“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?”

  • welcoming chaos

    It seemed as if Murong Wuque was determined to eat Alvin to bankruptcy, and the others were either playing along or tagging along. Soon Shi Wei stopped eating and gasped out, collapsing back against his chair, Shi Qian Ling soon followed. Alvin was already feeling bloated, but each time his eyes met Murong Wuque’s and saw the teasing, wicked smirk, his anger would flare up, he would continue eating, as if trying to prove a point. Qin Li soon slowed, gasping and wheezing. After a while, he sighed and patted his belly. He stood up and staggered to the nearest sofa. “It's so hot in here…” He muttered, fanning his face with his fingers. “Ah? Ho… hot?” Amanda stammered, wondering if she heard him right. She rushed to the air conditioner and adjusted it till a cold air filled the room. Qin Li sighed in relief and sat cross legged, quickly trying to convert the excess food to energy. Alvin looked at Murong Wuque from the tail of his eyes, and saw him still eating and drinking

  • Being petty

    Murong Wuque was sitting at the head of the table where the master of the house was meant to sit, his fingers flexed elegantly on the dining table as he waited for Martha to serve him. Martha's hand shook in fear. Just being around Murong Wuque made her feel cold down to the pits of her stomach; even to her bones. He always had this aura of frost and danger around him, despite his angelic beauty and fragile stature which made him look like a pretty girl. “Hmmph!”Murong Wuque's eyes went to Amanda who had made the sound. She immediately shrank back, and hid behind Elena. Elena smiled and stepped forward. “Young master, there are lots of dishes to choose from, let me serve you.”She collected the crystal wine flask from the shaky Martha and poured him some wine. “We have wine, fruit juice from the special fruits young master brought back, mixed with our indigenous pineapple. There are ten dishes in total. And the first course is this: Coq a Vin; chicken and mushroom soup cooked i

  • Irks me off

    “Oh? Is it the silver haired girl? I saw him checking out appliances. He's going around the house, giving himself a tour and messing with everything in sight to figure out how they work. Let's just pray he doesn't spoil Leah's laptop. I saw him fiddling with it before he disappeared.” Amanda cut in with a vicious expression on her face. She was normally the easygoing type, but something about Murong Wuque ticked her off and made her automatically jealous of him. “Tch! He's just like a three year old on a trip to wonderland. Wimpy sissy.” Alvin looked at him derisively from head to toe. “I never knew you were good at bad mouthing others. Wimpy sissy? That wimp can destroy the whole of Ameria with a snap of his fingers. Just let him catch you calling him a girl, you will know what it means to wish for death, and that living could be more painful than dying.” Amanda sneered, dismissing Alvin's criticism. “He can't understand English anyway, he came from under a rock. Who will t

  • 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
