Xander System And The Blitz

10...I want to...

"Now, let's begin, shall we?" Chad mimicked, and his followers bursted into loud laughter that made Jeremy's jaw clench.

He stepped forward again, but Alec, like before, held him back. "Jeremy..."

"I can just fight them" He rasped.

Alec shook his head to show his disagreement. "I'm gonna handle this"

"Alec, I can end this now" Jeremy insisted, but Alec still disagreed, giving him a look that said no.

Chad laughed scornfully "You know Jeremy, I am disappointed in you," He shook his head with feigned pity. "Hanging out with a poor, useless guy like this?" He motioned a hand to Alec in a downgrading manner. "That's just low. You could do so much better than that"

"Shut the fuck up, Chad" Jeremy seethed.

Chad chuckled sickly. "Listen, Jeremy, this poor little shit here..." he gestured to Alec again. "Is gonna taint your image badly, you shouldn't be seen associating with him at all"

Jeremy's hands were itching to punch Chad's face, but Alec wouldn't allow it.

"We can just kill them all" Jeremy suggested in a sharp breath. "We could beat the shit outta them till they stop talking."

"We can't do that here, Jeremy." Alec told him, glancing around the store briefly.

Jeremy wasn't pleased, and Alec could see that clearly.

"I'm gonna handle this, don't worry, and I'm gonna do that in the most perfect way." Alec assured.

He knew beating them up was not the best option at the moment, especially with people around. With the new superpowers he had, he could try to do something, but he wasn't sure how far he could go, and maybe using those powers just wasn't the best thing to do right now.

He looked at the three jerks with a mischievous smirk.

"What are you looking at?" Chad asked, raising his brows "You know you should just leave now...." He glanced Alec's old clothes and shoes "Before I tear up those stupid rags you're wearing, then tear you up next."

Alec wasn't moved with his threat. "I am not leaving"

The three guys looked shocked and offended by what he just said as they had expected him to run out in fear.

"In fact..." Alec turned to the nearest employee who had been watching the whole drama. "Can I speak to the manager?"

"Are you kidding?" Chad laughed. "The manager is my cousin" He said with pride.  "You're gonna report me to my cousin now or what?"

Alec inhaled and said firmly to the woman standing a few meters away. "I need to speak to your manager."

The woman gave a quick nod and walked away.

"You're gonna regret this, Alec." Chad said confidently with an evil smile.

"He's not gonna regret anything, you bastard" Jeremy defended with the same confidence, then he stood close to Alec, pulled him backward, and whispered to him. "You sure you know what you're doing though?"

Alec looked up at his friend. "You don't trust me?"

"It's not like that or anything, but looking at this situation, I recomend being extra careful," Jeremy said in his whisper. "We should be careful"

"I am being careful, Jeremy" Alec said calmly.

"Who called for me?"

That was the voice of the manager, deep, commanding, and filled with what Alec could only describe as excessive arrogance.

Alec and Jeremy walked forward to get a closer look at the manager.

He was a young man who looked older than Alec and Jeremy but still young. He was tall, arrogant, looked like money and even smelled like money.

"Looks like a narcissist to me" Jeremy remarked under his breath. "And he must love money too fucking much"

"Yeah, that shit runs in their blood" Alec mumbled, glancing between Chad and the manager.

"Chad!" The manager grinned. "Oh my dearest cousin, you could've just walked to my office to see me instead of sending Mia to call for me"

Chad smiled, shaking his head. "I didn't call for you, Theo"

"I did" Alec stepped forward.

The manager turned to him and frowned. He took in Alec's poor appearance. "You?" He said with irritation.

"Yes. Me" He said back without flinching.

Theo, the manager, glared angrily at the employer standing with them. "You made me leave my office for this...." He looked at Alec with disgust. "DISGUSTING POOR BRAT?!"

"I'm sorry, sir, but I think he needed to discuss something impor—"

"Shut your filthy mouth, Mia!" Theo thundered. "And you are fired!"

Mia's mouth half opened in fear, her legs quivering, her eyes glossy. "Sir, please, I can't lose this job, I have a daughter and..."

"Well, you should've thought about your daughter before you came to my office, disturbed my peace with your words, and got me here for a filthy school boy"

Alec laughed dryly. "So that's how you just go about firing people, huh?"

Theo opened his mouth to spill degrading words but Alec cut him off.

"How much to buy this place?"

"What?!" Everyone around exclaimed. Chad, his two guys, Theo, and even Mia.

"Yes. You heard me Theo," Alec smirked. "How much..." He scanned the store casually. "To buy the entire store"

"You are acting rich now, huh?" Chad spoke up, sneering. "Guess what, Alec?" He simpered "Pretending to be rich, will never make you rich. Get that into your trashy skull"

"I said I want to buy the entire store" Alec repeated, his confidence not dropping, not even for a second.

"You heard that, motherfuckers? Alec is going to buy the entire store!" Jeremy announced, then he quickly asked in a very quiet voice. "You're really gonna buy it, right?"

The corner of Alec's mouth stretched into a mischievous smile. "I will."

"Look, little boy," Theo started talking, annoyance in his eyes and voice. "I hate it when people act like you're acting right now...like a little shit. And I am going to make sure that you pay for messing with me."

"Oh, you think I was joking about buying the store?" Alec laughed, shaking his head at the pathetic man.

"Yeah, Theo." Jeremy backed him up. "Alec wasn't joking about buying the entire fucking store"

"I need to speak with the owner of this place," Alec said coldly, his green eyes dark and serious.

"What?" Chad and his friends chorused, blinking.

"You all heard me" Alec said.

"Yep. You all heard him" Jeremy added with a smirk, clearly enjoying the show.

"Wait," Theo blinked, his brows knitted together. "You mean you really want to..."

"Yes." Alec cut in sharply, maintaining his serious look. "I want to."

There was something in Alec's eyes that could cause terror, something that wasn't there before, but no one could place what exactly it was.

Chad managed to let out a sick chuckle. "You're kidding" Then to his cousin, he hissed. "The poor brat is messing with us, call the security"

"Ah ah," Alec clicked his tongue "No one's going to call the security." He said coolly with no trace of fear in him.

He pulled out his expensive phone from his pocket and gasps echoed around the store.

"How....how the hell was he able to afford that?" Chad stammered, pointing at the phone.

"Okay!" Alec said loudly, getting attention. "I am going to say this ONE. LAST. TIME..." He stated, then showed up his phone. "I want to speak to the owner of this store..."

There was total silence.

"RIGHT. NOW"
