2024-11-06 16:58:12“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 long. If not for you, Alice wouldn't have had any problems getting married. So the best thing you can do now is disappear from her life forever!” “I understand that it's because of me that Alice had to suffer so much. But don't expect me to leave here before seeing her.” Just as Olivia and Oliver were about to lose it, Mr. Leroy spoke up. “I don't have much to say to you, fool, but I'd suggest you not to force my hand else I won't hesitate to teach you a valuable lesson.” “Are you threatening me?” Elijah inquired with a raised brow. “You'd best watch yourself. Mr. Leroy is the heir to the Leroy family fortune and the current CEO of Leroy Corporation. It's even been publicized that he has managed to clinch a contract with Gold Lake, one of the largest conglomerates in the city. Right now, he is a budding young man with everything a woman could want. Do you think you can go against such a person?” Oliver remarked, hoping to frighten Elijah away. Unfortunately, his attempt was pointless because though Elijah reacted, it wasn't out of fear but rather out of pleasant surprise. Olivia misread this, though, as she remarked. “Scared yet?... If you are, best to leave here at once; else, don't blame us for not trying to help out.” Just as Elijah was about to respond, a girl dressed in an outfit covering herself from head to toe, came down the stairs. She was not in a good state judging from how she was trembling. All the other family members that were present, looked upon her with scorn, like a monster that didn't deserve to be in their midst. But Elijah was different. He could immediately tell that she was Alice, the woman he was here for. Olivia was just about to say something when Elijah hurried over to stand before her, catching her off guard. She was stunned as she quickly recognized him as the same man from back then. “Elijah, is that you?” "Yes, it's me and I'm here to take you away from here. Just say the word and I promise you that no one would force you to get married.” “That…” "Who do you think you are to say such rubbish?... You'd best watch your mouth!” One of Alice's relatives remarked. Elijah ignored him and instead waited for Alice's response. “I… don't want to get married,” Alice replied with Elijah smiling in response. “Then let's leave this place.” Elijah didn't even care about anything else as he took her hand and tried to lead her away only for Mr. Leroy to stand in their way. “Alice, you'd best think before going ahead with this nobody. You are making a huge mistake.” Alice gave no response but it was clear that her mind was made up. “Good, very good. Since you have decided to suffer, then I will make sure you suffer.” “Enough.” Elijah coldly remarked. “I can accept you making threats towards me, but don't overstep your boundaries.” “Hah, you've got some nerve, bastard. I'll make you pay for humiliating me today, just remember that.” With that, Mr. Leroy turned and left with Oliver and Olivia rushing after him to beg him not to leave just like that. They didn't even care that Alice was leaving them and other family members were even happy to be rid of an eyesore like her. *** Elijah and Alice left the Wesen manor with Alice keeping to herself. [Mission completed] [10 Spirit Points rewarded] Elijah tried to get her to take off her veil but Alice refused, insisting that there was no need to do so. After thirty minutes of driving, Alice suddenly got a call. She picked it up and immediately, her heart seemed to jump out of her chest as she heard a familiar voice. “Mommy, save me!... I'm hungry and these people are starving me!... They even locked me up with huge and fierce dogs that bit me all over. It hurts, mummy and I'm so scared.” “Stop the car!” Alice exclaimed, causing the car to stop abruptly. Meanwhile, in another location, Mr. Leroy got a call from his subordinates. “Boss, it's done. The little girl has been sent to the Blood Cage where she'll be torn by the dogs.” “Good. Let's see how that bitch would dare to go against me when her daughter is dead!”

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.

“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

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

“You are in charge while I'm gone, understood?” Elijah remarked, entrusting the safety of the house to the driver and the Dragon Legion regiment that was stationed in the villa.“Yes, Commander.”Satisfied with the response, Elijah gestured for Thomas to follow him with the latter quickly doing so.However, just as they got to the entrance, a commotion erupted outside.Dozens of black armored vehicles surrounded the area, cutting off all routes in and out of the villa while a helicopter hovered overhead.Several special unit operatives hurried out of the vehicles, fully armed and seemingly prepared for battle.Then a thunderous voice reverberated through the villa with the aid of a microphone.“Listen up, this is Dick Grayson of the Delta Special Forces Division in Crystal Falls and I am issuing an arrest for everyone in this villa for deliberate infliction of harm upon others. Drop your weapons and surrender, or else we would not hesitate to open fire!”Thomas raised a brow as he inq

Aiden kicked the table over, causing the drinks to spill all over the floor, before angrily pointing at Madison. “You bitch, you dare to avoid me!?... Consider yourself lucky that I'm interested in you but don't think I won't handle you roughly if you push me too far!... Let me tell you, if you don't serve me well and make me happy, I'll make sure you never see another sunrise!”Then, he bent down and grabbed her neck, staring at her tear-stained face. “I hope you are listening closely!... With just a phone call, your friend is going to join her ancestors in the afterlife so you'd better behave yourself, understood?”“No, please, Mr. Leroy, just leave Alice alone. She's already suffered enough. I'm begging you.” Madison begged Aiden as she was on her knees with tears streaming down her cheeks.Feeling utterly helpless, she hoped that someone would come to her aid, rescuing her from the claws of the beast standing before her.Just then, Alice's sister, Bianca, the same one that had rep
The Almighty God of War Returns Face to face with a demon
Elijah looked at the fragile Madison in his arms, her blood slowly staining his clothes though he didn't seem to care one bit as he cleaned the blood from her face.Then, he looked at her abdomen to find that there was a bullet hole in it.As it was, she was seconds away from dying due to blood loss.“Thomas,” Elijah muttered as he used his spiritual energy to cauterize the wound, saving her from instant death.“Yes, captain.”“Keep her safe.” Elijah intoned as he handed an unconscious Madison over to Thomas who quickly took her in his arms.Meanwhile, in the penthouse above, Aiden was licking his lips in annoyance.He'd hoped to misbehave with Madison before her death, but it seemed that plan would have to be shelved, considering she had no way of surviving a fall from the tenth floor.He didn't even care that she was dead because it meant nothing to him.Even if everyone saw him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him because he was a part of the Leroy family, leaving him untou
The Almighty God of War Returns The third option
Aiden's subordinates thought that they would be able to overwhelm Elijah with numbers, unfortunately, they couldn't have been more wrong. All of them ended up on the ground, unable to get back up with Elijah standing over them without breaking a sweat. Aiden could only watch with terror, unable to believe that Elijah was so terrifying. Turning around, he tried to flee in silence but Elijah wasn't about to let that happen after everything he'd done. He kicked a knife that was lying on the ground, causing it to slice through the air, before meeting its mark as it sunk into Aiden's leg. “Ah!... Don't come any closer, stay away!” Aiden screamed in terror as he lay in a puddle of his blood. His right leg wouldn't stop bleeding even as he tried to stop it while watching as Elijah approached him like a grim reaper. If only Aiden had behaved himself, none of this would have happened but unfortunately, he dared to touch what was most important to Elijah. Even if he hadn't touched Madi

It's settled
At this moment, Ricardo inched close to Diego and said eagerly, “Dad, you can’t let him off! Otherwise, the Abnomars will definitely hold us responsible. When the time comes, none of us will be able to escape!... I don’t believe that there’s really someone in this world who isn’t afraid of getting shot by guns! He must be lying and boasting just to scare us. Any one of us here can fire several bullets through his body! Even if we can’t kill on the spot, he will definitely sustain injuries. Even if he can fly, he won’t be able to escape our premises!... I don’t believe that he can really hurt you! There are so many bodyguards in front of you to protect you. No matter what, he can’t do anything to you!”Diego quickly thought about his words and nodded lightly.But at this moment, Alec suddenly stomped his foot against the ground and began moving!“Shoot!” Diego immediately yelled, his heart skipping a beat.But humans are not machines after all.From the moment they received Diego’s com
Stuck in a dilemma
Alec turned the dagger in his hand and shook off the last bit of blood remaining on it.Then he turned around to look at the Hernandez family, who were dumbstruck and rooted to the ground at the entrance of the villa.“Those who dare to provoke him will suffer a miserable fate!” After saying this coldly, he walked toward the entrance.But when he was a few meters away from the entrance, Diego snapped back to his senses as though he had just woken up from a dream and yelled, “Men, get ready!”With his order, the dozen or so gunmen who had just hurriedly assembled immediately raised their pistols and aimed them at Alec’s head.Alec stopped in his tracks and turned around to glare at Diego hostilely. “This isn’t the first time in my life that I’ve been held at gunpoint by so many men, yet I’m still alive and kicking today. Do you have any idea why?”Diego’s face twitched violently.Alec said, “Because those who’ve had the guts to threaten me with a gun were all killed by me!”As Alec sai
Dead silent
The Hernandez family members stood outside the villa, not daring to get too close, though they heard the conversation between Sir Walter and Alec.“It seems this person should be Sir Walter’s enemy. He barged into our manor today because he wanted to deal with Sir Walter! Thank God…” Ricardo hurriedly patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.Although he didn’t finish the rest of his sentence, all the Hernandez family members understood what he meant.Naturally, Ricardo was thankful to find out that this man wasn’t after the Hernandez family.But Diego wasn’t that optimistic.Sir Walter was a top expert who worked for the Abnomars and whom the Hernandez family had requested to help them, making him an honored guest of the Hernandez family.Regardless of whether the man in front of them was Sir Walter’s enemy and here to take revenge, the Hernandez family couldn’t stay out of it completely.Otherwise, if something unfortunate happened to Sir Walter in the Hernandez family manor, th
You don't need to know
“What?!” Diego’s expression drastically changed while the other Hernandez' were astounded too.Sir Walter was an elite expert the Abnomars had sent, and ordinary people couldn’t get close to him.Besides, he was now a distinguished guest of the Hernandez' and was in a foul mood because of his apprentice’s death.Which audacious person was so brazen that he charged into Sir Walter’s villa?“Bastard, this is outrageous! How dare he barge into Sir Walter’s villa? He must be tired of living!” Diego hollered in exasperation.But since the matter occurred in the Hernandez'’ manor, they would have to take a look at the situation as the hosts and placate Sir Walter at the same time.To show their respect for Sir Walter, the expert working for the Abnomars, the Hernandez' had specifically arranged for Sir Walter to stay in the villa beside Diego’s, which was in the middle of the manor.As soon as Diego led the Hernandez out of the villa, they saw an enormous hole because the thick alloy door h
An unusual clamor
“Dad, do you think there’s something wrong with Sir Walter? His apprentice was killed by Elijah Silva, yet all he’s doing is throwing a tantrum in our place. Why doesn’t he go take revenge on Elijah Silva himself? I doubt those killers he sent will be able to do anything!” Diego’s younger son, Julio Hernandez, asked impatiently.He was the one who had suggested that they join forces with the Abnomars and ask them to send an expert to deal with Elijah.But he didn’t know how powerful Sir Walter was, though he knew that Sir Walter loved putting on airs all the time.Besides, he was clearly the one who had put forward the suggestion, yet Diego sent his brother, Ricardo, to host Sir Walter instead.So Julio had been extremely displeased, feeling that his brother had taken all the credit from him again.Diego’s face darkened, and he said sternly, “Shut up! You should never say such things again! If Sir Walter hears you, even I won’t be able to protect you! Also, if you offend him and end u
Kill order
The killer hurriedly said, “The Hernandez family requested Sir Walter to send his apprentice to assassinate Mr. Silva, but he ended up getting killed by Mr. Silva instead. That’s why Sir Walter was furious and sent us to kidnap Mr. Silva and then take him to the Hernandez' to be at their disposal!”When Alec heard this, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified, and his gaze became extremely terrifying.“In that case, is Sir Walter in the Hernandez'’ manor now?”“Y-yes!”“We’re just following orders. We don’t have any personal feud with Mr. Silva. Please…”In the dim corner, several shrieks filled the air one after another, but before long, silence returned.Soon, Alec and Leo composedly walked out of the corner and left as if nothing had happened.At this time, Elijah just arrived back in the lake villa and heard a text message alert.He opened his phone and saw the text Alec sent.“Those killers were sent by Sir Walter, who works for the Abnomars, to avenge his dead apprentice. H
The sound of the wind
Elijah immediately thought of the Hernandez' and the Abnomars.After all, he had killed Jamie Hernandez, and just three hours ago, he had killed the killer sent by the Abnormars.They definitely wouldn’t give up just like that.Elijah was certain that they would continue to send more people to avenge them.He didn’t move and continued to stroll casually with Alice and Claire as if he wasn’t aware of their presence.But two familiar figures suddenly appeared beside Elijah.After secretly nodding at him, they walked away like ordinary passersby.They were none other than Alec and Leo, members of the Thirteen Warriors, commanders who were the most loyal to Elijah.At this time, it was almost two hours to midnight.There were few pedestrians on the streets downtown now, and the streets were gradually becoming empty.A killer tailing them tried to restrain his aura and hid behind a large garbage can outside a store.While watching Elijah and the others, he tried to change his position agai
Without a doubt!
“Why are you yelling? Behave yourself! Are the Hernandez family members all so ill-mannered?” Sir Walter was already in a foul mood, and he got even more frustrated when Ricardo suddenly charged in.“It’s Remus…” Ricardo, who had always been calm, was so flustered that he couldn’t speak coherently.“What happened to Remus? Is he back?” Sir Walter quickly asked.On the verge of tears, Ricardo spluttered, “Remus… Remus is dead!”“What did you say?!” Sir Walter’s expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up, staring at Ricardo in disbelief.Although Sir Walter had taken many apprentices under his tutelage in his life, most of them hadn’t learned much of his skills, except Remus, who was his favorite disciple and whom he was most proud of too.Not only had Remus learned almost all his skills, but he was also set to be Sir Walter’s successor.Sir Walter originally thought that apart from himself, there would probably be no one in the field of combat who could rival Remus.He di
An assassin named Walter
A cold glint of sharpness appeared in Elijah’s eyes as he learned that the Abnomars were still daring enough to send assassins after him.He headed to the bathroom to wash off the bloodstains on his hands while pondering the best way to deal with the current situation.By the time he was done washing his hands, he had decided on his next move, and so he took out his cell phone and made a call. “There’s a corpse in my bedroom. Send someone to pick it up and dump it at the entrance of the Abnormar residence. Clean up the room too.”“Yes, General!” the other person immediately acknowledged without hesitating or asking about anything, as if it was just a simple order.Elijah hung up and took a look at the time.It had only been three minutes since he entered the villa.After thinking about it, he changed into a fresh set of clothes before walking out of the villa.He opened the car door and got inside.Alice and Claire were both unaware of the murder that had just occurred in their home
