"Have you seen Tokyo Drift?" "Oh, yes! I love that movie!" The young boy answered happily. Alex laughed. "Hahaha, that's good. Now tell me what's your total college tuition and the price of this car." "Huh? Uhh… What's with the sudden question, sir?" The boy asked. Alex looked at him and said with a smile, "I'll pay it for you." "Why?" The boy was stupefied and asked. "Why, you don't want me to?" Alex asked back. The boy smiled awkwardly. "I mean… who in their right mind would reject such…-

Alex had dinner with his and Nix's family once he was home. Everything was normal and there was nothing that Alex found on Nix. Once dinner was done, Alex and Melissa went on a light walk. "Do you know, walking after having food is quite beneficial for you?" Alex showed off some medical knowledge. "Hmm? Really? Why?" Melissa asked with a smile. Internally she was thinking, 'I made everything... yet I feel so happy to see them unfold these mysteries and tell it to me.' What Melissa was feeling was…

Bang! With the sound of a gunshot, the timer began. The lady immediately fired a round of shots at the moving target, all hits being close to the highest points available. Alex wasn't left behind in this either. His shots were precise and he had his body in a much better control than the lady beside him. Alex didn't feel too hurt by the recoil from the guns. The same wasn't the case for the lady whose hand was hurting by the constant recoils. She still showed great perseverance and didn't back…

With a kick to his sides, the lady made Jim crash onto the reception's desk. The three other guys trembled in fear as they saw this lady thrash their leader in just one kick. They didn't know who she was, and as a matter of fact, didn't want to know it either with her show of power. The lady walked close to Jim and looking down on him, said with visible seriousness, "watch your mouth. I am not your mother for you to say anything you want to me." She then turned her head up to look at the staff of…

Next morning. Alex dressed up in his training outfit and left after kissing the sleeping Melissa. He went in the backyard and did a bit of warmup. Once done, he gave a command to the system. 'Purchase hand-to-hand combat guide.' Information flooded inside Alex's mind regarding physical combat bit by bit. Alex took a deep breath and then positioned himself according to the stances present in the guide. The poses he had to do seemed like those of Mixed Martial Arts. Alex followed the guide and…

Alex flipped the burger patties and grilled them while Melissa and Nix conversed together. "So, how did you guys meet?" Nix asked while eating a cheeseburger. "Beesechurger," Melissa replied with her mouth stuffed with food. "What?" Nix didn't understand at all. Melissa gulped down all the food and taking a sip of cola, she continued, "Cheeseburger. It all started with a cheeseburger." "Cheeseburger? How?" Nix was really confused and stared at the burger in her hand. Even Alex was curious and…

"Aw, your sweet boy has really grown up, hasn't he Janet?" Nix's mother, Isla, said with a giggle as she saw how Alex had set up the grill so perfectly. "Oh, come on. It's just setting up some grill," Janet shook her hand and said. Isla giggled again and said, "Alright, alright. Come, us ladies should prepare the veggies while the men take up the grill." "Good idea. Mel, Nix, come help your mothers here," Janet called the two girls. Melissa and Nix nodded their heads and went to Janet and Isla to…

The two girls were happy to see each other in the mortal world. They hugged each other and were full of smiles. Breaking the hug, Melissa said, "it seems you made your move." Nix nodded her head. "I did. Though it still feels very weird to plot my own husband's demise. I feel like I am turning into a psychopath." Melissa chuckled. "Right? I am glad I get to be the observer and can stay away from all this." Nix squinted her eyes as she heard that. "You know, Mel sis, it's still very fishy and…

Austin, Texas. Alex and Melissa landed in Austin at around noon and were now in a cab, going home. "It makes me wonder, what's with the sudden rush home, honey?" Melissa asked, slurping on instant noodles she overpaid for in the airport. Alex, busy doing something on his phone, said, "security issues." Melissa understood from just two words what Alex meant. In fact, she understood the situation even more than Alex now. 'Fi-Chan must've made her move, causing husband to be alarmed. Hmm… it must…

As the cyan-haired lady laughed at her own comment, a voice rang in her ears. "Why are you laughing all by yourself, sweetie?" A six feet tall woman wearing a yellow sundress and white hat asked in a gentle tone while getting close to the lady with cyan-hair. "She must've seen something called 'memes', I think." A five feet six inches average height man walking beside her said in a know-it-all tone. The man was ripped and it could be seen despite him wearing a formal shirt and trousers. The…
