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?
A few minutes earlier.“Haa!” Gabe broke Daniel’s ankle by twisting his foot with all his strength.Daniel screamed like a little swine.Gabe pulled Daniel’s leg so that the big guy crashed down. He locked Daniel’s leg with his own leg and then locked Daniel’s face with his arms like a wrestler and then squeezed it so hard Daniel’s jaw cracked.The five other big guys, who were watching, started to come for help, but Gabe growled, “Tell them to stay back!” He put more pressure into the face lock and also bent Daniel’s leg backward.Daniel screamed so loudly and also yelled at the other guys to stay back, afraid that his neck might just break.“If you ever come to my house and even fall in my eyes roaming in this neighborhood,” Gabe warned in a chilling voice, “then I’m going to make you eat your own shit. You understand?”“I understand,” Daniel replied while crying so hard he frothed at the mouth.Gabe let go of him. “Get lost, Daniel. Tell your sister to stay away from me, or I’ll be
Bart fell on the neighbor’s roof.Gabe was running forward, seemingly to jump onto the neighbor’s roof, but Mia stopped him. “That’s enough. You are bleeding.” She used her scarf to tightly wrap it around his head.“I have to break his bones, Mia. Otherwise, he’s going to attack you again,” Gabe said in a shaky voice because his whole head was hurting.“Look, he’s not getting up,” Mia said. Bart had indeed lost his consciousness. “We’ll deal with him later. First, you should get treated.” She grabbed her phone with her bloody hands and dialed for an ambulance, but he stopped her.“There’s no need. This wound will heal by itself,” he said.“Huh?” Mia looked at him as if a screw in his head had gone loose.“Can you close your eyes for a few seconds?” he asked.“Why?” Mia looked confused. Just what reason could he have for him to ask such a question?“Please,” he softly said.Mia quickly shut her eyes.Gabe then turned away from her and took out the copper ring from his underwear before
“Is it true that Daniel Foster got beaten by someone?”“He broke his ankle and has wounds all over his body, but he said he fell from the stairs.”“Falling from stairs will break the head. Not the ankle, right?”“Yeah, I also think that he’s lying. Someone probably gave him a hell of a beating.”The people in the neighborhood where Cynthia lived kept talking about Daniel. He didn’t have a particularly good image because he mostly showed off in front of others. And he also was a stingy guy who wouldn’t ever pay a penny when dating someone. In fact, all the girls that dated him ended up paying for what he ate. Naturally, he didn’t have a good image in the youth circles.“Gabe…” Cynthia was gritting her teeth like never before. “How dare you humiliate my brother like this?” Ever since the incident happened, Daniel had locked himself in his room and wasn’t letting anyone inside. He didn’t even go to the hospital to get his leg treated. “I can’t let you off after what you did to my brother
