Doing evil without remorse
“You’ve gone crazy. If I do that, I’ll never be able to sing again, while you continue to release my songs and enjoy my sweat. Dream on. I’ll never do it.”Sonya chuckled.“Oh? The church rat is still dreaming of making it big as a star. You were born a penniless scum, and that’s what you’ll be forever.”The guards laughed as if they’d heard the funniest thing ever. Fred smiled, a condescending glint in his eyes, exuding infinite arrogance. “My JC Entertainment will never let you go anywhere. Bring the music sheets and recordings tomorrow—this place, same time. Otherwise, hmph.”“Just kill me then. Once is enough. I won’t let you profit off me again.”Alvin pushed himself to a standing position, his eyes defiant as he stared back at them.“You lack talent and are mediocre. You only rely on your family’s connections to kill and bully others. Hard work is one thing you’ll never subject yourself to. You want things already made, to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. Admit it—you’re not
Narrow road for enemies
“You've worked hard,” the special assistant prepared for Alvin after his second hit performance, said, offering him a bottle of spring water.Alvin smiled and nodded. He noticed the presence of someone lurking behind the curtain, and his lips curled up, an imperceptible smirk hard to notice.Unlike his normal pattern, he slowly removed his mask and drank some water. The assistant smiled. “What a handsome face. Isn't it a waste to hide it behind that mask?”Without waiting for his answer, she rushed off to her next task. Alvin slipped his phone into his pocket and turned to the door with a huge smile. Today, he didn't come with a backpack to avoid losing precious manuscripts. Or rather, because he expected something to occur. The moment he turned to the door, he froze in the motion of trying to pull over his hoodie. The smile on his face dissipated, replaced by ‘profound horror’.Sonya smirked and waved at him.“Hello there, ex. Did you miss me?”That was all the prompt Alvin needed.
Destined to be your slave?
The crowd’s cheer was defeaning. The moment the Star Search organizers announced the entrance of number fifty-four on stage, the crowd went crazy. His two previous showcases were lit, and today, there were even more guests, despite the slight hike in tickets. The organizers being the business people they were didn't hesitate to rip off their clients by taking advantage of his popularity. There have been many speculations on who the mysterious number fifty-four could be, and why he always wore a mask, unwilling to show his face. Some said he was the heir of a rich family, chasing his dreams and hiding from his billionaire parents who wanted him to join the family business. Others say he might be a veteran superstar’s son. Some others say he could be an underground musician. The instant Alvin came on stage, the spectators went crazy, waving banners and light sticks to cheer him on. He shut his eyes, taking deep breaths. ‘Yes, this is it. The stage is my home. Although it took me to
Be my master
Alvin patted Murong Wuque's arm, subtly holding him back. “How about you let me handle this?”Alvin looked around the room. In addition to the Shi siblings, Tiffany, Elena, Leah, Martha, Amanda, Sam and Joe were present. Alvin sighed, knowing what he was about to say wouldn't be easy. “As some of you may know, I'm a special forces secret agent. And I messed with a big time evil organization that is searching for me, and Oliver too. Staying here with me is a risk, especially for the rest of you that do not know anything about self defense.”He paused, giving time for his words to sink in. “So far, the days have been peaceful, and I have been able to hold them away. But no one knows how long it will last. If you have some misgivings, or you think such magnitude of danger isn't something you can endure, you're welcome to leave now. I won't stop you, nor will there be any resentment.”Alvin’s words seemed to have surprised everyone because none of them moved. “Instead of you falling
Petty man
The tension in the house was thick enough to be cut with a knife. Each kept staring at the other with suspicion. Qian Ling stepped forward, a strained smile on his face. “People, can we think about this clearly? This is a lifetime decision that wouldn't affect just the lives of all involved, but also their health. In a case where the master whom the oath was sworn to catch a terminal illness or curse, the others would be affected, and there would be none to save the other.”Murong Wuque moved to a sofa and made himself comfortable. “The root cause of all these problems is that we do not trust one another. Right now, powerful enemies abound, and a greedy person might decide to sell others out for benefits.”He paused and looked at Alvin. “I'm not worried about myself—people strong enough to kill me are nearly nonexistent. How about the rest? Little Oliver here is a mere mortal, yet he's being targeted so. His elder sister isn't much different.”“Doing this will indeed breed resentme
Drawing the line
Sam led Amanda and Shi Meng Ying into the sitting room. Shi Yue shouted in excitement and immediately rushed to hug Meng Ying. “Meng Ying jie, you're finally out.” Alvin rolled his eyes. Tiffany often sneaked the detention room open while taking food to them whenever Alvin left the house, letting Amanda move around. As for Meng Ying, they didn't dare to let her leave because she practiced martial arts and could run away after overpowering them. But they still allowed Shi Yue to go accompany her to watch movies and play games. Tiffany equally grabbed Amanda's arm and winked at her, while Elena offered them a subtle nod. “How dramatic.” He rolled his eyes, suppressing the urge to call them out on their ‘reunion’ act and inform them that he had been keeping an eye on the house through the surveillance cameras at home. “Alright, enough now. It's been more than two weeks, I believe you've had enough time to reflect.” Amanda nodded, pouting. Alvin chuckled and pinched her nose,
