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.

  • cast aside

    For nearly a minute, Alvin forgot how to breathe. A sharp pang shot straight through his heart. His hands trembled slightly, and a cold shiver brushed across his skin. He slowly glanced up at Murong Wuque's face. Murong Wuque arched an eyebrow, watching him and patiently waiting. Alvin's chest tightened. Then his own voice echoed inside his mind. [“Hope this meal isn't poisoned? Not like last supper or anything similar?”] He had said those words to Murong Wuque weeks ago, after returning from the mission where he went to rescue the kids. His words back then had come out casually. But deep inside, he knew they had been borne from suspicion. A suspicion that had begun to hibernate after seeing the silhouette of the silver-haired thief who had tampered with his safe. His suspicion that the all-powerful Immortal Lord sitting atop the evil organization and ordering chaos across the three realms was none other than the man bending him over every night and digging into him like it

  • A bite of his own medicine

    EARTH, VILLA NUMBER SEVEN Alvin balanced the two trays in his right hand and pushed the door to their room open. A small smile tugged at his lips. He had gone out of his way to cook for him. Surely, this would thaw the century-old ice living in his room. He kicked the door shut with his foot and carried the trays to the centre table in their room. He carefully lowered them onto it. The table was surrounded by three sofas in a U-shape and was located close to the wide glass partition separating their room from the balcony. The curtains above the glass partition were half drawn, leaving only the sliding door section that led to the balcony open. Murong Wuque was sitting at his workstation. On seeing Alvin walk into the room, he quickly closed the folder he was working on and switched to a random financial chart report. Aurelio was half asleep on his thigh, his little teeth having left quite a lot of marks on Murong Wuque's forearm. He was teething, which made him more sensit

  • trap closing in

    Yuwen Hao sighed heavily and shook his head. “It breaks my heart that Ruohan gave heed to evil companions and advice which led him to this point. Generations of the Yuwen clan have stood for what was right and upright, never oppressing others.” At this point, those who knew Yuwen Hao’s real nature couldn't help the sneers that appeared on their faces. Never oppressing others, huh? Oppression must have gotten a different meaning since the others checked. “The Valley's rules for dealing with people who betray its teachings are very clear. I won't show mercy or make exceptions because I know the offender.” His pitch dropped at this point, as if he was struggling to keep his voice steady or fighting to keep himself from breaking down. Slowly, he exhaled. “Therefore, I will be choosing the harshest punishment for Yuwen Ruohan!” His voice boomed across the open space, forceful and full of conviction. The person in the cage was breathing heavily, each breath shallow and labo

  • Treacherous old fox

    Chu Feng, who had been watching Yuwen Hao’s body language from a distance, frowned.Yuwen Hao appeared far too calm for someone whose son had been trapped. He didn't look bothered by the accusations flying around. Knowing the way Yuwen Hao operated and his sly methods, Chu Feng couldn't help but straighten, anxiety rocking through him.He had asked Su Ying, and any other person whose vulnerability could give him an opening for a counterattack, not to come today.Suddenly, the loud clanking of chains came from above the pavilion.Chu Feng shuddered.A feeling of déjà vu swept over him. For a fleeting moment, he could almost see Murong Wuque there again, staring up at descending chains in confusion.He shook his head and took several deep breaths.Yang Yang gripped his palm and gave it a tight squeeze. “You okay, man?”Chu Feng forced a smile and nodded. Then he turned his full attention to the stage.A giant cage was descending from who knew where.Many people instinctively held their

  • Hypocrisy at its finest

    Chu Feng almost laughed from the sheer irony. In Murong Wuque's case, almost everyone in the academy had supported him, insisting it was impossible for him to have been the culprit, or have anything to do with the theft at all. They had that much faith in their impeccable First Brother. His sacrifices all those years hadn't been for nothing after all. Most knew he was being set up and kept cheering for him. Although they had been too scared to make any excessive moves or attempt to start a riot back then, they still spoke out loudly, insisting that he didn't deserve such disgrace after everything he'd done for the Medicine Sage Valley and the Celestial Realm in general. But today, everyone was unanimous in their disgust for Yuwen Ruohan. Not a single person dared to speak out for him, not even a whisper of sympathy escaping their lips for fear of being lynched by the furious crowd. Even his followers and fellow demon cultivators didn't dare make a peep. Some were even loudl

    Yuwen Hao’s face was darker than coals, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles emitted faint cracking sounds.All of a sudden, low beeps echoed through the pavilion. His eyes narrowed slightly.He paused midstep, the muscles along his jaw tightening before he slowly turned around and made his way toward the exit.By the time he reached the building’s main entrance, a young man was already waiting there, dressed in his palace guard’s uniform.Yuwen Hao’s heart was filled with irritation, yet he forced icy calmness onto his expression, his eyes the very picture of serenity.The guard was trembling as he stood there, visibly nervous.“Speak!” The guard immediately dropped to his knees, shivering.“My lord, students and top palace masters are gathered in Sinners Pavillion, under the leadership of Su Mei to demand accountability. They're asking you to explain why the young master was that kind of cultivator. Or …”The young man's words drifted off, his lips trembling as though he
