Just then, the server that Alexander had been waiting for finally came.“Sorry for my tardiness sir. I was just discussing with Gerald about your—“ the server said but then observed Mary, Lucy, and Gwen and he stopped himself from finishing his sentence.“Anyway, I’m here now so what would you like to eat for lunch? We have a wonderful selection of cuisines that’ll make you lick the plate once you’re done” the server said.Mary and the two other girls looked at Alexander whom the server just addressed as “sir”. They grimaced at how strange they found it then they looked at the server and laughed.“He won’t be having anything. I mean, does he look like he can afford any of the food here? Just carry on with your work like you’re supposed to—“ Mary said but Alexander who could care less about her, interrupted.“What you said sounds very tempting. Can I see the menu first” Alexander said and the server nodded.“Sure thing sir.” the server replied, taking out the menu from under his armpit
“That‘s right. You said that the bill is on you. Why else would we be sitting with you if that wasn’t the case?” Mary asked and immediately, Alexander realized why they had been quiet for the last couple of minutesThis is what they had planned to embarrass him.“Don’t mind him, waiter. I think he wants to run away from his responsibilities but you aren’t going to allow that to happen, are you?” Mary asked with a very seductive voice and body movements.She was trying to use her sex appeal to get the staff on her sideThe server looked at Alexander and the girls with a confused expression.“You know I came after they did so it’s impossible for me to have done what they are saying. Trying to defend this is so stupid. I’m done with all this nonsense and I’m going to my room.” Alexander said then used his strength to effortlessly stand up.Lucy and Gwen were surprised that the both of them couldn’t keep him down. Just how strong was Alexander? They thought.Mary frowned at them and they
Inside his room, Alexander took off his clothes and went straight into the bathroom. He turned on the shower then stood in front of the full-body mirror and looked at all the bruises that Fredrick had given him in the morning.Because of how hectic everything had been from receiving the bruises to being taken to the hospital with Fredrick to obtaining the system and every other madness that happened after that, Alexander hadn’t gotten the chance to notice until now.None of the bruises hurt as much as they used to and it had been that way ever since he took Bob and Josh’s strengths for himself.If he wasn’t staring at them in the mirror then he would have thought that he didn’t actually have any injuries but he did.Since his body had adapted to contain their combined strength, the change must have also come with side effects that affected the pain he felt from the bruises.Alexander touched the bruise on his shoulder and immediately he felt the sting that he was supposed to feel. Th
Alexander stepped outside the hotel’s entrance and immediately came across the two valets from before.“It’s the sir who owns the Lamborghini,” said the first valet who was the first to see him.“Nice suit sir. You’re looking very sharp. Are you on your way to a date or something?” The second valet asked.“Something like that” Alexander replied then finally got to where the two were standing. “I just wanted to say this but your car was so amazing to drive. I can’t wait for when I can afford one of my own” the second valet said.“That’s a good aspiration to have Good luck with that” Alexander replied then looked in the direction that the man had driven his car when he went to park it earlier.“Can you go get my car for me and please hurry up? I’m in a hurry” Alexander said.The second valet nodded and replied “No problem sir. I’ll go do that right now” He was about to run off to the parking lot but the first valet stopped him.“You parked it which means you’ve already gotten the chan
“Something’s come up. I’ll call you later” the manager said as he ended his call and stuffed his phone into his pocket.Slowly, head walked towards the group of three.“What’s going on there? Who is that?” The manager removed the cigarette from his mouth and asked while looking at Alexander. “That’s what we’re trying to find out sir. We just saw him trying to go into the casino and now we’re asking him to identify himself” the bouncer by Alexander’s left said. The manager furrowed his eyebrows and asked Alexander “What’s your name?”Alexander observed the man for a brief moment and saw that the manager was a bit intrigued about him. He wasn’t just going to dismiss him like others. “My name is Alexander Curry” Alexander replied. “Okay and what’s that in your hand?” The manager asked, looking at the universal license that one of the bouncers was about to take from Alexander.“Oh, this is my driver’s license” Alexander replied, raising it and showing the man.“Alright then.” The manag
“Sir, are you seriously going to allow someone who isn’t of age to go into the casino?” Asked the bouncer who was by Alexander’s left.The manager shrugged.“Why not? As long as there’s money to be spent and opportunities to be gained, I don’t really give two shits about how old the person is. Also, it’s not like this is the first time the rules are being bent a little” he replied.Both bouncers became even more shocked at his reply. “Sir, why are you just blurting out sensitive information like that to someone we don’t even know? What if he’s working for the police?” The bouncer on Alexander’s right asked.The manager grimaced as he looked at the bouncer that had just mentioned the police.“If he was working with the police, then don’t you think that saying what you did and making it seem like we are weary of the police is actually going to make things worse?” The manager asked.The bouncer being questioned gulped and stuttered:“I didn’t think about it like that. Sorry, sir”“Of cou
Ever since the moment Francis opened the entrance doors for Alexander and the two had their conversation, which was nothing more than a bargain for allowing Alexander in, the young multimillionaire could hear all the enticing sounds coming from inside the casino. He heard the sound of the slot machines, the money wheels, the chatting of the other clientele, and most predominantly, the energetic music blasting from all the speakers inside.Alexander’s imagination ran wild and it made him more eager to go in and increase the money he had left as soon as possible.Now walking with Francis through the passage that leads directly to the actual casino, the sounds Alexander heard got even louder, making the young multimillionaire even more enthusiastic about what was installed for him. Francis, who was quick to notice Alexander’s excitement, chuckled.Alexander was also quick to notice his temporary guide’s response to his excitement and he furrowed his eyebrows, wondering what he could hav
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
