CHAPTER 341
Russell contacted his grandfather on the mobile and briefly told him what happened. “Is it possible for me to get my hands on the Hacking system for a little while?”“You think that’s a pendrive for it to be given and taken whenever you want?” His grandfather, Regan, hissed at him. “I’m acquainted with the Arris family, but I have no idea how they’re going to react if I mention the alpha system. They might help protect your friend, but in the end, he’ll need to be handing over that system to them. Will he do that?”“I don’t think so.”“Then there isn’t much I can do,” Regan was blunt. “The Hacking system is with the Wolfe clan. They will not give it even if you ask for it since you already owned it once.”“Then what am I supposed to do?” Russell frustratingly said. “Just sit and watch?”“I can tell you’re feeling guilty for how things turned out, but sometimes, the best we can do is do nothing, Russell,” he said. “Anyway, how about you contact your dad? If it’s him, he might be able t

CHAPTER 342
A few days later.Like the calm before the storm, the past few days have been extremely silent and strangely peaceful.Gabe started building the new house, where his old house was supposed to be. At the same time, he was also renovating the Woods park. For both of these things, he was using money he borrowed 2 million dollars from UTS at a whopping 100% interest per month.Nicole didn’t personally come to see how the house was being constructed, but Gabe video-chatted with her and asked for her inputs and preferences. She mostly agreed with everything he said, but she vehemently refused to have a toilet built inside her bedroom, saying that she would feel disgusted if the smell from the bathroom were to come to her bed.Because of her, Gabe had to include separate bathrooms outside for her in the blueprint.Gabe spent most of the time overseeing the construction workers, and he also gave them a hand. Most of the construction workers were all strong and sturdy people, as they were a gr

CHAPTER 343
Gabe was fighting in the UTS ring. His opponent was Demon Son, someone ranked 66,666 in the UTS rankings. He had been at that rank for almost three years without moving, but everybody knew that he was much stronger than his rank suggested. This was the first time Gabe had to fight against someone in the ring, who was making wind blow with his fists. His punches whispered to him like demons would in a human's ears. He was fast, strong, sturdy, arrogant, and experienced. Gabe did not have it easy. He had to exert some energy in order to block this man’s attacks. Most of the audience bet on Demon Son, because he was on a ten match winning streak. He was an eight-foot-tall man who was capable of moving nimbly like a basketball professional could. Everything about him was abnormal. The audience joked among themselves, saying that he could chomp on Gabe’s face if he wanted. The fact that Gabe defended himself most of the time didn’t help the audience change their mind, either. “He’s onl

CHAPTER 344
Bilan came to meet David who was staying at a penthouse now.As Bilan expected, David did not look happy as he didn’t allow him to go anywhere near Gabe because they didn’t want him to make the Aeson family look any more bad in the alpha system’s eyes.After sitting at the dining table, David said, “Why don’t we just put a false case on him and send him to prison? We can have the police forcibly take the copper ring from him.”“There’s no need to do all those things,” Bilan said, picking up fried prawns with the fork. “Gabriel Brando. We didn’t do a thorough check on him yet. But his parents died when he was young, and he's been living with his aunt ever since. He was in poverty for decades and even got dumped by his girlfriend during the wedding. He was suffering very much, until he found the system, or to better put it, the system found him.”“Why would the mighty alpha system choose such a loser?” David kept shaking his head. “It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t match the stories I’v

CHAPTER 345
Gabe was sleeping on the couch, while using Ulf as a lookout, in case someone were to attack him. Ulf was sitting outside, playing with the ants, which walked along the lines he drew on the ground. When they finished the tasks, he dropped sugar on the ground to reward them. After eating, they lifted their front legs and thanked him. He dropped more sugar, and they took the sugar into their hideout underground. Gabe’s mobile rang. It was Russell calling, so he quickly answered. “Hey, is everything alright?” “Yeah…” Russell said. “Actually, not quite.” Gabe’s heart started beating faster. “Why? What happened?” “Nothing serious, so calm down first,” Russell said. “The thing is, we always do a routine health check for our chefs every month, and we did it to your mom as well.” “D-Did she get bad test results?” Gabe quickly asked. “What was wrong with her?” “It’s the opposite, actually. Her health is quite perfect. From the count of white blood cells to her neural activity, everythin

The next morning.Gabe woke up and came outside the house. Ulf was chatting with the squirrels, which quickly scurried away and climbed the trees.“Why did they run away? I didn’t do anything,” Gabe said.{You actually stepped on two ants the moment you stepped foot outside the house.} Ulf said.“What?” Gabe lifted his foot to see if there were dead ants stuck to the sole of his sandals, but there weren’t any.{You, or humans in general, step on and kill many ants every day.} Ulf added. {When you move around in your house, walk outside casually, every time you do something, some ants die.}“Surely… that’s not the reason the squirrels ran away, right?” Gabe couldn’t help but ask.[I’m sure that’s part of the reason. The squirrels instinctively know that humans are trouble, so they avoid them. You can’t blame them for that.} Ulf said and then made noises with his mouth. The two squirrels heard his sounds and then came down the tree, but they were rather hesitant to come closer as Gabe w

CHAPTER 347
Jessica was showing her marriage albums to Mia, which quite shocked her because it was so grand. There were more than fifty albums in the room, and even more video tapes lying around. It was like watching the wedding of a prince and a princess.“Damn, you guys went all out with this,” Mia said, a bit of envy flowing through her voice. “I can’t even dream of having this type of wedding.”“You already had yours, didn’t you?”“U-Uh, yeah…”“But you haven’t changed your maiden name yet, have you?” Jessica asked.“Um, well… do we really have to change our maiden name?” Mia wondered. “I want to keep the family name that reminds me of my parents.”“You can keep it as your middle name if you want,” Jessica suggested. “It’ll become Mia Reyes Brando then.”“That sounds horrible, though,” Mia opened.“Haha, it does, but taking in your husband’s family name is the respect you give for your husband,” Jessica said, “who is going to become your future parent, best friend, partner for life, and mor

CHAPTER 348
Gabe and Russell met outside his grandfather’s home, which was a medium-sized villa with an extensive garden, swimming pool, tennis court, and even a mini golf-course inside the perimeter walls.As they entered through the main gate, Gabe couldn’t help but ask, “How big is this place? I can’t even see the walls on the other side.”“1200 acres,” Russell said.Gabe’s eyebrows raised against his will. “Damn. 1200? All this for one old man?” he said and then quickly looked at Russell. “Uh, I didn’t mean any offense. I just said what I thought.”“I agree with you. This is a large enough area for three to four universities to fit in,” Russell said, “but my grandfather likes to live alone in his last years. Maybe, after he passes away, we might build a private university here.”“Eh? You’re not going to live in this place?” Gabe was quite surprised.“It’s far from the city, so it's not suitable for us,” Russell said. “We can make this a vacation home, but we already have many other vacation h

CHAPTER 349
“Huh?” Gabe couldn’t believe that Systa would respond like this. He left Systa with Nicole to keep her safe. He told Nicole that Systa was one of his friends’ daughters, but that turned out to be a bad idea as Nicole started feeding her a lot of dishes she personally cooked.Because Systa kept eating without a problem, Nicole kept cooking, thinking that this little girl just has a big appetite and a high metabolism.“If you don’t help me, how am I supposed to know?” Gabe yelled back. “All I need is your opinion.”[Like I said, I’m too busy, Uncle.] Systa replied with a mental message.Gabe got angry, but he could only force himself to smile.“What are you here for, Gabriel?” Regan asked. “Do you want to start a business? Did you come here to seek my advice? Some investment, too, maybe?”“Nothing like that, sir,” Gabe calmly stated. “I came here to help you.”Regan paused for a second and then laughed. “Help me? I don’t need any help, though, unless you can make it easier for me to poo

CHAPTER 350
Despite Russell calling for him, Gabe didn’t stop or even slow down. After Gabe walked out through the front door, Russell caught up with him and stood in front of him. “Just listen to me once,” Russell said. “And then if you still decide to leave, I won’t stop you.” “No matter what you’ll say, I won’t be convinced, Russell,” Gabe blurted. “It’s one thing to commit mistakes, but it’s a whole another thing to not have the heart to even accept the mistakes they committed. Just that attitude your grandfather has shown tells me what kind of person he was, is, and will be… till he enters his grave.” Russell frowned. “Aren’t you judging him too easily?” “Isn’t one grain of rice enough to tell if the whole bowl is cooked or not?” Gabe retorted. Russell sucked in a breath and audibly exhaled through the mouth. “It looks like anything I say might feel like excuses to you, so how about this?” He started removing his suit. “What are you…” Gabe looked confused. Russell tossed the suit on t
