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.

Flowers bloomed everywhere, spirit energy floating visibly in the air.A far cry from what it was during the war.The isle had regained its past glory, its aura of holiness. Even better than it used to be in its peak.Murong Wuque stood in a pavilion, facing the waterfall.His face was still handsome, his hair still silver, but a heaviness had settled around him. Before, it was just his cold demeanor.Now, it was constant mourning.His eyes were empty as he stared into the distance.“Father,” a cold, youthful voice called.Murong Wuque turned. A boy of six or seven stood there, dressed in white traditional celestial realm robes, jade and silver ornaments in his hair, holding a sheathed white sword.Young, but his eyes held a depth and responsibility far beyond his age.“Aurelio.” Murong Wuque answered, a small smile appearing on his face.“The party has started. The leaders are waiting for you.”Murong Wuq

    Earth. Four months after the war began.Alvin stood on the roof of a half-burned building, overlooking the chaos below.The world before him was nothing like the prosperous Earth he once knew, with its towering skyscrapers and opulent cities.The stench of death permeated the air. Countless bodies lay among the wounded, while farther away, corpse soldiers stretched as far as the eye could see, numbering in the thousands.Tiffany rushed toward him. Her clothes, made from special bulletproof and fire-resistant materials, were torn in several places. Blood matted her forehead, and soot covered her face. Her lips were chapped and dry.“Boss, this is the last remnant of the Nightblood organisation. However, we don't have enough resources.”Alvin's eyes were empty, desolate as he stared at the approaching army.He had lost seventy-four percent of his soldiers. At first, everything had gone well. He hadn't expected another traitor to be hiding among his ranks, but the betrayal had turned the

  • A sacrifice too heavy to bear

    The moment Murong Wuque finished speaking, red nets appeared around Ruoshuan, encircling him from every direction.While putting on his angry display, he had been busy laying traps.Murong Ruoshuan froze for a moment. The next instant, he sneered and stomped directly on the net, shattering the trapping formation.“You're just a divine emperor. I'm currently the equivalent of an immortal emperor. Stronger than normal immortal emperors. Do you think a petty trick like this is enough to restrain me?”The moment he finished speaking, lasers shot from his eyes, streaking straight toward Murong Wuque.Murong Wuque produced a shield and deflected the attack with twice its original force.The moment the two attacks collided, a deafening explosion tore through the hall, blowing away the decking and roof.Statues and structures crumbled as numerous mechanisms were triggered in the ensuing destruction.Amid the chaos, Murong Wuque's companions moved instantly.Su Mei and Qin Li attacked the two

  • Meeting Nightblood’s supreme leader.

    Mu Continent — Isle of Immortals “Is this still the Isle of Immortals?” Qin Li shuddered as they crouched behind a shrub near the Hall of Legends. Their remaining spy had directed them here to intercept the supreme leader, who was currently meeting with his grand council. The entire isle reeked of blood. They had entered the inner isle through a secret chamber Murong Wuque had excavated in his teenage years, a passage known only to him. But the stench of blood and the oppressive dark energy were only the beginning. Demons had overrun the isle. Their presence smothered the once-holy aura, corrupting everything that had made this place sacred. Restoring its purity would take nothing short of a miracle. The demons had claimed the finest territories, with high-ranking vampire-demons occupying the most prestigious areas. The original inhabitants had been driven into dungeons or forced to hide in scattered corners of Mu Continent. To Murong Wuque's bitter shame, he had managed to e

  • Meeting Jian Li Chen again

    Everyone exchanged glances. To reach the Isle of Immortals from Ascension Continent, they would have to cross the Valley of the Fallen Kings and traverse the Volcanic Gorge, braving its fire and poison. Worse, Nightblood had mounted detection arrays throughout the area to monitor movement. They had tried before, but crossing that route without sacrificing ninety percent of their men had proved impossible. They had decided to deal with the imminent threats first, leaving that route for later. Now that their only solution was to cut the rot out at its source, they faced the same dilemma all over again. “The only option is to cross the Ice Sea Canal and pass through Sword Heaven Continent. But the Jian Clan has blocked every route into and out of the continent.” Murong Wuque sighed. Sword Heaven Continent had been among the worst-affected places in the Celestial Realm. The Jian Clan heir had slaughtered every clan elder, student, and disciple suspected of carrying dark energy. He h

  • An enemy closer than expected.

    Celestial Realm — Three Months Later Ascension Continent Base Twelve Deep beneath a military base, a vast underground chamber glowed with the light of crystals lining its walls. Murong Wuque stood before a carved stone table, a giant map spread across its surface. Seven people occupied the chamber. None looked as composed as they once had. Even Murong Wuque had dust and dried blood clinging to the hem of his combat uniform. He massaged his temples, exhaustion weighing heavily on him. Around the table stood Su Mei, Zhang Xiao Wei, Yang Yang, Qin Li, Shi Yue, and a disciple of Jade Palace who had risen to the rank of captain thanks to his contributions to the three-month war and his exceptional espionage work. “The only way to reach the Isle of Immortals on Mu Continent is through Jian Clan's Sword Heaven Continent,” Qin Li muttered, studying the map. Since the war began, they had managed to clear every anomaly from Tian Luo Continent and Blue River Celestial Isle, as well as pa
