Perhaps they might have if Elijah had not sent a text telling them not to reveal themselves. If he guessed right, the attackers were here to deal with Alice and Claire. So he needed to make sure they would focus on him, hence the reason for his provocative actions. With the attack of Logan and his men, it didn't take long for the news to get to news houses resulting in a broadcast. “Breaking news, Crystal Falls finds itself threatened by rogue criminals. Information reaching us is that so far, the criminals have caused no destruction to property, though a few casualties have been reported. With the situation as chaotic as it is, one can't help but ask… is Crystal Falls going to survive the night without a tragedy?... It remains to be seen.” *** Elijah was blindfolded and gagged by Logan and his group as they returned to their camp on the outskirts of town. Based on what he'd heard, the attacks on Wesen Group and Wesen Manor had been stopped, which meant only himself and e

“I see,” Alice said. “What's the occasion?”“Can a man not buy gifts for his beloved without reason?”“You can.”“Exactly.” Elijah nodded. “But there is an occasion.”“I knew it!”Elijah chuckled. “There's an auction tonight, hosted by none other than the Roland family.”Alice paused, her expression taking on a cold turn as she inquired. “They are the ones that…”“Yes.” Elijah nodded.Apart from his identity, he made sure to tell Alice everything because he knew she was tough enough to handle them.So he'd already informed her that the Roland family was responsible for the attack yesterday.“You are planning to make a move?”“Yes.” Elijah nodded. “And you are going to expand your network while I deal with that.”“Alright then, but be careful.”“Aren't I always?”Alice snorted before proceeding to take out the dress and the other accessories Elijah had bought for her.Once they were done preparing, they left the villa as a power couple, quickly making their way to the auction.***The

Elijah's lips voice echoed throughout the field, sounding like a death knell to those who heard it The guests didn't dare to wait as they realized that bloodshed was sure to follow given the circumstances. Within seconds, they were gone, leaving behind members of the Roland family and Garret's subordinates. The latter group was left confused, unsure of how to act as they stared at the dead body of their superior. That hesitation cost them as Leo and Thomas moved like ghosts, ending the lives of two out of them before the others could react. Unfortunately, it didn't change the fact that they were unable to take on the members of the Dragon Legion. It didn't even take up to ten minutes before the battle was over with the Dragon Legion emerging victorious in the battle at which point Elijah got a system notification. [Mission completed] [1000 Spirit Points received] In the meantime, Members of the Roland family were too stunned to speak, completely overcome by terror as th

“Who dared to bully my wife and child?” The man accompanying Betty questioned loudly, putting a substantial amount of fear in most of those present.Of course, Elijah didn't even act like he was bothered as he was prepared to take Claire, Maddie, and Adam away.Betty pointed in their direction and the man marched over like an angry bull.“You did well, Adam, thank you for protecting Claire,” Elijah said as he praised Adam for his bravery, completely ignoring the approaching figures.“Mum and Dad always say that when you see something wrong, you should always try to make it right.”“And that is an admirable trait. From now on, you are Claire's brother. I'll make sure to treat you like family.”“Really?” Adam was excited upon hearing this.Claire had always said that her dad was a cool soldier, and Adam had a dream of one day being a soldier, so it was nice knowing that the person he admired saw him in such a way.Meanwhile, Maddie was feeling tense as she understood that the current si

“It's my card. So you don't have to rely solely on the black card your grandfather gave you. Also, you can use it to purchase all you need for your brand.”Alice looked at the card, quickly realizing how much of a masterpiece it was.It was unlike any bank card she was familiar with, as it was made completely of silver and decorated in a manner that was too eye-catching to ignore.“How much is in it?” Alice asked with Elijah shrugging.“I have no idea.”“Then how can you be sure it has enough money to do everything I want?”Elijah smirked though he didn't bother to explain.The silver card contained everything he'd ever gotten during his time on the battlefield.It wasn't just liquid funds, but relics and other unique items as well.When he last checked, it was worth almost a trillion dollars, and since it wasn't only money that it contained, its value was constantly increasing.He didn't need money so he thought it best to hand it over to his wife.In any case, he didn't need the car
