Left alone, Alexander, once again, looked around the parts of the casino that he could see, observing all the games being played and thinking about which to go for.After a couple of seconds of not coming up with a decision, he chuckled and said to himself:“What am I thinking so hard for? I have a lot of money to play with and from where I’m standing, the night has just started, which means I have a lot of time on my hand to play as many games as possible. Lastly, I have the system that’s guaranteed to make this an eventful night. I’ll just take it one at a time.”Just then, Alexander’s ears twitched when he heard a sound that drew his attention.He looked to the right and saw the intense game of poker that was taking place on one of the poker tables.He then looked at another poker table beside that one and saw another game of poker that was just about to conclude and he smirked.“Bingo. Looks like I have my first game to play” he said to himself, then looked at the chip exchange co
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
Alexander took his right hand to the opened duffle bag and ran his fingers along the uppermost betting chips, causing them to generate clicking sounds as the chips hit one another.Next, he pulled out his left hand from his pocket, took it to the open duffle bag like the other hand, and stuffed both of them into the pool of betting chips. He rummaged around for a second and brought out two different colored betting chips.In his left hand was a purple-colored betting chip and in his right hand was a maroon-colored one.Both had different dollar numerical values on their faces.“Five hundred dollars and a thousand dollars respectively. From what I can see on the surface, I’m guessing that these are the only two types of betting chips in here and there are more of the one on my right than the one on my left”, Alexander said.He had stuffed his hands into the pile of betting chips and fished around because he only saw the two types in his hand and wanted to confirm if there were other va
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
Stanley furrowed his eyebrows. He interlocked his fingers, took them to his chin, and then pointed at the duffle bag.“So that large bag, you’re saying it’s filled with—“ he asked, but was cut short.“With betting chips, that’s right” Alexander replied. Stanley looked at the dealer with a face that asked the man if what Alexander had just said was true and the dealer, who had no doubts after rubbing his palms around the bag and feeling the lumps caused by a cluster of betting chips, nodded.Stanley grunted and then looked at his three friends, and they didn’t have to say anything to communicate their thoughts. He looked back at Alexander and asked “And how much exactly is in there?”Alexander shrugged then stepped forward, tapping the dealer on the shoulder and gesturing that he should move aside.“Sure thing sir,” The dealer said, dropping the one thousand dollar betting chip back into the duffle bag and stepping away from the table so that Alexander could return to where he was or
“Outsmart the dealer, huh?” Alexander placed his hand on his chin, sneaking stares at the dealer beside him as he contemplated the mission he had just received from the system. How was he going to outsmart the dealer? He wondered. He watched Stanley, Conroy, Patrick, and Tim arrange their betting chips, preparing for the new game of poker they were about to play.‘While I think about that, I had better use this time to…’ Alexander thought then, in order to act like he knew how to play the game, he tried copying what they did.He reached into his duffle bag and, with both hands bowled together, brought out as many betting chips as they could contain.He dropped everything on the table in front of him.Normally, the number of chips he brought out wouldn’t have been enough when compared to the number of betting chips each of the aged men had in front of them.However, when it came to value, his was just as much as theirs, so he only needed the amount he had on his side of the table. Bu
[Mr. Alexander Curry has successfully outsmarted the target, Mr. Philip Shey with his clever riddle.][Because the only requirement for succeeding in the mission has been met, the skill possession process shall now be initiated][Scanning all of Mr. Philip Shey’s possessed skills][fifteen skills identified][Click YES or NO if Mr. Alexander Curry would like to see the list of all fifteen skills]Alexander grunted.‘Fifteen skills are quite a lot. System, out of the fifteen skills, which ones are casino games based?’[Checking][Result: 5 unique skills]‘Hmm. Five unique skills are quite impressive, but I can only copy one.’Alexander contemplated for a short second then his next question came to mindHe asked, ‘System, what are these five unique skills?’[Skill 1: Card shuffling][Skill 2: Sleight of hand][Skill 3: Game rules memorization][Skill 4: Card counting and Memorization][Skill 5:***]Before the system could finish listing out all the unique skills that the dealer had, an i
Going clockwise and starting from Alexander, the dealer dealt two face-down cards in front of all the players, and then he returned to where he used to stand, between Alexander and Conroy.Since Alexander and Stanley had done their parts in the small and big blind bets respectively, the next to take action was Patrick, who had two options.He could fold, which means giving up, or he could keep playing. Now, to keep playing, he had two options. Either he calls, which meant matching the bet of one thousand dollars that Alexander had made and Stanley had matched, or he Raises by betting nothing less than double the amount of Stanley’s bet.That meant he had to bet nothing less than two thousand dollars and, moving forward, everyone had to either match or raise that amount.His action, however, depended on the combination of the faced-down cards he was dealt, so, Patrick covered them and checked. What he didn’t know was that no matter how much he hid what his face-down cards were, Alexande
Alexander went back to WhatzApp where he continued chatting with Winifred until she said that she had to go offline because her teacher just walked into the class and she would talk to him later. The chat ended which was good because Alexander was starting to get tired as he wasn’t someone who liked chatting all that much. After that, Alexander looked at his phone, from front to back, and groaned. “Why haven’t I upgraded this yet?” He asked himself as he looked at the phone with disgust. How could he be using such an old model when he had hundreds of millions of dollars in his account? It was unbecoming and disgraceful. “Alright, I guess I know what to do today,” Alexander said then he dropped the phone on the bed and went to take a shower. After a couple of minutes, he came out of the bathroom fully dried, put on what he would wear for his outing then he took the phone from the bed and went out of the house. He got into his car and got ready to drive off, but first, he need
If he wasn’t able to read at an incredible pace thanks to his heightened intellect, he wouldn’t have been able to finish reading the second message because she deleted it less than a second after he received it.She sent the message again some seconds later and the second sentence was gone.[If you are then it’s kind of late, don’t you think?]Alexander chuckled because the deleted message showed that the girl had eavesdropped on his conversation with her father because she shouldn’t have known that he was done with high school and was waiting to go to college.She knew this which was why she deleted it, hoping that he didn’t see the message. Unfortunately for her, he did, and she couldn’t ask if he did because it would be awkward, so she just hoped and wanted to move on.He replied [Yeah, I know] pretending like he didn’t see the message she deleted.He also messaged that he wanted to save her number so she should give him a minute. [Okay but hurry up so we can continue talking][No
After eating so much food and satisfying his hunger, Alexander slept like a log and because he had nothing to do the following day, the System didn’t bother to wake him up. Within the time that he slept, his body changed a little, adapting to the ten stat points he was awarded after accomplishing his last mission, and a good portion of the food he ate was used for that which was why he wasn’t bloated after gobbling up all those many dishes.The next morning came and Alexander continued to sleep, not hearing when his alarm rang until it stopped.A couple of minutes passed and the alarm rang again but still, he wasn’t able to hear it until it stopped.Between the second time the alarm rang and the next time it would ring again— after snoozing— Alexander received a notification on his phone.It was a message, two actually, but Alexander still wasn’t able to hear them because of how deep in sleep he was until, finally, the next alarm that rang woke him up.{“Good morning, Mister Alexande
Afterward, Alexander, Mr. Terrence, and Mrs. Terrence sat in the living room and talked business while Winifred was told to go to her room. The girl pretended to do that, but she sat by the stairs and listened to the entire meeting. Her reason for doing that was because she wanted to know when the meeting would be over. She knew that Alexander would leave immediately after the meeting was done and she wanted to see him before he did. A couple of minutes later and the meeting came to an end. “Since we’re done discussing everything we have to for today, I guess it’s about time I take my leave,” Alexander said as he stood up from the couch. “Of course. Please allow us to escort you to your car” Mr. Terrence said as he and his wife stood up as well.“Thank you” Alexander smiled.“Wait, Winifred hasn’t said goodbye to him yet,” Mrs. Terrence said.“What?” Mr. Terrence grimaced. “It was her idea to invite Alexander over for dinner which resulted in this wonderful meeting taking place,
After the Possession System had transferred all of Mr. Ferguson’s properties and net worth to him, it had also replaced his name and face in all proof of ownership to Alexander’s and that includes blog articles and documentation of the matter.The Possession System had also covered a veil on everyone’s minds that made them forget that Mr. Ferguson used to be the rightful owner of everything that used to be his and replaced it with Alexander if they ever tried to look up the information.The veil also made inconsistencies in the altered proof of ownership redundant, meaning that anyone who checked the information wouldn’t think twice after seeing that the casino which had been active for longer than Alexander had been alive was somehow founded by him and one other person.In essence, whenever they saw or read anything that used to have Mr. Ferguson’s name and face as the owner of things, they would see Alexander’s which is exactly what happened when Mr. Terrence quickly reached for his
“It’s fine, honey. Alexander is our guest so I don’t see why we can’t break certain eating habits to accommodate him” Mr. Terrence said and his wife groaned. Again, she suspected her husband and his intention for permitting the invite she gave Alexander to come eat with them.Still, she kept quiet and just let things play out.“Well, I’d like to increase the number the estates I’ve built from the cities we’re occupying to other cities in other states as well, creating like a housing franchise. While I’m doing that, I’ve been thinking of entering into other business ventures that’ll be more profitable in the long run” Mr. Terence said and Alexander groaned. “Other business ventures, huh? Which ones do you have in mind?” Alexander asked. Mr. Terrence cleared his throat because he didn’t know how Alexander was going to take what he was about to say.“Well, I was thinking of getting into ventures like the casino business but things like that are quite challenging. You’d need someone wh
“Thank you, Missus Terrence, and don’t mind if I do,” Alexander said then asked Winifred to help him with one of the bowls so he could dish more food for himself. As she gave Alexander the bowl and he started dishing for himself, Mr. Terrence asked “So, Alexander, as I was saying before I was painfully interrupted…”Mrs. Terrence rolled her eyes again while having a smile on her face.“What’s your basketball experience?” Mr. Terrence asked as Alexander gave the bowl back to Winifred to keep while asking her to give him another bowl. “I’ve never played the game before. As a matter of fact, I’ve never been on the court or held the ball before” Alexander replied and Mr. Terrence’s eyes widened.“What about high school? Didn’t your high school have basketball as one of the sports the students played? Surely you got curious about shooting at the hoop at least once or twice” Mr. Terrence said.“Yes, we did have a basketball court as well as other games but I never really got to play” Ale
Both ladies were looking very beautiful. Though Winifred was young and still growing into her looks, she was very beautiful and had an innocent look to her which would make any man’s heart melt. As for Mrs. Terrence, she was the evidence of what the young girl had to look forward to when she was her age. Her face and body were excellently crafted by her creator. “What are you guys talking about?” Mrs. Terrence asked and both Alexander and her husband looked at her and Winifred. “I was just getting to know Alexander a little better is all. Isn’t that right, Alexander?” Mr. Terrence asked and they all looked at Alexander. “That’s right. Mr. Terrence and I were just talking about how I grew up and all. Nothing too serious” Mrs. Terrence looked at her husband suspiciously for a moment. Like Alexander, she too had a feeling that there was a motive behind why he agreed to the dinner invitation but she didn’t think as far as Alexander did to realize the truth so she let it go. “Alrig
“I’m very observant, remember? I could smell your intentions behind asking me all those questions from a mile away” Alexander said and Mr. Terrence groaned as he furrowed his eyebrows.“My intentions?” The man of the house asked.“That’s right. I’m not a father, but if I were, especially a father to a girl child, I wouldn’t just allow a stranger of my stature and build to come into my house just because my daughter wanted to invite them. Knowing how good of a businessman you must be to have what you do, you wouldn’t make such a reckless decision which leaves me to think that the reason why you allowed my invitation to pass is because you wanted to know what type of person you new tenant is, so this is basically a business move disguised as a caring father act” Alexander said and Mr. Terrence kept quiet to listen to the rest of what the young multimillionaire was going to say. “Because it isn’t normal for a person my age to have the amount of money to rent a place here or drive the ki
