“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

The next morning. At Tuna Waves. “They don’t say knowledge is power for no reason,” Russell was talking with all the employees. “If we know better, we do better. Thanks to a certain chef, we came to know a lot of new things. I’m someone who believes that old blood as well as fresh blood are both important to keep a business running longer. Though, Mrs. Nicole might not like being referred to as young blood, she still had the same effect on our restaurant. She surprised us and our customers in a good way. So the chef of the month award goes to her.” Russell handed Nicole three items as this was a tradition. The items could vary every month. Nicole received a check worth 10,000 dollars. And a wooden cutting board of pristine quality. Last but not least, she also received a golden spoon. Everybody clapped for her as receiving a golden spoon was only possible if more than half the chefs in the restaurant voted in the person’s favor. It was an acknowledgment of the chef’s skills. “You

Victor Fobb, the private investigation specialist, came to the address that Gabe had given him. He was told to come in the evening, but being an investigator, he came in the morning itself.“A meat shop?”However, he was rather bewildered and confused that the address Gabe gave was that of a meat shop.“Why does he want to meet here?” He used his scrutineer’s brain and then decided to enter the shop. Everyone in the shop looked very fat and big. These were not ordinary guys. They looked like they could wrestle with bears for fun. It was his first time seeing four men that were nearly 200 cm tall. And they were hacking beef bones like they were lamb chops.The moment Victor entered the store instead of staying in the line, the eyes of the big workers fell on him, but they didn’t stop him. They just continued what they were doing.Victor went to the deepest end of the shop and saw that there was another door. As he was reaching for the door knob, the old man standing by the door said, “

Victor entered the underground stadium which had 12,000 seats built around the arena. He initially thought it was just underground boxing, but as he began to ask the staff members and found out more details, he was repeatedly surprised. “Under the Skin… to think such a powerful organization exists in this place… I’m sure the governor and others know about this. They must be receiving their commissions.” However, he then saw the information board and realized that the governor was one of the chief guests. At the time, he didn’t know that it was the governor of UTS for this zone and mistook it for being the governor of the state, so he was genuinely shocked. “Why did you give me this address, Gabe? Does it hold any clues to my father’s death?” He continued investigating in his own way, and time passed very quickly. In the afternoon, Dave arrived at the meat shop. He was the guy that tried to shoot and kill Gabe for living in Zuri’s house. Dave also received the same treatment as Vi

Gabe’s POV: Recently, I broke out of the bubble of illusion and awakened to the reality of the supernatural and the evil that surrounds us… all too well. And it wasn’t a pleasant feeling, knowing the existence of wicked criminals and vampires who had no standards or morals and corrupted everything that was good, and these wolves in sheep’s clothing were the direct enemies of humanity and its integrity. Who can understand my frustration from knowing the truth that my parents might still be alive and yet not being able to find them right away? Who can help me gather evidence for what might be the craziest of journeys I’ve ever had? Who can help me seek the truth and fight the world in the process? Who can help me battle let alone kill the cancer plaguing humanity from the inside through pointless wars, divisions, and propaganda? Is putting an end to this reign of evil even possible? Sadness, disappointment, and anger embittered my heart ever so silently as I was staring out throu

The governor of UTS for the city, Rubel, and his wife Eunice who was the governor of the state were both traveling together in a pristine white limousine decked with gold. They were on their way to the meat shop.“Why is there so much hype for this match?” Eunice asked while sipping on wine. “I don’t get it. One is just an up and coming fighter who calls himself Gangsta. He did show some promising skills, but is he really worth all the attention he’s getting?”“You wouldn’t say that if you knew who his dad was,” Rubel said.“And who would that be?”“Do you remember Robert Brando?”“Pfft,” Eunice ended up spilling the wine out of her mouth.The driver stopped the car immediately. “Is everything alright, ma’am?”“Yeah, keep going,” Rubel’s eyes shone, and he hypnotized the driver who then focused solely on driving the car, not at all paying attention to what was happening behind him.“That brat is Robert Brandon’s son?” she looked at him with shock. “Then why the hell are you supporting

At Russell’s Tower, which was a 143-floored building built in Creed Zone. “Is it really necessary to do this?” Russell was talking with someone on a private line as he was standing next to the helicopter on the rooftop. “I don’t have a good feeling about this.” “Me, too,” Sansa replied from the other side, “but my people are not listening to me. I will try my best to keep him alive, Brother, but I cannot guarantee Gabriel’s life. My people will not want him to exist because he can be an unnecessary variable. On top of that, we’ve got information that Black Crows are on the move, so we’re pressed for time.” “So whether he wins against you or not, there’s going to be a fight, huh…” Russell frowned. “How low can the Aeson family stoop, Sansa? Is this really the same family from five years ago when you people helped me and my mom?” “We didn’t change, Brother. It’s just that… the importance of Alpha System is making my clan do all this,” Sansa explained pitifully. “That’s the reason why

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. Even though I’m covered

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
