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.

  • Critical mission 5: Intercept the drugs

    The moment Alvin arrived in his dressing room, he punched a series of spots on the wall, and the eastern partition slid open, ushering him into his secret space. “System, give me details.”“A drug ring suspected to have connections to blood zone mafia groups and shadow abyss, an affiliate of the evil organization, just brought in a batch of contraband materials. If those drugs enter the country market, the results would be devastating. We suspect there are other evil items hidden therein. That's why we must not let the cargo reach the headquarters. Stop them and steal the consignment at all costs.”He exhaled a deep breath, feeling a volcano pound in his vein, throbbing wildly with raw need. He needed to feel alive and immerse himself in the thrill of danger. This was what he was born to do. What he's destined to shoulder. “Drug rings huh? This is the first time you've ever asked me to intercept drug packages. What changed? Or could it be that there hasn't been any drug ring in Amer

  • GAME PLAN

    EARTHVilla number seven. The moment Alvin stopped the formation, Murong Wuque teleported beside him, alongside Qin Li, at the other side of the formation. He then put up a barrier around it, protecting it from prying eyes, little animals, or winds that might damage it. “Is the formation base safe enough?” Murong Wuque whispered. Alvin nodded, not speaking to maintain double measures. In case the formation wasn't completely disconnected, and someone at the other end could still hear them, it will help if there's no strange voice nearby. Otherwise, their story will lose credibility. Once everything was secured, Alvin signalled to them, and they returned to the main house. The moment they arrived, they met Amanda and Tiffany who were anxiously pacing. Alvin turned to Murong Wuque. “Damn man, you're too good at acting.” He giggled and thumped Murong Wuque’s chest. “You kept refusing on the basis that you can't tell a lie. What convinced you to agree?”Murong Wuque scowled, grabbing

  • SOMETHING FISHY

    This edict immediately sent waves wracking through the crowd. Qin Li stepped forward. “In the place I was imprisoned, I discovered something. Someone was using the techniques First brother taught us to kill people. Among the floating memory shards from corpses encountered in that valley, there were two things I discovered.” Everyone listened attentively, even Yuwen Ruohan and his people. All wanted to know about the devastating incidents he encountered. “Someone wearing a grey cloak used First brother’s technique to harvest people. People outside don't know first brother personally, and only hear about his techniques, so seeing someone who uses his techniques makes the naive ones assume he's the one and fall victim.” “Henceforth, anyone caught using First brother’s techniques, or impersonating First brother, pretending to be him in any kind of way should be treated as a criminal. We must stop this evil before it goes far. Tell everyone that whoever pretends to be First brother

  • Attracting Empathy

    EARTH, Villa number seven. The connection went weak for a while. Just as they were losing hope, it came back with full force. A deep yearning activated it and upgraded it with better features. The desperation and faith attributes reading on the formation reached levels that shouldn't be possible in an instant, reminding Alvin the reason Murong Wuque is in a league of his own. It caused Murong Wuque to form an instant connection which defies every known law, enabling him to project an attack that crossed galaxies in an instant. The connection weakened after the attack, but the formation became solidly established, giving them a clear view of the other side. Murong Wuque knew the attack he blocked was from the valley master, despite feigning ignorance. After all, he could hear the voices even before the connection stabilized. The strange thing was that others couldn't hear it. Perhaps, it was because he was used as the core of the mirror formation. The killing intent he felt from

  • Something fishy

    Medicine Sage Valley; Ascension Pavillion. On hearing the excited shout, Yuwen Ruohan's heart stopped. The valley master, Yuwen Hao, was pushed back, his disc hitting his chest. He wobbled for a second but immediately regained his footing. The impact rattled his internal organs, causing him a little damage. His gaze sharpened, focusing on the blinding bright light illuminating the venue. Yuwen Hao retracted the disc immediately. If it's really Murong Wuque, he would detect the artifact's origin immediately. So what if he's back? He would only be returning to his gallows, to die faster. Chu Feng, Su Mei and the rest looked on in shock. Zhang Xiao Wei collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. The serpent punishing rod had suddenly turned to a ball of fire, shooting out of his hand to collide with the disc. It's obvious that the burst of power just experienced didn't come from him. Someone else, someone invisible, was controlling the serpent punishing rod. The serpent punishing

  • Blocked

    The sect master appeared on the roof of the northern building of the ascension Pavillion. He was dressed in black robes with a dragon pattern on it. He held a fan before him, partially shielding his face. The fan he held had a diagram depicted on it, showing darkness swallowing the sunlight. At first, it appeared to be the sunlight emerging from the dark night. But for those perceptive enough, it becomes darkness swallowing the light. “I have ignored it as you all ran amok in the Valley since I couldn't be bothered with petty matters. Yet all it did was make you bolder and lawless. If I don't teach you all a lesson, you will truly think you're the Valley master, not I, Yuwen Hao.” Su Mei, who had been breathing heavily, finally looked up at him. “According to the rule book, section 40 of the student conduct guide, Disciples are allowed to speak out when they see an event that goes against moral codes of conduct and laid down rules. When did speaking out against injustice becom
