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.

  • Retracting steps

    Alvin began to steadily retract control from Elena. He no longer gave her unrestricted access to the companies and funds. For example, instead of financial reports being submitted to her, he relegated it to his desk, and took back the power of attorney to sign away money for projects. Since he didn't know which of them was working for the evil organization, he didn't want to take chances with his assets. Thankfully, two other major corporations were being managed in secret with the system’s help. He was already regretting letting her see everything about his three companies’ cash flow and list of assets. What if greed makes her betray him tomorrow? Sure, she was dedicated and helpful. But if she was working with the enemies, it would be devastating. It was better safe than sorry. Her sphere of influence was cleverly reduced, using the excuse of stress affecting her health and making her unable to find time for cultivation. The next on his list was Tiffany. He needed cleve

  • forging the blood bond

    “Are you ready?” Alvin looked at Ryker, who was sitting opposite him with an ancient scroll sitting between them. Ryker wheezed out a breath. His palm felt clammy with sweat, and his heart wouldn't stop beating a mile a minute. “Does this have any side effects? I…” “As long as you don't betray me or sell me out to my enemies, nothing will happen to you. However, this is irreversible. Once we complete the oath, you're stuck with me. Even if you get discharged in the future, you still won't be able to leak information or go against my interest.” “What's the penalty if I break the oath?” Ryker stuttered nervously, rubbing his palms against his trousers. Alvin smiled mysteriously. “Are you planning to break it?” His eyes hardened the next instant. “Cut the crap, let's start.” Ryker inhaled deeply, and exhaled, then inhaled again. He was doing it. He was really tying in this madness. The point of no return already arrived before he knew it. He looked at Alvin, his heart unable t

  • Too complicated

    Alvin glared back at Murong Wuque, his gaze challenging, as if daring him to do his worst. Murong Wuque's lips twitched. He had never let so much emotion slip past his shell all his life but the little gremlin before him always had a way of bringing out the worst in him. “You really want me to strangle you to death, you filthy dog.” Alvin scoffed, and sneered. “Do your worst. Show me how low your stupid ass can go.” Murong Wuque applied pressure on Alvin's throat as if to strangle him. Without warning, he kicked open the door leading to the bathroom and flung Alvin inside. “I can't be bothered to waste time with you, you're too filthy.” He wiped the parts of his hand that had touched Alvin, and flung the towel after him. “Don't come out until you scrub away the scent of other people on you. Otherwise I might really kill you.” Alvin rolled his eyes, his chest heaving up and down. If it was another person that got flung like a ragdoll out of the blues they might have broken

  • suspicious partners

    Villa number seven. It was five a.m when Alvin’s grey Bentley entered the parking lot. Most inhabitants of villa number seven were awake, and he passed Shi Yue who was on a morning run. Qin Li no doubt would be at the lake in the smaller mountain peak, practicing his sword arts. As for Shi Wei and Shi Qian Ling, they were probably on the roof, practicing qing gong (lightness skill that enables people to teleport), absorbing thunder or engaging in a sword sparring session. Shi Meng Ying was probably in her herb garden, or the little farmhouse she attached to it. Tiffany would be in the transient corner, engaging in her self sparring session to improve her assault skills and mental capacity. Elena was probably busy catching up on work after her fifteen minutes morning exercise. Oliver would be in the gym, or the tech studio. As for Leah, he wasn't too sure. She was probably still sleeping. Sam? He doesn't keep a steady calendar. Martha was definitely cooking breakfast.

  • Wings apartment

    Ryker’s face was a spectacle to behold, making laughter bubble up in Alvin’s throat. “It's really yours. I bought it for you. I initially wanted to give it to you as your onboarding gift after we finish the process. But since we need to use it, I'm merely handing it over a little early.”Now, Ryker was convinced that the general had gone crazy. “How can you transfer an apartment to someone when you were not yet sure I would agree? Do you have too much money or do you just enjoy…”“I'm crazy.” Alvin cut in. “I did it because I'm crazy and love doing irrational things.”Lies. Alvin was the calculating type. How could he bear to give out money without cause? He just believed that Ryker's love for his sister would be enough to overcome his suspicious nature. If by chance he turned out to be wrong, he could just reverse everything to himself and not notarize it. Ryker shook his head. Indeed rich people are all eccentric. “This place should be at least up to fifty million, right? Yet you

  • picked up a genius

    Alvin turned to Ryker. Ryker's face had gone white, and he seemed to be in a lot of pain. He grabbed his hand, checking his pulse. “Damn, tracking worm. Someone placed a tracking worm on you. Who wants to keep tabs on your movement?” He looked up at Ryker. Ryker kept silent, his chest heaving up and down. Alvin wrote a spell on the air and guided it to Ryker's back, then Alvin tore off his (Ryker's) jacket, exposing his left collarbone. Carefully, he pricked the spot. Ryker winced in pain as Alvin dragged the tracking worm out. He showed the black worm to Ryker who made a disgusted face, unable to believe that such a thing could be found in a human’s body. Alvin lightly moved his little finger like one writing, and fire consumed the worm dangling from the tip of the needle. “Let's go up. I need to thoroughly examine you. Otherwise…” His eyes met Ryker's at this point and his words trailed off. Ryker's gaze was hostile, suspicious. He hated the two people who cornered him
