Blessing took Alexander into the school building and they started climbing the stairs which were on the opposite side of the building from where Alexander had parked his car.They headed for the Principal’s office, located on the third and top floor of the building.The moment Alexander stepped his foot on the stairs, he heard a lot of footsteps rushing from one place to the other.He paused, grimaced, and looked at Blessing who was still going up like nothing was happening.“I guess it’s nothing serious for her to be ignoring it,” Alexander said then shrugged and continued climbing.What he didn’t know was that Blessing ignored the sound because she already anticipated it and as such wasn’t surprised by what was about to happen.Alexander got to the first floor and he was surprised to see a great number of students, female students especially, standing by the railing outside their classrooms and staring at him as he continued to climb the stairs.It was like he was a celebrity surrou
Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and thought ‘A female voice? Hmm, I guess that’s the secretary’Alexander had done a little research on Scholar Academy after his hours of intense studying. In fact, his research on the school was the last thing he did before ending his study session the night before.During that research, he had checked out the school’s staff which was how he knew that the principal was a man“Okay ma’am,” Blessing said and then opened the door.“Good morning ma’am” she greeted, making sure that the principal’s secretary knew who she just gave access to her office.“Good morning Blessing. Come in” The secretary said, dropping her pen on the document she was working on.“Thank you,” Blessing said then nudged Alexander on the arm with her elbow.“Go,” she told him, using her head to gesture that he goes in first as he was the one there to meet the principal.She also had to close the door so she couldn’t go in before him.“Okay,” the young multimillionaire replied then d
“It’s the young man I told you about a couple of minutes ago,” Gift said and Alexander went to the doorway, showing himself to the principal.“Good day, Sir” Alexander greeted.“Good day to you too. Don’t just stand there, come on in” the principal gestured and Gift gave way for Alexander to pass.He went through the door and looked at Gift who wished him good luck and closed the door.“Please, take a seat” the principal gestured at the chair opposite him at the other side of his office desk.“Thank you” Alexander replied then went to sit down.The principal looked at Alexander for a few seconds then he took a deep breath and sighed.Although Alexander was multiple years younger than him, the fact that their economic status was monumentally different, with Alexander being on top, made the power dynamic between them a bit nerve-racking.This was the first time that someone as rich as Alexander was visiting him in his office and the only person who gave him the feeling he had now was th
“What about the backlash?” Alexander asked and the principal grimaced in confusion.“Backlash? What backlash?” He asked.Alexander chuckled for a second, making fun of the principal’s lack of foresight and naïveté.“Though Scholar Academy is fine now and there’s nothing anyone can say about the credibility of the school because everything is in order, now…” Alexander said, emphasizing the word “Now”The principal was quick to catch on to the emphasis that Alexander was making and he started sweating a little as the young multimillionaire continued speaking.Alexander said, “What would they, and by they I mean the public, say about the past?”“The past?” The principal furrowed his eyebrows.“You know, the past,” Alexander said and saw that the principal’s confusion still hadn’t been settled.“Since it looks like you aren’t aware, which I’m guessing is because of your age, I would like to inform you that this digital age has brought about the phenomenon where one’s past can negatively a
The principal netted his fingers, creating a triangle with his index fingers and thumbs and placing the point where the two index fingers meet on his upper lip.He looked at the young multimillionaire sitting in front of him and doubted if he heard what was just said properly. “Pardon me but can you repeat that? I think the sound from air conditioner affected my hearing” The principal asked. Alexander, who could see that the principal was doubting his ability to do what he just proposed, leaned back into his chair and alternated his crossed legs once more.“You heard me just fine so I’m not wasting my precious time and repeating myself. The question now is do you believe that I’m able to do what I just said or not?” Alexander asked confidently. The principal groaned then took a deep breath and sighed.“I don’t think you would offer such a deal if you didn’t think that you’re capable enough to fulfill it, so right now as I’m staring at you, I can only wonder just how deep your pocke
The principal smiled like a child when he heard the promise.“I think it’s only fitting for us to shake on it and seal the deal” Alexander suggested as he stretched his hand to the principal.The principal, who was more than happy to comply, accepted the handshake and said to Alexander once their hands were locked “I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart; thank you so much. You don’t know how big this favor you’re doing for me is”Alexander grinned and replied “Come on now, Mr. Dave. I couldn’t refuse after hearing all that. In fact, the price of the story behind the wristwatch is more valuable to me than the actual amount of one million dollars” Their handshake ended and both men returned to how they had been sitting. The principal thought about what Alexander just said and a part of it made him feel guilty.He asked, “Are you sure that asking you to pay such a huge amount of money isn’t too much?”Alexander shrugged and replied “I wouldn’t have offered to give you anything you
“I’m guessing that’s the person from the registration office” Alexander said.“Most likely” the principal replied and both men looked at the door.“Who is that?!” The principal asked loudly. “It’s Alexa, Sir. You called and told me to come to your office, saying that there’s something urgent you want me to do for you” Alexa said from the other side of the door.“Yes. The door is open” The principal said.“Okay, Sir” Alexa replied and then opened the door.She observed the office for a moment, taking note that there was someone else in there with the principal and then she focused her attention on the man who called her.“Good morning, sir” she greeted, bowing her head in respect.“Good morning, Alexa. Please, come in and stand here” the principal gestured at where she should relocate to which was beside his desk.He wanted her close to himself and Alexander because of what his request was going to be.Alexa did as told and went to stand by Alexander’s left side.“This is Alexander” t
“I guess that the next time we see, I’ll be an official student of Scholar Academy and I’ll have no choice but to refer to you as Sir,” Alexander said to the principal.The principal chuckled.“A student for only a day. What a truly funny circumstance, but regardless of how short-lived it’s going to be, it’ll be a pleasure having you as one of our students” the principal said.“Thank you” Alexander replied and then both men bid each other goodbye with the bow of their heads.Alexander walked up to Alexa who was waiting for him at the door and then they left the office.“You’re taking your leave?” Gift asked Alexander the moment she saw him. “That’s right. Thanks to you, Mr. Dave, and let me not forget Alexa, I’ll be able to achieve my goal” Alexander said and Gift smiled.“That’s good to hear,” she said.Alexander looked at the beautiful woman from head to toe and with a smirk, he said “Don’t forget about what I told you”Gift’s eyes widened then she, who hadn’t forgotten what he sai
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
