Alexander looked at the wine glass that Steven was offering him, stared at it for a couple of seconds, and then took it. He had read enough of the two men’s auras to have no issues assuming that they didn’t have any malicious intent in their minds toward him.Even if they did and they planned to get him drunk and defenseless against their manipulation, then, for the fifteen-minute time allowance he had given, which at that point only had eleven minutes left, they’d need to feed him something with a lot of alcoholic content.If they did that then he would easily observe the taste and smell and not drink more than a sip which would cause their plan to flop on its stomach.They could try and drug him but the wine bottle looked like it was sealed and his wine glass looked clear of any particles, so there couldn’t be any hidden substance that would affect his mind.Even if they did manage to somehow drug him then all Alexander had to do was outsmart them within the short time of mental cl
Both men talked about starting a bank together and how much it would take to get the business off the ground and running.Fifty million dollars each which makes a total of one hundred million dollars.Chris was tired of being the CEO of someone else’s company. In fact, from the very beginning, he had taken up the position of CEO with the mindset of exiting the company one day and starting his very own banking franchise.Using all the knowledge and relationships he had amassed over the years, his bank was going to flourish way faster than the ones before him.Now, all he needed were two things and those included the money that Alexander had and Alexander’s unknown multimillionaire status. It was hard to find someone with Alexander’s amount of wealth, who also wasn’t known by the public, and for Chris to not know who Alexander was when they first met then it must mean that many high-status individuals didn’t know who the young multimillionaire was either. This made Alexander a hidden
Alexander looked at Steven, whose head nod confirmed what Chris had just said and that he could get Alexander everything he came to the bank for without having to wait, which was good because, after withdrawing the fifty thousand dollars cash, Alexander would have to stand in another line and wait, who knows how long until it gets to his turn to speak with customer support.Chris and Steven had just offered him a way to get what he wanted to be done without having to stand in any line, and he was going to utilize that opportunity.“I had come to withdraw fifty thousand dollars, which was what started this whole mess, but looking back now, I’m happy it happened because, thanks to it, I’ve gotten a new business partner,” Alexander said and Chris smirked proudly. “Like I said, there’s always a blessing in every curse” Chris commented.“So, withdraw fifty thousand dollars. Got it. Anything else, sir?” Steven asked. “Yes. I also came to get a debit card. I’m tired of needing to make tran
A couple of minutes later, Alexander’s phone dinged and vibrated.He had just received a notification from the bank which he checked and saw that fifty thousand dollars had been deducted from his bank balance. “That was fast,” Alexander remarked, because it hadn’t even been up to five minutes since Steven, Lucy, and Tony left the office.“Of course. You’re my guest, so anything you want will be done as quickly as possible. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and they will be back before you know it”, Chris said, then continued to sit comfortably on his couch. Alexander, whose mind had been fixated on what Steven and the other two went to do and when they would come back, finally decided to take Chris’s advice and just relax. No amount of worrying was going to make anything happen quicker than it was supposed to, so he just let them do their job and waited.A couple of minutes more, the office door opened again and, to no one’s surprise, it was the same three bank staff members wh
As Steven requested, Alexander inserted his platinum debit card into the bottom slot of the handheld card payment machine, then Steven set it up so that Alexander could input his transaction pin.“Make sure it’s a combination of numbers you won’t forget, sir, and I don’t think I need to inform you about this, but you should never disclose the pin to anyone. Also, no staff of Polaris Bank will reach out to you, asking for your transaction PIN or any other personal information concerning your bank account details”, Steven advised.“Understood”, Alexander nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he knew just what numbers to press.He was going to use his mother’s date of birth, and with that in mind, he pressed two, zero, four, eight, and six, which represented 20/04/1986.After he was done, Steven finished with the rest of the activation process and the card was good to use. “It’s ready, Sir”, Steven took out the card from the slot and gave it back to Alexander.After looking at the ca
Alexander, Chris, and Steven walked outside the bank then the first thing Steven did was to show Alexander the direction of the ATM, which he didn’t have to because Alexander had eyes and he could see it for himself.After all, in front of the lineup of ATMs were other customers who were either making transfers, withdrawals, or checking their bank account balance like Alexander wanted to.“Go ahead and test your debit card, Mr. Alexander. Steven and I will wait for you here” Chris said.Steven stretched his hand towards Alexander and said “Allow me to hold that for you until you come back, sir”Alexander looked at the mini duffle bag that Steven wanted him to hand over and he didn’t really see the point.For one thing, it was compact and wasn’t heavy, to begin with, but then, he also had his advanced strength which made the mini duffle bag to be as heavy as a notebook to him.Still, he could understand that Steven was just making a nice gesture and it would come off as rude to not acc
“What is that matter, my son? What balance does it say?” She asked. Alexander groaned and looked at the elderly lady.“It says that your account balance is forty-two thousand dollars, Aunty…” he said, paused, then continued “…and that’s strange.” She gulped. “Strange? How my son?” She chuckled nervously.“First of all, you said you wanted to withdraw fifty thousand dollars for your granddaughter and here it says you are eight thousand dollars short, but considering that it’s your account, you should have known that if you took the time to think about it”“What are you trying to say, my son?”Alexander was very smart, so he was coming to a conclusion using all the information he had gotten so far and was also taking account of human psychology.“It means that when your granddaughter made the request you didn’t have time to think and just came to the bank to get it, which means the request was an urgent one and then there was your behavior when I told you what the balance was.”“My b
The elderly lady saw Alexander’s reassuring smile and wanted to doubt him at first, but then she noticed something.She felt the strength of Alexander’s arms that were on her shoulders. Though it felt gentle and from that she could tell that Alexander wasn’t applying much strength— if any— because she was an elderly woman, and he didn’t want to hurt her, she could still tell that if he wanted to, then he could use a crazy amount of strength.His body looked like he contained a monstrous amount of strength and, as a woman who had lived long enough to see different types of people, her eyes weren’t deceiving her.She grunted.‘Would it be enough for the kidnappers though? I still don’t know how many of them there are and if what he says is true, then there are at least two. One following me and the other keeping a watch on Blessing. Can this young man really handle a situation involving two able-bodied men like him? What if this is something way beyond his capabilities and involving him
