“What?” Alexander asked.

“If you send this money to the blackmailer as hush money, you won’t be getting it back”

Alexander hesitated in saying anything back then after composing himself so as not to say the reason why he was sending the money in the first place, he smiled

“I know the repercussions of sending this money, yes” he replied.

“Then don’t you think that it’s too much? I mean, five hundred thousand dollars and all you get in return is asking me a question? I don’t mean to complain but does that sound like a fair trade to you?!” Chef Ronaldo asked.

Alexander shrugged.

“Sounds fair enough to me”

Chef Ronaldo was flabbergasted.

“How could that possibly be fair?! Are you being serious right now?!” Chef Ronaldo exploded.

Alexander who was tired of the back and forth sighed.

Instead of trying to explain to the concerned chef, he decided to go at it a different way.

“I can ask you the same question, Chef,” he said and Chef Ronaldo grimaced.

“What do you mean by that?” Chef Ronaldo a

    The blackmailer on the other end of the call was silent for a few seconds which made the chef worry about what he was going to say. In time, the blackmailer broke his silence. [“Sure thing. This money should be more than enough for me to finally disappear from your back. With that said, do you have my money or are you wasting my precious time with this call? Just so you know, any answer besides the former will cause you to get a befitting punishment”] “Yes, I do” [“That’s great!”] the blackmailer chuckled and then groaned. [“Wait a minute. That was kind of fast.”] “Huh?” [“How exactly were you able to get it so quickly? If I remember correctly, you were complaining about not having the money and were trying to get me to reduce the amount even though I was never going to do such. Were you lying to me about not having it?”] “No. I wasn’t” Chef Ronaldo clenched his fist and frowned. From the phone, the blackmailer could sense the anger in his tone. [“Did you just rai

    A minute ago, just as Chef Ronaldo stood up from the metallic table and was speaking to his blackmailer on the phone, Alexander decided to do his own thing.He called out for the system in his mind.[Yes, Mr. Alexander?]‘You heard my entire conversation with Ronaldo right?’ He asked.[Of course Mr. Alexander. I’m always listening so I can be of service when you want me to be]Alexander groaned and grimaced in discomfort. ‘I don’t know how to feel about that, especially now that you’re gaining sentience and would soon become an actual person instead of the voice programmed into the Possession System, but that’s beside the point. Back to what I was saying. After Ronaldo finishes his call and gets the account number from the blackmailer, I’m going to send him the money to transfer to what most likely will be a burner account’[Okay Mr. Alexander][That means you want to use the money to find the location of the blackmailer]‘That’s right’ Alexander smirked.‘Since the blackmailer is us

    Alexander quickly dismissed the system.[As you wish, Mr. Alexander] the system replied then vanished in time for Chef Ronaldo to return to the metallic table.“So, how did the call go?” Alexander asked, pretending like he didn’t hear the entire conversation with his heightened hearing. “It went fine, I think,” Chef Ronaldo said, exhaling tiredly as he sat down beside Alexander like he used to.Alexander saw the confused expression on the head Chef’s face. Alexander grimaced in curiosity.“What’s the matter? You don’t look like someone who had a fine conversation, and yes, I know that it was with your blackmailer, but still, for some reason I feel like it’s beyond that” the young multimillionaire said.“Yeah. About that. During the conversation, there was something said that kind of reminded me of—“ Chef Ronaldo said but his eyes widened and his body became tense.“What?” Alexander asked quickly. Chef Ronaldo exhaled, calmed down, and went back to acting normal. “Nothing. I was ju

    The moment Alexander walked out of the kitchen, he met James and when the restaurant staff saw him, he stopped what he was doing.“I’m guessing your meeting with the head chef is over,” James said as Alexander walked up to him.Alexander nodded.“That’s right”James looked at his wristwatch, smiled, and looked at Alexander.“You also kept your word about it being short-lived. Thanks for that”“No problem. I wasn’t able to finish my discussion with Chef Ronaldo but he did tell me to come back in the evening, so that’s good.”“Oh. The head chef said that?” James looked surprised, wondering what more could the young multimillionaire and the head chef have to talk with each other. “Yeah. He also said something about reserving a table for me for tonight. You can ask him all about it later if you want” Alexander said.James grimaced, groaned, and then shrugged.“Thanks for the info,” James said then started walking towards the kitchen door.However, just as he walked up to Alexander, the y

    Alexander parked on the opposite side of the street from where the Taste Makers Stake House restaurant was located. He turned off the car engine and looked through the closed driver door window to stare at the stake house for a few seconds, focusing on how the place looked.“Doesn’t look as great as The Mighty Julius Restaurant but I guess it’s still a nice-looking spot” Alexander shrugged then grabbed the door handle and opened the door.He got out of the car and immediately, one of his heightened senses, his nose, kicked in.From where he stood, Alexander could perceive the enticing aroma emanating from the restaurant a few feet in front of him and it was powerful. The aroma was so great that his mouth almost watered.“System, why did you choose this place again?” Alexander asked.It was a weird and unexpected curveball that the system chose a place that sold mostly stake dishes when he had asked for a restaurant to eat at.Clearly, he was asking for a place that sold a different

    “I’m terribly sorry about that. Hope the thief didn’t hurt you in the attempt to take your phone” Alexander asked.[“Not at all. I’m perfectly fine. I suspect that it was a pickpocket, so I didn’t even know my phone had been stolen until I got home and tried to use it for something but couldn’t find it in my purse”]“Oh. That’s terrible” Alexander said. [“Well, I was already planning on upgrading to a newer model, so it wasn’t that bad. Thankfully all my photos and important stuff like contacts and documents are backed up in the cloud so I didn’t face any challenge besides going to the phone store to get this new on”]Alexander smiled because things turned out positive in the end.“Lucky you,” he said.[“Yeah. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that and see how you’re doing. Since I’ve done that and you are about to eat a dish you’re saying smells amazing, I think we should end it here, for now. Talk to you later in the day”] “Yeah, talk to you later. Be careful so you don’t lose ano

    As he expected, the food was very delicious and it was only the first bite he had eaten.What would the rest of everything the plate had to offer taste like? Alexander wondered and proceeded to eat.While he ate, Troy and his friends fooled around, making jokes and showing each other social media posts of sexy girls on their phones instead of ordering something. “Look at them. Such noise makers” “I wonder who their parents are ‘cause this isn’t how a well-trained child should behave in front of others” “I hope they eat fast and leave because they are making the environment sour”Some of the customers, especially the older ones whose table was close to Alexander’s gossiped.Troy, who could hear the majority of the side talks being made about him and his friends, clenched his fists.He looked for who to reproach and then turned his torso to glare at the two elderly customers whose table was right behind him. Unlike the other customers, these two elderly folks had just made a concern

    He was more angry that she was giving Alexander what seemed to be special treatment than anything else.“Sir?” She said.“Since it’s like that then go tell the other waitresses to make the same dish for themselves and bring it to this table so I and my friends can eat it. This dump should have at least five waitresses who you can ask, right?” Troy asked and saw Eve grit her teeth.“I’m sorry, sir but that won’t be possible,” Eve said.“And why is that?” Troy frowned.“Because the others have already had theirs. The only person who I don’t think has is Joyce. I can ask her if she’s willing but even if she agrees, it’ll only be one plate which isn’t enough for all five of you” Eve said.“Joyce?” Troy grimaced then remembered that Joyce was the name of the waitress he had talked to a few minutes ago.“I don’t think Joyce is going to do that, Troy,” said Melvin, the guy that Joyce had met outside standing by the passenger seat door and told to stop the music. Troy looked at Melvin and ch

    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

    FRIEND REQUEST

    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

    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

    IRONIC

    “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

    EXPANSION

    “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

    LUCKY

    “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
