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.

  • who is the thief

    The ambiguous expression startled her, and even if she was clueless about the emotions between men and women, she could understand that he wanted to kiss her. The current was fully charged and even the others noticed the sexual tension in the air. Murong Wuque cleared his throat. “Erm! I know you love her so much, but have pity on us, the lonely ones. Stop serving us dog food.” “If you are that really turned on, take her to your quarters and stop making me more miserable than I already am.” Murong Wuque added. “Uh oh, it's about to go down.” Zhang Xiao Wei muttered under his breath, looking at Chu Feng who got his mood ruined. Murong Wuque gave him a side glare, silently warning him on saying dirty things. “Look how dirty minded you are, don't corrupt us the pure ones. You're just a teenager, but you seem to know a lot of getting up and going down.” Yang Yang said and coughed. Murong Wuque gave him a side eye. “Pure one my foot. Yang Yang, in this room, you're the only

  • joys of friendship

    The person feeling the worst was Murong Wuque. His hands remained awkwardly by his side. Then there was Chu Feng who stood silently, watching them with a mixture of pain, jealousy and heartache. Murong Wuque sighed and wrapped his arm around her, patting her back to console her. Their compromising situation, with her chest rubbing against his due to how tight she was hugging him was the least of her problems. She didn't even notice their proximity or feel turned on, even though she had been dying to hold him like that. But all she felt was pain and fear. “I was so afraid. I… I..” She began to cry again, loudly sobbing and hiccuping, her face buried in his chest. “Silly child. You're such a big baby, aren't I alright? Nothing will happen.” He whispered and kissed her hair, tucking a stray strand behind her ear. She soon quieted down under his soft whispers, and reassurances, only sobbing softly instead of her loud cries. Xi Meng Yao walked in at that moment and saw them; her

  • YOU TOUCHED MANY LIVES

    There was another girl standing by the entrance of his quarters, but she did not enter because she's not part of Jade palace. But the guards let her in because they recognized her as one of the people who often receives teachings from Murong Wuque. She was Xia He, the one who got the treasured crystal Murong Wuque, his friends, and Alvin brought back from the quest. She stood by the door, not leaving, not entering as she watched the building in the distance. Other disciples were equally outside Jade palace, but the guards were not letting anyone else enter. After a while, they began to disperse, deciding to come back later in the evening. Meanwhile, the elders council were having another meeting. ***** Murong Wuque’s room, bathing chambers. “Eww! These clothes are basically ruined.” Xiao Wei muttered. Murong Wuque smiled. “Just trash them when I pull it off. They have jinxed it. And it's one of my favorite clothes.” “My blood is precious though, burn it immediately, don'

  • Making of a legendary king

    Murong Wuque chuckled and looked at the elder. “I won't hand them over. If I don't find the treasures and you want to break my legs, go ahead. I will also step down and make way for another person.” When he said another person, he turned to look at Yuwen Ruohan. Many people caught the meaning and immediately sneered. “You better remember the words you just said.” “You may leave.” Elder Wen added. A huge cheer went out in the crowd. Hundreds of people were chanting his name. “First brother, we love you!” “With or without the title, you're our only First brother.” “First brother, you are always our only first brother.” “Other people are not worthy. Those that want to hurt you should look in the mirror and see the face of a loser.” “We don't need the title. You're the only First brother we acknowledge.” “Only Murong Wuque is our first brother.” “First brother, we love you.” Murong Wuque looked at the elders, making sure they and the people over there saw his face.

  • PROVING A POINT

    “No, look closely. The name there is Murong Min Ren. Murong Wuque’s grandfather.” “Jeez. He's one of the top four immortal emperors in the world. And Murong Wuque is his favorite grandson.” “Wherever the imperial pardon decree appears, all beings must accept and lower their heads. They have no other option than to submit. Otherwise, they would be disrespecting an immortal emperor.” “Even if they want to continue, do they have the ability? All of us are on our knees, how can they continue to beat him?” “That pressure! So this is the power of an immortal emperor.” “But where is he? I can't see him.” “He's not here, only his seal.” “Only the seal! A mere seal can have this kind of power? I can't even move my fingers. Doesn't it mean that if he's here in person, everyone will collapse and die.” “Crap, and the elders’ council dared to offend such a person. If he flies into a rage, he will flatten the entire medicine sage valley.” “It seems First brother’s vitality has been severe

  • RUTHLESS BEYOND WORDS

    Everyone held their breath, but he didn't flinch or cry out. He knelt there like a block of stone, with no reaction whatsoever. The third, then fourth. His back was filled by red welts which were quickly swelling up. By the tenth strike, his skin burst open and blood splattered on both the platform, the guard, and vine, dripping down to his white silk trousers. People screamed simultaneously the moment the blood splattered. It fell again and on the raw flesh, this time smoke began to come out of his body, and his breath caught in his throat, “Oh my god! The poison has made contact with raw flesh. It is burning him up.” The lash fell again, and again, and again. All Murong Wuque did was open his mouth and take huge gulps of air. Twentieth strike, he was still kneeling, his back ramrod straight. More smoke had covered the surface of his back, and his skin had begun to change color from the poison. Fiftieth strike, he finally trembled and spat out blood. People screamed again
