NEW FEATURE

Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head.

"What do you mean by 'you allow me to be the first to see the suit because of how I look'? This driver saw the same thing you did and belittled me, but you did the complete opposite. Why?" Alexander asked.

"Like I said earlier, one should never judge a book by its cover, sir. Mr. Gustav explicitly taught all his workers that lesson, but to answer your question, seeing you reminded me a lot of the client Mr. Gustav made the outfit for", Laura said.

Alexander pointed at his chest, surprised to hear what Laura had just told him.

"I do?" He asked

She nodded.

"That's right. According to Mr. Gustav, when he and the client first met, he looked like someone everyone would overlook, not knowing how important he was, and what's funny is that after him, Mr. Gustav met another valuable client who gave him the same aura. Those two made Mr. Gustav to understand that you really can't judge a book by its cover and when I saw you, I felt the same thing. Turns out I was right in listening to Mr. Gustav's teaching" she said, then glanced at the driver who could benefit from getting taught the same lesson as her and the rest of her coworkers.

Alexander scratched the back of his head bashfully as he was pleased to hear what she had just said.

"If that's all you want to know, then please excuse me, sir. Let me get these things packaged for you", Laura said, and Alexander gestured that she should carry on.

Laura went ahead to take the suit and everything else off the wardrobe and then placed them nicely into a box with the store's logo on top of the lid.

"If you would please follow me to the register, sir, I'd like to give you your receipt," Laura said, then started leaving the premises to return to where they met her.

Alexander looked at the driver who was still dumbstruck by how wrong he was about him and he chuckled.

"Close your mouth or else a fly will go inside. Well, now that I think about it, there shouldn't be any flies in such a luxurious place, so keep it open for as long as you'd like", Alexander taunted.

The driver blinked rapidly, still unable to say anything back. All the yapping he had been doing was now making him look stupid when Alexander proved that he wasn't anyone to be messed with.

Now it was Alexander's turn to speak the way he wanted, and he wasn't going to hold back. After all, the driver didn't hold back when he thought less of Alexander, so he deserved everything coming his way.

With a wicked smirk, the young multimillionaire said "Don't worry. I know the bet was for you to lick my shoe clean when I won, but we're not done yet. We still have a wristwatch to buy, and I don't think my shoes are dirty enough. Let's see how dirty they become after our business together is done. Like I said, you better have brushed your tongue properly because I'm expecting a good shine when you're done."

Alexander chuckled and then started following Laura, who had covered some distance, and they returned to the register.

In time, the driver met up with them. He was utterly defeated and all the confidence and pride he had before had left him.

"Here's your receipt, and your package, sir," Laura said as she handed over both things to Alexander.

"Thank you" Alexander replied, taking them from her.

She cleared her throat and said "I've already called the jewelry shop and informed the manager of your arrival. I'm sure they will withhold no effort to give you a warm welcome."

"I appreciate" Alexander replied, his charisma making her smile.

"It's my pleasure, sir. Have a safe drive" Laura said, bowing her head in respect.

Alexander too showed his respect with a head nod, then he and the driver left the Gustav Emporium and returned to the car.

Just as they got close enough to the car, the driver rushed to the backseat door and opened the door for Alexander, saying "Let me get that for you, sir"

Alexander paused, looking at the man who wore the biggest and most awkward smile ever, and asked "What are you doing?"

The driver chuckled.

"Oh, well, I'm treating Mr. Alexander liked how he should be treated. I mean, it's not every day a humble Uber driver like myself comes in contact with someone so rich and important."

Alexander looked at the man from head to toe.

Clearly, he didn't expect the young multimillionaire to believe his sudden change of character. After all he'd done, he didn't think that Alexander would forget or forgive, did he?

Just as Alexander sneered at the pitiful driver, a message from the system popped up in front of his vision.

[The God of Possessions has added a new feature to the system]

Alexander furrowed his eyebrows as he stared at the message.

Seeing the strange look that Alexander was giving, the driver flicked his eyes left and right, then looked at Alexander and asked "Umm, Mr. Alexander. What are you looking at?"

Alexander frowned at him.

"Nothing. I'm not looking at anything, so mind your business" he said, then turned his back to the driver.

'New feature? What new feature is that?' In his head, Alexander asked the system.

[After observing Mr. Alexander Curry's current situation with the entity he calls the Uber driver, the God of Possession, has added a new feature to the system called the Clause feature]

Alexander grunted and thought 'The clause feature? Do you mean "Clause" in a contract agreement?'

[That is right. With this new clause feature, once Mr. Alexander Curry and another entity came into agreement on whatever topic then Mr. Alexander Curry is granted a free slot to take whatever belongs to that entity if they try to go back on their part of the deal or break the agreement]

[The free slot can only be used on the entity that tries to breach the deal]

After he was done reading, Alexander's eyes widened.

'So you're telling me that if this driver tries to falter on carrying out his part of the deal, then I'm able to take anything of his that I want.'

[That is correct, Mr. Alexander Curry]

Suddenly, Alexander grinned from ear to ear.

"That sounds like a wonderful feature indeed," Alexander said, and the message disappeared.

"Umm, Mr. Alexander. Who and what are you talking to?" The driver asked, looking for who Alexander was talking to but there was no one there.

Alexander turned and faced him. The grin he had before had vanished, and he continued sneering at the driver.

"What did I tell you about asking me any personal questions?" Alexander asked.

"Umm…" The driver gulped and continued "You told me not to"

"Then mind your business. Also, in case of next time, don't try and open the car door or any other doors for me again. Just keep acting like the arrogant asshole you've been when you thought I was an ordinary person with nothing to benefit from. No matter what you do, I'm not going to let you off the hook. After all, you're the one who brought the deal, thinking I would fail, but I won, so now you'll have to take care of your part of the deal", Alexander said.

He grabbed the door handle and then pulled it from the driver, who had his hand on the top car door frame.

Alexander dropped the package on the backseat, then entered the car and sat next to it.

He looked at the driver and said "Time is running out, and I have an important place to be, so get in and take me to the location of the jewelry shop. You heard the name of the place when Laura said it, so it should be easy to get to"

The driver, who was only pretending to be nice, but had failed, grumbled and frowned at Alexander.

He couldn't hide his true nature for long, especially after Alexander shut him down the way he just did.

The driver went into the driver's seat and drove them to the jewelry shop.
