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.

  • complicated feelings

    VILLA NUMBER SEVEN The house was eerily quiet. Most people were done with their cultivations, now sleeping. Alvin was the only exception. He was still hunched over his workstation, investigating trails left by senator Bertrand. “This conspiracy runs deeper than expected. If all these high ranking officials are part of the evil organization, then it would get more troublesome than I expected.” “Master, another lab affiliated to the evil organization detected. Do you want to send a satellite to take a peep?” Alvin kept silent. There have been lots of reports of gifted kids getting missing and it got worse after he confiscated their cargo, as if the evil organization was racing against time itself. The amount of youth blood being lost was alarming. If Alvin didn't know better, he would have thought that a core member got severely injured and needed the blood for rejuvenation. He sighed again, indeed, this was too troublesome. “System, I've not gotten everything in place. I ca

  • Difficult decision to make

    Ryker's Workshop, 1 a.m It's been two days since Alvin visited, and he couldn't stop thinking about it. Tonight also, while others slept, he remained wide awake, considering his options. The night was especially hot despite the cooling system. He was lying shirtless in bed, in his arms was a smiling Xinara sleeping without a care in the world. She was dressed in sheer white lingerie that seemed to cover her body while hiding nothing. Xinara's arm was coiled around Ryker's chest like a barnacle, as if afraid he would run away the moment she closed her eyes. He sighed, stroking her back absentminded. His eyes drifted worriedly to her, then at the picture of his family on the bed stand. He sighed again, a lot was going through his mind. What if Alvin didn't approach him with honest intentions? If it doesn't work out or they fall out mid way, would he come after his people? A light blinking on the night stand attracted his attention. His phone was ringing. Carefully, he dise

  • order from the dark venerable

    Dark island Like before, in the ghastly hall, the undead sentinels stood in rows. Strings of blood energy from the unknown ore suspended above a volcano formed hexagons which floated before their chests. On the throne carved from an unknown black stone, was the white haired Lord Min. He was wearing a special cloak which concealed his cultivation and current state of his body. His face was also covered to prevent others from seeing the terrible state he was in. Their organization was a dog eat dog type, if anyone notices he's not in top condition, they might gang up to try their luck. So that they could kill him and replace his spot. Although he was fairly confident of smacking down oppositions, he would rather not stress himself with the current state of his body. Lord Min's heart was filled with bitterness. Even after five days, he had not recovered from the ordeal caused by the problematic blood silk worms. He nearly suffered qi deviation, watching helplessly as some p

  • kitchen disaster

    Soon, the energy settled down, healing all his old wounds and internal injuries he never told anyone about. For example, the wound from the metal spike during a street fight where he was ambushed on his way back from the Wright garage. Although the surface healed, leaving only a scar, deep inside, he knew that something was damaged, but couldn't bear to pay for a full body checkup when there were people who needed the money at home. So he convinced himself it was a tissue scar, and continued to endure. Unexpectedly, his chance encounter with Alvin made him whole. Other wounds and unnoticed sequelaes were erased. He felt more energetic, whole, and peaceful than he had in a very long time. He realized that the mysterious man truly didn't lie to him. It was even better than he initially thought. The healing was comprehensive, not just surface injuries. A new light began to ignite in his heart… it was hope. Hope that his sister could indeed make full recovery. He dialed a numbe

  • Definitely a magic trick

    Ryker watched Xinara run out, towards the outdoor kitchen, and a small smile appeared on his face, full of doting affection. “Lovestruck fool.” Percy shuddered as he watched the scene before him. Ryker gave him a side eye. “It's because you're too ugly to find a girlfriend.” Percy’s expression changed instantly, and he glared daggers at him. Ryker looked away, pretending not to notice. He motioned towards another apprentice walking past while eating a sugarcane. “Ken, go check on little Xin. Watch her so she doesn't set the kitchen on fire. Help her light the gas. Be subtle about it, don't let her notice you're there to help.” Ken made a salute sign towards him, and turned to obey. He was slightly chubby, but cute. He was also intelligent and fiercely loyal. Half of Ryker's apprentices were older than he was, but it never stopped them from showing him the respect he deserved. He was that kind of person that commanded prestige wherever he went. Ryker was close to his subordi

  • Taking a gamble

    “Do you think he will reach out to you?” Tiffany asked as they hit the road. “Who knows?” Alvin shrugged. “I guess I need to be optimistic.” “He will.” Alvin turned to look at Qin Li who just spoke and smiled. Tiffany looked at them through the mirror. “Why do you think so? He made himself pretty clear earlier. More importantly, he seems like the principled and rigid type that are very inflexible. The type that says no and stands by it.” Qin Li wiped the make-up Tiffany put on him with a facial cleanser and wipes, breathing out a sigh of relief. “Well, he's the stubborn principled type who would rather break than bend. I totally agree. For himself, he wouldn't, especially because it's obvious that whatever Alvin was recruiting him to do would be dangerous. But for his sick sister, he will take any chances. While he's a guy toughened by years of hardship and trying to survive on the streets, he's also very family oriented, with a strong sense of responsibility towards the peop
