“You truly deserve to die. I didn't see it before, but now, I totally agree.” Alvin suddenly said and stood up as if to leave.

The startled girl stopped crying for a moment and looked up at him. Attention seekers were all like this, being dramatic because they needed someone to beg and hold them back. As long as Alvin continues to pamper her, she will continue going overboard. She suddenly sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Of course. Someone that got her entire family killed does not deserve to live.”

“You don't deserve to live, not because of the tragedy, but because you're too stupid. You knew your stupidity led to all this mess, yet you're about to do something even more unforgivable. What do you think your brother wants the most? It's to get revenge against those bastards. And what are you trying to do? You want to take the easy coward’s way out so that the enemies can continue living in peace, enjoying their lives, and scheming more atrocities. You want to die and allow them to enjoy the things they stole from your family. You're not worthy of your parents, you're a useless daughter, you're even worse than those bastards. At a time you should be thinking about how to strategize and rebuild the legacy that was lost because of you, bring the traitors to their knees, fish out the mastermind hiding in the dark, destroy everyone involved in this pain you are experiencing, and let your family be relieved in the netherworld, you're here being dramatic. Instead of earning your parents forgiveness by making amends, you want to die and disappoint them even more while the enemy lives on in happiness and comfort. You are a big idiot, go and die since you're so stupid and lack common sense.” Alvin shouted, kicking a can beside him.

The girl began to cry heavily while Alvin heaved and huffed in anger. After a while, he squatted before the girl.

“You're afraid of being alone in a cold, cruel world where you have lost everything. You don't have a dime to your name and don't even know where to start. Wherever you go, you're mocked and humiliated. The people you once helped, people who once looked up to you now spit on you without reserve because your crown is gone. You don't even know where the next meal will come from. For someone used to a soft life, all these are very terrifying and you don't know where to start from. And something probably triggered you, making you think death is the best way out. Dying and letting social security service officers pick up your body seems better than starving. At least, the immense guilt and anger in you will be soothed. But what next? What if I tell you I can take away all your concerns and hold your hand through the dark till you're able to stand on your own again? What if I help you become strong enough to get revenge? Will you still want to die?” Alvin asked, cupping her cheeks.

She looked up at him, her eyes surprised, unfocused and relieved, as if she finally found a savior.

“Leah, how old are you?” Alvin suddenly asked.

“I'm nineteen.” She murmured, avoiding his eyes.

‘Just nineteen? Which means she began to sponsor her boyfriend when she was sixteen, and probably began to date from fifteen. What kind of parents raised her? They let their underaged daughter be with a jerk. Or was she obstinate, ignoring their concern? She looks really stupid and misplaced her priority, dating at a time she should be improving herself.’ Alvin thought, trying to keep his expressions plain and avoid showing his disdain towards the pathetic blockhead.

“What about you? You got married at nineteen.” The system said with a sneer in its voice, making Alvin speechless.

After a while, he finally found a comeback.

‘Mine is different. Grandpa forced me to marry Sonya to see if she would stop being rebellious. Besides, I didn't contribute a dime to the marriage and wedding, except for the salary they forced me to hand over. Furthermore, grandpa paid off my student loans, and completed my fees which were not covered by the scholarship, letting me graduate successfully at twenty years old, and procured my results. He also secretly paid for me to get my masters degree at the cyber university. So, you see, I only got married that early because it was beneficial to my future. I didn't become stupid because I got married. I had all my senses intact and trod carefully. Just that Sonya was lower and more irredeemable than I expected, going overboard after the tragedy grandpa encountered. I think they're the ones who made him suffer a stroke. So, if you check our situation, I'm nothing like this dummy. Not at all. She's a girl yet she's spending her money on a man she's not married to.’

Alvin smiled at the girl and caressed her face, showing nothing of his initial thoughts.

“Don't blame yourself, alright? I will support you till you feel like leaving. Will you come with me?”

The girl waited for a while as if considering his words and nodded, making a wide smile spread on his face.

“Good! But you have to promise me not to think about suicide or do such a cowardly thing like putting yourself in danger.”

“I promise. I will never try to kill myself, ever again.” She whispered, making a genuine smile spread on Alvin’s face and he pulled her closer for a hug.

“Ding! Congratulations on completing your mission. You have been rewarded with fifty million dollars, a real estate coupon to cash out any villa of your choice as long as it's below seventy million dollars. One revival pill and one weapon coupon.” The system announced, making Alvin's heart skip multiple beats. The screen appeared once more, showing his account balance and inventory dashboard.

“Do you want to manifest your unlimited black master card now? It will help you to easily pay for products later.” The system added, making the bewildered Alvin even more excited.

“This system is truly real?”

    “If I'm fake, why are you still alive now?” The system bit back, almost as if it could feel emotions. “Bring out the master card.” Alvin instructed. He heard a low buzzing sound in his head and a black card appeared in his hand. His name and QR code was printed in gold on the card. “Isn't this the rumored vvip black card that less than one percent of the world’s population has access to?” Alvin muttered, feeling excited. “Of course. Your current account balance can only be fit for such a card. In the future, more money will roll in as long as you complete your missions successfully. Your card might even be upgraded to a supreme card. This time, you were compensated with ten times the amount you spent to get the bike here and other things. You even got a coupon. You only need to walk into any real estate company of your choice, select a preferred villa and the system will pay for it.”Alvin was giddy with excitement. He had never seen so much money in his life. He had been very dep

    “Your mission is to make all these people stop looking down on you, and punish them for their errors. In other words, you must increase your prestige point by ten percent. If you must be the biggest global star, and the most powerful man in the world, one thing you can't lack is prestige, admiration and worship of people. This is not just a mission, it's your first training.”“What's my current prestige point?” Alvin asked in his mind. “1%. And that one percent is only because the little fool you just rescued respects you, alongside that bartender colleague of yours.”“What's the difficulty level of the mission? And what are the rewards?”“Worry about passing successfully before you think about the reward.” The system said, casually dismissing him.“Look at how stomped he looks at being found out. He's merely a snake pretending to be a dragon. Get out immediately before the security gets here. Otherwise, even the king of heaven won't be able to save you.” One of the sales attendants

    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 ca

He looked at the manager and immediately began to drool. “Pretty woman, are you the manager of this place?” “Yes. How may I help you?” The manager asked, trying hard to hide her disgust. “Get this idiot arrested before any other thing. How dare he attack me?” Liam Shawn said with a smile and grabbed the manager's arm. She immediately tried to push him away, but his strength was superior. “Don't be like this. I can take care of you, give you luxury items, and let you travel around the world. How about you become my woman?” He said with a creepy smile which made his eyes look smaller than usual. The manager made a face and immediately tried to push him away. “Let go of me, now.” She shouted, but Liam paid her no heed. “Don't be like that. Alright, I understand you're a feisty one that needs to struggle before she submits. It's still morning, I have

    Alvin looked at himself in the mirror of the VIP bathroom in the private lounge where the manager took him to and was immediately surprised. After taking a bath and changing into the clothes which the manager had brought for him, he looked like a different person. His deep russet colored eyes matched his burgundy colored suit to create a powerful combination that awed even himself. He strapped the grand Seiko brand watch on his wrist, and completed his exotic look. Indeed, the clothes make the man. The Alvin before him was one he had never seen before, his attire suited him perfectly, making him look like a billionaire CEO. And this was in a situation where he warned the manager to be conservative with money. Now imagine if he bought really expensive items worth millions, like Rolex Daytona. How would he look then? Indeed poverty is a bastard. No wonder everyone treats a broke man like trash. He sighed and loosened one more button on his shirt, showing a clear view of his sexy Ada

    “The system requires you to be ruthless, uncompromising and deadly. That's the only way you can fulfill your role.” The system's voice finally softened, as he sat on the sofa and picked up a magazine. However, he was in no mood to listen to any more of the system’s nonsense. Just then, he heard footsteps walk into the longue where he was sitting, making him look up. It was Leah and the manager, alongside two new sales attendants who were struggling with the numerous bags containing the things they bought. “Wow!” Alvin whispered, as he watched the newly transformed girl. She no longer looked like the messed up gutter rat he picked up a few hours ago. She was dressed in a designer skirt and top made of the softest pink cashmere, she was wearing a pearl necklace, a silver colored shoe to match her necklace and her soft skin, silver colored purse, a bracelet made of diamonds, and a beautiful pink strap leather watch which looked very expensive. Her hair was styled to perfection and sh

    “You have been rewarded with the latest model of the limited edition Lamborghini Aventador, seventy percent of Stars Wave entertainment shares, ten million dollars, one thousand system points, one reversal talisman, one physique training art, and battle skill. In addition, there are two lucky draws which you can use to draw lots for either techniques, weapons, treasures, or skills. Do you want to cash it out?”Alvin didn't hear the rest of what the system said. He only registered the Lamborghini before the Stars Wave entertainment shares struck him dumb. Stars Wave entertainment was the third biggest entertainment agency in the country and ranks top five in the entire continent. Getting signed to such a company that raised legendary musicians, actors and models was once a dream which he didn't dare to indulge in. But he was casually gifted seventy percent of the shares. Doesn't that make him the majority shareholder? Starswave, that behemoth was now his? He now owned the third bigges

    “What are you talking about? This car is an automatic, it drove here on its own after I called for it. Are you getting in or not?” Alvin asked and got into the car. Leah who was still hesitating quickly got in because he looked angry and impatient, as if he would really leave her behind. “Leah, it's better not to ask lots of questions in the future. There are lots of things you won't understand about me going forward, and a lot of things that may not make sense to you. But all I promise is that you will be well taken care of.” Alvin added after some thoughts. “Are you into illegal business?” Leah asked slowly, as if picking her words. “No. Do I look like that kind of person? I don't do illegal things, you don't have to worry about that.” Soon, he arrived at a nearby restaurant. It was a four star restaurant and they were already open for business. Some upper class office workers already stopped there to have breakfast on their way to work. Although the restaurant was not fi

  • finding a missing genius

    Some of the disciples gasped in amazement on seeing the interior. There was an entire section dedicated to gold, silver and precious stones. Different kinds of weapons were also displayed there alongside some unknown treasures and ancient book. “Hmmm, what's that smell?” Alvin whispered, distracting the disciples who were eagerly checking out the treasures. Murong Wuque was equally frowning, facing the same direction as Alvin. The disciples frowned and quickly ran after them. “You guys are disappointing me. Assuming you came alone, you would have gone straight for the treasures without searching for traps or people lying in wait. What if the treasures were not real but merely an illusion created by a slaughter formation to lure greedy souls in? You would have fallen into the trap all the same. I can't always follow you guys out to missions, you guys should learn how to better protect yourselves.” Murong Wuque snapped, scolding them harshly. He was what one would call a perfect

  • demon's treasury

    “Did you find anything?” Alvin muttered the moment Murong Wuque returned. They had finally managed to kill the enchantress after two hours of battle, a very close call. They would have ended up dead if not for Murong Wuque and Alvin who seemed to have a tacit understanding, working in tandem with each other, till Alvin found an opportunity to launch a deadly sneak attack on her. Just as she howled and turned to end him, Murong Wuque added numerous killing blows in quick successions, taking her by surprise. She had wanted to escape but they had locked down the surroundings, disabling teleportation. Although it was disadvantageous for some of them, the gain outweighed the loss of mobility. The rest of the disciples also began to add many attacks, emboldened by Alvin and Murong Wuque’s success. “There are no captives here. She probably already used them for what she intended. The only thing left is her treasury, and it would take some time to pick the lock. We might burn everything do

  • HIDDEN WEAPONS IN ACTION

    Alvin wasn't sitting idly by. He grabbed a pillow that somehow found its way to where they were standing, probably during the enchantress’s play with her man-pets, and quickly slapped the monsters closest to him. The others nearly cursed at him, but their words got stuck in their throats. The casual smash with the pillow pulverized the demons it came in contact with. He swung it in an arc, clearing ten demons in a straight line. There was no time to think. The rest drew their weapons, emboldened by the fearless duo. If an unknown cultivator could endure their demonic energy and bloodlust, while delivering fatal strikes, they could do it too. But they soon realized that it was mission impossible. The demons were too powerful, making it hard to easily kill them. The strongest ones could only kill one or two at a time, and there were hundreds of demons and only fifteen of them. It made them wonder how Alvin was able to kill them with a mere pillow. The one carrying the injured culti

  • walking into the demon's lair

    Alvin picked up an arrow from the ones on the ground, and examined it. After a while, he hurled it at a spot on the door. At once, the arrows ceased. “Ah? What just happened?” “Fellow cultivator, thank you. We truly make a great team.” Murong Wuque said, smiling at Alvin. “Ah? What does that mean? Was he the person who made the arrows stop?” The disciples refused to believe it even when the proof was right before them. After all, how could a waste be able to achieve such a feat? Surely their first brother was confused and didn't realize when he did it. “He truly stopped the arrows.” Another senior whispered, making everyone stunned. But they were in for more surprises. They entered the palace and went down the hallway till they came into a huge room. The room was designed in scarlett and a huge king sized bed was on the platform. There was a huge shelf at the end with countless human skulls, exhibited as if they were some sort of trophy. On the bed was a woman dressed in

  • Casualty

    After a battle which lasted five minutes, the last monster fell dead. However, one of the disciples was injured by a deep claw slash, making blood gush out, and it also seemed as if the claw was infected. Murong Wuque walked to him whereas another disciple was supporting him. He made a swift slash on the wound and extracted the toxin. Without a word, he brought out a bottle of pills and herbs from his pouch. He stuffed the pill into the young man's mouth, and sprinkled some herbs on the wound. He raised his cloak and tore off some pieces of clothes from his inner layer of gown and used it to bandage the wound, before adjusting the boy's clothes. Everyone was watching Murong Wuque in shock. He was someone obsessed with cleanliness and image, but he willingly ruined his precious clothes to turn it into a bandage to stop the bleeding. He handled the situation efficiently, as if he had been a doctor for ages. It seemed that when it comes to his fellow disciples’ safety, his principle

  • sinking into the demon's trap

    They arrived at a cave, which had a pitch-black interior. The air was chilly, the atmosphere creepy. Almost immediately someone turned on a kind of ancient torch which produced flames the moment it is opened and comes in contact with air. Murong Wuque accepted the flaming torch from one of the boys and quickly began to move inside. He suddenly stopped as a sense of foreboding arose in him. Alvin also felt it and looked around. But before they could find the source, the ground opened up and swallowed them. The batch behind barely had time to jump back, narrowly escaping the trap. However, all the disciples of the valley, alongside Alvin, were swallowed. The remaining ones were the weaker vagrant cultivators who came to offer assistance in exchange for the bounty. “This is bad, there's a trap here.” One of the men whispered in panic. “This is terrifying. Even young master Murong Wuque didn't notice it on time. How then can small fries like us combat the danger if the almighty young

  • The hunt

    “You, what are you still waiting for? Go take a spare horse from one of the juniors and follow me. I want to see you at all times. Since you specifically came to me, I have to protect you.” Murong Wuque shouted, making Alvin turn to him. “I don't need your protection. Protect your ass and your dumb charges. I can manage just fine on my own.” Murong Wuque chuckled and looked up at him. “What's your name? I can't keep shouting ‘you! You!’ all the time.” Alvin frowned, wondering what name to offer them, a name that wouldn't connect him to any martial arts clan, considering what he was about to do. If his name seemed familiar, after realizing he stole something, they might wage war against the clan they think he came from. But he had no idea about the names of powerful clans in the area. In a spur-of-the-moment decision, he decided to go with the closest Chinese name that has the same pronunciation as his original name. “My name is An Kai.” “An Kai.” Murong Wuque repe

    Murong Wuque smiled as he listened to Alvin. “Oh? What could I possibly have that's worth stealing?” He asked, still smiling kindly, knowing that he was close to the answer. Alvin grinned and pinched his cheek lightly. Murong Wuque was doing his best to keep his emotions full of smiles to avoid frightening the bird away from the trap he finally managed to rope him into. Alvin grinned at him and pulled him closer. “I want to steal…”“—your heart.” He completed, smiling brightly at him with that drunk look in his eyes. The smile on Murong Wuque’s face froze and his heart skipped a few beats, not expecting the direction his little investigation steered in. He swallowed the lump in his throat, a bone chilling coldness in his eyes at being deceived. But it disappeared as soon as it came, with his face being all smiles again. “But we're both men. Fellow cultivator, why do you want my heart? Are you sure you don't want something else?” He asked, caressing Alvin's cheeks, barely resisti

  • Mental Manipulation

    Alvin smiled and stepped back. “I'm sorry, but I have other matters to attend to.” He turned to leave, making everyone shocked. He had barely walked two steps when Murong Wuque's voice stopped him. “Stop there!” His voice was cold, his eyes even chilly. The temperature around fell by a few degrees and Alvin felt a slight prickle against his neck. “This cultivator must be stupid. He's actually acting arrogant before young master Murong. He must have a death wish.”“That's right. Young master treated him with courtesy which is very rare. Yet he dared to reject it. He has truly done it this time.”“Lord Murong has lost his patience, seems like there would be a good show to watch.”“Idiot, seeking death.” One of the medicine sage valley’s female disciples said, looking at Alvin condescendingly. “I said stay. What's so hard about that?” Murong Wuque said, and unfurled his white paper fan with dragon patterns on it, taking a step towards Alvin. Alvin's eyes shifted in contemplation. T
