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.

Director Britney, excluding the gains from the poached movies and stars used with low pay, the cash diverted to you came up to a billion. For Kensington, yours wasn't much, five hundred million, the Pierce family, two hundred million excluding bribes received from Lily and her spawns, the list goes on and on.”Murong Wuque motioned to Tiffany who accepted a stack of documents from him. He had created folders for everyone guilty of embezzlement, in addition to the amounts they owe SW and the things they have done. Lily's file was especially enormous, followed by Katarina and Director Britney. Their pictures were included, and at the back tagged index, records of their other crimes and scandals which had nothing to do with SW, but had severe legal and social implications were added, as if trying to pressure them using the evidence collected. “Lily, you have three days to gather

    Alvin smirked. “More good than harm? You mean to you, director Britney?”The shareholders froze, then everyone turned to director Britney. “Director Britney, Lily Wen's espionage and embezzlement, you also benefitted from it. Of course, you won't see anything wrong with it.”Director Britney's face darkened and he slammed his palm against the table. “Are you trying to accuse me, a shareholder of trying to harm the company? Chairman Kent, you can eat carelessly but speaking carelessly always comes with consequences.”Alvin laughed and went to the computer. A video began to play, showing an event. During the monthly meeting with script writers working for SW, an upcoming star writer brought an amazing script, most people wanted to pick it among the next quarter's filming project. But Lily insisted that the risks were much, and according to the chairman's policy, it couldn't be processed. Then Director Britney approached the writer, buying the script, producing it and making billions,

    12.30 p.m Awe, fear and disbelief were the most prominent among all the emotions the executives were feeling at the moment. Murong Wuque had returned within an hour with five USBs. No one knew how he did it, but he recovered even deleted files, went through recordings spanning three years, and extracted the ones he needed, all within an hour. Then he had returned to help Alvin with the accounts by 9.50 a.m. In just three hours, he and Alvin had gone through the entire documents, flipping the pages with lightning speed as they reconciled accounts, fingers flying over the keyboard as if they were superhuman. Now, there were graphs, charts and key points carefully outlined, showing trends, mistakes and loopholes. On her end, Elena and the others were hard at work. Although they had only managed to go through that of this year and the year before, the information extracted was enough. Something was incredibly wrong with SW. Sure, it raked in billions in profit, but peop

    Most of them looked uncomfortable. Just like Lily, they thought that this new chairman was such a show off. They had been scared and reverent of him when he used to arrive mysteriously on the rooftop with helicopters, and a masked face, fearing his influence and power since he could make the company change hands in such a short time without drama. However, after realizing his real identity and age, they couldn't help but rethink their knowledge about him. In their memory, he used to be the mysterious, untouchable CEO accompanied by Elena. But this time, he seemed like a youth playing billionaire with daddy's money, even though the records available showed he wasn't from a rich family. There were speculations that the real source of his wealth was the big brother who probably adopted him. He seemed like the real deal. Pity he always kept his face hidden. In other words, Alvin was either a toyboy being kept by this mysterious rich brother, or he was a rich heir who was

    The suspicion that clouded everyone's gaze the moment he entered the meeting room was the first thing Alvin noticed. Everyone was looking at him with dread. He checked himself stylishly to see if there was something wrong with his outfit or aura, then Murong Wuque behind him. Alvin looked at Tiffany, wondering what this was all about. In the corner, Lily Wen sat between two female guards, her face looking stiff, shoulders haunched. “Boss, have you seen the headlines this morning?” He shook his head, slightly confused. “What happened? I'm just waking up.” Tiffany tapped on her phone screen and turned it towards him. “Fred Coleman died at midnight… in a ghastly car accident which happened inexplicably.” Alvin was stunned at first, then he raised an eyebrow. “So? What if he's dead? What does it have to do with me? Karma has a way of catching up with people who deserve it.” Tiffany looked at him, a new degree of fear and awe in her eyes. “Someone had sent a car to smu

  • TOTALLY ANNOYING

    By the time Alvin woke up the next morning, Murong Wuque had left the bed, his own portion had since lost its heat. He groaned and stretched his body, feeling refreshed. He hadn't felt so relaxed and well rested in a long time. If he was at home he would have woken up hours before to enter his lab or go cultivate. However, he actually slept till dawn. It was past seven in the morning. He sat up with a smile on his face, and immediately got startled. He wasn't alone as he thought. Murong Wuque was sitting in the sofa opposite him, legs crossed elegantly, wearing spectacles while reading a book. He was fully dressed in his expensive suit regalia. Like always, his suit jacket was designed like a robe, stopping just above his knees, and held together by a silk rope, instead of buttons. He looked like a very powerful aristocratic young master, the sight was very beautiful and ethereal. The morning light drifting in through the blinds made it seem like halos was surrounding
