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 was sitting in the front row and was watching the friendly fights take place. This wasn’t his first time seeing fights like these, but right now, he was having a bit of a revelation.As he saw the fighters win the battles and seek attention, and get angry at those that booed at them, and displayed all kinds of so-called human emotions, he understood how vain these things were.Surely, the winners did earn a lot of money, but at what cost? Most fighters did not just try to win, but tried to crush the opponent so that they’d never be able to fight, much less look in the eye in the future.And the audience watching these fights were very harsh to the losers, and very friendly and favorable toward the winners.The only relief that Gabe could feel was that he did fight to impress others but more to impress himself, and also earn money at the same time.However, what would he have done if he didn’t have the alpha system with him? Would he have even dared to take part in such brutal fig
All the preliminary matches finished, and everyone was eagerly waiting for the main match of the day to start.But before that, the governor was supposed to give a speech.Rubel brought his wife along. Eunice had an owl mask on. They soon got onto the stage and waved their hands at the crowd, and they were very good at it.“Ladies and gentlemen,” Rubel said with happiness and pride, “I’m very happy that my wife has come to grace tonight’s event. And we are happy to announce that the winner will have a special dinner at our homes tomorrow.”His words made everyone clap, but Gabe remembered the past when his parents were also invited to Rubel’s house. And so, Gabe felt his blood boiling already.“Even though it’s a fight between a man and a woman, I have no doubt that this battle of sexes will give the thrill of a lifetime,” Rubel said. “I don’t want to keep you all waiting for long as I myself am very eager to see this match. So, let’s get this started.”Soon, Rubel and Eunice got off
There were no horns blowing like in a war, but only a whistle blown by the referee to signal the start of the most anticipated match in UTS in recent times, especially considering that both the fighters were not even in the top thousand ranks.Sansa’s eyes radiated like twin flames of fire as she leaped forth at Gabe like a lioness with no angst or agitation.She threw a punch as a feint and immediately backed it with a knee kick in Gabe’s abdomen. She was extremely flexible, so her momentum helped her land the blow even though Gabe saw the attack coming.Gabe reacted fast and pressed her leg down with his hands.She swiveled her other foot and used it to whip a kick at ribs, landing perfectly this time. Gabe moved back a few steps, but neither of them showed any change in their expressions.“I heard that kick from this far, and he tanked that kick like it was nothing! How can she win at this rate?”“Hey, she’s probably just warming up. You didn’t see her previous matches, which is wh
“The supreme families are like the sky. You are nothing but a cordless kite. The sky can’t be kicked away by the kite!” Sansa swirled and unleashed a tornado kick to his face. Gabe blocked her kick with his wrist. “That hurts. A dancing foot and a nagging mouth are indeed a deadly combination. At this rate, it will be hard for you to find a spouse.” “Shut up,” she pulled her leg back and thrust in his chest fast like a bullet, sending him flying over the ropes, making the jaws of the audience drop and their eyes pop. Gabe somersaulted and landed on the shoulders of two people in the crowd, both of whom were also fighters, so they were able to bear his weight. Many people thought he was over a second ago, but now, they were astonished by his balance. “Sorry, guys,” he apologized to them before jumping down and running toward the stage. He slid under the ropes and got onto the stage. Sansa didn’t look surprised that Gabe didn’t suffer any injury. “What do you know about me to talk
