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.

    In just one hour, authenticated videos exposing Fred and Sonya's evil deeds flooded the internet. Fans kept digging up videos of the both harassing employees, doing drugs and bullying others. As for Carter and Coleman companies, their shares became useless. Coleman had it worse because they were owing brands breach of contract penalties. Workers kept resigning and denouncing them on social media to prevent being attacked and ostracized by others. Alvin helpfully used an anonymous account to upload videos of Sonya engaging in foursomes after acting all cute with Fred. All the videos Tiffany gathered over the past few weeks were gathered and spread on the internet. It was shameless, despicable and below the belt, but Alvin didn't care. Since they did him dirty without remorse, he would equally dish the same out to them. News of what happened to Alvin and his previous marriage with Sonya filled the internet with his former colleagues at the bar being interviewed, confirming that he

  • The gift of people

    JC entertainment, chairman’s office. Howard Coleman was boiling. The PR team stood before him, tablets in hand, all cowering and panicking. He slammed his palm against the desk, fuming. “How could such a thing happen?”Fred's manager rushed in at that moment, and Howard looked up, his eyes blazing with fury. He hurled a metal award at the manager, catching him squarely on the temple. The injury ran from his eye brow, down to his ear, and blood instantly began to pump out. “You stupid mutt. Why do I pay you all that money if not to prevent this kind of problem from cropping up? You stood there like a fool while his career hit rock bottom.”The manager who had been running around the media, denying the crimes and asking the media to have patience, that they will soon send out an official press release to give an explanation to the fans, instantly felt offended, bile filling his belly. His suit was soaked with rotten egg, flour and sour grapes which the angry fans had attacked him w

  • YOU'VE HIT ROCK BOTTOM

    Sonya quickly rushed to grab Fred. Things were getting out of hand, and the more he acted up, the worse the evidence stacked against them, making it hard to deny. Alvin stood there ‘frozen’. His eyes wide, mouth slightly open. He turned and ran, leaving the stage in a perfect show of humiliation. “Quick! Capture it. That was number fifty-four. That was number fifty-four.”“My goodness! Did you see his body?”“Jesus! It was riddled with varying degrees of injuries.”“How could such people exist? How can humans be so cruel? The police stormed the venue at that moment, in the company of Rex's head of security. Sonya immediately turned to run. Her heels cracked and broke into two, sending her hurtling straight against the piano. Blood splattered everywhere, her leg twisting into an unnatural shape. She gritted her teeth, trying to pull herself up and make a quick escape before the police could get close enough. A second group of policemen coming from backstage blocked her. “Miss So

  • TEARING DOWN THE ILLUSION

    Fred felt the world collapsing on his shoulders, his vision began to waver and crack. There were bumps on his face due to the mild beating he received before the guards could get there. He rushed to the microphone. “Please, calm down everyone. I didn't plagiarize any song.”“Are you saying SW entertainment would stoop low to meddle with an insignificant company? Who is Mystery? He has been releasing top songs back to back. Are you suggesting he would plagiarize your songs?”One of his assistants rushed to him with his phone, his father had been calling him ever since they received the court papers. “This is a trap. I haven't even sung the songs for a full minute, yet the papers have already been delivered, as if they have been waiting.” He muttered, his hands shaking as he went through the tons of notification. “Young master, the chairman asked us to take you away while it blows over.”In less than five minutes, all major media channels had carried the news that Fred the Savage was

  • Snapping the traps into place

    The confident smile on Fred's face was smug at best, when viewed through another lens, it transcribed to arrogance and condescension. He took the mic, basking in the cheer of the spectators. “It's my honor to stand before you all today. Truthfully, before now, I had a haunch that I would make it to the finals, but didn't dare to be too hopeful. The journey has been long, filled with trials and temptations, through it all, I have been blessed with the gift of amazing people who held my hand.”As he spoke, his gaze darted beside the stage where Sonya now stood, waiting for her moment of glory. Cheers erupted from fans who were shipping them together, chanting their ship name. “All through this journey I have learned that hard work, honesty and perseverance surely pays off in the long run. To all the fans who have been walking with me, no matter when you joined us, you have all my gratitude.”The organizers pressed the bell, reminding him to be conscious of time. Other contestants wer

  • Rejoicing too soon

    Alvin barely managed to maintain his balance using his unnatural flexibility. He wheezed out a sigh of relief and turned to Murong Wuque who was standing up, glaring at him with eyes full of anger. “Damn, man! You can't even take a joke. What if I had hit my head on the wall and my skull split open?” “Then you should die and be done with it. I've never met anyone as annoying as you are. You…” He was pointing at Alvin, his face slightly red, hand trembling. “Boring.” Alvin ignored him and replaced him on the sofa, pretending not to see Tiffany who was watching them in a mix of shock, horror and anticipation. “Boss, it didn't look like you were…” Tiffany signalled with her two fingers. “Playing around like friends.” She bit her lips and looked away. “Your eyes were burning, it seemed as if you wanted to eat him up. Boss, are you sure you're not gay?” Alvin kept silent so she continued. “Since I met you, I've never seen you messing around with women like other rich young mast
