2024-11-05 14:43:03“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 been badly disfigured due to the fire accident on that fateful day.” Elijah instinctively formed a fist, tightening his grip as his expression darkened. To think that Alice has suffered so much all because of him. “I also looked into the other case you told me about. I've outlined the families responsible for Miss Alice's downfall. I've sent all the information to your email. Please endeavor to check it out in your free time.” “Alice, I owe you my life. I'll spend the rest of it repaying this debt of gratitude.” Elijah said before adding. “And for those that wronged us, a life debt is owed. Now that I'm back, I'll make them pay. For the death of my mother and for everything that's happened to Alice, they'll pay in blood. That is a promise.” *** Outside the mall, ten tall and burly bodyguards with domineering auras and clad in suits walked towards Elijah and stood still in front of him, their gaze seemingly scrutinizing him. Remaining still, Elijah raised a brow as he wondered what they were up to. “Mister Silva.” A voice called out as the bodyguards parted to the sides, revealing an older man accompanied by a youth following closely behind. The old man walked up to Elijah and made eye contact, then he bowed. “I'm Albert Sanders, the chief butler of the Augustus family. I'm here to take you back to the capital.” Elijah's gaze sharpened in an instant as he glared at Albert. “It's surprising that the almighty Augustus family still remembers that I exist. I recall being kicked out of that family together with my mother twenty-four years ago. You lot claimed that I was unworthy of being a part of the family and even warned my mother never to set foot in the capital, or else she'd been humiliated. “So I am curious, where exactly in the capital are you taking me to?... Or do you mean to tell me that the Augustus family is no more?” His voice was filled with hostility and anger that he had suppressed for years leaving Albert unsure of how to respond. Of course, he was well aware that the Augustus family had been unfair to Elijah and his mother all those years ago but he was here on a mission and didn't wish to go back empty-handed. So, letting out a sigh, he replied. “No matter what, so many years have passed and your grandfather is on his deathbed. He wished to spend time with his family before he passed. Can't you at least fulfill this last wish since you are a part of the Augustus family?” “My name is Silva, not Augustus,” Elijah remarked. “If this is all you wished to tell me, then forgive me because I don't have the time to waste on such nonsense.” Elijah turned to leave but Albert hurriedly stopped him. “Mr. Silva, please wait.” Saying that he quickly gestured for the youth that was with him to raise the briefcase he was carrying and hand it over to Elijah respectfully. “This is everything that your mother once held control over before the unfortunate incident that made her leave the capital. Now that she's no more, it's only right that you take over. Please treat it as compensation for all the wrongs you've had to endure.” Elijah snorted derisively. “Compensation?... All you are offering me belonged to my mother in the first place. It was snatched from her so even if you didn't return it, I'd have taken it back on my terms!... How dare you offer what is rightfully mine as a gift?... And you expect me to be thankful?... Don't think I'm a fool, Albert, and don't dare to provoke me again; else, I might just forget the promise I made to my mother.” Saying that Elijah pushed the bodyguards away and left with the briefcase. Staring at his taut back, Albert let out a tired sigh. “Still as hot-tempered as ever.” As the chief butler of the Augustus family, Albert was aware that the Augustus family had been unfair to Elijah and his mother back then. Unfortunately, the situation in the capital was dire and there was no other way to remedy it than to find a way for Elijah to return to the capital. Knowing fully well that he was in for a tough ride, Albert could only let out yet another sigh.

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

“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

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

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

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
