Troy returned to his table with the plate then sat down and used the spoon to take a good scoop of the food and ate his first bite.A smile crept onto his face as the food was so delicious he almost fell from his chair. “Wow, Troy. I didn’t think you were going to be able to get that guy to give you the plate” Steven said.“You doubted how intimidating I can be? The kid is no match for me so of course he had no choice but to obey me” Troy replied then took another spoonful.“Can I have a taste?” Owen asked.Troy looked at him straight in the eyes and said “No. If you wanted to have a taste then you should have gotten the food yourself” Troy chuckled and continued eating. He looked at Alexander and saw the young multimillionaire pick up the glass of the beverage Eve had poured for him and drink it.Troy furrowed his eyebrows, groaned, and then stopped eating. He remembered the waitress telling Alexander that the food tasted better if eaten with the special beverage, so he felt unsa
Eve looked up at Alexander, who seemed like a Prince Charming straight out of fairy tales and Alexander looked down at her with his soul-piercing eyes.“Are you okay?” He asked.She nodded.“Yes, I’m fine but I think I twisted my ankle as I fell,” she said, holding her ankle and wincing in discomfort.Alexander looked at his table and used his chin to point at his chair.“Why don’t you go take a seat and relax? Your ankle should heal if you don’t put any weight or tension on it for a wh—“ Alexander said but then moved his head backward, evading a punch to the jaw from Troy. “Woah, did you see that?”“Yes, I did. How was he able to dodge like that?”“Was he even looking when that punch came? I don’t think so”Everyone in the restaurant who saw what happened was surprised and impressed because Alexander wasn’t even looking or paying attention to the young man who just attacked him when he avoided the attack.Alexander turned his head to look at Troy and asked “What do you think you’re
“Oh, my gosh! I can’t believe he just did that to his phone!”“What do you think the other guy is going to do?!”“What should he do? Can’t you see that he’s alone while that arrogant prick came with his friends? If I were him, I would just let it go and call the police or something”“You’re right. There’s no use retaliating and getting beat up on top of everything that has already happened”“I don’t know. After seeing those crazy moves the guy did to evade those attacks, I think he can handle himself”“I don’t care if he can handle himself or not. I came here to eat in peace, so I don’t want to be a part of any fighting”The other customers murmured as they watched Alexander and wondered what he was going to do. Just then, the manager, who had snapped out of his startled state, walked up to Alexander’s table.He faced Troy and said “So you’re the one causing all the trouble that people have been complaining about. What are you going to do about all this mess you’ve created?”Troy gla
Troy wondered what to do about the situation he was in.He decided to try the opposite of what he was doing. Instead of trying to pull his hands free, he was going to push Alexander instead.Maybe that would catch Alexander off guard and he would be able to take advantage of that to get free. Also, because Alexander was pulling, suddenly changing from pulling himself to pushing would take advantage of the force Alexander was using and as a result make his push more effective.With that in mind, Troy quickly switched from pulling to pushing, but what happened next shocked him.Unlike what he anticipated, Alexander didn’t budge. The angle of Alexander’s elbows didn’t change. Alexander was as immovable as a mountain and that shocked Troy. He looked down at Alexander’s feet and tried pushing to see if they would at least move a little bit but, to his surprise, they didn’t.Again, he switched from pushing to pulling to see if Alexander would move but again Alexander remained planted lik
The five college students and Alexander looked at the two officers beside them and Troy grinned because a plan formulated in his mind.“It’s good you’re here, Officers” Troy said excitedly.The two officers grimaced.“It is? Okay then. My name is Mathew and this is my partner, Officer Garrick. What’s going on here?” the second officer said.Troy pointed at Alexander and said “This asshole shattered my car window and the last time I checked it is a crime known as destruction of property. Please arrest him” The two officers looked at Alexander and they groaned.“Is what he said true?” Officer Garrick asked.Alexander shook his head and said, “No, it’s not.”Troy looked at Alexander with a shocked expression. He didn’t think Alexander would lie about something he did that had so many witnesses to. “You liar!” Troy exclaimed.“Young man, calm down. We’re trying to investigate what happened” Officer Garrick said to Troy. Troy frowned.“Investigate? What’s there to investigate when I jus
To Alexander, he had nothing to do that afternoon. He was just waiting for the moment the system would inform him that the blackmailer had withdrawn cash from his money.Until that happened, Alexander had no problem being arrested. At least it was something to occupy him for the time being and when he wanted to be released he could just pay his bill which wouldn’t be that much.He had already gotten revenge on Troy for Eve so everything else was just a bonus. Troy scoffed because Alexander’s attitude was pissing him off.He looked at the officer and with a smile, said “So Officer Garrick, please go in and ask them what happened. You’ll see that the answer they give you will be the same as what my friends and I did because they saw everything that happened.”“Alright. You five wait here while I go get more eyewitness accounts of the story” Officer Garrick said then started walking to the Taste Makers Stake House’s entrance door.“Sure thing, Officer Garrick. We’ll be right here when y
Immediately, the college students widened their eyes. Officer Garrick turned to them and they became nervous. “You can’t listen to that asshole! He’s lying to get back at us for telling you the truth. I didn’t harass anybody. It’s all lies!” Troy said hurriedly as he saw Officer Garrick reach for his handcuffs. “I’m not taking his word for it but the word of the many people inside the restaurant that corroborate the staff’s claim of harassment,” Officer Garrick said then took out his handcuff. He pointed at his left chest pocket and said “I’ve already captured your faces with my body cam so don’t even think about running.” All the college students who had thought about running away immediately became weak and gave up the idea. “Just calmly surrender and we’ll go to the station where we can have a test to see if you’re telling the truth or not,” Officer Garrick said as he turned Troy around and cuffed him. Just then, the bell above the restaurant’s door chimed and when they al
Alexander went back to the house and had a long and relaxing nap.After a couple of hours of deep sleep, a message popped up in his mind.[Notice!][A sum of fifteen thousand dollars has been withdrawn from Mr. Alexander Curry’s five hundred thousand dollars reserve]Alexander, who was enjoying his nap so much, didn’t notice the message.Because the alarm he had set wasn’t going to go off for another hour, marking the mid-point of the time he was given to accomplish the mission, Alexander still had an hour of sleep left in him and was going to wake up when he was fully rested.Like the last he had set an alarm that he ironically had to wake up before it went off, the system could bombard him with a barrage of pop-ups and the sound of each pop-up would wake him. However, that wasn’t what the system was going to do this time. The system had evolved enough to do something more unique and effective.{Wake up, Mr. Alexander. It’s time to begin your mission} the system said but Alexander
