Surprisingly, Clinton didn't seem to mind as he replied, rather excitedly. "Of course. Atlas just changed owners and we have to greet them as soon as possible."

"Congratulations sir." The guards clearly didn't understand but still chose to buttkiss Clinton, an act the latter enjoyed.

"Hah, we have to reach out to the owner before the other shareholders so we can build a cordial relationship," Clinton muttered as he gestured for one of his bodyguards to get his cell phone.

Just then, he got an email with an image attached causing him to instinctively tap it to see what it was about.

The next moment he froze as he stared at the picture on his phone before slowly raising his head to regard Elijah.

Then he stared at the phone screen again and then back at Elijah.

Taking a deep breath, he began to take steady steps forward, quickly approaching the guards standing next to Elijah.

“Sir, what…”

Before he could even complete his sentence, Clinton slapped him across the cheek.

The guard spun

    Elijah gestured with his hand. "Just forget it. There's no need to treat me like I'm such an old guy. This company was my mother's and I plan to live up to her legacy. As for the asshole that caused this to happen, I don't plan to let him get away so easily.”"... I understand." Theresa's gaze flickered with a strange emotion but regardless, she remained poised.Nodding casually, Elijah remarked. "So I guess it's time to get down to business.""Yes. What are your orders, sir?... As the Vice chairman, I am required to serve you to the best of my abilities."Ignoring the connotations of her words, Elijah pondered for a moment before replying. "For now, I have only one directive.""And what's that?""Hide my identity from the media." Elijah pointedly said.Theresa blinked in confusion. "... Hide your identity?"Most rich men would want to take advantage of such situations to show off to the media but Elijah wasn't planning on doing so.It got her intrigued and also curious.Meanwhile, on

    Elijah snorted as he continued on his way, quickly leaving the company premises while Lucius glared at his back.“Baby, don't bother yourself with that fool. We were only trying to help him, but since he decided not to accept our goodwill, then that's his business.”Lucius nodded, agreeing with Katie’s words but that didn't stop him from swearing to teach Elijah a lesson.Meanwhile, Elijah quickly got to his car but wasn't about to let the incident with Lucius go just like that.Since the bastard had decided to take things too far, Elijah decided to teach him a lesson in humility.With that in mind, he quickly put a call across to Theresa who had just settled into her office. ***Meanwhile, Theresa was in her office when her secretary walked in.“Miss Theresa, there are some guests here to see you.”“Let them wait, I'm busy right now.”“Understood.”Just then, her phone rang and she picked it up. “Hello.”“Theresa.”“Yes sir.” Theresa instinctively sat up straight up realizing it was

    “Also, you can go ahead and announce that the ownership of the company is in the hands of another but as I said, don't disclose my identity. Also, considering we have kicked out the Vergara family, I believe it's only right we find a replacement so announce that there would be an auction to take up the projects that the Vergara family have left unfinished.” “Understood.”Satisfied with her response, Elijah could only wait to see how things would turn out in the coming days.The next day, Theresa released the announcements according to Elijah's arrangements, and immediately, the entirety of Crystal Falls exploded with discussions as everyone began to talk about it.***Due to Theresa's announcement, a meeting was organized to take place in the conference hall of Atlas.“Okay, that's all for today's report. All departments should continue to work hard, and I'd like to announce that we will be ditching our earlier plans to fire some workers due to a deficit, and instead, we shall be hir

    After noticing the change in everyone's expression, Theresa spoke up. “Elijah Silva’s outstanding resume is the reason I accepted his offer to purchase the controlling shares of our company. He may be unknown but it remains that he is competent enough!”At this juncture, even if they didn't want to accept the change, the executives had no choice in the matter.The record of this Elijah fellow was just too solid to fault.“Now then, with the appearance of a new owner, there are bound to be some changes,” Theresa said. “The first change is that Atlas will no longer be connected to the Augustus family.”“What?”“This is unwise!”“The Augustus family is the reason we are where we are today.”The executives quickly protested, expressing their views but Theresa wasn't even moved as she replied.“This is the decision of the new owner and if you don't like it, take it up with him. However, I must warn you. Due to his exploits in the North, he is a close friend of the King of the North, so it

    As the atmosphere in the conference hall turned quite tense with everyone swayed by Harrison's perfectly crafted scheme, Theresa spoke up in a bid to defend herself from the horrible accusations levied against her.“These documents are fake. I and Mister Silva are innocent of the crimes you are accusing us of!” Theresa remarked, tearing apart the documents she was holding. She had given up everything while working for Atlas, doing her best to ensure that it didn't fall under her leadership.This was precisely because the former owner, Elijah’s now-deceased mother, was the reason she had managed to finish business school.She had paid for Theresa's fees and promised her a job at the company if she did well in her studies.That was at a time when Theresa was all alone in the world, contemplating suicide.She was saved and she had sworn on that day to pay back what had been done for her a thousandfold.This was why even when it seemed as though Atlas was on its way to falling apart, she

    Before Harrison could even offer a response, Elijah bellowed. “Thomas!”Elijah hadn't planned to act violently towards employees of his mother's company; after all, they were like family to him, but at this juncture, he had no choice.With what was at stake, he had to do what was needed as he emitted a terrifying aura that caused everyone to back away in fright.Thomas walked in at that moment, accompanied by two other subordinates who immediately apprehended Harrison, pinning him down like a criminal with the latter struggling to no avail. “What are you doing right now?... How can you do this?... I am an executive at this company and I demand to be treated with respect!” Harrison said in a panic while still struggling.Unfortunately, Thomas didn't even act like he heard him as he handcuffed him and then kept him down.Realizing that Thomas wasn't going to let him go, Harrison tried to appeal to Elijah. “Mr. Silva, what is the meaning of this?... We are in a civilized society yet you

    By the time Thomas had broken two more fingers, Harrison could no longer take any more of the pain as he gasped for air while pleading for mercy. “Please stop, I'll tell you everything, just stop!”Hearing this, Elijah gestured for Thomas to stay his hand as he replied. “Go ahead and don't even try to make things any worse for yourself, else you can forget getting any form of mercy from me.”Harrison was thoroughly frightened by Elijah so he didn't hesitate to spill his guts. “It's Larry Higgins, he's the one that instigated me to accuse you and Theresa.”Elijah frowned as he immediately recognized the surname.The Higgins were the same family based in the capital that had taken in the Leroy family survivors.They also shared a strange relationship with the Augustus family with Elijah guessing that they were subservient to them. “Why did he tell you to do that?” “To tarnish your reputation as well as Theresa's own as well so the both of you won't be able to perfectly lead the compan

    Thankfully, Theresa was a good manager and all he needed to do was support her.“Yes. Unfortunately, not all the executives made an appearance but it doesn't matter. They'd get a memo.”“In that case, I'll be taking my leave then.”“Alright, sir.”With that, Elijah swiftly made his way to the first floor of the building.Meanwhile, outside the building, a convoy drove into the car park.As the cars parked, men in suits stepped down before rushing to the car at the center of the convoy.Opening the door, a man wearing a red suit with a condescending air about him got out.He was wearing a pair of sunshades which he took off before making his way into the building.The man in the red suit, made his way to the building entrance accompanied by his entourage, causing the security at the door to immediately move out of the way, unnerved by his approach.The suited man sneered as he pushed the doors and stepped inside.Meanwhile, inside the building, two employees having just left the confer

  • A forceful request

    Over the past few years, his attainments in the field of medicine had been rather high, and his fame had risen again and again along with it.He often had many people coming up to him all of a sudden to try to get to know her or ask her to help treat someone, so she had been rather annoyed.Generally speaking, he would keep his whereabouts private and known only to a few people.Clearly, the middle-aged man in front of her was one of those who came to her because he had heard about her somewhere.Rex had never been polite to such people. “I’m sorry. I don’t know you, nor do I intend to get to know you. I have something important to do now. I’ll get going.”Then he walked toward the side.But just as he took two steps, the two bodyguards in black suits immediately stood in front of him.“What do you mean by this?” Rex immediately flew into a rage and glared at Mordred with a frown.Mordred said domineeringly, though with an apologetic look on his face, “Dr. Holding, a doctor told me th

  • Nice to meet you, doctor

    The attending doctor’s heart jumped, and he felt rather suffocated because of the strain on his neck.There was nothing he could do about Mordred’s fury!“Wait, wait! Even if you act like this, I still can’t cure Mr. Abnomar’s legs… Oh, right! If you can find the expert Rex Holding, Mr. Abnomar’s legs might still be curable!”“Rex Holding? Who is that?” Mordred immediately asked, finding a straw to clutch at.“Uh, Miss Rex Holding is an extremely competent doctor. Rumor has it that he has extraordinary medical skills, almost reaching a legendary level. Of course, this might be a little exaggerated. But his medical skills are really superb. If there’s someone in this world who can cure Mr. Abnomar’s legs, it must be him!” The attending doctor hurriedly revealed what he knew.Mordred, overjoyed for a moment, and hurriedly asked, “Is that so? That’s great! Where is he now!”“This…” A look of hesitation appeared on the doctor’s face.In fact, a medical practitioner of Rex’s level wasn’t s

  • Off to the airport

    According to the information obtained from Leo’s investigation, William had been going to work and getting off work on time every day. He didn’t go to gambling dens or have any conflicts with anyone.Logically speaking, no one should have spent so much money to get him killed.Seeing Elijah remaining silent, Valerie felt extremely guilty. “I’m sorry, I… I’m not of any help to you. If I had known earlier that this would happen, I should have asked my husband about it clearly!”Elijah shook his head. He was well aware that since Trevor was willing to trade his life for money that could save his daughter’s life, he would certainly also protect the safety of his wife and daughter. Thus, he would never have taken the initiative to disclose any information about the person who had paid him for murder.Elijah was somewhat disappointed that there wasn’t much useful information from Valerie.But since he had given his promise to Valerie and her daughter, Mikey, he naturally wouldn’t forget abo

  • Seeking answers

    Elijah looked at the little girl hugging Valerie tightly.She was emaciated, feeble, and extremely pale, looking as though she was about to fall at any moment.This poor little boy immediately made Elijah think about his daughter, Claire.Both of them were almost the same age, and yet this little boy was so pitiful that Elijah couldn’t help feeling a trace of sympathy for him.Elijah admired Trevor and Valerie as parents.They might not necessarily be good or capable people, but they were indeed a pair of good parents who loved their son greatly.Moreover, Elijah didn’t want to see yet another person face impending death just because they couldn’t afford to pay their medical expenses.This was why Elijah decided to help this family—so that this little boy could live healthily in the future.He reckoned that this little boy’s illness shouldn’t have reached its worst yet. Besides, tens of thousands meant nothing to Elijah now.“Your son is about the same age as my daughter,” Elijah said

  • A complicated situation

    The little boy was terrified as he stumbled over to hug his mother.“Mommy, Mommy…” The little boy didn’t know what was going on, so he simply hugged Valerie’s legs tightly in panic and burst into tears.Valerie pulled the thin and feeble boy into her arms as tears streamed down incessantly.“I really don’t know how to apologize to you, but my son has cancer, and we can’t afford such expensive medical expenses. Mikey’s condition is getting worse and worse. We really have no way out!“Just a few days ago, someone found my husband and instructed him to run over someone for fifty thousand dollars. We were very reluctant at first, but we really had no other way. Mikey’s treatment can no longer be delayed, and we really can’t bear to see our obedient and sensible son passing away just like that… But this is murder after all. I persuaded my husband not to do it, but he also had serious cancer. His cancer cells had metastasized and spread. He said that since he couldn’t live for long anyway,

  • No need to be scared

    Leo had casually taken this stack of bills from the car just now, and it happened to come in handy now.There were around sixty bills.The middle-aged woman’s eyes were immediately glued to the stack of bills.Most people living in such a shabby place were struggling to make ends meet and earned meager wages.This stack of bills was worth about a thousand dollars, enough to cover a few months’ worth of living expenses for the woman.All that was required of her was to ask someone to come out.It was really effortless.For people used to being poor, such a temptation was really difficult to resist.Thus, after being conflicted for a while, the middle-aged woman finally opened the door, reached out to accept the money, and said with some slight embarrassment, “Ah, you are so polite. It’s just a small favor. You’re being too kind, haha.”After smiling, she yelled inside, “Valerie, come out!”Two seconds later, a female voice sounded inside the house, “Aunt, you called me? Wait a minute.

  • Investigating a man named Trevor

    The phone call was from Leo, who quickly explained what he had discovered.The driver who had hit Albert two days ago was named Trevor Hathaway.After losing control of his car and hitting Albert, he died in another tragic car accident nearby.Of course, Elijah suspected that this was very likely not purely an accident, and the information Leo had found out proved this.Trevor’s wife and son had suddenly vanished from their apartment the day before the accident.So, Leo had targeted his investigation here to get a clear explanation from Trevor’s wife and son.Now, he finally found their whereabouts.“Elijah, do you need me to go bring these two people back so that you can question them? Their hiding place is nearby. It’s a private house near the outskirts of the city,” Leo said.Trevor wasn’t very old, so Elijah reckoned that his son must be rather young.If they suddenly brought them over, they might frighten them.Elijah thought about it and said, “Let’s go over together.”“Yes!” Le

  • A serious medical case

    “The patient’s injuries are too serious. We’ve already done our best, but it’s still very likely that he will remain bedridden forever, which is known as being in a vegetative state. Of course, if the situation turns for the better, he might still be able to regain consciousness.”The doctor comforted them helplessly and then dragged his exhausted body away.Looking at Albert lying lifelessly on the hospital bed with the ventilator and lots of tubes attached to him, Elijah felt rather sorrowful.Albert was just his family butler, and they didn’t share a very close relationship in the past. But he didn't deserve such a fate.Unfortunately, he was now in a vegetative state after the sudden car accident, and it was almost impossible for him to regain consciousness ever again.Making a decision to ensure that Albert would recover, Elijah walked out of the ward and went to a secluded area to make a call.Soon, a man on the other end asked in surprise, “Huh? I didn’t think that you’d take

  • Involved in a ghastly accident

    Layla nodded and said honestly, “Yes, apart from assassination, there are many other terrible things. As long as it’s a task that offers easy money, the organization will basically agree to it. They’re also secretly supporting a lot of powerful families and forces. Oh, right, and they also ask members to go around to solicit beautiful women and send them to powerful families and forces as social escorts used in exchange for benefits. Although I haven’t done such a thing, I’ve witnessed it several times.”As Elijah and Layla were discussing, they would have no idea that something bad was about to happen to a notable figure.At this moment in another part of the city, Albert Sanders, butler of the Augustus family, had just finished meeting with some powerful individuals in Crystal Falls in a bid to ensure that should there be a need to flee the capital, he would be able to ensure Sir Augustus safety.When he was about to leave work, he suddenly received a call from Sir Augustus who call
