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 LOT OF MESS TO CLEAN

    Cold sweat matted the surface of Alvin’s skin, and his heart began to pound erratically. No. It couldn't be. He recruited Ryker with promises of a better life and future. If he falls into danger because of him, he would never forgive himself. He took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. He gave himself pep talks, reminding himself he personally trained Ryker. Ryker was also incredibly intelligent, efficient and tough. It was impossible for him to fall into that kind or cheap trap after surviving in the underworld business for so long. Unless someone familiar was involved…like Tiffany or Qin Li. However, he believed that those two would never do anything to harm him. Qin Li and his qilin palace back home were rigidly devoted to Murong Wuque. Qin Li was famous for his rigid uprightness and high moral compass. He was a true swordsman with a powerful sword spirit, he wouldn't do something despicable without harming his sword soul and cultivation. As for Tiffany, she was very

  • MARK OF THE CRAZY

    On the bedside stand, there was a very prominent artifact featured there. It was glowing, the holy aura blinding. It was a sophisticated golden incense burner in the shape of an egg. The smoke coming from it was non toxic. It wasn't smoke perse. Just natural energy being collected from the environment and sent back out. It's like air purifier, but in this case, what's being purified wasn't just dust, but also possible unpleasant auras. Above the bed was a dazzling silver dagger, which was hanging on a fixture Alvin was sure wasn't there a while ago. It looked like the sword which Murong Wuque often carries into battle, but this wasn't sword. It was a dagger with dazzling cold aura, filled with righteous wrath. Like it was waiting for the slightest irritation to unleash carnage. “What's that?” Alvin's gaze couldn't leave the dagger. It was even more resplendent than the golden egg incense burner. Like it had a powerful attractive force attached to it. Murong Wuque smiled, and

  • No longer home

    Murong Wuque hurried to their room, but he didn't stop crying. Murong Wuque moved around sanctifying the room, and placing wards. He also found a few suspicious things which he had no memory of placing. And they were certainly not Alvin's. The doors were coded and computerized. Who could have entered to place such dark monitoring artifacts? The person was real slick, placing it in places where it faded into the background. Aurelio's cries finally lessened as Alvin rocked and sang to him. He hiccuped, curling into Alvin who gently patted his back. Murong Wuque took a ritual cleansing bath before returning to the room in a new set of robes and pajamas. Murong Wuque appeared murderous, fury visible in his features. The moment he approached Aurelio, his eyes softened. He reached for the child, gently taking him from Alvin. “Little sunshine. Who scared you?” Aurelio was the on the verge of tears, his lips drawing into a pout. He made little sounds, his mouth open, like he was tryi

  • SOMETHING DARK LURKING

    Elena walked in with a face towel in hand, patting her face dry. “Leah, lunch is ready let's eat.” She finally noticed Alvin who was just pushed in. “Boss!” Her shout attracted Amanda who was studying, and Tiffany who was working in the backyard garden connected to the kitchen. She had chosen the spot for its serenity, checking into the office while she waited at home for news concerning Alvin. Her heart pounded in anticipation. Part of her couldn't believe it was true. Could the boss have really returned? She ran inside, on second thought, she ran back to grab her laptop and zoomed inside the main downstairs sitting room. Murong Wuque was the first person she saw then Alvin. He was alive and whole, albeit looking pale and sitting in a wheelchair. She gasped and threw her arms around Alvin’s neck. A low warning growl had her grip loosening with lightening speed. Fear replaced her initial excitement and she looked up at Murong Wuque, the source of the sound. Was he marking te

  • Joy or resentment

    Murong Wuque hurried to take Alvin and the kid away from the place. At first Alvin had been confused on the reason he decided they needed to leave immediately without wasting another second. They teleported to one of Murong Wuque’s mansions in the heart of the city, closer to villa number seven, and Murong Wuque drove them home in his customized armored g-class. He intentionally took the longer route, which brought him directly to the estate's main entrance. His hair was covered with a beanie cap as always, followed by a shawl to keep his ultra rare silver hair out of sight. At the estate gate, the security guards appeared to have recognized him. The moment he gave them the token for villa number seven, their faces were filled with respect and awe. Many people assumed Murong Wuque was the owner of villa number seven due to his aura. Some confused him with Alvin, but Alvin rarely used the main entrance, preferring the rear entrance which connected directly to his villa from the

  • WATCHED BY A DEMON EMPEROR

    He placed immobilization formations around the herbs and moved to other spots. After thirty minutes, the jar in his hand contained four different demonic entities formed by the aura of darkness. His face had since turned dark. Despite his fortifications, this place morphed into the breeding space of evil. Was it the corrupted divinity stone? Was someone watching them and used dark energy for surveillance? If so, did the person notice the heavenly signs last night after he became a higher ranked divine emperor? Did they notice that Alvin had entered half step ancient god realm? Are they targeting him? Could it be the pill? Although he had suppressed the bloody aura of the revival pill Alvin gave him and purified it, using it for his cultivation and recovery, during the brief moments his energy ran chaotic, it could have done a sizeable amount of damage. Murong Wuque pulled out the blood herbs and stabbed a silver spear into the ground, sealing the entire surrounding. He gather
