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.

    “Can you help me up?” Alvin groaned, his eyes shutting with pain. Tiffany nodded, her hands shaking with panic. The policemen arrived at that moment. “Young man, what happened?” Alvin offered them a bloody grin, sitting up. “Who else? My fellow contestant at the star search event mauled me and stole my manuscripts.” The policeman in the lead frowned, as he watched Alvin. “Do you need us to open a case file for you?” “No need. Your superiors won't let you go against them.” Just as Tiffany was about to grab his arm and pull him up, a shadow appeared before them. Alvin looked up. Even with the person wearing berets, a nose mask and sunshades, he could tell right away who it was. “Let me do it.” Murong Wuque lowered his upper body, carefully lifting Alvin off the ground. “What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you all to stay home?” “Shut your mouth.” Murong Wuque snapped, irritation oozing out of him. “Your brain is really thick or filled with dirty water. There are

    The guards rushed towards Alvin with their sticks and metal pipes. He scoffed and looked at Fred, his eyes promising retribution. “If you let your dogs bite me, I will make you regret it.”Sonya chuckled while Fred nodded severally, pointing at him. The anger in Fred's heart was like a vice clamping down on his throat, cutting off his airways. He had never felt so angry and humiliated by an insignificant ant in his entire lifetime. “Boys, knock out his teeth!!” His roar reverberated all around the alley, filled with venom, bitterness, hatred and malice. Alvin avoided the metal pipe coming for his face, letting it hit the thug behind him instead. He caught another thug and delivered a heavy blow to his chest. The thug dropped to his knees, groaning in pain. A metal pipe landed across Alvin's back and he winced slightly, turning to the assailant with burning eyes. Before the assailant could say jack, he found himself flying into the refuse dump. ‘It seems my strength is still to

    Alvin finished his song and looked up. For the first two minutes, there was a pin drop silence with everyone entranced and still crying heavily, wiping their tears. Someone began to clap, more people joined in. The audience erupted again, cheering for him, clapping and shouting. “Number fifty-four we love you.” “You're amazing.” “Stay strong, boyfriend.” Alvin almost giggled underneath. But being the great actor he was, he maintained his sad gaze, wiping his tears while ‘mistakenly’ showing his injuries. His injuries had long healed. He used a cream to make spots on his body raw and injured. Once he washed it off with the special herb combination and applied the soothing gel, his skin would recover within an hour. It could be said that Alvin had gotten really ruthless. He was very cruel and calculating with others, but even more ruthless to himself. He would stop at nothing to pay them back, even hurting himself. Alvin turned to leave and one of the organizers stood up

    Sonya and Fred shot to their feet, rushing to the balustrade to get a closer look, their eyes wide with shock and horror. Alvin slowly moved to the stage, the spotlight following him everywhere. “That little piece of shit. He actually dared to come!” Fred cursed, his face twisting into a mask of fury. “He actually came. Why?” Sonya looked even more confused. Even though Alvin was stubborn, he knew when to lower his head, especially after the ordeal they put him through the previous day. He should have hit the road running, not come back to where they would see him. “What was he thinking? Damn!” Fred hit his fists against his palm in frustration. “It seems like yesterday's lesson wasn't harsh enough.” He turned to Sonya, his eyes red with fury. “Didn't you say he was an absolute coward? A sucker for you. Why couldn't you keep him in line after yesterday? He's here now, about to perform again.” Sonya looked at him, her eyes showing the barely restrained anger deep down

    Back to the present day. Alvin kept looking at Murong Wuque, but he maintained a poker face, leaving no clues to be found. “Fine, since you've obtained a land, let's start building a secure military base. It's very big, so we're going to use only one acre. Go check the area closest to city centers and get back to me. There should also be multiple escape routes and an underground road channel. However, finding a competent construction engineer who won't betray us or give in to the enemy is a huge problem.” “Leave it to me.” Alvin turned to look at Shi Yue who spoke. “What?” “I'm an architect. Didn't you see it back in our sect? All those underground routes we escaped from were secretly built by me. Digging tunnels and secret escapes is my forte. Also, I have been studying earth's design and architecture since I arrived. I even got a certification after a two weeks online class. It wouldn't be accepted if I apply to other companies with it, but this is for us. Since it's mean

    Murong Wuque rolled his eyes, a rush of air leaving his lungs. “Were you even listening to me? At the surface the energy seems sparse, but the energy is condensed below. I just need to activate the vine and open it up. Just these few days, I have stumbled on quite a number of good things in that place. Since I bought it, it means I already thought about everything in advance.” Alvin nodded, same with Qin Li. “True. Our First brother never makes a wrong decision. Whatever step he takes no matter how crazy, has always been clearly considered and planned. He's never one to act impulsively. If he says it, it's always better to trust him.” “Are you really sure you bought it from the right source? Still, a god ranked pill isn't something you should have brought out on earth. It has never appeared before.” Murong Wuque went back to sit down, crossing his legs elegantly. “Don't worry, I suppressed the energy and inhaled most of its properties and efficacy, making it more suitable fo
