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. Show me what I really want
[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
“Hey, isn’t that the guy that was thrown out a couple of minutes ago?”“Yeah, that’s him”“Well, what is he doing back here and with the two bouncers from outside?”The other clientele murmured and asked themselves as they snuck concerned glances at Alexander, Jeremiah, and Trey. Their major concern was why the two bouncers had allowed Alexander to come back in. Wasn’t it their job to keep whoever was kicked out, out? However, here they were, accompanying Alexander.That put more of their intrigue into what type of person Alexander was for him to be getting such treatment from Jeremiah and Trey, whose actions seemed to denote that they weren’t bouncers for the Del Monte Royale Casino but rather, Alexander’s bodyguards.From the corner of the casino that he was watching from, Francis checked the time on his wristwatch.“Two minutes and twenty-five seconds more. Let’s see what happens next”, Francis said, then dropped his hand and continued seeing what Alexander was going to do.He als
