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.

  • playing a fast one

    Alvin searched through his inventory and found a little energy pill suitable for babies. It was just like vitamins, filling and milky. He wore sterile gloves on top of his black leather gloves, and one of the capsules appeared in his hand. He would have loved to feed the baby with milk, but he couldn't carry the child up without others noticing. He was invisible, the baby wasn't. Later, once it was safer, he would find something better for the kid to drink. But for now, this would have to do. It was a special elixir he made from the water of a divine tree. It was different from other spiritual trees and fruits in the sense that it was mild, and slow acting, suitable for babies. It released nutrients over a long period of time, preventing bloating and energy deviating, which might lead to complications. He tiptoed towards the baby, careful not to brush against the people chatting around the table. He looked around, making sure no one was paying attention to the child and adj

  • lab of abomination 2

    Alvin adjusted his position, carefully avoiding being seen by the combat master. His heart was pounding, the statue gave him a weird feeling like it was alive. The first box was carried down, then the second. The other man in military gears also came around to help. “Is this all you found?” The woman in the white scrub asked, going to check the bundle in the nurse's arm. “Yes, Becky. Nowadays, it's harder to find gifted kids in the uptown area. However, this baby has a saint rank physique, and I think there should be a martial soul. Definitely a nice potential mutant warrior.” “His blood smells nice.” The Becky in white lab coat replied, opening the shawl. The moment she touched the baby, the child began to cry as if he knew the devil was close by. “Oh, shut the fuck up, you stupid little thing” Becky said with an eye roll. “If I hear your voice again, you will get it from me.” Then she turned to the nurse. “Don't you think that he would make a nice little sacrifice? He a

  • lab of abomination 1

    Alvin exhaled in relief the moment they peacefully passed the checkpoint. He was conscious of his surroundings, the yin aura was especially powerful. There were patrols moving around, watchfully keeping an eye out. However, they seemed visibly relaxed, as if they weren't watching for outsiders. It was impenetrable, no one was foolish enough to slip in to die. Except Alvin who had a death wish. “System, give me a run down of the mission requirements, create a map and circle out the targets.” “Master, the dark aura here is too powerful. I can't see far or access some areas. The spiritual ward is too powerful.” Alvin nearly cursed out. What kind of bullshit was this? If it couldn't investigate when he already brought it inside, what was he supposed to do? This fortress was as big as an entire city. Was he supposed to go from building to building, knocking on doors and asking which one was the right lab? He was sure there were at least more than four labs with different purpose

  • OPPORTUNITY

    Outside the fortress. Alvin still lay low, close to the fenced perimeter. This place wasn't safe and he felt someone watching him. But each time after investigation, he saw no one. Almost as if a powerful master was using his spiritual consciousness to sweep over the fortress. After some thought, Alvin made a decision. “It seems like I will have to use those forbidden techniques.” He had made a vow to himself not to practice dark arts, but at this point, there seemed to be no other choice. Dark arts used yin aura, and this place had it in abundance. However, it tainted the soul with darkness. If one didn't have a strong will, they might get addicted to the fast power upgrade it offered, going deeper and deeper into the practice till they fell into the dark path, using the most forbidden methods to advance, not minding people who might be killed, or the laws of nature defied. The library the stone-egg from Medicine sage valley's forbidden zone asked him to take with him contain

  • Bad fate

    On hearing ‘A visitor’, the sentinel's head snapped up. This place was far away from normal civilization, and they had used their people in government to ward off common people, turning the area into a forbidden zone. Besides, it was night when desert monsters were the most active, how could there be someone stupid enough to enter the black owl citadel? Especially with Lord Ning awake? Probably, the person didn't know he had come out from his secluded cultivation. Still, it didn't make sense. “Ah!” A thought occurred to the sentinel and he looked at Lord Ning. “My Lord, a team was sent to replenish provisions for the human team heading the transformation elixir research. It could be them returning.” The corner of Lord Ning’s lip turned up in a disdainful smirk. “Is that so?” He didn't believe it one bit. But he was too lazy to check. He wasn't the type to volunteer for thankless jobs. If someone wanted to spy on them, so what? With the measures set in place, the person could onl

  • Demon King, Lord Ning

    Dark owl secondary base interior. Deep inside the base, there was a tower. Ten feet below it, a creature was chained with gigantic chains made from an unknown metal. The creature was a giant humongous being that seemed like part orc part goblin. It had two sharp protruding teeth, and green slime was pouring steadily out of its body. It took up more that seventy percent of the room, and was chained between three massive pillars. Behind him was a huge blood sigil runic circle carved into the wall. The outer part of the formations carved on the wall behind the creature looked like a containment/ restriction array due to its shape. But the inner part filled with blood hexagons and rune carvings made it seem like a forbidden formation used to fire up the creature and make it more ferocious. There were also rune carvings on the pillar. Light glowed on the floor beneath the creature, exposing a formation similar to the one behind it. However, the formation on the ground was mainly c
