Once he walked through the front door and went outside, Alexander heard a knock on the gate.“I’m co—“ Alexander said but was cut off.From the other side of the gate, he heard. “Hey! Don’t knock on the gate, you idiot! There’s a button right there on the fence you’re supposed to press to use the inside bell. Press it and the person inside would hear and know that there are people outside wanting to see them”The person at the gate placed his hand behind his head and chuckled awkwardly.“Sorry boss. It’s my first time on the job so I was kind of nervous. Anyway, where did you say the button was again— got it! Lemme press it—“ he said but was interrupted when he heard the gate getting unlocked.On the other side, Alexander opened the personnel side of the gate and the first thing he saw was a young fellow who was wearing a company uniform with his finger hovering over the bell button.“Don’t worry. I heard you guys pull up and honk your horn when you parked” Alexander said.“Oh,” the y
Not long after calling them, the cleaners came to the house to clean everywhere then they left.After that, Alexander went to the grocery store’s website and added everything he wanted to his cart.He checked out and in a couple of minutes, a lady and a guy from the grocery store came to the house to deliver everything he ordered.The two workers had different tasks. The guy was to do the heavy lifting while the lady was to do the meticulous organizational work.So, after the guy took everything into the house, the lady arranged them in the fridge and the kitchen then she showed Alexander what went where so he could easily access them if he wanted.The workers from the grocery store left and Alexander was alone in the house with nothing much to do.Life had become extremely easy because of the insane amount of wealth he had and everything else that the possession system had provided him with.He was feeling hungry so he went into the kitchen to cook something, but because he had never
The restaurant staff grimaced.“Yes he is around but why do you want to see the head chef?” He asked. Alexander had already anticipated that question even before he entered his car and drove all the way to the restaurant. As such, he had already prepared the perfect answer to give.“My parents had a dinner date here last night and when they came back home they were so happy that I just couldn’t help but come over and thank Mister Ronaldo for everything,” Alexander said then observed the staff’s expression to see if he was falling for his lie.There wasn’t any change so he continued.He said “The thing is, they’ve been having some issues which is expected for a couple who’s been together for more than two decades, but after they came back from this restaurant, it was like they had fallen in love with each other all over again. I just want to show my appreciation to the person who made that possible” Suddenly, Alexander saw a change in the staff’s expression. The staff blinked rapidl
Chef Ronaldo looked at Alexander from head to toe and he groaned with a face of disgust.“To think that that bastard would send someone so young to try and threaten me. I can’t believe he thought for a second that something like this would do shit” he said angrily. Tired of what was going on, Alexander decided that it was time to put a stop to it.To Chef Ronaldo’s surprise, the young man who he pinned against the wall grabbed the wrist of the hand that held his shirt collar then he felt a crushing pain.Alexander squeezed the chef’s two wrists, causing the left hand to let go of his collar while the right hand struggled to hold on to the knife.It shook vigorously while the knife came increasingly close to escaping his grip.“What the hell? How are you so young yet so strong— ouch!” Chef Ronaldo winced and then let go of the knife.The knife fell, the tip aiming for the chef’s right foot which Alexander saw thanks to how proficient his observational skills were.Acting swiftly, Alex
Chef Ronaldo who continued to look at Alexander skeptically dropped his arms and held his wrists which hurt and felt like Alexander could have broken them if he wanted but didn’t for whatever reason.That thought made Chef Ronaldo start to give Alexander some more benefit of the doubt.“So you were being truthful when you said you were just here to ask me a question and you’re not working for the person blackmailing me”Alexander nodded, saying “That’s right. I’m not the person you’re thinking about. In fact, I don’t even know who the person you’re thinking about is”Chef Ronaldo took a deep breath and sighed. The chef left where he was, walked over to one of the metallic cooking tables, and sat on it.“Sorry about attacking you and then doubting you when you tried to tell me the truth” the chef apologized.Alexander who felt safe throughout the whole situation because of how strong he was, shrugged.“It’s no big deal. But what about you?” He asked.“What about me?” The chef grimaced
“What did you say? Sorry, but I didn’t quite hear you” Chef Ronaldo said.“Don’t worry about it” Alexander replied then walked closer to Chef Ronaldo.“So, are you going to tell me the details of this whole blackmailing situation or do you want me to go on my knees and beg? Sorry, bad joke” He said.The skeptical chef looked at him straight in the eyes.“Don’t worry, you can trust me. No matter what it is, I promise that I won’t judge” Alexander said and then thought about how even if what Chef Ronaldo says is something worth judging, he had no choice but to help him regardless. Depending on what the chef said, he was going to deal with the morality of it after accomplishing his mission and securing his reward. Just then, Alexander thought that the likelihood of the gods giving him a mission to help someone who did something morally wrong was very low, but at the same time, these were gods he was dealing with and he couldn’t tell what they would and wouldn’t do.As a human, he was v
“Well, uncomplicate it for me,” he said.“Yes, what I said was true and I did kill someone but it was by accident.” Chef Ronaldo said and Alexander wore the face of someone asking him to explain more.“Before I created the Might Julius Restaurant, like every other chef, I used to work for someone else, somewhere else. One day, we had a customer who came in with his date and because she was new to the restaurant, the customer ordered her dinner for her”“Okay,” Alexander commented and waited to hear the rest but so far everything seemed okay. How did it divert into someone’s death? He wondered.“I was being tested by the head chef that day so I was instructed to make the two dishes and I did a very remarkable job, if I must say.” Chef Ronaldo said and Alexander looked at him with judging eyes.It wasn’t the time to be praising his cooking.“Anyway, the waiter took dishes to their table but when he got there the customer who ordered for himself and his date wasn’t there. He forgot his
Alexander placed his hand on the tired Chef’s shoulder.“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this whole mess for you. That filthy blackmailer will regret ever reaching out to you when I’m done with him” He assured.To Alexander’s surprise, he saw Chef Ronaldo chuckle and look away. Alexander grimaced in confusion and then asked “What’s the problem? Did I say something funny?”Chef Ronaldo took a deep breath, exhaled, and then looked at Alexander with a glint of guilt in his eyes. “I know I told you everything but I only did so because I was tired of keeping it all to myself and just wanted to free my chest. I don’t know why but for some reason you seemed like a trustworthy enough person to tell the truth to so I did, but calm down with promises like that” Chef Ronaldo said Alexander frowned.“What are you talking about? Why are you all of a sudden acting like I can’t handle this situation when we just made a deal less than a couple of minutes ago?” Alexander asked.“You’re right. We did
