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.

  • Taking the hard path

    Three hours before Murong Wuque called Qin Li Watching Alvin’s pulse disappear was like a dagger straight to his heart. He didn't wait. He didn't have time to think. He moved fast. His formation discs appeared, and he set up a soul trapping array, preventing Alvin's consciousness from dissipating. Then came the soul binding array. Murong Wuque felt a sharp stab on his chest, then his spirit sea. His bond with Alvin had cracked, dissipating. Forcefully trying to repair it might lead to Murong Wuque losing his divine emperor cultivation, or ending up with a damaged spiritual consciousness himself. But he didn't stop to consider these. He couldn't. The outline of Alvin's soul appeared above the bed, but it seemed to be asleep…luckily. If his soul was awake, he would be considered truly dead, and ready to cross over. Murong Wuque opened a jade box, revealing a black ring. The most powerful artifact in his possession. The stone of divinity. The stone had numerous abilities. The

    He seemed ready for a fight, turning the atmosphere more tense than it already was. “Qin Li, what do you mean? Aren't you going too far?” Shi Qian Ling said, his face contorting into a furious scowl. Shi Meng Ying grabbed his arm, shaking her head at him. Trinity stepped forward first. She removed her ear plugs, digital watch, and phone, placing it into the basket at Qin Li’s feet. She equally unplugged her laptop from the wall socket, and dropped it. Leah looked at Qin Li, her lips trembling. “My brother didn't make it…” Qin Li looked away, ignoring his question. Sam shook his head wryly. Indeed, wealthy people were eccentric. He stepped forward and dropped his ear plug, watch and phone into the basket. Then she looked at Qin Li. “As for my other gadgets, they're in my room.” Shi Yue stepped forward, and dropped hers. Amanda followed. She looked at her phone hesitantly, then at Qin Li. “The rest are in my room.” Martha dipped her hand into her apron, and brought out h

  • Igniting chaos

    Qin Li walked into the villa with heavy steps, his face wrinkled to lines. Most of them had calmed down, just waiting with hints of sorrow. Shi Meng Ling held a pale Shi Yue, patting her back softly. As for Martha she stood aside, not knowing who to comfort. The moment they saw Qin Li, Elena stood up, her eyes reddish. “Young master Qin, how's our boss?” Leah looked up, listless. She didn't know what to say. Her heart felt tight, and numb. Like someone pressed pause on her feelings. Qin Li opened his mouth, and closed it again. Then he sighed. His heavy expression made the situation all the more suspicious. His eyes moved between them. Even Sam was present. He had rushed in after hearing the commotion. Everyone looked so innocent and devastated. How could there be a spy here? How could someone here have anything other than good will towards Alvin. Who was it? Who exactly was it? “Brother Qin…” Oliver prompted again. “Alvin he… well…mmm.” He sighed again. Leah's face

    Leah trembled, her knees going weak. Shi Wei inhaled sharply. While Shi Meng Ying hurried to support Shi Yue. Trinity shook her head, waving her hand before her as if trying to chase away the bad energy. “It's not possible. He's so powerful. How could anyone subdue him?” Leah finally screamed, and Elena's eyes turned misty. “What did you do to my brother?” Murong Wuque stayed silent, not saying a word. “Qin Li, are there other people with you in the room?” “First brother…” Qin Li stuttered. He felt an invisible hand clench around his heart. If this was celestial realm, this could have made sense. But here… this is earth… a planet for mortals. Alvin was one of the strongest. How could it be that easy to hurt him? How could he die? It didn't make sense. Never will. Just last week, he had gone night fishing with Alvin, with him reassuring Qin Li that he was working hard on the portal. In no distant time, he would be able to send them home. How could something like this happen?

    VILLA NUMBER SEVEN “It's already nine, and the boss isn't home yet. Could something have gone wrong?” Trinity asked, coming to sit on the arm of the couch. She was dressed in a baby pink colored satin robe, a cup of coffee in her hands. Shi Yue, whose face was covered with a light shawl, sat up, pushing it aside. Leah and Trinity who were opposite her screamed in fright, their hearts pounding a mile a minute. The scream made others turn to them. Amanda and Martha who was carrying in a tray equally screamed. Shi Meng Ying only gasped, staring at Shi Yue with wide eyes. “What happened to you?” Martha hurried towards her, rushing to hold her. Shi Yue shook her head, unable to form coherent words. Her eyes were black and sunken, with dark circles around them. Her hair seemed tousled. The spotless Shi Yue seemed a mess. The Shi brothers who went for a duel entered at that moment. “I don't know. I suddenly felt very exhausted and agitated early this morning. My heart cou

  • don't leave me

    Murong Wuque reappeared in the courtyard of a secluded villa. The villa was massive, located in the middle of a deserted forest area. The walls rose high, layered with protective formations. It was one of his secluded properties perfect for a hideout. In just a short period, he had built a powerful empire on earth, through strategic connections and the strength of his arms. Alvin was still breathing, but it came faint and labored. Murong Wuque examined both their bodies for tags, trackers or enchanted bugs. Finding none, he made his way inside. He stopped at the portico, and threw his head back, letting the doors capture his face. “Welcome home master.” The reinforced tungsten alloy doors slid open, ushering him in. He diverted to the room just after the door, and flicked a switch. Hot air swept over the both of them, sterilizing, removing any toxin or virus that might have followed them from the cursed lab. Not satisfied yet, he lowered Alvin on the couch present th
