System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 100
Gabe’s heart rate increased from seeing Mia in an appearance he had never seen before. He got up from his seat before he knew it.Carrie also walked out of the kitchen to tell Gabe to not bother her son, but after seeing Mia, she was slack-jawed. “That’s the Reyes’ family heirloom, isn’t it?” she muttered under breath. She always wanted to wear those jewelry, but she never got the chance. “When they were appraised almost two decades back, they were worth upwards of a million dollars. Now I can’t even imagine what their price could be.”Mia came down and showed herself to Gabe like a wife seeking her husband’s attention. “How do I look?”“Like the brightest star in the world,” Gabe said. “Can I kiss you?”Mia was surprised by his request. “Sure,” she put her hand forward.Gabe was hoping to kiss her on the cheek, but a hand was better than nothing, he thought. Liking her smart reaction, Gabe gently held her hand and kissed her. “Grace this chair, your highness.”Mia chuckled a little b

“I’m probably not the first guy who praised your looks,” Gabe continued to speak with her, but he wasn’t staring into her eyes anymore. “But I don’t think it’s healthy for me to continue to live in your room while hiding all the feelings in my heart.” He looked at her face again. “I still remember the first time I saw you. You were eating tamarind candy outside the school. A vehicle horn startled you, and the candy slipped and fell on the ground. You hesitated to pick it up at first. You then looked around to see if anyone was watching. Probably nobody was looking except for me. You wiped the dirt off the candy and put it in your mouth again.”Mia’s brows frowned in embarrassment as she still remembered that incident. To think that was when Gabe first saw her… she felt even more embarrassed now.“You brought a smile on my face that time, Mia,” Gabe said, smiling through his eyes, “and I have always been watching you from a distance. You mostly minded your business. You were a silent t

William went to meet his son Bart. It took him an entire day to find Bart because Bart had been running away from one place to another so that his father wouldn’t see him while his nose was broken.Eventually, Bart got tired of running and decided to meet his dad. When William saw Bart’s condition, he went speechless for a second.“W-Who hit you like this?” He tried to touch the bandaged nose but Bart didn’t let him.“Nobody,” Bart blurted, albeit in a low voice. “I fell from the stairs, and this happened.”“Fell from stairs and got an injury like this? Do you think I’m your child?” William slapped his shoulder. “I’m your father, you fool! Tell me who hit you.”“Nobody hit me,” Bart didn’t change his story. “Forget about me. Why are you looking for me?”“I’ve been trying to call you, but your phone is switched off,” William said, “so I had to come looking for you. The thing is… Mia got married.”“WHAT?” Bart was stunned. He grabbed William’s shirt and lifted him up. “You better not be

The black Benz SUV stopped at a big shopping mall.Carrie and Bertha hurriedly got out of the vehicle, and they were sweating even though the air conditioner had been running inside the car. “I’ve never seen such reckless driving before,” Carrie’s heart was in her mouth.Freddy, however, wasn’t as afraid as those two women were.Mia’s heart was still racing faster than normal. She tried not to look like she was scared by how fast Gabe had driven. “It would have been nice if Draco was here.”“You can just buy him some things, and then surprise him when he comes back from school,” Gabe suggested.“You’re right,” she smiled and got out of the vehicle. She went to Carrie and told her to be extra careful because she wasn’t just carrying a half pound worth of gold on her body but also Mia’s family’s history.Carried locked her arm with her husband’s. “Freddy is with me, so who can touch me?”Mia looked coldly at Freddy. “If something happens and even one ornament is lost, then I’ll hold you

Woman of his dreams?Mia couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes when she uttered these words that touched not just her ears but also her heart.She grew up in a family where everybody wanted to use her. Even if they helped her, they had some kind of a hidden agenda behind that. So, Mia was very much used to spotting the desires and necessities of others. When Bart told her he wanted her, she saw lust but not love; however, when she looked in Gabe’s not-so-beautiful eyes, she found something difficult to comprehend. There was some kind of fire and light in his eyes, and she could feel its warmth when she was next to him.“S-Shall we… go?” she asked, fumbling for words like a kid just learning to speak.“Sure,” Gabe’s hand reached out for her hand. “If you don’t mind…”She lowered her head, but then her hand grabbed his hand, with love knocking on the doors of Mia’s heart as they walked every step together.Whenever the breeze brought his scent over to her, her poor-little heart began t

Mia was thinking about calling her aunt so they could also have the cake, but to her surprise, Gabe kept eating and eating until none remained. There was no hesitation in him when it came to eating, and she liked that.“If you want, I can make them pack the cake for taking home. You can give it to your family,” Gabe suggested.“They don’t pack food for home here, Gabe,” Mia said.“Leave that to me,” Gabe went to the vendor and talked with him. He even pointed at Mia, which puzzled her. The vendor smiled and then packed one kilo of the crumble cake. Gabe paid using the 50% coupon but gave the remaining 50% money and some more to the vendor and then returned to Mia with a little bit of a proud look.“You probably paid extra,but why did you point toward me when you were talking with him?” Mia asked, adjusting her glasses.“I told him my wife loved the cake and wanted more to surprise her family,” Gabe said. “The vendor was happy to make an exception.”“Um,” Mia fiddled with her earring f

“WHAT? The necklace was stolen?” Mia almost fainted. Gabe had to hold her from falling. Luckily, she didn’t lose consciousness.While it was a necklace weighing around 100 grams and would sell for at least half a million dollars in the current market, the reason for Mia’s shock was the emotional bond it had with her. Last time, Mia’s mother put the necklace on the day before her death, and she also made Mia wear that necklace back then. It was one of the strongest memories she had.Mia’s heart lost strength after knowing that it was stolen. She didn’t even think about scolding Carrie right now. That thought didn’t cross her mind.“Leave it to me, Mia,” Gabe held her arms firmly and said with assurance. “I will find the necklace no matter what and return it to you.” As he said those words, she looked into his eyes and really believed what he said.Gabe rushed away without even asking for any details from Carrie.Carrie hiddenly smiled. (This idiot. He doesn’t even know how the thief lo

After Freddy promised Gabe that he’d listen to him, Gabe asked him to take out the necklace, but Freddy was hesitating.“Do it before the girls find us,” Gabe hastened him.Freddy reluctantly took out the necklace. Seeing Mia and Carrie in the distance, he went past Gabe and gave the necklace to Mia. “I got it.”Mia was so relieved to see the necklace that she didn’t mind thanking him. Freddy happily smiled, whereas Carrie went speechless. She was not expecting Freddy of all people to bring the necklace back. This boiled her blood for many reasons. Did Freddy double-cross her? The thought itself was indigestible.Mia’s gaze eventually shifted to Gabe. She came over to him and said, “The thief wasn’t caught, but you tried. Thank you.”“Don’t mention it,” Gabe forced out a smile.Mia then went to Freddy and Carrie and scolded them for their carelessness, but then she also told them they could buy things up to 7000 dollars. And they were extremely happy for the 2000 dollar increase she b

Gabe and Mia were falling down from miles high.Gabe’s legs were still wrapped around Mia’s waist, so their fall was rather awkward.“If we crash like this, both will get injured,” she quickly said.“I-I will do something,” Gabe resisted the urge to grab her cheeks and kiss her in midair, but he believed that this opportunity might not come again.So, he quickly went in for a kiss.Mia put her hand on his mouth. “This isn’t the time!”Just then, her eyes widened as she saw people jumping from the ship that was above them.“Shit. I think we’ve been spotted,” Mia nervously said. “We have to escape.”“Leave it to me,” Gabe smirked and then tightly hugged her.“What are you-” Before she could finish her sentence, Gabe turned into a streak of lightning and traveled through the sky in a zig-zag manner.Within seconds, he crossed tens of miles and landed on a tree top.All the twelve warriors were startled by the speed at which Gabe had traveled.Nevertheless, they used their flying boots to

At a sea port.Gabe and Mia were hiding behind tall rocks at the shore and were observing the people shoot laser bullets at the sea beasts and then bring their bodies to the shore.They harvested crystals out of their bodies, which leaked out a strange but familiar energy.“I have never seen such creepy sea monsters, and what are those weapons?” Mia was a little nervous. “There are laser weapons in this world? I thought it was just fiction.”“They don’t just rely on weapons,” Gabe pointed. “Look over there.”A muscular old man with spiky hair punched a giant serpent monster and put a massive hole in its head.Mia’s eyes swelled out of the sockets. “H-He killed that monster from just the wind pressure emitted from his fist? He’s the real monster here!”“Yeah. He’s pretty strong,” Gabe opined. “I’m not sure if we can beat him even if we fight him together.”“But if we want to enter Syslon, we have to board their ship,” Mia said. “That’s what Ulmer said.”“I know, but can we sneak into h

Gabriel Agnar stopped by a motel.Systa looked a bit dull.“Bring her tea,” Gabriel looked at Alleria who had a bandage wrapped around her head.Alleria frowned but didn’t complain.“To think this little girl is really the Alpha System,” Alleria was still finding it hard to believe. “But, Lord, just so you know, she didn’t beat me. She created a clone of hers and tricked me into fighting the clone.”“You still let her take the woman away, didn’t you?” Gabriel calmly said. “It was your loss. Doesn’t matter how it comes.”“Ugh…” Alleria couldn’t talk after that.She went to the motel owner and asked, “Give us some tea.”“We don’t sell tea here.”Alleria hit the thick wooden bench with her palm and left an imprint there.“I-I’ll get the tea ready in ten minutes,” the motel owner nervously said.“I’ll give you five minutes.”“I-It’s impossible to get it done in five minutes, ma’am.”“Go,” she coldly growled, and he ran to the neighboring convenience store to buy tea bags and milk.Meanwhi

Gabriel grew much angrier after Gabe and Mia disappeared right before his eyes.He put more power into his fist and threw it at Ulmer who was under such pressure he was not able to move.A streak of red lightning flew into the scene and wrapped itself around Gabriel’s fist and stopped his fist in its tracks.“Mm?” Gabriel and Ulmer both looked to their side, where a red-haired woman was standing atop a nearly uprooted tree.She was giving off a ridiculous amount of energy.She looked like she was the embodiment of a million thunderbolts. She looked almost ethereal.“A wolfe clan’s girl?” Gabriel uttered.“The wolfe clan?” Ulmer seemed surprised. This was also his first time directly coming into contact with a person from the wolfe clan since he became the Urban God. “The strongest clan in the world… You came at the right time. Let’s together beat this old man up.”“Hmph,” the red-haired lady descended from the tree almost in a floating manner. “I didn’t come here to take sides. Both o

Both Mia and Gabe were being pressured to hug the ground. Some kind of invisible force as heavy as many mountains was crushing them, making it feel as if their bones would turn to powder under pressure.Gabe gnashed his teeth and tried his best to resist. He was only able to barely move one of his fingers, though.This can’t be real.He thought he had become strong, strong enough to at least stand his ground at those who are at the top of the world.Even though Systa wasn’t with him right now, and even though he wasn’t at his full strength, how could he be toyed like this?How could he not be able to resist the head of the Agnar clan even a little?How can there be such a huge power difference?As he gave it his all to just try and get back, Willow didn’t wait for him.She went for the kill.“I’ll break your wife’s skull right before your eyes, boy!” She axed her foot down at Mia’s head.Mia wanted to move away, but she couldn’t, and she looked more frustrated than afraid that she was

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
CHAPTER 497
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
