“Just do everything you can. In the future, as long as you want something, I will do it for you, as long as it's in my capacity to give. Please save him. I will give you anything you desire in exchange, as long as I have it, of course.”

Murong Wuque chuckled and gave Alvin a wicked side glance.

“Anything? Really?” He chuckled again. “You're either too innocent and naive, or cutely stupid. The world is a dangerous place, such promises would only be equivalent to signing up for trouble.”

Alvin took a deep breath and licked his lips, turning to Murong Wuque, his gaze earnest.

“I will never make such a promise to another person, but you're different.”

Murong Wuque froze for a while, and slowly turned to look at his face after a few seconds.

“What?”

“I know people are evil and greedy. Making such promises would be equivalent to giving them the ammunition to hurt you. But you're different, you're Murong Wuque. You will never ask me to do something evil or despicable to repay a fa

  • Deadly temper

    “What happened?” Alvin immediately stood up and pushed his chair back, rushing to know what was wrong. Murong Wuque didn't answer him, rather he made a gesture with his finger. At once, all the staff was rounded up by an invisible string of energy. Joe and Sam who were eating in the kitchen were the most startled. One moment, they were enjoying burgers and toast, the next they found themselves hanging mid air like criminals. Martha gasped in shock and the cup of hot water she was holding slipped. But the water was frozen mid air, stopping it from splashing on the old woman. An invisible hand pushed her back, as if saying stay away from this mess. The people hanging mid air began to clutch at their throats and struggle to breathe, from Amanda, Leah and Tiffany, down to Elena and the men, they were all hanging mid air, with the string of energy around their neck. “Wuque, stop. You're going to kill them. You can't handle them like your staff back home, these ones are mortals a

  • Surprise

    Just as Alvin stood up, he felt a chill come from the direction of the stairs. The person capable of causing a change in temperature even before they appeared was not two in villa number seven. There standing on the mighty spiral staircase some distance away was Murong Wuque. He was looking as ravishing as usual. Droplets of water could be found on his face, but his hair was dry, probably done using his wind magic. He was dressed in sky blue silk robe and pajama pants, adorning his beautiful feet were a pair of expensive crocs. His long silver hair fell elegantly on his shoulders, held away from his face by a set of milky jade hair clasps and pins. He looked like an ancient prince from heaven. No, he was one. Everyone held their breaths as he slowly descended from the stairs. His ethereal beauty made it seem as if everywhere brightened up the moment he appeared. Or perhaps, it was his aura. He stopped before Alvin and took his place at the head of the table. Surprisingly, eve

  • Elusive

    The next morning by seven, Alvin went downstairs. The entire family was already downstairs. Qin Li just walked in with his sword after practicing all night in the mountains. Alvin looked at him. “Mmm? You smell nice, where did you take a bath? Didn't you come from the mountain?” Qin Li had his characteristic ice cold expression on his face. “There's a spring in the smaller mountains, the lowest part is filled with natural energy and cultivating there is bearable compared to the other parts of the house. I practiced my five element sword with the water and cleaned up before returning.” Alvin frowned slightly. “There was a spring with that kind of energy? How come I didn't know about it?” He was genuinely surprised. Qin Li just came in last night, yet he and Murong Wuque already found their favorite places with enough energy. While he that lived in villa number seven as the nominal owner didn't even have a full list of the assets he had, the facilities in the villa, or the n

  • you have crossed the quadrillionaire mark

    Alvin spent the entire night in his home office, going through reports of the financial analysis of the companies gifted by the system as mission rewards. “As you can see, I carefully selected competent staff as the heads and appointed them on your behalf. That's what kept the money rolling in, even while you were away. Queens group has a shareholder meeting tomorrow where you're meant to take over, and then go over the financial reports with them.”“So how much is the dividend I have made from SW entertainment and empire group shares in the past three months?”The system brought out a record to him, and a screen was displayed before him. “SWE has made lots of profits recently. They signed a new talent and the blockbuster movie that they sponsored also earned lots. The Empire group's new technology also took the market by a storm. After deducting expenses, tax, fifty percent return to the company for expansion, and gift money to outstanding staff, the combined cash deposited into yo

  • What's wrong with my heart?

    Alvin's eyes were wide with panic and his heart seemed to have dropped with him. But before he could hit the ground, a soft body appeared beneath him. It was Murong Wuque lying under him to break his fall. A slender arm encircled his waist at that moment and he gasped out loud, his heart beating erratically as if it would fall out of his chest. This feeling of being so easily overpowered by another person was truly too terrifying and strange for Alvin and he was having a terrible time coming to terms with it. No, he would never be able to come to terms with it. How could someone be so powerful that he could manipulate someone of Alvin’s caliber and power like a ragdoll, a mere puppet? “What the hell do you think you're doing?” Alvin roared, his eyes blazing with fury. All the response he got from Murong Wuque was silence, accompanied by his signature deadpan face, emotionless as always. Before he knew it, he felt himself move again. And in a nanosecond, they were back on hi

  • Roller coaster feelings

    {VILLA NO. 7} After the evening’s drama, Alvin made his way upstairs. Just as he was about to enter the room, Murong Wuque appeared beside him like a mist, leaning elegantly against a nearby wall. Alvin sighed and gave him a side eye, he was still visibly upset with him for intentionally bringing up the derilous ecstasy powder before everyone, causing the atmosphere to become tense. Murong Wuque didn't say anything. If he noticed the way Alvin was glaring contemptuously at him, he chose to say nothing. Or perhaps, couldn't be bothered to say anything. He was the ice cold Prince of heaven after all. What does the opinion of mere mortals matter to him? “Come here and input your biometrics into the room's control system. My room can only be opened with my fingerprint or by manually inputting the pass code. It wouldn't be nice to make you wait outside anytime I leave.” He gave Murong Wuque a once over with his eyes, a bit of resentment showing in them. “Though I suppose that would
