The wind whistled, causing Elijah Silva to pull his coat together while taking a final look at the campground he had long gotten used to, as well as the familiar faces that accompanied it. He clenched his jaw tightly at the sight. Even as they were all comrades, they knew that there was a significant difference between them and Elijah. Taking a deep breath, Elijah intoned. “Let's go.” He turned around and stepped onto the hatch door of the helicopter that was waiting at the side for him to board. Behind this young man, who looked no older than thirty-two, were several teams of tall, toned, and muscular men standing uniformly in nearby rows. Despite being on the verge of tears, they were standing still with their backs straight, raising their hands in unison to perform a standard and reverent military salute. It was full of enthusiasm and pride. A melancholic smile adorned Elijah's lips as he watched this, unsure of how to respond. To think that there would be a day like this
The Almighty God of War Returns An unexpected meeting
“Finally, back on solid ground!” Thomas exclaimed as he stretched his back while glancing at Elijah who had a nostalgic look on his face while scanning the airport area.The two of them passed through the crowded Crystal Falls International Airport and casually ordered some fast food at the mall outside the airport.“Captain… sorry, I mean, Elijah, your hometown is in the capital, correct?”Elijah casually nodded in response, his gaze sweeping around, seemingly searching for someone.It had been a long time since he left Crystal Falls and now that he had just returned, there were many things for him to tend to.Just then, someone caught his eyes with the person making a gesture with Elijah repeating it to the person.Satisfied with this, the person hurried over with Thomas standing guard beside Elijah.The person was a tall muscular man in a dark coat and glasses.Elijah calmly asked. “Have you got the information?”“Just as you asked.”“Tell me.” “Miss Alice is still alive but she's
The Almighty God of War Returns Selecting a husband
Albert's appearance reminded Elijah of the past that he didn't wish to remember.Back then, he was called an illegitimate child who was abandoned by his father.This caused him to be chased out of his home along with his mother who had all her assets confiscatedAfterward, his mother left the capital and brought Elijah to Crystal Falls, where she worked hard to make ends meet, and although life was tough, she managed to raise him into a proper gentleman.Unfortunately, life seemed to have other plans as she developed a terminal illness in her later years, causing her to be bedridden.At that time, Elijah had just graduated from college and his paltry income wasn't enough to foot the medical bills. Swallowing his pride, he sought help from the Augustus family only to be humiliated just like his mother, leaving him hopeless and resentful towards the family.To save his mother, he'd ended up selling one of his kidneys to raise the money for the surgery but by then, it was already too la
The Almighty God of War Returns Alice
“That's enough, Thomas.” Elijah calmly said, diffusing the tense situation. “But…” “I said, that's enough.” Elijah intoned yet again. “Don't let me repeat myself.” Dissatisfied as he was, Thomas heeded Elijah's command and let go of Oliver's hand, causing the latter to take several steps back in fright, same with Olivia. Alice's parents were frightened, so they didn't dare to make any sudden moves but that didn't mean they were happy to let him do as he pleased. Just then, someone spoke up. “Who's this man and why is he looking for my Alice.” Elijah glanced in his direction only to frown as the person that spoke was a man in his late twenties and though he was dressed fashionably, it was easy to tell that he was both an alcoholic and a licentious individual. “Don't worry about him, Mr. Leroy, he is unimportant.” Olivia intoned with disgust before addressing Elijah. “Look here, Mr. Leroy over there has decided to marry Alice after we have searched for a suitor for her for so lon
The Almighty God of War Returns Blood Cage
Elijah tried to figure out what was happening but Alice was in too panicked a state to give him any clues. The best he could get was a name. “Who is Claire?” Elijah questioned as he called up the agent who had been investigating Alice on his orders. “She is Alice's daughter.” the man quickly replied, causing Elijah to pause. Alice has a daughter?... But who was the father? “Who's the father?” “I don't know, boss, but she is 9 years old.” Elijah frowned only for a thought to come to mind at that moment. However, he didn't dare to think too deeply as he understood that for some reason, Claire was in danger. He'd already sent Alice home with the driver so he planned on saving the girl with Thomas. Sensing his desire, the system reacted almost instantaneously. [Mission Generated] [Mission: The girl who cried wolf] [Reward: +100 Spirit Points] [Note: When ten missions are generated, a special mission will be created] Ignoring the system notifications for now, Elija
The Almighty God of War Returns Hanging by a thread
“Claire,” Elijah muttered as he walked back to where Thomas stood with the little girl. Thomas didn't hesitate to hand her over with Elijah instinctively cradling like she was his child. He didn't know why but he felt like she was his kin, like his blood flowed through her veins. Even as he was a God of Slaughter and a King of War, in this moment, he found himself unable to breathe properly. Holding her tightly, almost like he was scared that she'd fall from his embrace, he muttered. “I didn't come on time. Forgive me.” After what felt like a long while, Claire woke up. “Sir.” She called out as she reached out and wiped away Elijah's tears. “Are you my dad?... But mommy said that my dad is dead, that he died on the battlefield protecting the country.” Elijah's lips quivered as he didn't know how to respond. As it was, he had so many questions so he thought it best to wait until he returned home and had a conversation with Alice. Only then would he be able to resolve the knots
The Almighty God of War Returns Arriving in the nick of time
Dressed in an impeccably black suit, Aiden smirked as he remarked. “Well, well, quite unfortunate, don't you think so?... I did warn you that I'd teach you a lesson. Since you dared to reject me, then you can forget about seeing the end of today, and as for your family, they don't care if you live or die; they just want you gone. As a replacement, your sister seems to be smarter than you, picking the obvious choice.” Though Alice was currently in a coma, a tear slid down her cheek, causing her to appear even more pathetic. Madison glared at Aiden before suddenly lunging at him and grabbing hold of his collar. “You bastard, it was you that put Alice in this condition!... How could you!... Why would you do such a thing?... Hasn't she suffered enough already?” Her cries quickly turned into uncontrollable wails as tears streamed down her cheeks while she pounded her fist against Aiden's chest. In response, Aiden slapped her across the face, before forcibly grabbing her wrist, causing

“Alice!” Elijah exclaimed as he raced into the hospital without a single care in the world, exuding a chilling sensation that spread throughout the entire hospital, engulfing everyone in its powerful presence. He arrived at the entrance of the emergency room only to lay eyes on Alice's fragile body, covered in sweat and struggling to breathe. His heart shattered as he witnessed such a heart wrenching sight, leaving him choked. “Elijah… I'm sorry.” Alice muttered in a hoarse tone, barely holding on to life as she made eye contact with Elijah who was standing at the doorway. Tears flowed down his face, revealing the weight of the sorrow he felt. Alice asked. “Is Claire safe?” “Yes.” “Good.” She said with a smile. “That's very good.” As she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes, and the next moment, the heart monitor emitted a long, steady beep. “No!!!” Elijah let out an angry roar, exuding hostility before fearlessly charging forward to confront the henchmen bl

A strange woman
Deone’s desire to survive pushed him to rush out of the parking lot as he was only focused on one thought.He had to tell the other assassins to avoid the bounty on Elijah's head.The King of the North was not someone they could afford to go against!Looking at Deone's retreating back, Elijah didn't bother to chase after him, because he knew that his internal organs had suffered fatal damage.Meanwhile, Zero continued to struggle to no avail.If he had known that Elijah was so powerful, he wouldn't have dared to approach him even if he had the courage of a thousand men.“I'll give you a chance to live.” Elijah coldly stated as he glanced at Zero. “Tell me the names of all those who accepted the bounty, and I'll spare your life.”“You want me to betray my brothers?... In your dreams!” Zero glared at him and used his last remaining strength to channel his spiritual energy into his core.There was a crisp sound and Zero's core exploded, resulting in a terrifying wave of energy that would
Binary
“Bastard, you are ex-military, right?... I would like to see how you escape these two monsters!” Bernard exclaimed with glee.Elijah regarded the two before inquiring. “Do you lot know who I am?”“Of course. It is an honor to meet with the famed King of the North.”The silence that followed was profound as Bernard couldn't believe what he'd heard.King of the North?... There was no way they were referring to Elijah Silva, the useless son-in-law of the Wesen family who was basically a kept husband, right?As Bernard struggled to come to terms with what he'd heard about Elijah's true identity, the twin assassins licked their lips with relish as they took out their sickles once again, brandishing them with ill intent.“Brother, let me have a go at him first.” Zero, the first of the two assassins, suggested with a chuckle, with Deone replying.“Sure, but you'd best not start crying for help.”“Hehe, don't underestimate me!” Zero exclaimed as he arched his body slightly.There was a burst
Enemies on two fronts
“You may call us the last thing you would see before your death, the end of the road… whatever floats your boat.” The second person said with a chuckle.With a casual thought, Elijah made a guess. “You are assassins.”“Ding ding ding looks like we have a winner.”Elijah was rather surprised that there were those in the underworld who were bold enough to go for the bounty Hacksaw had placed on his head.It seemed not everyone cared for their lives… though judging from the two individuals before him, they seemed like the kind that had little regard for life. Just as he was about to address them, there was a thunderous sound of footsteps.Elijah and the two assassins glanced back to find a group of thugs armed with machetes and steel pipes rushing in.“Hah, so you actually got some help.” one of the assassins said before adding. “Unfortunately, this won't be enough to cause us any trouble!”It was clear that the assassins didn't take the thugs seriously.Elijah raised his brows as he co
Shocking the guests
Celeste's act of declaring Elijah to be a better fit for her than Bernard was immediately met with mixed reactions from the guests, with most of those reactions bordering on confusion.“Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?”“Yes!”“Celeste Ainsworth, heiress of the Ainsworth family likes a kept husband like Elijah Silva?... This doesn't make any sense!”Meanwhile, Bernard stared at Elijah, struggling to figure out why she would prefer Elijah over him before finally coming to a realization.‘She wants someone that she can use and dump whenever she feels like it, so naturally, she would go for a man that has no family backing him.’Taking that into consideration, Bernard remarked. “So that's the problem?... You are threatened by my family name?”“What?”“Isn't that the reason you'd prefer a useless man like Elijah Silva?” Bernard confidently replied causing Celeste to chuckle at his lack of knowledge.“You seem to have made a blunder in your deduction. Why would I feel threatened by you
Is there something on my face?
Due to how Celeste took Alice wherever she went, people began to think that the two had established a close connection.In truth, though they had only spent a day together, Alice had quickly acclimated to the type of person Celeste was and since the two ladies had a lot in common, it didn't take much for them to become friends.Elijah accompanied them a few times but, after a while, grew bored of the constant conversations that usually bordered around the same things.If they weren't trying to form connections, they were trying to catch the attention of the ladies and if not that, they were nitpicking Elijah's presence.Wary of all that, he took a break to head to the toilet and relieve himself.Seeing an opportunity, Bernard didn't hesitate to take it as he immediately made his way over to where Alice and Celeste were.Almost at the same time, the music the DJ was playing shifted from upbeat to a more romantic vibe, and the lights above changed colors from white to a purplish hue.Be
Get-together
Bernard's misinterpretation of the actions of Celeste and Alice was equally shared by the other guests in attendance as they began to gossip among themselves.“Can you imagine that?... Celeste stepped out to greet Bernard herself. It means the rumors of a romance between them are true!”“Forget that, even Alice seems to be interested as well. Ah, how I would kill to gain the interest of even one of these two fairies.”“Heh, stop dreaming. You don't have what it takes. Maybe when you are worth a few hundred million, then you can think of going after them. For now, we can only watch a master at work.”As they continued to discuss, Bernard had a proud smile on his face as he waited for Alice and Celeste to arrive with open arms.The two ladies exchanged looks with one another before looking at Bernard like he was an idiot after which they continued on their way. “Eh… what's going on?... Where are they going… did they stop out of embarrassment?”“Maybe?”As onlookers were confused by the
The Hallowed Crown
Elijah left the City of Sin, completely overwhelmed with everything he'd learned from Zero.Just the fact that Hacksaw, an influential figure loyal to the Prime Minister had placed a bounty on his head meant that the problem in Albion was not just related to a few members of the bourgeoisie.It had also eaten deep into the aristocracy as well, which caused him to wonder just what had happened in the years he was fighting at the northern border.Had he focused so much on the northern border that he didn't realize that there were festering problems within the nation?Letting out a sigh, he took out his cell phone and placed a call to Thomas.“Yes general.”“I need you to look into the current movements of Hacksaw. Let me know if he came to Crystal Falls at any point in time.”“It would be difficult, general. Hacksaw is no ordinary figure and his secrets are just as closely guarded as yours.”“I know. Just find out what you can and relay it to me. As for Chronos' disciples, let them be f
High-risk individual
Considering Elijah was seen as a High-risk Individual, few could be considered his equal in a one-on-one fight.With this understanding, the thugs immediately became respectful. “Right this way.”Elijah was led through the entrance which led to a spacious hall adorned with expensive ornaments.One of the thugs remarked. “I'll inform Zero of your presence. For now, please take a seat.”“Alright.”It didn't take long before Zero arrived, escorted by the thug who went to get him and an additional one who seemed to serve as a bodyguard.He was a buff man with faint wisps of spirit energy floating about his figure.It was easy to tell that he was a cultivator like Elijah.Judging from Zero's physique, it was clear he was most likely a Combatant cultivator, which meant those who focused more on offensive skills when cultivating.He sat across from Elijah and scanned him briefly before speaking up. “My boys told me you are a High-risk Individual. I rather doubt it so I'm here to test it out.
Meeting with Zero
“According to what we recovered, they are most likely aiding Past and Future because they believe they'd be able to get a huge reward at the end,” Thomas reported.Elijah could shake his head, disappointed that civilians could be so easily convinced.The treasure that the disciples of Chronos were searching for was indeed valuable, but retrieving it would cause untold destruction to the entire city.He wondered if they would be able to live with such an outcome.Perhaps, if they could easily be bought with money, they wouldn't care about what happened to the city.Regardless, it was best to ensure that both Past and Future were caught before the situation got out of hand.“Any idea on who the family is?”“Not yet. But they are affiliated with the underworld so talking with Zero would help us uncover their true identity.”“Alright then, organize a meeting. I'll go there myself.”“Understood.”With that, the call ended, and Elijah drove out of the boutique.It didn't take too long befor
