CHAPTER 81
The mobile in Gabe’s hand dropped.Mia’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly picked up the mobile, but Gabe still looked frozen. He couldn’t believe that Mia had actually asked him to marry her. The woman who always looked beautiful in his eyes even without makeup just asked him if he would marry her. He thought this was a dream. It was too surreal for him, after all.“Gabe,” Mia hesitantly said, “will you be husband for a while?”Gabe’s expression slightly changed. “F-For a while? W-What do you mean?” He couldn’t get his head around that phrase. Was the happiness swelling in his just a short-living thing like the froth of boiling milk?“C-Can we talk privately in the park?” she asked.“N-No, let’s talk here,” he shut the main door.Mia right now didn’t mind what neighbors would think. She sat down on the second-hand chair. He sat next to her in another chair.“Gabe, you worked for a day in my house, so you somewhat know how my family members behave,” Mia said, locking her hands togethe

CHAPTER 82
[You’re making a big mistake, Gabe.] Systa didn’t stop talking ever since Gabe left the house. He was on his way to the farthest UTS local base from his house because it was the headquarters of the city, and the governor wouldn’t visit any other bases. [She wants to use you to solve her problems. Why would you want to marry her for that? I’m betting that she won’t let you touch her or any other woman. When that happens, I’m gonna lose it.]“You talk like you’ve experienced this before,” Gabe muttered while driving in his car.[I have, which is why I know exactly what’s going to happen.]“What if I have sex with Mia then?” Gabe asked.[Hmph, you think you can do that?]“Give me one week, no, one month. I’ll definitely make her fall for my charm!” Gabe said. He was hoping a lot more would happen, but he didn’t want to talk about everything with the system.[If you succeed, then I’ll give you a big reward.]“Thank you.”[But if you fail, you will be punished.]“What punishment?”[You wil

CHAPTER 83
Gabe hesitantly walked forward. Claire didn’t seem to be in a good mood, after all.(Is she really my opponent?) Gabe didn’t feel good because he didn’t fight a woman before. How was he supposed to fight a beautiful girl like her? This felt like too difficult of a task for him. “Uh, Ms. Claire? What are you doing here?”Claire didn’t want to directly admit that she was waiting for him. “Just wasting my time, that’s all.” She stood straight now. “I thought you weren’t going to come.”“Huh?” Gabe looked a bit confused. “Why?”“Well, your opponent this time is someone really famous,” Claire said. “It’s obvious that UTS doesn’t want you to win 50 matches in a row.”“W-Who’s my opponent? Is he ranked above 1 million?”“1 million?” Claire shook her head. “No, he’s ranked above 10,000,” Claire’s response sent a chill down his spine.“T-Ten thousand?” Gabe’s mouth opened wide. “H-How could they put me against someone ranked so high? How is this fair?”“Well, I think they’ve taken everything y

CHAPTER 84
The governor winked at Rica before leaving the cage, and she did not like it. She came to Gabe and said, “You must win and erase that ugly smile from the governor’s face!”“I won’t just erase the smile but everything that’s positive in his expression,” Gabe frankly stated his mind.“Good,” Rica looked at the tab in her hand. The bettors were going crazy. “Whoa… this is beyond anything I’ve ever expected.”“What? Let me see,” Gabe tried to take a peek, but she turned the tablet’s screen off. “Hmph,” he acted like he didn’t care and then walked to the corner and sat down in the small chair.Leher also sat in the opposite corner.Time flew by pretty quickly, and Rica signaled them to get up as the time had come.“Killing is not allowed,” Rica explained the rules. “You can do everything else. You will win if your opponent admits defeat, or you’re the last one standing. Are the rules clear?”“Yeah, but who decides these rules?” Gabe asked.Rica squinted her eyes, “You don’t need to know th

CHAPTER 85
A surge of adrenaline like never before flooded through Gabe’s body along with the messages that kept popping one after another.If there was anything that Systa hated absolutely, it would be losing pathetically. So, she supported Gabe with immediate urgency.Though losing to someone like Leher wouldn’t be a humiliating thing at all, neither Systa nor Gabe wanted that.“Oh, look! He’s standing up.”“It would have been so bad had he lost just like that. I guess he didn’t win 49 matches in a row by fluke.”“But at this rate, he’s going to get himself killed.”Most of the audience wanted to see a good fight, whereas a few were just worried for Gabe as they believed that he had no chance of winning.Rica was of the same opinion. She hoped that Gabe wouldn’t get up, but Gabe betrayed her expectations. He bore the great pain gripping his whole body and not only got back to his feet but attacked Leher with much greater speed and accuracy than before.The change in Gabe was too much to not no

CHAPTER 86
Gabe started thinking about giving up on the match, but then he also immediately realized that he couldn’t afford to lose the fight and disappoint Systa, or she might just leave him.The betting ratios were heavily against Gabe at this point. It went up to 1:120.Out of habit, Gabe could hear the betting ratios in the speaker, and it didn’t help raise his motivation, either. 1:120 was something he hadn’t seen before. It just showed how unlikely everyone saw Gabe winning this match.[Healing the throat is complete.][Control your emotions and calm yourself down, Gabe, or you’re going to lose for sure.] Systa warned.“I’m so much stronger and faster than I ever was,” Gabe’s spat to the side. “I refuse to believe that I can’t match an old man’s reflexes.” He lunged at the opponent and threw his fist.Leher was waiting for that. He easily dodged the punch, but then Gabe was able to change his attack midway from a cross punch to a hook punch. Leher moved back this time; however, Gabe’s fis

CHAPTER 87
“Pfft,” nothing stayed in people’s mouths whether it be liquids or solid food. Almost everyone spilled things onto one another.It was followed by a shocked silence.Only moments ago, people were saying Gabe couldn’t touch, thereby wouldn’t hit, and so will not beat Leher in this fight no matter what.However, the first of their claims was proved wrong in an emphatic manner because Gabe’s kick was so solid and loud, everybody, even the sleeping dogs, heard it.Moreover, Leher grunted audibly, suggesting that he felt the kick. Still, he didn’t get blown away because he locked his left arm around Gabe’s ankle and used it to stop his own momentum before spinning on his feet and using the momentum to try and throw Gabe into the cage where barbed wires were present.As Leher spun while still grabbing onto Gabe’s ankle, Gabe kicked with his second foot even from an awkward position. Leher guarded his face with the other hand, but the impact from the side was so strong, it shook Leher’s brai

CHAPTER 88
There was no better example for ‘between a rock and a hard place’ than what was currently happening on the stage, as Gabe was on complete offense, not letting Leher move in any direction.Leher’s back was hitting the barbed wire. He wasn’t even wearing a shirt, so everybody could see how he was bleeding.Everytime Gabe unleashed a powerful punch, Leher was pushed back into the cage,and the metal thorns skewered through his flesh and shocked his spine to an extent. Not only was he losing blood, but he also had to succumb to the physical and mental trauma Systa put him through. It was like living in a real nightmare. Every attack felt devastating because of his current position.People who called Gabe ‘All Bark No Bite’ no longer called him that. Some began to root for Gabe, but most people still supported Leher.“Rookie Crusher all the way!”“C’mon RC! Walk him down!”“Win against that chick with your signature kick!”While the audience still wanted and believed that Leher would win, C

CHAPTER 89
The name Rookie Crusher prevailed again.Gabe’s 49 match win streak was broken, and Leher's name was chanted by almost everyone present around the stage.Rica announced the victory in an emphatic fashion by dancing nicely and adding to the joy of the audience.Leher, however, didn't look too happy because it took him a lot more than he thought to win the match. His jaw was broken, and so he wasn’t in a position to freely speak, either.In comparison, Gabe was up on his feet. After wiping his face with his shirt, he looked clean like he could go for another match. His breathing became normal, too. Having said that, he silently walked down from the stage and left the place.Some people clapped for him for showing them a good fight.On his way home, Gabe began to scold Systa. “I thought you could help me win. Look what you did now. I couldn’t win 50 times in a row!”[Winning and losing is part of life.]“Bullshit,” Gabe hissed as he drove his lambo.[It was a close match. Unfortunately,

CHAPTER 90
It was a loud slap, and so everybody in the store heard it.“Shane, you didn’t have to hit him,” Roxy voiced her mind. “I’m sorry, Mister.” She even apologized to the guard.“Roxy, why are you apologizing to this trash?” Shane blurted before snatching the two pairs of clothes in the guard’s hand. “I feel like I should wash these clothes five times before I can wear them because ‘he’ touched them.”His words made the guard lower his head in shame.The manager hurriedly entered the scene and scolded the guard for leaving his position and then told him to leave. After the guard left in dejection, the manager smiled at Shane, “Welcome to our store, Mr. Shane. How is your daddy doing?”“He’s doing great as always,” Shane said, throwing the clothes in the manager’s face. “Pack them.” Saying that, he began to explore the store with Roxy.Roxy was the second ranker back in school. Shane always had a crush on her, so coming to shop with her was a surreal moment for him. He tried to please her
