Chapter 68 68. Mary Sue

"Aha, Good morning to myself."

Alex woke up from his sleep, lazily stretching his body as he carefully made his way down from the bed, making sure his movements wouldn't wake the two sleeping women.

"These two look good, but they don't know when to be quiet," he muttered to himself as he looked at the women on his bed.

There was no need to doubt the charm of Rita and Amara, one being the heroine and the other a respected villainess in their respective plots. However, their constant talking was a problem, making it difficult for Alex to sleep last night. Despite this, he would still grant them a privilege and forgive their first transgression against morality.

He walked to the kitchen and started making coffee. Although he preferred tea, he needed more caffeine to deal with the day's challenges.

"What should I make for breakfast? Spicy omelet, scrambled eggs, avocado toast, or breakfast sandwich?" Alex thought to himself, taking advantage of his god-level cooking skills. He realized it would be a crime against humanity if he didn't use them to increase his favorability with the two women.

Alex remembered that he had to raid them to get rewards, which would help him survive in this crazy world. So, he opened the fridge and started checking the ingredients he had. Countless dishes and recipes came to mind, but he quickly eliminated those that required too much work, leaving only a few options.

Eventually, he decided to make a spicy breakfast sandwich and took out eggs and chilli flakes from the fridge. He then left the kitchen and opened the front door, where he found a pack of fresh bread and a carton of milk on his doorstep.

This is also one of the privileges of being the boyfriend of a wealthy woman. You don't have to work, as people will do things for you to make your life easier without asking for anything in return. They don't want to provoke you, as this would stop the huge donations from Alia's exotic group.

"My sister doesn't like spicy food, but Rita does, so I had to make my sister a sandwich first,"

Alex said to himself as he prepared all the necessary ingredients to make a spicy breakfast sandwich: bread, egg, spicy mayonnaise, and chilli flakes.

He wanted to make a well-balanced meal to start the day, but he didn't have all the ingredients and didn't want to waste his points on buying from the system, which was also risky because the system provides only the best quality products. With his god-level cooking skills, Alex was afraid that they would never be able to eat anything else but his cooking.

After preparing everything, Alex started cooking. He put the bread slices in the toaster and heated up oil in a pan. Once the oil started sizzling, he put in the egg and thoroughly fried it. As Amara didn't like half-cooked eggs, he just seasoned it with salt and little black pepper. By the time he was done, his toast was also ready.

Alex spread a mixture of normal mayonnaise and ketchup, which was Amara's favourite sandwich spread, put the fried egg on top, and added another slice of toast. He did the same for another sandwich, but used spicy mayonnaise instead, He then made the same for himself.

"This won't be enough, right?"

Alex thought to himself. Normally, it would be enough as his sister focuses on maintaining her figure and Rita, as a killer, never ate a full meal as it would interfere with her fighting abilities. But from his experiences with Rose and Grace, Alex knew that this would not be enough and there would be a threat of starting a food war, not the fun kind.

So, he started making more sandwiches. He wasn't worried about the food getting cold, as he had discovered that food made with god-level skills stays warm for a long time.

"Grrroooooaaarrrrr!!!"

Just as Alex was about to go to the bedroom to wake up Amara and Rita, he heard a low growl from a wild beast. It rooted him to the spot, and as he turned his neck mechanically toward the sound, he saw the beast that was worthy of such a soul-trembling growl.

....

"He really lives here? Wasn't he the boyfriend of Alia?"

Isabelle exited her luxury car and came downstairs to Alex's dormitory. She became confused as she rechecked the address received from her subordinate thinking that she made a mistake reading the address.

She thought that Alex being the boyfriend of Alia should be living in the apartment near his college, not in this dirty small dormitory room.

Suddenly she had quite a good impression of Alex, As she thought that Alex was not money hungry as the report suggested.After all, if he was money hungry he would never live here.

Well... Alex is offered by Alia and was able to live in the apartments near his college rather than his dormitory room but that means he had to give up on the privilege treatment he gets here being Alia's boyfriend. So he outright refused to change the place. This is the reason why he didn't change places to stay, not as said by Isabelle.

"Madam, let me handle him. Few punches and kicks will be enough to show that man his place."

As Isabelle wanted to enter the dormitory building, A black-masked figure of a woman appeared out of thin air in front of her, offering to do dirty work for Isabelle.

"No, He is still a child, White. Children make mistakes. I don't think he was the one who beat Nathan but it has to be the people of Alia protecting him. It's all a big misunderstanding. It will be fine if two parties apologise to each other."

Isabelle stopped the figure, Who was just about to run into the building.

As you can guess she is the mary sue type of woman, She believed in forgiveness then revenge, and whatnot, In her eyes everything is pure and all of people deserve a second chance

Normally this Mary Sue trope is one of the most hated tropes in any novel but here, She is the golden ticket for Alex to cut the wings off the protagonist, So there is a feeling that she will not receive as much hate as others, Given that Alex trains her well.

"But Madam, Did you not see the condition of the young master? Even if this is a misunderstanding, We have to make ourselves clear, Show our authority."

The masked figure didn't like the way Isabelle planned to handle the situation one bit. In her eyes, the young master of their family was brutally beaten to such an extent that he had to sit in a wheelchair.

If right now they don't show their fangs and authority to the people, Soon others will start to try to see their bottom line, Slowly destroying their families and overbearing nature and prestige in the upper-class society.

It would be a shame to let something like that happen to a century-old family. This family can't be destroyed by some ants ganging up on it but why give ants a chance to even think about attacking you in the first place? Just crush them at the first sign they show a sign of rebellion.

"Show authority? How? By beating a child? Alex is the same age as my son. Children make mistakes. Let me handle it, You can leave now."

Isabelle was adamant about not using force against Alex Although she had given a proper reason but the actual reason is that she didn't want to have a conflict with Alia.

Even if she is Mary Sue, She is still head of the big family like Gayler, Well proficient in the technique of holding the knife in a one's smile, If she wanted she can indeed stab you in the back figuratively and literally.

She wanted this opportunity to gain trust of Alia and might even pull her in their camp, If that plan failed, At least her doing this make sure that Alia will not stand opposite said of them.

But her well thought planning was not noticed by the hot-headed masked woman. In her eyes, this action of Isabella is an act of cowardliness, A shame to the family.

So she didn't say anything, She vanished out of thin air as she appeared in an instant.

"These stupid people never understand the power of politics."

Isabella muttered under her breath as she made her way toward the direction of Alex's room.

She was not that hopeless mary sue as there is uncharted evilness inside of her, It's not that she was not capable of evil but she chose not to be one if not needed, A true sign of power.

But unbeknownst to her, The person she was going to encounter someone who didn't care about anything like she does. Morals, logic, and humanity are just a tool in his eyes to get what he wants. A true villain. Who disguises himself as prey to hunt a predator.

(A/N : As said before, all focus on the protagonist and his mother.
