My Wives Are Too Overpowered-Chapter 95 Everything Happens For A Reason

Hearing his name being called out, Alex knew there was no ignoring it.

He smiled and waved while trying to hide any emotion he may be feeling.

The two parties walked close to each other and stopped. Before any of the two could speak, the younger lady among the two asked, "you know this guy, mom?"

The older lady, Lucielle, chuckled. "Didn't you tell me about how you saved a handsome guy a while ago? How you became his knight in shining armour and saved him from an accident?"

"Mom!" Marcelle's face flushed as she heard that. When did she say such things? She just told her mother that she saved a stupid guy who was using his phone while driving!

A flustered expression on the cold beauty's face sure looked nice, thought Alex. In any case, he had his things to do and couldn't waste time with these two cute Blesseds.

'Wait, two cute?' Alex became conscious of his thoughts.

It didn't last for long as his chain of thoughts were broken by Lucielle's giggles.

"Look at this cutie, becoming all flustered so suddenly," Lucielle pulled Marcelle's cheek.

"Hey!" Marcelle swatted her mother's hand away, her cold persona breaking completely.

Alex was starting to understand that it may probably be a fa?ade or probably her personality when she interacted with people she wasn't close with.

"Ahem," Alex did a light cough to grab the attention of Lucielle. "Miss Marcelle, Miss Lucielle, it's a pleasure to see you two. However, please excuse me, I have some work to do."

Not wanting to let her lover leave so easily, Lucielle chuckled and asked, "you have some work in the bank?"

Alex nodded his head lightly. In this whole neighborhood, there was just the bank, so it was obvious what business Alex was here for.

Lucielle chuckled again and said, "alright then, we'll leave you to your work."

She didn't speak further and dragged her daughter away, surprising Alex, who thought she would stir up some drama.

In any case, he had properties to purchase and quickly went to the bank, lest it was closed.

While Alex walked away, Marcelle shot a questioning gaze to her mother, wanting to know about why she said things that would make her lose face.

Lucielle, holding her daughter's hand while walking, massaged the back of it and didn't satisfy her queries. Instead, she took out her phone and called a certain person, giving them a few instructions and diverting her attention back to Marcelle.

"So, you wanted to know why I said that, right?"

Marcelle nodded her head.

Lucielle giggled and said, "I just want my daughter to be married. Didn't you see how handsome he was?"

"Mom!" Marcelle's face flushed. "Didn't we talk about not bringing this topic up?"

"Ho, ho, my girl, if you don't want him, I'll have him."

Marcelle rolled her eyes. "Do whatever. I don't wanna be married anytime soon."

Lucielle let out a playful giggle once again. "Fine. Just don't come crying to mommy later."

"Why would I do that?"

"Hehe…"

Lucielle didn't elaborate further.

…..

Alex reached the LCB building and on the help desk mentioned the property he was interested in buying.

The help desk lady gave Alex a token and asked him to contact the reception on the fifth floor.

He followed the instructions and then was guided to an office room where a man was sitting and working on his laptop.

Watching Alex enter, he said, "please have a seat."

Alex sat down and the guy then asked if he wanted tea or coffee, which Alex politely refused.

"Let's cut to the main topic. I am here to buy the property."

"Yes, I know, sir." The guy replied calmly.

He then leaned forward and said, "I am sure you would have the money to purchase it immediately as well. However, don't you think there's something weird going on?"

"Hmm?" Alex didn't understand.

The guy smiled. "I mean… this is a major property, right in the building of LCB's domestic headquarters. Don't you think it's a hot place?"

"…right?"

The guy then shook his head with a sigh. "Then, sir, don't you think it would've been sold instantly the moment it was up for sale? It's been more than a month and nobody has bought it yet."

Now this was something new, thought Alex. He hadn't thought about such things because this property was definitely expensive. Not to mention people that there were hardly any businesses that would want to get shadowed by this big bank.

Still, it shouldn't be up for a month.

"So you're saying…?" Alex asked the guy with an interested look.

The guy nodded. "That's right, sir. There is a problem. The 13th floor that is up for sale, it's being eyed by a few dangerous organizations. A status quo is established and no one's touched that floor yet. So…"

Alex frowned. A random thirty floor building was associated with trouble like this out of nowhere?

He was having second thoughts on buying this property now.

The guy could sense this and said hurriedly, "I understand that this is a troublesome matter, and due to this very reason…"

The guy took a pause to see Alex's reaction.

It was attentive and calm.

He smiled and continued, "…due to this very reason, there's some good news. If by any chance, you resolve the conflict, the property is yours. For free. We'll give it to you for free."

"What?" Alex was surprised.

"That's right, sir. Not only will you have the property for free, you'll also be personally thanked by our Director and the Founder."

Surprise surfaced Alex's face. Not because the rewards were too good, but because things seemed more suspicious than ever before.

If the Director and the Founder of such a major bank chain were personally going to thank him, then wasn't this issue too big?

This guy in front might be underestimating things, but Alex wasn't. This world wasn't the same Earth as the 20th century.

Things had changed far too much in the 21st century with Gods suddenly responding to the calls of all devotees.

Naturally, with blessings that made humans super humans, there came tons of problems.

If this property was in a dispute between organizations that contained Blesseds, Alex may be risking his life.

He was nowhere close to the levels of even the lowest of Blesseds. He could die easily from just one bullet, let alone the power of Blesseds.

Thus, Alex had to re-think… was it really worth it to risk his life for a mere few million dollars?

Noticing the silence, the guy cleared his throat and said, "sir, you're the only person to whom I've elaborated so much. The rest were simply shooed away with some excuses. Since I've said this much, I'll tell you a bit more."

Alex looked at him calmly. What more was there?

The guy pointed out, "if there's many organizations after this property, don't you think there's something special about this place? Also, it's even on the 13th floor, a number which is ominous as is. Not to mention, I've also heard rumors that…"

The guy gestured to Alex to lean closer.

Alex did.

The guy then whispered, "…one fine night, there were few employees overstaying due to work. The next day, they were all found dead in their respective cubicles."

Alex raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the guy with a dumbfounded gaze.

The guy continued to whisper, "this matter was suppressed by the company. Don't tell anyone about this, sir. And I advise you to stay clear of this property."

That's it. Alex made up his mind. This place was too troublesome.

He looked at the guy with a very neutral face, as if all of this didn't matter to him whatsoever, and said:

"Give me the list of the organizations, I'll solve the dispute."

"Yes, that's right. You should leave— what!?" The guy was dumbfounded.

He looked at Alex as if he didn't hear him properly and asked again, "…can you please repeat what you said?"

Even though this matter was seriously troublesome, it wasn't without reason that those people were fighting for this property.

What the treasure was, Alex would find out later.

Would it be of any use to him? Would it even benefit him? He didn't know.

One thing that he did know was that he believed in fate. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Everything that happenes… happens for a good reason, was the doctrine he followed.

It shouldn't be a coincidence for him to suddenly stumble upon this property.

Coincidences were super rare.

He may have been a normal doctor, but by no means had he slept on the affairs of this new world. He knew Gods were watching and he knew the so-called 'coincidences' were just Gods pulling some strings in the background to let people have conflicts.

He didn't know why was that the case and he also wasn't sure what the Gods got from it. But, one thing was for sure: take advantage of whatever things are being thrown at you.

Him regressing, getting another shot at life, meeting Goddesses who claimed to be his wives, searching for more wives, meeting the FBI Director, stumbling upon Lin, misunderstanding Lucielle…

All such things definitely weren't coincidences and there should be a reason for them.

Once was understandable but it has happened many times now.

Alex wasn't stupid to ignore them. He had a foreboding that something was definitely cooking up in the background. What it was, he didn't know.

In any case, looking at the shocked guy's face, Alex extended his hand out and said, "the papers, I need them. Give me the list of organizations involved."
