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's the Dom?

    Murong Wuque caught his wandering hand, and flipped him on his back, going on to pin the offensive hands above Alvin’s head. “You really want to play dirty like this? Fine. But from now on, I'm the one in charge.” His lips crashed against Alvin's, hungry and consuming. A trace of smile crossed Alvin's face and he gently caressed Murong Wuque's back, rubbing slow circles on him. Murong Wuque's kisses softened. He pulled away, and cupped Alvin's cheek, his nose flaring. “Quite the cruel little tease, aren't you? Why are you doing this?” “Shut up and kiss me,” Alvin pulled him down, directing his lips to his own neck. After a brief second of hesitation, Murong Wuque got to work, teasing and sucking him, while their palms explored each other. Soon, the room became a mess of pants and muffled moans. Murong Wuque's hand dipped into Alvin's nightwear, his lips tracing small kisses down his chest. The moment Alvin felt him gripping his ass, his fingers trying to part the cheeks, h

  • Won't leave you.

    Alvin didn't want to chase him. The right thing was breaking off this relationship. ‘But you've come too far to break up now. Come on.’ A tiny voice inside him whispered. ‘Can your little love compare to world peace? What's more important than keeping your wits about you and not having any weakness the enemies could use against you?’ A more dominant voice inside of his head thundered. ‘Murong Wuque can never be your weakness. He completes you. Makes you whole. Complete. When you're with him, you're stronger and undefeated. Loving him a bit more shouldn't hurt. You should stop breaking his heart. He's done too much for you. He's chosen you ten times without choosing himself even once. If you lose him, you will regret it all your life.’ Alvin groaned and collapsed against the bed, burying his face between the pillows. Murong Wuque had truly given him everything. Forced himself to mold something acceptable to Alvin. He abandoned his true self and principles for Alvin. Why was he

  • Difficult and unconventional

    Alvin flipped them over, and bit down on Murong Wuque's arm till blood began to flow. A slap followed. “You stupid manipulator. You dare use tricks to induce me?” Murong Wuque shook his head frantically, gasping. “An Kai, you totally misunderstood me. I just wanted to heighten things. I thought you would enjoy it more.” His eyes were so sincere and genuinely hurt that Alvin wondered if he had made a mistake. But the silver haired Iceman underneath him was the calculating type, who always did mental maths before taking any step. How could using such a devious technique to make him lose control be a mistake? “You almost fooled me.” Alvin muttered, wrapping his palm around Murong Wuque’s throat. “Do you want me to strangle you to death?” Murong Wuque appeared visibly upset and in deep pain, but Alvin wasn't buying it. He already said he didn't want to. So a certain person decided to take matters into his own hands and actively seduce him with dirty tricks. “An Kai, are you a p

  • want you badly 2

    Alvin who was sleeping, or rather half sleeping felt something strong and hard poking against his backside. His heart jumped, warmth snaking beneath his skin. Murong Wuque felt the shift in Alvin's emotions. He had woken up. His palm roved tentatively along his waist, and he began to fiddle with the sash of Alvin's robe. Alvin’s palm clamped down on his, stopping his naughty palm from making mischief. “What are you doing?” “I want you. I want you so bad.” Murong Wuque whispered, his cadence strangled, breath hot against Alvin's neck. Alvin's heartbeat picked up speed, like it wanted to gallop away. “But you just had me hours ago. Are all virgins this horny? Or is it just you lacking self control?” Murong Wuque kissed his neck, using his nose to nuzzle against Alvin's hair. “Blame yourself for being too hot. Whose fault is it that I can't control myself? What did you do to me?” Alvin chuckled. Was he shifting blames now? When he was the one pursuing Murong Wuque, he did it v

  • Want you badly

    By the time Murong Wuque returned, Alvin was lying in bed, dressed in his pajamas, and half asleep. In his arms was little Aurelio who had gone back to sleep like all little kids his age after being heavily fed. The moment he heard the glass slide open, Alvin’s eyes drifted open. “Are you back? Did you find anything?” Murong Wuque smiled, a soft smile filled with tenderness. He had bathed and changed out of his bloody clothes in villa number seven, before retiring to stay with Alvin. His heart ached. He didn't know how to explain the things he saw and did to Alvin. He was better off not knowing. As for these dirty jobs and killings, he would do them secretly. Alvin doesn't need to get involved. Perhaps he will hear about the base he raided, perhaps he will hear about the incident at home. But for now, tonight, he wanted everything perfect for them. Alvin, calm and happy, without worrying or realizing the enemies had gotten closer than he thought. So the man who never lied

  • TEARING ONE DOWN

    “I'm his sister. His sister, okay? He told me he will take care of me forever.” Leah whined, a hint of anger showing on her face. “Not anymore. I will make sure he won't take care of anyone from now on. The harder you work in your already established company, the better for you.” Murong Wuque intoned, his pitch icy and scathing. Shi Wei looked at Murong Wuque from the dining table, then picked a chicken drumstick. “Is Alvin still alive? Legally, she's his closest relative.” “Not anymore.” Murong Wuque smiled broadly, his eyes lighting up. A rare sight. “Alvin's son is coming home. And when he does, I want to make sure that this place would be safe for him. I don't want any delusional person hanging around the child's inheritance.” Leah's face twisted into a mask of fury, disbelief and suspicion. Then despair. “My brother has a son? How come we've never heard of him?” “He's just a few weeks old. Alvin was going to retrieve him from the surrogate and bring him home before the lit
