'A lot of work!'
'A LOT. OF. WORK!'
Sitting at his study in his bedroom, Alex yelled internally as he went through the amount of work he had to do in this coming month.
Not only did he have a company to start, he also had to work hard to cultivate, then make plans to save his childhood friend Hazel, get the hospital running, see after the patients, go on dates with all his wives every single day, and most importantly, look after the one month thing with Lucielle and close the deal of the thirteenth floor.
There was just so much to do, Alex didn't even know where to start.
Since such was the case, he decided to write everything down first and make a priority list. This was something he used to do back in med school whenever things got hectic.
People took priority over starting a company, but money was needed to keep the people happy.
This was a vicious loop and Alex had to figure out a way to break free from it.
First things first, the company didn't have him alone. Samuel and Carl were helping manage it.
Carl was fine by now and his health had improved. Samuel was free, he could work full-time.
Alex immediately prepared a list of things for these guys and then went onto the next thing.
Hazel had to be saved quickly. His life was at the top of the priority.
Others wouldn't die and neither would the company be going anywhere, but Hazel would.
The longer Alex delayed, the worse would be Hazel's condition.
Alex kept the topic of Hazel at the end since it was the most important one. He focused on the other ones after that.
Hospital would be up and running once he had staff. He had to see patients too because of his Healer class. The more patients he treated and honed his skill, the more perks his class would eventually give him.
To find staff, he'll have to contact some agencies, which can easily be done as long as he had money.
That was the thing, he didn't have too much money on hand right now. Roughly five million dollars were in his bank account as the rest was used up for buying potions.

Coins can be accumulated by scamming other Blesseds or killing them. The other way was to raid dungeons or do trade.
It was tough and the progress would be slowed down considerably due to it.
Alex had to do something about gathering information and this got added to the list of things he had to do.
As for the dates with wives, they won't consume much of his time even if he were to spend two to three hours a day with them and the whole night. So, things were fine in that regard.
However, he needed to have a bigger house to keep them all together so there was that.
Finally, it was about Lucielle and then Nicole.
Alex felt he had to make things really clear with them and see what their reactions were. He could then simply decide what to do from there on.
Having done with all the things, Alex once again came back to the topic of Hazel.
Alex didn't remember every little detail from his past life, he merely remembered a few big ones. Regression had not helped him much and for everything, he was on his own.
There were some significant scientific breakthroughs in his past life, but he didn't remember the articles and getting his memory sharpened via cultivation would consume a lot of time.
So, what should he do?
Alex thought about everything for a solid ten minutes and eventually, sighed and muttered softly,
"It's Hazel. If I care about him this much even after so many years, he too would be in the same position."
Alex, Samuel, Hazel, Jagan, and Volkov… these five guys were the best of friends.
Alex was a quiet kid when in school and didn't open up much. Samuel and Jagan were happy kids while Volkov was an introvert and Hazel was somewhere in the middle of those three.
Despite having such peculiarities, they shared a solid bond together.
Samuel and Jagan were big extroverts and would drag the rest of the guys together to the park, cinemas, parties, and so on.
Despite being short, Samuel could score a lot of girls while despite being handsome, Alex and Hazel were forever single.
Volkov had a girlfriend and was pretty happy with her while Jagan was a dude whose girlfriends would be really dissatisfied and leave him.
It was because Jagan didn't blend in with the western culture. He didn't kiss his girlfriends, he didn't do naughty things with them during proms, he didn't even share spicy pics or asked for them.
All he did was treat the girls right, loved and cared for them. But well, due to the lack of physical intimacy, no one stayed with him.
Poor guy used to cry for weeks knowing he put so much effort into the relationship but nobody reciprocated it.
It was then that his redemption arc began.
Jagan didn't become a bad boy, he simply joined Alex and Hazel in the gym.
The trio became gym freaks and were the only ones that had toned abs by the end of middle school. They also peaked in high school and were the crush of every girl, be it junior, senior, or someone of the same batch.
Samuel and Volkov, although didn't get such ladies to crush on them, were still pretty famous.
The girls made friends with them to get closer to Alex, Hazel, and Jagan. But what they were met with was rejection.
Alex and Hazel were uninterested in girls. They seemed cold, but that thing felt sexy to half the girls that had a crush on them.
Jagan was done with dating and politely rejected everybody. His politeness turned out to be problematic as some girl couldn't accept the fact that she got rejected. She forced herself on him, and if it weren't for Volkov's girlfriend being there, what would've happened to Jagan was something only god knew.
Volkov's girlfriend was a strong woman. She was petite, tall, and someone not to be trifled with.
There was this one time when the guys were arm wrestling and Volkov came to the scene with his girlfriend. As a joke, Samuel invited her for arm wrestling and got his ass whooped in just a second.
Everybody was surprised by this. This Mexican may be short, but in no way was he weak.
It was then that Volkov himself went and got clapped too. The same was the case with Jagan, Hazel, and Alex. Though, the last three were able to put up a solid fight against her due to hitting the gym.
Times were fun and Volkov's girlfriend became a part of the circle too.
Samuel never had a stable relationship with any girl for more than three months and there was no other girl that joined. It was also evident what path this guy was going to walk onto in terms of having relationships.
Natasha, Volkov's girlfriend, wasn't seen after high school when the group got separated.
Actually, not just her, nobody else met each other after high school and it was as if they weren't even friends anymore. If it weren't for the warm memories Alex shared with them, he wouldn't even remember their existences.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex was sure everybody wanted to meet each other, but couldn't due to circumstances.
In his past life, Jagan was bound to succeed the most among the rest. He was in India and became the strongest Blessed of India and ranked in the top 5 in the whole Asian Continent.
Though, for such a thing to happen, it'll take at least ten more years from now.
Volkov and Natasha's path were not known and Samuel was chilling in his Miami mansion that was filled with thots.
That was in the past, at least now, Alex could somehow keep them all from going astray and not let the group disband.
At this point, Natasha should be somewhere in the Middle East or a North African country.
As for Volkov, Alex didn't know anything and would need to ask Natasha after finding her.
Jagan should be powering up in India and it was best to contact him as soon as possible otherwise his status was going to rise so much, there was no way to see him.
Speaking of contacting, Alex suddenly had an epiphany.
"What if…" Alex stared outside the window.
Meeting Hazel might not be as challenging as Alex thought.
He immediately got out of his seat and made a run to get his phone.
Then, he ran downstairs and hurried to the garage.
The wives in the house were surprised by him rushing somewhere. Before they could even ask though, their husband had taken the Mercedes and sped off from the house.
While driving, Alex made a conference call to three people.
As the call got connected, without wasting time and letting the others speak, he said, "Sam, use the company card I gave you and book us both a ticket to Madurai, India. Make sure the flight is within the coming six hours and after three hours from now."
"What's up—"
"I'll explain on the way, for now, make haste. Also, get Carl on board too and notify his college of his absence. Tell them you're his guardian and there's some urgent work." Alex said hurriedly.
"Damn." Samuel exclaimed, but then cut the call and got to work immediately.
As he was gone, Alex heard, "What's with the rush, lover boy?"
"Lucielle, Nicole, you guys, I want to see you two immediately. Rush to the warehouse whose address I'm sending you. I'll explain everything there."
Alex said just this and then cut the call, giving them no room to argue on this. Then, he sent them the address and rushed to his industrial complex property.
