Gabe sat among the Skinners, and they all kept giving him cold looks. Even though he had won, there was nobody to congratulate him, even though there were more than fifty people around him at the moment. But he wasn’t too bothered by it because he didn’t join UTS to make friends.Gabe watched the ongoing match because a gorgeous brown-haired girl was fighting a male boxer. He was quite fast, and he could have easily knocked down most female professionals with ease, but this girl was agile to the point she was able to efficiently dodge his attacks.Gabe could tell that she was stronger compared to the opponent, but his eyes were focused on her legs not just because those curvy legs melted his mind but also because the birthmark on the side of the knee was strangely attractive. He also had a mole on his knee, so he had a pleasant feeling while watching the girl fight. She dodged and dodged until a spinning kick to the jaw sent the opponent down.She might have won with a single attack,
Gabe was supposed to come home straight, but the company’s taxi driver took him to a restaurant, saying that a special person was waiting for him.And to Gabe’s surprise, the restaurant he was taken to was Sweet Song restaurant, which was famous for its live piano-play in the background.To add to that surprise, the person that was waiting for him at the table was someone he had talked with just a few minutes ago.It was a short, petite beauty with a bright smile. It was Rica. With long golden blonde hair, she looked like a different person. Was she wearing a wig while working as a referee then?Rica got up from her seat and only sat down after Gabe took the seat.“Wasn’t expecting this, were you?” she grinned childishly. “I don’t know if you’ll win the next match or not, so I thought I should have the date tonight.” Her hazel-eyes pulled his attention.Gabe was sitting up straight and staring at her. He gulped once and leaned closer. “I didn’t think you were interested in me.”“Why w
The pretty pink lips saturated with the tequila were so sweet, Gabe’s mouth and mind melted in tandem. This was not a gentle kiss but a wild one as she brushed her pair of lips against his lips and painted them with a lovely flavor no lipstick could ever hope to replicate.And then she moved on to his face, his straight nose, his not-so-strong but beautiful chin, followed by his strong neck. And then she returned to his lips, breathing life into his lungs.Every fiber of his being jumped in ecstasy.It was a fairytale kiss.It felt amazing.It was way more romantic than anything he had ever experienced. He totally wanted this to continue and have a fairytale ending, but then Rica stopped kissing all of a sudden and had this slightly amused grin on her face.“May this give you enough strength to win the battle tomorrow…” she ran her forefinger down his face. “If you do succeed, then I’ll give you a fitting reward.”Gabe swallowed his breath and smiled. “Rica…”Rica’s eyes slightly enla
A skin-colored taxi stopped at Gabe’s home, and he stepped out and thanked the driver and was about to tip him, but the driver said it was not necessary. Even though Gabe insisted, the driver refused to take the money and left.“I’ve never seen a worker refuse a tip like this,” Gabe wondered. “He didn’t look like he’s in a bad mood.”[You were going to give him ten dollars, so of course he’d not be interested.] Systa barked.“Huh?” Gabe raised his voice. “Ten dollars isn’t a small amount!”[Tell that to the driver, not me! Next time, give him a thousand dollar note.]Gabe’s jaw dropped. “Yeah, so I can become a beggar within a year, right?”[Being an alpha doesn’t just mean fighting with your fists.] Systa patiently explained. [You will need to win the hearts of those who are serving you in the same way you’ll beat the crap out of those who betray you! So, you should be magnanimous when it comes to giving money to others. I’m going to unlock the money-making system’s abilities, so sto
Two black SUVs stopped outside Gabe’s house.Eight tall, heavy men dressed in black suits stepped out. If they were to stand side by side, they would cover the width of the street and some more. One of them was more fat than he was muscular. It was Cynthia’s one and only brother, Daniel Foster, the infamous bully back in Gabe’s school days.He used to forcefully take anything from other students whether it be pens or books or even lunch boxes. One of the school teachers was his uncle, so nobody dared to complain about Daniel back then.“See if that little punk is inside,” Daniel lit up a cigar. “If he is, then drag his ugly little ass out.”“Yes, Brother.” Two of the men in black suits started walking toward the house.Inside the house.“As long as I’m around, I won’t let you cry,” Gabe assured his aunt. “Even if I’m married, I will take care of you. Even if you’re married, I’ll take care of you.”“You say like that, but things will change after you get married, whether you like it or
Daniel and the five other big guys with him were waiting outside, expecting to see Gabe dragged out.However, the one that pushed the curtain aside and stepped out was Gabe and Gabe alone.It had been a while since Daniel had seen Gabe, so Gabe looked a bit more manlier than he had expected.“Daniel Foster…” Gabe stood at the entrance and said loudly, showing that he was not afraid of him.“Gabriel…” Daniel uttered. “It seems the nickname ‘Gabe’ that our science teacher gave you has become your main name now?”“I know why you came here, Daniel, but it was your sister who first messed with my car. What I did in return was me really going easy on her. If you’re really her brother then you should discipline your sister instead of coming here. Turn back and leave, and I’ll forget this ever happened.”“This bastard dares to threaten me?” Daniel growled. “Beat the crap out of him!”The five big guys quickly acted and tried to surround Gabe, but Gabe didn’t let them. He jumped ahead and caug
A few minutes earlier.Mia has had a headache since morning. She had taken three tablets and drank coffee four times, but the piercing pain in her head wasn’t going down. The reason was probably because she couldn’t sleep well last night. A part of her wanted to call Kiera and confront her for what she had done, but another part of her just wanted to forget it because it was her fault to get tricked by Kiera.She might have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because of Kiera, but she didn’t want to have anything to do with Kiera anymore. She wanted to completely forget about the fact that Kiera even existed in this world. However, shoving the whole incident with Kiera under the mat for her own sake was proving anything but easy.All her passion toward making designs evaporated, and she couldn’t find it in herself to even look at any design anymore.As if what she was going through wasn’t enough, things in her house weren’t going good, either.Carrie and Freddy began to quarrel in t
Bart took out a yellow flower from his pocket. “Mia, please take this system and use its power to find where my system is.”“W-What?” Mia’s heart skipped many beats.“I need to find out where it is before it’s too late,” Bart requested. “Please, do this one thing for me.”Mia couldn’t tell whether he was telling the truth or not. There were many reasons why she had refused to have the Luna system, but one of the main reasons was that it was given by Bart.Bart was the kind of man who’d give you one dollar only if he expected to receive ten dollars from you. If she were to take something like a luna system from Bart, then it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he’d want to have a say in everything she did for the rest of her life. And of course, he’d also demand her to marry him. Considering all these things, Mia returned the system before she even fully understood what these systems were.But right now, Bart was asking her to use the system for finding his system, which he somehow lost?
