[Did you have to wash your hands? It looked like Kiera was about to cry because of what you did.] Systa told Gabe while he was driving the car.“You were watching?” Gabe was surprised.[I can’t see through your eyes if I want.] Systa replied. [Though it consumes a lot of energy.]“Mm. I just felt a strong scent of hers on my hand, probably because of my enhanced senses. It was uncomfortable,” Gabe said. “It just didn’t feel right. That’s why I washed it. A little bit of her scent still lingers. I don’t like it. I don’t want to remember her.”[You can have her as your concubine if you want.] Systa suggested.“Concubine? Stop joking.”[I wasn’t joking.]“She left Zack after he lost his eyes. It’s one thing to leave him, but she didn’t even feel sorry for him,” Gabe said. “If she didn’t get hurt by what happened to Zack, then I’m a thousand percent sure that she also did not shed a tear for dumping me on the wedding day at the last second. Of course, it was her plan all along, but still,
Mia woke up from a long, fruitful dream. She smiled and clenched her fist in excitement. “I’m starting to get a hang of powering up through dreams. I don’t know where the ceiling for this type of technique really is, but I’m going to use this for as long as it works.”{Check your mobile. Gabe sent you a message.} Stemmer said.“Oh, did he see the dresses?” Mia checked her mobile with a lot of expectation, but what she read was completely different. “Gather pack members?”{So it is time.} Stemmer’s voice gained weight. {You’ve developed enough techniques these past ten days, so you’re now worthy to get some subordinates and bestow powers on them.}“S-Subordinates… I’ve never really had any subordinate in my life,” Mia responded in hesitance. Even though she was the owner of her house and properties of her parents, she never took advantage of that and misbehaved with her aunt or her family. She just didn’t have that kind of personality in her veins. “I’m not really good at ordering peop
Venkat and Nora were quarreling early in the morning.“Is it so hard for you to make a meal before I go to the office?” Venkat yelled in the hall.“Don’t shout!” Nora yelled back at him from the first floor. “I made you breakfast yesterday, didn’t I?”“What about today then?” Venkat raised his voice. “Do I have to specifically remind you to cook breakfast every single morning?”“Go eat outside. I’m sure you can stop by a hotel and grab a few quick bites,” Nora blurted.“I don’t like eating at just any place because I only want to eat hygiene food.” Venkat could only grind his teeth because she went into her room without even listening to him. The relationship between him and Nora was nice until marriage, but after that, they began to quarrel about every little thing because of difference in opinions. Neither of them had an understanding attitude, so this made it all the more frustrating for both the parties.“I should have married a patient woman,” Venkat muttered under his breath. Mi
Not far from the city where Gabe lived in, there was a town called Riverbed. With over 10,000 residents, it was a beautiful town known for selling delicious fish and prawns for relatively low prices compared to the city.In Riverbed, there was a particular shop called 21 Days. It was a small shop that sold country chicken and eggs. Right behind that shop was a house which was also owned by the same person.The shop owner, Baazee, was about the same age as Gabe. He sold one pound of chicken for five dollars. Because they were farm-raised chickens, there was always demand for the meat as well as the eggs.Baazee was in a happy mood because it was weekend time, so there were more customers today. His money box was also full now.However, the next customer changed his expression, for it was Sonia, a woman that he was supposed to marry.She took out a wedding card and gave it to him. He washed his hands quickly before taking the card. “Your younger sister’s marriage, huh. I will definitely
Baazee used to play football in minor leagues, and he was getting more famous every year. But during one game, he suddenly collapsed on the ground. After getting diagnosed, it was reported that his frontal lobe of the brain was affected by him hitting the football with his head so many times.Baazee might be a short guy, but because he was told that he wouldn’t be good at headers to pass or shoot the ball. This made him excessively practice header technique all the more from a young age.But after the diagnosis, the doctor told him that if he continued to play football, he could die from the brain damage. If not, he’d get dementia sooner or later.Taking all these things into consideration, Baazee decided to stop playing football. However, back then, he had no clue that his decision would not just end his professional football career, but also cost him Sonia.“I never asked you before, but why did you name your shop 21 Days?” Gabe asked. “I’m sure the shop had your grandfather’s name
Victor Fobb, a 29-year-old, was working as a private investigator. And his success rate was abysmally low, so not many people approached him to give work. It wasn’t that Victor was an incapable guy,but every time he received money, he’d focus on his personal mission more than the current task at hand. It was to investigate his dad’s mysterious death that happened almost eighteen years ago. His dad Wiley Fobb was a biological researcher who worked with the government on fields such as human immune response to infection. He suddenly went missing one day, and then his body was found along the shores of the southern river over a month later. This devastated Victor and his mother. The government officials came to their house and took every item belonging to his dad, even his dresses, watches, and glasses. And then, some people began to follow him and his mother from that day. They were gang stalking and gaslighting him and his family. This was when Victor began to realize that something
Gabe returned home almost three days after he set out to meet some of his friends.Ulf had been taking care of the puppies, and he already gave two of them for adoption, so only four remained now.{Are you satisfied with only two members in the pack?} Ulf asked. {And one of them is not certain, either.}“I don’t want to take just anybody into the pack,” Gabe retorted.[Then why did you go to Venkat’s house?] Systa asked him.“Because I just wanted to see how he’d react. I’m sure he won’t come to the place I told him to,” Gabe confidently said. “He has this nasty habit of not being able to digest it when others are happy. That’s the kind of guy he is. His ego will not allow him to come. And it’s better for us if he doesn’t come.”[Even if he does come, I doubt you’ll take him.]Gabe smiled. “Well, it all depends on how Venkat behaves. Anyway, I’m sure Venkat won’t come. That leaves us Victor and Baazee. They are both no-nonsense guys. And their lives aren’t in good shape, either. So I
A few minutes later.{Are you sure with your decision?} Ulf asked Gabe. {He doesn’t look like he’ll make a good addition. In fact, if he sticks close to you, he’ll learn the truth sooner or later. And then he could end up hating you and become your enemy. It’s not safe to have such a guy in your pack.}“He did shoot accurately, didn’t he?” Gabe reminded Ulf. “He does have the talent. If we had left him alone, he looked like he’s going to drown himself in alcohol. So, I thought of giving him a chance even though I was thinking of giving it to his younger brother Jamie. Let’s hope he’s brave enough to join my pack. We’ll find out tomorrow.”{Tomorrow is when you’re going to fight that woman Sansa, right?} Ulf frowned. “It’s a useless fight, if you ask me. If she wins, she’ll take the alpha system from you. If you win, they’re still not going to stop coming at you. There’s no real benefit for you by participating in this fight.}Gabe exhaled audibly. “There’s no other way. I can’t just r
