**** The moment everybody heard the words of the man in a suit, they first became dumbfounded for a moment, trying to comprehend what they just heard.After a short while, they all glanced toward Alex, specifically behind him, as though they were looking for someone there, and then they all gazed back at the wealthy-looking man together in unison.“Who is he speaking to?”Someone muttered to himself blankly, wondering where the young master was.“What could the son of a wealthy family be doing here?”Every one of them became confused and filled with questions.Even though the wealthy-looking man was currently bowing to Alex, it didn't cross their minds at all that he was speaking to him and that the bow was meant for Alex, which was noticed by Alex. Smiling slightly at this, Alex shook his head and stepped forward. "Sorry for the inconvenience.” "Hun!!!" It wasn't the man who sounded, but the entire crowd.Their eyes immediately became incredibly huge, and they started gapin
*****Everybody, (°o°) Their eyes became wide open the moment they heard what the man uttered, and then subconsciously, they exchanged gazes.“Was… was he talking about the same Sea View Area that belongs to the most powerful people in the city?”“I… I… I think so!” Suddenly, an enormous amount of inexplicable regret filled the crowd to the brim.“But… but what is his identity? Wasn't he just a God-forsaken, cursed child?” The moment this person muttered this; he felt a sudden chill crawl down his spine, which instantly scared him to death.Hurriedly raising his head, he realized to his confusion that everybody was busily moving away from him as if they were scared he would jinx them. He also realized that they were the ones giving him their killing-intent-filled gazes. The man’s face became pale before he quickly glanced toward Alex and only finally became relieved when he saw that the two weren’t gazing at him at all. “I’m… I'm sorry I… I… I didn't mean that!” He muttered, but
***** Alex has known the mother-and-daughter duo for three years already. It must be known that most of his life was spent in the almost rundown building, so he practically knew when several of the tenants moved in. Back then, he had been flabbergasted to the core when he knew the room that had been rented to the mother and daughter duo, and if it wasn't because he hates putting his mouth at what doesn't concern him, he would have done his all then to convince the duo. Well… it wasn't that he doesn't try convincing them though, because that room wasn't a place that even an owner of a slave would want their slaves to be. It was his grandmother who advised him against it. According to his grandmother’s conviction tone then, the legless woman had been sleeping outside for way too long, and her daughter, ever since she was birthed into this world had never known what a room felt like because she too had been accompanying her mother to sleep under the sky, with no roof above them. Lat
***** Immediately after Alex implored her, Alex and the man in the suit took the little girl Favor and her mother to the residences of those who had used Favor and her mother’s services but didn't pay. Before they left, Alex didn't forget to threaten the landlady. Although he wouldn't see her again, not to mention of going ahead with his threat, the landlady, who had known what regret is, would really change for the better and would never look down on or bully anybody again for fear of what they might turn out to be in the future. Even after the group left, the crowd behind wouldn't return to their senses until thirty minutes later. But when they all finally did, regret would immediately eat away from their souls and bones. Not only that. They would envy Favor and her mother, whom they had treated like trash among trashes, and forever until the end, especially in the future when they hear news about Alex and realize the insurmountable height, he stood would they really regr
**** The moment the arrogant-looking man heard Alex’s question, a dumbfounded expression appeared on his face for a few seconds, then he glanced around him seriously as if he were searching for something, but in the next moment, his face became utterly black, and he growled lowly as if he was trying to contain a tremendous amount of anger.“Bastard! Which other beggars are here apart from yourself?” “Hun!” Alex’s eyes squinted slightly and returned to normal.Expressionlessly, he watched the man for a few moments before he finally decided to ignore him and walk away.But who would have thought that the man actually doesn’t know what’s good for himself? “Bastard! How dare you walk out on this God’s face! Are you tired of living?”Perhaps, someone had offended him before, whose aggression he was now dumping on Alex or something.Witnessing this, Alex grew enraged, but he had no intention of doing anything, so he opted to walk away. But just then, the man grabbed his shoulder and glar
**** Alex was the first person to return to his senses because he already realized how his identity was known. “Hello,” he said, returning the soldier’s salute. “I’m here to check out Villa 001.”“Yes, sir. We’ve already been contacted about that, and all the arrangements have been made.”“Thank you.” Understanding what Alex meant, the soldier hurriedly ran inside and was then quickly seen returning with a military pickup behind him.“Sir, I’ve arranged for these people to follow you, and they shall also be your personal guards.” “Oh…” Alex’s mouth instantly twitched slightly, then he gazed toward the pickup, which contained six strong men at the back, and another two that included the driver in the front. Just as Alex was judging them and thinking of how to reject the offer because he wasn’t about to publicize his privacy, the soldiers jumped out one after the other and saluted him with high morale.“Welcome, Sir Alex, from now on, we are at your service.”The moment they said t
***** Alighting from the pickup, whose door was opened by one of the soldiers, Alex gazed at the huge mansion before his eyes with amazement. Then he couldn’t help but give the soldier who opened the door for him an inquiry gaze.“Are you sure we are not in the wrong place?"“No, sir, I’m sure this is the place.” All the soldiers nodded with certainty. Not thinking much about Alex’s question, they hurriedly lined up at one side, waiting for his order. As for Alex, without understanding continued gazing at the mansion that covered a huge area of land, then at the surroundings. He sighed heavily. First, he already understood why the estate was named Sea View. It was because there is a huge, beautiful sea from all views within the estate. Had the place been opened to the public, there is no doubt that it would always be flooded with people. Alex had been moved by this view earlier in the pickup, yet he had still managed to record all of the villas within the estate in his memory.
***** Surprisingly, Alex was not looked down upon at the store where he purchased his clothing.The personnel there looked after him very well, selecting the finest outfits that thought would fit him wonderfully.And as always said, clothes maketh the man.Everything about Alex changed the instant he changed from the rags on him, and his handsomeness became the first point of view to be observed, unlike in the past when his poverty occupied the first position of observation.Forgetting that he was now a cultivator who shouldn’t be moved by worldly things, Alex patiently, happily, and enthusiastically shopped for the remainder of the day, and by the time he left, it was already night in the city.Even he himself was amazed by the power of money. Although he was already treated extremely well even when no one knew his worth in the boutique, Alex understood that it was what they'd been taught, but the deeper he went into selecting clothes, the more amazed the attendants became, and by t
