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
{If the three supreme families are involved, then this is going to get big.} Stemmer told Mia. {They’ve never possessed me before, even though they tried so hard. I know how they act and think. That’s why if you listen to me, I’ll keep you and you safe. You and your family will have to move. In the worst case, you might have to stay separate from your family as these monsters can come after you to obtain me.}“If I stay away from my family, they are going to eat each other,” Mia opined while slowly driving the car. “Right now, Aunt Bertha is able to control them, but that’s only because I listen to her. If I’m not there, they won’t give her enough respect. William definitely won’t. And their children aren’t really sentimental, either. They’re all money-minded. All of them. And they’re spoiling Draco as well. They recently got jobs. If they were to move now, they’re going to break down mentally. The atmosphere in the house will become chaotic.”{So you have no plans of moving or separa
“You want me and my entire family to shift and live with Jessica?” Mia found herself shaking her head. “We may be friends, but we’re not that close. And it’s not right for us to bother them. If my entire family lives there, Jessica will feel annoyed. I don’t want to mess up our friendship with this.”“You and your family will be living in the guest house, so it shouldn’t be a problem,” Gabe said. “You don’t need to worry about money or food. I’ve already paid and arranged for everything.”“Y-You mean you paid Jessica money?”“Yeah, 250,000 dollars,” Gabe said, showing the transaction details on his mobile. “So, don’t feel burdened to stay there.”While she wanted to ask him how he got that much money, this didn’t feel like the right time to ask that question. “What about you? Where are you going to live?”“In Zuri’s house,” Gabe replied calmly.Mia frowned. “You want to face those powerful enemies all by yourself? Let me help you.”“You’re still not strong enough to help me,” Gabe was
Russell contacted his grandfather on the mobile and briefly told him what happened. “Is it possible for me to get my hands on the Hacking system for a little while?”“You think that’s a pendrive for it to be given and taken whenever you want?” His grandfather, Regan, hissed at him. “I’m acquainted with the Arris family, but I have no idea how they’re going to react if I mention the alpha system. They might help protect your friend, but in the end, he’ll need to be handing over that system to them. Will he do that?”“I don’t think so.”“Then there isn’t much I can do,” Regan was blunt. “The Hacking system is with the Wolfe clan. They will not give it even if you ask for it since you already owned it once.”“Then what am I supposed to do?” Russell frustratingly said. “Just sit and watch?”“I can tell you’re feeling guilty for how things turned out, but sometimes, the best we can do is do nothing, Russell,” he said. “Anyway, how about you contact your dad? If it’s him, he might be able t
A few days later.Like the calm before the storm, the past few days have been extremely silent and strangely peaceful.Gabe started building the new house, where his old house was supposed to be. At the same time, he was also renovating the Woods park. For both of these things, he was using money he borrowed 2 million dollars from UTS at a whopping 100% interest per month.Nicole didn’t personally come to see how the house was being constructed, but Gabe video-chatted with her and asked for her inputs and preferences. She mostly agreed with everything he said, but she vehemently refused to have a toilet built inside her bedroom, saying that she would feel disgusted if the smell from the bathroom were to come to her bed.Because of her, Gabe had to include separate bathrooms outside for her in the blueprint.Gabe spent most of the time overseeing the construction workers, and he also gave them a hand. Most of the construction workers were all strong and sturdy people, as they were a gr
Gabe was fighting in the UTS ring. His opponent was Demon Son, someone ranked 66,666 in the UTS rankings. He had been at that rank for almost three years without moving, but everybody knew that he was much stronger than his rank suggested. This was the first time Gabe had to fight against someone in the ring, who was making wind blow with his fists. His punches whispered to him like demons would in a human's ears. He was fast, strong, sturdy, arrogant, and experienced. Gabe did not have it easy. He had to exert some energy in order to block this man’s attacks. Most of the audience bet on Demon Son, because he was on a ten match winning streak. He was an eight-foot-tall man who was capable of moving nimbly like a basketball professional could. Everything about him was abnormal. The audience joked among themselves, saying that he could chomp on Gabe’s face if he wanted. The fact that Gabe defended himself most of the time didn’t help the audience change their mind, either. “He’s onl
