The ride was neither fast nor slow, it moved at a steady pace all the way to the city. After crossing the intersection, they continued toward their destination, which was in the mountains but still within the city limits.
The taxi driver drove to the entrance, where there was a large gate with security guards stationed.
"We've arrived, young man," the driver said to Alexander, glancing back.
"Thank you, uncle," Alexander replied with a smile, handing over 1,000 pesos for the ride.
The driver's face lit up upon seeing the money. The fare was only 312 pesos, so receiving such a generous tip made him quite happy.
"Thanks, young man," the driver said as Alexander stepped out of the car.
The taxi drove off, leaving Alexander standing outside the entrance. Two guards were stationed at the gate, and as he approached, one of them stopped him.
"Do you have an ID young man?" The security guard asked.
