System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 92
Roxy gave her phone number to Gabe before leaving with a necklace that was much simpler than what Shane had offered.Gabe waited at the counter, sitting in the manager’s seat, waiting for the boss. The manager personally brought drinks and sandwiches. Gabe happily had a meal and patted the manager’s shoulder.The manager smiled very much because he expected a handsome commission from this purchase.A few minutes later.“Your boss is taking so long,” Gabe checked the time. “I have to go home, you know. My aunt will be waiting for me.”Just then, a golden blonde entered the store. Wearing a sparkling dress, she looked like an ethereal beauty.Gabe’s eyes widened. “N-Natasha Pennell?”“Gabriel, so it was you, indeed,” Natasha smirked. “What are you doing here, pranking about buying my store?”“Ma’am,” the manager quickly intervened, “he wasn’t pranking. He had over a hundred million in his bank account.”“What?” Natasha was a little startled for a second, but she didn’t look like she bel

Gabe came home, having parked his car in the alley as usual.Mia was with his mother. From the happiness on Nicole’s face, Gabe wondered if Mia had talked to her about the marriage. Did Mia also tell Nicole that it was just a fake marriage?“Gabe, come and sit,” Nicole brought him and made him sit next to Mia. “You two look so good together. I’m so happy now. I won’t mind even if I die tonight.”“Mom, don’t talk like that,” Gabe pinched her. “You’re going to live at least fifty more years.”“Fifty?! You’re being too greedy, Gabe,” Nicole pinched his nose. “Nobody lives 100 years these days.”“I’m not being greedy. You have a long life ahead of you,” Gabe confidently said. “And you’re going to marry someone and have kids.”Mia’s jaw dropped, and Nicole’s jaw dropped even lower.“H-He’s just joking, Mia. Don’t mind his eyes,” Nicole hurriedly said, looking embarrassed. “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”“Mia!” Gabe looked at her. “Doesn’t my aunt look young? Won’t there be a man

Irene gave golden bracelets to both the bride and the groom. Mia hugged and thanked Irene, but Gabe asked her, “This looks like real gold. Did you marry a millionaire or something? Otherwise, you’re not the type to give even a penny to others.”“If you don’t want it, then give it back,” Irene tried to take his bracelet back.“No, I want it,” Gabe didn’t let her take it back. He knew the value of money, so he happily took this gift. It might not be a big deal to him right now, but it might come to use later on. Who knows?“By the way, Irene, do you have kids?” Gabe asked.“Why?” Irene icily asked.“Nothing. You gave us gifts, so I want to give some gifts to your kids as well.”“They already have too many dolls to play with, so no thanks,” Irene said and then took Mia to the side. “I know I shouldn’t be saying this after marriage, but are you sure of this? You’re rich, and he’s poor. You’re beautiful, and he’s got cross-eyes. It’s a fake marriage, but still what will others think?”“Let

Mia’s car stopped outside her house.“I’ll see you later,” Nicole told Mia before exiting the car and going to her home.Gabe was sitting next to Mia in the car.A minute passed.“Why aren’t you stepping out?” Gabe asked. “Are you feeling tense?”“Yeah. Kind of,” her hand slightly shivered. “I wonder how my aunt would react.”“It’s okay.” Gabe was about to put his hand on her hand, but stopped midway. She noticed that but didn’t say anything. “I’ll speak for you.”“Don’t do that. It’ll only make them even angrier,” Mia said.“Then, you want me to be silent?”“As much as possible. I’ll deal with them when I’m around, but when I’m out, you can deal with them however you want,” Mia said, sounding almost certain. “Just as long as you don’t physically beat them.”“What if they attack me first?”“Run away from the house and wait for me. You can do that, right?” She peered at him through her glasses, awaiting his response.“What if they come to my house and misbehave with my aunt and attack

Mia and Gabe were entering the house, but Mia stopped him and told him to put his right foot first. He asked her why, and she told him that she read in some book that it would bring good luck.Gabe wanted just that. Loads of good luck. Otherwise, how would he be able to make Mia look at no man other than him and him only?Holding his hand, Mia entered the house, not at all realizing that Gabe’s heart was running fast because no woman had ever held his hand like this, not even Kiera who had dated him in the past.Carrie and her son were sitting right on the sofa. She was watching her son play a mobile game and beat his friends and strangers online. And she was proud of him for winning most of the time. “You’ve really got the skill to play these games, Draco, but you played enough for today. Give me the mobile now,” she snatched the mobile from him before he could say anything.“Mom, that’s my friend’s mobile. Be careful with it,” Draco said while standing on his toes.“Why did your fri

After three minutes, Carrie brought food items and arranged everything on the table before standing on the side.“Who’s going to serve?” Mia asked. “Your grandfather?”Carrie frowned and began to put one food item after another. There were five different items.“Every day, you get to eat different varieties,” Mia said, “but who’s money is it?”Carrie didn’t answer.“It’s my parents’ money,” Mia added. “If we eat like this, more than what we need every day, then even a million dollar mountain will reduce to nothing in a few years. That’s why, I want either you or your husband to do a job and support this family. Whoever does the job outside doesn’t have to work here, but whoever doesn’t do a job outside will have to work within the house, whether it’s cooking dishes or cleaning the toilets. Tell this to others.”Carrie’s eyes widened. “You mean you want to tell my dad to work also?”“He’s only in his fifties, isn’t he?” Mia asked. “And he wants to retire already? He hasn’t been doing a

The next morning.Bertha woke up at around 6 o’clock, which was a bit later than the usual time she got up because she had kept scrolling the website, looking to buy jewelry last night, and hadn’t bought anything in the end.To her surprise, Carrie was still sleeping next to her.“This girl, it’s already six, and she’s snoring like a pig,” Bertha snapped and elbowed her waist. “Wake up, you fool! Who’s going to cook breakfast for Draco if you’re dreaming with your mouth open!”“AHH! Mom!” Carrie angrily got up and bit on her mother’s ear, making Bertha cry out loud. Luckily, Carrie soon let go of her mother’s ear and then jumped off the bed. “You never woke Mia up this roughly. You always wake her up gently,but you treat me like I’m made out of wood!” she growled and then left the room in quick but heavy steps.“How can you and Mia be the same?” Bertha muttered under her breath. “You’re my flesh and blood, so I care more for you, idiot. Otherwise, I would have long called the police a

Mia woke up at around seven o’clock. Her eyes felt puffy, and she couldn’t see her surroundings just yet. She began to stretch her body and yawn, which would help realign the muscles and the fluid in her back.However, her eyesight soon turned normal, and she found herself being stared at by Gabe who was sitting in the sofa, with one leg over the other, smiling at him very subtly with the lips, but there was a glow in his eyes. Heck, it was so romantic she ended up pursing her lips and blowing air into her mouth to stop herself from smiling and blushing.“Good morning,” Gabe said.“Good morning,” she put her glasses on and looked at Gabe again. He looked even more striking and handsome even though he was wearing simple clothes. He looked like a million dollars now. Surely, Gabe didn’t grow in handsomeness overnight, but why did he appear more attractive now? What changed in her that made him more appealing? Was it because she found him uttering her name in his sleep that made her deve

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
CHAPTER 498
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
