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.

  • soul tie.

    Murong Wuque grabbed Alvin's arms, twisting it behind him. With a slight movement of Iceman's knee, Alvin found his face flattened against the glass. Iceman adjusted his hold, pinning the arms above Alvin's head. Then he grounded into him, letting Alvin feel the entire hard length against his ass. “Wuque, stop. That's…” “Stop what? I gave you your chance. Lots of chances to make your move or back out. You didn't appreciate it.” He snarled into Alvin's ears. “Am I a joke to you? Are you playing with me? Who do you think you are? What do you think we are?” “Wuque wait…” Alvin groaned. The pain of being pinned like that wasn't half as bad as the humiliating feeling of being beneath another. With one hand, Murong Wuque switched off the tap, and the other grabbed Alvin. Alvin gasped in shock, watching himself get carried bridal style with just one arm. He couldn't believe it. He was eighty kilograms, and his bone mass was way more than that due to his physique training techniq

    Alvin pounced on him like a starving wolf, and grabbed his silver hair, tugging it backwards with vicious force. “You asked for this. Bear the consequences of your actions.” His lips found Murong Wuque's neck, sucking, nibbling, like he was owed a ton of debts, like he wanted to devour him whole. His other hand cupped Murong Wuque's face, holding him in place for his assaults. He moved upwards, capturing Murong Wuque's ears in a wet kiss. A gasp escaped Murong Wuque's lips, and he shivered. Alvin smirked against his ears and traced small kisses from his ear, up to his defined jawline, and finally his lips. This kiss was unlike any they've ever shared before. This was hot, consuming. He needed it more than his next breath. Like he would die if he failed to get what he wanted. This was too much for him. He needed him, needed this. He bit down on Murong Wuque's lips, drawing blood, but he didn't stop. Instead he sucked in the blood like a vampire. This was no longer just a

    Alvin stared intently at him, and Murong Wuque matched his gaze. That unwavering glare that seemed to search his heart, that subtle tilt of his lips when he was being playful, the arrogantly arched eyebrow, all pointed to the same thing. He was the Murong Wuque Alvin knew after all. Alvin frowned. Why did he change so much? What could be wrong with him? Or did the dark residues from the pill corrupt him? He couldn't wrap his head around it. Murong Wuque leaned closer to him. Alvin’s heart began to pound like a drum. The badump badump sounds filled the bathroom, one could notice his nervousness from miles away. He was used to being the shameless flirt, the tease. But he never experienced being at the receiving end of it. This was a new sphere of experience. Although he was quite thick skinned, being the one played didn't sit well with him. “An Kai, why don't you check closer if it's me?” Murong Wuque smiled subtly, and brought his face a few inches away from Alvin's. “Did the

  • Is this still Iceman?

    Alvin settled down the energy running haywire in his body, and slowly exhaled. Once again, he moved the sleeping child into the storage space and went on to check what was happening. He lightly pushed the door, this time, it slid open. His eyes went straight to the bed, where he saw Murong Wuque sitting cross legged, eyes closed, silver hair soft, long and silky, flaring behind him. He thought he saw the silhouette of a giant dragon, but before he could get a closer look, it disappeared into Murong Wuque’s body. A powerful aura permeated the room. If not because of the powerful formations laid around the house, it would have attracted powerful masters who would have wanted to trace it. The aura made someone instinctively want to prostrate and worship, like a mortal beholding a great god. The residual energy was crazily seeping into Alvin's body even without him doing anything. He always had this weird symbiosis with Murong Wuque that enabled him to feed on energy the latter

  • I owe it to you

    After an hour of Alvin pacing up and that, lines of worry creasing his face, the lily finally unwrapped, exposing Murong Wuque who was now sitting cross legged, his skin glistening. Alvin wanted to rush to him, but noticed the golden light shield acting as a cocoon. His skin glistened like oil was poured on it, and a holy aura filled the room. On his forehead, the silver mark glowed, and behind him a huge golden palace appeared. Before Alvin could check more details, a mysterious power pushed him outside to the balcony, and the doors snapped shut. Alvin gasped and pointed at the door, then at himself. He was short of words. Was Murong Wuque really guarding against him now? Or was it his guardians? What's there that couldn't be seen? What's the need for so much secrecy? Weren't they the closest? He scoffed. “Alright now, Iceman. So this is it. You actually wanted to push me out. Because of what? Do you think I'll harm you? What a joke! My good intentions are wasted on an ungrat

  • STILL THE STRONGEST

    Alvin's face went dark the moment he saw the changes happening to Murong Wuque. “System, what's going on? Did you give me the wrong pill? You didn't want to give the elixir initially, did you swap it without my permission?” The system kept silent, making Alvin panic the more. It can't be right? He couldn't have hurt Murong Wuque inadvertently. No. Alvin rushed to support Murong Wuque but got pushed away. His heart dropped, and Murong Wuque vomited the second spurt of blood and collapsed on the bed. Alvin's mouth opened in a silent scream and he hurried to hug Murong Wuque, hastily wiping the blood with the edge of his sleeves. “Iceman don't scare me like this. Wasn't the elixir supposed to heal you and return you to peak condition? What's going on? Please don't scare me.” Alvin threw the blanket aside, and laid Murong Wuque on the bed, improving air flow. His heart was pounding a mile a minute. He should have known better than to trust the selfish unreliable system. “I'm n
