Bertha returned to her room, where Carrie and Freddy were also there. Draco was playing a video game on his mobile.

Berthan snatched the phone from his hand.

“Grandma!” Draco shouted.

“WHAT?” Bertha glared at him, sending a shiver up and down his little spine. He immediately went to his mother.

“Mom, mobile….” he begged in a low voice. “Tell Grandma to give it to me.”

“Mom, why don’t you let him play? It’s not like he’s going to school tomorrow,” Carrie tried to reason with her mother.

“First, make him answer my question,” Bertha blurted. “What is nine to the power of nine?”

“We were taught that in school yet,” Draco quickly said.

“I don’t care. It’s simple math,” Bertha indifferently said. “Answer my question without taking anyone’s help, and then I’ll give you the mobile. Until then…” she pointed at the exit.

Draco’s mouth turned down, and he ran out of the room because his parents also didn’t support him.

“Hmph,” Bertha tossed the mobile on the bed. She was still in a bad mood beca

    “You want him? Are you sure?” Natasha asked, even though those were the words she was waiting to hear. “What’s so great about that loser Gabriel? I know he’s got some kind of a job, but that alone doesn’t make him worthy of you.”“You don’t know about him, so you don’t know how valuable he is,” Kiera replied.“Is that so?” Natasha looked very intrigued because she knew that Kiera’s standards were high. After marrying Zack, why was she wanting to return to Gabriel?Natasha, however, felt very differently about Russell. She didn’t want to be in a relationship with him anymore, but she also didn’t want him to be in a relationship with anybody, either.“What about you, Natasha?” Kiera couldn’t help but ask. “Don’t you want to get back with Russell? He’s the most popular man in the world right now. Just by being in his life, you can gain a lot of attention from every corner of the world.”“Why would I depend on him when I don’t like him?” Natasha snorted. “I’m already doing well for myself

    Mia and Jessica were busy dealing with Nora who was suffering from an upset stomach because she drank too much almond milk and so had to run to the bathroom a lot.Nicole and Bertha were busy blaming each other for Nora’s condition, saying that Nora drank the other person’s milk, which caused her this health issue.William was just sitting on a swinging couch and was drinking almond milk without a care in the world. But in his mind, the image of Nicole was flashing every now and then. “She’s really growing on me. Her smile, her eyes… they are pulling my heart out and toward her. What should I do? She doesn’t look like a soft woman. Will she fall for me if I secretly woo her?”Carrie and Freddy were busy watching a romantic TV show that Leona had set. Every time Freddy glanced in Leona’s direction, Carrie pulled his ear so that he looked at the TV instead.Russell and Gabe, on the other hand, were both sitting under a roofed but open structure in the garden.“So you don’t smoke or drin

    Russell and Gabe together were traveling in the ‘69 Mustang.“Do I really need to come along?” Russell asked. “I’m a bit busy, you know.”“It’s just for an hour, I promise,” Gabe said.“Who is this Samuel anyway?” Russell asked.“He’s a pitiful guy,” Gabe replied, “but he misbehaved with my mom not long ago. So, if I see him, I might lose it.”“So you want me to stop you in case you lose it and try to beat the shit out of him,” Russell said.“Uh, yes,” Gabe awkwardly smiled. “You understood what I’m thinking. Mia pities him a lot for what happened in the past, so I don’t think I’ll get angry at him, but he’s a madman, so I can’t take anything for granted.”Russell paused for a moment and said, “Do you believe in demons?”“Haha, where is this coming from?” Gabe asked, but Russell remained silent. “Don’t tell me… you believe in demons?”“Well, vampires are real, so it’s not a stretch to think that demons also exist,” Russell opined. “I have seen and dealt with some drug addicts who atta

    Gabe didn’t directly go to his home, but went through the route where Venkat’s house was.He purposely blew the horn and made Venkat see him and Russell sitting next to him.Venkat saw Russell and came out running, but Gabe waved his hand and drove away quickly, saying bye bye.“Dammit!” Venkat stomped on the ground. “I wanted to get his number.” He blinked twice. “Wait, what’s Russell doing with that fool Gabriel?”Gabe, on the other hand, was laughing happily. “He must be cursing me right now because I didn’t let him shake your hand.”“Actually, I’ll thank you this time,” Russell’s response surprised Gabe.“You will?”“Yeah. Back in school, he used to talk behind my back, telling others that I’m not a bright student and what not,” Russell said. “I didn’t ask him about it. I didn’t even ask him for the money he owed me.”“Did he pay you back?”“Of course, not.”“Haha, I don’t think he ever paid anybody a single cent back,” Gabe said. “That’s the kind of guy he is. He’ll still scold m

    “Yeah, I’ll try,” Russell was talking with someone on the mobile. “I can’t guarantee that I will attend it, though.” Saying that he ended the call.“Are they inviting you to the super bowl?” Gabe excitedly asked. “Are you going?”“Nah,” Russell almost looked tired. “They have been calling me for the last five years, but I’m avoiding it.”“Huh? Why?”“Because they’re all hypocrites,” Russell said. “They tell the public to stop driving cars as it’s causing pollution, but you know, nearly 1000 private jets flew in and out of the location where they held the super bowl last year. That means they spent millions of liters of gas for their trip on just that one day. Surely, they don’t give a shit about the environment. And the climate change crap they push on the masses is just them doing what they’re paid and made famous for. I learned about all this hypocrisy while I had the Hacking System with me. I must say, the one good thing that happened because of that system is that my eyes were ope

    “Mr. Samuel,” Russell called out his name from outside the front door. His left hand was near his waist, where he was hiding a gun. He was ready to use it in case the madman inside were to shoot at them.Gabe stood relatively calm. He was holding a six-tier lunch box.No response came from the inside.Russell looked at Gabe. “You said Mia fed him secretly, so why are we feeding him directly now?”“He probably hadn’t eaten in many days,” Gabe said. “So, we need to check up on him. I have seen him take food from others in the past, so if we offer him food, I don’t think he’ll refuse.”“I guess he’s not completely mad.”Gabe didn’t say anything, but one of the reasons he came here was also to make sure if Samuel was really not okay in the head, or was he acting? If it was the latter, then Gabe might never be able to forgive him for trying to harass and abuse Nicole.Just then, the door opened, but there was nobody standing on the other side.Russell immediately took his gun out.“Wait,”

    “All I want is justice,” Samuel said. “I don’t care who gets it for me and for Mia. I was heartbroken when I lost my wife and kids. Still, I can’t even imagine how she must have felt when she woke up on the hospital bed and was told that her parents didn’t make it. We’re not an isolated case, Mr. Russell. So many other families were erased the same way for trying to stand against Charlotte Heller. Her family has a history of doing wrong things, though they keep it very secret. If not for the ‘thing’ in me helping me, I wouldn’t have known all this about Charlotte and the Heller family. I’m positive that you know more about them than I do. So, I trust that you’d make her pay.”Russell didn’t know what to say. “Charlotte has been suffering from loneliness these days because her daughter also abandoned her.”“That’s because she earned money by shedding others’ blood,” Samuel retorted. “Blood money brings nothing but grief. However, that’s not enough of a punishment for the things she’s

    Gabe and Samuel kept on talking for more than an hour.Russell let them be and came outside, wearing a complicated expression. “My grandfather tried so hard to be with me, but Gabriel’s grandfather separated Gabriel’s parents from him. There really are all kinds of grandfathers in the world. It’s crazy to think someone would hurt their own daughter and grandson to this extent. And such a man is the head of the Agnar family, the strongest of the three supreme families?” he kept shaking his head. “Things can’t get more messed up than this. Also…” he looked at the file in his hand. “What should I do with Charlotte? Should I take the situation into my own hands? Is it the right thing to do? Or should I give this file to Kyra and let her decide?” He felt very conflicted, too, because giving this file to his ex-wife, Kyra, would mean that he’s putting all the burden on her now.Meanwhile, inside the house.Samuel put his hand on Gabe’s shoulder. “I used to fight in UTS with your dad, you kn

    “Whoever manages to defeat that ‘worthless’ brat will get to keep the omega system.”The moment Gabriel Agnar uttered those last few words, all the nine standing members of the Jaguar squad rushed toward Gabe without a shred of hesitation.They were all elite warriors his grandfather had commanded, all intent on claiming the power that lay still dormant within Gabe."Stand down, brat," the third ranker Bennie called out, her voice layered with authority. "You cannot hope to win against us. Surrender, and you may yet find mercy."“You monsters who are ganging up on me, do you even know what mercy means?” Gabe retorted and countered Fang with a punch.Surprisingly, Gabe’s punch seemed simple but the weight it had was tremendous. Fang was pushed back.But at the same time Stark kicked Gabe’s face.Once again, Stark expected Gabe to be sent flying, but Gabe took the attack without even moving an inch.And it was Stark who frowned in response.Zephyr raised his hand, stopping others from a

    “It’s time to return,” Gabriel Agnar said, and these few words changed the body language of all the squad members.In that moment, they let their guard dawn, a small figure dashed in through their ranks and attacked their patriarch Gabriel.Gabriel saw through the first feint and responded accordingly, but the second attack also turned out to be a feint just to distract him so that they could pluck the severed hand out of Gabriel’s hand.And they managed to grab the hand, but no amount of pulling was enough to get the severed hand out of the old man’s grip.Everyone was startled after seeing the young kid who gave off an ethereal energy, which they could sense.This young kid was none other than Ulf.“What do you think you’re doing, kid?” Gabriel asked him.“Ha-ha, good afternoon,” Ulf replied awkwardly, “or is it evening now?” He grew triple in size and clenched his fists. “Omega Arts Secret Move…” He threw in a straight punch at Gabriel’s chest. “Final Fist!”Gabriel took the attack

    At Russell’s estate.Zephyr, the head of the Jaguar Squad, struck Gabe’s chest with his palm. A shockwave burst through his chest and ripped the back of Gabe’s shirt in the shape of Zephyr's palm.Gabe coughed out a lot of blood, and his eyes nearly turned white. He was about to fall back.Zephyr caught Gabe’s throat and squeezed it. “If I kill you, then the Alpha System will be ours.”“Gabe!” Mia ran toward him. “No!”“Where do you think you’re running?” Pixie, the number five, blurted. Her green hair extended forth like tree vines and sought to capture Mia.Mia moved swiftly and dodged a few vines, but the hair grew branches like trees, and they were sharp enough to pierce through Mia’s body.Her torso and limbs were riddled with many thin holes.She bled from the nose and mouth and couldn’t move at all. She felt completely frozen.Pixie pulled the hair out and retracted them. Mia fell to her knees.Seeing all this, Gabe’s blood thrummed beneath his skin. His heart pounded with the c

    In ancient times, serpents had wings and feet, and they were called by many names. One of those kinds were also called Dragons.So, dragons were indeed serpents with wings and legs. Even in the modern day, dragons were worshiped in some places. Some martial arts were derived from dragons, too.However, Alleria’s martial arts were not related to dragons but of a different serpent kind, whose existence had been erased from history..When Alleria was young, she spent her time in the woods, and the most difficult enemies she faced were the monstrous serpents that lived in that forest. This made her wonder just how much stronger would the serpents be if they had legs, too, as they did in the past.This led Alleria to search through her clan’s library and find the ancient serpent art books. And she picked one that she believed would be the most challenging.And thanks to her collective efforts, she managed to become the head of one of the Eight Enigma Squads, the Serpent Squad.The Ancient S

    Alleria was sent flying through multiple walls, and she ended up crashing into the tables of the precious customers.“That hurts…” Alleria’s cheek bruised, and she bled from a corner of her mouth.“W-Who are you?” The customers were all shocked because this woman was wearing armor underneath her cloak, and there was even a short sword at her waist. “Are you a cosplayer?”“Who was that little girl?” Alleria got back up, looking quite irritated because her cloak was dirtied by the food, so she had to remove it. She looked sturdy despite her age, and she was nearly six feet tall. Many men in that hall hadn’t seen such a well-built woman with attractive looks like that before. “Call herself as my grandmother,” she cracked her neck, releasing the gas bubbles from the joints in her spine, “let’s see if you’ve really got what it takes to utter such words.”She rushed into the bathroom, but to her surprise, Systa and Nicole were gone.“What?” Alleria frowned. “I didn’t see them leave.

    Nicole was getting out of the taxi, but Systa held her hand and stopped her. “I’m not feeling the urgency anymore. Can we go somewhere else now?”Nicole couldn’t make sense of Systa’s words. The little girl was struggling until seconds ago, and she’s fine now? Something didn’t feel right. Whether Systa was playing games or not, Nicole didn’t want to take the risk. “I’m taking you to the toilet room once.”“Ugh,” Systa hissed at her. “Listen to me.”Nicole was startled. “Did you just hiss at me? And why are you gritting your teeth?”“Because you don’t understand the trouble that you’re in!” Systa blurted. “Driver, turn the car around and get going.”The driver, however, looked at her with a silly expression as if Systa was not the one who’s going to pay him for the ride.Systa didn’t like that the driver was treating her as a little girl. She wished she could show her powers to him, but because of Nicole, she had to hold herself back.“Can you wait here for half an hour for us?” Nicole

Put me down.”“Get used to it,” Nicole pinched Systa’s cheeks. “You know, I watched Gabe grow, but I missed watching a girl grow. I didn’t have a daughter, you see. So, I feel like keeping you with me for as long as possible.”“S-Stop pulling my cheeks!” Systa found it annoying because her skin was not perfectly authentic human-standard.“Stop acting like that,” Nicole stopped pulling the cheek and gently rubbed it. “You’re a girl, so you’re going to raise kids one day.

There are nanoparticles, graphene, and even parasites in those chemicals, which will mix with water, food, and can even enter people’s bodies through their skin.

    “It’s one thing that James lost, but for Atarah to lose to this brat…” The number one ranker of the Jaguar Squad, Stark, spoke. “This is quite shameful.”“Indeed,” Fang, the second ranker, opined. “I feel a little embarrassed since I’ve trained James for over a month now. For him to lose without even taking an opponent’s limb is quite disappointing. I hope he’s not dead.”“James is the last ranker, the number 10 of the squad,” the zeroth ranker and the head of the Jaguar Squad, Zephyr, replied. He had a sharp mustache and was cleanly shaven. “He’s the weakest, but Atarah is the ranked fourth in the squad, and she let her younger comrade lose. So, she failed both as a teammate and as an individual fighter. She needs to be punished for her mistakes later. But for now…” He glanced at the number five ranker, who was a green-headed female, Pixie.Pixie stepped forth and treated Atarah’s injury with her vivre. It was as though she was conducting surgery with her vivre, using it as needles to
