Alvin scoffed at them and rolled his eyes, waiting for more drama.

The manager had a sharp eyes and was discerning.

“Customer, is that what happened? I want to hear from you.”

“Manager, what do you mean? Are you doubting me?” The sales attendant quickly interrupted, looking upset.

“Shut up immediately, unless you want to get fired. Customer, please.”

“I came here to take my sister shopping, in my bid to cheer her up. Who would have expected that your sales attendant would insult us? She even tried to slap me, and all I did here was in self defense. You can check the cameras. All the people I hit were those who tried to hit me first. My sister went through a lot last night barely surviving a life and death accident. I brought her here to cheer her up, and let her clean up before we leave. But your good staff assaulted us, frightening my already scarred sister even more. How do you think we should settle this?” Alvin asked, looking straight at the manager.

The manager watched him carefully, trying to make a, decision.

‘His clothes are stained with dried blood, and he has dried wounds on his hands. So what he said about the accident is probably true. Everyone knows Starlight mall only deals in luxury. If he came here to change clothes after an accident, it means he has enough money to pay. The pendant on the girl's neck was made of purple imperial jade, which is very expensive. She's not ordinary. And she's the daughter of the fallen KS group. The boy might be a friend from another powerful family who came to rescue her after hearing about her family's tragedy. The accident could also mean that the people who harmed her parents came for her last night but the young master arrived in time to rescue her. Besides, these two girls are fond of throwing themselves at rich men while treating cleaners with disdain. Their bloody and muddy clothes must have made the staff despise them. And a proud man used to being worshipped can't swallow that, making him retaliate immediately. He didn't leave after causing trouble which means he has backing. And most importantly, he didn't look at me with lewd gaze. Most men immediately lose composure when they see me, but he met my gaze without the slightest signs of faltering. This can only mean that he's used to being around beautiful and powerful women. He can't be a beggar. His disposition doesn't look like an insecure and terrified bum.’

“You have been staring at me for a long time. What? Do you want to attack me too?” Alvin asked interrupting the manager.

She immediately gave him a beautiful smile.

“You must be joking, young master. Why will I attack an esteemed client? Please, come with us. However, to shop in this section, you have to make a deposit which ranges from two hundred thousand dollars to one million dollars in trust. So that in the case where by a cloth being tested is damaged it could be settled amicably, and money for repair would be deducted. It could also be considered tier one membership f*e.” She said, still smiling.

The deposit was a big lie, but she wanted to test if he had the money to pay.

“Okay.” Alvin said without thinking much, and brought out the card.

“System, is the card ready for use?”

“Of course, will I give you a dummy card? It can work on any machine.”

Alvin offered the card to the manager to inspect it.

‘Gold rimmed black card issued by the world bank? In this whole world, there are less than ten people qualified to have it. It's only below the supreme platinum which has not been issued yet. Thank goodness I came out on time. Otherwise, our store would have lost a big cash cow.’ The manager said mentally, her shrew business mind dancing for joy.

“Go bring the withdrawal machine immediately.” She barked at the sales attendant.

The sales attendant grudgingly obeyed, waiting for the card to decline.

“Young master, how much should we withdraw?” She asked, smiling at Alvin.

“How much will be enough to give her a make over? I don't think we remembered to take her clothes along.” He said, looking at her with his brows furrowed.

“One million will be enough.”

“Make it two million, I will also pick a few things for myself.”

The moment Alvin said this, the two sales attendants began to laugh.

“You want to withdraw two million dollars? Do you even have two thousand dollars?” One of them asked, their voice dripping with disdain.

The manager immediately slapped the speaker, and then swiped the card.

“Payment successful, two million dollars received.” The machine announced.

The hearts of the sales attendants and the security guard who have been standing to the side immediately skipped a few beats.

“Impossible! The machine must be faulty.” The sales attendants shouted simultaneously.

The manager slapped them in exasperation, wondering why they wanted to ruin their stores chance of being the first to make massive sales this morning.

“Get lost immediately.” She shouted, and the two sales attendants turned grudgingly to obey.

“Did I say they could leave after frightening my little sister? Such arrogant people that judge based on looks alone, flattering the powerful while oppressing the weak, should not be allowed to continue in Starlight malls. If they continue working here, things like what happened here will continue to happen. You will lose lots of customers. Besides, they're unrepentant. The only condition for me to return here after today is if you fire them.” He said coldly, making the two women terrified.

They immediately went down on their knees.

“Please, forgive us young master. We didn't know you're…”

“Exactly. You didn't know I had money. That was why you humiliated us—because our clothes were stained with mud and blood. You haven't changed at all. You don't regret your actions. You regret not realizing sooner that I'm not what you initially thought.” Alvin said and scoffed at them.

“The both of you are fired, go to HR and process your severance immediately. And if you linger here for a second, you will be arrested and made to pay for damages.” The manager interrupted, making one of the girls to collapse.

  • LOOK LIKE A COUPLE

    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

  • You must be old

    “If you're done sulking, let's go back.” Murong Wuque’s cold voice interrupted Alvin's thoughts and he glared at him. He knew that the resentful man wouldn't be having any good thoughts about him. He was probably cursing him out in his mind. Alvin changed out of his work gear, back into the clothes he had worn while coming. “You will stop in the forest close to the place I parked my car, then we will go back to the mall to check if the rest have gone home.”Murong Wuque gave out an indecipherable humph, which Alvin couldn't tell whether it meant agreement or protest. He turned around just as Alvin completed his transformation from warrior into a weak young master, looked around one more time, and grabbed his companion, slipping back into the clouds within a nanosecond. Alvin’s heart skipped multiple beats. He didn't expect to move so soon without a heads up. He looked down, but only clouds were visible at that point and they were moving too fast for him to see anything. He was fee

  • Dependable one

    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

  • This is how I die

    The last one was completed in a second and he used a drifting technique to appear beneath the second vehicle. Meanwhile, the bombs that were removed were now in his apron, resting against his thighs because he had nowhere to dispose of them. Indeed, these kinds of system missions required a heart of rock filled with bravery to carry through. Normal people wouldn't have the guts to do whatever they were asked to, knowing that day might be their last since they could die at any moment during the mission. Alvin's hands worked fast, dismantling the bombs under the second car. “Thirty seconds to go.” Alvin took a deep breath, trying to be as fast as possible, but whoever planted the bomb did a careful job. The bomb timer was already counting down with the system, showing that it might explode at any moment. He soon moved to the last one which seemed more complicated than the rest. There was a camera lens attached to the last bomb, probably so the tweeps could see when everything

  • Like one with a death wish

    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

  • Setting off

    Alvin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After the morning's stressful incident, he programmed his day to rest and laze around. Yet, the system was sending him on an emergency system mission, without even asking him if he was ready, in the most unsuitable place of all. He was so far from home, and wasn't with any equipment or weapon, leaving him totally unprepared. “Warning! Lives at stake! Accept now.”“Accept!” He muttered wearily.“Namlen Hills, Jurax park, Namdong county, two school buses carrying a hundred school children have been strapped with bombs by terrorists. The children's school took them for a picnic and would soon return. The bomb is meant to explode in twenty minutes, get the bomb away from children and preserve their lives.”Alvin’s mouth dropped open. Wasn't this asking him to sacrifice his life to save the children? “System, Namdong county is ninety kilometers away in another state, the earliest I can get there is an hour. Teleportation wouldn't work either b
