Gilbert was furious as he sat in his office, having heard what Alice had to say.“I never knew that Gold Lake was no longer mine to control as I see fit. To think that someone would dare claim they can overturn my decision!”Alice remarked. “That's indeed what Victor Roland claims.”Snorting derisively, Gilbert intoned. “Give me a moment, I'll get back to you soon.”“Sure.”With that, the call ended and Gilbert got to work investigating Victor's ludicrous claims.He quickly learned that truly, behind his back, his vice manager had taken a bribe from the Roland family for the orders they'd received which was why Victor dared to speak so proudly.Of course, this left Gilbert furious as he immediately fired his vice manager and called up the department in charge of the current orders to cancel the agreement with the Roland family.And just to ensure that there wouldn't be a repeat of such in Gold Lake, he placed a van on the Roland family, ensuring that they wouldn't have anything to do
The Almighty God of War Returns The seventh day
Alice's decision was a no-brainer, as she replied. “I accept Grandpa. Thank you.”Mr. Wesen chuckled as Alice embraced him before hurrying over to Elijah's side.“Did you hear that?... We won!” Alice said excitedly with Elijah nodding.“Indeed, we did.”As Alice and Elijah celebrated, others could only look on with complicated looks on their faces.Naturally, they weren't happy that Elijah would be staying, but they had no choice but to accept him unless they wished to go against Mr. Wesen, which would surely not end well for them.***Meanwhile, at the Roland family villa, the air was dense with tension as members of the family gathered in the main meeting hall to discuss the current situation.As it was, the only thing keeping them out of bankruptcy was the little savings that had been kept aside for rainy days.One wrong move and they would be completely ruined.To think that they had lost both their wealth and their patriarch in the space of a few days.“It's not my fault. Alice W
The Almighty God of War Returns A great battle
As Elijah and his men marched towards the Leroy family manor, Steven sat waiting in the grand hall alongside several elders of the family.Exuding a cold aura, Steven had made enough preparations to ensure that if Elijah dared to show his face, he would never return.“Would that fool dare to come here to find trouble with us?” one of the Leroy family elders remarked with another calmly replying.“I doubt he would be that dense.” “The fact that he dared to capture Aiden, the heir to this family already shows that he is dense enough to do anything. But if he dares to show his face, I will be the one to take his worthless life, that is a promise!”“Indeed. We will use him as an example to make sure that no one else would dare to go against us.” Just then, Steven made a declaration. “Today, we'll use the fool that dared to take my son captive to show everyone in Crystal Falls that the Leroy family should not be underestimated.”Just as everyone was about to cheer, they all paused as the
The Almighty God of War Returns A one-sided slaughter
“Who are you?” Steven asked in a hoarse tone, his body trembling as he stared at Elijah who was standing over him.Covered in the blood of his enemies, Elijah appeared like a bloodthirsty god of war, his eyes radiating a chill like none other.If not for his appearance, one might mistake him as not a human, but a monster. Staring at such a person, Steven felt such primal fear that it left him dazed.Looking around to find that he was the last one left, he knew that the Leroy family was finished.Not only had he failed to destroy Elijah, but he had ended up leading his family to destruction instead.It wasn't even a battle and was, instead, a one-sided slaughter.Why had he been so adamant about saving a foolish son like Aiden?... He could have gathered many more.That was when he understood that this battle was not because he wanted to save Aiden, but because of his ego that Elijah had bruised so thoroughly.He wished to teach Elijah a lesson only to be the one on the receiving end.
The Almighty God of War Returns Silva family outing
Elijah wasn't too bothered that Steven had sent the women and children away as he wouldn't have harmed them if they were present.That was the reason he had given Steven seven days to prepare, so he would send away the liabilities to avoid any complications.Of course, there was the possibility that those survivors would come back for revenge with the family Steven had appealed to backing them but that would be the same as those people signing their death warrants.Elijah could allow them to escape, but returning would leave him no choice but to execute them.In any case, he remarked. “Thank you for letting me know but there's no reason to worry.”“I see.” Dick nodded in understanding.He'd only told Elijah about the survivors because he thought Elijah would want to go after them since they posed a certain amount of risk, but that alone was a foolish thought.As the King of the North and the War God of Avalon, who would be foolish enough to go after him?... And even if they did come,
The Almighty God of War Returns Hand me the gun
“Whoa, what's going on?... I thought the park shut down?... Now it's opening for them?”“This makes no sense, though. I don't mind considering I got my money back.”“Guys, I just had an insane thought. What if the entire park was shut down because of them?”“Hah, are you crazy?... That's not possible. Do you think the owners of FunCity can be moved so easily?”As the people murmured amongst themselves, curious to know who the owners of the car were and why the park was shut down, they soon scattered, returning to their vehicles to take their leave.Finally, Elijah stepped out of the car, wearing a plain tee and a pair of jeans, while Alice sported a sundress, and Claire also wore a sundress with flower patterns.A few of those who saw them in the parking lot immediately became curious as they inquired amongst themselves.“Who could that guy be?.... Wait, isn't that Ms. Alice, the current general manager of Wesen Group?... Who is the man and child with her?”“I think that's her husband
The Almighty God of War Returns Mummy is scared of heights
“You should close your mouth, a fly might get in.” He remarked with Jay dumbly nodding in response. After barely recovering from his shock, Jay had to admit that Elijah's skill was top-notch. He handed over the panda while inquiring if Elijah had ever thought about joining the army, a question which was met with a resounding no. Then Elijah glanced at Claire and handed over the panda as he remarked. “Here you go, a cute stuffed panda for a cute young lady.” “Yay!” Claire celebrated as she took the stuffed panda. “Daddy's the best.” “If you say so, then it must be true.” Elijah shamelessly remarked earning a side eye from Alice. Elijah met her gaze and smiled sheepishly while Jay watched on, still struggling to understand how Elijah was a better shot than he was. *** Time spent at the amusement park went better than expected. After hanging over the stuffed panda to Claire, a gesture that brought a bright smile to her face, Elijah led the family to where the go-karts we
The Almighty God of War Returns A surprise guest at lunch
After roughly two hours of driving, they arrived at the skydiving range with quite a few planes already prepped and ready to go. Having already made preparations before now, the Silva family were warmly received by the owner of the range who recommended their best pilot and skydiving instructor to take charge of their experience. “I'm Cole, I'll be your pilot, and this is Anderson; he'll be your skydiving instructor.” A dark-skinned man with an amiable smile intoned while flanked by a blonde-haired man who nodded acknowledgment. Satisfied that they didn't go overboard with their treatment for him, Elijah was able to focus entirely on enjoying the experience. Anderson went ahead to give them a brief tutorial and how things were done, from the attire they'd have to wear to how to use a parachute and breathing exercises to help with the jump. By the time the tutorial was over, an hour and a half had gone by. Thankfully, Alice was a quick learner, and this wasn't the first ti

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
