Gabriel watched the tension rise, his mind racing. He knew Vincent was in an impossible situation. Unable to bear it any longer, he stepped onto the stage to support Vincent and decided to take on the challenge himself.

He stepped into the center of the conflict, his presence commanding attention. "Mr. Mythir, if you’re so eager for a gamble, perhaps you’d prefer to challenge someone who actually understands the stakes."

Mr. Mythir raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "And who might that be?"

"Me," Gabriel replied, his voice steady and confident. "I’ll take your wager. Let's see if you’re as unbeatable as you think."

The room fell silent, the air thick with anticipation. Mr. Mythir's smile widened, a predatory glint in his eye. "Very well, young man. I see you're brave, but it's foolish of you to challenge me."

Gabriel stood firm, his gaze steady. "I choose Skull the Brave as my opponent."

Mr. Mythir roared with laughter, the sound echoing through the room. "You? Against Skull the Brave? Thi

    Vincent's heavy sigh reverberated in the tense silence of the room. "Gabriel," he began, addressing the mounting doubts and criticism, "despite your lack of experience in gambling, I stand by my decision. You've shown remarkable insight and courage before."Gabriel nodded, his jaw set in determination. "Thank you, Vincent."As Gabriel turned away from the doubters, the city's jewelry merchants began to murmur amongst themselves, their disdain palpable."He's not even from the city," one merchant sneered. "How can he possibly represent us?"Another chimed in, his voice dripping with mockery. "A novice like him against Skull the Brave? It's laughable."Aliyah stepped forward, her voice ringing clear and defiant. "Gabriel may not have grown up here, but his heart and dedication are here. He's more than capable."Mikelson, usually reserved, spoke up firmly. "Gabriel's loyalty and determination are what matter. He's proven himself time and again."But the merchants remained unconvinced, the

    Gabriel, undeterred by Vincent's submission, took a deep breath and stepped forward, his gaze unwavering. "Skull the Brave," he called out, his voice clear and steady, "I challenge you."The room fell silent, the crowd collectively holding their breath as Skull the Brave turned to face Gabriel, his expression a mix of fury and amusement."You? Challenge me?" Skull scoffed, his voice dripping with disdain. "Very well, if you're so eager to embarrass yourself, let's see you put up 10 billion chips."A murmur of disbelief rippled through the crowd. "He can't possibly afford that," one merchant whispered. "What a fool," another scoffed. The room was filled with a cacophony of derision and scorn, all directed at Gabriel.Skull the Brave, sensing the crowd's mood, seized the opportunity to further demean Gabriel. "Look at this outsider, thinking he can stand toe-to-toe with me," he sneered. "You can't even muster a third of what I've demanded. You're nothing but a joke."Gabriel met Skull's

    Gabriel stood his ground, unwavering, ready to prove himself against the formidable Skull the Brave.After hearing Gabriel's audacious wager of 60 billion chips, Skull the Brave and Walter were visibly shocked. Walter, gulping, got closer to Benson, asking skeptically, "Do you think Gabriel could be from the capital's prominent family?"Benson raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about the powerful Wellington family?"Walter nodded. "He's putting up such a stake like he's not an ordinary person."Benson scoffed. "He's just bluffing."Seeing the shock in everyone's eyes and wanting to ruin Gabriel's reputation and chances, Benson stepped forward, his voice loud and derisive. "Gabriel is just giving big talks. He can't back this up!"The crowd, swayed by Benson's assertion, began murmuring in agreement. "He's right. Gabriel's just full of hot air."Gabriel remained calm, his eyes steady on Skull the Brave. "Believe what you want, but my offer stands. Are you in or out?"Skull the Brave,

    Skull the Brave, feeling the weight of the situation, nodded reluctantly. "Alright, Gabriel. You’ve made your point. Let's settle this."After careful consideration, Mr. Mythir, confident in Skull the Brave's abilities, accepted the bet with 10 billion chips and the two district import channels. He smirked at Gabriel, his eyes gleaming with arrogance. "You’ve just signed your own defeat, young man. Skull will sweep away everything you've staked. Prepare to lose."Gabriel's expression remained calm, but a hint of satisfaction flickered in his eyes. "We will see, Mr. Mythir."The stage was set, the stakes higher than ever, and the crowd watched in rapt anticipation as the game was about to begin.Seeing Mr. Mythir accept the challenge, Walter stepped forward, his voice dripping with disdain. "And how exactly do you plan to come up with 10 billion chips, Gabriel? You talk big, but can you actually back it up?"Benson joined in, his tone mocking. "Exactly. You’re just bluffing. You think

    The tension in the room simmered as Gabriel's unexpected wealth became the talk of the event. Walter, who had initially doubted Gabriel, leaned closer to Benson, his voice filled with a mix of surprise and intrigue.“Benson, I... I think I owe Gabriel an apology," he admitted reluctantly.Benson, still in awe of Gabriel's revelation, nodded slowly. "Yeah, he's not what we thought. There's more to him than meets the eye."Walter rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Indeed. He's proven himself to be quite the enigma."Meanwhile, across the room, Aliyah approached Gabriel with a mixture of relief and admiration in her eyes. "Gabriel, you had me worried there for a moment. Where did you get all that money?"Gabriel smiled warmly at her. "Let us just say I have a few surprises up my sleeve."Aliyah chuckled softly. "Well, I'm glad you do. You've certainly turned the tables on everyone."Mikelson, observing from a distance, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride mixed with curiosity. He approache

The room buzzed with whispers and snickers, the crowd skeptical of his unorthodox method.Walter smirked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "What is he doing? Weighing it with his hands? This isn't a game of guesswork."Benson joined in the mocking, shaking his head in disbelief. "Clearly, he doesn't know the first thing about gemstone appraisal. What a joke."The crowd's derisive laughter grew louder, the negativity palpable. Gabriel remained unfazed, his eyes never leaving the stone as he carefully assessed it.Aliyah, watching from the sidelines, felt a pang of worry. She turned to Mikelson, her voice a whisper of concern. "Do you think he knows what he's doing?"Mikelson, though unsure, kept his voice steady. "Gabriel has proven himself before. We need to trust his process."Skull the Brave, standing nearby, couldn't resist adding to the taunts. "Trying to weigh it with your hands, Gab

"Well done, Gabriel. You’ve truly proven yourself."Aliyah, beaming with pride, squeezed her father’s arm. "He did it, Father! He really did it!"Mikelson, nodding slowly, replied, "Indeed he did.

    The day of Camella’s delivery was a difficult one. The air was thick with tension, and Gabriel paced the hospital corridor, his face lined with worry. His heart pounded each time he heard footsteps approach, hoping for news. Dan stood beside him, trying his best to calm him down."She's strong, Gabriel. She'll get through this," Dan said, placing a hand on his shoulder. Zoe nodded in support. "Remember how well she did with Jessie? She can do it again."Gabriel nodded but his eyes were distant, full of concern. "I know, but this is different. The doctors said there were complications. It wasn’t like this with Jessie."Dan sighed. "Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but she’s in good hands. You have to trust that."Time dragged on, each minute feeling like an hour. Then, finally, the door to the delivery room opened, and the doctor emerged. His expression was serious, almost grave, and Gabriel's heart sank."Doctor, is she okay? Is the baby okay?" Gabriel asked, his voice almost bre

    Gabriel's return was like a sudden burst of light piercing through the darkness that had settled in the room where his body was laid before he left, making his way downstairs. His family had been sitting in silence in the living room, weighed down by a sense of gloom, each lost in their thoughts when his voice echoed softly from the doorway."I'm back," Gabriel said, his tone gentle but firm, as though those two words were enough to bring peace to the chaos that had lingered. Everyone's heads snapped up, eyes widening in disbelief. Camella was the first to react, tears spilling down her cheeks as she rushed toward him. "Gabriel! You're...you're here!" she choked out, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "Yes, I'm here," he whispered, holding her close. "I’m back, and everything is going to be alright." Soon, the others joined in, surrounding him, their faces a mix of relief, joy, and astonishment. Marie, his mother, was tearful as she cupped his face, studying him as if she couldn

She had tried reasoning with him, threatening him, yet he stood firm, his gaze unwavering. “Gabriel, this is the last chance you’d get. Forever,” Thelma's voice trembled, but it was clear she meant every word.Gabriel let out a slow breath. “Let it be so. Please, go save your mother. She doesn’t deserve to die at my expense.”Thelma blinked as if she hadn’t expected such calmness. Her eyes, filled with confusion, fixed on him. “The life is ebbing from you,” she said, stepping closer. “And my mother… for her to be restored, she needs the magical ring you’re putting on.” Gabriel glanced down at the ring, a simple yet powerful artifact, now glinting in the dim light. He looked back up at her, his lips curling into a sad smile. Without a word, he slowly slid the ring off his finger and held it out to her. “You can use it to save her.”Thelma was stunned. “Are y

    In the dimly lit hall of Noctura, Seraphina’s laughter echoed against the stone walls, her eyes gleaming with a sadistic delight. Gabriel stirred, groaning as he slowly regained consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the sight before him—Seraphina, standing there with a mocking grin, her shoulders shaking with laughter.“Why are you laughing?” he asked, his voice hoarse, barely masking his confusion. “Do I look amusing to you, lying here wrecked like this?”“Not really,” Seraphina replied, her lips curling. “Actually, I played a little trick earlier, and it seems to be working. I can hear the cries echoing all around. They’re devastated… those weak humans.”Gabriel frowned, trying to process her words. “What do you mean?”She stepped closer, her dark eyes glinting as she leaned down, speaking in a low, deliberate tone. “I gave you a claim mark,” she said, her fingers lightly brushing his arm. “It’s imprinted right there, on your skin.”Gabriel’s eyes widened as he looked

    Gabriel was thrown back into his dark, cold cell, his body bruised and battered. The guards had shown no mercy, following Queen Seraphina's orders to the letter. They took turns flogging him, their harsh laughter echoing off the stone walls. He had barely any strength left, yet he forced himself to stay conscious, unwilling to give them the satisfaction of seeing him break. After the beatings, they chained him up, suspending his arms so he couldn’t lie down. The heavy chains cut into his wrists, but he bit down hard, swallowing his pain. As if that wasn’t enough, cold water was splashed on him, drenching him, making the chill seep deep into his bones. It was all part of the queen’s relentless torment. Meanwhile, Thelma watched from the shadows, her heart aching. Her mother’s cruelty had gone too far. But she had been powerless to stop it, her powers restricted under strict orders from Seraphina. She clenched her fists, unable to bear seeing Gabriel in this condition any longer. Gath

"Why are you here, Thelma?" he asked, his voice rough from exhaustion.Thelma hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Why? Do I need a reason?""Yes," Gabriel replied, his eyes narrowing. "Answer that. I'm sure your queen won't want you to be here.""Yes, my mother would be furious," Thelma admitted, her voice barely a whisper. "But I don't care. I just care about you."Gabriel's expression softened, but he was still cautious. "What?""Yes," she said, her eyes shining. "I care about you and... I want you to marry me."Gabriel's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face. "Marry you?"Thelma took a step closer, her gaze unflinching. "Yes. Marry me. I can help you." He stared at her silently, trying to read her intentions, but she continued, her voice pleading. "I promise you, Gabriel, if you marry me, I can vouch t

"I wish it wasn't true, but... yes. That’s how it works. It’s a cruel trade," she said softly, her own voice betraying her sadness.Camella felt the room spin for a moment, her heart pounding. She looked at Gabriel, her lips quivering as she whispered, “No... there has to be another way. There has to be.”Zoe moved closer to Tamara, her mind reeling from the revelation. “Is there really no other way?” she asked, almost pleading."I've searched, Zoe," Tamara said, shaking her head.

    Gabriel stood there, his breath heavy, the dark silhouette of the creature looming over him. It was unlike anything he had ever seen—a twisted mix of shadows and fangs, with eyes that seemed to glint even in the darkness. His heart pounded as he gripped the hilt of an available sword tighter, the sweat from his palms making it slick. He knew he had to act fast, but the creature’s movements were unpredictable, darting around him, taunting him.“Come on,” he muttered to himself, trying to steady his breathing. “Just one opening… that’s all I need.”The creature lunged, and he sidestepped, narrowly avoiding its sharp claws. The air was thick, almost suffocating, and his muscles ached from the strain of dodging and countering. He swung his sword, managing to nick the creature’s side, but it only hissed, unfazed, and retreated into the shadows. The brief moment of reprieve was shattered when he heard the snorting and stomping behind him. Turning, he saw the massive bull charging toward him

For every machine that attacked, he countered with swift, brutal precision, his eyes glowing brighter with every strike.As he stood amidst the shattered remains of the machines, his chest heaving, he heard Seraphina’s voice echo through the realm. “Impressive, Gabriel. But this is only the beginning. You will break, and you will serve me… or you will die.”Gabriel looked around, wiping the sweat from his brow, his breath ragged but steady. “I’ll never be yours,” he shouted defiantly, his voice echoing through the dark, empty expanse of Noctura. “I will find a way out of this place, and I will destroy everything you throw at me.”Seraphina's laughter echoed, dark and mocking. “We shall see, Gabriel. We shall see.”As the darkness around him deepened, Gabriel steeled himself, knowing that this was only the b
