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

    With Present defeated, it didn't take long for the situation to de-escalate as his subordinates were captured and subsequently arrested by Elijah’s forces.The hostages were rescued and immediately sent off for rehabilitation, with the middle school placed on lockdown for the time being.It was a rather traumatic experience so it was understandable that they didn't think about opening up the school just yet.As for the citizens, to help them recover from the attack, the minister announced a public holiday that was to span for two days, allowing everyone to relax and get over the events of the day.For those who died, the White Tiger King announced that they would be buried with honors and their families would be compensated for their losses.And so, for the time being, it seemed as though the effects of the terrorist attack were sure to pass away.“Quite unfortunate.” Past muttered as he watched everything play out on the news.Future chuckled as he replied. “Present was too cocky.

    “Will you not invite me in?” Albert asked with Elijah narrowing his gaze briefly before finally stepping aside.“Say something dumb, and I will kick you out personally,” Elijah warned, with Albert replying with a smile.“No problem at all.”With that, Albert walked into the villa with Elijah leading him to the garden so he wouldn't come across Alice or Claire.Unfortunately, the duo had just stepped into the garden when they arrived.“Daddy!” Claire exclaimed as she rushed over and hugged him with Elijah picking her up.Albert was rather surprised by this as he stared at Claire and then at Alice.“Honey, who is this?” Alice asked.Elijah glanced at Albert as he replied. “Just an acquaintance. No need for you to worry.”“Hmm, alright then.”“Can you take Claire inside?... We have something we need to talk about.”“Alright then,” Alice said before inquiring. “Do you want me to get something?... Like water or snacks?”“That…”“Won't be necessary, dear. You don't have to worry.” Elijah re

    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

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    But the punishment wasn’t over yet because he had made outrageous threats to crush all of Elijah’s bones.So now, it was his turn to bear the consequences of this.With several more cracking sounds, the few elite bodyguards pinning Sparda onto the floor crushed all the bones in his body except for his skull and spine.At this moment, Sparda couldn’t even scream, and his body was drenched in cold sweat, looking as though he had been fished out of water.His underlings didn’t escape the punishment either.Each of them had one of their legs broken and was dragged to the entrance of the restaurant.After the bodyguards threw all these people out of the restaurant, Celeste carefully asked Elijah, “Elijah, those people have all been taken care of. Do you think this is fine?”Elijah nodded casually.Sparda and his underlings were crooks who often got up to malicious misdeeds, so they deserved this fate.But… there was still another person.Elijah suddenly looked at Taylor, who immediately be

    To think that she would appear now all of a sudden.Unfortunately, Celeste didn’t even look at him and walked straight toward Elijah.Afterward, Sparda watched as Celeste walked up to Elijah and said. “Fancy seeing you here, I heard your relatives had a wedding so I thought to attend, so imagine my surprise when I get there to find that you had already left.”“Apologies, a lot happened.”“I guessed as much.”Sparda’s eyes were about to fall out as he watched Elijah speak with Celeste like a friend. All the people in the lobby on the first floor of the Wolf Restaurant were astonished and fell silent.There was instantly dead silence in the lobby!The cold sweat on Sparda’s face immediately trickled down.As long as his brains were working fine, he’d be able to figure out instantly that he had definitely offended the wrong person this time!Elijah wasn’t someone he could afford to provoke at all!“You just said that you were going to break my limbs and make me kneel on the floor and be

  • No one is to move again

    Denise was extremely anxious as she tugged the corner of Elijah’s shirt with a pale expression on her face.Sparda narrowed his eyes. “Punk, you’ve got some nerve! But on account of your girlfriend, I’ll let you off for now. Get lost immediately!”Elijah’s eyes lit up, and he pretended to be happy. “Thank you so much, Sparda. We’ll leave now.”Then he pulled Denise and walked toward the entrance of the restaurant.But the two of them had just taken a few steps when they were stopped by Sparda, who had flown into a rage, and his underlings.“Stop!” Sparda roared in fury. “Punk, are you an idiot, or are you deliberately pretending to be stupid in front of me? I told you to get lost and leave the woman behind! If not for your girlfriend’s sake, I would have broken both of your legs by now!”Then he looked at Denise threateningly. “Babe, a woman like you should find a man who can protect you. This punk next to you can’t protect you at all. If you stay with him, you’re going to suffer all
