“I might have not gotten to see you lick my shoe like I wanted but I’ll be sure to put this new skill you’ve given me to good use,” Alexander said to himself then smirked proudly.Suddenly, a message from the system popped up.[The God of Vengeance is pleased by the result of Mr. Alexander Curry's use of the free slot. Ten merit points have been gifted][Total Merit Points: 10][The God of Possessions is pleased with Mr. Alexander Curry’s choice of taking a possession so important to Mr. Adam Chase. A special reward has been given to help Mr. Alexander Curry]Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head as he focused on the line of the message that talked about receiving a special reward.‘What special reward?’ Alexander asked himself. The display that only he could see changed to a hovering gift box with a message beneath that asked if he wanted to open the box.‘Yes, open it.’ Alexander said.Immediately, the gift box opened and the inside began to evolve a golden light. Sud
Alexander who needed a place to clean up and change into his new outfit drove to the Sam’s Hotel which was a very popular hotel in town. He parked in front of the entrance and from the driver’s seat he watched as the two valet ogle at how nice his car wasCurious, about the two fellows, Alexander read their lips to know what the conversation they were having was about, and from the little he could understand, they were wondering who the driver of the Lamborghini could be.Because the windows were tinted, they couldn't see who was inside.“I’m pretty sure it’s a celebrity that’s inside the car. Only people like that can afford such an expensive-looking vehicle,” said one of the valet “That or some rich business tycoon” replied the second valet. Alexander chuckled at the fact that he was none of those two descriptions. He read a few more of the suggestions they made but then he quickly got tired of just sitting around and eavesdropping on their conversation.He opened the door and c
They all walked to the elevator and Gerald pressed the button to make the door open on the floor they were on but just as they started to wait, Alexander spoke.He said, “If you guys don’t mind, do you think we can use the stairs instead of the elevator?” Gerald and Michael looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.“Why, sir? Do you have an issue with elevators?” Gerald asked.Alexander shrugged and replied “Not an issue per se but using an elevator makes me nauseous. If possible, I would like to avoid that” Back when Alexander used to serve the Dove family, they would always force him to use the elevator even though they knew he didn’t like it. Even back at the hospital, he was forced by Mr. Curry to follow them in the elevator and all through the lift he had to do his best to maintain composure so as not to have an upset stomach.Now that he was free to do whatever he wanted, Alexander was choosing not to use the disorientating equipment.The elevator door dinged and opened, drawing
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
