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.
'How are you doing? I hope you love your stay at Orange City. I’m so proud of you for staying all through the three year bet, withstanding the insult, humiliation and embarrassment from the rich and influential. You have proven that you can live well below your standard and survive making you sharpened in both worlds( the rich and the poor). The purpose of the bet was to curb your pride and see things differently which would greatly help with decision making and investment. I apologize for not receiving you after your bet but I’m sure Albert took good care of you. Anyways, enjoy your stay in Orange City and you would be seeing me soon. I love you Son' the text read.Tears welled up in Alex eyes but he quickly wiped them off and smiled. His grandfather was the only one there for him after his parents death and even when other influential family friends deserted him and left the company to collapse, his grandfather taught him management and leadership. He misses him so much and can’t wa
Alex got to work immediately, he had already thought of a plan the only thing standing between him and victory is to implement the plan. It won’t be a difficult task to carry out the plan as he was well aware that the relationship between the five families was fragile, they might be best buddies and strong union to the outer world but Alex knew deep down they were jealous of each other.To have power and dominance in a City would require a lot of illegal activities mostly especially when they are other active competitors around. The five families all have hidden dirty secrets and they all know each other secrets so to avoid loss of power, they pretend to be friends when they actually seek your downfall.The five families envy each other and each of them is thirst for power to rule alone with being called in groups. Penetrating that fragile relationship won’t be a tough task neither would it be easy but Alex was ready. He was ready to let them finally know who they were dealing with, h
