Every participant was escorted by beautiful maids. Gabe was given a mask and was told that he could wear it if he wanted.Naturally, Gabe ended up putting the mask on that covered his eyes and nose. The gorgeous maid locked arms with her and took him to the auction site, a magnificently huge hall like one that reminded him of king’s palace halls from history lessons. The patterns on the stone ceilings and walls were too intricate for a human to have designed them.Straight away, Gabe asked Systa a question. “Is it possible for humans to build structures with this level of magnitude and perfection?”[Well, it seems that this hall was built very long ago, probably a few hundred years ago.] Systa opined. [From what I can see, whoever built it used the sound and vibration technology to manipulate the stone in order to create these designs.]“Manipulating the stone with sound?” Gabe didn’t believe it. “That sounds crazy. You’re not trying to feed me with bullshit, are you?”[You will know

Nobody upped the bidding amount after Rica said 200 million dollars. “The boots of good fortune go to Ms. Rica Agnar,” the auctioneer said. [She’s from the Agnar family?] Systa was surprised. [No wonder nobody dared to bid against her.] “Why? Is the Agnar family that big?” Gabe asked. [Big? That word wouldn’t cut it.] Systa’s voice changed. Gabe could feel some level of tension in her tone now. [Agnar family is one of the three supreme families in the world. I don’t think it’s a good idea to stick around her, Gabe.] “Why? Do you fear the supreme families?” Gabe teased her. [Well, in a sense, yes, because one of their ancestors used to own me just like you do now. And the supreme families are known for hunting people who have the ‘systems’ with them.] Gabe’s heart jumped into his heart. “W-What? Why didn’t you say that sooner?” [Because I didn’t know that woman was part of the Agnar family.] Systa growled. [Out of the three supreme families, Agnar family is specialized in battle

Gabe didn’t get what he wanted. His provocation didn’t work. He couldn’t get another match because nobody accepted his challenge.Every Skinner there had matches arranged, so they didn’t want to go out of their way to accept Gabe’s challenge.In the end, Gabe walked out of the ring. Rica had other matches to play as a referee, but she quickly came over to Gabe who was in the room behind the stage and said, “I think you should watch the other matches. Maybe you’ll learn a thing or two from them.”“Are you indirectly suggesting that I should watch you?” Gabe asked frankly.Rica smirked. “What makes you think that way?”“Your uniform is basically a bikini, and it makes your ass hang out,” Gabe remarked boldly. “If you had a boyfriend, I don’t think you’d be wearing these types of clothes. So, I’m guessing you’re looking for a boyfriend?”“What about? Don’t you like women with shorts and high heels?” she asked, bringing her face a bit too close for comfort.“The blonde I fell for and date

“Keke, how long are you going to keep dancing with your clothes on?”“Yeah, take them down for us so we can see the goods.”As the four guys were busy staring at the laptop, they heard the waters move in the back, but they didn’t care.Moments later, the soft noises were replaced by rougher noises which were then replaced by the angry snorts of crocodiles that sent shivers up and down their spines.They quickly turned on the flashlights, only to see crocodiles rushing out of the pond. Like they had seen ghosts, they threw the flashlights away and ran for their lives, even forgetting to pick up the laptop.When the lady on the screen wondered what was going on and came closer, she saw a crocodile up close to the camera and screamed in horror.Systa got a good laugh out of all this while Gabe was sitting on top of a tree. The crocodiles looked for him everywhere, but in the end, they couldn’t find him and went back into the pond after destroying the laptop with a tail swing.“I’ve done

Gabe had no idea how much time had passed, but he couldn’t open his eyes. He began to hear voices around him.Vyse and Systa were talking about many things, mostly about other systems. In the end, their conversation shifted to talking about Gabe.[So, do you want to serve him or not?] Systa asked Vyse.{Even an animal knows when to back away in a fight.] Vyse said. {But this guy doesn’t. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.}[You should know that there are times when humans don’t back away from a fight even after knowing that they’ll lose.] Systa explained. {Even animals do that sometimes.]{Maybe, but I don’t like to follow this guy. I think I can do better when I’m alone.}[So you feel like you won’t be used well when you’re with me, huh…] Systa sighed. [Fine. I’ll let you go if you help him train.]{No problem, though I think he might be afraid of me.}[Haha, you’re underestimating him too much.] Systa angrily laughed. [He may not have anywhere near as much battle expe
