The dealer gulped “What?”Alexander chuckled, telling the system to terminate the contract because he didn’t want someone who wasn’t involved in any of this to die.“Nothing. I was just joking but a word of advice. Never put someone else’s life on the line trying to back up your statement, or you might just cause their death one day”, Alexander advised, and the dealer grimaced in confusion.“Thanks for the advice, sir, but I still stick with what I said. I had no hand in your losses.”Wanting to change how awkward the situation had become, Mathew stepped in.“That’s right. If the dealer is the cause of the mass failures, then that would mean his actions made Mr. Ferguson to lose as well, which is a grave sin”, Mathew said, trying to change the narrative. Alexander retracted his money and stuffed both hands in his pockets.“Yeah, that’s true, but there’s one issue with that statement,” the young multimillionaire said.“And what issue is that?” The last gambler asked.“The fact that th

A couple of hours ago, immediately after leaving his room’s floor and walking into the Sam’s Hotel stairwell, Alexander, who had gotten the privacy of no one watching him, said:“System, I’m curious, but aside from the Clause feature, what other features do you have?” He wanted to learn about everything the system had to offer, because what use is having power when he doesn’t know how to use it to the best of his ability?From what he'd been able to do with just the basic functions the system had given him so far, he could only imagine what else was hidden and waiting to be discovered.A message from the system popped up, answering his question with a list of all the features he had accessed to, starting from the Clause Feature.One by one, Alexander went through the features, which was how he found out about the Skill Copy Feature that allowed him to copy the skills of anyone and all he had to do was outsmart them. After that was the Deal Feature, which was the one he had used on M

“You won?! What do you mean, you won?!” Mathew spat. The veins on his forehead and neck throbbing. Alexander looked at the man with a surprised face and asked “Is the air in here mixed with something or are you purposefully acting clueless?”“What did you just say to me, you brat?!” Mathew threatened. His fists clenched and vibrated as he stared down Alexander. “You were here when we made the bet and look at that” Alexander pointed at the jackpot slot machine with his thumb “I got all three lucky number sevens which if I’m not mistaken is the highest possible jackpot to get.”The young multimillionaire took a deep breath, adjusted his suit, and sighed.“So, I won’t waste my energy asking for what I’m owed. I think it’s time to bring me my money” Mathew laughed mockingly then he smacked his tongue“Bring you your money? Like hell we are! What you’re going to receive is a whole world of hurt—“ Mathew said, taking a step forward and acting like he was about to punch Alexander.However

Both bouncers took Alexander to the back of the casino then they pushed him towards the wall that blocked the young multimillionaire from escaping. With his hands up against the wall, Alexander looked up, realizing how high the wall was. There was no way he could climb it even if he had enough distance to get a running head start.The only thing that could help him was a ladder but where was he going to get something like that in a situation like the one he found himself? Nowhere.With that path out of the option, Alexander looked left and right, realizing that they led nowhere. He was completely boxed in with the only path of leaving that area being blocked by the two muscular bouncers.“You have nowhere to run or hide so don’t even bother trying,” said the first bouncer.Alexander took a deep breath, dropped his hands from the wall, and sighed.He turned around and faced his two assigned assaulters.“Yup. Looks like I’m trapped but that’s pretty obvious just by looking at this situ

“What are you doing here, Sir—?” Jeremiah asked the man who walked closer to him, Trey, and their assigned victim, Alexander, but was cut off before he could finish his sentence.Francis brought out an unsealed pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He pushed the top backward, exposing the scanty arrangement of cigarettes inside and then he took out one stick from it.He carried the cigarette to his mouth and the pack back to the pocket it had come from. From his other pocket, he brought a lighter and used it as intended before returning it.Francis took in a lungful of smoke and then exhaled.“You’re here asking stupid questions when a delicious proposal like that has just been made. Real or not, you two should have jumped at the opportunity before anything else but you chose doubt instead.” Francis said, shaking his head in disappointment as he smoked and got even closer“Honestly, I don’t even know who to blame here. The meatheads who undervalued an opportunity or the one who brought
