Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 193 Leopard

After leaving the restaurant, Alex went to a dark alley beside the restaurant.

Looking around, Alex made sure that there's no one around before suddenly disappearing in place.

When Alex appears again, he is already back in his house on Earth.

"Ugh, really, nothing beats home!"

Alex dropped his body on the soft sofa and suddenly, dust flew all over the place.

Poof!

"Cough cough, what the hell?"

Alex muttered while covering his nose with one hand while he fanned the dust away with the other.

After a while, things finally settled down.

Rubbing his nose with a frown on his face, Alex said, "I guess I've been gone for too long, huh. Dust has once again accumulated all over the house."

Shaking his head, he said, "It can't be helped, I can only clean up before I go to sleep."

Without wasting any more second, Alex immediately started with his sudden general cleaning of the house.

For a while, the sound of Alex moving the things around the house and throwing trash out was the only sound that could be heard around.

Even the crickets didn't dare to make any more noise since it's already noisy enough.

By the way, Alex didn't

Angelica shook her head, "There's no problem, Brother Zero."

"But, it's just that…"

Angelica didn't finish her words and only a sigh came out of her mouth.

Confused, Alex urged her to continue, "It's ifjust what?"

In the end, Angelica finally opened her mouth and spoke her mind out.

She looked straight into Alex's eyes and seriously said, "It's just that you already did a lot for us, Brother Zero."

"You've been doing things for us that I don't really see how it can benefit you in any way."

At the end of her words, she whispered, "I don't want me and my brother to become burdens to you…"

Alex's movements paused and he just continued staring at Angelica for a few seconds.

After a while, Alex signed and said, "Hais, why are you even thinking about such things."

He walked closer to her and rubbed her head.

"I'm doing all of this out of my own volition. I decided to take you siblings in because I saw myself in you."

"Despite all the hardships and unfairness in the world, you still tried to fight in a fair way. You were able to make use of the things around you to provide for yourself."

"I saw all these qualities when I first saw you outside the tower, making Ferri an attraction."

Saying that, a gentle smile appeared on Alex's face as he said, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about becoming a burden."

"Since I'm sending you guys to school, you just have to study well and in the future, you will then become capable enough to provide me with help."

"Isn't that right?"

Hearing that, the depressed look on Angelica's face gradually became brighter.

Nodding, Angelica looked at Alex and said, "You're right, Brother Zero!"

"Since that's the case, if you let me study, I promise that I will do my best to become you someday!"

"Good, good."

Alex looked at her with a satisfied smile.

After that episode, Alex headed back to the restaurant with the kids in tow.

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, there was no long line outside and the sign [Closed] was already placed on the door.

But the lights inside the restaurant are still on, meaning, there are still people inside.

Without stopping, Alex directly walked to the door and opened it.

Tingling~

A bell behind the door sounded, alerting those that are inside that someone has entered.

"I'm sorry, but we're already close. Please come back tomorrow."

Ben, who's standing behind the counter, said without looking up.

Alex didn't bother about his words and looked around the restaurant.

Alex saw that beside Ben, there seemed to be no one else here.

From the looks of it, the other workers already went back to their respective places, leaving Ben here for some reason.

Alex turned his eyes to Ben and saw that he was holding a paper and pen.

Seeing that, Alex thought, 'He should be busy with calculating today's finances.'

Thinking of that, Alex decided not to bother Ben.

But since Ben didn't hear a reply from the 'customer' who entered nor did he hear it leave, he decided to stop what he's doing and lift his head up.

The next second, surprise covered Ben's face, "Boss?!"

Hurriedly, Ben walked out from behind the counter and approached Alex.

"Wow, it's really you, Boss!"

Alex nodded at him, "Yes, I'm back now."

Ben looked visibly overjoyed just by the wide smile on his face while looking at Alex.

"Good, it's great that Boss finally came back!"

Alex looked at Ben and said, "How did things go while I was away? Did anything important happen?"

Ben immediately nodded, "Yes, Boss! Something important indeed happened."

Alex signaled for him to go on with his eyes and Ben started talking.

"In the past week, an employee of Golden House named Kara came here multiple times to discuss with the property owners around us to buy their properties."

"Currently, she has already bought every property in our surroundings."

Hearing that, Alex nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, Kaya did a great job."

Ben suddenly got confused at Alex's words and asked, "What do you mean, Boss?"

Seeing the confused look on Ben's face, Alex smirked, "Do you still remember the talk about our expansion?"

"Of course, Boss. I've been waiting for you to hear an update about it actually."

Saying that, Ben immediately pieced things together and his eyes lit up.

"Boss, you mean, that Kara person has been buying properties around us all because of your expansion plan?!"

"Uh-huh."

Alex casually nodded, confirming Ben's guess.

Ben was shocked to learn all this.

From what he knows, the area that's been bought around the restaurant is huge.

It's as big as 5 basketball courts placed together!

You can only imagine how big that is.

And now, that big area is actually being bought for the expansion of a restaurant?

This is really extravagant!

But Ben's surprise didn't last long.

When he looked at Alex, Ben felt like everything was just reasonable.

Alex stopped paying attention to Ben and turned his eyes to the kids who've been with him the whole time.

He crouched down to get to the same eye level as them and said, "So, you four, this place will now be your new home here in Kupido Town for now."

The kids can't help but start taking a look around after hearing that.

Seeing that they are already filled with curiosity for their new place, Alex continued,

"On the third floor, there is a room there that you can freely use however you want."

Angelica and her brothers looked at Alex in unison and asked, "Can we take a look at it now, Brother Zero?"

"Of course, you're free to go up and take a look at it right now."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zero!"

With Alex's permission, Angelica held her brothers' hands and they immediately ran towards the stairs.

Alex just looked at them with a smile on his face the whole time.

On the other hand, Ben looked at the kids that he saw for the first time with curiosity before turning his eyes back to Alex.

Unable to hide his curiosity, Ben asked, "Boss, who are those kids? Their looks aren't like yours so they can't be your family, right?"

Alex didn't answer immediately and Ben can't help but become scared that he angered the Boss by asking too much questions.

But after a few seconds, Alex answered, making him heave a sigh of relief.

"Those kids are from the slums of the Capital, Nagels." Alex said.

"The Capital? Wow, I haven't been to that place before." Ben said, seemingly in awe of the word capital.

Hearing that, Alex looked at Ben and asked, "Is that so? Have you been to any place beside Kupido Town?"

Without hesitation, Ben shook his head, "I've been here in this town since the moment I was born until now."

"Since I'm just someone from the slums who hasn't activated his 'World System's at that tjme, I don't really have any power to fight against monsters outside the town."

"Because of that, I didn't dare to even make a step outside of the walls of Kupido Town, afraid that if I did, I would immediately lose my life."

Saying that, a self deprecating smile formed on Ben's lips as he continued,

"It was around that time that I joined the Blade Gang."

"Even though we're called a gang, all we can really do is steal or rob those weak people in the town."

"Basically, we're just a group of lame people with only Don, our Leader, being the exception."

Ben stopped talking after saying that.

At the same time, Alex felt like he understood the story of Ben and the Blade Gang a little bit more.
