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 felt like his heart really jumped into his throat when Frizz suddenly jumped at him, with the clear intent to bite anything it could. And it came straight for his crotch! Because Gabe was in his mindset of not using his supernatural powers due to his recent fight with Russell, his body was not able to react with the speed his mind wanted to. “Frizz!” Russell shouted from the door. The dog immediately shut its mouth, but its nose still hit Gabe’s crotch just for a fraction of a second. The dog quickly stepped back and obediently sat. Gabe’s heart, however, was still racing like never before. He quickly brought his legs together and covered his crotch. Even though he was capable of healing himself, he didn’t even want to imagine a dog biting his little brother. That would be worse than the worst nightmare he ever had. “How many times did I tell you to not attack guests?” Russell yelled at Frizz, but Frizz quickly ran into the building. “Yeah, keep showing your attitude like thi
The car was running smoothly, but of course, it was making a lot more noise compared to the Lamborghini Gabe had driven before. Nevertheless, he felt more like he was driving a car with this machine, as if he could feel the road underneath him but not in a bad way.Gabe was driving carefully, but he was also appreciating the reddish interior of the car, and the extremely metallic classy look which gave a totally different vibe from any car he ever drove, and he had driven a lot of cars because he used to deliver goods in the past. From scooters and motorbikes to cars and heavy trucks, he drove everything. He even worked with excavators for a few months.And the fact that this car also made some heads turn in his direction only added to his impression.All this made him smile. And he was wondering if he should really give this car to Nicole or keep it to himself. After all, if he were to keep it, Nicole could also drive it whenever she wanted, right?As he was thinking along these line
Gabe didn’t return to Regan’s house but ended up going to Tuna Waves and dropped Russell there. He also briefly met Nicole but didn’t tell her about the car as she was busy. He met Systa, too, but she knew he was coming and acted like she was sleeping in the kitchen. Nicole didn’t let him disturb her, so there was nothing he could do. Eventually, Gabe left in his new car all by himself. He was driving slowly while enjoying the ride, but he was also very vigilant and ready to fight if necessary. Wanting to test the car, he took a highway and reached speeds close to 90 mph, but he didn’t go faster, even though it was possible. He stopped the car on the side of the road. “I wasn’t expecting it to be stable even at top speed. The steering is a bit hard for my taste, but it should be fine once I get used to it.” Just then, he heard faint noises in the distance. He looked out through the window. There was an open grass field to his right for as far as 300 feet. He took the key and stepp
Bilan heard Regan’s heart skip very clearly. He smiled in a friendly manner and briefly glanced toward the desktop where the abstract of Regan’s research was up for view.“No direct link between cholesterol and heart disease…” Bilan’s smile strengthened. “It is truly sad how pitiful the world and its people have become. Our brains are made up of cholesterol, and yet people refrain from eating the yolk of eggs or the skin on the chickens or beef, when it’s better for them to throw the egg whites and eat the yolk instead. But, no, they want their brains to shrink to marble sizes, so they won’t listen to what’s good for them. I’m not saying your effort of writing this research paper is futile, but it really wouldn’t amount to much in this day and age.”“I researched for myself, and not to reform the world,” Regan blurted.“Is that so? Then it’s good,” Bilan said. “Since my family is known for its healers, I tell you that you’re on the right path. When a person is internally bleeding thro
Regan, who had the Hacking system with him for a few weeks, learned many things about the supreme families.One of the things that shocked him the most was that the Aeson family actually owned the biggest oil manufacturing company in the world. They didn’t directly run it, but put a proxy to have it run for them.When he dug deeper, he learned something even more shocking, that the oil was not produced by fossil fuels but that the earth naturally produced it like how a human body produced blood.Blood was life to man like how oil was life to the earth.And vampires were able to survive with oil in case they weren’t able to find blood. Of course, low-level vampires would fall sick sooner if they were to only drink oil and not blood.This was the main reason why the Aeson family owned the oil company so they could control the resource and not let the vampires have it as they wanted.“They don’t just own oil companies but also many hospitals around the world,” Regan thought. “The Aeson f
In Zuri’s house.Gabe poured milk in a bowl, and the puppies began to fight and caused the bowl to roll over. And they licked the milk off the floor, while still continuing to bark and growl at each other.It was more frustrating than funny for Gabe to watch all this.The floor was dirtied by the one liter milk after all.He went to the storage room to look for the broom, and some of the puppies followed him quickly without even drinking the milk.“What’s there with me? Go and drink the milk!” Gabe barked at them, and they ran out just as quickly.As Gabe looked for the broom, he saw all the many gift boxes that weren’t even opened. “Zuri must have received all these from the men she….” he opened up a random box, and it had a dress inside. It was an indecent dress. Gabe could only shake his head. “What’s the point of giving something like this other than for obvious reasons? Tsk. If I receive gifts like these, I’d burn them to ashes.”Zuri’s house was literally filled with all kinds o
