Just like at the Gustav Emporium, both men came out of the car and headed into the jewelry store. This time, however, Alexander was the one who told the driver to come with him because he didn’t want to leave the man alone and risk him driving away to avoid carrying out his part of the deal.Not that it mattered now that Alexander had been given the new clause feature in his system.Because of how powerful the system was, no matter where the driver goes to hide from taking up his side of the deal, Alexander could still take whatever possession he wanted from him. With that assurance, Alexander only told the driver once to go into the jewelry shop with him and the man did as told. The reason for this is that now that the man knew just how rich Alexander was, and money also equating to power, the driver felt powerless to challenge Alexander.Alexander had completely conquered the driver, and he didn’t even have to do much except spend his own money to buy something he wanted. The syste
Unfortunately, his antics of wanting to scare Alexander were to no avail. Instead, the young man glared back at him.“I was standing here when you three came, so either wait your turn or go somewhere else. As you can see, there are other salespeople with their eyes on you. I’m not a mind reader, but clearly they want you to go meet them”, Alexander said. Jerry placed his hand on Alexander’s shoulder, trying to assert himself. The only thing he could try and intimidate Alexander with was his muscles, as their heights were almost the same. However, because of the system, that could change with time.Jerry said “Listen here, brat. The boss doesn’t wait, especially for someone like you, so this is the second and last warning you’re ever going to get from me. Go home now, or I’ll make you regret ever standing in the boss’s way.”Alexander looked at Jerry’s hand on his shoulder, then he looked at Jerry. “Let me tell you this instead. Get your hand off me if you know what’s good for you or
Chapter 18Jerry dropped to the floor like a rag doll and everyone looked at Alexander with shock.“What the hell? Did that punk really just do that?” The gentleman said.He looked at Jerry on the floor and said “I can’t believe this bastard lost to a kid. How embarrassing.”He palmed his face.“Now, because he affiliated with me, I’ve also been embarrassed. Looks like I’ll fire the idiot when he wakes up, but I guess the time for that was coming anyway” he said, making sure Stacy heard because he wanted to impress her.He looked at Jeff and said “What are you doing just standing there? Take care of the brat and don’t disappoint me like your friend just did, or I’ll fire you too. I pay good money for your asses, but this is the nonsense I get in return. What a joke”Jeff nodded and stepped forward.“You’ve made a really big mistake, kid. Jerry went easy on you and that was an error on his part. I on the other hand, don’t care about just beating you up. I’ll make sure I send you to the
Allen grimaced.“What are you talking about? You asked me my name, and I was about to say it, but you cut me off before I could finish. You acted like you knew and were expecting me, so I thought nothing of it because this is my first time visiting my uncle, so in my mind he had told everyone about my coming”, Allen said, then looked at his uncle.“Uncle, what’s wrong with your staff? I thought she was good-looking, which is why I wanted to talk to her, but I didn’t know she was crazy”, Allen said. Stacy pulled away from Allen, saying “I’m not crazy.”She took a second to regain her bearings and come to terms with the fact that she had made a massive mistake, confusing Allen with Alexander.Once she had gotten herself, she cleared her throat.“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. What we should focus on is the fact that this bastard came into the store and caused a nuisance when we were expecting a very important customer. I was about to call the police to come pick him up, so I’ll just go ahe
“Are you really Alexander Curry?” Stacy asked Alexander, looking at him with slight doubt.Alexander was quiet for a moment then he shrugged and replied nonchalantly “What do you think?”It was then she realized, and immediately, her face became ridden with regret.“Fuck. You are him” Stacy mumbled then gulped.She looked at the manager and saw the increasing rage that loomed on his face then she looked at Alexander. “Mr. Alexander, I’m so sorry! It was an innocent mistake on my part. I didn’t know you were the Alexander Curry we’ve all been waiting for and I’ve unknowingly treated you poorly which is something you definitely do not deserve” Stacy said as she rushed to Alexander’s feet and started groveling. She looked up at Alexander’s eyes and the young man had a look of disgust.“Sir, I promise it was a simple mistake that anyone could have made. Please find it in your heart to forgive me—“ Stacy said but Alexander cut her off.“Did it matter?” He asked coldly.“Huh? Did what mat
Inside the car, the driver looked at Alexander through the rearview mirror and he was worried about how to talk to the young man. He didn’t want to upset the young multimillionaire more than he already was.Alexander noticed the stare and frowned. “What? Why do you keep looking at me?” Alexander asked.The driver’s eyes fidgeted and he gulped.“Umm, nothing. I just wanted to know what we should do next. Where am I taking you next? To the Del Monte Royale Casino straight away or home to get cleaned and changed into your new clothes?”Alexander stared at the man and tilted his head, not saying a word for a few short seconds which made the driver even more nervous.“Did I say anything wrong, sir?” The driver whose guilt was eating him up asked.Alexander chuckled then smirked and replied “I know what you’re trying to do but for your information, it won’t work” The driver cleared his throat.“And what is it I’m trying to do, sir?” He asked.“You’re trying to distract me so I forget abou
“This one. This right here is the perfect watch that’ll fit such a beautiful suit, sir” Charles said, bringing out the watch from the box and showing it to Alexander.“If you don’t mind, please give me your wrist, let’s try it on,” Charles said, unhooking the watch so that it could be worn.Alexander pulled his uniform sleeve high up his arm and then stretched his hand so that the wristwatch could be worn on him. Charles kept the wristwatch in place and Alexander slid his hand into it until it was around his wrist. Charles then helped him clip the hook and to no one surprise, it fitted Alexander perfectly.“The moment I saw the colors of this suit, I knew that nothing would fit it more perfectly than the Patek Philippe Nautilus. How do you like it, sir?” Charles who had been standing all this time asked and finally sat down, waiting on Alexander’s verdict. Alexander observed how the wristwatch looked and fit on his arm. It wasn’t too tight and it wasn’t too lax either. It was the pe
Charles laughed, drawing attention to himself. “What’s the use of being shy and embarrassed? If you want to know how much someone has, or more importantly, how they got their money then go ahead and just ask. Look at me. I was able to go from poverty to having my own jewelry business and that’s because I wasn’t shy to ask the right people the right question so don’t hold back your tongue” Charles said.The driver glared at him and said “Hey, here’s my own piece of advice and it goes like this; why don’t you mind your own business?! I mean, who even asked you for your input on my matter? As you can see, I’m doing well for myself so don’t talk to me like you know shit about my life” Surprised to get that type of response, Charles looked at Alexander and asked “What’s his problem?”Alexander chuckled and replied “Don’t mind him. He’s just angry because we made a deal and he lost” Charles furrowed his eyebrows, tilted his head, and crossed his arms.“What type of deal?” He asked.“The
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
