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 burden too heavy

    EARTH, VILLA NUMBER SEVEN It's been weeks since Murong Wuque fell out with Alvin. He was still sleeping on the water bed close to his makeshift workstation. He was still taking care of Aurelio like he was being paid to do it. Aurelio seemed to be getting closer to him with every waking day. Now Aurelio could sit up for prolonged periods, or try to grab things to stand. The spirit fruits and nutrients they were feeding him with was finally paying off, making him develop faster than most children his age. They seemed to have settled into a silent routine. Murong Wuque stays with the kid at night, while Alvin attends to whatever it was that needed his attention. Once it was nine in the morning, after he would have rested a bit, Murong Wuque would leave to go attend to his own schedule. Over the past few weeks, Alvin had moved his soldiers to the military district of their now completed permanent base. For weeks, the malice and silent treatment continued, not saying a word to

  • went berserk

    Su Mei's eyes went to the person in black hiding in the shadows and a faint smirk touched her lips but it was gone the next second, before anyone else could notice. Instead, she multiplied the expression of agony on her face, as if she was at the verge of death. The low melodious sound of a flute being played announced the arrival of Zhang Chen, his white robes fluttering in the morning air, the sun illuminating his features. The sound was calming and soothing to the ears, yet carried an undeniable force and pressure. He landed close to Su Mei who was currently floating mid air, his eyes fixed on Yuwen Ruohan. Yuwen Ruohan turned to him, eyes filled with hatred and bloodlust. He raised his other hand towards Zhang Chen, as if to attack him. Almost immediately, Yuwen Ruohan screamed out, agony wracking through his chest. Xi Meng Yao’s needles shot out the moment Yuwen Ruohan's attention split, targeting the acupoints on his arm. His blood and energy flow to the hand attack

  • A good show to watch

    Su Mei’s eyes went wide with shock. She rushed towards the girl, heart pounding erratically. “What's going on? Could she also be a demonic arts practitioner?” “Impossible! Qinghe isn't that kind of person.” Yuwen Ruohan scoffed. Good. More casualties. This would strengthen his case. The girl opened her mouth and a black bead burst out from her throat. Almost immediately, light burst out and the same memories from earlier began to show. “What's going on?” “What just happened here?” Su Mei slowly squatted before the girl, and picked up the black bead. Before their eyes the so-called bead morphed into a bug. Su Mei's eyes went wide. “Demon bugs.” “Isn't that bondage bug? Used by demonic cultivators to trap unsuspecting people and turn them to slaves once the bug matured?” “How come such a thing is in her body?” Chu Feng came closer to Su Mei. “Could it be because of First brother’s aura on the crystal? After he became a divine emperor every item with his aura natural

  • Harming oneself

    Yuwen Ruohan smiled broadly at the reaction of the students, and he threw his head back, a savage smirk splitting his face. ‘That’s right. Tremble. Be horrified. So that when I eventually tear them apart, you all will be right there to fetch the fire.’ “Chu Feng didn’t just use the resources of Wu-Express and Jade Palace for nefarious and personal purposes,” he declared, voice ringing with feigned righteousness. “He also used the powers it accorded him to hurt and kill others. Before this tumor spreads, we have to ensure they hand over Wu-Express, and properly sanction them to prevent a repeat.” The students kept staring at him as if they’d seen a ghost. He frowned. That wasn’t right. By now, they should be cheering him on, calling for Jade Palace to be exterminated. Why weren’t they screaming in outrage? He turned around to check the memory playing, and his face went white in an instant. The video from the memory crystal showed him sucking the girls’ blood with vampire fan

  • unexpected turn

    The elder's words stunned everyone, but Su Ying chuckled. “Some people truly go to every extent. This valley has turned into a joke.” Yuwen Ruohan turned to the guards with him. “Apprehend student Su Ying for questioning. Then move on to the jade palace for a thorough search of their demonic artefacts.” The guards moved to grab Su Ying. Chu Feng's sword rotated in his grasp still sheathed, and he blocked their advance with a casual placement of his arm. His face was blank, eyes colder than igloos. Su Ying looked up at him, surprised. Her heart felt surprisingly warm. Finally seeing someone jump before her to protect her, not just because it was his duty, but because he thought she was special was quite heartwarming. “Attacking guards and obstructing justice, your crime really does keep piling up on top of the other.” The elder barked, eyes glowing as if little volcanoes were hidden behind them. Perhaps it was the hatred boiling inside him. Yuwen Ruohan sucked his teeth and in

  • a well laid trap

    Students were whispering in hushed tones, absolutely horrified by the terrifying nature of the corpses. “This was definitely done by a demonic cultivator. They mustn't be let off.” Chu Feng muttered. “Jade palace disciples have gone against the teachings of the ancestors, guards, hear my order.” Yuwen Ruohan’s voice boomed. Su Mei chuckled. “Yuwen Ruohan, are you certain that these corpses were the handiwork of the jade palace disciples?” The students' murmurs kept increasing in intensity, eyes filled with suspicion and speculation. “It's impossible. Even without the First brother here, we will never disgrace his legacy. Someone definitely dumped the bodies here with bad intentions to frame us!” A jade palace disciple shouted. Many people equally thought there were discrepancies, but didn't dare to voice them out. The situation was quite delicate. No one knew where the next sword would point to. This sort of thing, silence pays better. Wisdom was profitable to direct. Yuw
