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

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Harrison's dirty scheme

    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

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Break a finger

    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

    “You want to do this?” Elijah inquired.Timothy sneered. “Are you feeling regret now?... In the world, only those with power have the right to play the hero. An insignificant fool like yourself would only end up with bruises when you overstep your boundaries.”“Is that so?”“Don't worry, I'm teaching you a valuable lesson,” Timothy remarked scornfully before adding as he grabbed Elijah's shoulder aggressively. “Now kneel or suffer the consequences of going against me.”“Alright, that's enough.” Elijah formed a fist and punched Timothy in the face, catching him completely off guard.The other guards moved to restrain him but it was quick work to send them flying, making it look like they were children challenging a grown man.Snorting derisively, Elijah walked up to Timothy who was now staring at him with fear in his eyes.“So, you were saying something about teaching me a lesson. I don't think I've learned anything yet.” Elijah taunted causing Timothy to grit his teeth.“You bastard!.

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Breaking news

    Elijah did not enjoy being overly violent once his opponent accepted defeat. Which was why he praised Timothy for being wise enough to take a step back when needed. There was no reason to send him to the hospital though Elijah thought him deserving of it. Regardless, it was fine as long as the fool understood the error of his ways. Timothy sold his shares without hesitation after which he was dragged out of the building along with his subordinates. It was humiliating for him but did he dare to fight against it?... Of course not. The fear of Elijah was the beginning of wisdom and he didn't dare to think that he would come out victorious should he remain stubborn. Once Timothy was gone, the reception erupted in applause as everyone praised Elijah for standing up for Maria. None of them liked Timothy but were too scared to reveal their dislike due to him being more powerful than them. However, seeing that their boss was a man willing to stand up for them, naturally, the

  • Don't spout nonsense!

    All of a sudden, almost everyone had their curiosity piqued by the handsome and noble-looking man.Alice stared at him in shock, seemingly slipping into a trance too.Beside her, Madison widened her eyes in shock while asking with uncertainty, “Is that… Elijah?”Although she saw him almost every single day during the past few months, she almost didn’t dare to admit that he was Elijah.“Daddy, you’re finally here!” When Claire turned around and saw him, she leaped into his arms in pleasant surprise. He caught her steadily.Seeing the gentle and familiar gaze in Elijah’s eyes when he was looking at Claire and Alice, Madison finally dared to believe that the stunning man in front of her who exuded the aura of a domineering CEO was really Elijah.More importantly, Elijah would usually only dress in ordinary, low-key clothes and didn’t care much about his image apart from making sure that he looked neat and tidy.However, not only was he extremely refined and elegant today, but he even del

  • A fool forever

    Alice felt that her ears were marred by what she heard!She didn’t want to bring up these shameful things at first, but Glenda just had to act like a mad dog and kept nitpicking on her.Glenda’s expression instantly changed!She had known for a long time about her husband’s affair. In fact, she had kicked up a fuss about it in the beginning, but all she got in return was a heartless reply from Jessie—”I lost my feelings for you a long time ago. If you can’t stand it, let’s get a divorce, and you’ll get lost from the Carlson family immediately!”How could she bear to leave the Carlson family? They were at least a second-tier family, which was much better than the Johnsons. If she divorced Jessie, what would life be like for her in the future?So she had no choice but to force herself to turn a blind eye to his affair and curb her anger while pretending like she wasn’t aware of the existence of his mistress.But Jessie’s mistress was getting more and more overboard. She wasn’t willing t

  • Wedding day

    They spoke for a while at which point Alice informed him of the wedding venue so he could attend.Although they had an unpleasant time at the Johnsons’ farmhouse villa yesterday, those people were still Alice’s mother’s family.Alice’s maternal grandparents had a total of three children, with the eldest being Alice’s mother, Olivia, followed by Dahlia’s mother, Glenda, and lastly, Alice’s uncle, Mark, their most precious son.Olivia had given birth to Alice, while Glenda had given birth to Dahlia, her only daughter. Meanwhile, Alex had a son, Daniel, who was also the only heir of the Johnsons.Sir Johnson had an old-fashioned mindset, and he always thought that only male heirs could carry on the family’s bloodline.So he decided to throw a lavish wedding for his only grandson.Even though Elijah loathed the Johnsons, he wanted to rush over to send congratulatory gifts for Alice’s sake.Otherwise, they would end up being criticized for being impolite.After getting dressed, he checked

  • Celeste's desire

    Given Elijah’s years of experience in the army, he reckoned that Celeste’s ankle should have just been slightly sprained. It was far from hurting to the extent of being unable to walk.Of course, some girls might be more delicate and have lower pain tolerance, so it was understandable.Elijah stood up and said, “Wait here while I go and get some medicine from the front desk.”Five-star hotels like the Bloom Hotel would usually provide common over-the-counter drugs and medication at the front desk.Before Celeste even said anything, Elijah turned around and left, soon vanishing as he entered the elevator.Seeing that Elijah had left just like that, Celeste felt so aggrieved that she was on the verge of tears. ‘Dimwit! Haven’t I made it obvious enough? Do you not get the hint, or are you deliberately turning me down?’Celeste had deliberately picked the most revealing bikini that would best accentuate her figure just so that she could show off her beauty to Elijah.But he merely took a

  • Failed art of seduction

    Celeste blinked her large eyes and looked at Elijah pleadingly, full of expectations.Elijah didn’t mind, and since Celeste didn’t want to go alone, he agreed with a nod. “Okay. I don’t have anything to do later anyway. I’ll accompany you then. I’ll just take it as some post-meal exercise to ease digestion.”After Elijah agreed, Celeste beamed with joy. “Elijah, you’re the best!”The Bloom Hotel was the best five-star hotel in the city.Not only because it was the tallest building but also because of the large open-air swimming pool on the roof, which was an absolute highlight.Admiring the spectacular skyline of the bustling city from the edge of a swimming pool at the highest point of the city while surrounded by buildings that were dozens of meters shorter was definitely an unforgettable experience.Although it was the weekend, it wasn’t a holiday after all.Besides, the rates of the Bloom Hotel were rather expensive, so there weren’t many guests in the hotel at the moment.Apart f

  • Come find me

    Even though she had a mask on, the blood spurted out from the edge of the mask.This time, she was kicked even farther away, and her body slammed against the front of the Rolls-Royce, forming a huge dent in the hard hood. She then rolled onto the ground.She felt as if all her bones had been broken and her internal organs had shifted as pain radiated throughout her body.But she once again forced herself to get up and stumbled toward Elijah. “That… that belongs to me!”Her eyes were staring at the sword in Elijah’s hand, and she was bent on getting it back.A trace of surprise appeared in Elijah’s icy-cold eyes.This person is so persistent.“Give it… back to me!” The masked figure was in so much pain that she could barely even straighten her back. But she nevertheless walked toward Elijah tenaciously and tried her best to speak.Although Elijah was moved by her persistence, he didn’t intend to change his mind. “When you’ve finally figured out the significance of this Dharma Sword and

  • Give it back!

    Elijah narrowed his eyes slightly.This figure didn’t look tall, and his walking stance and aura seemed extremely oppressive.‘He must be an impressive expert!’ Elijah immediately thought.Celeste suddenly saw a metallic item emitting a glaring and sharp ray of light behind the figure and exclaimed in panic, “Elijah, that man has a weapon in his hand!”This person was walking toward Celeste and Elijah with an unhurried gait.As he approached, Celeste also finally saw a large, thick, heavy, and long sword tied to this man’s back with a leather belt.Celeste gasped in horror because the large long sword was probably as tall as an adult human!It definitely weighed at least dozens of kilograms!A person carrying such a heavy sword on their back in public was a rare sight in today’s society!Celeste was extremely panicked.Elijah suddenly said, “Just wait for me inside the car. Don’t go out.”Then he opened the car door.“Don’t… don’t go out. He has a weapon. It’s too dangerous!” Celeste

  • Another assassination attempt

    Celeste secretly glanced at Elijah twice.Her heart was full of a sweet, warm, and fuzzy feeling, as well as a sense of pride.“Who sent you here? If you don’t come clean, I’ll make sure you regret having ever lived in this world!” Elijah stood in front of them, staring down at them condescendingly with a cold and merciless gaze.Although these killers were engaged in the bloody business of assassinations, with Elijah coldly looking down at them, they immediately felt an intense chill surging from their heads to their toes.But they wouldn’t let Elijah threaten them, so they gritted their teeth and said, “We won’t tell you. Even if we tell you, we’ll die! So if you have the guts to, just kill us now!”Elijah narrowed his eyes.In fact, he knew of more than a hundred ways to torture them and make them feel worse than death.But this matter concerned the Ainsworths after all, so he couldn’t overstep his bounds and intervene.“Miss Ainsworth, are you alright?”“It’s all our fault for com

  • You can try!

    Before Elijah could finish speaking, Oliver suddenly interrupted while turning the steering wheel vigorously.There was a loud bang in front.Elijah was driving on the inner lane of a four-lane divided highway.But a black G-Wagon suddenly sped over from the side and crashed into a red Tesla in front of it!After steering the car the other way, Elijah floored the gas pedal and drove straight into the big G-Wagon!“Elijah, you’re crazy!”In the passenger seat, Oliver watched their car collide with the G-Wagon with his eyes wide open!“Hold on to your seatbelt!” Elijah hollered loudly.Just as Oliver subconsciously grabbed his seatbelt, the G-Wagon was right in front of them!The loud sound of a violent collision filled the air!Oliver began to get dizzy from the strong inertia.Fortunately, the airbags in the car popped open in time, securely shielding them in the middle so that neither of them got hurt.But the tall and sturdy G-Wagon was flung far by Elijah’s BYD.The roof of the G-W
