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
“No problem, Atarah,” the man in the brown hood raised his finger, and Logan suddenly felt like he was bound by an invisible rope. With a wave of his finger, he pulled Logan toward him. “I’ll start with his tongue as you wanted.”Logan released a burst of energy through his body, but the ropes were surprisingly sturdy. They withstood his energy. “What the hell is this ability?” He felt helpless as he got pulled toward the man in the brown hood who leaped forth.“Silent Seal!” He waved his hand ferociously.Logan felt an immense but invisible power strike him from the front, which made him cough up blood. He felt like his energy was being drained when it was actually being sealed.“Hahaha,” the man in the brown hood wildly laughed as he put his fingers in Logan’s mouth and grabbed his tongue and was pulling it out.Logan thought he wasn’t just going to lose his tongue but also his life right now.Suddenly, something flew toward them like a bolt from the blue.“Blake! Watch out!” Atarah
“Why don’t you show me what you got!” Blake leaped toward Gabe, grinning like a beast full of anticipation and excitement, and unleashed an avalanche of fists, which Gabe blocked with visible effort.The first impact shattered the calm. Following that, each impact caused the towering sunflowers in the distance to dance wildly. Atarah’s hood was also blown back, revealing her face. She had slick-back hair and a chiseled face that could comfortably cut through any man’s heart. She raised her hand and blocked an attack that came out of nowhere.It was Mia’s kick, which was blocked with just Atarah’s forefinger.Mia frowned in shock. (I put my strength into the attack, and she blocked it with a finger? Just how strong is she?)Mia landed on her feet and squatted down to dodge the diagonal kick crafted by Atarah, but she could see that Atarah’s eyes were following her closely. It was as if Atarah could see Mia moving in slow motion.Atarah changed the direction of her kick midway and broug
Atarah saw the explosion on the barrier, and Blake almost got sent out through the first layer of the barrier.“Interesting. Even though you’re not big, your brute strength almost matched Blake,” Atarah tossed Mia aside and turned to face Gabe. “You are definitely worth fighting. But if that’s the best you can do, then you don’t have a chance of defeating me.”“Why are you people here?” Gabe asked her. “What’s your reason?”After seeing Atarah let go of Mia, he didn’t feel the urgent need to fight her. So he was trying to extract as much information as possible.“Didn’t Blake already tell you that you need to defeat him if you want to know why we’re here now?” Atarah replied. Even though there was a glow in her eyes, her lips always made a straight line except when she talked.Gabe’s gaze shifted in the direction of the barrier, where Blake used the barrier as a cushion to bounce off of it and then fly back toward him. “So he’s not done…” Gabe clenched his fist tightly. (I didn’t want
In an open restaurant, Gabriel and Ray were sitting at the same table.Ray didn’t look that comfortable because he had never sat at the same table as Gabriel, so he felt both honored and nervous right now.The waiter brought the premium beef, but before he put it on the table, Gabriel said, “Don’t. It smells like poop. Take it away.”The waiter was shocked by Gabriel’s overly crude remark.“We’ll pay for it, so take it away,” Ray told the waiter. “Bring us water instead.”The waiter nodded and left, still looking shocked.“The oils they used to make that beef are so bad indeed,” Ray said before Gabriel could say anything. “If we eat that, we’ll get sick. If all the other restaurants are like this, then we’ll have a hard time filling our stomachs.”Gabriel opened a file and was reading it. The first page had information on Russell Lynn. “This guy Russell Lynn seems to be quite popular.”“He’s quite successful, indeed,” Ray replied. “He’s a multi-trillionaire, and is called the richest
