Elijah's lips voice echoed throughout the field, sounding like a death knell to those who heard it The guests didn't dare to wait as they realized that bloodshed was sure to follow given the circumstances. Within seconds, they were gone, leaving behind members of the Roland family and Garret's subordinates. The latter group was left confused, unsure of how to act as they stared at the dead body of their superior. That hesitation cost them as Leo and Thomas moved like ghosts, ending the lives of two out of them before the others could react. Unfortunately, it didn't change the fact that they were unable to take on the members of the Dragon Legion. It didn't even take up to ten minutes before the battle was over with the Dragon Legion emerging victorious in the battle at which point Elijah got a system notification. [Mission completed] [1000 Spirit Points received] In the meantime, Members of the Roland family were too stunned to speak, completely overcome by terror as th
After the meeting with the mysterious figure, David left the lounge and put a call across to his father.“Yes, Dad, he said he can help us cover our tracks and even make it look like it's Alice who carried out the transactions.”“Good, that's very good. Send the money to him and get the proof. I'm going to meet with your grandfather later today. He will surely throw a fit once he learns about this.”“Understood. I'll do so now.”Meanwhile, as the Wesen family plotted against Alice without her knowledge, she went back to work while Elijah headed for the military barracks in the city to report what happened with Commander Garret and his subordinates.Due to this, none of them were able to pick up Claire from school, so Alice asked her friend Maddie, who also had a child, to pick Claire up since her son, Adam, and Claire was attending the same primary school, both being in the 4th grade.After the incident with Aiden Leroy, she managed to recover properly and felt indebted to the Silva f
“Who dared to bully my wife and child?” The man accompanying Betty questioned loudly, putting a substantial amount of fear in most of those present.Of course, Elijah didn't even act like he was bothered as he was prepared to take Claire, Maddie, and Adam away.Betty pointed in their direction and the man marched over like an angry bull.“You did well, Adam, thank you for protecting Claire,” Elijah said as he praised Adam for his bravery, completely ignoring the approaching figures.“Mum and Dad always say that when you see something wrong, you should always try to make it right.”“And that is an admirable trait. From now on, you are Claire's brother. I'll make sure to treat you like family.”“Really?” Adam was excited upon hearing this.Claire had always said that her dad was a cool soldier, and Adam had a dream of one day being a soldier, so it was nice knowing that the person he admired saw him in such a way.Meanwhile, Maddie was feeling tense as she understood that the current si
As the armed men gathered around Caleb, he remarked while pointing at Elijah. “I want you to break his arms and legs and drag him across this playground like a dog!”All his subordinates immediately looked in Elijah's direction while emanating a potent killing intent.“You are the one that dared to attack our boss?... Good, very good, you can forget about leaving here alive!... If you want mercy, break your arms and legs yourself and crawl over here and plead for your life!”Meanwhile, Maddie struggled to keep the two children from panicking as they watched Elijah quickly get surrounded by the bad men. [Mission generated][Dealing with thugs][Reward: 1000 Spirit Points]Elijah ignored the system notification as he cracked his neck and his fist, clearly preparing himself for a fight.Naturally, this didn't sit well with the armed thugs as one of them remarked. “You think you can take all of us?”“I've never met someone more arrogant!”“If we don't teach you a lesson, you'd think you
“It's my card. So you don't have to rely solely on the black card your grandfather gave you. Also, you can use it to purchase all you need for your brand.”Alice looked at the card, quickly realizing how much of a masterpiece it was.It was unlike any bank card she was familiar with, as it was made completely of silver and decorated in a manner that was too eye-catching to ignore.“How much is in it?” Alice asked with Elijah shrugging.“I have no idea.”“Then how can you be sure it has enough money to do everything I want?”Elijah smirked though he didn't bother to explain.The silver card contained everything he'd ever gotten during his time on the battlefield.It wasn't just liquid funds, but relics and other unique items as well.When he last checked, it was worth almost a trillion dollars, and since it wasn't only money that it contained, its value was constantly increasing.He didn't need money so he thought it best to hand it over to his wife.In any case, he didn't need the car
“You won't be working with Wesen Group. You'd be working with me. Is that acceptable?” Alice asked, feeling rather nervous.She understood that what she was asking for was not something that most business owners would be comfortable with.Working with Wesen Group meant that they wouldn't need to worry about how to recoup their investments in case of a loss.With an individual, if anything ever went wrong, they wouldn't even know where to start from as the person could easily flee, ensuring that they wouldn't be caught.Taking a deep breath, she quickly explained. “Of course, you won't have to worry about me running away or anything of that sort. In truth, I plan on purchasing my own company, separate from Wesen Group. That company would be the one to work with Silver Sparrow.”“There's no need to explain, Miss Alice.” Jeffery suddenly remarked, causing Alice to pause.“What do you mean?”“I mean, even if you don't plan on purchasing a company, I'd still sign the agreement to work with
“You think I don't know that you are the ones responsible for the death of my parents!""Don't make false allegations, Ms. Lester, I doubt you'd be able to pay for the lawsuit that would follow if you are wrong." Philip mocked but Phoebe wasn't willing to back down."I'm going to find evidence and when I do, be prepared to pay back for everything you've done. You have done so much evil, just know that karma is not far away.""Haha, Karma?... Are you stupid?... Bullion is king in Crystal Falls. There's nothing like karma before us."Phoebe remained silent, not deeming it necessary to give a response.Her stance was already clear and her goal apparent.It was left for Philip to make his choice."You won't back down till the end, Ms. Lester.""Get out of my office.""You will regret this…""Get out!" Philip snorted as he got to his feet and left, with Phoebe barely able to restrain her anger.It had been 2 years, 2 years of constant bad luck, from losing her parents to having so much on
Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly felt faint, causing her to stagger back, only for Elijah to step forward to stop her from falling."You… why are you here?" She inquired, unable to make sense of what was happening.Elijah grinned. "I'd like to buy your bank."Phoebe sobered up immediately."You what?""I want to purchase your bank.""... Why?" Phoebe couldn't help but ask.Elijah promptly replied. "Because my wife wants it."***Philip had sent thugs to deal with Phoebe during the night, asking that they make it look like an accident just like they had done for her parents.But imagine their disappointment when they found no one at home.The next day, Philip rushed to PayUp to find out if Phoebe had come to work, and as he expected, she was in her seat."Oh, Mr. Philip, you are here," Phoebe remarked, all smiles, a complete contrast to her demeanor of yesterday.Philip quickly realized that something was wrong but unable to place his finger on it, he inquired. "Have you
Letting out a sigh, Elijah decided not to push the matter. The Ghoul King glared at Elijah as he bellowed. "You haven't seen the last of me!"Elijah didn't even offer a response as he gave him a perfunctory glance before turning to leave, causing the Ghoul King to feel even more humiliated at being treated as less than an insect."Ah!" He screamed out as Thomas ordered his men to arrest the terrorists, taking them all into custody before they left the scene.Starting from tonight, tales of Elijah Silva's bravery would be told for weeks to come.It was the advent of a great hero in Crystal Falls.***After dealing with the Ghoul King, Elijah left the White Tiger King to handle the collateral damage and also to ensure that the press didn't make too much noise about what had happened.This was to prevent Elijah from becoming too much of a central figure as that would draw too much attention to him and also, to prevent others like the Ghoul King from realizing that their plans had failed
Elijah smirked as he stared down the Ghoul King, the latter feeling quite tense though he didn't show it.'Who does he think he is?... I am the Ghoul King!... No man can dare to disrespect me and expect to survive. No, if I don't show this fool his place, he would think he was the Emperor.'"I will give you one last chance, Mr. Silva. Accept my offer or I will make you regret being born.""Just shut up and fight me already." Elijah casually said, causing the Ghoul King to go red in anger and humiliation."Good, very good. Best keep up that attitude once I'm done with you.""Don't worry, I don't plan on losing it."The Ghoul King gritted his teeth but said nothing more as he prepared to unleash his Martial Technique.'Don't worry; once I'm done with you, you'll regret ever doing all this.'With that thought, the Ghoul King attacked, forming a fist and throwing a punch once he'd reached Elijah.However, that was all… then he found himself on the ground, face first with his body aching t
Utilizing his Spirit energy to cloak the car, ensuring that it was as strong as an armored tank, Elijah bulldozed his way through the Minister's villa gates and made his way into the empty street outside.Meanwhile, his heroics weren't left unseen by the soldiers protecting the villa as they stared in utter disbelief at what they could only describe as a miracle.None could explain how Elijah had managed to defeat the terrorists blockading the gate and that caused them to feel even more awe for him. “Who was that?”“I have no idea.”“Maybe that's the White Tiger King?”Thomas snorted. “Think again, that's the King of the North!”At the same time, the reporters in the helicopter caught the incident on camera.[Oh my gosh, Breaking news; is Crystal Falls seeing the rise of a hero?... Attackers that proved difficult for law enforcement to defeat have been taken down by one man who is now en route toward an uncertain destination. Just what is going on and is this a sign of good things to
Up above the Minister's villa, a reporter helicopter hovered just out of sight as those within reported the situation in the area[Breaking news: The Minister's villa is under attack by terrorists, with several dignitaries put in harm's way. Though still no demands have been made, the terrorists have unleashed firearms on the people trapped in the building, giving them little opportunity to escape. So far, law enforcement has done little to repel the invaders though they have succeeded in disarming bombs that the terrorists had planned to use to threaten those in the Minister's villa. With little idea of how things are going to proceed, we can only hope that Crystal Falls survives this disaster]Meanwhile, on the ground, the dignitaries and men of substance who were forced to stay in the Minister's villa began to complain."How long do we have to wait here?... What if those terrorists get tired of waiting and attack us?... Some are still even in the building right now!""What is the g
Lucas glanced at the White Tiger King, expecting him to come to his aid but imagine his surprise when that didn't happen as instead, the White Tiger King let out a resigned sigh before settling back into his chair.He was going to do as Elijah instructed and rest, which meant he was on his own.Just what was the meaning of this?Gritting his teeth, Lucas glared at Elijah before suddenly, a smile blossomed on his lips.The next instant, he began to laugh, his demeanor changing as his aura shifted from serene to terrifying.The White Tiger King reacted almost instantaneously as he recognized the aura to be similar to the Ghoul King.“It broke my heart to crush his ego, but I had no choice; he turned out to be a bit too useless.” Lucas suddenly said his tone of speaking was completely different from before.“What's the meaning of this?” The White Tiger King questioned with Elijah speaking up.“You never won against the Ghoul King, White; all you did was destroy his body, but considering
“That's quite the interesting evaluation.” Elijah calmly said as he moved to sit with the White Tiger King.The White Tiger King chuckled and was just about to speak when he began to cough incessantly, causing his expression to turn pale as he heaved and huffed.Lucas immediately got to his feet and methodically, pulled out a vial filled with blue liquid from his pocket before administering it to the General.A few minutes passed before the White Tiger King regained himself, his breathing steadying as his complexion got slightly healthier.Of course, this didn't mean he was completely healed as his previous energetic demeanor was gone, replaced with apparent fatigue.“How do you feel?” Elijah asked.The White Tiger King replied in a hoarse tone. “Terrible.”It was clear that he regretted having to retire after everything he had experienced in his life.“As it is, I can only hope that I get a few more years of life before this injury claims my life.”“Don't worry, you'll be fine,” Elij
“Thank you, sir.” The lieutenant replied, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.Just then, Darius finally found the courage to speak up. “How can this be?... This man is an uninvited guest, how can you treat him as an important personnel?”Instead of a response, the lieutenant approached him before proceeding to dish out a hard and tight slap to his face, sending Darius crashing to the ground. As if that wasn't enough, the lieutenant ordered his subordinates to throw Darius out.“Yes sir!”Two soldiers approached and lifted Darius off the ground.Darius didn't even get a chance to say anything as he was dragged away like a dog, humiliating him in the presence of everyone.By now, the available journalists began to speculate Elijah's identity, after all, he needed to be a great figure to be treated in such a manner by the subordinate of the White Tiger King.Meanwhile, Elijah was escorted by the lieutenant personally to meet with the White Tiger King, leaving behind the other gues
Just as the lieutenant finished talking, Darius raised his hand and pointed at Elijah. “Hello sir, my name is Darius Smith, a member of the illustrious Smith family, and I suspect that this man, who goes by the name Elijah Silva, is, in fact, an uninvited guest at this occasion, one that seemed to have snuck in through some illegal means. I ask that he be chased out to not ruin the sanctity of the occasion.”The lieutenant frowned at this juncture as he was one of those who had helped with the preparations for the event. The succession ceremony of the White Tiger King was a major incident, one that all key military personnel from around the country were required to attend. It wasn't the sort of place where just anybody could be let in and was surely not a place that an uninvited guest would waltz into.He didn't want anything that would ruin the event so, he glanced at Elijah, quickly scrutinizing the fellow.Unfortunately, he didn't recognize Elijah as a great figure, after all, th
Once the Smith family convoy arrived at the Minister villa, which was a large estate, the sound of drums accompanied by several firecrackers could be heard, serving as a preliminary celebration of the White Tiger King.Several journalists were present, taking pictures while interviewing those in attendance. Currently, a few prominent figures were gathered and were chatting among themselves.Once Darius got out of his car, he didn't hesitate to go over as he knew this was his opportunity to make connections with the right people.As even more people poured in, Darius greeted each one and made sure to speak just as his father had instructed.He needed to make sure that at the end of the event, the Smith family would have entrenched itself among those present.Just as he paused briefly to catch his breath, he noticed a black limo making its entrance as well.He furrowed his brows as he wondered who it was, only for the doors to open and for two familiar faces to reveal themselves, causi
