Chapter 89 Nutrition

Upon arriving at Xavier's humble abode, they were surprised by what they found.

Xavier's mother and Connor's sisters were all cosy and asleep, huddled together, and they seemed to be growing closer by the day.

It wasn't even that late, but seeing how deeply they were asleep, they must have been sleeping for a while.

And just as Connor was about to wake them up, since they were sleeping in Xavier's space and there didn't seem to be anywhere else in the small place that he could sleep in, Xavier stopped him.

"Just leave them be and let's go to your place. You can come back and get them in the morning."

Connor agreed and didn't have an issue with it as long as Xavier didn't, as they quietly started to creep back out, before asking, "Where are you going to go in the morning?"

"Just to get things started. I can't just sit around and let you and the others do all the work," he responded before challenging Connor to a race.

And despite the size difference and how much they had trained all day, Connor accepted as the two of them rushed over to his place faster than a taxi could have ever driven them.

The giant man and younger accomplice had frightened quite a few people who were out and about late at night, but they were gone before most could even react.

And upon reaching Connor's home, it didn't take long for the two of them to fall asleep, struggling to find the energy to do anything else.

Waking up early in the morning despite sleeping quite late and needing a lot of rest, Xavier acted as if he was at home and headed to the kitchen to raid Connor's fridge.

And as soon as he opened it, he was surprised by what he saw, but at the same time expected as much in the back of his mind.

The fridge appeared to be split into two parts, with the top belonging to the larger older brother, Connor, and the bottom belonging to his little sisters, the triplets.

And at the top of the fridge was all the affordable protein sources that Xavier could think of.

There were eggs, all sorts of beans and lentils, as well as a lot of dairy products and calorie-dense foods, but considering his size and muscle mass, it was to be expected that Connor would eat like that.

"Don't look too surprised. I was studying to become a nutritionist while playing college American Football, so I know how to feed myself," Connor groaned while yawning and walking over to Xavier.

He was shirtless and getting to see his bare body was even more impressive, to the point that Xavier couldn't help but stare in awe.

Watching all his muscle fibres twitch and how lean his frame was despite his size, Xavier was struggling to believe that such a physique was natural.

If he wanted to, competing in bodybuilding competitions would be a breeze and he didn't even seem to lift heavy weights, with his frame being a gift from god.

"Your eyes are gonna fall out at that rate," Connor joked as he waddled over, still dazed from just waking up.

Xavier scratched his head and laughed it off before asking, "Could you help me put on more muscle?"

Hearing Xavier's request, unlike what he had been expecting, Connor was very eager to help, and it seemed that nutrition really was a passion of his.

"Of course! I've always wanted to help someone with a diet plan. We'll get started now. Go shower, I'll make breakfast," Connor responded before grabbing eggs and a bunch of other things from the fridge.

Xavier thanked him in advance and considering that they hadn't met that long ago and their meeting was quite the weird one, they had grown very close and comfortable with each other at an alarming rate.

Smelling his armpits, Xavier was hit with a potent smelly odour after how hard he had trained yesterday and realised he didn't have a change of clothes.

"You got any smaller clothes that might fit me?"

"Um... Probably not, but feel free to take whatever you want from my wardrobe."

"Really?"

"Yeah, why not? Just don't make a mess. My sisters are clean freaks."

"Thanks, and sorry for waking you up so early," Xavier said, sure that Connor would still be sleeping if he hadn't made noise after waking up.

"No worries. I can't keep getting shown up, can I?"

And with that, Xavier found the smallest clothes in Connor's wardrobe that were still a baggy fit for him, before showering and changing into the fresh set of clothes.

Leaving his damp curly brown hair to slump onto his face as he got out of the shower, Xavier joined Connor, who was surprisingly good at cooking and had whipped up a meal in a matter of minutes.

And the entire time Xavier had been eating, Connor continued to give him more food and was impressed by the appetite of his young boss, while Xavier had surprised himself with how much he could eat.

'This must be the lasting effects of Rapid Recovery and I guess I have been training a lot, so it's only natural that I'm hungry,' Xavier thought to himself as he leaned back in his chair.

His stomach had protruded slightly after how much he had eaten, but his well-trained abdominal muscles were still apparent.

And Xavier hadn't weighed himself in a while, but he felt as though he had gotten slightly more muscular.

Despite that, his speed hadn't suffered in the slightest in the process.

In fact, it was quite the opposite.

Everything about him just continued to improve, and it was all thanks to the system that would be quiet unless he called for it or it gave him another mission.

And just looking at Connor, who had improved by leaps and bounds both physically and mentally, and thinking about how much the others had progressed, Xavier couldn't help but wonder what the limits to the system's abilities were...
