"Good morning, boss!" said the three in unison as Alexander exited his room.
"Good morning, you three! Let's go to the first floor to have our breakfast!" said Alexander with a smile.
Upon hearing him, the three looked among each other. A moment later, Oliver decided to say a thing to Alexander.
"Boss, we don't have any money so we can't buy anything below. Boss and your father already paid for our food so we can't afford to let you pay for us again," he said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing him, Alexander could not help but smacked his head. "You are already my subordinate so I am responsible for the well beings of you three!"
After hearing him, the three could not help but show a wonderful smile on their faces. They did not even try to reject Alexander's invitation anymore because they were able to see the sincerity in his eyes.
'I will never regret following this guy!" the two guys thought to themselves.
"I wonder if the boss has someone that he likes?" Sophia thought to himself. When Alexander glance at him for a second, she could not help but blush.
Alexander did not notice it so he decided to continue what he was saying. "Let's go below, now, shall we?"
"Thank you, boss!" said the three in unison.

After settling that, the four children immediately came down the first floor of the inn. The four of them ate whole-heartedly because their stomach was all hungry after sleeping the whole night.
After they finished, Alcatraz said to his son, "Son, let's go to THAT place, again."
Alexander nodded in response to his father. As he was standing up, the three kids that he just recruited stood up along with him.
Upon seeing them, Alexander said to the three, "You three don't need to accompany us. We will come back here after more than an hour so just wait for us, okay?"
The three looked among each other again. They were about to refuse his command but they saw their serious expression so they just agreed.
"Please return safely, boss and boss' father!"
"We will, you three. Just wait for us patiently here, okay?" said Alexander.
The three nodded in response so the father and son duo decided to go on their way to Samuel.

"Here you go! A pleasure to have a business with you!" said Samuel with a devious smile as he handed over Alexander's I.D. to Alcatraz.
"Father, I think we also need some I.D. for them!" said Alexander as he looked at his I.D.
Upon hearing his son, Alcatraz began thinking critically when he realized the situation. After hearing Alexander, Samuel could not help but wonder what is the situation of these people in front of him. Due to his shrewd personality, he decided to wait and see how the situation would develop.
After thinking for a while. Alcatraz was able to come up with a plan in his head. before saying those words, he took a long sigh. 'This is all for nothing! We can't afford to let someone like Samuel know our secret so we must do this to be sure!' he thought to himself.
A moment later, he said to Samuel, "Hey, Samuel. How about you come with me to my home. I'm willing to offer you a new place where you could continue your work for a long time!"
Samuel began to wonder upon hearing his old friend, Alcatraz. He could not help but ask, "Oh ho. What do you mean by that? Is it something profitable to me?"
"Yeah. You would be able to reach a new height of customers if you come with us," said Alcatraz.
Upon hearing Alcatraz, Samuel immediately ran over to the innermost part of his house. After a few minutes of waiting, he suddenly came out with a bag full of all his essential belongings.
"What are you two waiting for? Let's start our journey now!" said Samuel with a huge smile.
With that, the three immediately went on their way to the inn.

"Why are you with this mister, boss?" said William when Alexander and the others arrived.
Samuel was an infamous person in the slums so the three kids could not help but be scared of him. Alexander assured them so the three listened but their wariness of this man did not decrease even in the slightest.
After settling all that matter, Alexander and Alcatraz, along with their newfound comrades, decided to start their journey back to their hometown. Like before, they were able to reach their destination before the sun meets the horizon.
"Welcome home, dad, big brother!" said Zandra as she comes to his father's embraces.
"We are home, honey!" "We are home, Zandra!"
Upon hearing Zandra and the others, Hilda rushed to welcome both his son and husband. She was surprised when she saw Samuel and the three kids behind Alexander and Alcatraz.
"Welcome back, boys! Who are these guests of yours?" said Hilda with a smile.
Alcatraz stepped up and he decided to explain the whole situation to his wife without leaving a single detail out.
"Oh, I see. Well, welcome all of you! Come on in! Our house is small but still have two rooms for you. You two boys can take a room while the little lady there can sleep beside Zandra. And Mr. Samuel, you can take the remaining room," said Hilda with a smile.
"Thank you, boss' mother!" said the three children in unison.
"Oliver, William, and Sophia. Before we rest in our home, let's go to a place. We will get you three a system!" said Alexander with a wonderful smile on his face.
The three children's eyes suddenly sparkled upon hearing their boss.
"Really, boss?"
"We are going to get our system!?"
"This is a dream come true!"
Meanwhile, while the three could not help but believe Alexander, Samuel thought to himself, 'He's giving them a system? Don't tell me that-!?'
