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.

  • EVIL GUEST RUINING THE HOST

    “System, are you there?” Alvin asked in panic, swallowing nervously as Murong Wuque's breath fell on his neck. “Yes.” “Come up with ways to kick him out immediately.” “Isn't that wicked? That's kicking your benefactor in the balls. He was the one that used a god ranked alchemy pill to revive you and siphoned some of his energy into your body. Otherwise, why do you think you're already awake jumping up and down within a mere hour?” “Jeez! I'm done for. Why did he follow me in the first place? And you, you didn't notice there were two people with us in the spacecraft all through the journey.” “It was conditioned that way for a reason. It was my negligence. Master, I apologize.” “Your apology is useless at this point. He's looking at me as if he wants to devour me. Damn! Of all the possibilities, why will he be there at that particular time, and even get sucked in with us? Ah!” “I don't know. That's destiny, maybe. Didn't the stone of prophecy tell you before? You have a strong f

  • I want your life

    Qin Li quickly stepped forward, cold sweat on his face. “First brother, please calm down. He only raided the poison miasma because his brother was dying and needed the drug.” He said, going to stand before Alvin. Murong Wuque's eyes narrowed and his face turned to frost. “Qin Li, even you too. You betrayed me. I, your brother.” He whispered in a low voice filled with hurt and disbelief. A huge lump formed on Qin Li's throat, making it hard for him to breathe. He immediately looked away, his heart pounding in trepidation. “You're not even trying to deny it! Qin Li how dare you? How bold! You actually helped an outsider steal from our sect and made me endure the shame of climbing the sinners’ Pavillion, being stripped naked before the disciples, enduring two hundred strokes of demon dragon vine laced with soul eating poison. Nice one. Someone I just met betrayed me, and my brother actually joined him. Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you where you stand!” Murong Wuque's bo

  • Fighting with destiny

    Alvin stirred on his bed, totally exhausted. The bed felt too soft and strange to his body which had gotten used to hard surfaces in the past few days. But the new environment felt instinctively familiar, making him relax lazily. “System, where is this place?” “You're back in villa number seven.” Alvin smiled in relief and opened his eyes. He immediately pressed the summoning bell on his bedside to call in Amanda or Tiffany. But almost immediately, his eyes caught sight of a silver haired bastard leaning lazily against the wall while watching him. His eyes widened and he pointed at him as if he just saw a ghost. “You…you…you. What are you doing here? It was not a dream? You bastard! Do you know what I lost because of you?” Alvin shrieked, his voice high like a shrew, lacking all of the legendary composure Alvin was known for. He immediately hurled a pillow at Murong Wuque, but he effortlessly avoided it. “You bastard! Wait for me!” Alvin snarled, bouncing off the bed. “

  • Who are they?

    Murong Wuque tried to push open the door, but it wouldn't budge, making him frown. He adjusted Alvin in his arms to kick it open. “No! The door is computerized and very expensive. You will damage the house if you kick it open.” Amanda screamed, her hand stretched out to stop him. But it was too late, his foot was already in motion. A few centimeters from connecting to the door, the door suddenly slid open on its own, making him lose his balance and stagger with Alvin in his arms. Coincidentally, while he was adjusting Alvin, his face inadvertently caught the facial recognition lens, and it opened on its own. “Welcome home, master. It has been seventeen days since your last visit.” A robotic voice said, making Murong Wuque who was already in the room turn around in shock. He couldn't find the speaker, making him frown. “What's that voice? I also heard something similar while in that black space.” Alvin's breath became labored at that moment, momentarily distracting him from

  • A BEAUTIFUL MAN

    “First brother, be careful. Restrain your aura. They're mortals with the weakest constitutions I have ever seen. You might kill someone inadvertently by raising your voice.” Qin Li whispered urgently, snapping Murong Wuque back to reality. He quickly suppressed his aura and took a deep breath, calming his anger. “First brother?” Elena whispered as it finally clicked in her mind. He was not a woman. He was a man, who was just too beautiful. And his aura looked noble. Her mind couldn't wrap around it. Where did they come from? How did they end up here? She quickly righted himself on her knees and bowed before him. “I apologize, young master. Please forgive me.” Amanda's eyes widened in shock as she watched Elena. Although they couldn't understand what was being said, they could see Elena kneeling down. “That bitch! She arrived today, yet she's already creating drama as if she's the boss. Wait till I get my hands on her.” She snapped angrily and stomped forward to give Murong

  • STRANGE GUESTS

    Elena was in the ICU on the first floor where Alvin left Oliver before leaving. His color was getting more pallid by the day, making her incredibly worried. Amanda was right beside her, watching Oliver with her. “It has been two weeks, yet the boss is not back. And Oliver is getting worse by the day. His vitals keep dropping. At this point, I don't know if there would be chances for him to be saved.” Two drops of tears fell from Elena's eyes and she quickly wiped it away. “Could something have happened to him? He said he wouldn't take much time, but he has been gone for so long.” Amanda sighed and walked to her. “Nothing will happen to Oliver. And the boss too. Wherever he is, I'm sure he's safe there. Just trust him and wait.” She whispered, going to hug the crying Elena. “I'm so scared. Oliver hasn't opened his eyes for two days now. He used to wake up and eat. But he has not shown any signs of movement for sometime. He couldn't have given up on me, right?” Amanda sig
