System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 411
Inside a private jet plane that was flying over forty thousand feet high from the ground, Russell and Jessica were having an arm-wrestling match with their little daughter Nora being the referee. She put her hand on Russell’s arm, which made Jessica angry.“Your dad already has the advantage,” Jessica helplessly laughed. “If you take his side, then I’m going to lose for sure. Why don’t you look out through the window? I just saw a dragon fly by.”“Eh? A dragon?” Nora quickly looked out through the window. Her eyes searched for anything that was flying. At first, she didn’t find anything, but when her eyes looked up, she noticed a few dozen figures dashing through the sky at a great speed. Her heart sank into her stomach for a second. She quickly turned and tapped her dad’s shoulder. “Dad, I think I saw ghosts. Lots of them.”“Haha,” Jessica laughed. “You’re trying to be cheeky now?”“I really saw them,” Nora said. “They were flying faster than our plane!”“Ah-huh,” Jessica smiled and

The jet crossed 60,000 ft and kept going higher, and the pilot couldn’t do anything about it.“T-The readings are all going crazy,” the pilot was sweating. He pressed very many switches, but none of them responded as he wanted. “W-What the hell is happening?”Their jet went higher and higher and soon reached nearly 100,000 ft. But they couldn’t even see the ground right now because of the layer of cloud completely covering their view, not that they cared to see the earth at this moment.After going higher for a little longer, the jet came to standstill.For that second, it was peaceful inside the jet plane, but then the jet immediately fell in a projectile manner.The pilot and everyone else felt like they were floating because they were above the jet stream now, and the air resistance was quite low. Parachuting at this height would be impossible to do as there would be no stability to properly control the parachute with little resistance offered by the winds.The pilot was just prayi

Nearly 1500 days ago, Dahlia and her friend busted a child-trafficking ring and managed to save over 3000 children. And they were having trouble with finding the addresses of some of these kids as they were either too young or too broken to remember anything.At that time, Russell helped find their homes with the hacking system and also sent them home in private jets.And what Dahlia liked about it was that Russell didn’t let the news leak to the media afterward, either. He used the hacking system to suppress all the information about it. He never boasted about that incident, even though he could easily have used that to greatly boost his public image. Whether he was thinking about the privacy of the children or he had some other reason, it didn’t matter as he did a good thing in the end.On top of that, Russell gave the hacking system back to them without them having to ask for it, so Russell’s name was included in the records of the phantom island as Russell ‘Rich’ Lynn, not because

“It is possible,” Dahlia replied. “But we don’t plan to destroy them all until we get all of them in our hands. Not all systems are bad, but most of them don’t have the ability to think like humans. They act like animals and react as per how they’re programmed. You can call it artificial instinct. If you step on a dog’s tail, it will try to attack you, even though you didn’t do it on purpose. The same is the case with most systems. Though, over time, they improved and became better, like with the Alpha System, but that’s only because they have probably rewrote or upgraded their own code to suit the changing times.”“They are capable of doing that?” Russell was startled.“Some of them are indeed capable of rewriting their own code,” Dahlia said. “Either way, they’re dangerous to humanity, no matter whose hands they’re in as they try to take control of their hosts most of the time. The reason the hacking system didn’t try to hack you is because we made it rewrite its own code so that i

“Considering the things you’ve done, the council has decided to let your family stay here for as long as forty fortnights,” one of the council members spoke with Russell.“Thank you for your kindness,” Russell bowed his head before them. Nora mimicked him and also bowed to the elders.“What a good-mannered child,” the female elder picked her up. “What do you love to eat?”“I like fruits and sweets,” Nora said.“She’s got a sweet tooth like her mother,” Russell said.“I quit eating chocolates, though,” Jessica snorted.“What’s your favorite fruit?” the female elder asked Nora.“Bananas,” Nora didn’t even need to think.“Then let me take you to the plantation,” the female elder said and was taking her away.“Daddy,” Nora called for him. “Come on.”Russell pursed her lips.“You think she’ll be here without you?” Jessica said in a low voice. “That’s not going to happen.”“I will stay here for a few days then and convince her,” Russell said.“Good luck, but what about the pilot?” Jessica a

Gabe brought Mia and his friends over to Eco Waves, which used to be Tuna Waves until yesterday.Gabe ordered items that were on the menu but only those whose recipes were given by his mother.“My mom is a chef in this hotel, guys,” Gabe happily told them. “She’s good, so you won’t leave the table disappointed.”Nevertheless, Dave ordered prawns and lobster meat. Baazee ordered roast lamb chops. Victor ordered vegetarian food.Mia was the only one who didn’t order anything because she was looking forward to eating Nicole’s dishes like Gabe, and he silently appreciated that.“By the way, Mia,” Baazee spoke informally with her, “you used to wear glasses in school, right? Why are you not wearing them?”“I can look better without the glasses now,” Mia replied. “But I’m surprised that you remembered that I used to wear glasses.”“You used to wear big glasses, so of course, I remember that,” Baazee said. “Don’t take this negatively, but you looked much better in those glasses.”“Well… every

Gabe told his teammates to come to his home the next day so that he’d give them the things that would change their lives. By doing this, he was also giving them one night to think about it.Later on, when Gabe and Mia were going home, she asked him, “What if none of them show up?”“It’s fine. You can’t build a good team overnight,” Gabe said. “Even if they all come, it’d take time to gel with each other. As the leader, it’s my responsibility to keep peace within the team, and that’s my top most priority. We already have enough things bothering us from outside, and the last thing I want is someone within the team messing up our minds.”“Yeah, Baazee was a bit annoying in that regard.”“He grew up in a small house full of relatives, where they quarreled about every penny for an hour,” Gabe said. “So, he’s probably been influenced by them, especially his grandmother. If we give him some time, I think he’ll change himself.”“I hope so.”A few seconds passed.Gabe was driving in his mustan

“So, yeah, you can have four dates with different girls for 20 dollars,” he said.“Is that so?” Mia squinted her eyes. “You sound very experienced in this field.”Gabe’s heart skipped a beat as he realized that he spoke a little too much. “U-Ugh, not really. It was a long time ago when online dating was the growing trend. Now, I’m much more grounded. I don’t know if we can both drink coffee for five dollars anymore.”“Is that so?” Mia calmly said. “Then let’s stop at a cheap restaurant. If the price varies from what you said, then it means you’re telling the truth.”“A-Alright.” Gabe felt like he was in a bad mood. All he could do was stop at a small coffee shop that didn’t look like it was even painted in at least five to ten years. He stepped out as a tense man, but Mia was smiling.It was already night time.Both of them sat at a table. The chairs were also old and delicate. “This is definitely the place,” she said.As a waiter came to their table, she looked at Gabe, “You should m

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.

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
