Alvin's heart ached as he watched the sheer amount of groceries wasted on the floor. Even if he currently had money, he had been someone used to being broke, so waste of any kind was not acceptable to him. He sighed deeply and turned to Martha.

“Do you guys have the card I gave Leah? Where is it?” He whispered, driving out of the mini mart/ one stop shop.

“Yes, it's with me.” Tiffany said, bringing it out of the pouch strapped to her waist.

“How much was spent?” Alvin asked, but everyone kept quiet.

“What's wrong? Why is no one answering my question?”

“Um, we used around eight hundred thousand dollars. Things like bags of rice, sugar, flour, potatoes, beans, soy beans, oil, soft drinks, cartons of processed food, and other bulky things have been sent home through the express delivery company. We bought them first. Sam would be outside the gate waiting to let them in. We did it this way to reduce the bulk. The price was so high because we only bought premium ingredients. And

  • kitchen disaster

    Soon, the energy settled down, healing all his old wounds and internal injuries he never told anyone about. For example, the wound from the metal spike during a street fight where he was ambushed on his way back from the Wright garage. Although the surface healed, leaving only a scar, deep inside, he knew that something was damaged, but couldn't bear to pay for a full body checkup when there were people who needed the money at home. So he convinced himself it was a tissue scar, and continued to endure. Unexpectedly, his chance encounter with Alvin made him whole. Other wounds and unnoticed sequelaes were erased. He felt more energetic, whole, and peaceful than he had in a very long time. He realized that the mysterious man truly didn't lie to him. It was even better than he initially thought. The healing was comprehensive, not just surface injuries. A new light began to ignite in his heart… it was hope. Hope that his sister could indeed make full recovery. He dialed a numbe

  • Definitely a magic trick

    Ryker watched Xinara run out, towards the outdoor kitchen, and a small smile appeared on his face, full of doting affection. “Lovestruck fool.” Percy shuddered as he watched the scene before him. Ryker gave him a side eye. “It's because you're too ugly to find a girlfriend.” Percy’s expression changed instantly, and he glared daggers at him. Ryker looked away, pretending not to notice. He motioned towards another apprentice walking past while eating a sugarcane. “Ken, go check on little Xin. Watch her so she doesn't set the kitchen on fire. Help her light the gas. Be subtle about it, don't let her notice you're there to help.” Ken made a salute sign towards him, and turned to obey. He was slightly chubby, but cute. He was also intelligent and fiercely loyal. Half of Ryker's apprentices were older than he was, but it never stopped them from showing him the respect he deserved. He was that kind of person that commanded prestige wherever he went. Ryker was close to his subordi

  • Taking a gamble

    “Do you think he will reach out to you?” Tiffany asked as they hit the road. “Who knows?” Alvin shrugged. “I guess I need to be optimistic.” “He will.” Alvin turned to look at Qin Li who just spoke and smiled. Tiffany looked at them through the mirror. “Why do you think so? He made himself pretty clear earlier. More importantly, he seems like the principled and rigid type that are very inflexible. The type that says no and stands by it.” Qin Li wiped the make-up Tiffany put on him with a facial cleanser and wipes, breathing out a sigh of relief. “Well, he's the stubborn principled type who would rather break than bend. I totally agree. For himself, he wouldn't, especially because it's obvious that whatever Alvin was recruiting him to do would be dangerous. But for his sick sister, he will take any chances. While he's a guy toughened by years of hardship and trying to survive on the streets, he's also very family oriented, with a strong sense of responsibility towards the peop

  • showing sincerity

    Alvin brought out a transparent vial, inside was a golden pill with spiral lines. The moment he brought it out, fresh aroma permeated the environment. It was subtle, but everyone felt as if their stress suddenly disappeared, and they got rejuvenated. Even the aches and pain were gone. However, it was so subtle that no one paid particular attention to it, nor linked it to the vial. “This is my sincerity.”Alvin looked at Ryker. “Just take it, and you will know if I'm able to heal your sister. You will know if I'm able to keep all the promises I made to you.” “What's that?” His tone was measured and uninterested. “The wounds on you are still fresh and painful. It can close up your injuries immediately and heal other internal injuries you know nothing of instantly, without side effects. This is an item money cannot buy, it's not in the market. Money is useless when it comes to these kinds of things. That's why I'm using it to show my sincerity.” Ryker picked up the vial to examin

  • Tougher people

    Ryker froze, looking at Alvin. His face went pale, shocked that Alvin was also monitoring his family even though he does his best to stay away from them, unless necessary, to avoid implicating them when his numerous enemies come for recompense. His former boss, Boss Wright, owner of Wright garage, set him up for murder in his former workplace, causing him huge trouble which made him fail to take the college entrance examination and drop out from school. He had been devastated. School was his dream, something he loved doing. He was an exceptional student that got perfect scores or near perfect scores in all his courses, to the extent his school created a new uniform, unique to only him. His room was lined up with more than a hundred trophies. Coming from a dirt poor family where his adoptive father was pushed into the ditch by his wife who took all his properties, leaving them in the streets till they had to relocate to this place. From living in a basement where water flooded

  • RYKER

    When the driver removed his helmet, a handsome young man was revealed. He had this rugged handsomeness that seemed to cling to him, a presence that commands attention. He was sharp, refined, calm, and confident, his almond shaped eyes as cool as still waters. His eyes were a dark brown color, like a stormy night. He ran his finger through his black hair styled in a neat textured crop. “Welcome boss.” As he turned to look at the speaker, his eyes caught sight of Alvin’s Karlmann king. His eyebrows raised askance. As a pro racer who's also a car mechanic, he was no stranger to cars. It was among the rarest of the rarest. However, the more interesting thing was that it has obviously been modified, giving it an advantage over the traditional Karlmann king, and eliminating the structural drawbacks. He turned to the apprentice. The young man dressed in a blue mechanic’s coverall pointed towards the shed. “The guest is waiting inside.” Ryker entered the reception shade, his ey
