System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 393
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

“If you want answers for stupid questions, then you’ve come to the wrong person!” Russell clenched his fist and fearlessly went for a punch. The masked-man didn’t move an inch. He didn’t even bat an eyelid, but Russell’s fist was forcibly moved out of its path and completely missed hitting the opponent. “The hell?” Russell looked quite baffled. “The only reason your arm is still attached to your body is because I was told by our clan head to give you some face because you’ve been doing some good work these past few years,” the masked-man said. “However, all that good work won’t save you if you continue to piss me off. So, answer my question. Who has the Alpha System now?” Russell frowned slightly before saying, “Ah, wait… I remember it now. I think it’s in your grandmother’s grave.” “...Do you want me to push you from this height, Mr. Russell?” the masked-man asked. “Your family members won’t even be able to recognize your body if you fall from this height.” Russell calmly smiled

In the underground fighting hall.When Gabe entered the hall with Mia and Baazee, Victor and Dave saw them and recognized them.But they couldn’t even get close because there was so much crowd around them already, and they couldn’t move from their seats.Gabe and Mia were called to the VIP Box, where the likes of Rubel, Eunice, and others were waiting.Rubel shook Gabe’s hand with a bright smile and said, “I’m betting on you winning today, so do your best.”“If I do my best, you are going to cry,” Gabe answered quickly.“Pardon?”“Cry from happiness, I mean.”“Oh, ha-ha,” Rubel forced out a laugh.“My husband naturally cracks dry jokes,” Mia backed Gabe. “Please don’t take that as an insult or anything.”“Oh, it’s fine,” Eunice intervened. “We need at least that much spice in our lives to make them tasty. While Gangsta is fighting, why don’t you sit with us?” She offered Mia a seat next to her.“How can I sit next to the governor?” Mia responded humbly. “I’ll just stand on the side of

Sansa was in one of the rooms next to the fighting hall, with her father also present there, dumping makeup on her face. “Dad, is make up really necessary right now?” she asked. "And you're putting it terribly. I could have done way better." “A man knows how to decorate a woman more than women do. Also, do you know how many kingdoms fell because of a woman’s beauty?” Bilan asked her back. “Do you really want me to seduce 'him' in the middle of a fight?” Sansa retorted. “Do you think so low of me?” “No, I’m not telling you to do such stupid things,” he brushed her cheeks with powder, giving final touches. “You just gotta smile a little, and that should distract him enough. After all, my daughter is very good-looking. I’m sure he’ll be distracted when he looks at you and you just have to smile at him.” “Ugh, I can’t believe I’m letting you do this,” Sansa didn’t want to do all this, but Bilan was forcing her. “Trust me, you’ll easily win against him if you play your cards right, Sa

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

Bennie created a blue chain with her ‘vivre’ and threw it at Mia.Mia moved around to dodge it, but the chain traveled like a snake, bit on her shoulder, and dug its fangs into her body.Mia felt her energy being sucked away.“Stop struggling,” Bennie smirked. “We’ve been fighting before we learned how to walk properly. Did you think you could beat us because you were chosen by the luna system? From what I can see, you can’t even use it well. So, it’s only right that we take it from you.”As Mia’s energy was getting sucked away, yellow petal flowers began to form in front of her body.The flower slowly turned into a yellow rose.“Is that the luna system?” Bennie’s eyes lit up. “It does match the description I know of.” She pulled the chain and snatched the yellow flower, but Mia also grabbed the chain and didn’t let go. “Just give up already.” Bennie pulled the chain with all her strength.Mia roared, and the yellow rose burst into petals and duplicated themselves into thousands and t

“Cloud Step.”Zephyr’s body seemingly turned into fog and disappeared into thin air, startling both Gabe and Mia.Mia couldn’t even tell which direction he went, but Gabe rushed over to her and blocked a powerful attack of Zephyr.“Bane Jolt.” Zephyr cried out, releasing a poisonous purple energy through his fist.Gabe was getting pushed back.“Let me help you!” Mia stepped past Gabe and thrust a kick in Zephyr’s ribs.Zephyr’s angry gaze shifted to her. He pointed his left forefinger at her. “Bone Bullet.”A sharp bullet made out bone energy pierced through her abdomen.It was so painful she couldn’t even cry. She staggered back in shock.Before Zephyr could shoot another condensed energy bullet, Gabe caught that forefinger and snapped it.Frowning, Zephyr pulled his hand away, but to his shock, Gabe released lightning and roasted that finger at the same time.As a result, the finger got burned to crisp and separated from Zephyr’s body.Zephyr’s eyes widened as he wasn’t expecting th

Gabe held Mia in his arms and dashed away with all the power his legs could muster.“If only I could use that teleporting ability…” he was frustrated with the fact that his current level wasn’t enough to pull off such an ability even once.Nine members, like a pack of wolves chasing after two stray wolves, were after Gabe and Mia with the intention of killing them and getting their hands on the precious systems at any cost.However, the only problem they had was that Gabe was traveling on rooftops, and any major confrontation between both parties could destroy the buildings and disturb the citizens, even causing casualties in the process.Gabriel Agnar would severely punish them if innocent people were to get hurt in the process of acquiring systems, so the head of the Jaguar squad, Zephyr, cast a heavenly spell.It was almost like a magic spell, which condensed all the vapors around them and created a massive cloud at a ground level, which spread out for miles upon miles in every dir

“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
