Sorry for the delay, guys. It was an intentional delay, but it happened, so I apologize. Thanks for your patience.
Ulmer was only a few years older than Gabe, and yet he had already been an emperor of one of the most mysterious places in the world, which was said to be technologically advanced and was believed to hold so many secrets of the world?This was something highly unbelievable to them. How can such a young man be the emperor of a great city? But this doubt then led them to realize that they never had such a doubt when they heard that Micheal was the emperor. Micheal was the same age as Gabriel, after all.“I know it’s hard to believe, but it is the truth,” Ulmer calmly stated. There was not even the slightest air of arrogance around him. He seemed very well composed and showed traces of being a ruler in the past, with the way he handled himself now.Just then, a lady in a long braid came to the backyard and served them food and drinks. She looked so pretty and homely. Mia couldn’t take her eyes off this woman’s braid.“She’s my wife Ayana,” Ulmer said as she sat down next to him. Her smil
“WHAT?” Gabe raised his voice.“Calm down, Gabe,” Mia quickly said and then looked at Ulmer. “We’ve told you our situation, and all the things we’ve been through. So, why can’t you give us some simple information on his brother? We’re not asking about some stranger. Michael is his brother. You yourself said that they both look similar. That’s because they’re twins who were born and got separated on the same day…”Ulmer’s expression slightly changed, but he was still crunching on the biscuit, which began to annoy Mia now.“Will you please stop eating and tell us something?” Mia asked.“It’s your family issue, so don’t drag me into this,” Ulmer said. “If you want to go to Syslon, I can take you there in a heartbeat. But… I want the assurance and surety that both of you will not steal a single system from that city or harm its citizens for no reason. Even if you think they’re being unreasonable, bear with it. I’m not telling you to not fight back if they attack you, but avoid any kind of
Gabe and Mia were brought back to Mia’s house by Ulmer.“I’ll come back tomorrow as you wished,” he told them. “I cannot help you on this trip, so you both will be having to deal with the things there while laying low. If they realize that you are outsiders, they won’t necessarily react negatively, but if an outsider also has a system that’s especially powerful, then you’ll be hunted down. After all, I was chased in the same way a few years back. The scars I have left on that city are yet to heal, so I’m taking a risk by sending you two. You are going there to find your parents and not for fighting. Don’t forget that, please.” Saying that he teleported away in the blink of an eye.“It’s not my first time seeing it, but it’s a cool ability,” Mia said. “I wish I had that ability. It’ll be pretty handy.”Gabe sat down on the couch, looking like a lot has been going on in his mind.“Why did you ask for a day?” Mia asked.“I think Systa won’t be able to accompany my mom while we go to Syslo
Sevyn woke up in Russell’s estate.To her puzzlement, she didn’t remember sleeping here, but she wasn’t too shocked because she trusted Mia, though she didn’t trust Gabe.Because Mia was around, she believed that Gabe wouldn’t have done anything stupid while she was sleeping.Nevertheless, Sevyn felt like her head was heavy and hurting a bit.Mia timely brought a big cup of coffee and offered it to her. “Drink it, and you’ll feel better.” She didn’t tell her that the coffee was made by Gabe who was in the kitchen.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have fallen asleep here,” Sevyn said, grabbing the cup and enjoying the fragrance.“Don’t mind it,” Mia smiled pleasantly. “You can stay here for a few days if you want.”“No, no, I can’t take advantage of your good heart,” Sevyn said.Just then, a fat young woman entered the building. Sevyn recognized her because she was their classmate Cynthia, the woman who used to eat the pencils and erasers of her classmates when she was little. If anybody bother
Slurp~!Sevyn purposely made sounds while sipping on coffee. It was proving impossible for Cynthia to control herself.Cynthia turned the TV on, but the mindless reality show was not to her liking. She also did not like how everybody was looking slim and fit on screen. Why were they wearing makeup and lipstick during filming a reality show?Sprawling out on the couch, she began to express her frustration. “When is the coffee coming? I don’t want cream, but at least add some sugar and bring some biscuits.”Soon, her nose caught the aroma of baked cookies, and her eyes lit up. She realized that the food was coming, so she sat up.However, when she looked at the person who brought coffee and cookies on a plate, she found herself staring at him. “Y-You are… Gabriel, aren’t you?”“Oh, I didn’t think you’d recognize me so quickly,” Gabriel wasn’t surprised, even though he looked quite different from his previous style. “I guess your brain didn’t get as fat as your body did.”Cynthia’s eyebr
“You want me to call you what?” Cynthia threw the cookie in her hand, but Gabe caught it with ease.“If I did something your dad couldn’t, what’s wrong with calling me daddy?” Gabe asked. “Didn’t you also take my pencils in the past? You depended on me even when you were a kid, so I don’t see why you can’t call me daddy.”Big red splotches appeared on Cynthia’s plump cheeks. “You little… Do you think you have become a hardcore man now just because you managed to marry Mia? I still remember you chasing after every skirt you see. You were one of the most pitiful and pathetic guys I’ve ever met!”A second of silence passed.Cynthia was huffing and puffing from yelling on a roll. She was about to pick up another cookie, but Mia grabbed her hand.“If you are going to insult my husband for no good reason, right before my eyes, then I’m not going to just take it to the chin,” Mia said.Surprisingly, Mia’s grip strength was felt by Cynthia who always thought of Mia as a shy, reserved, and frai
A few minutes earlier.Ray and Master Gabriel were both walking down the street, with a limousine following them closely.“Master, you should get into the car,” Ray requested him. “The CCTV camera feed will alert the government authorities, and they might hinder our mission.”“What information do you have on him?” Gabriel asked, his voice thick and strong.Ray began to tell him a lot of things, which went from bad to worse.“So, he’s not good at studies. He chased after girls from a young age and shamelessly saw to their needs…” Gabriel’s voice grew a little thicker. “This is what happens when you corrupt your blood with filth from the outer world. I feel ashamed to even think that a trash like this has my blood flowing through him.”At this point, they didn’t know that Gabe was the owner of the alpha system.“He’s not fully trash, Master. He’s been taking care of his sick aunt for years,” Ray added. “He grew up without his parents, and his aunt was bed ridden, so he didn’t have anyon
“Your car is already on its way, so you only have to wait until you see for yourself…” Gabe was telling Cynthia, but then he felt something in the distance.It was a minor disturbance in the atmosphere, which went unnoticed by Mia.But then, Systa’s voice rang in Gabe’s mind.[Gabe… we’re in big trouble. Someone just deployed a barrier and completely sealed this estate off!]The first thought that crossed his mind was to protect Cynthia and Sevyn.Mia was also alerted by her system a second later, and she looked at Gabe once before causing her female friends to fall asleep.“Who do you think it is this time?” Mia asked a bit nervously.“If they’re deploying a barrier to isolate this estate from the rest of the world, then they’re not going to be easy opponents,” Gabe’s heart was also picking up the pace. “Things are going to get worse if we get our people taken as hostages. You should go and put your family members to sleep as well. Hide them all in a room and guard it.”“Y-You want m
