of the house was telling his family members. “Let’s stay in the basement until things calm down. The water won’t come here, so don’t worry.”“But those scary sounds have gone, Dad,” the teenage son said. “Let’s go out and check how things are.”“No! Let’s stay here for a bit longer.”“But it’s so uncomfortable here. The air feels musty,” the son complained.After arguing with each other, they finally came out of the basement, only to see a woman in skimpy clothes unplugging their CCTV footage harddisk.“Thief!” the son cried out. “Dad, she’s stealing our hard drive. She must have stolen other things! Stop her!”The dad saw that Rica was slim and appeared weak. “I don’t want to hurt you, so give back all the things you stole.”“Do you see me carrying
Sansa was running fast on rooftops, but Rica was still able to catch up with her. Sansa stopped on top of a five-floored building, with similarly tall buildings in vicinity. Sansa’s wound on the back had stopped bleeding, but she didn’t look like she wanted to continue fighting. “There’s nowhere you can run away,” Rica grinned, placing her big blood wind blade on her small shoulder. “Unfortunately, you don’t seem to be carrying any systems on you, but that’s fine. As long as I capture you, I’m sure we’ll be able to get a lot of information from you. After all, the Agnar family has much more brutal torture methods compared to you guys who only know how to imitate others.” “Do I look like I’m afraid of you?” Sansa growled back. “Heh, why don’t you quit barking like a dog and show me what you’ve got?” Rica snorted. “I will crush you at your full strength.” Sansa could see that Rica was underestimating her. (Fine. Let’s use this to my advantage.) She clenched her fists and created wat
A few minutes later.Sansa came out of a well, her clothes completely soaked, but she didn’t care about all that. She sat down next to the well and focused on healing herself.She received a nasty chest wound and back wound, so she had to exert a significant amount of energy to close the wound. The pills she consumed also helped quicken the process.After she completely recovered, she got up and took her mobile out. Her mobile wasn’t working properly, but she could see that there were missed calls from Russell.“Why did you have to tell us about that man having a system, Brother?” she muttered under her breath. “Why are you so trusting?” She clenched the mobile. “Now, I feel bad because you got hurt as well. How can I show my face to you now?”She remembered that a few years ago, she asked Russell why he was giving the Hacking System away.Russell told her, “A few days ago, a politician came to threaten me to support his campaign. That night, I had a dream of hacking his electric car,
Mia had no idea who Alexander and Rica were. This was her first time seeing them. However, like the instinct of a prey facing a predator, she felt that these were both dangerous people.She took her eyes off them and continued to walk normally.{Good. Keep acting like this.} Stemmer told her.“Who are those two?” Mia asked. {Why did I feel a chill when I looked at them?”{They are probably the ones Gabe fought.}“What?” Mia stopped.{Why did you stop? Gabe isn’t here anymore. Judging by how those two are looking around, they clearly didn’t defeat Gabe. And they didn’t get defeated, either. If you fight such people now, you’re going to get crushed.}“How do you know for sure that Gabe left this place safely?” she asked him.{I know it for sure. Just trust my word on this and get out of here.} Stemmer insisted.Mia reluctantly started to walk away.At the same time, Alexander kept looking at Mia. Rica saw that.She nudged his elbow. “What, Dad? Do you want me to tell Mom that you’re dro
Rica hit the wall hard enough to make cracks in it. But it was the nasty pain that gripped her abdomen that made her cringe. Nevertheless, she landed on her feet and touched her belly as she angrily glared at Mia. Mia looked surprised because she thought she connected well with that punch. Her hand was still aching, after all. But then Rica started to grin. “So you really have a system with you. The stupid smart system that I have isn’t cooperating with me, or I wouldn’t have taken this route. And I’m going to give you one last chance. Give me the system, and I’ll let you go. I don’t want to beat a soft-looking woman like you.” “I told you that I won’t give you anything,” Mia responded, tightening her fists. “They all say that until they taste my fists,” Rica said and stepped forth. “This is going to hurt, so brace yourself.” Mia was someone who had little to no fight experience. The moment Rica stepped forward, Mia’s hand automatically moved. She punched the air with her right
Rica got out of the bricks that fell upon her. She was covered in dirt, which irritated her. But what frustrated her even more was that both Ulf and Mia were nowhere to be seen. And it hurt her pride.“That little brat…” She thought of Ulf. “I jumped away, but he kicked my back, and I fell right at the spot where the bricks fell. Who the hell was he? I didn’t feel any life aura from him. It’s as if he doesn’t have a soul. Was he created by a member of the Beast Brotherhood? But his eyes looked normal. If he was a dead person being controlled, he wouldn’t look so normal. He’s different from the undead I’ve seen before.” She grinned through her anger. “I’m going to find both of you sooner or later.”Just then, her dad arrived at the scene. “What happened here? Did you lose her?”“She had a helper.”“So?”“She doesn’t have a system with her. She’s just part of the damned Beast Brotherhood.”“To think such a homely girl is part of that nasty beast tribe…” Alexander sighed. “You really can
Gabe was right outside Mia’s house.Bertha was watching him from the balcony, talking with someone on the mobile. “Where is Mia? And who’s he talking with?” she clapped a couple of times.Gabe could hear her claps, but he purposely didn’t respond. He didn’t want to waste his attention on her right now. “Yeah, have someone shift Mia and her entire family to a safer location,” he was talking with Russell on the mobile. “I have a feeling that they are much more dangerous than anyone I have faced so far. Having these people around me will not make me more vulnerable.”“But will you be okay all by yourself?” Russell asked, a hint of worry in his voice.“It’s not like you can help me fight them,” Gabe’s reply was soft but brutal. “You’ve already done enough. Let me handle the rest.”Russell pursed his lips. All this happened because of his mistake. Since he knew David for almost five years, he thought he had him figured, only to then realize that David has never quite revealed his real natu
