System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 69
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

Gabe had never fought a battle this intense before, and he was yet to register a win against the golem that very much looked like Claire, a tall woman with bountiful proportions.Systa had installed the software in Gabe’s body to make him a fourth degree master in karate. He was able to neatly execute Raising Punches, Elbow Strikes, Parallel Punches, and Scissor Punches without compromising in his speed to a significant extent.He executed Foot Sweeping kick, Low Roundhouse kick, Jumping Front Kick, and even the Crescent kick.His punches and kicks were solid, but so was Claire’s defense. Gabe sweated like a pig that had run a marathon, but Claire looked like she was completely unhurt, which only bruised his ego.“Is Claire really this strong?” Gabe asked in frustration. “My arms are hurting when I punch her. My shins are still throbbing in pain.”[You have to fight through the pain and land a double kick as we had an agreement,] Systa coolly stated. “There’s no other way. Don’t focus

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
CHAPTER 493
“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
