Chapter 23 Daddy Bought A Car

In the afternoon, Alex headed to the kindergarten when it was time for dismissal.

“Alex, are you leaving?” Jonathan greeted Alex when he saw him downstairs.

“That’s right, I’ll be heading off to pick up my son after school,” Alex nodded.

“Alex, are you free later tonight? I’ll bring you out for a meal,” Jonathan offered excitedly.

He knew that Alex had given him the post as the security guard chief and was extremely grateful, so he hoped to invited Alex for a meal.

“Another day, maybe. Just work hard for now,” Alex patted Jonathan on the shoulder and walked towards

his RS7

“Don’t worry, Alex. I won’t disappoint!” Jonathan nodded vigorously. He would remember how Alex had helped him and be grateful to him for his entire life.

Alex nodded and drove off.

Jonathan was his closest friend back when he was just a security guard, so he would do his best to promote him.

At the kindergarten, Alex arrived before the class dismissed, so he headed to the convenience store to buy some cigarettes.

“Dunn, give me a packet of Carlboro cigarettes,” Alex told the owner of the convenience store.

The store owner was a thirty–five–year–old man named Flynn Dunn. He had a crew cut with a scar on his cheek and looked somewhat intimidating.

Flynn glanced at Alex and passed him a packet of five–milligram cigarettes.

“Pass me a three–milligram packet instead. Next time, you should stock up on one–milligram cigarettes as well,” Alex commented.

“I knew you weren’t an ordinary person. You’ve struck it rich, haven’t you? Well, I sure can’t afford to stock. one–milligram cigarettes,” Flynn smiled.

Carlboro cigarettes were sold for ten per packet for the five–milligram variety, twenty per packet for the three–milligram variety, and a hundred per packet for the one–milligram top–class variety. Usually, these would only be sold at Lumenopolis. A small city like Nebula City would not stock such high–grade products.

“Alright,” Alex nodded. He took the cigarettes, opened the box, passed Flynn one, and Flynn lit both cigarettes. Both of them had good chemistry.

After all, they had done this routine for four years.

Both of them had started off as storeowner and patron, but they were now close friends.
