“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.

    One of the security personnel got close enough and placed his hand on Alexander’s right shoulder.“If you don’t mind coming with us, we’ll escort you out of the premises.”Alexander looked at the man whose hand was on his person then he looked at all the other security men and realized that he was greatly outnumbered.“We would like to make this as peaceful as possible so don’t do anything stupid that you will end up regretting later” It would be a five versus one battle if for any reason a fight did break out and the thought of the outcome forced Alexander to behave himself.He had sacrificed the double strength he got from Bob and Josh which meant that he wasn’t strong enough to defend himself if all of them decided to attack him.What’s worse, all five security men had very painful-looking batons strapped around their waists so not only was he outnumbered but he was also out-armed.He could have stood a chance of evading their attacks but sadly even the combat memories he got from

    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?” Jeremiah asked.Alexander, who saw that he had successfully gotten them to halt their attacks, gradually stopped panting and then gulped.“I mean, the salary here. How much could it be to allow yourselves to be used like this? You two are here, doing the dirty work, while that bastard is in there drinking a glass of champagne. Doesn’t seem fair now does it?” He asked.“What does it matter to you?” Trey asked. Alexander shrugged and replied “I mean, just looking out for the everyday worker. Bastards that use people really annoy me and it’s obvious that you two are being used as two piles of walking muscles. Don’t you want better for yourselves?”“Want better? From who? You?” Jeremiah chuckled.“You’re dead meat either way so just shut it and receive your beating” Trey added then raised his baton again and was about to attack Alexander but the young multimillionaire wasn’t done.“Okay, I don’t have to know what your pay is but I’m willing to double it if you let me go. How does

    “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

    Alexander’s and Francis’s conversation progressed smoothly.“Glad to see that we’re on the same page. Anyway, my yearly salary working at the Del Monte Royale Casino is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars which means to have these two meatheads pardon you, you’re going to have to give me half a million dollars”Immediately after hearing the amount, both Jeremiah and Trey’s eyes widened.“What?!” Trey exclaimed.“Sir, I don’t mean to question your intelligence but do you seriously think that such a young fellow has that kind of money to give out?! I know you said he gave you ten thousand dollars but you’re asking for fifty times that amount here!” Jeremiah said.Smiling confidently, Francis looked at the bouncer and asked “Do you think it’s an absurd amount?”“Pardon me for saying this, sir, but absolutely yes! That’s half a million dollars we’re talking about here! Not many people can go around giving an amount like that on a whim” Francis raised a brow.“A whim? Don’t be stupid.

    After Alexander had gotten his miracle, the immense amount of power it took to make something as godly as that happen, caused the system to shut down for a few minutes.It was because of his desperation to escape getting beaten up by Jeremiah and Trey that caused him to try using the Skill Copy feature the moment the system came back up. Not that it mattered because he had failed to do so. Now, the system was fully operational and that meant something very important.[Resuming the mission from the god of possessions][Mr. Alexander Curry has three minutes until punishment]With his miracle, Alexander had only succeeded in one mission which was the mission from the god of vengeance, telling him to foil Mr. Ferguson’s plan. That left the mission from the god of Possession which was to take something that Mr. Ferguson valued the most and the timer was running out to accomplish it. ‘No need to show me that I have a couple of minutes before I fail the mission.

    [Alteration process initiated][Processing][Time until completion: 5 minutes]After Alexander finished reading the message, he looked at Francis and the two bouncers skeptically.‘Wait. Does that mean that in five minutes their memories of whom co-owns this place will go from that bastard Ferguson to me?’[That is correct. The only people who would know the truth are Mr. Ferguson Sanders and you, Mr. Alexander Curry][The torment of having everything but losing it and remembering is the perfect punishment for breaching the deal][Time until completion: 4:37 minutes]Alexander got an idea and he smirked mischievously.“You asked me where I was going from here. Well, here’s the answer. I’m going back into the casino” he said, and both bouncers' eyes widened while Francis furrowed his eyebrows.“What do you mean you’re going back in there? If I remember correctly, you were kicked out”, Francis said. Alexander shrugged.“I know that, but who is going to stop me? It’s these two's job to

    “All the money that used to be in here is gone as well, so tell me, how could I have grabbed the wrong anything?!” Mr. Ferguson said, and Mathew’s eyes almost flew out of their sockets.“All the money is gone? When did that happen? Did someone rob the casino—?” Mathew asked, but his words infuriated Mr. Ferguson to extreme levels.The angry man threw the duffle bag at Mathew’s head, stopping him from finishing what he was saying.“Did somebody rob us?! Is that the stupid question you’re going to ask to cover up for this?!”Mathew, who had received a cut on the lower lip from the bag hitting his face, removed it from his person and dropped it on the office desk. “Cover up for what, sir?” He asked.“Do you think I’m stupid? Aside from me, you’re the only other person who knows the password to this safe. You’re also the one I told to take the bag of money to the office and now not only the bag but all my money that used to be in here is gone.”“Sir, what are you trying to say?” Mathew a

    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.

    DELETED MESSAGE

    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,

    VEIL

    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

    DINNER TIME

    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
