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.

    Ryker froze, looking at Alvin. His face went pale, shocked that Alvin was also monitoring his family even though he does his best to stay away from them, unless necessary, to avoid implicating them when his numerous enemies come for recompense. His former boss, Boss Wright, owner of Wright garage, set him up for murder in his former workplace, causing him huge trouble which made him fail to take the college entrance examination and drop out from school. He had been devastated. School was his dream, something he loved doing. He was an exceptional student that got perfect scores or near perfect scores in all his courses, to the extent his school created a new uniform, unique to only him. His room was lined up with more than a hundred trophies. Coming from a dirt poor family where his adoptive father was pushed into the ditch by his wife who took all his properties, leaving them in the streets till they had to relocate to this place. From living in a basement where water flooded

  • RYKER

    When the driver removed his helmet, a handsome young man was revealed. He had this rugged handsomeness that seemed to cling to him, a presence that commands attention. He was sharp, refined, calm, and confident, his almond shaped eyes as cool as still waters. His eyes were a dark brown color, like a stormy night. He ran his finger through his black hair styled in a neat textured crop. “Welcome boss.” As he turned to look at the speaker, his eyes caught sight of Alvin’s Karlmann king. His eyebrows raised askance. As a pro racer who's also a car mechanic, he was no stranger to cars. It was among the rarest of the rarest. However, the more interesting thing was that it has obviously been modified, giving it an advantage over the traditional Karlmann king, and eliminating the structural drawbacks. He turned to the apprentice. The young man dressed in a blue mechanic’s coverall pointed towards the shed. “The guest is waiting inside.” Ryker entered the reception shade, his ey

    Once in a while, Tiffany would steal a glance from Alvin through the mirror. Her gaze was still full of disbelief and awe, as if she was seeing him for the first time. After Alvin entered the building, he retrieved a few things from the safe the system prepared for him, holding everything a general should have. His ID card, his military token, epaulet, and passport. He also retrieved his military wear. What's more? He changed his car. Currently, Tiffany was driving him in a military registered car. His Karlmann King was a limited edition baby worth a fortune, all from the system. In the whole country only he had it. It was a piece of military heaven awarded to him after unlocking the general rank, alongside everything a general should have in his Hallowed cliffs. Qin Li kept staring at the car in admiration. Even inside, he couldn't get over it. It was sturdy, but not too bulky. It was bullet and shatter proof, can resist earthquake, collision and most types of bombs. A real

  • you're the general?

    “Let's drop by somewhere first. I need to pick up something.” It was Alvin, on his way to recruit his first critical talent. Qin Li and Tiffany were with him in the Mercedes Benz G-class armored variant. Nowadays, Alvin was paying more attention to bullet proof cars. His companies were doing too well, and there were many jealous rivals. Although most people didn't know he was the head of many of his groups of companies, the ones others knew were no joke. SWE and Kent electronics were visibly his. The other time, someone reported his SWE for tax evasion. Thankfully, the records were clean, slapping the face of the nosy rival hard. Even if Alvin wanted to evade tax, it was not as if they would be able to catch him with his level of skills. He just didn't want to cause himself unnecessary trouble, especially with the companies openly known as his. Rivals often tried to play a trick or two to eliminate him, this bone lodged in their throats. They were afraid that if he kept risi

    Murong Wuque stood stunned, not believing his ears. What private military base? Give it to Alvin? “Alvin, do you still have a fever?” Alvin gave him a side eye and kept silent. Murong Wuque tried to check his forehead and got his hand knocked away. “I don't have a fever. I just need to use your military base for something.” He scoffed at Alvin's self righteous words. He said it as if it was a matter of course, and he didn't expect to be rejected. A very simple request. “Do you even know how much it costs, yet you expect me to hand it over just because you said so?” Alvin’s lips twitched, he didn't have an answer to that. Seeing Murong Wuque shake his head wryly, he hastened to explain. “I'm not asking for ownership. Just temporal use, maybe give me access to keep some people there till I finish adjusting a few things on my end. It's not that hard.” “You do realize my military base is a research lab, and letting in random people might boomerang, causing me to lose everything.”

    “What's wrong?” Shi Yue soon noticed the despair on his face. “If he's the one in charge of it, I might as well forget about it.” He turned to her. “Look, even you knew that he had that kind of thing. But he didn't tell me, he never tells me about any plans of his.” “How about you? Do you ever tell him every one of your plans and get approval?” His frown was enough to tell her all she needed to know. “See? You never tell him anything because it's your personal business and task. It's the same for him. You're both men, it's not as if you're dating or something. It makes sense that you don't bother the other and do your thing on your own.” “If you put it like that, does that mean you're dating him?” Shi Yue kept silent and Alvin’s heart began to pound erratically, sweat making his palm clammy. She poked his arm, incredulous. “What nonsense are you thinking about? It's your Iceman we're talking about. The monk-like holistic prince of the murong imperial clan. When will it ever be
