Mia and Gabe waited until the cemetery’s owner came. He had many bodyguards and gunmen with him. He didn’t even talk to Gabe but left a couple of his men to stop them from leaving. And then he went into the cemetery first and was rather stunned and angered by what he saw.The bodyguards who were standing in front of Gabe and Mia were staring angrily at them. Mia was upset by it.“Why are you looking at us like we’re criminals?” she asked them, but their expressions didn’t change. They kept staring intensely as if Gabe and Mia were their sworn enemies or something.“Don’t bother about them,” Gabe turned Mia to the other side.One of the bodyguards then smirked and commented, “She’s got a nice little ass, doesn’t she?”Mia definitely heard that and frowned. “Do you want me to ignore that as well?”“No,” Gabe turned back to face them.“What’s up, kid?” one of the bodyguards snickered. Because Gabe had his haircut, he looked five to ten years younger, so these bodyguards mistook him for s
Mia and Gabe were in the car, and Mia was driving it now after asking Gabe to switch places.“Please be careful when you drive,” Gabe said.Mia raised an eyebrow. “Are you saying that out of worry over me, or the car?”“Obviously, both,” he replied.She could only sigh. “Did you tell your mom the same when she drove this car?”“Uh, I think I did?”“You don’t sound confident.”Gabe didn’t say anything.“I guess you still are a mother’s boy first.”Back to the present, Gabe was smiling at her.“What is it?” she asked because he didn’t give her the reason why he’s smiling all of a sudden.“I never imagined I’d give a blank check to someone,” Gabe said. “I feel kind of cool right now more than when I did it.”“Mm…” Mia could definitely see so much improvement in Gabe as well as herself. She was a soft woman, but after receiving the Luna system and training with it, she realized that her confidence was steadily increasing, and it was reflecting on her behavior, too. So, she told herself th
The car stopped outside Mia’s house.Gabe was smiling ever so brightly. She could see a dozen of his teeth. She brought him to her house because she could make him look after the house construction happening there. So, why was he smiling like a blooming flower now? “Why do you look so happy? Did you think of a joke or something?”“No, you brought us here because no one would disturb us here, right?” Gabe said, making her heart skip twice. “Your aunt, uncle, and the other annoying parties won’t be here. We can both spend as much time together as we want. We can bathe for a few hours straight, and no one would disturb us.”Bathing a few hours straight? Mia imagined herself sitting naked in Gabe’s lap, and it made her flush like a ripe tomato. “Y-You’re imagining too much.” She didn’t think Gabe could think so erotically, and she didn’t know what to say. “Husband and wife don’t have to bathe together, do they?”“What are you saying, Mia?” Gabe spoke like a pundit. “It’s very common for w
Mia was waiting in the hall while Gabe was bathing. She could hear him sing because of her supernatural senses, and it made her smile and shake her head.When was the last time she sang while bathing? She didn’t even remember ever doing it before. That was the kind of a boring life she had lived.“I should change myself so that I will enjoy my life better… together with Gabe…” she thought.Just then, someone entered the hall, pleasantly surprising Mia because it was a school friend and the top ranker of the class Sevyn.She looked a bit dull. She came straight to Mia and sat next to her.“Is everything alright?” Mia slowly asked. “You look a bit off.”Sevyn looked around. “There’s no one here, right?”“Gabe is there, but he’s upstairs, bathing in my room,” Mia said.“Oh…” Sevyn took a breath and looked at Mia. “Do you have any bad habits?”“Bad habits?” Mia looked a bit perplexed. “Why are you asking me that?”“In our class, you were the only one with a clean image,” Sevyn said. “The
A few minutes earlier.While singing, Gabe was washing his hair and was also thinking about the blank check he had given to Luther.“Should I have written a million dollars on it instead?” he wondered. “A million dollars… everything started with that promise of a million dollars from Systa, but now I have so much more money. I thought my life would be settled with that much money, but life isn’t so straightforward. I have stepped into the supernatural, and it still feels like there’s so much more I need to know about the powers that be in this world. To think there are demons in this world… just thinking about it is giving me shivers. Does that mean that the figures in the mythology and all really used to exist. Some of them may be fake, but some of them have to be real.”Just then, Sevyn entered the house and began to talk to Mia, and Gabe first found it hard to believe that Sevyn was a smoker. “I don’t think it’s hard to quit watching porn, but smoking? That’s gotta be tough. I pers
A few minutes later.Gabe came downstairs, looking fresh. Sevyn was a bit surprised to see him. He looked so young, fresh, and different. His thick neck supporting his long face made him look masculine yet cute.Gabe, who was confident a few seconds ago, didn’t feel as confident after actually getting closer to Sevyn.“It’s still hard to believe that you married this guy who chased after almost every girl in the class,” Sevyn openly commented.“He didn’t chase after me, though,” Mia replied.“But you must have seen him do chores to other women, right?” Sevyn said. “He’d sharpen pencils for Natasha and others. I’m sure she even polished the shoes of some girls a few times. He’d carry their bags and baskets. Everyone used him like a slave back then. Even seniors and juniors treated him like he’s born to work for them.” She was looking at Gabe without blinking. “Are you still like that, Gabriel, or… do you still keep staring at every girl that passes by?”“N-No,” Gabe embarrassedly said.
The moment Mia saw the four strange men at the door, she looked at Gabe. He quickly turned Sevyn’s head by the chin, startling her.“What are you…” While Sevyn was taken by surprise, Mia snapped her fingers, and the four men found themselves inside a desert with not a single tree or plant in sight. There weren’t even any clouds as far as they could see. And it was brutally hot.At the same time, Sevyn was also taken into another dream world, which continued exactly where it cut off in the real world.“What are you…” Sevyn looked at Gabe in a bit of a shock. She swiftly slapped Gabe’s hand away.“See, you got angry so easily,” Gabe said. “That means the chances of you being possessed are not low.”“Huh? What sort of stupid logic is that?” Sevyn snorted out hot air through her nose. “Aren’t you just using an excuse to touch me? And that, too, right in front of Mia!” She looked questioningly at Mia. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”“He didn’t mean anything wrong,” Mia said.Sveyn couldn
“Millions of dollars… or a life full of misery,” the four masked men cackled in a subdued manner. “You choose.”Gabe and Mia both had systems, and both of them were now capable of telling if the other person was lying or not. So, they couldn’t move right now.“What do you people—” Mia was saying, but Gabe raised his hand and told her to stop. “What’s wrong?”“Asking questions is not how you should proceed with these kinds of people,” Gabe told her and stepped forward. “The more you give in, the more they take from you.”“Take another step forward, and I’ll break an arm,” the one in the black dress warned. He even started twisting the arm of the doll to an extent.“My family is safe. I know that much,” Gabe replied. “As for my friends… I don’t have any friends that I will bawl my eyes out because of their death. So, you can go ahead and break the arms or neck or whatever you want.” He began to crack his knuckles. “However…” The wind all around suddenly got heavier and choked them. “Don’
