Inside his room, Alexander took off his clothes and went straight into the bathroom. He turned on the shower then stood in front of the full-body mirror and looked at all the bruises that Fredrick had given him in the morning.Because of how hectic everything had been from receiving the bruises to being taken to the hospital with Fredrick to obtaining the system and every other madness that happened after that, Alexander hadn’t gotten the chance to notice until now.None of the bruises hurt as much as they used to and it had been that way ever since he took Bob and Josh’s strengths for himself.If he wasn’t staring at them in the mirror then he would have thought that he didn’t actually have any injuries but he did.Since his body had adapted to contain their combined strength, the change must have also come with side effects that affected the pain he felt from the bruises.Alexander touched the bruise on his shoulder and immediately he felt the sting that he was supposed to feel. Th

“Something’s come up. I’ll call you later” the manager said as he ended his call and stuffed his phone into his pocket.Slowly, head walked towards the group of three.“What’s going on there? Who is that?” The manager removed the cigarette from his mouth and asked while looking at Alexander. “That’s what we’re trying to find out sir. We just saw him trying to go into the casino and now we’re asking him to identify himself” the bouncer by Alexander’s left said. The manager furrowed his eyebrows and asked Alexander “What’s your name?”Alexander observed the man for a brief moment and saw that the manager was a bit intrigued about him. He wasn’t just going to dismiss him like others. “My name is Alexander Curry” Alexander replied. “Okay and what’s that in your hand?” The manager asked, looking at the universal license that one of the bouncers was about to take from Alexander.“Oh, this is my driver’s license” Alexander replied, raising it and showing the man.“Alright then.” The manag

Ever since the moment Francis opened the entrance doors for Alexander and the two had their conversation, which was nothing more than a bargain for allowing Alexander in, the young multimillionaire could hear all the enticing sounds coming from inside the casino. He heard the sound of the slot machines, the money wheels, the chatting of the other clientele, and most predominantly, the energetic music blasting from all the speakers inside.Alexander’s imagination ran wild and it made him more eager to go in and increase the money he had left as soon as possible.Now walking with Francis through the passage that leads directly to the actual casino, the sounds Alexander heard got even louder, making the young multimillionaire even more enthusiastic about what was installed for him. Francis, who was quick to notice Alexander’s excitement, chuckled.Alexander was also quick to notice his temporary guide’s response to his excitement and he furrowed his eyebrows, wondering what he could hav

Melvin stared at Alexander for a couple of seconds, speechless as his brain processed what he had just heard.It wasn’t like it was an uncommon occurrence for one of the clientele to spend that type of money on a single day of gambling, but the fact that it was someone of Alexander’s age made things a little more shocking. Normally, people who were of Alexander’s age didn’t have that much money to spend and even when they did, it was never their own money they spent. It was usually their family’s money and, because of that, they never spent anything close to a million dollars.For Alexander to do just that left Melvin amazed and the man behind the counter started to chuckle.“That sounds wonderful sir and I wish you the best of luck with that,” Melvin said, and Alexander smirked. “Thank you. I know I’ll be needing every last bit of it”, Alexander replied, and because he was oozing a lot of confidence, Melvin, who for a second had started to think that this was the young multimilliona

All the distinguished gentlemen sitting around the poker table looked at each other, skeptically, for a second, then they looked at Alexander and frowned. “Is that how you children of the current generation speak to your elders? No greeting first or bowing heads in respect for the years of experience and wisdom we have gained beyond them all. Just straight up talking the moment you walk up somewhere” Said one of the men by Alexander’s immediate left. Another gentleman chuckled.“I understand your sentiment, Stanley. Sometimes, I catch my grandchildren acting out of terms and disrespecting their elders like this misguided young fellow and I have to constantly put it upon myself to teach them the error of their ways. Seems like this one is lacking when it comes to someone that'll do the same for him and that’s quite unfortunate” said the aged gentleman who was sitting directly opposite to Stanley. Stanley looked at the gentleman and said “I’m sorry to say this, Conroy, but I’ve never
