Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 11
As the app loaded, he spotted a live video that immediately caught his eye. He clicked on it, and in an instant, the face and voice of Sierra Lane filled his screen. Her voice, rich and velvety, seemed to pour out of the phone, captivating him entirely.Sierra Lane, the TikTok sensation with a voice like no other. In her early twenties, she’d already gathered millions of followers who couldn’t get enough of her soulful performances. Sierra herself was striking, with long, wavy hair cascading down her shoulders, framing her expressive face. Her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she sang, and she wore a comfortable yet stylish outfit, perfect for her laid-back yet engaging vibe. Her talent wasn’t just in the smoothness of her voice but the warmth she brought with each note, making every live session feel like an intimate, personal concert. The walls were adorned with a few colorful posters of her favorite artists, and various musical instruments were scattered around—a guitar leaned c

As Sierra finished her song, she glanced down at the comments, hoping to see another message from FlibbityBoo. Her smile faltered just slightly when she noticed that he was no longer watching the live. A small pang of disappointment hit her—she had hoped he would stay long enough for her to thank him properly or maybe chat a bit more. Still, she couldn’t help but beam with joy over the incredible support he had shown.Turning back to the screen, she spoke to her audience, her voice full of excitement. “Wow, I honestly can’t believe tonight! FlibbityBoo, if you’re still watching somehow, thank you again. You really made my night—no, you made my whole week!”….Elijah checked the time on his phone—it had already been 25 minutes, and he was starting to feel his stomach rumble. He was just about to lay down on the bed to wait a little longer when the doorbell suddenly rang."They’re here already?" he murmured, pleasantly surprised. He quickly walked over to the door, expecting to see a t

The woman looked down and gently placed a hand on her daughter’s head. “Oh, I’m sorry, sir. She’s my daughter. She wanted to come along, but if this is a disturbance, I can send her back…” “No, no,” Elijah quickly shook his head with a reassuring smile. Then, he crouched a bit to speak to the little girl directly. “Hey there, little one. It’s almost one in the morning—shouldn’t you be asleep by now? Don’t you have school tomorrow?” The young girl looked up at her mother for a moment, then back at Elijah, her tiny voice both sweet and determined as she replied, “I already had enough sleep.” Her voice was adorable, and it made Elijah chuckle. He nodded approvingly, amused by her steady answer. “Alright, then. You’re a tough one.” With a welcoming gesture, he invited everyone in. They made their way to the terrace. When they reached the terrace, the woman looked up at Elijah with a friendly smile. “What’s your name, sir?” Elijah returned her smile warmly. “I’m Elijah Westbr

Lily nodded enthusiastically, clasping her little hands together. “Thank you, Uncle Elijah!” she said, her voice filled with pure joy.Elijah then pulled out his phone and transferred the entire amount needed for Lily’s school fees, plus an extra sum for them to buy her a special gift. He turned to Lily with a smile. “Guess what? I sent your mom some money to get you a teddy bear.”Overjoyed, Lily wrapped her tiny arms around Elijah in a hug, her happiness almost contagious. The woman thanked Elijah profusely, her eyes wet with gratitude, and together, she and Lily slowly made their way out, glancing back at him one last time with looks of deep appreciation.As Elijah opened each dish, he was greeted by an impressive display that looked almost too beautiful to eat. The seafood platter gleamed with vibrant colors—lobster tails, juicy shrimp, and delicate scallops, all arranged over a bed of ice and garnished with slices of lemon and sprigs of fresh herbs. Beside it was a plate of per

Sierra shrugged lightly. “I don’t know, Dad. It’s just an anonymous account—no profile picture, no bio, just some random username. But whoever they are, they were generous tonight.”Her father’s frown deepened as he listened, concern etched into his expression. “Sierra, you need to be cautious. You have no idea who’s on the other side of that screen, or why they’re doing this. People don’t just hand out money for no reason. It’s not normal.”Her mother chimed in gently, “Your father’s just looking out for you, honey. It’s wonderful you had someone supportive tonight, but…just keep your guard up.”Sierra nodded, though a hint of frustration lingered. She understood her father’s concerns, but tonight had felt special. “I’ll be careful, Dad, I promise.”Elijah finished his food then his drink, savoring the last sip with a contented smile. Tonight felt like a new start, and he was truly happy for himself. Setting down the empty glass, he stretched, feeling the satisfaction of the incredib

Soon, Elijah’s breakfast was delivered—a delicious spread just as elaborate as his dinner the night before. He savored each bite, taking his time as he soaked in this rare taste of luxury. Once he was done, he tidied up, making sure his outfit was just right, then left his room looking well-dressed and confident.As Elijah approached the reception desk, the receptionist’s eyes widened slightly, taken aback by his transformation. Gone was the man in casual, rumpled clothes; now he stood before her, well-dressed, exuding confidence with a polished look that highlighted his striking features.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted with newfound respect, almost surprised by her own tone. "Did you enjoy your stay in the penthousesuite? And—oh, I see the clothes suited you perfectly.”Elijah nodded, a slight smile on his face. “Yes, thank you. It was a great experience.”The receptionist beamed, clearly relieved that he was satisfied.Elijah glanced at the receptionist, nodding appreciatively. "T

The driver noticed him and pulled over to the curb. Elijah stepped forward to talk to the driver when he caught sight of someone sitting in the back seat—a passenger. His eyes widened slightly, taking in her striking appearance. She was a stunning, thick woman with a confident air, her figure gracefully filling out the curves of her fitted dress.Elijah froze for a moment, his gaze locked on the woman in the back seat. It took him a second to fully register who he was seeing—Sierra Lane, the TikToker he'd watched on live the night before, the very one he’d sent money to on a whim. Seeing her in person now, looking even more stunning than on screen, left him momentarily speechless.He couldn't believe the coincidence. Out of all the cabs he could’ve flagged down, it had to be this one. Part of him wondered if he should say something, if she’d recognize him, but he quickly realized she’d have no idea who he was.Elijah leaned forward slightly, telling the driver his destination and list

Meanwhile, as Sierra arrived on campus, she barely had time to adjust her bag over her shoulder before a crowd of students suddenly surrounded her. Startled, she paused, glancing around at the familiar faces, all wearing curious or eager expressions. Sierra was no stranger to attention—she was famous across New Ember University, not just for her rising popularity on TikTok but also for being one of the most admired girls on campus. She had her share of admirers, people crushing on her, and even envious glances.But this was different; she wasn’t expecting a swarm like this. Her eyebrows raised in confusion as she wondered what was going on.“Sierra!” one of them called out, grinning. “We were watching your live yesterday—who’s that person who gave you all those gifts?”Sierra blinked, realization dawning on her. Oh… right. She’d almost forgotten that plenty of her classmates would have been tuning into her live stream, eagerly watching every moment.Clearing her throat, she tried to

His cold, sharp eyes locked onto Elijah's calm, unwavering face.There was a moment of chilling silence, the sound of the dogs barking faintly behind them filling the heavy air.Phantom frowned slightly, as if assessing Elijah from head to toe.The blood-stained singlet on his chest stuck awkwardly to his skin, his muscles tense, the brutal energy he carried unmistakable.Yet before him stood Elijah — unflinching, arms slightly loose at his sides, his expression unreadable, almost casual.Phantom dropped the stick to the ground with a loud thud, wiped his hands slowly on a dirty cloth nearby, and took two slow steps closer, the tension thickening with every move.Phantom stared at Elijah for a long moment before a twisted smile curved on his lips.He opened his arms wide slightly and said in a low, taunting tone,"Elijah Westbrook... welcome."Elijah remained calm, his sharp gaze surveying the room again — the cages, the brutal scene behind Phantom, the men standing like loyal wolves

The scarred man gritted his teeth furiously but stayed in place, glaring at Elijah with burning hatred, breathing heavily as if restraining himself.Elijah stood there, unbothered, a light smirk still on his face. His calmness only made them more unsettled."Tch," Elijah muttered, shifting his weight slightly on his heel, still relaxed. "If this is the best Phantom Reiss has, then maybe I should be disappointed already."The group stiffened hearing Elijah mention Phantom Reiss so casually.One of the rough-looking men stepped forward, pointing a thick finger at Elijah and barking, "How dare you mention boss's name with your filthy mouth?"Another, gripping a rusted pipe in his hand, spat on the ground and said angrily, "Let’s just beat him bloody here and now!" His voice was thick with rage.But immediately, one of the older, slightly smarter men grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back roughly."No! Are you dumb?" he snapped. "Boss said bring him, not break him here. If we mess him u

As Elijah drove further, he suddenly spotted a small open area along the road—a place wide enough to pull off without causing suspicion.Without hesitation, he turned the steering, brought the Prado smoothly to a halt, killed the engine, and stepped out casually, leaving the driver’s door open.The man following him, surprised, immediately slowed down too, stopping a few meters behind, unsure what was happening.From inside his car, he watched Elijah.At first, he thought maybe Elijah was checking something on his car... but when he saw Elijah closing the door slowly and beginning to walk toward him—directly—his heart skipped a beat."Shit," the man muttered under his breath, quickly adjusting himself in the driver’s seat.He frowned hard, panic creeping in."Am I exposed? How? Was he monitoring me the whole time?"He kept his hand ready on the ignition, debating whether to drive off, but Elijah’s calm yet intimidating pace made it clear:Running might make it worse.Elijah's gaze was

“Elijah Westbrook?”“Yes. He just came out of a flower store by East Ridge Avenue, entered a black Prado. He’s with another man—probably a close aide or driver. They’re still parked.”“Good. Stay on him. We'll come there quickly.”The call ended. The man’s fingers moved swiftly over his phone screen, snapping a picture of the car and sending it in a flash.Elijah carefully opened the back door of the Prado and placed the beautifully wrapped bouquet—white and red roses mixed with some fresh lilies—gently onto the back seat. He closed the door quietly and glanced up at the sky; it was already getting darker, with the thick clouds hinting that rain could fall again soon.He checked the time on the car dashboard — 4:30 pm, almost brushing 5 pm. The day had moved faster than he expected.Without wasting time, he got into the driver’s seat, buckled up, and started the engine with a soft hum. Felix, who had been quietly scrolling on his phone, looked up and nodded as Elijah began driving out

Betty glanced at Sierra and suggested, “What about some jewelry? Like a nice chain or bracelet? Might look good on him.”Sierra shook her head gently. “I’ve not really seen Elijah wear those kinds of things. He’s more of the simple and classy type. I think these are enough.”“Alright then,” Betty nodded with a grin. “Still, what you’ve picked is solid.”With that, the two of them continued walking toward the mall’s main payment counter, their hands filled with stylish branded bags and other goods.On the other side of the floor, Sophia had also gathered a few items—less than Sierra but still noticeable. She began walking in the same direction, unaware of who else might be headed there. Her heels clicked lightly as she adjusted her purse and made her way to the counter to process her payment.As Sierra walked forward toward the main counter, her steps slowed slightly. Her eyes locked onto a familiar figure just a few meters ahead which was Sophia“That lady?” she murmured to herself, e

"I know I've wronged you, Elijah," he said, his voice cracking as desperation bled into his tone. "Please… please help me get out of here. I beg you."Elijah didn’t flinch. He held Damian’s gaze, his face unreadable—until, suddenly, he broke into laughter. Cold, mocking laughter that echoed off the walls of the grimy cell block."Help you?" Elijah chuckled, stepping closer. "Damian… why would I save you… from the very place I personally put you in?"Damian’s eyes widened, his lips parting in shock. "W-What? What do you mean… by where you brought me?" he stammered.Elijah’s smile was calm, sharp. "That’s right," he said smoothly. "Everything… every step that led you here—it was all part of my plan. You see, I knew what you were doing. I watched you ruin others, abuse your power, lie, manipulate. You thought nobody saw, didn’t you? But I did. And I waited. Waited till the right moment to crush you under the very weight of your own sins.”Damian stumbled back a step, gripping the bars ti

As they stepped out of the office, Elijah’s eyes caught Felix already standing across the hallway with his arms crossed, waiting alertly.Upon seeing Elijah approach, Felix immediately straightened up.Elijah stopped in front of him. “I’m giving you a task,” he said firmly. “You’ll make sure this whole place—everything inside—is transformed in a week. Hire the best interior designers or whoever you need. Every single material in this station must be replaced. Floors, walls, chairs, desks—everything. It should look brand new and high quality. And if you need more money, let me know.”Felix nodded instantly. “Sure, brother. I’ll do so. You can count on me.”Elijah gave him a quick nod and turned, continuing his walk with Dorson by his side. Felix followed closely behind.They soon reached the side of the building where the other policemen were stationed. The officer who had escorted Elijah earlier was there too. As they saw their superior, Superintendent Dorson, all the policemen stood

As Elijah sat silently, staring at his phone screen while it rang, Superintendent Dorson chuckled mockingly and leaned back in his chair, clearly thinking he had the upper hand.“Now you’re quiet, huh?” Dorson smirked. “Thought so. Must be regretting that chairman story. You young people and your jokes—next thing you’ll say is you own half the city. Don’t worry, I won’t lock you up… yet.”He laughed again, smugly folding his arms. “You looked so confident before, now you look like someone who just realized he’s out of his depth.”Just then, Elijah’s phone screen lit up—Isla had picked up the video call.Her face came into view, seated at her sleek desk, her glasses perched delicately on her nose. Behind her, the Dominion Group’s logo gleamed brightly on the wall.“Yes, Master Elijah?” she said calmly, clearly on speaker as her voice echoed faintly through the phone.Dorson’s laughter froze midsentence. His eyes widened, brows furrowing in confusion as he leaned forward, staring at the

Dorson’s jaw tightened slightly at Elijah’s composed boldness, and the air between them grew heavier.Superintendent Dorson narrowed his eyes and asked, “So what exactly did you come here to discuss?”Elijah leaned back slightly in the chair and replied, “Before we get into that…” He paused and let his eyes drift slowly around the room. His voice was calm, but edged with quiet criticism. “When I walked in here, I saw how bad this place looks. It shouldn’t be this way—for a whole police station, with your name and rank tied to it.”Dorson raised a brow, watching him.Elijah continued, “The paint on the walls is peeling like it hasn’t been touched in years. The hallway smells like damp papers and sweat. I passed broken ceiling tiles, exposed wires near the light switch. Some of your officers looked like they haven’t had new uniforms since 2010. Even the floor tiles in the corridor were cracked. Superintendent, you’re a big man—this shouldn’t be your standard.”Dorson’s face tightened s
