VKBoyHi, everyone. I changed the novel’s title from Beta’s Alpha System to ‘System Within: Million Dollars From Today’ as per my editor’s advice, so please forgive me for the inconvenience. The story didn’t change at all, so no need to worry on that front. Last but not least, thanks to the reader Lisa for her support. Much appreciated. Thank you one and all. Cheers.

CHAPTER 543
Gabe and the old lady stepped out of the house once more.The apes were rounding them up again, but she tossed a single banana into the distance. The apes viciously fought among themselves to win that banana.“Now is the time,” the old lady hurried along the branch and reached a hidden door inside a vertical branch.They both entered and then quickly closed the door.It was utterly dark inside, but the old lady snapped her fingers and created a flame at the tip of her fingers.Gabe also used lightning to make his hair glow. He noticed a ladder that was leading upwards, but it didn’t go downward.“You’re going to attract too much with that,” she commented.“Oh, okay,” he dimmed down the lightning so that it radiated softly.“That’s better. You have good control over lightning. You should be able to learn the Stellar Arts. I’m expecting great things from you.”“I’m going to leave once we find your granddaughter,” Gabe told her, “Mrs. Reveria.”“As you wish.” She put her hands behind her
CHAPTER 542
A few minutes later.Gabe opened his eyes and found himself in the wooden room.Seeing that ceiling, he was immediately disappointed with himself for losing against the apes.He looked to his right.The senile lady was sitting next to the bed, drinking what looked like sparkling, glowing water.The shocking thing was that she was drinking from a wooden glass, but he was able to see the light coming through the glass.It wasn’t harsh on the eye but was soothing.“What’s that scarlet drink?” he asked. “Is it the monkey’s blood?”“Why would I drink blood?” she glanced at him rather coldly. “Where are you from, boy? You don’t seem like you’re from this city. Did you come from the outside world?”Gabe sat up. “How did you realize that?”“It’s just a guess,” she poured the same scarlet liquid in another glass and gave it to him.“What’s this for?” he couldn’t help but ask.“If you want to be healed faster, then you better drink it,” she replied.Nodding, Gabe drank it. It tasted similar to
CHAPTER 541
Gabe woke up and found himself in what looked like a wooden chamber. It was a small room, not even 100 sq ft in area.There were no ceiling fans or lightbulbs, but there were a few glowing crystals embedded in the walls.Gabe tried to get up, but his midsection was so hurting it did not allow him to even sit up on the bed.Just then, a senile lady entered the room.“Oya, oya, you opened your eyes at last,” she put her dried leaf hat on the shelf and came to the bed.She opened Gabe’s eyelids further and checked his eyes.“The scales have mostly disappeared. I wasn’t expecting much, but your body absorbed all of the medicine I gave you. This is a rare phenomenon, I must say.”“Where am I?” Gabe asked, his voice filled with pain. Just breathing was hurting him.“In Longtooth town,” she replied.“How long was I out?”“You weren’t really out,” she said. “Your eyelids and fingers kept moving all this while, but you’ve been on the bed for four days and nights.”Gabe’s eyes grew into saucers
CHAPTER 540
Back in Salem city.Kiera, Gabe’s ex-fiance, came to meet her school friend Natasha just to get an update on when the reunion of their schoolmates would be.Natasha was living in a penthouse which she had bought for 4 million dollars. It offered a beautiful view because of the parks and busy streets nearby.Even though Kiera had come, she was made to wait on the couch for over thirty minutes.Natasha eventually came to meet her, but Natasha was still scrolling through things on her mobile.“Hey…” Kiera was trying to control her anger. “Are you giving me a cold shoulder now? I thought we agreed on helping each other during the get-together party?”Natasha turned the mobile and showed it to her.“Mm?” Kiera took a look at it. “Why are you showing me Russell Lynn’s social media profile?”“Did you see it? He’s put a picture where both he and his wife are present,” Natasha’s voice was icier than the winter wind because the faces of the couple in the photo were glowing. “Don’t you think tha
CHAPTER 539
The bluish white lightning pillar covered the space between the earth and the heaven in a flash, creating the sound of a thunder that would put shame to a ten thousand times ten thousand gunshots.The echo of the thunder in the Elder mountains made it all the more domineering.The giants all momentarily froze as they saw the lightning that made them look small.Even the chief of giants was looking at that glowing column of a thunderbolt.Maccoy used that opportunity to sneak away from their midst.The chief, while still in a seated position, almost instantly traveled the distance and arrived at the lightning pillar.Grabbit it with his barehand, he snapped it in half.His daughter fell into his lap.Her hair was burnt to a crisp, and her whole body was covered in burns. Her cracked lips were trembling.She seemed like she might die any second.“He’s here already?” Gabe pulled the lightning sword out of the ground, increased its size by a hundred times and whipped it at the chief of th
CHAPTER 538
The lightning surge burned the tree Gabe, Maccoy and Wendy were tied to.Wendy and Maccoy also got electrocuted in the process. The hair strands that held them to the tree also snapped.Wendy collapsed head first to the sandy soil as she had no strength left in her body.Maccoy, however, roared in delight as he had been freed.Though some of the giants were also awake, Maccoy did not fear them.When they tried to capture him, he was able to dodge their swift moves with even swifter movements.“I’ve recovered enough now, so you’ll need to be much faster if you want to catch me,” Maccoy cockily said and was dashing away at high speed.Suddenly, a palm came down from the sky and smashed him to the ground, leaving a giant palm imprint on the floor.The nearby lake shook due to the disturbance.Maccoy was crushed to the ground and was seemingly buried alive. He broke free from the sand. He was bleeding from his nose and mouth.He looked up at the giant palm which belonged to the chief of t
