The Almighty God of War Returns A cruel manager
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
The Almighty God of War Returns Stepping up
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
The Almighty God of War Returns Attending a concert
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!...

The Almighty God of War Returns Settle down or die
“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
The Almighty God of War Returns Bomb threat
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
The Almighty God of War Returns Logan and his cronies
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
The Almighty God of War Returns Played for a fool
“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.”
The Almighty God of War Returns Roland family auction
“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

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
Celeste's probing
Silence reigned for a few seconds after Alice asked the question plaguing for so long with Celeste meeting her gaze calmly.Just as she felt like she had struck a nerve, Celeste spoke up, chuckling in amusement as she replied. “Do you think I have an ulterior motive?”“... Do you not?” Alice asked, feeling skeptical.Celeste beamed. “Well, it might seem that way but I promise that it's nothing like that.”“Then, why?”“Well, I've always admired you. You're a genius and I would like to build a relationship with you.”“You wish to build a relationship with me?”“Of course,” Celeste said. “I mean, you were able to attract investments from Jeffery Felton and Gilbert Strong, two powerhouses in the corporate world. So naturally, I'd like to get in on whatever they saw.”“Oh,” Alice muttered, a trace of disappointment welling up within her.Even though she had expected that Celeste wasn't acting all friendly for no reason, she didn't realize it was for such a reason.But then again, it was b
An impulsive young miss
Velvet Fashions was one of the many brands owned by the Ainsworth estate.Unlike most other families that had family companies, the Ainsworths didn't have that.As they were a noble house that had grown their wealth to an unimaginable degree during the monarchic era of Albion, they saw no reason to create a company.Instead, they busied themselves with investing in various brands and making them their own; that way, they wouldn't have to go through the stress of building a particular brand from scratch.So far, the Ainsworth family owned several brands in several different sectors, each one worth at least ten million dollars.Altogether, it was estimated that if they were to merge all the brands they owned, the net worth of the merged company would be closing in on ten billion dollars!In any case, as the heiress of the Ainsworth estate, Celeste hardly bothered with the brands they owned, only taking action in severe cases.But when she received a report of the situation in Velvet, sh
An interesting turn of events
Kendrick was beaten so much to the point that he didn't even dare to utter a sound.Only then did Harvey leave him be, shifting his attention to Elijah and Alice, both of whom had witnessed his brutality.Meanwhile, Louisa wished to say something only for Harvey to glare in her direction, shutting her up instantly.“Mr. Vaughn, you came rather quickly.” Elijah intoned with Harvey trembling as he heard his voice.Taking a few steps forward, everyone thought that Harvey intended to dish out the same level of violence he'd given to Kendrick, to Elijah.So imagine their surprise when he dropped to his knees and bowed to Elijah and Alice.Everyone in the boutique was dumbfounded, especially Luna.After being married to Kendrick for so long, how could she not know Harvey?He was a no-nonsense individual that was remarkably arrogant.Even Kendrick's father, who was his elder brother and head of the Vaughn family, didn't dare to force Harvey to his knees.Yet on this day, Harvey Vaughn was kn
