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 brought his aunt back to home and told her to not worry about anything and sleep. He went to his dark olive lamborghini that was parked not far from his home.To his surprise, the words ‘I love you,’ were written on the windshield with chalk.It annoyed him. He wiped it with his sleeve before entering the car and driving away.Moments later, Zuri walked out of the shadows and grinned. “I wanted to use his four best friends to get closer to Gabe, but I only learned yesterday that they fought him and got beaten by him. I didn’t believe it at first, but then the people kept talking about Gabe beating heavily built bodyguards that belonged to some powerful security unit. How come a nobody like Gabe who used to swallow his breath if I so much as looked at him for two seconds somehow became capable enough to resist my charm? I have to get to the bottom of this, so I can certainly make him mine.”Gabe drove through different streets and stopped at Cynthia’s house, but he didn’t get out.
Bad luck had been Gabe’s best friend for as long as he knew this world, and so he was not all that surprised to hear that Rick and others advised against marrying him. Gabe could only force himself to smile because Rick was at least honest about it.“Are you married now?” Rick asked.“No, but I’m trying,” Gabe replied in a bit of a disappointed voice.Rick put his hand on the side of Gabe’s shoulder. “Take this as an old man’s advice to a struggling young man. Before thirty, you think you can marry whenever you want, but once you go past that thirty mark, you’ll have to roam until your sandals wear out, and there’ll still be no guarantee that you’ll get married. It’s even worse for women who are past thirty and are still unmarried.” He slightly frowned. “My daughter is in her mid twenties, and she’s so obese she wouldn’t be able to walk down the passenger’s aisle because her butt is too big. She has to turn half away to the side to walk down the aisle,” just talking about it brought t
Seeing the lamborghini speeding on them with every fraction of a second, the three ladies ran toward the footpath.Gabe ran the car onto the footpath, making them run back to the road, screaming like terrified chicken. They thought he was going to run through them, but he curved the vehicle past them and stopped it right in front of them at such close range they ended up hitting the side of the car before they could stop themselves.Gabe lowered the window and said, “Who’s the boss?”“W-What?” they didn’t get what he was talking about, or at least acted like that.“Who—is—the—boss?” Gabe asked again and he wasn’t even looking at them. He revved the engine up, skipping their heartbeats.“Y-You are! You are the boss!” all of them said in unison.“Yeah, now get inside,” Gabe uttered.“W-What?” They looked at each other’s faces, thinking that he might do bad things to them if they were to get in his car.“Do you want me to step out?” Gabe raised his voice.“No!” All three of them rushed
[Why did you roll your eyes and laugh when I said I’m the alpha of alphas?] Systa asked Gabe as he was driving home. “If you’re the alpha of alphas, then who’s Jesus Christ?” asked Gabe, casually. [...] Systa went silent. Soon, Gabe stopped the vehicle at his usual parking spot, which was in the alley. Zuri came running to him and said in a hurry, “Gabe, the Madman is harassing your aunt! You should quickly go and save your aunt!” Gabe’s heart trembled at once. Madman was the biggest drunkard in the neighborhood. After losing his entire family in an accident, he had gone crazy. His relatives had forcefully taken over his house and kicked him out onto the streets. All these affected his mind, and he had become a crazy beggar ever since. The kids would mock him and toy with him every now and then, even though the parents would do their best to keep their kids away from him because there was no telling how this man would act at any particular time. When Zuri said that Madman was ha
The mobile in Gabe’s hand dropped.Mia’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly picked up the mobile, but Gabe still looked frozen. He couldn’t believe that Mia had actually asked him to marry her. The woman who always looked beautiful in his eyes even without makeup just asked him if he would marry her. He thought this was a dream. It was too surreal for him, after all.“Gabe,” Mia hesitantly said, “will you be husband for a while?”Gabe’s expression slightly changed. “F-For a while? W-What do you mean?” He couldn’t get his head around that phrase. Was the happiness swelling in his just a short-living thing like the froth of boiling milk?“C-Can we talk privately in the park?” she asked.“N-No, let’s talk here,” he shut the main door.Mia right now didn’t mind what neighbors would think. She sat down on the second-hand chair. He sat next to her in another chair.“Gabe, you worked for a day in my house, so you somewhat know how my family members behave,” Mia said, locking her hands togethe
