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.

  • Doing evil without remorse

    “You’ve gone crazy. If I do that, I’ll never be able to sing again, while you continue to release my songs and enjoy my sweat. Dream on. I’ll never do it.”Sonya chuckled.“Oh? The church rat is still dreaming of making it big as a star. You were born a penniless scum, and that’s what you’ll be forever.”The guards laughed as if they’d heard the funniest thing ever. Fred smiled, a condescending glint in his eyes, exuding infinite arrogance. “My JC Entertainment will never let you go anywhere. Bring the music sheets and recordings tomorrow—this place, same time. Otherwise, hmph.”“Just kill me then. Once is enough. I won’t let you profit off me again.”Alvin pushed himself to a standing position, his eyes defiant as he stared back at them.“You lack talent and are mediocre. You only rely on your family’s connections to kill and bully others. Hard work is one thing you’ll never subject yourself to. You want things already made, to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. Admit it—you’re not

  • Narrow road for enemies

    “You've worked hard,” the special assistant prepared for Alvin after his second hit performance, said, offering him a bottle of spring water.Alvin smiled and nodded. He noticed the presence of someone lurking behind the curtain, and his lips curled up, an imperceptible smirk hard to notice.Unlike his normal pattern, he slowly removed his mask and drank some water. The assistant smiled. “What a handsome face. Isn't it a waste to hide it behind that mask?”Without waiting for his answer, she rushed off to her next task. Alvin slipped his phone into his pocket and turned to the door with a huge smile. Today, he didn't come with a backpack to avoid losing precious manuscripts. Or rather, because he expected something to occur. The moment he turned to the door, he froze in the motion of trying to pull over his hoodie. The smile on his face dissipated, replaced by ‘profound horror’.Sonya smirked and waved at him.“Hello there, ex. Did you miss me?”That was all the prompt Alvin needed.

  • Destined to be your slave?

    The crowd’s cheer was defeaning. The moment the Star Search organizers announced the entrance of number fifty-four on stage, the crowd went crazy. His two previous showcases were lit, and today, there were even more guests, despite the slight hike in tickets. The organizers being the business people they were didn't hesitate to rip off their clients by taking advantage of his popularity. There have been many speculations on who the mysterious number fifty-four could be, and why he always wore a mask, unwilling to show his face. Some said he was the heir of a rich family, chasing his dreams and hiding from his billionaire parents who wanted him to join the family business. Others say he might be a veteran superstar’s son. Some others say he could be an underground musician. The instant Alvin came on stage, the spectators went crazy, waving banners and light sticks to cheer him on. He shut his eyes, taking deep breaths. ‘Yes, this is it. The stage is my home. Although it took me to

  • Be my master

    Alvin patted Murong Wuque's arm, subtly holding him back. “How about you let me handle this?”Alvin looked around the room. In addition to the Shi siblings, Tiffany, Elena, Leah, Martha, Amanda, Sam and Joe were present. Alvin sighed, knowing what he was about to say wouldn't be easy. “As some of you may know, I'm a special forces secret agent. And I messed with a big time evil organization that is searching for me, and Oliver too. Staying here with me is a risk, especially for the rest of you that do not know anything about self defense.”He paused, giving time for his words to sink in. “So far, the days have been peaceful, and I have been able to hold them away. But no one knows how long it will last. If you have some misgivings, or you think such magnitude of danger isn't something you can endure, you're welcome to leave now. I won't stop you, nor will there be any resentment.”Alvin’s words seemed to have surprised everyone because none of them moved. “Instead of you falling

  • Petty man

    The tension in the house was thick enough to be cut with a knife. Each kept staring at the other with suspicion. Qian Ling stepped forward, a strained smile on his face. “People, can we think about this clearly? This is a lifetime decision that wouldn't affect just the lives of all involved, but also their health. In a case where the master whom the oath was sworn to catch a terminal illness or curse, the others would be affected, and there would be none to save the other.”Murong Wuque moved to a sofa and made himself comfortable. “The root cause of all these problems is that we do not trust one another. Right now, powerful enemies abound, and a greedy person might decide to sell others out for benefits.”He paused and looked at Alvin. “I'm not worried about myself—people strong enough to kill me are nearly nonexistent. How about the rest? Little Oliver here is a mere mortal, yet he's being targeted so. His elder sister isn't much different.”“Doing this will indeed breed resentme

  • Drawing the line

    Sam led Amanda and Shi Meng Ying into the sitting room. Shi Yue shouted in excitement and immediately rushed to hug Meng Ying. “Meng Ying jie, you're finally out.” Alvin rolled his eyes. Tiffany often sneaked the detention room open while taking food to them whenever Alvin left the house, letting Amanda move around. As for Meng Ying, they didn't dare to let her leave because she practiced martial arts and could run away after overpowering them. But they still allowed Shi Yue to go accompany her to watch movies and play games. Tiffany equally grabbed Amanda's arm and winked at her, while Elena offered them a subtle nod. “How dramatic.” He rolled his eyes, suppressing the urge to call them out on their ‘reunion’ act and inform them that he had been keeping an eye on the house through the surveillance cameras at home. “Alright, enough now. It's been more than two weeks, I believe you've had enough time to reflect.” Amanda nodded, pouting. Alvin chuckled and pinched her nose,
