"Thank you so much, Sir! I don't know how I'll ever repay this debt to you!" Mr. Foster cried out.

Alexander chuckled as he went down and raised both the elderly man and his grandson to their feet.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I already owe you so much that doing little things like this is the bare minimum?" Alexander asked, but saw that no matter what he said, the elderly man wouldn’t rest easy after receiving such a massive favor.

He was old-fashioned like that.

Feeling defeated, Alexander palmed his face and sighed.

"Fine, then Mr. Foster. If you want, then just take this as payment for the different cuisines you made for me and my mum back then, okay? Just think of the amount I’m paying the contractors for renovating the restaurant as the price of the food with years of compounded interest and then a very generous tip. How does that sound?"

Mr. Foster looked at Alexander and he still felt uneasy. He couldn’t remember this past event that the young multimillionaire wa

    Alexander drove to the Sam’s Hotel, making sure to drive carefully so that the bags of food on the passenger seat did not fall and spill everywhere.This meant that everyone who saw his sports car drive by was disappointed by the speed at which he was moving. However, that didn’t matter to him.After all, he wasn’t a speed freak and had only bought the car because he liked the way it looked, and it allowed him to go from point A to Z. Also, it would make him more valuable when he pulled up to the Del Monte Royale Casino with it and that was exactly what happened.Francis had only allowed him into the casino because he had the car and, thanks to that, his network now sits at seven hundred and thirteen million dollars, which will increase thanks to his partnership with Charles and his other businesses that used to belong to Mr. Ferguson. When Alexander got close to the entrance of the Sam’s Hotel, he slowed down and checked if the two valets from earlier were still there. He had taken

    Alexander went into his room and then placed the three remaining bags of food on the table.He took off his outfit, placed it on a hanger, and hung it in the closet, beside his school uniform. He took a quick shower and then realized something important while he was naked and covered in drops of water.He only had his school uniform and the outfit he got from the Gustav emporium, which meant that now that he had taken his bath, he would have to repeat his underwear that night and even the morning after.It was different when he wore the same underwear to the Del Monte Royale Casino, but now that it was nighttime, and he had taken his evening bath, he was supposed to change into something clean.“Looks like I’ll have to get more clothes tomorrow,” Alexander said to himself, then sighed before grabbing the towel from the rack and cleaning his body dry. He changed into what he was going to sleep in, which were his boxers and singlet, and then he arranged dinner from all the food in the

    The Lamborghini parked in front of Alexander and the very happy valet came out.It was always a good time for him when he was given the opportunity to drive Alexander’s car and the amount of appreciation he felt towards Alexander could not be put into words.“Here you go, sir. Your car key”. The valet handed the key to its rightful owner.“Thank you”, Alexander replied, then got into the car and ignited the engine. He was just about to drive away, but then, he looked at the passenger’s seat and grunted when an important realization suddenly hit him.The first thing on his to-do list was getting new clothes, underwear, and footwear. However, from the sudden realization that looking at the passenger seat had just given him, he would need to reconsider. He had to rearrange the way things were listed on his schedule because the clothes, underwear, and footwear he planned to buy were a lot and when he did, he would have to drive around town, to get his other tasks done, with an uncomfort

    "Fifty thousand dollars?!" Christopher exclaimedHis eyes couldn't believe the figure that was right in front of them. Why would he when his impression of Alexander was that of a poor servant boy who didn't and shouldn’t have a penny to his name?However, what was written boldly on the withdrawal slip was going against his beliefs and right now Christopher felt like his world was shattering to pieces but the rude bank teller wasn’t going to stand for that.He grimaced and then quickly looked somewhere else on the slip.The first thing he had seen after taking the withdrawal slip from Alexander was the amount to be withdrawn and it was so surprising that it conflicted with his impression of the young multimillionaire.After regaining his bearings, he started to think that he had made a mistake and now his new mindset was that Frederick or Starr Dove or both had sent Alexander to come get some money for them.That had to be what was happening, but strangely, no matter how much Christoph

    "How dare you do that to my withdrawal slip?! I had to borrow a pen from the person that used to stand in front of me to fill it but you had the guts to tear it apart? Have you gone mad--? Alexander asked but Christopher cut him off.Christopher yawned"Get angry all you want, there's nothing a servant boy like you can do about what I did. Like I said, I’m not going to sit here and participate in your stupid little prank so get out while I’m still being patient. I've warned you once and I won't warn you again. Mess with me and I'll call the security right now" Christopher warned then looked at one of the security guards who was stationed by the mechanical doorAlexander followed Christopher’s eyes and looked at the big, tall, and muscular man whom Christopher was using the threaten him.Alexander groaned then took a deep breath and sighed again. He was doing his best to not escalate the situation beyond what it already was because this wasn't just any random place.This was the bank h

    Christopher smirked. He was overconfident, thinking that he had gotten a one-up on Alexander with the revelation he had just made, but sadly, he was dead wrong.The young multimillionaire who was standing at the other side of the counter wasn’t the same helpless underclassman he used to know.Alexander had grown tremendously within a very short period and that was all thanks to the secret weapon he had up his sleeve. A secret weapon that would turn any predicament in his favor.To Christopher’s surprise, the young multimillionaire, who he had thought would be shaking in the knees, also smirked.Alexander looked at Lucy and said “Please hurry up while doing what he told you to. I’d actually like to speak to the CEO of the bank”Lucy was confused. She couldn’t believe that Alexander still wanted her to get the CEO and take him there, even though he knew that Christopher and the man shared a close family relationship.However, since Alexander was the customer and it was his request to se

    Alexander’s eyes widened. He was taken aback by the sentence he had just heard come from Christopher’s mouth. With how cocky Christopher had been acting so far, Alexander had predicted that the rude bank teller was going to say some useless nonsense to the CEO of the bank. Not once, did he ever imagine that it was going to be something so ridiculous. The CEO grunted and then looked at Alexander, who seemed like he was more surprised than bothered about what was said.He stroked his beard and grunted skeptically, then he returned his focus to Christopher. “Are you saying that keeping this customer's account open is less beneficial to the bank than the other option which is leaving it as is?” The CEO asked. Christopher nodded energetically.“That’s right, uncle. This bastard is a poor servant who isn’t even allowed to have pocket money. I know this because his master’s son and daughter used to brag about it all those years I used to be in school with them, and I’m certain that it re

    Because banks use the money their customers put into their accounts to do other businesses, a stagnant account was beneficial to no one. Not the bank and neither to the customer. The other customers might not have understood what the CEO meant by growth when he made his statement but Alexander, who was very smart and quite knowledgeable when it came to business, got the gist easily.The young multimillionaire chuckled and then shrugged. “You don’t have a problem with your account getting terminated?” The CEO asked and from the side, Christopher smirked.He thought that he had been victorious in his shenanigans. “If that’s what you guys want to do then who am I to challenge it? After all, it is your business—“ Alexander said then his eyes widened when he realized something.The CEO furrowed his eyebrows, intrigued by Alexander’s sudden pause.“What’s the matter? Are you having second thoughts about what you were saying?”Alexander crossed his arms and kissed his teeth.“A little,” h

    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

    FRIEND REQUEST

    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.

    DELETED MESSAGE

    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,

    VEIL

    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

    EXPANSION

    “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

    DINNER TIME

    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

    LUCKY

    “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
