Alice was stunned as she was familiar with the name Felton due to how big it was in the real estate business.

As it was, Silver Sparrow was one of the top five largest real estate companies in the city with connections all over the country.

Their owners, the Felton family, were hardly ever in town and always maintained a low profile, not bothering to make themselves known.

Of course, not all of them were like that as Jeffery had become the poster boy of Silver Sparrow since his arrival in the city three years ago.

Though he was considered a playboy who only knew how to party, he somehow managed to push Silver Sparrow to new heights, allowing them to be able to compete with companies like Gold Lake in a few years.

For Alice, finding out that her husband was connected to such a figure left her feeling suspicious about his true identity.

She'd tried a few times to ask him about it, but he always brushed it off with jokes, and when she tried to research on her own, she would always be met

    Mia had to grow up quickly because of the situation in her family and she couldn't allow her younger sister to suffer the same fate, so for her sake… she had to do as Mr. Murray wanted.Just as she was about to start, Elijah grabbed her shoulder and helped her up. “Don't do that.”As he spoke, he looked around, taking in the faces of those in the restaurant.No one cared that this young lady was about to do something so vile with some even watching in amusement.An inherent sense of disgust arose within him as he shook his head, disappointed that society had devolved to such a level.Just then, Mr. Murray remarked. “Sir, you don't need to help her. That bitch deserves this sort of treatment else she's going to end up ruining me!”“And so you decided to treat her like an animal and force her to do such a dehumanizing thing?... Have you no sense of humanity in you?” Elijah questioned causing Mr. Murray to snort derisively.“Who are you to lecture me?... If I say she is going to clean up

    Mr. Murray didn't know how Elijah knew the Dragon Legion but he understood that if he didn't beg for his life, he'd surely suffer dearly for it. Without hesitation, he went on his knees. “Spare my life, sir, I will serve you for the rest of my life, I promise!” As long as he could survive, Fatty was willing to even lick the ground like a dog. Unfortunately for him, Elijah was not one to be moved by such things. “You can stop with your crocodile tears. It would only make things worse for you.” “Sir?” “Since you decided to treat a fellow human like a dog, it's only right you are treated like a dog, don't you agree.” “No, please, spare me, I swear it won't happen again.” Ignoring his pleas, Elijah remarked. “Thomas!” “Sir.” “Take this fatty outside and whip him a hundred times. If he makes a sound, double it.” Mr. Murray trembled as he realized that Elijah wouldn't accept his pleas. With that realization, he no longer saw a need to act as he cursed Elijah. “You bastard!...

    “What an eyesore.” Someone remarked just as they had entered the concert hall. Both Michael and Claire turned back to find a man donning quite fancy and expensive attire, accompanied by a similarly dressed lady. Both looked upon the Silvas with contempt, like they had no reason to be in the hall with them. “Any problems?” Michael inquired. “Why won't there be problems?... Sometimes I wonder why the Auditorium doesn't enforce rules like the Lutheran does. We would be able to avoid aberrations like the one before me.” “I don't quite understand.” “Don't you know that one's attire is a symbol of their wealth? You may be poor but don't be so brazen about it. Is there a need to spell it out to every one of us?” Alice was just about to speak up when Michael held her back. “I paid the same as you, it doesn't matter what I wear. All that matters is that I paid.” “Who knows where you stole the money from? Focus on buying yourself some decent clothes before attending functions

    Albeit unwilling, the audience listened to the man's orders to avoid getting sent to an early grave as they sat back in their seats while hoping that they would survive whatever was about to happen. Alice put a hand over her mouth as she tried with no success to calm her rapidly beating heart while ensuring that Claire was quiet.Something was wrong and whatever it was, it didn't seem like something small. Meanwhile, Elijah had just finished using the bathroom when he got a call from Thomas.“General, are you alright?” Thomas inquired, his tone laced with genuine worry causing Elijah to frown.“Is there a problem?” “I implore you to leave the Opera house quickly, General, trouble is coming.”“Trouble?... Explain properly, Thomas.”“We have evidence that the Roland family has made a move.”“Hmm.”“We discovered that they have made five bombs and plan on utilizing them at five locations.”“The Opera house is one such location?”“Indeed.” Elijah closed his eyes while taking a deep br

    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'm sorry, but if I hadn't done that, you guys would have been in danger.”“It's fine, just… be more careful, okay?”“Sure.” ***The next day, much later in the day, Elijah made his way to Wesen Group after he had picked up Claire from school.He planned on picking Alice up as well.“Daddy, are we here to pick up mummy?” Claire asked with Elijah nodding.“Indeed we are. So wait here.”“Okay.”Elijah got down from the car and made sure it was secure before making his way toward the entrance only to pause as he spotted his wife approaching.She was truly a beauty in every sense of the word, and the way she carried herself was truly breathtaking.Just as he was about to call out to her, someone else beat him to it.“Alice!”The man walked up to her holding a bouquet. “These are for you.”“Oh thank you, Darius, you shouldn't have,” Alice remarked.“Haha, anything for you,” Darius remarked. “For a goddess like you, even the world is too little to offer.”“Now you're just flattering me.”

    “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

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   A wicked scheme

    The plan was simple. As long as the workers could get close to Alice and cause the vase they were carrying to break, they would then accuse Alice of damaging it and demand reparations. For this part, Garret planned to intimidate her with his position, ensuring that she would have no choice but to cough up a substantial amount of money to be set free. But even then, he didn't plan to let her go and instead planned to detain her, after which he'd force the Wesen family to give up everything in exchange. That way, he would have dealt them a heavy blow, ensuring that they paid the price for what had happened with Gold Lake which caused the Roland family to taste bankruptcy after so many years of wealth. Of course, it would also cause the person backing them to reveal himself after which Garret wouldn't hesitate to teach the bastard a lesson for overstepping his boundaries. However, what Garret didn't take into account was the fact that Alice was no longer the weak girl from yea

  • Involved in a ghastly accident

    Layla nodded and said honestly, “Yes, apart from assassination, there are many other terrible things. As long as it’s a task that offers easy money, the organization will basically agree to it. They’re also secretly supporting a lot of powerful families and forces. Oh, right, and they also ask members to go around to solicit beautiful women and send them to powerful families and forces as social escorts used in exchange for benefits. Although I haven’t done such a thing, I’ve witnessed it several times.”As Elijah and Layla were discussing, they would have no idea that something bad was about to happen to a notable figure.At this moment in another part of the city, Albert Sanders, butler of the Augustus family, had just finished meeting with some powerful individuals in Crystal Falls in a bid to ensure that should there be a need to flee the capital, he would be able to ensure Sir Augustus safety.When he was about to leave work, he suddenly received a call from Sir Augustus who call

  • Pledging allegiance

    Layla pursed her lips, but she nevertheless said, “I don’t know how much you know about the organization, but it’s actually colossal. There is not only an enormous amount of experts, but it also has forces and branches all over the world. They’re not to be trifled with. My abilities aren’t considered extraordinary, and there are many people much better at martial arts than I am. So even the eight major families in the capital are trying their best to cooperate with the.. They don’t dare to be hostile to them either.” Looking at Elijah with a complicated expression, she said cautiously, “Going toe-to-toe against the shadow organization will bring about a huge tragedy if you’re not careful. I have to inform you about this. Actually, I’m very grateful to you for saving my life yesterday, so you don’t have to…” Before Layla could finish speaking, Elijah interrupted her. “It’s just a small organization. It’s no big deal. What I said last night still stands. If they come to me on their ow

  • It's already too late

    The pupils of the three men in black constricted, and one of them immediately yelled, “What else do you want? We won’t catch this woman today!”Elijah smiled mirthlessly. “It’s already too late.”As soon as he finished speaking, the coins in his hand immediately darted out, and the shiny metal surface of the coins reflected the panic-stricken faces of the three men trying to dodge.But the next instant, the coins accurately penetrated through the throats of these three people.Three jets of blood spurted into the air as the three men in black froze in place.A few seconds later, they collapsed onto the ground with loud thuds and could no longer move.Blood gradually spread across the ground with an intense iron odor.Layla sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the corpses on the ground. All of them were killed in seconds!It was incredible!Layla’s jaw dropped as she looked at Elijah in disbelief. She moved her lips, but she couldn’t say a single word.The power of this man in front

  • Did I say you could leave?

    “Punk, report your name! Who exactly are you?” The man in black held his bleeding right wrist pierced by the coin while clenching his teeth and glowering at Elijah.Elijah raised his eyebrows.Most people would be overwhelmed with immense pain when they received such an injury, and very few would be able to remain so calm and only let out a short cry of pain at the start.This was enough to show that he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person.Elijah guessed that these people probably came from the same organization as Layla did.However, Layla suddenly wanted out of the organization for some reason, but they weren’t willing to let her go, so they sent people to capture her.As for the chief these men in black had mentioned, Elijah reckoned that he was probably the head of one of the organization’s branches.Elijah glanced at them calmly and said in a frigidly composed tone, “You’re not qualified to know who I am! You just need to remember that if you still don’t get lost in a minute, yo

  • Layla

    A wave of unusual footsteps suddenly rang out all around, and several people clad in black suddenly appeared and surrounded Layla.“Hah, Layla Al'Ghul, where else do you want to run off to now? You’ve made us look for you for such a long time. You’re really something!”Layla’s expression changed drastically, and she immediately put her guard up.“You people are really everywhere! I’ve already told you before that I’ve already quit. I have nothing more to do with you guys!” Layla hollered with a cold expression.“Hah, you want to quit just like that? Dream on! The chief has already instructed us to tell you that he will give you another chance if you come back with us obediently. If you don’t know any better, the only thing you’ll face is death!” the leader, a man clad in black, said coldly.“Give up! I won’t go back there even if I die!” Layla yelled furiously through gritted teeth.“Hmph, since you’re so stubborn, prepare to die!” The leader issued an order, and five people around hi

  • Hold it right there!

    Alice glanced at Elijah. “Who's that?”“Stay here.” Elijah remarked as he stepped out.The woman was none other than one of the assassins that had tried to kill Celeste. At the time, Elijah had let her off in the end because she held a special sword.He had merely knocked it out of her hand and confiscated it.He didn’t expect this woman to come after him to ask for the blade. “I’ve already told you the last time we met that those who work for evil are not worthy of owning that sword! Get lost, or I can’t guarantee that I’ll let you off this time!” Elijah roared angrily.The woman in black stayed silent for two seconds before walking toward Elijah. “My grandfather left this sword behind for me. You must return it to me!”Light shone on her face, revealing her features.The last time they met, she had been wearing a mask, concealing her face completely.But this time, her face was not covered, and Elijah could tell that she was probably around 27 or 28 years old.She wasn’t very pret

  • That mysterious organization

    With that, Elijah turned to Denise. “Happy?”Denise nodded in slight embarrassment. “There was no need for that.”“You were being maltreated. There's no way I'd allow my daughter's benefactor go through such.”Then, Elijah turned to Celeste and said. “Her name is Denise, and she once saved my daughter.”Celeste was greatly surprised.She thought that there might be some other relationship between the beautiful Denise and Elijah.But they didn’t expect that Denise had saved Claire.It was no wonder that Elijah had helped her just now and had even forced Taylor to slap herself ten times in the face in order to help her get justice.Celeste’s heartstrings, which were tensed up, suddenly eased up as a smile bloomed on her face.“So you once saved Claire. That’s great!” Celeste said smilingly as she held Denise’s hand.Denise felt a little embarrassed. “Actually… I didn’t help Claire with anything. I’m not really considered her savior.”Elijah said firmly, “You helped Claire, and you did i

  • Bullying the bully

    The restaurant lobby wasn’t that large, and their conversation was soon heard clearly by the onlookers, who were waiting for the matter to develop further.“Who exactly is this young man? Celeste Ainsworth is on his side, and she doesn’t mind going against Miss Taylor for this young man!”“I don’t know, but I reckon he must be someone with an incredible identity! No wonder he insisted on confronting Sparda and Miss Taylor. It turns out he really has what it takes to do so!”“Hehe, do you guys think Taylor Baylor will slap herself? Just look at how arrogant she was. Now, she’s finally defeated. I’m so happy!”“Hahaha, why don’t we have a bet? Let’s see if Miss Taylor will slap herself or not.”“Shh, shut up! Keep your volume down. Be careful they might take revenge on you! You’re not like that young man who has the power to go against the Baylors!”All sorts of whispering spread to Taylor.She was so enraged that her face flushed, and she felt a strong urge to nab these gloating people

  • Either you do it or I will

    As one of the most expensive restaurants in the county, the Wolf Restaurant had a plethora of carefully chosen hardware and facilities.For example, although the dining tables in the lobby weren’t as good as the mahogany tables in the luxurious private rooms on the top floor, they were made of high-grade solid wood.Even if someone ground the blade of a sharp knife against the tables, there wouldn’t be obvious traces.But Elijah actually left an almost two-centimeter deep palm-shaped dent in the table with his hand. How terrifying must his strength be?!He was just like a martial arts expert of action moves, for he had impeccable martial arts that were just too exaggerated!Taylor, who was right in front of the table, gasped in horror and turned pale when she saw the obvious palm print on the table.She staggered backward in horror and grabbed the pretty boy she had brought with her tightly as if she had found a straw to clutch at.But the pretty boy was extremely timid and cowardly e
