Wiping the tears from Claire's eyes and hers as well, Denise slowly got back on her feet and with a look of determination, addressed Duke. “I will come with you but you must send this child home.”Duke smiled contemptuously as he replied. “Do you think you still have the right to bargain with me?... Today, I will tell you the truth: if you don't do as I say, then I will definitely beat that child senseless. If you do as I say, then I will have mercy on her. There is nothing else to add to that and if you dare to waste my time with arguments, then it only gets worse for this little brat!”Hearing Duke's terrible words, Denise bit down on her lower lip as she knew that Duke didn't plan on letting Claire off.In that case, she only had one option.Closing her eyes to suppress the agony in her heart, she finally opened them again and turned to speak with Claire.“Claire, go and play in your room for a while, okay?... You can watch cartoons, play with the Teddy bear and read some story boo

Claire seemed quite proud of herself for standing up for Denise, with the young lady chuckling at the little girl's carefree nature.Elijah smiled as well. “So you protected Miss Denise?”“Yes,” Claire said with her nose in the air.“You have a brave daughter, Mister…”“Silva,” Elijah replied as he glanced at Claire who was giggling. “And I'm aware, she takes after her mother.”Then, turning to regard Denise, he added with a warm smile. “Thank you for taking care of my daughter.”When he found Claire in the small room just now, she was in a good state and wasn't frightened at all.Furthermore, there were dolls, story books, snacks, and other things that children liked around her, which were obviously thanks to Denise. Denise had agreed to Duke's disgusting request mainly because she was concerned about Claire, a stranger whom she didn't know before today.To think that she would go so far for his daughter.Elijah was eternally grateful to her for making such a sacrifice.Feeling emba

Soon enough, Elijah was surrounded by more than a hundred armed bodyguards but he didn't even act flustered in the slightest as he kept his attention on the Neeson patriarch as well as Gerald and Darcy's father.There was no way they didn't know just how despicable their children were.The bodyguards flexed their muscles, intending to attack the moment Elijah made a move but he didn't even put them in his eye as he glared at Hayden.Before the latter could say anything, a terrifying pressure descended on him, forcing him to his knees.This one act made the whole hall turn unusually silent.Dennis roared frantically. “You bastard, how dare you hit my son?... What are you all waiting for!?... Kill him on the spot!”After speaking, he immediately tried to help Hayden back to his feet.Receiving the order from their superior, the bodyguards swung their iron rods fiercely at Elijah's head, intending to finish things in one move.Unfortunately for them, Elijah was no pushover. Elijah's fac

Elijah shook his head, his expression turning cold as he remarked. “I gave you a chance. You are the ones who decided to throw it away. So don't blame me for fighting back!”He lifted his right leg and stomped down hard, causing the floorboard beneath him to crack, with the pieces shooting out in all directions.Each stone hit a thug accurately causing them to scream out in pain as they bled profusely.Their batons fell to the ground, clattering loudly as they collapsed to the ground and rolled around on the ground. All it took was one move to incapacitate over a hundred enemies.Everyone who witnessed that moment was stunned.The laughter in the Neeson main hall came to an abrupt halt as they stared at the screen fixedly.They were no folks as they could tell that Elijah's attack wasn't something anyone could do.Even the Brothers Blood were stunned as well and their killing intent rose exponentially.They had trained hard to arrive at their current strength, yet Elijah, who wasn't

However, Elijah did not intend to spare him as he put his hand on Dennis's head next.“You can't kill me!... I am Dennis Neeson, I am not just a nobody!... If you kill me, you'll surely become a wanted man!... The military will hunt you down!”“Don't worry.” Elijah coldly said. “I'll be fine.”Then, he killed him before he could say anything else.Just like that, Dennis's body collapsed to the ground with a dull thud. Just like that, the two central members of the Neeson family had been wiped out.As for the branch members, Elijah was not about to let them off so easily.It was also because he had let Darcy off that she dared to return for revenge.Sometimes, it was best to erase everything so others would not dare to make the same mistake.Dare to touch my daughter and I'd end you without hesitation!Just then, Thomas arrived with quite a few soldiers.They could have interfered before now but saw no reason to do so and had only come in to arrest the other elders.Of course, the Nee
