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
“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
“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
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
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.

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
The wind whistled, causing Elijah Silva to pull his coat together while taking a final look at the campground he had long gotten used to, as well as the familiar faces that accompanied it. He clenched his jaw tightly at the sight. Even as they were all comrades, they knew that there was a significant difference between them and Elijah. Taking a deep breath, Elijah intoned. “Let's go.” He turned around and stepped onto the hatch door of the helicopter that was waiting at the side for him to board. Behind this young man, who looked no older than thirty-two, were several teams of tall, toned, and muscular men standing uniformly in nearby rows. Despite being on the verge of tears, they were standing still with their backs straight, raising their hands in unison to perform a standard and reverent military salute. It was full of enthusiasm and pride. A melancholic smile adorned Elijah's lips as he watched this, unsure of how to respond. To think that there would be a day like this
“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

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
Once inside, Elijah explained what happened, heavily embellishing the story to avoid letting them know that he was a real-life superhuman.Still, his feat of taking on Johnny's men and surviving was enough to earn the respect of everyone present as they stared at him like a superhero.Even Olivia, who would never admit to him being anything better than a useless fool, had to accept that her son-in-law was useful in some ways.Meanwhile, Alice finally understood the situation, making her feel rather complicated about the whole thing.On one hand, she couldn't deny that the experience had been nothing short of exhilarating but on the other hand, the life of her husband had been at risk.A minute mistake and he would have died.Was this the daily life of Elijah Silva?... She dreaded the thought that he would one day go out and never return.Gulping nervously, she stared at Elijah who met her gaze with a warm smile, bringing calm to her nerves.“Will you be staying for dinner?” Olivia ask
Then, he cracked his knuckles as the scarf around his neck wiggled. “Thankfully, I mean business as well.”Those occupying the vehicles, on seeing him, didn't hesitate to open fire but Elijah utilized his spiritual energy like a shield.At the same time, a system notification appeared.[Mission generated][Mission; One man Army][Reward; +1000 Spirit Points]By the time the goons understood what was happening, half of their ammo supplies had already been spent.None could speak as they stared in utter disbelief at the invisible shield that had somehow managed to defend against their weapons.“Are you done?” Elijah inquired as he retracted the spiritual energy, transforming it from a cloak to a body of armor.He approached them with measured steps, almost like it was a walk in the park.“I warned your boss that he would pay even more should he come after me. I guess he thought I was bluffing.” Elijah remarked.The goons trembled in Elijah's presence, unsure of what to make of the monst
