“If I'm fake, why are you still alive now?” The system bit back, almost as if it could feel emotions.

“Bring out the master card.” Alvin instructed, not minding the system’s bickering at all. He was in a very good mood, none of his previous sourness could be seen on his face. Money truly answereth all things.

He heard a low buzzing sound in his head and a black card appeared in his hand. His name and QR code was printed in gold on the card. He gasped, his eyes burning with excitement.

“Isn't this the rumored vvip black card that less than one percent of the world’s population has access to?”

“Of course. Your current account balance can only be fit for such a card. In the future, more money will roll in as long as you complete your missions successfully. Your card might even be upgraded to a supreme card. This time, you were compensated with ten times the amount you spent to get the bike here and other things. You even got a coupon. You only need to walk into any real estate company of your choice, select a preferred villa and the system will pay for it.”

Alvin was giddy with excitement. He had never seen so much money in his life. He had been very depressed when all the companies he applied to refused to hire him, despite the fact he had a first class and graduated top of his class. Not counting the fact that he interned at the Carter group thanks to grandpa.

He was meant to be retained in the group in readiness for when the old man will name him the heir. But he was met with numerous opposition from all sides. Sonya even threatened him with suicide. No one wanted the old man to name his beloved useless son in-law the heir when there were numerous blood relations eagerly waiting to take their own chunk of the inheritance, despite the fact that Alvin’s performance was stellar during the internship. Not even his performance could prevent him from being attacked at all corners.

However, he now had more money than he imagined. As long as he continues to complete missions, there will be no need for a 9-5 job, and he will soon be wealthier than both the Carter and Coleman family combined.

‘Sonya Carter, Fred Coleman, you both wait for me. I will destroy everything you hold dear and ruin your family, I will show you that living is more painful than dying.’

“Are you alright?” Leah asked hesitantly on seeing the twisted expression on his face.

She had been observing him, noticing a plethora of emotions on his face, almost as if he was conversing with an invisible being. She had watched his ears to see if he was wearing a bluetooth earbud, but he was not, making her incredibly confused and afraid. The young man who rescued her wasn't crazy, was he?

Alvin finally noticed her and smiled.

“I'm fine. It's almost dawn, let's go eat and find a change of clean clothes.”

****

Alvin didn't notice how far the distance from the roof to the ground floor was while climbing up, but he sure did as he went down. This was because the adrenaline pushing him on had disappeared.

He saw the motorcycle there and decided to park it properly, out of the way. Otherwise, the neighborhood security might confiscate it.

“Sir, there is no transport available in this area till seven in the morning. How do we leave?”

“My name is Alvin, don't call me sir. Our age difference isn't that much. There's a shopping mall two streets away, we will just stop there.”

Leah was immediately dumbfounded.

“Ah? Starlight mall is the biggest shopping center specializing in luxury items. The cheapest clothes there are sold for at least $1000. Let's wait at the park for the transport companies to resume. Then we can go to cheaper malls, or the market.” She muttered, quickly trying to talk him out of it.

During her good days, she could buy any luxury product she liked. But nowadays, she was as broke as a church mouse. Besides, the staff there fully recognized her. She didn't need more insults to reopen her wounds, so she hesitated a lot, not wanting to go.

Alvin smiled and patted her hair.

“Don't worry. Big brother has promised to take you out to buy something nice. I will definitely fulfill my promise. Let's go buy clothes and eat breakfast. Leave the bills for big brother.” He boasted with his chest puffed out, feeling quite proud of himself.

In ten minutes, they arrived at the mall and entered. The security were still having their morning coffee since people normally don't visit so early in the morning, except for those who messed up their clothes after going to the bar. Alvin caught sight of his reflection on the glass door, making his step halt for a while. He looked dirty and muddy with some parts of his shirt torn off. Blood matted some parts of his body, making for an awful sight.

He shrugged and continued on his way to the clothing section. He would just change into something better once inside.

“Hey! Stop right there! What's a smelly beggar doing in the esteemed Starlight mall? Who let you in? What was the security doing? How did you creep past the entrance?” An angry looking sales attendant roared, blocking them with a scowl on her face and her arm outstretched.

Alvin frowned and stopped for a while.

“Is that how you treat your customers? What do you mean by beggars?”

The girl laughed loudly, alongside the other attendant who came closer due to the commotion.

“Is your lowly self qualified to be our customer? Open your dog eyes wide and see; this is Starlight mall, a place meant for the rich and the powerful, not smelly paupers like you. How dare you dirty our eyes by coming here? Do you seriously expect people of our class to attend to lowly things like you?” She asked in an exaggerated tone.

“New mission alert!” The system suddenly announced, accompanied by the blare of alarm which went off in Alvin’s mind, distracting him from the argument.

“Ah? Another mission? Didn't I just finish the first one a while ago?”

  • Already defeated

    Martha looked at Alvin who was sprawled on the floor in a corner of the downstairs sitting room where everyone was waiting. Sam had cleaned out the debris from the destroyed sofa and remnants from the little cat fight, leaving everywhere sparkling clean, after calling the furniture company for new ones of course. Shi Wei, Shi Qian Ling and Shi Yue were sitting cross legged, trying to see if they could gather some energy. Qin Li sat on one of the sofas, watching quietly, his eyes vigilant, as if he found himself transmigrated into an alien planet. His sword never left his side. Martha sighed as she looked at the exhausted Alvin. It must not have been easy for him with the silver haired devil making his life hell. “Boss, dinner is ready. We're setting the table now.”Alvin sighed for the hundredth time that night. “Did you make more chicken? There should be more than enough food. He's determined to find faults with me, but I don't want to give him that satisfaction. Make sure that e

  • EVIL GUEST RUINING THE HOST

    “System, are you there?” Alvin asked in panic, swallowing nervously as Murong Wuque's breath fell on his neck. “Yes.” “Come up with ways to kick him out immediately.” “Isn't that wicked? That's kicking your benefactor in the balls. He was the one that used a god ranked alchemy pill to revive you and siphoned some of his energy into your body. Otherwise, why do you think you're already awake jumping up and down within a mere hour?” “Jeez! I'm done for. Why did he follow me in the first place? And you, you didn't notice there were two people with us in the spacecraft all through the journey.” “It was conditioned that way for a reason. It was my negligence. Master, I apologize.” “Your apology is useless at this point. He's looking at me as if he wants to devour me. Damn! Of all the possibilities, why will he be there at that particular time, and even get sucked in with us? Ah!” “I don't know. That's destiny, maybe. Didn't the stone of prophecy tell you before? You have a strong f

  • I want your life

    Qin Li quickly stepped forward, cold sweat on his face. “First brother, please calm down. He only raided the poison miasma because his brother was dying and needed the drug.” He said, going to stand before Alvin. Murong Wuque's eyes narrowed and his face turned to frost. “Qin Li, even you too. You betrayed me. I, your brother.” He whispered in a low voice filled with hurt and disbelief. A huge lump formed on Qin Li's throat, making it hard for him to breathe. He immediately looked away, his heart pounding in trepidation. “You're not even trying to deny it! Qin Li how dare you? How bold! You actually helped an outsider steal from our sect and made me endure the shame of climbing the sinners’ Pavillion, being stripped naked before the disciples, enduring two hundred strokes of demon dragon vine laced with soul eating poison. Nice one. Someone I just met betrayed me, and my brother actually joined him. Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you where you stand!” Murong Wuque's bo

  • Fighting with destiny

    Alvin stirred on his bed, totally exhausted. The bed felt too soft and strange to his body which had gotten used to hard surfaces in the past few days. But the new environment felt instinctively familiar, making him relax lazily. “System, where is this place?” “You're back in villa number seven.” Alvin smiled in relief and opened his eyes. He immediately pressed the summoning bell on his bedside to call in Amanda or Tiffany. But almost immediately, his eyes caught sight of a silver haired bastard leaning lazily against the wall while watching him. His eyes widened and he pointed at him as if he just saw a ghost. “You…you…you. What are you doing here? It was not a dream? You bastard! Do you know what I lost because of you?” Alvin shrieked, his voice high like a shrew, lacking all of the legendary composure Alvin was known for. He immediately hurled a pillow at Murong Wuque, but he effortlessly avoided it. “You bastard! Wait for me!” Alvin snarled, bouncing off the bed. “

  • Who are they?

    Murong Wuque tried to push open the door, but it wouldn't budge, making him frown. He adjusted Alvin in his arms to kick it open. “No! The door is computerized and very expensive. You will damage the house if you kick it open.” Amanda screamed, her hand stretched out to stop him. But it was too late, his foot was already in motion. A few centimeters from connecting to the door, the door suddenly slid open on its own, making him lose his balance and stagger with Alvin in his arms. Coincidentally, while he was adjusting Alvin, his face inadvertently caught the facial recognition lens, and it opened on its own. “Welcome home, master. It has been seventeen days since your last visit.” A robotic voice said, making Murong Wuque who was already in the room turn around in shock. He couldn't find the speaker, making him frown. “What's that voice? I also heard something similar while in that black space.” Alvin's breath became labored at that moment, momentarily distracting him from

  • A BEAUTIFUL MAN

    “First brother, be careful. Restrain your aura. They're mortals with the weakest constitutions I have ever seen. You might kill someone inadvertently by raising your voice.” Qin Li whispered urgently, snapping Murong Wuque back to reality. He quickly suppressed his aura and took a deep breath, calming his anger. “First brother?” Elena whispered as it finally clicked in her mind. He was not a woman. He was a man, who was just too beautiful. And his aura looked noble. Her mind couldn't wrap around it. Where did they come from? How did they end up here? She quickly righted himself on her knees and bowed before him. “I apologize, young master. Please forgive me.” Amanda's eyes widened in shock as she watched Elena. Although they couldn't understand what was being said, they could see Elena kneeling down. “That bitch! She arrived today, yet she's already creating drama as if she's the boss. Wait till I get my hands on her.” She snapped angrily and stomped forward to give Murong
