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

Alex looked at the men again and shook his head, pitying them for having a foolish boss. He heard an hysterical laughter and looked up to the see the young man laughing arrogantly. The lad was happy to have had Alex stuck in a tight corner and helpless.He has definitely not heard about Alex amazing martial skills.“Apologize Now! And they would back off” he yelled, giving Alex a last chance to save himself before the brutal beating. Alex ignored him as he was getting tired of his wit and just focused of the men before him.“So who among you is going first?” Alex asked the men. The young lad got angry that Alex would dare ignore him.“Beat him up!” he yelled. The men rushed at Alex and he sighed. Punches and scream filled the quiet store, it went on like that for a while and when the noises eventually died down. Everyone had a shocked look on their faces. “H…..ho….how did you do that?” the lad asked, trembling in fear and shock.Alex scoffed.“You should learn not to really judge a b

“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. He was previously known to be strict and commanding but the three years bet had changed him, the workers still feared him though.“Okay. The dishes are ready right?” he asked.“Yes.

He wasn’t going to need them as much as the other two families but he still needed to study them so he could turn them against the other two.

Alex had woken up late that morning, after his late night a day before. His head banged as he woke up. The effect of the alcohol was just starting to kick in. He went into the bathroom and washed his face and head which relieved his headache. As he stared at himself in the bathroom mirror, he noticed the dark circle and eye bags beneath his eyes. He wasn’t a fan of late night so it definitely took a toll on him. He sighed and got ready for work.Spending longer than usual washing the hard smell of alcohol off his body in the bathroom. He finally steeped out, dried his body, applied lotion and walked to the closet to get some clothes. He settled on a blue jeans, white shirt and blue timberland shoes. He did his normal facial routine and left the room. Alex was concerned about his looks and he believed the three years bet had harsh effect on his skin.He went downstairs, immediately to the dining table. He was starving since he didn’t have a good dinner last night. The chef had luckily

The next day at the Adam’s family villa.The head of the Adams family paced around his spacious living room, trying to calm his anger. News just reached him early this morning about the vandalisation of the family company overnight. He was furious as to why the heir of the Edward’s family would do such a thing.“How dare he?! Who does he think he is huh? Just because he is the heir to some useless empire, he thinks he can ruin my business?!” He yelled again, squeezing his fist in anger. His son, the heir to the Adams family was seated and equally angry. He had wanted to ask his father for money this morning when his father yelled at him angrily and called his names, he then got to know the cause of the father’s anger.

As soon as the cold breeze hit Alex face, he closed his eyes and relished in the cool night breeze. He felt so achieved and fulfilled and a wide smile spread across his lips. He sighed and proceeded to walk to his car. The day has been hectic and he had been working all day, he needed rest and he was going to get it. The chef made dishes for him before he returned from work but he was unable to eat it because he was rushing out to the club, he was starving and the alcohol were beginning to hurt his stomach. He was just thinking about grabbing a drive thru when his phone rang.He smiled as he saw the caller. It was Albert. He had missed the old man especially his tired look every time he had to deal with him. He picked the call.“Hey old man!” he said as soon as he picked the call.“Hi Alex. How are you doing?” he asked with his usual politeness.“I’m very well…..never felt so alive. You miss me?” Alex asked, jokingly.“Maybe” Albert replied coldly and Alex chuckled.“There is no other

His friends anger skyrocketed as soon as that statement left my mouth. Some of them murmured and pointed at me in annoyance while some of them approached me even more angry than before.“And who the heck do you think you are to challenge the heir of the Edward family like that? 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. Alex said nothing but a smirk was plastered on his face like he was glad to successfully make them more angry. His expression added to their anger and they were just about to throw him out of the club when a voice was heard.“Stop!” the voice yelled and they froze. All activities in the club seems to listen to his voice as everyone looked at his table for a while before things went back to normal. Alex smiled, his plan worked. The heir stood from where he had been sitting since the whole drama started and walked to Alex, stopping between his friends, he patted each of them on

Alex walked into noisy space just ten minutes past 8pm. He had taken his bath in a rush and immediately headed out to the bar. The bar was filled with different people of high caliber. The atmosphere in the club wasn’t a regular club atmosphere, it oozed wealth and influence. Alex immediately knew the Edward family heir would be around somewhere. The detailed documents he had read earlier made it known that he would always be here every Wednesday from 6pm till whenever he was ready to go home. Alex had waited this long to come here because he wanted him to get tipsy so getting him drunk won’t be a problem. He looked at the club again and chuckled at the number of rich heirs he saw, they all sat in clique with pride and arrogance. Alex knew the lesson learnt from the outcome of the Adams and Edward family would teach them a little dignity and respect. He took a seat by the bar stand and looked around for the young man. A sharp voice immediately got his attention.“Excuse me?” The voice

Alex was glad to finally get the documents. He had always wanted to get to the root of the five families wealth.“Yea. I attended to Jason already” Isaac replied.“But if I may ask, what does he need so much money for?” Isaac asked.“Just to pay for a little something” Alex replied and glanced at the pages of the documents.“Had you carried out my earlier instruction?” Alex asked.“Yes yes. The men are ready anytime you need them and they pledge their loyalty to you” Isaac replied and Alex smiled.“Thank you Isaac. Just wait till I instruct you further. I would let you know when the men are needed” Alex said.“Okay young master. I need to leave now to attend to some other matters. I would be in my office if you need me” Alex nodded and Isaac left the office.Alex turned fully to the documents before him and opened the documents of the Edwards family.

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? It has been going on for way too long and it has to stop” Alex replied, his voice cold a
