VKBoySorry guys for not uploading for almost three days. I get a little busy at the end of each month, so please bear with me. For the readers who don't know, Sansa is a character from another novel of mine called 'Secret Successor' just like Russell is. However, Sansa's character is explored more in this novel and she's more of a mysterious figure in the other novel whose time frame is five years earlier to this one. That novel is 85% complete, and it will be finished in two to three months, so you can read it then if you want. Anyway, I wish you all a wonderful year ahead. Try to overcome your weakness and bad habits, which will automatically help you be much more patient and loving; only then, you can have peace in life, even in the midst of a storm. Cheers.

Bilan came to meet David who was staying at a penthouse now.As Bilan expected, David did not look happy as he didn’t allow him to go anywhere near Gabe because they didn’t want him to make the Aeson family look any more bad in the alpha system’s eyes.After sitting at the dining table, David said, “Why don’t we just put a false case on him and send him to prison? We can have the police forcibly take the copper ring from him.”“There’s no need to do all those things,” Bilan said, picking up fried prawns with the fork. “Gabriel Brando. We didn’t do a thorough check on him yet. But his parents died when he was young, and he's been living with his aunt ever since. He was in poverty for decades and even got dumped by his girlfriend during the wedding. He was suffering very much, until he found the system, or to better put it, the system found him.”“Why would the mighty alpha system choose such a loser?” David kept shaking his head. “It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t match the stories I’v

Gabe was sleeping on the couch, while using Ulf as a lookout, in case someone were to attack him. Ulf was sitting outside, playing with the ants, which walked along the lines he drew on the ground. When they finished the tasks, he dropped sugar on the ground to reward them. After eating, they lifted their front legs and thanked him. He dropped more sugar, and they took the sugar into their hideout underground. Gabe’s mobile rang. It was Russell calling, so he quickly answered. “Hey, is everything alright?” “Yeah…” Russell said. “Actually, not quite.” Gabe’s heart started beating faster. “Why? What happened?” “Nothing serious, so calm down first,” Russell said. “The thing is, we always do a routine health check for our chefs every month, and we did it to your mom as well.” “D-Did she get bad test results?” Gabe quickly asked. “What was wrong with her?” “It’s the opposite, actually. Her health is quite perfect. From the count of white blood cells to her neural activity, everythin

The next morning.Gabe woke up and came outside the house. Ulf was chatting with the squirrels, which quickly scurried away and climbed the trees.“Why did they run away? I didn’t do anything,” Gabe said.{You actually stepped on two ants the moment you stepped foot outside the house.} Ulf said.“What?” Gabe lifted his foot to see if there were dead ants stuck to the sole of his sandals, but there weren’t any.{You, or humans in general, step on and kill many ants every day.} Ulf added. {When you move around in your house, walk outside casually, every time you do something, some ants die.}“Surely… that’s not the reason the squirrels ran away, right?” Gabe couldn’t help but ask.[I’m sure that’s part of the reason. The squirrels instinctively know that humans are trouble, so they avoid them. You can’t blame them for that.} Ulf said and then made noises with his mouth. The two squirrels heard his sounds and then came down the tree, but they were rather hesitant to come closer as Gabe w

Jessica was showing her marriage albums to Mia, which quite shocked her because it was so grand. There were more than fifty albums in the room, and even more video tapes lying around. It was like watching the wedding of a prince and a princess.“Damn, you guys went all out with this,” Mia said, a bit of envy flowing through her voice. “I can’t even dream of having this type of wedding.”“You already had yours, didn’t you?”“U-Uh, yeah…”“But you haven’t changed your maiden name yet, have you?” Jessica asked.“Um, well… do we really have to change our maiden name?” Mia wondered. “I want to keep the family name that reminds me of my parents.”“You can keep it as your middle name if you want,” Jessica suggested. “It’ll become Mia Reyes Brando then.”“That sounds horrible, though,” Mia opened.“Haha, it does, but taking in your husband’s family name is the respect you give for your husband,” Jessica said, “who is going to become your future parent, best friend, partner for life, and mor

Gabe and Russell met outside his grandfather’s home, which was a medium-sized villa with an extensive garden, swimming pool, tennis court, and even a mini golf-course inside the perimeter walls.As they entered through the main gate, Gabe couldn’t help but ask, “How big is this place? I can’t even see the walls on the other side.”“1200 acres,” Russell said.Gabe’s eyebrows raised against his will. “Damn. 1200? All this for one old man?” he said and then quickly looked at Russell. “Uh, I didn’t mean any offense. I just said what I thought.”“I agree with you. This is a large enough area for three to four universities to fit in,” Russell said, “but my grandfather likes to live alone in his last years. Maybe, after he passes away, we might build a private university here.”“Eh? You’re not going to live in this place?” Gabe was quite surprised.“It’s far from the city, so it's not suitable for us,” Russell said. “We can make this a vacation home, but we already have many other vacation h

“Huh?” Gabe couldn’t believe that Systa would respond like this. He left Systa with Nicole to keep her safe. He told Nicole that Systa was one of his friends’ daughters, but that turned out to be a bad idea as Nicole started feeding her a lot of dishes she personally cooked.Because Systa kept eating without a problem, Nicole kept cooking, thinking that this little girl just has a big appetite and a high metabolism.“If you don’t help me, how am I supposed to know?” Gabe yelled back. “All I need is your opinion.”[Like I said, I’m too busy, Uncle.] Systa replied with a mental message.Gabe got angry, but he could only force himself to smile.“What are you here for, Gabriel?” Regan asked. “Do you want to start a business? Did you come here to seek my advice? Some investment, too, maybe?”“Nothing like that, sir,” Gabe calmly stated. “I came here to help you.”Regan paused for a second and then laughed. “Help me? I don’t need any help, though, unless you can make it easier for me to poo

Despite Russell calling for him, Gabe didn’t stop or even slow down. After Gabe walked out through the front door, Russell caught up with him and stood in front of him. “Just listen to me once,” Russell said. “And then if you still decide to leave, I won’t stop you.” “No matter what you’ll say, I won’t be convinced, Russell,” Gabe blurted. “It’s one thing to commit mistakes, but it’s a whole another thing to not have the heart to even accept the mistakes they committed. Just that attitude your grandfather has shown tells me what kind of person he was, is, and will be… till he enters his grave.” Russell frowned. “Aren’t you judging him too easily?” “Isn’t one grain of rice enough to tell if the whole bowl is cooked or not?” Gabe retorted. Russell sucked in a breath and audibly exhaled through the mouth. “It looks like anything I say might feel like excuses to you, so how about this?” He started removing his suit. “What are you…” Gabe looked confused. Russell tossed the suit on t

Gabe’s karate chop and Russell’s palm heel strike both landed at the same time. Both of them clearly saw each other’s attacks coming, but neither of them backed out.BAM~~!!Russell’s hit was a fraction of a second faster because of the less distance his hand had to cover. So, the palm of his heel struck Gabe’s chin first, making his head lift up and backward. Nevertheless, Gabe’s chopping hand still struck Russell’s trapezius muscle. It wasn’t a powerful strike, but the shock to the muscle caused Russell to almost instantly fall to one of his knees.Gabe was falling backward, but he somehow controlled himself and moved his foot back just in time and regained his balance.Falling on one’s back was the condition to lose, so Russell didn’t lose yet. He immediately jumped and speared his shoulder into Gabe’s abdomen, putting all his weight and momentum behind it.Gabe held onto Russell’s back and tried to stop him, but his feet couldn’t get much balance. Russell lifted his feet up and fu

Gabe and Mia were falling down from miles high.Gabe’s legs were still wrapped around Mia’s waist, so their fall was rather awkward.“If we crash like this, both will get injured,” she quickly said.“I-I will do something,” Gabe resisted the urge to grab her cheeks and kiss her in midair, but he believed that this opportunity might not come again.So, he quickly went in for a kiss.Mia put her hand on his mouth. “This isn’t the time!”Just then, her eyes widened as she saw people jumping from the ship that was above them.“Shit. I think we’ve been spotted,” Mia nervously said. “We have to escape.”“Leave it to me,” Gabe smirked and then tightly hugged her.“What are you-” Before she could finish her sentence, Gabe turned into a streak of lightning and traveled through the sky in a zig-zag manner.Within seconds, he crossed tens of miles and landed on a tree top.All the twelve warriors were startled by the speed at which Gabe had traveled.Nevertheless, they used their flying boots to

At a sea port.Gabe and Mia were hiding behind tall rocks at the shore and were observing the people shoot laser bullets at the sea beasts and then bring their bodies to the shore.They harvested crystals out of their bodies, which leaked out a strange but familiar energy.“I have never seen such creepy sea monsters, and what are those weapons?” Mia was a little nervous. “There are laser weapons in this world? I thought it was just fiction.”“They don’t just rely on weapons,” Gabe pointed. “Look over there.”A muscular old man with spiky hair punched a giant serpent monster and put a massive hole in its head.Mia’s eyes swelled out of the sockets. “H-He killed that monster from just the wind pressure emitted from his fist? He’s the real monster here!”“Yeah. He’s pretty strong,” Gabe opined. “I’m not sure if we can beat him even if we fight him together.”“But if we want to enter Syslon, we have to board their ship,” Mia said. “That’s what Ulmer said.”“I know, but can we sneak into h

Gabriel Agnar stopped by a motel.Systa looked a bit dull.“Bring her tea,” Gabriel looked at Alleria who had a bandage wrapped around her head.Alleria frowned but didn’t complain.“To think this little girl is really the Alpha System,” Alleria was still finding it hard to believe. “But, Lord, just so you know, she didn’t beat me. She created a clone of hers and tricked me into fighting the clone.”“You still let her take the woman away, didn’t you?” Gabriel calmly said. “It was your loss. Doesn’t matter how it comes.”“Ugh…” Alleria couldn’t talk after that.She went to the motel owner and asked, “Give us some tea.”“We don’t sell tea here.”Alleria hit the thick wooden bench with her palm and left an imprint there.“I-I’ll get the tea ready in ten minutes,” the motel owner nervously said.“I’ll give you five minutes.”“I-It’s impossible to get it done in five minutes, ma’am.”“Go,” she coldly growled, and he ran to the neighboring convenience store to buy tea bags and milk.Meanwhi

Gabriel grew much angrier after Gabe and Mia disappeared right before his eyes.He put more power into his fist and threw it at Ulmer who was under such pressure he was not able to move.A streak of red lightning flew into the scene and wrapped itself around Gabriel’s fist and stopped his fist in its tracks.“Mm?” Gabriel and Ulmer both looked to their side, where a red-haired woman was standing atop a nearly uprooted tree.She was giving off a ridiculous amount of energy.She looked like she was the embodiment of a million thunderbolts. She looked almost ethereal.“A wolfe clan’s girl?” Gabriel uttered.“The wolfe clan?” Ulmer seemed surprised. This was also his first time directly coming into contact with a person from the wolfe clan since he became the Urban God. “The strongest clan in the world… You came at the right time. Let’s together beat this old man up.”“Hmph,” the red-haired lady descended from the tree almost in a floating manner. “I didn’t come here to take sides. Both o

Both Mia and Gabe were being pressured to hug the ground. Some kind of invisible force as heavy as many mountains was crushing them, making it feel as if their bones would turn to powder under pressure.Gabe gnashed his teeth and tried his best to resist. He was only able to barely move one of his fingers, though.This can’t be real.He thought he had become strong, strong enough to at least stand his ground at those who are at the top of the world.Even though Systa wasn’t with him right now, and even though he wasn’t at his full strength, how could he be toyed like this?How could he not be able to resist the head of the Agnar clan even a little?How can there be such a huge power difference?As he gave it his all to just try and get back, Willow didn’t wait for him.She went for the kill.“I’ll break your wife’s skull right before your eyes, boy!” She axed her foot down at Mia’s head.Mia wanted to move away, but she couldn’t, and she looked more frustrated than afraid that she was

Gabe’s attack kept all the four squad leaders at bay as the electricity that washed through their bodies did not leave to the ground.Instead, it stayed in their bodies, trying to cook them alive.They had to resist the lightning energy with their ethereal energies.At the same time, Mia was able to push Willow back, though her leg suffered a deep cut in the process.Half of her bone was also cut, but she was healing at a fast pace.Regardless, Mia wasn’t worried about these opponents right now because the lightning energy of Gabe was also filling her body.However, it did not hurt her.But it made her feel stronger, and she began to feel Gabe’s presence all the more. Not just his presence, but all the things he had done in the past were popping in her mind.So many new memories poured into her mind.From the memories of his childhood to recent incidents, all the strong memories of his life played in her mind like a fast-moving dream.Some of these memories really squeezed her soul.S

“This is the end, youngling,” Willow turned into ten thousand different clones which looked like a giant swarm of illusion moving toward Gabe. “Phantom Dance!”All the figures of Willow attacked him in different styles all at once.It looked like Gabe’s entire body was burst to pieces.“It’s over already?” Fang snickered. “Heh, who gets to keep the omega system now?”“It’s not over,” Stark frowned. “Didn’t you see that flash of light?”“What flash?” Fang looked at Stark. “Did you see something that I didn’t?”Zephyr arrived where they were. “He used his lightning ability to move fast… so fast that my eyes also barely followed it.”“How the hell did he move that fast all of a sudden?” Fang frowned. “Where is he now?”Willow put her sword on her shoulder and looked down at the park miles below, a corner of her lips slightly curling up as she saw Gabe standing behind Mia now.“He released a burst of lightning at the last second. I thought he was defending himself, but he used it to pull

Gabe could feel what happened to Mia, that she was sent flying down to the earth.He wanted to go and help her, but Stark and Fang kept him occupied.The narrow and precise attacks of Stark constantly targeting Gabe’s head were messing with his sense of distance.Fang also stayed closed and made sure to mess with Gabe’s timing by throwing attacks that unpredictably supported Stark.Clearly, they were seasoned fighters who didn’t put a single foot wrong.Even Gabe, who wasn’t much of an experienced fighter, could tell that these two had fought each other and together many times before.Otherwise, such perfect coordination might not be possible.“If I can’t overpower them with technique, I have to do it through other means…” Gabe leaked electricity into the cloud, which reflected it back at Stark and Fang, forcing them to fend off from these sudden attacks.“He’s able to use not just the ground but also the clouds to his advantage,” Fang harrumphed. “How annoying.

More than two decades ago.“I understand about the alpha system, but why does the Patriarch want to find the luna system, too?” Zephyr was asking his squad commander at the time who was his own aunt.“He wanted to give it to his wife or his daughter, maybe?” Zephyr’s aunt said while smoking from a pipe.“Why?”“Haha, why you ask? Because it’s known to be the best support system,” she laughed. “I don’t know much, either, but the luna system is said to be driven by the owner’s feelings more than any other system. So, it is one of those systems where anger, happiness, and even sadness can be turned into strength. They say it can cast perfect illusions that make dreams resemble reality.”“What? That’s pretty fucked up.”“Yeah, it is a fitting system for any queen, as it has the capability to keep the alpha in check when everyone else fails,” she opined. “That’s why it’s a coveted system, but unfortunately, our clan never got hold of it. If you ever come across an opponent who wields that
