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.

  • Ridiculous and shameless requests

    Su Ying shot up from her position on seeing the injured Yang Yang. “Fourth brother, what happened?” “We were ambushed by assasins targeting the energy crystals, artifacts and pills we were carrying.” An Si Feng answered, causing gasps, sighs and sharp inhales to follow in their little group. Su Ying's attention diverted to Zhang Xiao Wei who just landed, his face heavy. Ouyang Tingling shook her head. As expected, nothing good ever came out of the elders council. “What did the elders council want this time?” Su Mei asked, watching Zhang Xiao Wei sit cross legged on the floor. Yang Yang hair bristled on hearing elders council, his disappointment morphing into hatred. “They wanted me to hand over First brother's serpent punishing rod.” Zhang Chen punched the floor, his teeth giving off a harsh grating sound. “Those bastards!” Ouyang Tingling spat. “Because they discovered First brother can use the serpent punishing rod to communicate with us, they want to seize it. Despica

  • never a good day

    Less than an hour after Zhang Xiao Wei left, another commotion arose at the gates. This time louder. Su Mei, who was sitting with the others at Jade Pavillion, frowned. Ouyang Tingling sighed, her head turning in the direction of the gates. “What could be the problem this time?” Su Ying chuckled, and shook her head. “It's laughable. Pests that didn't dare to squeak when First brother was around. Now they won't stop flying around.” Zhang Chen leaned back, resting his weight against a pillar. “They think it would be a case of when the commander dies, the soldiers scatter. Funny. Another commander will rise to the mandate. We have to cultivate even harder and expand our network. If it didn't happen to First brother, we wouldn't have known how wicked and conniving they were.” The commotion got louder. Zhang Chen cursed out, frustrated, and stood up. “Let me check it out.” Xi Meng Yao, Murong Wuque’s female disciple who acts as the housekeeper, equally came out from the dining courty

  • FORCED INTO OVERSIZED SHOES

    Celestial realm, Medicine sage valley. Jade palace main entrance. The disciples guarding the gates had their brows drawn together, swords crossed, barring the entrance. “Please stay back. Jade palace is off limits. No one is allowed in.” The two messengers scowled at the disciples blocking the entrance, eyes roving all over the interior parts their eyes could reach. As if searching for something, anything. “No one is allowed in? How come I see lots of people who are not members of the jade palace in the courtyard?” One snapped. The head disciple leading the guards sighed, feeling his temple throb fiercely. “No stranger is allowed inside Jade palace. Everyone in there has permits and access tokens granted by our master himself. All working for him.” His eyes zeroed in on the one persistently pushing. “As for you, on what grounds are you demanding to enter? Is our jade palace a place just anyone could enter and leave as they pleased?” “Just anyone?” The elder’s disciple's f

  • LOVE AMIDST TRIALS

    Su Mei hurried to the entrance to see what was happening. The rest also wanted to follow, but Chu Feng blocked them. “Let Su Mei and Zhang Xiao Wei handle this. Going out like this might cause unnecessary complications if it's something serious.” Su Ying sighed, visibly displeased. But she knew he had a point. Especially for her who had already offended the valley master. As if Zhang Chen could read her thoughts, he bumped her arm, making her turn around, her face still contorted into a displeased frown which made look cute instead of scary. “A'Ying, say, how much trouble do you think you've attracted this time?” Su Ying’s eyes narrowed, Chu Feng’s lips twitched. “You better watch your back nowadays and never go out at night. You've offended that old hyena, he must be itching to bite off your pouty succulent head. Graaah!” His growl was accompanied with a pouncing motion that made Su Ying sneer. “Our A'Ying lured in the tiger. What if it bites her to death? We have to pro

  • UNWAVERING FAITH

    Su Mei seeing that no elder stepped forward climbed the podium. “First of all, I wish to thank the disciples for staying true to their hearts and honoring the warrior’s code. I know we all are worried about our first brother. Like you all, we also wish and pray he makes it home soonest. There's no need for panic. We only have to believe in him. No matter how tough it is, wherever that place is, we believe he would return safely. He always have.” Many people nodded, agreeing. In the past, no matter the level of difficulty, or how many people had died in an abyssal zone, Murong Wuque always returned alive. Injured most times, but alive nevertheless. Why should this time be any different? Although he's poisoned with the soul eating poison, with his divine emperor cultivation, he should be able to survive. “Regarding the issue of someone using his technique to deceive others, we should treat it as a matter of the highest urgency. All use of techniques taught by our First brother ar

  • Evil and hated leaders

    CELESTIAL REALM After Murong Wuque's disturbing projection with the mirror formation at the Ascension pavillion, the Medicine Sage Valley caught fire. Those who were thought to be working with the evil elders didn't have it easy. Rumors and speculations spread like wildfire. Murong Wuque's people did well to disemminate everything he said about impostors pretending to be him and using his identity to scam people, harvest lives and commit atrocities. Su Ying used the Su family's resources to pass messages along to elite clans, merchant groups and the Murong imperial family’s allied clans. Wu-express used its sales and espionage channels to send messages to other continents, informing them about all Murong Wuque said, through secret underground disemmination pathways. Now, beyond Tian Luo continent, everyone most certainly knew Murong Wuque was set up and trapped by people with evil intentions. Whispers of what could have really happened seeped between cracks. Others wondered
