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.

  • she really betrayed me

    Murong Wuque picked up his phone and typed something on it, then dropped it on the table, facing it down. Alvin dialed a number on his. “Boss, are you alright?”His eyes went to Lily who was still sitting with a slight smile on her face, watching them. “Tiffany, Lily Wen betrayed me. Within thirty minutes, I want to know the reason, what she has been doing at SW all these times, who she's working with and other things. Most especially, I need proof that she asked the reporters to push me into a tight corner.”“Yes, boss.”Lily shook her head, watching them. Alvin's eyes never left her. She looked smug… way too confident and smug. ‘System, I don't think Tiffany can find anything within such a short time. I'm leaving it to you. Within fifteen minutes, I want to know if she has been harming the interest of my company while playing the part of a devoted employee. Find everything that could be used against her if things get worse.’‘On it, master.’Using the system for that level of inve

  • WHAT'S YOUR MOTIVATION

    The question stunned everyone, Alvin most especially. Lily had a strong reputation as a hard worker. If the capable hands Alvin had at SW entertainment who allowed him to do other things because he was assured they would keep the company running were counted, Lily came top five. “Master, the paparazzi are close by. You should take them somewhere else.” Alvin looked around uncomfortably. “This is no place for this, follow me. Two of the security guards should come with us, the rest go distract the paparazzi searching for me.” Once he finished speaking, he led the little group through a fire escape, into an exclusive meeting room. Lily was boiling. The most annoying was the slight sweat that stuck to her skin due to the stress of having to take the stairs instead of the elevator. “I'm fired? What's that supposed to mean? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to fire me?” Murong Wuque kept staring at her, saying nothing. She turned to Alvin. “Boss…” “If he said you

  • setting a trap for Alvin

    For three seconds Alvin said nothing. The reporter smiled and took a step forward, seeing the net closing in on him. “What? You can't answer? Or are you hoping the Carter group will become weak enough for you to swoop in and take over?”Murong Wuque stepped forward, and the temperature of the room went down by a few degrees. Alvin grabbed his arm, stopping him. The whole world was watching, they couldn't afford him going on a rampage at this point. The reporter who asked the question staggered back, her knees going weak. Alvin’s eyes turned red, tears gathered, his voice turned cracky. “You can go ask around Mercy hospital. I was the one taking care of him till he died.”A clean line of tears ran down his cheek, and he touched his face in mock surprise, and quickly dabbed it away. He should really be awarded an Oscar for a perfect performance. “I did everything a filial grandson should do. Never did I expect recompense. I single handedly arranged his burial. I loved him like a fa

  • sabotage

    The video showed Fred and his guards beating him up that day, before eventually taking him to the Blue river. “Hurry up and throw him inside, the fishes are waiting for their dinner.” The vicious expression on Sonya’s face was quite a spectacle to behold. The projector went off at this point. The reporters were furiously taking notes on their notepads, their accompanying camera men focused on Alvin, each outdoing themselves in their bid to get the best pictures. “I thought I was certainly dead, but it seemed heaven didn't want such a heartbreaking thing to occur, so he sent a mentor. It was this mentor that fished me out of the water, and gave me a second chance to start over.”“Even after everything I achieved, the trauma stayed with me. Although I had a powerful backing, I didn't dare to show my face. Whether as Mystery, or as number fifty-four, I kept my face covered, hoping to do the things I love while avoiding attention. Unexpectedly, they found me again. And history repeated

  • Press conference begins

    Camera flashes fell on Alvin's face as the hired security personnel led him into the hall. Murong Wuque, whose face was covered, was standing beside him, while Rex brought the rear with the guards. Murong Wuque was dressed in a pastel pink suit with a design that had never been seen in the market. As always, his suit jacket came down to his knees, covering whatever it was from prying eyes. He was wearing an expensive spectacle which was meant to hide his eye color, his face and hair totally covered by the scarf. Alvin was dressed in a navy blue suit, wearing an ear stud made of black diamonds. His watch reflected the light, and his bracelets had reporters zooming in on his wrists. Lily Wen, the Vice President of SW entertainment bowed to him and took the podium. “What did I just see? The arrogant vice president who never gave anyone face is bowing to number fifty-four!” “The people accompanying him are so powerful. That's Rex Dominus, the heir of Dominium group, and the CE

  • marking territories

    In just one hour, authenticated videos exposing Fred and Sonya's evil deeds flooded the internet. Fans kept digging up videos of the both harassing employees, doing drugs and bullying others. As for Carter and Coleman companies, their shares became useless. Coleman had it worse because they were owing brands breach of contract penalties. Workers kept resigning and denouncing them on social media to prevent being attacked and ostracized by others. Alvin helpfully used an anonymous account to upload videos of Sonya engaging in foursomes after acting all cute with Fred. All the videos Tiffany gathered over the past few weeks were gathered and spread on the internet. It was shameless, despicable and below the belt, but Alvin didn't care. Since they did him dirty without remorse, he would equally dish the same out to them. News of what happened to Alvin and his previous marriage with Sonya filled the internet with his former colleagues at the bar being interviewed, confirming that he
