Chapter 7 Time To Go To School
Soon, Kara came back with another crystal ball in her hand.
After she sat down, she said, "Mr. Alex, I found a good property worth 1 gold coin like you requested."
Hearing that, Alex's eyes lit up,
"Show it to me!"
After a nod, Kara touched the crystal ball just like before and an old wooden building appeared inside the ball.
"Since Mr. Alex plans to turn the property into a restaurant. I tried looking for a property with a big space that can accommodate a lot of people."
"Here is an image of a three-storey building that has quite an amount of space which I think is suitable for turning into a restaurant."
Alex inspected the building while listening to Kara on the side.
Alex nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the building in the crystal.
Seeing that expression on Alex's face, Kara heaved a sigh of relief.
Then suddenly, hesitation appeared on her face.
"Uhm…"
Noticing that, Alex raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? Is there something you want to say?"
After a moment of hesitation, Kara finally spoke, "Actually, this property is located at the outer layer of the town so it's not a good location to build a restaurant."
"Also," she paused for a bit before continuing, "It's just a short distance away from slums where law and order is a bit problematic so…"
Kara didn't finish her words but Alex understood what she wanted to say
At the end of her words, Kara raised her head and took a peek at Alex's expression.
She saw that Alex had a thoughtful look on his face, rubbing his chin.
Seeing him like that, Kara didn't dare let out a sound, afraid that she would disturb Alex.
A couple seconds later, Alex opened his mouth and said,
"I've decided, I'll take this one."
Surprise flash across Kara's face when she heard that,
"Really?! But it's near the slums!"
Alex waved his hand dismissively.
"It doesn't matter." He said, "Whether it's near the slums or the noble district, it doesn't matter to me."
'As long as there's people around that can enter my dungeon, that's the only thing that matters to me.'
Alex silently said the latter part in his heart.
Getting Alex's confirmation, a smile bloomed on Kara's face.
She stood up and said, "Then I'll process the documents for the property immediately, sir!"
Alex nodded and Kara headed off to complete the purchase of the property.
10 minutes later, Kara came back with a paper document and handed it to Alex.
"Mr. Alex, I have already finished the other process for the purchase. To complete it, all you have to do is sign on this paper."
Alex picked up the paper and scanned it.
After seeing that there was no problem with it, Alex picked up the pen and signed his name at the bottom of the paper.
When Alex put down the pen, Kara stretched out her hand towards him and said, "Congratulations for your purchase, Mr. Alex. I hope you continue patronizing our property agency!"
Taking her hands, Alex shook it, "I will come back if I have the opportunity."
After that, the two exchanged a few pleasantries before Alex finally left the Golden House.
When Alex got out of the Golden House, it's already dark outside.
Looking at the clear starry sky above, Alex sighed, "I didn't notice that I spent too much time just purchasing a property."
"I guess I put off heading to the property location for now. I'll head back home first."
Exiting the Golden House's premises, Alex looked for a place with no one around and finally decided to go to a nearby alley.
What he didn't notice was, after he left Golden House, a few thugs not far away started following him with malicious intention.
But when they arrived at the alley that Alex went to, they saw no one but a dead end ahead.
"Ha? Where did that kid go?"
The thugs wondered.
After searching around for a bit, in the end, they found not even a trace of Alex and can only go back to their previous location.
…
Earth.
Alex's house.
It was silent and peaceful as if the world was in harmony.
But this didn't last for long.
On the empty sofa, the figure of Alex suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Looking at the familiar wall and 'decorations', Alex sighed.
"Phew~ I'm really back."
Feeling the comfort of his own home, Alex relaxed.
He remained sitting on the sofa for a while before finally getting up and jumping to the bathroom.
After he got out of the bath, Alex casually cooked some dinner before heading to bed.
Laying down on his old moldy bed, Alex stared in space in a daze.
"Everything that I experienced today feels so magical…" he muttered.
Even now, Alex still can't believe that all the things that just happened were real.
After relishing the things that he experienced for a while, Alex finally drifted off to sleep.
A calm night passed without any signs of disturbance.
…
The next day.
Monday.
Alex woke up early and is preparing to go to school.
Alex is still studying and is a senior highschool in his last year.
If everything goes according to his original life trajectory, Alex will graduate from highschool this year and find a normal job in the city.
Since he's incapable of sending himself to college, going there has never crossed his mind.
As for scholarships?
Well, let's just say that Alex is not really one that excels in academics.
So, that path is not really open for Alex to go to.
However, now, Alex doesn't have to worry about these things.
All because of the Alter(nate) Dimension!
In that place, Alex could grow to an unimaginable level and become someone who stands at the top!
That's why, at this time, Alex felt a little more relaxed.
Anyway, Alex finished all his preparations and has also eaten his breakfast.
And so, it's now about time for him to head out!
