Alvin zoomed through the traffic. Others only saw a gust of red wind zoom past them, his speedometer was showing 240km/ hr, but he only kept accelerating. Luckily, his Lambo was modified with a super engine, helping it to keep up. If it was an average vehicle that had not undergone modifications, it would have given way under the first few seconds. Time seemed to pass faster than ever, making him even more anxious. “System, I need five wind talismans.”“Five system points.”“Deduct it!” The cost was the least of Alvin's problems at the moment, making it in time was. He was not just anxious because of the consequences that would come with failing the mission, he was more disturbed because of the lives of a hundred innocent school children and their teachers that would be lost if he failed. There were lots of things at stake, making blood pump at lightning speed in his brain. Just like when he rescued Leah, just like when he rescued Oliver, he was racing against time again. He had al

However, Alvin had forgotten the time he wished to see his soulmate. That slight moment of yearning made his soul connect to the target, causing his emotions to roll into Murong Wuque’s heart. “You had seemed afraid, and anxious, then you suddenly stopped trying, as if you had accepted death since there was no way out.” Alvin was immediately stunned. He had felt exactly like that. How could Murong Wuque be able to know and feel the things in his heart? It suddenly made him feel naked and exposed, as if someone had thrown the door of his bathroom wide open, exposing his embarrassing, dirty feelings to the world. Murong Wuque’s eyes softened and he caressed Alvin's cheek, still wearing an expressionless face. “Since you knew that you were going to do something difficult, why didn't you let me come with you?” Alvin looked away, knowing that he couldn't explain to him about the system. “The mission was meant to be carried out alone.” “Even though it was certain you wouldn't ma

Alvin was immediately taken aback. Mission successful? How come? Didn't the system cancel it because Murong Wuque interfered? “System? What's going on? I thought the mission remained on neutral grounds since you kept silent all along.” “The children are safely in their schools, being picked up by their parents. The mission is done.” “Even with Murong Wuque helping me?” “You would have died otherwise, and the system wouldn't have been able to help you, he was very much needed. Besides, for some reason, the system didn't flag his help as outside interference. The system doesn't seem to flag him as a second party to you.” “Does that mean I can take him along on other missions?” “That's uncertain. It still needs to be studied. If I can detect the reason he wasn't flagged as a stranger to you, I would be able to tell if it's alright for you to take him along.” “There's no need.” Alvin interrupted. “Even if it's alright to take him along, is he the type of person I can call up at w

Alvin pointed at the two women. “Both of you should attend to us.” The girl before them immediately frowned, her expression darkening. “I can understand you wanting Bianca to attend to you since she's equal to the task, but this smelly country bumpkin doesn't know her left from her right, and certainly doesn't have what it takes to serve people of your class. Getting an appointment in this establishment was a fluke…” “Enough!” Alvin snapped, releasing a bit of his aura. “That's exactly the reason I'm choosing her. She's a country bumpkin as you said and wouldn't know anything about whoring out herself to climb the societal ladder.” Her face went white, and she looked as if she was about to faint. Elena was thoroughly shocked. She didn't know that Alvin had the ability to say a crass word to anyone. “And one more thing, I'm also a country bumpkin. So I don't think I want to associate with self righteous, classy city folks like yourself.” He made his way forward and noticed

The next four days passed in a blur, with Alvin being especially busy. After making the purchases, he had known that the unhappy colleagues would make a move on the timid girl, making him send Elena to keep an eye on things. Alvin made a total purchase of cars worth four hundred and fifty million dollars. Even with the commission being five percent, the girl walked out with a cool amount of twenty two million, five hundred thousand dollars. The prideful aunty that refused to attend to him was filled with regret but there was no medicine for that. Like Alvin suspected, they had wanted to threaten her into giving them cuts, but with the timely intervention of Elena, she was able to cash out the entire amount, pay her mother's hospital bills and move to another country where she found a well paying job using her stellar recommendation. Of course, the director didn't want to let her go, but Elena ensured everything went smoothly using the shadow of empire group’s secretary. But knowi
