Once Alexander realized what was making the three girls laugh, he knew that he just had to ignore them. He faced his front and resumed waiting for the server that Gerald was supposed to send to him. Unfortunately, even though he wanted to mind his own business, those girls were too nosy and wouldn’t allow that.The next thing Alexander knew, one of the girls had thrown a crumpled piece of paper napkin at his head. After hitting him, the projectile bounced off his skin and landed on his table, between his arms. Alexander looked at the small rumpled paper ball that was between both of his arms on the table then he sighed exasperatedly and looked at the table the projectile had come from.“Open it and read what it says” one of the girls mouthed, pointing at the paper on his table.Alexander scoffed, rolling his eyes as he looked away. He wasn’t going to be a part of their stupid game.Next thing he knew, the same girl that told him to read what was in the paper hall who was also close
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
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
