“Stop with the formalities, just call me Caleb.”

As he spoke, he crossed the distance to sit beside Alice before attempting to hold her.

Alice immediately backed away as she had begun to suspect foul play.

“Sorry, please excuse me.”

“Where are you…”

She didn't even give Caleb a chance to say anything as she tried to get up only to fall back into the couch.

“Come on, Alice, you are going to hurt yourself,” Caleb said as he tried to hold her again, only for Alice to push him away before hurriedly rushing to the penthouse bathroom.

She might have left the penthouse completely but she was scared that she wouldn't even be able to get anywhere far before she'd end up collapsing.

So, she chose the next best thing, locking the bathroom once she was inside before proceeding to call Elijah.

“And finally, my runaway wife decides to call me. How's the meeting going?”

“Eli, I'm in trouble. I think I was drugged.”

“What?” Elijah could hardly believe his ears.

“I'm still at Serenity. Come quickly.”

    Taking a deep breath, Elijah sent some of his spiritual energy into Alice's body to deal with the drugs, flushing them out as quickly as he could before they caused irreversible damage.Fortunately, he was successful, allowing Alice's breathing to return to normal.Of course, that didn't mean she was out of the woodwork just yet.There was still a bit of damage so it would take some time before Alice would fully recover.With that in mind, Elijah made a mental note to ensure that Alice stayed indoors until she was well again.With that understanding, he was about to leave only to pause as he noticed several security guards standing at the exit.Even as they stood there in full force, wielding weapons and wearing appropriate armor, none dared to step forward.It was just one man but that man appeared like a monster, one that they didn't dare to go against.And so, they took steady steps back, unwilling to engage with Elijah.Ignoring them, Elijah began to take his leave only to hear th

    “That's fine. You had no way of knowing that you would be in danger. No need to blame yourself.”“But still…”“That's enough. Don't worry, I don't blame you for anything.”“Thank you.”“You're welcome,” Elijah said as he reached out and stroked her luscious hair.Taking a deep breath, Alice leaned in and enjoyed the strokes before she finally recalled something. “How long has it been?”“Don't even think about it.” Elijah immediately said.“What?”“You are thinking of going back to work but that's not happening.”“But…”“But nothing. You will stay in bed and recover. You'll only leave when I'm satisfied.”“But…”“Alice.”“Hmmph, fine.”“Good. Also, from now on, you will have a driver who will also act as your escort. Don't worry; the escort will be a woman, so you don't have to worry about anything.”“Isn't that a bit too much?”“Alice, what if I wasn't able to get there on time?... Neither of us would have been able to forgive ourselves, so for our good, it's best to take precautions.

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   A simple plan

    The plan was simple.Elijah Silva was too powerful a man to deal with straightforwardly, so why not go round back and force him into a situation where he is no longer as terrifying?The first thought involved kidnapping Alice and placing her on a pedestal, giving Elijah the choice to save her or save himself.As a family man who loved his family, they guessed that he would foolishly choose to save his wife.Oh, what one does for love?Unfortunately, Alice had been at home for quite some time, and considering what had placed her in her current state, they guessed that Elijah might no longer be so lax about her security.And so, they went for the next best thing.His daughter.Led by Present, one of Chronos’ disciples, the gunmen had one goal; ensuring Elijah Silva did not see the end of the day.They locked down the entire school, utilizing the students, teachers, and anyone else they could find as hostages.As it was, the police had already arrived, accompanied by firefighters and sev

    Standing on the roof of the highest building in the middle school, Present was afforded the view of what was happening below.He wasn't worried about being shot as he was wearing a relic that could deflect ordinary bullets.With his hands behind his back, he appeared as a figure worthy of respect.“Boss, no sign of Elijah Silva yet.” One of his subordinates remarked from behind him.“Is that so?” Present muttered in amusement. “It seems he doesn't care much about his daughter or perhaps he has already begun the plan to save her.”“What do you command?”“You know, doing all this just to end one man is a bit too much, don't you think?”“I don't understand, boss.”“I'm saying we should stop thinking so small. Why not get the entire city in on the fun?”After saying that, Present ordered the subordinate to get him a megaphone.With it, he remarked. “People of Crystal Falls, I am sure you all have been waiting, wondering what I and my people want. Well, I believe it's time for the big reve

    The commisoner’s first mistake was thinking that the police officers under him were infallible and his second was thinking that they wouldn't betray him given the right push.The officer who shot Elijah was quickly apprehended, but by then, the Commissioner felt it was already too late.“Why did you shoot him?” “Because he is an obstacle.” The officer said with a dark look in his eyes.To ordinary people, it would seem he had lost his mind but to those attuned to the spiritual energy of the world, they would be able to tell that he was being manipulated.Just as the person controlling the officer was about to celebrate as he was hidden on another floor, he felt someone tap him from behind causing him to look back only to find Elijah standing behind him.“How…”“I'm guessing you are part of the Ghoul King's subordinates. Unhappy that I dealt a heavy blow to your leader?” Elijah inquired with the person glaring at him.Ignoring the fear in his heart, the demonic cultivator gritted his

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Making a move

    The residents of Crystal Falls were in a panic as they realized just how severe their current situation was.Present would not hesitate to kill everyone in the middle school if they didn't do something to stop him.Was it right to give up on an entire school's worth of people for the sake of one person?They didn't think so. And so, it didn't take long before riots ensued with the people clamoring for the government to quickly apprehend Elijah Silva and hand him over to the terrorists.Some didn't even bother asking as they began to search for leads themselves in a bid to save their loved ones.Present chuckled at the sight, his eyes filled with a twisted sense of joy. “Now that's more like it. Humans are so easy to manipulate. I do wonder why it took so long for Elijah Silva to be defeated. Regardless, I will take it as my opportunity to no longer be just a disciple but to qualify as a disaster, the Fourteenth Disaster.”***Elijah jumped into the water reservoir without hesitation,

    Present dragged Madison, Claire, and Adam to the roof of the tallest building, intending to show the city and, in particular, Elijah Silva, just how cruel he could be.Naturally, once the onlookers got wind of this, they shrieked in terror.“Oh my goodness, he has brought out more hostages!”“Don't tell me he plans to kill them as well.”“Aren't those kids?”“He's a monster!”“Somebody save them!”Unfortunately, despite their cries, no one dared to approach them as they knew that it was impossible to get past the terrorists blocking the gates.The police officers felt so powerless that they couldn't even look at the scene.It was too embarrassing and a clear showing that when it mattered the most, they couldn't do anything.The helicopter hovering in the sky had a negotiator on board and so the person tried to convince Present.“You don't have to do this!... Let us negotiate terms.”“I have already given you my terms; bring me Elijah Silva, and I will let everyone go.”“We are trying

    Elijah considered taking a shot from long range but Present was smart.He had positioned his body in a way that no matter what, if anything happened to him, Madison would end up falling over the edge with him.Taking a moment to ponder more options, Elijah remarked. “So what now?” “What now?... Well, to be honest, I'm not quite sure. I'm tempted to get you to just kill yourself but I have a feeling it would not be possible. So let's do this.”Present took out a knife from his pocket and then tossed it towards Elijah.“Use that instead. As long as you are willing to stab your core with that knife, then I'd let her go.”Elijah glanced down at the knife, quickly realizing Present’s intentions.He wanted to weaken Elijah by having him lose his status as a cultivator.“General!” Thomas immediately called out as he was quick to decipher the situation as well.“General, if you use that knife, this nation would lose another protector, we can't let that happen,” Jeffery said from the side.El

    “Mark, you useless thing! Other than causing me trouble, what good are you for?” Azazel took a deep drag of his cigarette, a look of ecstasy on his face.“What are you talking about! God! I’m a member of the Hell's Kitchen too! If you’re so great, why don’t you take over as my boss? Don’t think I want to cooperate with you, you maniac!”Feeling belittled by his comrade’s words, Mark was embarrassed.His expertise lay in tracking and disguise; he couldn’t possibly compare to others in actual combat.Without his meticulous planning, how could they have possibly intercepted them on this street!“Are you two done yet?”Elijah slowly walked down from the car, looking at the two men in front of him.“Hey man, are you Elijah?”Azazel put out the cigarette in his hand, and then pulled a photograph from his pocket.“That’s right! It’s you.”After comparing for a moment, he crumpled the photograph into a ball and casually tossed it into the grass by the roadside.As Azazel tossed the photo, a s

    “You ordered someone to chop down the General?” Thomas coldly said.Then, he ordered. “Pick him up!”Behind him, several soldiers walked over to Stanley and hoisted him up.“General, how do you want to handle this?”Elijah remarked. “Let them off with a warning.”“Understood.” Thomas nodded. “Turn off the lights!”Thomas gently touched his nose and then turned to look at the restaurant manager.Shhh!In an instant, the bright restaurant plunged into darkness.Many customers who were waiting to watch the excitement were caught off guard and started to panic.Some even pulled out their phones to record, but now in complete darkness, they couldn’t see a thing.Crack!The sound of a severe collision and bones breaking reached everyone’s ears.Then came the powerless roar of Stanley.His mouth was firmly covered by a soldier, leaving him unable to scream.Another muffled sound!Two-face felt a chill down his spine, and his breathing became hurried.Stanley was, after all, a boss with hundr

    “Two-face, right? Tell me what you are here for!” Elijah grabbed a chair and sat down, crossing his legs casually.In the face of these people, there was no trace of panic on his face.A Sinister Six employee took off his sunglasses and pointed at Elijah, roaring. “You dare to sit in front of us!”Two-face had a high status within the Sinister Six, equivalent to the second-in-command.Within the group, apart from the first of his name, no one dared to sit while talking to Two-face.Now, not only was Elijah sitting, but he was also sitting back with his legs crossed, which greatly dissatisfied the employees under Two-Face.Before the man could open his mouth again, Two-face slapped him across the face!“Big Brother…l!”The employee covered his face, clearly not understanding what had just happened.Two-face pointed at him, shaking with anger, “Someone, take him out and cripple him!”“Big Brother!”The employees closest to him showed their confusion.They didn’t understand what the man

    Elijah had thought that after the lesson at the Hallowed Crown, this fool would restrain himself.But it turned out the man was like a mangy dog that just wouldn’t learn.“Elijah! Don’t be too arrogant! You dare to cross Master Pierce today, you think you can leave alive?”Having his sore spot uncovered, Bernard’s face immediately darkened. He turned to look at Alice, forcing a smile as he said, “Quick, leave this place. When the Sinister Six’s people arrive, you can’t avoid being implicated! ”“No need!”Alice cut him off without courtesy, “Wherever Elijah is, that’s where I’ll be! Bernard Carlson, don’t bother with your hypocritical act in front of me!”‘You…”Her words made Bernard Carlson’s face turn a shade of ugly one seldom sees.Even with his identity, why was he always looked down upon!“Master Pierce, as far as I know, this woman doesn't believe you can handle her!”With a hardened heart, Bernard turned and spoke to Stanley.If he couldn’t have her, then he would destroy her

  • Keeping bad company

    Regaining his composure, Stanley struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed a wine bottle from a nearby table, and swung it towards Elijah’s head! Facing the charging Stanley, Elijah kicked out, flipping him onto a table nearby. The glass table was flipped over by the sheer force, shattering into pieces upon colliding with the marble floor tiles. “Ouch! That really hurts!” The force of the kick was immense, and Stanley lay on the ground wailing in pain. “Master Pierce, are you alright?” With all the commotion, Pierre sobered up quite a bit. He called out to his brother, “Lucas, call people over!” They were in real estate development and kept a group of thugs on the payroll. These men spent their days in idleness, mainly dealing with demolition work. Whenever there was trouble, these were the men who would step in. “Bastard, you’re going to regret this in a minute!” Seeing that the opponent was skilled, Lucas didn’t face him head-on. He took out his phone and diale

  • Good or bad

    “Hubby.” Alice suddenly called out, jolting Elijah from his thoughts.“Ah, apologies, of course, I'll join you.” Elijah swiftly replied as he regained his composure.“Good. I'll send you the restaurant address, don't be late.” Alice said.“Understood.”Once the call ended Elijah called up Thomas to check on the investigative journalist he'd saved.For the time being, he was recovering fine and there hadn't been any suspicious movement.Though it was meant to be good news, both Elijah and Thomas knew quite well that they couldn't start celebrating just yet.Time would tell if it was good or bad. ***Two hours later, Elijah had just arrived at the restaurant when Alice called him.She must have been worried about him taking too long, fearing he might have encountered danger.“I’m downstairs now, don’t worry,” he said with a smile after answering the call. After quickly ascending the stairs, Elijah spotted Alice sitting in a chair.But the next moment, his expression suddenly grew dark

  • On his toes

    Although Julio was baffled as to why the Abnomars forbade them from dealing with Elijah even after Sir Walter’s death and even seemed to have the intention of letting him off, he had no choice but to obey Marc’s orders and quickly agreed, “Yes, Mister Abnomar!”After leaving the Hernandezs’ manor, Marc raised his head to look into the distant sky with a vicious gaze in his eyes. “Hmph, Elijah Silva, I’ll let you live for a few more days. Soon, you will die without a grave!”Soon, the news of Diego’s death spread throughout Crystal Falls.The Hernandezs merely told everyone that Diego had died because of a sudden cardiac arrest resulting from the shock of the tragic death of his grandson Liam.But only ordinary people would be fooled by this explanation.The people of the top families all found his death to be very bizarre.After all, even though Diego was almost 70 years old, he had always been in good health and had never suffered from any heart disease.So they found it unlikely tha

  • Do you hear me?

    Lincoln glanced at Diego and warned with a sinister expression, “I said, I want to hear the truth! Don’t make me repeat myself!”Diego suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and large sweat droplets trickled down his wrinkled face.Various thoughts flashed through Diego’s mind as he quickly tried to think of what to say.But Lincoln’s patience was wearing thin. He pulled out a pistol and started fiddling with it.Seeing that the situation was turning awry, Diego could no longer worry about anything else. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Abnomar, actually, last night…”The loud and sudden gunshot startled everyone.Before Diego could finish his sentence, his expression stiffened and would remain that way forever.A bloody hole had appeared in his forehead, and blood was still gushing out of it.Immediately afterward, his old and frail body weakened completely, and he collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud.This scene made everyone in the guest hall fall silent, and only the sounds of their hea

    At this moment, Ricardo inched close to Diego and said eagerly, “Dad, you can’t let him off! Otherwise, the Abnomars will definitely hold us responsible. When the time comes, none of us will be able to escape!... I don’t believe that there’s really someone in this world who isn’t afraid of getting shot by guns! He must be lying and boasting just to scare us. Any one of us here can fire several bullets through his body! Even if we can’t kill on the spot, he will definitely sustain injuries. Even if he can fly, he won’t be able to escape our premises!... I don’t believe that he can really hurt you! There are so many bodyguards in front of you to protect you. No matter what, he can’t do anything to you!”Diego quickly thought about his words and nodded lightly.But at this moment, Alec suddenly stomped his foot against the ground and began moving!“Shoot!” Diego immediately yelled, his heart skipping a beat.But humans are not machines after all.From the moment they received Diego’s com
