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.

    Everyone turned speechless at the awkward question, Elena felt dizzy, like she was about to faint. The multiple pairs of eyes fixed on her were making it worse, increasing her anxiety. “No. You misunderstood. That's…” She hastened to explain, her face turning beet red. She looked like she was about to cry, but he wasn't done with her yet. “Why do you expect special treatment? Are you his woman? His sister is right here, not acting up. When did it become your turn to act as the madam or some boss’ lady? Even if he has a thing going on with you, which I know he doesn't, you won't count since he has not given you an official title.” Qin Li quickly stepped forward, realizing that things were about to go South. “First brother, you don't need to get angry. She was just expressing concern for him. Alvin is close to his subordinates. We're like one big family here…” Murong Wuque scoffed, then pointed at Shi Yue. “She didn't request to see him, Leah also didn't come to irritate me. Wh

    Elena went speechless as she stared at her. Although, Leah had been smiling throughout. She couldn't help but feel as if she was shunned. Tiffany quickly interfered, hoping to break the ice. “Still, I can't help but feel worried. He left yesterday in a haste. He would have sent a message back if it's taking more time than necessary. This time feels different and I can't help but feel anxious. Throughout last night, I've been restless, unable to gather my thoughts. I never felt that way during his previous missions.” Leah sighed and brought out her phone, typing a message to him. “My phone is connected to his watch, let me try messaging him.” Elena temporarily forgot the slight she was subjected to, more worried about Alvin. “He might not see the message if he's busy. A call will be a grievous mistake. If it rings, it might give out his location.” She groaned and collapsed on a sofa. Shi Meng Ying soon came in with a bouquet of fresh flowers, meant to increase concentration, a

  • a heart that could not be hidden

    Villa number Seven While Murong Wuque’s evil devices flayed the unfortunate three alive, he was focused on resuscitating Alvin. His fingers worked with precision, expelling poisons, resetting fractured ribs, and bones, mending tissues and extracting damaged cells. Lots of his precious pills and slaves were brought out from his special treasury, either fed to Alvin, or smeared over his injuries. The wooden immortal longevity healing needles moved along Alvin's body with precision and expertise of a top master. The level of control needed to execute this was amazing. The needles were special in the sense that they did not just heal the ailment the user intended to tackle, they detect and fish out other abnormalities. The most amazing quality was its effect of improving the internal structure of the recipient and granting longevity. Who doesn't want a long life? Who doesn't crave immortality? That was the reason Murong Wuque never brought it out. It was too precious to be use

    She kept twitching on the floor, hitting her head and arm severally against the ground. “I'm burning. I'm burning up. My body is on fire. Ah!” The flames, the pricking sensations and lack of control over their bodies was nightmarish. The man's head turned bloody, soaking his clothes. He collapsed to the floor, panting and groaning. The pain was indescribable. It felt as if a million ants were gnawing on him, a thousand flame needles pricking all over his body, especially the sensitive parts. As if someone was cutting at his skin, liver and heart, while flinging him around. The woman felt worse because she also felt the burning sensation, as if someone dumped her in a blazing furnace. Whatever the man felt, she was feeling it thrice the intensity. Her cloak fell away, revealing a seductive beauty in her thirties, with long red hair, and brown eyes. She would have looked sexy if not for the cold aura of danger surrounding her. Miles away from there, senator Bertrand Flitzer,

  • Won't let you die.

    Murong Wuque lifted him out of the tub and carried him to their room. Only a towel was wrapped around Alvin’s waist. His breath rose and fell steadily, but his lips were still pale. He had successfully dredged the deposits in Alvin's chest blocking his breathing. Murong Wuque kept staring at Alvin's face, confused, sad, then in pain. His emotions were all over the place, he didn't know what he was feeling. The most pronounced was pain. He felt agony searing through his heart. What if Alvin didn't return to him alive? What if he collapsed somewhere along the way and never made it home? What if his enemies got to him first? Murong Wuque shuddered, his heart feeling cold as he thought about it. If Alvin didn't try his utmost to reach villa number seven before he lost consciousness, it would have been disastrous. Firstly, the people chasing after him might get to him first and his life would be over. Even if they let him live, he would turn to a dog, suffering and doing thing

  • Slave seeking curse

    Murong Wuque rushed to the bathroom, and set up a warm bath, pouring in different expensive herbs into the water. Alvin's clothes were quickly stripped off, giving him a thorough bath and massage. “Three broken ribs. An, you truly don't want your life anymore. How many times will you break your ribs?” The last time he had treated Alvin for broken ribs, just days after they arrived on earth. Alvin had thought that he healed himself properly, only for Murong Wuque to notice it when he fell against Alvin. If not for that little embarrassing situation, Alvin might have kept walking around with poorly aligned ribs, thinking it was perfect. By earth's standards it was okay. But for cultivators engaged in extreme exercises and hardships, it was a recipe for disaster. He dragged his fingers up Alvin’s torso, lingering around his chest area. His expressions became more grave by the second. Whatever he was seeing wasn't good. Murong Wuque hit a spot on Alvin's chest and he vo
