The quest to find an assistant continued.
Though, the search beca indirect rather than direct. Alex wasn't actively seeking a person but if he found soone good, he would recruit them.
Currently, he was on his way to the local governnt departnt which rejected their company on the basis of money laundering. The issue needed to be resolved quickly otherwise making money would be a big hassle.
It took him an hour to reach this place as it was in Downtown, far away from the poor neighborhood Carl was in.
Getting out of the cab, Alex looked at the plaza the departnt was in. The place was just like any other governnt building, slightly run down and filled with people.
Alex made his way inside and there he saw people running around. It was a busy place.
Going to the reception, Alex said, "excuse , I'd like to make an appeal for my rejected application."
The receptionist, an old lady, gave Alex a token and asked him to sit down. When it would be his turn, he would be called.
And so, Alex waited.
Half an hour passed. No response.
An hour passed, still no response.
Two hours passed, yet no response again.
People around were doing fine though. Newcors would be called in the office in ten-fifteen minutes and would be done.
Alex was starting to get pissed. Yet, he didn't try to make a scene and waited patiently.
Another hour passed.
"Hi, I'd like to see the Registrar." A person in an expensive suit said.
The old lady gave him a look and said, "First cubicle to your left."
'FUCK THIS!' Alex lost his patience. He made his way towards the receptionist and said, "what the hell is wrong with you guys? I've been waiting for three hours."
The old lady, as if used to all such things, said, "sir, you must understand, governnt matters take ti. There's only one Registrar assigned and he's busy."
Alex's charisma didn't work in this place since this old lady was probably immune to it too.
"Oh? Is he?" Alex said and stord to the cubicle where the Registrar was.
Going there, he saw a fat man in suit laughing with the person who just asked the receptionist for directions.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Jas, your work will be done." The Registrar said.
Alex walked inside the cubicle giving no care to the governnt official and shut the door, so that nobody could listen to what was going on inside.
"Hey, sir, you cannot enter without perm— sir! Sir! SIR!"
Alex held the man's collar and said with a threatening gaze, "why the FUCK WAS I MADE TO WAIT THREE HOURS!?"
His ti was precious and right now it was almost the closing ti of the Registrar's office. He knew that these fuckers would ask him to co tomorrow if he waited any longer.
"Sir, this is an assault! Guards! Guards! Call the pol—"
Slap!
Alex gave no fucks to the man and slapped his face. He didn't use a lot of force despite being super angry since it could result in his death.
The person called Jas who was talking with the Registrar shivered in fear as he watched the scene.
Alex held the man in place and staring into his eyes, asked again, "I need my answer. Why was I made to wait."
"Shirr, dhis izh asshaul—"
Slap!
Alex handed out another slap to the man. "Speak what is asked of you. Make another useless comnt and you'll get a nice vacation in the hospital for the coming ten days."
The man trembled listening to that and so did the one called Jas.
For the first ti in his life had sothing like this happened to him. He had made many people wait before and Alex wasn't the first, but this ti it seems he had ssed up!
But who was he? He was the Registrar! An authority who approved of the leading startups of the world! How dare soone touch him!?
The fat man tried to contact the reception with his telephone but he was given another slap by Alex and thrown away onto his chair.
Alex took out his phone and threw it on the man's face, bruising it further. "Here, call the police. Let see if they'll arrive before you're disabled for life."
The man's body tensed up and he looked at Alex with fearful eyes.
The person called Jas didn't dare to leave his spot as he watched this scene unfold. He was too afraid to even make any monts, let alone use his phone to call the police.
"S-Sir… there m-m-may have been a m-mis-ss-understanding…"
"Oh? What misunderstanding? I'd like to know what misunderstanding there would be that would have wait for three hours and so random person gets a eting in just a minute."
The fat man clenched his cheeks in panic. He had ssed up this ti!
Previously, whenever he saw soone co to open up a startup, he would have them wait and run around places so that they would get tired of things. With this, he would co as their savior by stating they just needed to pay so fees and their work would be done easily.
He was scamming people for bribes and it had been working for quite a long ti.
This ti however, he didn't understand what went wrong and who this young man was who had the balls to slap him in his own office!
The man didn't want the cops to be called and he was just threatening Alex so that he left him. Assault was a big matter and could one be jailed for quite so ti.
Alex had co in a cab and the man had seen it in the security caras which had a connection to his office computer.
He used it to spy on people and see who was rich and who wasn't. This way, he could have an easier way of collecting bribes.
Alex had co in a cab and he guessed that this young man might be a poor entrepreneur who wanted to open a startup, hoping to make it big soday.
He decided to make Alex wait and run around so that he would instil so anxiety within him and make him tired of governnt work, due to which Alex would cough up so 'fees' to get things done faster.
But, but, but, everything backfired!
Never in his wildest imagination did he think this young man would do such a thing!
If the cops were called now, sure the young man would get charged for assault. However, if investigation was done even slightly, the cops would get to know that the Registrar was collecting bribes and this would be so big trouble!
The fat man, knowing he had fucked up big ti, decided to solve this situation peacefully and not let it escalate further.
He spread his hands out and said, "s-sir, we are s-sorry for the delay and understand that this may have caused you so trouble. B-but please un-d-derstand that it was not on purpose."
Alex looked at the man as if he was a fool and knew it was just excuses.
Alex threw the files he was holding on the man's face without giving a care to anything and said, "Solve the issue. If my company isn't registered by tomorrow morning, you'll pay the price. Not monetary value, but with your arms and legs."
Alex didn't bother to chat with the guy anymore. He took his phone and walked out. Before going, he stopped and looked at the man called Jas with a serious gaze.
"If that fatty calls the police and I am in even slight trouble, I'll co for your ass too. Be sure to keep things under wraps and make him do it as well."
Alex walked out after saying so.
Jas trembled again and wondered, 'what wrong did I do…'
He was involved in this ss for no reason! Not to ntion, he had to ensure this stupid fat man didn't call the authorities.
Jas had no plans on involving the police but the sa couldn't be said about this fat man. He looked at him with an angry look and said, "fucker, it's all because of you."
"E-excuse !?" The fat man was surprised to be called so rudely.
Jas slamd the table and said, "you made wait like that young man as well and took so much bribes. I knew such a day would eventually co for you and it did."
Jas was suffering from the sa fate as Alex. Unlike Alex though, he didn't have the balls to confront this guy. He was afraid that his application would never pass and he would never be able to start his company.
His company was a big success and he was now a multimillionaire. He had co here just to pay the remaining 'fees' the fat man had asked him of because he didn't want trouble of any sort to such a big company.
If there was any dirt or problem that would arise in the company, the stock price would fall and the losses were too much which Jas wasn't willing to risk.
"Fucking piece of shit," cussed Jas the first ti. He had been buttering this fatty up since the start but now there was no need. He had dirt on him.
Collecting the slip containing the big cheque, Jas got up and showed his middle finger to the fatty.
"Go fuck yourself, I am not paying anything to you ever again. If you dare to call the cops, I'm going to call my lawyers and have them sue you for malpractices."
Jas stord off too after saying so.
The fat man, sitting on his chair with bruises, thought to himself, 'just… just what went wrong so suddenly?'

A/N: In case so couldn't understand, in the last chapter, Aled was just fooling around with his wives. It was a joke, nothing serious or over the top. Don't take everything seriously or personally.
