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.

  • A HOME FILLED WITH WARMTH

    Over the next four days, Alvin spent it auditing Empire group, queens group, Ascension Airlines, and Oceania hotels belonging to him. He did all with his face covered to prevent someone connecting him to the chairman of SW entertainment. Queens group had a little corruption, Empire group was slightly okay with most employees doing their parts and only stealing by adding a little extra to goods while selling to high profile clients. But Ascension airlines had quite a few unqualified staff and corrupt spies. Like in SW, he made a mass re-examination, chasing away those that couldn't pass the exams. All the incompetent employees that got in by connection were let off. This sparked a wave of change in the industry. Many CEOs also carried out audits in their companies, with most discovering huge discrepancies that would have torn their empire down. The labor market saw a huge change. Many people already working became unemployed or demoted overnight, and lots of unemployed fresh g

  • Playing the good man

    For a moment, Alvin’s eyes darkened, his jaw twitching. It was very brief, but the camera caught it. Murong Wuque gave him a squeeze, a silent reminder to stay sane. After a while Alvin laughed. “Um, I don't really know the answer you expected. But I will be honest.” “I never fabricated evidence in any situation. I admit, I intentionally hid my true abilities because I wanted to gather evidence of what they did to me. I was also healing from trauma. Every evidence tendered, before and now, were truths, nothing but the truth according to investigations made.” He paused and forced a smile. “Did I want to make a scapegoat of Lily? Negative publicity is never a good thing for companies. Why would I risk my company to create a ruse? The effort it takes to make an audit spanning multiple years, lawsuits and recovery of debts, I'm sure even people not in business understand. However, I won't let evil continue before my eyes, especially not in my turf.” “All I did was drag SW b

  • WAR OF WORDS

    All over the headlines were news about Dolcy studios facing lawsuits. They had denied all relationships with Lily, but the evidence was staggering. There were rumors that their company was going through an internal conflict because of the scandal. Director Britney wasn't let off either. He had to surrender two percent of his three percent shares to pay for damages. Alvin had helpfully paid for it in cash and injected it back to the company. He hadn't wanted to let go of the shares in his hands, but Alvin and Gavin Sinclair, the lawyer the system found to prosecute them, made it impossible for him to raise cash from any other sources, forcing him to sell his shares to Alvin to leave police custody. Katarina sold her villa, and her wealthy fianceé helped her raise money for the rest, getting her out of jail. The only one stuck was Lily, her beloved Daniel Colby didn't want to get involved, more concerned about protecting his own interests. The lawsuit was out in full swing and

  • filling the cracks

    “I…” She began to say. Alvin raised his hand. “You don't need to say anything. It's decided. Once you get into the role, I'm sure you'll find your job quite enjoyable.” He then turned to Elena. “Prepare the employment contract. Add these: no one can fire her casually, except in the situation where she's made a grave mistake affecting the company and its people. Also, any amount embezzled would be paid back three times when discovered.” The staff in the room were shocked on hearing this. This office seemed prestigious at the surface but it was actually a fiery pit. “I knew it. You were looking for whom to push to hell.” Mireille muttered. Alvin smiled. “I don't think there's any reason for you to be upset. I have plans to give you an apartment, a car, and wardrobe allowance. There’s still your attractive salary. You're not losing out… unless.” He paused and slowly stood up, his eyes trained on Mireille's face as if trying to dissect something, slowly inching forth. A few cent

  • MIREILLE

    Alvin smiled, hoping he looked warm enough to dispel whatever suspicions she might hold towards him due to the multiple rumors swirling around. She didn't bow like others, her shoulders were squared, jaw held high, having that aristocratic pride radiating from her in waves.Alvin’s eyes slightly narrowed. “Miss Jonathan, the way you stare at me, do you have a misunderstanding about me? Or have we clashed before?” Mireille barely suppressed an eye roll. Although the movement was so brief, the vigilant Alvin still caught it before she stopped herself. “How do you want me to look at you, chairman Kent?” She took a step closer, and bent slightly to bring her face closer to Alvin's. “Like this?”Alvin was stunned by her boldness. She moved away the next second, and he gasped in anger. Murong Wuque grabbed his wrist, stopping him from saying anything. He hissed and kept quiet. She stepped back and shook her head. “If you expect me to pander to you and flatter you, I'm sorry, you got th

    Natalie wasn't the only one stunned, the rest were. Even Elena had dropped her current task to listen properly. “This.. This is indeed a very tough question.” She replied, her brows scrunched up in deep thoughts. After three minutes of silence, she shook her head. “I might obey the first time, due to panic and desperation. However, harming artists to protect my interest is something I will never do. If the situation turns dire, and there's no way out, I will have to find the chairman and come clean. His reaction will determine how things proceed.”Alvin nodded, sucking his teeth. “What if the chairman ends up being dismissive, and arrests you instead after coming clean? Or even twists the narrative to make you seem evil and ungrateful.”“Then I would have done my part. No matter how I get punished, at least my heart will be light. I would just need to find ways to send my family to safety. If having a good life involves hurting others, it's probably not worth it.”Alvin turned to Mu
