CHAPTER 281
Once the blood transfer was done, Systa removed the dome because Gabe didn’t want the neighbors to see it. Luckily, the thunderbolt had caused the power to fluctuate in all the houses, and even their inverters were affected by it.As a result, nobody in that region had power in their houses that night. Naturally, many people came out onto their rooftops or the streets and chattered about the disgustingly loud sound they all heard. Most people kept exaggerating the story to make themselves get noticed by others.At Mia’s house.Everyone except Mia came out and sat in the verandah outside. Eventually, Mia came out to the balcony upon Stemmer’s request, and was then shocked to see Gabe’s house completely destroyed.She quickly came down to check for the people, and she couldn’t find anyone at first sight, which made her worry if both Gabe and Nicole got stuck under the rubble, but Stemmer told her that both of them weren’t under the rubble.Despite Stemmer’s words, Mia didn’t seem to hav

CHAPTER 282
All the dreams Mia had of Gabe only minutes ago now felt like they were going down the drain very fast, but then she saw that Nicole was lying on the bed right next to Gabe and the girl with attractive ribbons for earrings.Gabe quickly came over to meet Mia. “It’s dangerous outside, Mia. You should go home.”“Is your… Mom okay?” she asked.“She suffered some shock, but she should be fine,” Gabe said.“Are you sure you don’t want to take her to a doctor?” Mia questioned him in a bit of a hard voice. “It’s better to be safe than to feel bad afterward.”“I get what you’re saying, but there’s really no need to take her to a doctor,” Gabe assured. “Besides, her condition was not something a typical doctor could help with. I somehow took care of it, so she’s going to wake up soon.”Stemmer told Mia to ask Gabe something, and she did. “A lightning strike can’t destroy an entire building, Gabe. I can’t help but believe that it’s done on purpose. Is there anything you’re not telling me?”Gabe

After Mia said the words ‘I’ll find you a better job, and then pack your bags and leave,’ she was expecting to see the reactions of both of them, both Leona as well as Gabe. Leona looked at Gabe as if asking for his permission, which was a red flag. Mia glanced over her shoulder and looked at Gabe, who quickly said, “If you want her to leave, then we’ll send her away.” Leona frowned, not liking that. “Didn’t you promise to show me a wonderful world if I stuck with you?” Gabe’s jaw dropped. “When did I say that? Stop lying in front of my wife!” Leona was startled. “She’s your wife?” She took another look at Mia and recognized from the information she had previously read about Gabe. “I-I’m sorry. I was talking about professional responsibility, so don’t get things the wrong way.” “Professional responsibility?” Mia’s eyes turned sharp enough to cut people’s souls with them. “What the hell does that even mean? Are you taking me for a fool? Both of you! Something’s going on between yo

CHAPTER 284
William was observing the grocery store from a distance, and he didn’t not like the fact that Gabe and his aunt both survived the lightning strike. “Talk about having excess luck. How did they survive that disaster? But…” At the same time, he found himself drooling after seeing Leona. “Who’s this chick? That round face and that short stature… She’s just my type.”“Mm?” Just then, Leona felt some crawling on her skin, and she ended up looking straight at William. “Is he an enemy?” she walked straight toward him.William’s face glowed, thinking that she was interested in him. “Hello, beautiful,” he introduced himself. “May I know how old you are?”“Old enough to crush your jewels, uncle,” Leona said, making William laugh.“Hoho, you’re quite the bold one, aren’t you?” William chortled. “If you want to put my jewels in your mouth that badly, you just have to come with me. I’ll show you heaven.”Leona squinted her eyes. (Is he trying to separate me? What’s his goal? Is it just to have sex

CHAPTER 285
Sansa came to the neighboring house, where Bertha and Carrie were eating fried peanuts. Draco was asking for more, but they didn’t give him any because he had already eaten his quota. When he sneakily tried to take some from Bertha’s plate, she twisted his ear, making him cry.“Hmph, this is what you get when you try to be too cheeky with your grandmother,” Bertha blurted and then put a single peanut in his hand.“I don’t want it,” Draco threw it away.Bertha gritted her teeth and tried to catch him, but Draco ran away into the house. “This brat… all he’s good at is running away. I wonder whose genes he got,” she glanced in Freddy’s direction.Freddy acted like he wasn’t even there. He was just waving the hand-fan and seemed to be in his own world until a woman in a white cloak opened the gate and stepped into the premises of their house.“Who are you?” Freddy asked.Sansa pulled her hood down, and Freddy’s expression changed as Sansa’s face got revealed in the lamp light. She was ext

CHAPTER 286
One way people often commit mistakes is by holding onto their anger. As resentment takes up residence in the heart, it twists the thinking and emotions and robs people of peace, and lets bitterness spill into their relationships.Neither Gabe nor Mia was foreign to this, though they were the exact opposite in terms of reacting to their anger. Gabe would speak hurtful words or do hurtful things in response, whereas Mia would pull herself away in self-protection.At this very moment, when Gabe said with certainty that he wasn’t going to run away, Mia was faced with a choice. Should she pull herself away from him to avoid any future hurts? Or should she stick with him? What would be the best way to respond?“Gabe… if there’s anything I know for certain, it’s that clinging to negativity is going to destroy you from the inside,” Mia said. “Getting angry over your enemies is one thing, but the longer you harbor anger, the more it’ll damage your personal well-being and connections with other

“What are you doing here?” Sansa asked. “Looking to buy something?”“Why would I buy anything from this filthy store?” David snorted. “I do not like the smell of this place. If I stay here longer, I might end up destroying it.”“Huh?” Mia was shocked to hear that. “What do you mean destroy?”“It means what you think,” Sansa uttered. “Why do you look so surprised, though? If you are the owner of this shop, you shouldn’t feel guilty if we destroy it because you destroy people’s lives with this food. They don’t say money is the root of all evil for no reason. When someone tries to do good, society soon turns that into business and absolutely corrupts it. Stores were created to help people and make things easier for them to buy, but you all suck people’s money like vampires with no shame whatsoever just so you can earn more money than your customers while they work their asses off and you just sit your ass in the store all day and night, waiting for your next victim, I mean, your customer

CHAPTER 288
Soon after Sansa and David left, Leona entered the store.Gabe saw the injury to her hand and asked what happened.“Ah, don’t worry about it,” Leona said and went into the storage room, where there was a first-aid kit. “Ugh, this hurts like hell. I might not be able to use this hand for a week.”“Who the hell are those two people, Gabe?” Mia asked him. “Do you have any idea?”“That girl… she has the Smart system with her,” Gabe said.MIa’s eyes widened. “The one that Bart used to have?” she covered her mouth in shock. “W-Why does she have that?”“I think I have an idea how it got into her hands,” Gabe said. “The system somehow got into Zack’s hands, and these people must have forcibly taken it from him.”“Forcibly, you say…” a chill crawled up Mia’s spine. “Are you telling me these people are hunters of systems?”“That’s quite possible,” Gabe said. “When your system is operating again, you can ask it some questions. They should know more than we do.”“”M-Mm,” Mia didn’t like where thi

CHAPTER 289
Nicole woke up the next morning, and her heartbeat spiked suddenly when she found herself unable to get out of bed right away. It immediately reminded her of her sick times when she would struggle to just get off the bed. But then, she soon realized that it was more of a tiredness in the body than sickness. And she was able to sit up. However, Nicole did not understand why she was at the local store, and Leona quickly came over and told her what happened. “Boss and his wife went out on important work, and they told me to take care of you,” Leona said. “By the way, did you know that your house has been destroyed?” Nicole didn’t understand that statement for a second. “My house?” “Yes, a lightning struck, and your house collapsed,” Leona described it by making explosive noises with her mouth. “Boss managed to bring you out in time, or you might not have made it.” “By Boss, you mean… my son Gabe, right?” Nicole asked just for clarification. “Yes. He brought you here and then got yo

CHAPTER 290
Nick didn’t get out of his seat, but he looked surprised and puzzled to say the least. His eyes gained coldness as he watched Gabe sit across the table. Mia also sat next to him.“You might be wondering why I came here, but…” Gabe spoke, “why don’t you take a look at this first?” He pushed a pendrive forward on the desk.“A thumbdrive?” Nick looked at his laptop screen. Big Boss nodded. Nick thought that Gabe didn’t know that he was talking to Big Boss right now. He plugged the pendrive in and viewed its contents on a shared window so that Big Boss could also see the information simultaneously.As Nick opened one file after another, beads of sweat fought for places on his forehead.Big Boss’ eyes bulged out through his mask as he saw the videos of all the nasty things the people in the vampire organization had done. Whether it be the rituals of killing the kidnapped people, or the footage of the human-killing games the vampires played, all these videos would create havoc around the wo
