Elijah hesitated before replying. “Alice and Claire.”

“They seem wonderful. Take good care of them.”

“I don't need you to tell me that.”

Albert chuckled as he continued on his way.

Elijah let out a sigh as he looked down at the key before proceeding to pocket it.

It seemed that everything he thought was the truth was flawed.

If he wanted to understand the truth of it all, Elijah would need to head to the capital.

As for the bastard that caused the attack at the middle school, Elijah had only one thing to say to them.

“Run… for when I find you, you will pray for death, but death will not come.”

Alice tried to ask about Albert when Elijah returned inside but the latter dodged her questions as he didn't think it was the right time to speak to her about it.

It was better she didn't know anything than she did.

Realizing that Elijah wasn't willing to open up, Alice decided not to force things, hopeful that Elijah would speak with her once he was ready.

In any case, after a few more days

    The young paparazzi, whose name was Dan, had spent the entire afternoon secretly taking photos of Elijah, who had been kind and gentlemanly towards Madison in a bid to use them for nefarious purposes.He'd thought he could get away with it but now faced with Elijah, he was overwhelmed with an immense fear as it felt like he was being sized up by a terrifying beast.Dan realized belatedly that he had very likely offended a big shot which was something he shouldn't have done. Gulping nervously, he remarked. “It's all a misunderstanding.”“Really?” Elijah replied as he took a step forward while Dan quickly shuffled back in fear.“Yeah, honest.”“Who set you up to this?” Elijah asked while gesturing at the camera. “No one, honest to God. I'm just a photographer, and I thought you and your wife looked cute together, so I decided to take a few photos. If you don't like them, then that's fine. Just return the camera to me, and I'll delete them.” Elijah sneered as he pulled out the camera'

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   False alarm

    In a luxurious villa owned by the Augustus family in the capital, a young man in his twenties was reclining on a soft leather sofa with a sullen expression.Kneeling across from him was an older man wearing a suit.Judging from the tension in the air, one could easily tell that something was wrong.The older man didn't dare to speak out of turn at this moment as he waited patiently for the young man to speak up.Finally, he did.“So you failed?” “Apologies, young master, I failed to get the task down well. I'm incompetent.”“That you are.” The young man nodded, satisfied that at least the older fool knew he was at fault.The older man didn't stop there, though, as he continued. “In truth, I had found a perfect candidate who managed to put Elijah in a chokehold but to our surprise, he managed to overturn the entire situation, saving the hostages and defeating our candidate. Thankfully, that person is dead but the task remains unfulfilled.”“What's the point of all that when the main t

    “What do you mean by the Ghoul King is dead?” Elijah asked.“It's exactly as I said, General,” Leo said. “He bit off his tongue and died in the interrogation room.”“Damn it, did we get any information from him?”“Unfortunately no. He remained silent until his death. A tough nut to crack.”Elijah clicked his tongue as he was not happy to hear that the Ghoul King had escaped custody.He'd hoped that the Ghoul King could be used to pinpoint the other Disasters but now, the lead had gone cold.But he didn't wish to believe that the Ghoul King would die so easily.He was a Disaster, one of the most powerful villains in the world.Those bastards weren't so easily defeated.Elijah guessed that he most likely had a means to come back to life, after all, he was a cultivator that dealt with souls.“Has an autopsy been carried out?” Elijah asked with Leo responding.“Yes. So far only one thing has been discovered.”“What?”“The corpse lacks a spiritual imprint.”Elijah paused, quickly pondering

    Surprisingly, Clinton didn't seem to mind as he replied, rather excitedly. "Of course. Atlas just changed owners and we have to greet them as soon as possible.""Congratulations sir." The guards clearly didn't understand but still chose to buttkiss Clinton, an act the latter enjoyed."Hah, we have to reach out to the owner before the other shareholders so we can build a cordial relationship," Clinton muttered as he gestured for one of his bodyguards to get his cell phone.Just then, he got an email with an image attached causing him to instinctively tap it to see what it was about. The next moment he froze as he stared at the picture on his phone before slowly raising his head to regard Elijah.Then he stared at the phone screen again and then back at Elijah. Taking a deep breath, he began to take steady steps forward, quickly approaching the guards standing next to Elijah.“Sir, what…”Before he could even complete his sentence, Clinton slapped him across the cheek. The guard spun

    Elijah gestured with his hand. "Just forget it. There's no need to treat me like I'm such an old guy. This company was my mother's and I plan to live up to her legacy. As for the asshole that caused this to happen, I don't plan to let him get away so easily.”"... I understand." Theresa's gaze flickered with a strange emotion but regardless, she remained poised.Nodding casually, Elijah remarked. "So I guess it's time to get down to business.""Yes. What are your orders, sir?... As the Vice chairman, I am required to serve you to the best of my abilities."Ignoring the connotations of her words, Elijah pondered for a moment before replying. "For now, I have only one directive.""And what's that?""Hide my identity from the media." Elijah pointedly said.Theresa blinked in confusion. "... Hide your identity?"Most rich men would want to take advantage of such situations to show off to the media but Elijah wasn't planning on doing so.It got her intrigued and also curious.Meanwhile, on

    Elijah snorted as he continued on his way, quickly leaving the company premises while Lucius glared at his back.“Baby, don't bother yourself with that fool. We were only trying to help him, but since he decided not to accept our goodwill, then that's his business.”Lucius nodded, agreeing with Katie’s words but that didn't stop him from swearing to teach Elijah a lesson.Meanwhile, Elijah quickly got to his car but wasn't about to let the incident with Lucius go just like that.Since the bastard had decided to take things too far, Elijah decided to teach him a lesson in humility.With that in mind, he quickly put a call across to Theresa who had just settled into her office. ***Meanwhile, Theresa was in her office when her secretary walked in.“Miss Theresa, there are some guests here to see you.”“Let them wait, I'm busy right now.”“Understood.”Just then, her phone rang and she picked it up. “Hello.”“Theresa.”“Yes sir.” Theresa instinctively sat up straight up realizing it was

    “Also, you can go ahead and announce that the ownership of the company is in the hands of another but as I said, don't disclose my identity. Also, considering we have kicked out the Vergara family, I believe it's only right we find a replacement so announce that there would be an auction to take up the projects that the Vergara family have left unfinished.” “Understood.”Satisfied with her response, Elijah could only wait to see how things would turn out in the coming days.The next day, Theresa released the announcements according to Elijah's arrangements, and immediately, the entirety of Crystal Falls exploded with discussions as everyone began to talk about it.***Due to Theresa's announcement, a meeting was organized to take place in the conference hall of Atlas.“Okay, that's all for today's report.

    After noticing the change in everyone's expression, Theresa spoke up. “Elijah Silva’s outstanding resume is the reason I accepted his offer to purchase the controlling shares of our company. He may be unknown but it remains that he is competent enough!”At this juncture, even if they didn't want to accept the change, the executives had no choice in the matter.The record of this Elijah fellow was just too solid to fault.“Now then, with the appearance of a new owner, there are bound to be some changes,” Theresa said. “The first change is that Atlas will no longer be connected to the Augustus family.”“What?”“This is unwise!”“The Augustus family is the reason we are where we are today.”The executives quickly protested, expressing their views but Theresa wasn't even moved as she replied.“This is the decision of the new owner and if you don't like it, take it up with him. However, I must warn you. Due to his exploits in the North, he is a close friend of the King of the North, so it

  • Give it back!

    Elijah narrowed his eyes slightly.This figure didn’t look tall, and his walking stance and aura seemed extremely oppressive.‘He must be an impressive expert!’ Elijah immediately thought.Celeste suddenly saw a metallic item emitting a glaring and sharp ray of light behind the figure and exclaimed in panic, “Elijah, that man has a weapon in his hand!”This person was walking toward Celeste and Elijah with an unhurried gait.As he approached, Celeste also finally saw a large, thick, heavy, and long sword tied to this man’s back with a leather belt.Celeste gasped in horror because the large long sword was probably as tall as an adult human!It definitely weighed at least dozens of kilograms!A person carrying such a heavy sword on their back in public was a rare sight in today’s society!Celeste was extremely panicked.Elijah suddenly said, “Just wait for me inside the car. Don’t go out.”Then he opened the car door.“Don’t… don’t go out. He has a weapon. It’s too dangerous!” Celeste

  • Another assassination attempt

    Celeste secretly glanced at Elijah twice.Her heart was full of a sweet, warm, and fuzzy feeling, as well as a sense of pride.“Who sent you here? If you don’t come clean, I’ll make sure you regret having ever lived in this world!” Elijah stood in front of them, staring down at them condescendingly with a cold and merciless gaze.Although these killers were engaged in the bloody business of assassinations, with Elijah coldly looking down at them, they immediately felt an intense chill surging from their heads to their toes.But they wouldn’t let Elijah threaten them, so they gritted their teeth and said, “We won’t tell you. Even if we tell you, we’ll die! So if you have the guts to, just kill us now!”Elijah narrowed his eyes.In fact, he knew of more than a hundred ways to torture them and make them feel worse than death.But this matter concerned the Ainsworths after all, so he couldn’t overstep his bounds and intervene.“Miss Ainsworth, are you alright?”“It’s all our fault for com

    Before Elijah could finish speaking, Oliver suddenly interrupted while turning the steering wheel vigorously.There was a loud bang in front.Elijah was driving on the inner lane of a four-lane divided highway.But a black G-Wagon suddenly sped over from the side and crashed into a red Tesla in front of it!After steering the car the other way, Elijah floored the gas pedal and drove straight into the big G-Wagon!“Elijah, you’re crazy!”In the passenger seat, Oliver watched their car collide with the G-Wagon with his eyes wide open!“Hold on to your seatbelt!” Elijah hollered loudly.Just as Oliver subconsciously grabbed his seatbelt, the G-Wagon was right in front of them!The loud sound of a violent collision filled the air!Oliver began to get dizzy from the strong inertia.Fortunately, the airbags in the car popped open in time, securely shielding them in the middle so that neither of them got hurt.But the tall and sturdy G-Wagon was flung far by Elijah’s BYD.The roof of the G-W

  • Elijah, watch out!

    Olivia modestly accepted the compliments, but deep down, she was incredibly smug and was enjoying the praises.But when she heard these people praising Elijah, she felt extremely displeased.In particular, the fact that Elijah had given her parents such expensive gifts, which he had never given her before even though she was his mother-in-law, made her extremely exasperated!Olivia, like the Johnsons, was a fool who failed to recognize valuable items.“Olivia, Alice’s husband seems pretty good!”“Yeah, he doesn’t seem to be as terrible and incompetent as you made him out to be. He gave us such expensive gifts, and most importantly, he’s willing to spend on your parents. He’s really quite a good son-in-law!”A few of them started praising Elijah, and even Mark had a change of attitude.He said to Olivia, “We’re about to have dinner soon, but Oliver and Elijah left because we made them upset just now. Quickly, give him a call and ask them to come back!”Feeling indignant, Olivia deliber

  • Authentic gifts

    With that, Cornelius left in his car without waiting for Sir Johnson to ask him to stay.Sir Johnson was dumbfounded for a long time, but he still couldn’t recover from the shock as he continued to stand in the same spot.The Johnsons used to be countryside villagers, and they basically had no family background or assets.They had even asked Olivia for money to build these two villas that they were living in.Usually, they would rejoice for a long time whenever Olivia gave them thousands of dollars.But just a few minutes ago, they actually flushed away a bag of tea leaves worth more than a million dollars into the sewer.Sir Johnson suddenly felt like he was in a dream, as he found it hard to come to terms with the reality that someone had offered so much money for some tea leaves.Sir Johnson thought of something and suddenly turned around to walk to the courtyard.He went up to Alice, who was inside a room of the other villa, and asked anxiously, “Alice, are the tea leaves you gave

  • Wrong judgement

    Derrick got into his car furiously and instructed his chauffeur to start driving away immediately.By the time the Johnsons came out to chase after him, Derrick’s car was already long gone.Cornelius stood rooted to the ground as he carefully recalled what Derrick said.Indeed, Derrick is a tea connoisseur.Since he said those tea leaves are authentic, it should more likely than not be the case.Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered so much money for a lousy bag of tea leaves.If the tea leaves are authentic, the young man who gifted them to Sir Johnson shouldn’t be an ordinary person.But both Sir Johnson and Dahlia called him a good-for-nothing who freeloads off his wife, and they clearly sounded contemptuous just now. They even threw the tea leaves he gave Sir Johnson into the trash.That just goes to show that they detest him a lot.In that case, Derrick is right.The Johnsons are indeed too ignorant and improvident.Sir Johnson walked toward Cornelius and looked at the car in the

  • Ignorance is not bliss!

    Sir Johnson hurriedly said, “Yeah, Mr. Charleston, you’d better put it back, lest it dirties your hand! This bag of tea leaves is a gift from my grandson-in-law, who’s nothing but a freeloader. He even claimed that it was top-grade tea. Hah, he’s just a penniless live-in husband who sponges off his wife. How can he possibly afford to buy such expensive tea leaves? He was just trying to fool me with some lousy goods!... Ah, the sight of this bag of lousy tea leaves really angers me. I don’t even want to talk about him. It’s such a misfortune of our family!”Dahlia hurriedly said, “Grandpa, why are you getting so worked up because of someone like him? Calm down. Don’t let your health be affected!”Then she said to Derrick, “Mr. Charleston, let me help you dispose of the tea leaves.”Dahlia reached out to grab the bag of tea leaves from Derrick.“Hold it!” Derrick suddenly yelled and moved his hand away from Dahlia’s hand.Instead of putting down the bag of tea leaves, he carefully opene

  • I smell tea

    The two guests who arrived indeed had a higher status than the Johnsons.The first was Dahlia’s paternal grandfather, Cornelius Carlson, an entrepreneur who had founded the Carlson Corp more than two decades ago.It was now developing extremely well, and he had handed the company over to Dahlia’s father, Justus Carlson because he was advanced in his years.This time, he had brought Derrick Charleston, the helmsman of the Charleston family, with him.Although the Charlestons were not a top family, they were the top among the second-rate ones and were not to be belittled.Derrick and Cornelius met in the military when they were younger, and back in the day, they were comrades of the same squad.Derrick had even saved Cornelius’s life during one of the battles they fought.So they had been very close to each other over the years.This time, Cornelius visited the Johnsons to congratulate them as Glenda’s father-in-law.On the other hand, Derrick was just accompanying Cornelius.Sir Johnso

  • Arrival of honored guests

    “Stop it! All of you, shut up!” Sir Johnson roared furiously as he stood up all of a sudden, his face as red as a tomato.But immediately afterward, his body swayed back and forth as if he was about to lose his footing.“Dad!”“Sir Johnson!”All the Johnsons hurriedly rushed forward to hold Sir Johnson and help him to his chair while asking one another to bring his medicine over.Mark pushed away Olivia, who was holding Sir Johnson, with all his might.He cursed, “It’s all your fault. Look how angry you’ve made Dad. God forbid anything happens to him. Otherwise, I won’t spare you guys!”Then he glared at Oliver viciously. “Same goes for you. Don’t think I’ll spare you!”Oliver frowned and really wanted to say something, but he could only fall silent after Elijah tugged his sleeve.Sir Johnson suffered from hypertension, and after getting agitated just now, he became dizzy and lost his balance.After being fed some medicine and getting some rest, he returned to normal.But at this mome
