System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 478
A few years earlier.“Why did you have to side with just the Arris family?” Russell was arguing with his grandfather. “You should have allied with the other two families, too.”“I would have if it was possible,” Regan didn’t even want to talk about it. “I wanted the Arris family to build the infrastructure for Creed Zone. That’s all I thought about at that time.”“But the Arris family is not the strongest. It’s the Agnar family that’s the strongest out of the three supreme families,” Russell retorted. “You think they’re going to just watch as you give some of our profits to the Arris family every year? They will wait for the right opportunity and then take revenge on us. They live on a remote continent, Grandpa. They don’t depend on tech like the rest of the world. If they all decide to come at us, I will not be able to do anything to them with my hacking system.”“You can also hack people’s minds and bodies with that system, can’t you?” Regan asked him.“Yeah,” Russell deeply frowned

The air was thick with tension and the scent of impending rain, as Gabe and Atarah were in a stare off like predators that had crossed paths.Atarah’s daggers moved ever so slowly, and the shadows of those daggers danced on the ground and whispered secrets and echoed the horrors of all the souls she had taken with them.The woman, who was infamously known as Steel Rose, by many people in the underground who feared her strength and skill now set her sight on Gabe.She had the habit of hunting treasures and collecting bounties, turning the hearts of men to dust in the process.Now, she was planning on at least turning Gabe’s heart to ice.“As you wished, I’ll force you to spit out everything,” Atarah stepped ahead, her dagger releasing a burst of cold energy that froze the surface of the earth and the nearby plants and bottom parts of the trees.Even Gabe’s legs were covered with frost, but he released lightning and easily freed himself before he thrust his palm forward.Gabe’s palm met

The rose white petals attacked Gabe while the dagger attacked Mia. This was a move which showcased just how much experience Atarah had got over the likes of Gabe and Mia.These people from the Agnar clan were all battle-hardened, after all.Gabe used all his speed to dodge the attacks and rush in Mia’s direction, but Atarah brought her foot in between and made him fall and roll.The dagger rose out of the ground right in front of Mia, soaring straight at her heart, seeking to turn it into ice.In that fraction of a second, Mia’s adrenaline rushed because she didn’t want to die. The fear of dying brought out something that was bound to happen one day.Yellow petals formed out of thin air and swirled around the dagger and brought it to a halt right before it hit Mia’s heart.Atarah’s expression changed as she saw the yellow petals shimmering gently under the sunlight.{You have achieved the Lunar Blossom!} Stemmer’s excited voice rang in Mia’s mind. {Even though it’s late afternoon, the

Gabe put the strength of a hundred elephants behind his kick, thanks to his ability of increasing his weight as much as he wanted to.The only downside to his skill was that he would feel his heart becoming heavier and harder to breathe for sometime. Otherwise, he could add more weight to his body.Despite Gabe putting enough strength into the kick, he was not satisfied with the result.After all, Atarah wasn’t even blown off her feet. She slid back on her feet and managed to stay on feet.Gabe tightly clenched his fists. (I was trying to kill her with that move, but I barely broke two ribs. The ethereal energy around her body also injured my foot. It feels cold and it’s hurting from the frost. To think that even her vivre has the attribute of coldness attached to it… defeating her won’t be easy.)[It’s not just the vivre around her body, but her body itself was strengthened by vivre.] Systa’s voice rang in his mind. [ Her ribs should have shattered after taking your attack, but they

Atarah was taken aback, feeling as if she stood on the edge of a crumbling precipice, not out of fear from what she had seen in her opponent but out of ample surprise and shock. Thoughts whirled through her brain as fate had provided her with an invaluable opportunity by earning the honor of bringing the Alpha System back to the Agnar family.At this moment, she wasn’t even considering that Gabe was the grandson of the patriarch of the clan. Perhaps, in the back of her mind, she was well aware that Gabriel wouldn’t agree with Gabe joining the family. After all, Gabriel didn’t let his own daughter return to the clan even though he raised her on his shoulders. So, why would he be showing any sentimental emotion toward Gabe who he had no prior attachment to?Atarah didn’t have the time or luxury to think about all this, either, as the air crackled with lightning, thickening the tension and charging their souls with the raw energy of the impending confrontation.Gabe stood tall and poised

The two elemental energies fought for supremacy, and Mia who was watching their battle felt nervous. She wanted to jump in and help Gabe, but she wasn’t sure if she’d really be able to help or end up becoming a burden again.Mia thought that she had become strong enough, but after seeing how differently an experienced fighter like Atarah was using their techniques and tactics, Mia’s confidence took a big dent.With each passing moment, the intensity of the battle magnified.Atarah sent swirling arrows of ice at him nonstop.Gabe threw his arms at the arrows, deflecting them in every direction, redirecting some of those arrows back to her.Gabe reformed his energy into a spiraling tempest of lightning that spun towards the opponent. In response, Atarah conjured towering blue ice walls to shield herself from the attack.Gabe broke through the shield with effort.As if she expected that, projected shards flew with deadly precision toward him.Gabe couldn’t dodge in time, and the shards st

Atarah fell.The dragon constructs she had, however, still attacked Mia and Gabe. One attacked Mia. Another attacked Gabe. The third one focused on rescuing Atarah.“How the hell are they still able to move?” Gabe had to expend more lightning energy to not just resist but overpower the dragon’s cold breath attack. “They are capable of doing tasks even after their creator is down and out?”The dragon flapped its wings and sent cutting slashes of cold energy at him, to keep him at a distance.Gabe found it annoying because these dragons were pretty fast despite their size. Instead of trying to get closer to the dragon which was flying, he ran over to meet up with Mia who was still under Stemmer’s control.Mia was able to use psychic energy to cover her fists and deflect the ice attacks that came at her.Gabe was surprised to see that. “So you can use psychic powers?”{You should be able to use them, too.} Stemmer replied through Mia. {Your body maybe tired, but your mind can still work.

“It’s one thing that James lost, but for Atarah to lose to this brat…” The number one ranker of the Jaguar Squad, Stark, spoke. “This is quite shameful.”“Indeed,” Fang, the second ranker, opined. “I feel a little embarrassed since I’ve trained James for over a month now. For him to lose without even taking an opponent’s limb is quite disappointing. I hope he’s not dead.”“James is the last ranker, the number 10 of the squad,” the zeroth ranker and the head of the Jaguar Squad, Zephyr, replied. He had a sharp mustache and was cleanly shaven. “He’s the weakest, but Atarah is the ranked fourth in the squad, and she let her younger comrade lose. So, she failed both as a teammate and as an individual fighter. She needs to be punished for her mistakes later. But for now…” He glanced at the number five ranker, who was a green-headed female, Pixie.Pixie stepped forth and treated Atarah’s injury with her vivre. It was as though she was conducting surgery with her vivre, using it as needles to

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. Even though I’m covered

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
