Seeing who it was that had yelled from behind, the guards quickly stopped their actions and when the man got to them, they bowed their head in obeisance.

“Sir!”

The man who had just showed up was Isaac, he ignored them and rushed to face his young master, Alex, before giving him a deep bow,

“Young master,”

Alex nodded with a smirk when the saw the look of shock on the guard’s face.

“I’m very sorry for showing up late sir. There was an issue at the company that needed my attention. Sir, you see the—“ Isaac was cut off by Alex who waved his hand in front of him

“It’s okay,”

“Young master, why aren’t you in yet? Did they give you a hard time?” it was obvious so Alex didn’t need to say a thing. The guards gulped when they saw the anger in Isaac’s eyes.

Isaac glared at them for causing a hard time for his young master and the guards cower in fear. They knew Isaac very well but weren’t familiar with Alex. It was a shock to them that Isaac had bowed to Alex and not the other way around.

    Alex finally went in with Isaac walking behind him. He looked around the hall and was excited when he saw the delicacies that had been prepared for the occasion. "Isaac, let's go sit there," he pointed at a corner close to the window. The place was secluded. They both made their way to the table, Alex sat and Isaac sat opposite him. They hadn't sat for long when Alex gestured for the server to come forward. He took a glass of wine from him and demanded his own food along with Isaac's food. The server quickly went to get the food before coming back with two trays of different kinds of food. When Alex saw it, his eyes glowed as they followed the food. He quickly folded his sleeves up before taking off his wristwatch, he handed it over to Isaac who took it from his young master and placed it inside his pocket. "You must be full?" He asked Isaac who wasn't touching his meal. "Yes young master, I ate before coming over," "Oh really? Too bad," Alex responded as he dragged the tray of

    “So what are you?” A lackey?” “Hey! Hold your mouth there. We are not in the streets where you can speak as you like, this is the Edwards family house You dare not spit nonsense here,” “A lackey it is,” Alex nodded his head as he said these words causing the man's anger to skyrocket. The man wanted to speak but Alex intruded,“What's the name again…? Huh… Damn it! Can't seem to remember. Anyways, I always seem to forget unless things,” Isaac pressed his lips together to stop himself from bursting into laughter. Thomas gritted his teeth in anger. He had seen Alex when he was having issues with Jean and her partner and he was excited that he didn't have to deal with him, but it looked like he'll have to handle the man by himself. Meanwhile, Alex had returned his attention to his food as he began to eat again. The people around began to whisper amongst themselves. They could help but feel anger inside them as they saw how Alex was eating free food in a party he didn't bring any gif

    The guests stood stupefied, even Isaac was shocked at his young master's words. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry because he knew that if it was money for a gift, Alex could buy a lot and still not lack money. He stared at the man who was pissed that his food was taken from him and not even at the insults the guests were pouring at him. He even went as low as calling himself a freeloader. “Who said that?” A voice rang throughout the hall. The people gasped when they saw who was coming through but Alex didn't flinch. He sat there comfortably even when others were standing. And that was one reason he didn't see who was coming.Thomas was quick to point his finger at Alex. He was so happy that someone from the Edward family has finally come to deal with Alex by himself“This arrogant man!” Thomas spat as he continued to point at Alex.Alex sighed, shaking his head when he finally saw who it was that had come to stand before him. He had thought it was someone important that he coul

    “I told you he came here just for food,” Thomas said to the head of the Edward family. The old man was fuming in anger as he continued to look at Alex whose eyes weren't even on him. His eyes were on Kenneth and Thomas, he had asked them a question after all. “Young man, just apologize and let this go. You don't want to mess with the wrong family,” one of the guests said but Alex shrugged as he got up from his chair, “I don't see why I should apologize. I haven't offended anyone. All I came to do was eat but they came here and took my food and my drink. It wasn't fare at all, so they are at fault, why should I apologize?” He asked with arched brows. The old man flew in a rage,“You sick boy, do you know that I can throw you in jail for this? You… you…” “That's enough. I am not going to apologize on any basis you drop at me. I won't apologize for no reason,” he straightened his shirt before saying to Isaac,“Let's get out of here. Seems we have overstayed our welcome,” Isaac stoo

    Turning around, Alex caught sight of a woman. He frowned, he knew this woman from somewhere but couldn't place his finger on it. Her dark purple lips stuck, where did he know this woman from again? He kept thinking but it seemed to have slipped off his mind. So much for being unimportant. He turned away from them and continued speaking with the sales girl when he heard again, forcing him to turn around the second time. “Hey, you!” Beside her, was a man who had a scowl on his face. He looked like Alex had once stepped on his tail and he was here for revenge. Alex stood still wondering what he had done to the man. He can't recall causing trouble to this man. The man and the woman began to walk towards him while the sales girls watched, including the girl who was attending to Alex. They wondered what was about to happen, they wanted to watch the drama because they could see how the woman and the man were talking toward them in anger. “You! How dare you cause my baby trouble!” the ma

    Alex suddenly raised his brows like he had just realized something. He turned back to the man, looking at him with contempt and then chuckled.“Why would I even do that?” Alex asked, still raising his brows. His sudden question shocked the man. He looked surprised to see someone question his command.“Beca—-”“I don’t need your flirty reason and besides this old hag here should be blamed for whatever happened between us. It had nothing to do with me” he replied and proceeded to walk out when the young man yelled.“Don’t you dare! You would kowtow to my woman this instinct with no further argument” he yelled. Alex sighed and turned back to the man.“You keep saying impossible things and I’m starting to think you might just be looking for trouble or someone to upset and I would say you have picked the wrong guy cause I don’t have time to entertain your nuisance and drama. Take your…..baby and fuck off!” Alex replied and this time he sounded more serious than ever. He looked tired and ju

And they would back off” he yelled, giving Alex a last chance to save himself before the brutal beating.

    “Ugh! That bastard really stressed me today” Alex sighed as he finally got home. He was too tired to drive so he took the bus instead and got more weird and harsh remarks. He blamed the young lad at the store for making him drain all his strength on those scumbags.His tired and frustrated look was suddenly replaced by a smile, he had remembered the sumptuous delicacies waiting for him at the dining area and he couldn’t wait to dig into them but he has to freshen up first. His hands were stained with blood and his body was sweaty but before he freshens up, he wanted to speak with the chef.“Steve!” he yelled out to the head chef. The elderly man was in the room in the next few seconds.“Oh. How are you doing?” Alex asked, smiling widely.“ Fine young master” Steve replied with his head bowed. Alex sighed.

What makes you think he would agree to you lowlife challenge just to drink with you huh?” they agreed, hitting his chest an pushing him.

    It was just few minutes past three pm and the afternoon sun was at its peak. Its golden ray shined into the room through the large glass view behind Alex desk, casting a shadow on the desk and floor. Alex twirled in his chair and Jason question rang in mind.“Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me and what do you want from the Adams family?” Jason had asked before he walked out. Alex was dumbfounded for a while as he thought deeply about his main reason for having this plan. He wanted equality, he wanted freedom and justice. The “five families” has always had their way and they have had they domination for way too long. Alex knew it was the right time someone put them in their place, someone has to check them and their arrogance. He wanted every person in Orange City to be had equally privileged as the five families. Enough of discrimination and humiliation.“Someone has to and why not me?
