The Marvellous Mafia Xavier Alonso

Chapter 5

"If only I had power, lots of money and influence. I would not be looked down upon by others anymore."

That's how Xavier used to mumble and fantasise as a child. Due to his unfavourable social background as a child, he was often bullied and underestimated by his peers and those around him.

For this reason, he always dreams of something that can make him strong, respected and no longer underestimated.

As Xavier remembered the chair in the hospital, he remembered there was no injury to his leg when he kicked the chair.

"Is this system able to make me strong and recover my injured body?" Xavier asked himself.

Now Xavier went to the bathroom to clean himself up first. He wanted to rest and think about how he would be in the future.

Moments later, Xavier was back again. His body already felt fresher and not sticky from the day's sweat.

Lying on his bed, Xavier thought about what was happening to him right now because all of this was happening to him. Things he never knew and expected before. However, he had often seen and known about the existence of this system in the dream world.

Knock! Knock! 

A knock was on the door of Xavier's small house from outside.

Knock! Knock! 

"Xavier! Xavier!"

There was a voice calling his name.

Creaked!

Xavier opened the door to the house and saw his friend, Maverick, standing at the door.

Maverick was her schoolmate. Although he was neither rich nor poor like his family, Maverick was better off than his other friends.

"Are you okay?" asked Maverick once Xavier let him into the house.

"Yes. I'm fine. As you can see."

"But I heard someone say earlier that Kylian's gang intercepted you. Is that true?"

"Where did you hear that?" asked Xavier, who felt he had never met any of his schoolmates. Except for Kylian's friends, before the two thugs just now.

"Ophelia contacted me. Then asked me to see how you were doing."

Xavier frowned, hearing the words spoken by Maverick.

"How did Ophelia know?"

"Ophelia said that one of Kylian's friends, Zamir, is hospitalised. And Ophelia heard the words of Zamir, who told his mum."

"Why is Ophelia in the hospital too?" asked Xavier, who couldn't understand and wondered how his friend Ophelia was also in the same hospital as Zamir.

"Zamir is Ophelia's cousin. And coincidentally, Ophelia was at Zamir's house when Zamir came home with many wounds on his body. His mother immediately took Zamir to the hospital, along with Ophelia, who accompanied him."

Hearing Maverick's story, Xavier hesitated to say anything to his friend.

"I can't believe you beat Zamir up. I think it's all his fault for following that bastard Kylian around."

Xavier just grimaced, listening to all the words and stories from Maverick.

"Have you eaten?"

Suddenly, Maverick asked Xavier a question, which made him realise that his stomach had been empty all day. He needs more time to eat and also buy food.

"Not yet."

"How about we eat out? My treat," Maverick said quickly.

He thought Xavier had no money. So he offered his friend a meal. And would pay for the meal later.

Xavier just nodded, obeying Maverick's words. After all, if Maverick didn't pay the money for dinner later, he could pay it with his current money.

***

News about the state of Kylian's gang and their fight with Xavier was not heard or talked about at school. This is because Kylian's gang lost, so there is no pride in the victories they usually achieve.

Thus, what happened and experienced by Xavier was also unknown to anyone. Because there was no way Kylian would tell his friends about Xavier's situation. He still couldn't believe his vision last night even though none of his friends who participated in the beating of Xavier came to school today.

Now, Kylian waited for Xavier's arrival at the stairs. Because Xavier's class was at the top, it was certain that Xavier would pass by the stairs.

"Where is he?" Kylian asked anxiously. He couldn't wait to see how Xavier was doing this morning.

"Morning Boss," greeted Evelyn, his famously bitchy female friend. But, of course, Evelyn was in the same camp as Kylian. Because she also didn't want to befriend poor people like Xavier.

Evelyn frowned, seeing the state of Kylian, who seemed to be not okay. Because of Kylian's face, they looked upset and always looked towards the schoolyard.

"Hi! What have you noticed?" asked Evelyn, patting Kylian on the shoulder.

"Eh!"

Kylian was surprised by the pat on his shoulder. He did not notice Evelyn, who had been reprimanding him.

"What's wrong?" asked Evelyn curiously. Unusually, Kylian was like this.

"Ah, nothing."

"Huh! You think I'm stupid so you can trick me with that answer?"

Evelyn, of course, would not take Kylian's answer at face value. She understands very well the character of her sales friend.

"Does this have anything to do with Xavier?"

"What do you know about that Xavier?"

Finally, as Evelyn mentioned Xavier's name, Kylian was provoked to ask. And that didn't sit well with Kylian.

"Hahaha, nothing. But it seems like you're very interested in him, huh," Evelyn laughed out loud, seeing how Kylian was behaving when she heard his words about Xavier.

"Ah, damn you!"

"Hmmm. You're starting to get interested in that Xavier figure you never liked. Hahaha."

Evelyn did not know what Kylian was thinking at the moment. All she knew was that Kylian hated poor students. Who could only ask for free fees, even for their daily lives?

Because according to Kylian, scholarships and fees for poor students like Xavier received only made the student big-headed. He didn't realise and understand how to be a poor person like Xavier because he already lived in a wealthy state since birth.

"Ah, it's Xavier!"

Quickly, Kylian looked in the direction Evelyn was pointing. And sure enough, Xavier was walking along with Maverick and Ophelia. With no injuries on his body. Even though last night he got hit by Zamir and Eren.

"How can she be okay? Does she have witchcraft?" thought Kylian, with a question that made no sense.
