Chapter 96 Legal Slaves

The guy was quick to hand Alex the documents.

Going through it, confusion and surprise flashed over Alex\'s face.

There were a total of four groups after this property and surprisingly, none of them were from the states.

One group was a real estate firm from China, another was an e-commerce company from Mexico, then a startup from Italy, and lastly there was a small investment firm from Japan.

The names and the offices of these groups were mentioned on the documents, but Alex knew that it was just a disguise.

Alex looked at the guy in front, who was now having a complicated look on his face.

"I-I know what you might be thinking of, sir. And yes, you\'re right." The guy said, as if being able to read Alex\'s mind.

"I can\'t give you more information as of now. My higher ups have instructed me to hand out the info after a certain period of you signing these documents."

The guy put out a few papers in front of Alex.

On it were clauses mentioning that Alex would resolve the conflict of this property and the LCB would give it to him without any charge. All registration and other fees would be taken care of by them and so on and so forth.

Alex was fine with this. He wasn\'t strong enough to challenge people, let alone big organizations.

Even to stop an attack of the El Vizan on the White House, he had to reveal most of the things to Nicole. He was weak and couldn\'t do it himself.

These four groups belonged to some major powers of the world. It wouldn\'t be a surprise that it was a disguise of a big cartel or something.

Things were more troublesome than Alex initially imagined.

In any case, he wasn\'t going to let go of opportunities. He had to grow, he had to find the Celestial Archway and have his family ascend, otherwise everyone\'s gonna die like normal mortals due to aging.

Alex signed the documents and after a light chat with the guy, left the building.

Linc came to the gates to pick him up and once Alex got in the car, he saw a disgruntled look on Linc\'s face.

Knowing she was unhappy, Alex was satisfied. He knew exactly what would cause her to be like this.

"Did you finish at least two levels?" Alex asked the most important thing.

Linc\'s expression turned grave, making Alex understand everything.

"One level?"

Linc\'s depressed face now had a hint of blush on it. She said in a low mosquito-like voice while starting the engine, "y-yes."

"Really?" Alex asked, trying to confirm things.

Linc felt embarrassed now and wanted to jump out of the car.

No matter what, she believed that one level could be completed by even a child. Yet, she…

*Sniff* *Sniff*

Alex made an exaggerated sniffing gesture and said while rubbing his chin, "I smell something super sus in the air. I wonder why…"

Linc immediately turned her face away, trying to hide from Alex.

Alex laughed internally.

"Linc, you didn\'t answer Master." Alex said.

"W-w-who\'s Master!?" Linc said with a flushed face.

Hateful guy! How can he be so shameless to call himself her Master?

Alex chuckled. "You don\'t have to answer anymore, I realized everything. Anyway… punishment is inevitable for failing to clear even two levels."

"W-w-what!?" Linc said with a slight panic.

"We\'ll talk about it later. Drive now, I have to go home." Alex said.

With an embarrassed look, Linc could do nothing but drive as Alex mentioned.

It was really shameful to not have cleared even two levels.

As far as she knew, be it any game, the first few levels could be easily cleared by any newbie. However, she…

She was totally confused while playing and didn\'t understand anything. There were just too many numbers and the graphics sucked ass!

Literally! There were just boxes everywhere in the game and then numbers, nothing else.

The only saving grace was that the numbers were a bit colored otherwise she would\'ve felt dizzy and passed out by staring at it too much.

What was the game?

Of course it was the hateful Sudoku!

She hated this game even more than Alex!

What the fuck did the numbers mean? Why was she supposed to insert 1 to 9 in random boxes? And why did the numbers not give out any response after placing them in the boxes?

Where was the manual to play this game!?

At first glance, Linc thought that it might be a puzzle of some sort. Once she arranged the puzzle properly, a mysterious RPG quest would start and she could begin her adventure.

But once she searched things on the internet, it turned out to be a crap mind game!

Cheh! Hateful!

Linc hated such things but she somehow had to complete two levels before she met her Master.

But well, even after watching ten tutorials, she couldn\'t understand things properly and then her Master texted her to be at the gate, making her unable to play the game.

Now that she met Alex and he talked about punishment for not clearing two levels, she was starting to wonder which was more hateful? Her Master or the game?

The game inflicted great damage to her psyche but her Master inflicted damage to her mentally and physically both.

Hmm…

After some thoughts, Linc came to a conclusion that her Master was definitely the most hateful.

However, he gave her shelter, food, and even a job now. His wives were also very kind to her. She really liked them, especially that greenish-blue haired lady called Nix.

Not to mention, he was also slightly handsome. Slightly. Just very very slightly. It definitely wasn\'t a reason for her to hate him a little less.

After some internal battle while driving, Linc finally came to another conclusion that her Master and Sudoku both were on the same level of hatefulness.

Due to Linc\'s unhappy mood, Alex safely reached home without a scratch on the car or on himself.

It was 5 pm and his and Nixie\'s family were having snacks and coffee in the living room.

As Alex walked in, everybody turned to look at him.

No, not him, this time their gaze was on the strange feminine guy in a suit behind him.

Isla, being really confused, couldn\'t help herself from asking, "who\'s that, Alex?"

Alex got himself seated beside Melissa and said with a smile, "my assistant, Linc. Linc, say hello."

"Hello." Linc said in an ambiguous tone while bowing slightly.

This made everyone in the room think, was this a guy or a girl?

Linc looked feminine but not too much to be a female. He also didn\'t seem to have much facial features similar to a man. Plus the tone…

The people had many questions, but knew it would be rude to right away ask whether the person was a guy or a girl, and thus kept quiet.

Janet decided she\'ll ask her son about this later.

In the meantime, Melissa handed her husband a slice of cake and asked, "so… Linc will stay with us from now on?"

"That\'s right." Alex said flatly.

"What?" Janet was surprised.

Alex looked at his mother and said, "I hired Linc from a company that deals in proving butlers and maids to rich guys. Although we\'re not rich rich… I really needed an assistant and had to hire someone."

Josh chimed in this time. "You could\'ve just hired some professional and given a normal job to them. Do you really need an assistant to roam with you all the time?"

Alex nodded. "I\'ve got a lot of work and any sane person wouldn\'t be willing to overwork themselves so much. They\'ll have to sacrifice their social life and just be around me. It\'s too much for them."

Everyone except Melissa had a weird look on their faces, as if what Alex just said was something too stupid but also somewhat correct.

"Linc, go brew some tea." Alex said and sent Linc away.

He then looked at his and Nix\'s parents and said while leaning forwards, "that company from where I got the guy… It\'s actually like a shelter for homeless people. Homeless people are picked up and trained there in a very sophisticated manner. Then they are sent out on employment."

Alex and Nix\'s parents knitted their brows.

"Isn\'t that…" David wanted to say wasn\'t this just selling slaves? But he chose to not speak as slavery was a very sensitive topic.

Alex could roughly guess what they had in mind and hurriedly answered, "there\'s no problems or harm done to anyone. I simply pay the necessary fees for the assistant to the company, then the assistant signs a five year contract with me, then I bring him home. After five years, the assistant is free to do whatever they want."

Things seemed a bit complicated for Janet and Isla to understand. But Josh and David grasped quite the bit of this knowledge.

David then asked the important question, "how much did you pay then? And also, do you need to pay the assistant monthly too?"

Alex nodded. "I have to pay the guy monthly and also look after his basic necessities like food, shelter, and clothing."

Alex smartly avoided talking about the amount he paid for Linc since he didn\'t have any idea how much the number should be.

David took this as a hint that it was something not to be talked about and kept quiet.

Alex and Nix\'s parents were currently silent and pondered over the things Alex said. With the way he mentioned stuff, they find a lot of problems in this thing.

Problems such as possible exploitation of the assistant by an employer and so on.

Their silence was soon broken by approaching footsteps.

They turned their head to the hallway and saw Nix coming home.

Just at this moment, Linc came out of the kitchen too and said, "Ah, Mistress, you\'re here too."
