*****Alex’s former colleagues became dumbfounded as soon as they heard the question, making them exclaim unknowingly before immediately snickering. When the middle-aged man saw what his employees were doing, he became enraged, prompting him to gaze furiously at them and then decided right there to do something about them as soon as possible before they do something that would jeopardize his work and position. But just as he was about to glance back at Alex and apologize for what he had just witnessed, one of his employees wasn’t able to hold her mouth again and spoke out. “Boss, wasn’t that the trashy Alex whom you fired just some days ago?” “Hun?!” The boss's eyes instantly widened, and he quickly turned to study Alex well. Immediately, he noticed that he did appear familiar, but feeling the aura of greatness and that of an important person surrounding Alex, he swiftly refuted the notion and scowled at the speaker with a dark face. “What nonsense are you spitting from your m
Chapter 065**** Alex had called the guy sent by his aunty several days ago who had met him at the slum to come meet him at the pizza shop an hour ago.He didn’t call the man for two reasons other than to deal with his previous boss. But right now, Alex no longer feels that this is necessary.Expressionlessly, he watched as his former colleagues watched the man who had called him a young master judgmentally as if they were trying to check whether he meant it or not.Ignoring them all since he has no business with them, Alex glanced back at the Middle-aged man who was still kneeling before him and suddenly became confused by what he saw.At this moment, the pizza shop’s boss was busily gaping at the middle-aged man in the suit with his mouth and eyes wide open.It was as if he just saw a ghost, which confused Alex greatly.But he doesn’t need to act upon his curiosity because, at the next moment, the pizza shop boss was already stuttering with shock. “You… you… You can’t… can
**** Shana finally managed to calm Cliff down after many attempts and efforts.But before she did, when she had gone to where Cliff was enjoying his alcohol to beg his forgiveness, Cliff had been so enraged by a word she said that had prompted him to throw Shana's cell phone against the wall, causing the phone to completely break apart. So, after they made up, Cliff realized that he had gone too far which was why he decided to buy the latest phone for her. Perhaps, it might be a coincidence or fate. The cell phone store they had chosen happened to be the same one Alex had likewise chosen, so right now, the two parties could be seen staring at each other. …….. Back in the present.Who knows whether it was that Shana had quickly forgotten that her boyfriend, whom she was most proud of, had almost broken up with her because she had assaulted Alex, or if her hatred for Alex was just too strong for her to care about her boyfriend's desire, she was presently glaring ferociously at Alex
***** “You sure that boy is a Nobody?” Presently, the old Patriarch of the Sotto family was glaring coldly at Cliff whose heart was about to shoot out of his throat. Without any need to be told whom his grandfather was talking about, Cliff quickly nodded his head with certainty. “Yes, grandfather. He… he was worse than a hopeless person which was why I was sure he was just a nobody.” “Oh…” The old man stared at Cliff expressionlessly for a while more, trying to judge whether Cliff was lying, or meant what he just said. He nodded his head and coldly ordered Cliff to leave after a while more, which Cliff did instantly as if he was being chased off. Once outside, he wiped off the sweat which had unknowingly covered his face, while back in the study. Ignoring the fact that he was aware of how terrified his favorite grandson, who had loved him the most in the past, was of him, the old man banged the desk in front of him with his middle finger, his eyes peering into the space befo
***** Alex was presently tied to a chair inside an abandoned room within an abandoned house and surrounding him were his abductors. “Why is this boy still this calm?! Has he been kidnapped before?!” After studying Alex for a long time, one of the kidnappers couldn’t help taking a note. The remaining gangsters exchanged gazes at this before ultimately locking their sight on Alex at the same time as if expecting him to answer the question, but in response, Alex just rolled his eyes, owing to the fact that his lips had already been securely taped. “What do you say, guys? Should I remove the tape on his mouth so we could hear from him?” Another of them, who was as interested as everyone else asked, instantly making Alex able to tell by their expressions that they were extremely tempted to know the truth. But just then, one of them returned to his senses. “Nah… let’s not do that. What if he was only feigning calmness and immediately screamed the moment, we free his lips?” “Ah…
***** Alex didn’t even know whether to laugh or cry right now. He watched as the gangsters approached the currently scared-to-death Shana with evil glows in their eyes with a dumbfounded expression on his face. As for Shana, her face was already covered with huge beads of sweat as she stepped back with a petrified expression on her face. “Sto… stop right now!” She tried to be brave, but her voice unfortunately only showed nothing but how deeply scared she was, which excited the gangsters more than they already were. This made Shana realize that she was done for today. Then like a clock, her brain started working nonstop, thinking about how she was going to save her ass. After a while and just as the gangsters reached her, she remembered that she still possessed a powerful weapon that no one in their right mind would want to go up against, and she promptly deployed it. “If you dare to do anything unhumorous, I guarantee that you shall only despise coming to this planet.” The g
***** With her head ringing hysterically and her eyes wide open, Shana gaped at Alex in shock as the soldiers shielded him from all sides as if they were scared something would touch him. No matter how much she thought or what possibilities crossed her mind, she refused to believe them. At this moment, she had already forgotten everything that almost occurred not long ago. Poor her. She continued gaping at the soldiers who finally started heaving deep sighs of relief only once they were eventually certain that nothing was of threat to Alex, there then she saw as they apologized profusely to Alex, about how they came late. “Nah, you shouldn’t be sorry. Weren’t you already very fast enough?” She saw Alex respond dismissively, resembling a very nice young master of a powerful family. ‘Could Cliff achieve a feat like this? Commanding more than twenty powerful military men and making them heed his will?’ Shana hurriedly denied the thought as she knew it wasn’t possible. Then
***** From that day on, life assumed a predominantly tranquil demeanor for Alex.Upon waking up each morning, his breakfast would have already been prepared by Dami, and after they both ate, Dami would drive him to school.In school, Alex's classmates still frequently mocked and taunted him, though the frequency had dwindled since... although Alex didn't display it at all intentionally or not intentionally, it was evident to all that things had undergone a slight alteration for him, that resulted in a massive reduction in the manner in which they treated him.Furthermore, he and his class President, Jewel, had grown closer, engaging in regular conversations via phone within the classroom, even during lectures. Hence, observing their class President, who had seldom grinned in the past, perpetually beaming now, no longer elicited surprise from the entire class.On the contrary, Cliff had been absent from school for several days due to reasons known only to himself. While everyone was in
