“This is a bottle of Kobo wine worth a million dollars and it's from the Lincolns. They are wishing Mr. Roland a happy birthday and many happy returns.”

“The Sloans present a painting, the Monarch of Nightfall by Alexander Regulus, worth ten million and they wish the entire family even more wealth.”

“The Khans have gifted Mr. Roland a limited edition watch from Rolex worth five million dollars.”

At the main entrance, a lady held a microphone in her hand, enthusiastically announcing the gifts that the guests had brought for everyone in attendance to hear.

In the foyer, Mr. Roland, old as he was, was dressed in a blue suit causing him to look fit and alert.

He had a big smile on his face as he heard the value of the gifts he was getting.

It went to show that those in attendance were not minor characters at all.

Surprisingly, even the Wesen family had been invited with the family head, Mr. Wesen pulling out all the stops and spending a small fortune to get a gift for Mr. Roland just to g

    Before Mr. Roland could respond to Elijah’s words, the latter moved, quickly appearing behind the Roland family head.“Good riddance,” Elijah muttered, and the next moment, blood spurted out, and Mr. Roland's head fell to the ground with a dull thud.Everyone screamed at the sight, unable to believe that Mr. Roland had been killed just like that.But perhaps the most shocked were members of the Roland family as they watched as the man who had led their family for so long died just like that.Taking out a black bag, Elijah picked up the head and left shortly after, leaving behind a silent villa and traumatized guests.[Mission completed][1000 Spirit Points rewarded][Note: Vengeance is served]In the meantime, Mr. Roland's headless corpse remained motionless in the foyer. ***The Leroy residence was in an uproar as Charles finally got a chance to inform the head of the Leroy family and Aiden's father about the incident between Aiden and Elijah.In response, the head of the Leroy fami

    At his mother's grave, Elijah leaned the black bag against the tombstone, took a flask out, and then drank a mouthful from it, then poured the rest of it in front of the grave.“Mom, you don't have to worry. Your son is doing well for himself. Can you imagine?... That weak boy who couldn't protect himself is now being called the King of the North.” As he spoke, he let out a melancholic laugh. “Also, you have a granddaughter. I'm sure you'd have liked her if you were still here. But it's fine. Don't worry, I'll make sure to bring her up in a way you'd have liked. I'm sorry I wasted so much time before I returned… I hope you can forgive me. Rest well, I promise, those that kicked us out all those years ago will pay for their sins.”After that, he got up and left.Meanwhile, in the Roland family villa, everyone had left not too long after Elijah's departure. Naturally, they were too scared to remain, worried that since even Mr. Roland wasn't safe in the Roland family villa, who were th

    Elijah smiled as he replied. “See what I said, as long as we don't look at things negatively, there's always going to be a way around obstacles.”“I know, I know, I should never have underestimated us.”“Exactly. Now then, please tell me you are prepared, meetings and I don't match at all.”Alice chuckled in amusement. “Don't worry, I've got you covered.” As it was, Alice felt lucky that Elijah was hers and she wished to prove her capability to him.She wanted to show him that even though she's been a laughing stock for years, she kept up with her studies and was an accomplished scholar.“Alright, let's go.”Alice quickly got into the car with Elijah ordering Thomas to start the car with the destination being the Gold Lake branch office.“Honey, did you know that Mr. Roland was killed last night?” Considering her grandfather had attended the birthday party, it was no surprise that Alice was aware of the incident that turned from a celebration to mourning.“Are you serious?” Elijah f

    “Thank you,” Alice muttered as she took out her phone and called up her classmate.Elijah offered no response, merely flashing a smile in her direction.Not too long after, a woman approached them only to be shocked when she laid eyes on Alice.If anyone had told her that it was Alice, she wouldn't have believed, but seeing was indeed believing.Naturally, she grew envious due to how Alice looked but managed to control herself as she approached.Excitedly, Alice didn't hesitate to embrace the other lady once she was close enough. “Oh my gosh, hi, Lisa, congratulations on becoming a departmental head at Gold Lake.”Lisa Thompson feigned a smile as she replied. “Well, I try my best.

    In the chairman's office on the top floor of the Gold Lake building, Gilbert had been waiting for Alice since morning.It was unfortunate that she still hadn't shown up yet.Worried that something was wrong, he left his office and headed down to reception to ask if Alice had arrived to see him but unfortunately, the receptionist claimed that no one with that name had arrived.This caused Gilbert to grow even more worried as he didn't dare to think that Alice was someone that was late so that meant that he might have missed her or something bad could have happened, both of which did not bode well for him.The last thing he wished to do was to fail the King of the North.If that happened, no one would be able to save him.Due to being anxious, he decided to take a walk while letting the receptionist know to inform him should Alice arrive. Imagine his surprise when he stepped out of the building only to pause as he laid eyes on Elijah, the same person he dreaded failing.The latter was

    “So, Mister Strong, this is my proposal and every other document that's needed. Alice quickly began once she got into the office, only for Gilbert to respond.“That won't be necessary.”“What?”“I had my secretary draw up a proposal as well.”As he spoke, Gilbert immediately handed over the documents to Alice allowing her to read through.It didn't take long before Alice let out a gasp of surprise due to the amount written in the document.Instead of the ten million she hoped to get, Gilbert was offering her a hundred instead.Wasn't this a bit too much?“Is something wrong, Miss Wesen?... If a hundred million is too small, I'm sure we can make further arrangements.”“No, that's not necessary. It's more than enough.” Alice hurriedly said, still struggling to wrap her head around the grand sum.“That's good to hear. So I believe it's time to sign?”“Yes.” Alice nodded, taking out her pen to sign on the documents only to discover that Gilbert had already signed as well.It was almost as

Do they think the world revolves around them?... Daring to investigate the King of the North!?... They are seeking death!”“Commander, what do we do about this?”“Is that even a question?... Issue an immediate order to every military outpost in and around Crystal Falls. If anyone dared to leak any information about the King of the North, they would face the highest punishment imaginable, no matter their rank!”“Understood, Commander!” Within moments, the commander's subordinates hurried to do as instructed.Meanwhile, in yet another outpost, Charles was currently meeting with one of his contacts in the military.The person was a captain of a small b

  • 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

    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

    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

  • Elijah, watch out!

    Olivia modestly accepted the compliments, but deep down, she was incredibly smug and was enjoying the praises.But when she heard these people praising Elijah, she felt extremely displeased.In particular, the fact that Elijah had given her parents such expensive gifts, which he had never given her before even though she was his mother-in-law, made her extremely exasperated!Olivia, like the Johnsons, was a fool who failed to recognize valuable items.“Olivia, Alice’s husband seems pretty good!”“Yeah, he doesn’t seem to be as terrible and incompetent as you made him out to be. He gave us such expensive gifts, and most importantly, he’s willing to spend on your parents. He’s really quite a good son-in-law!”A few of them started praising Elijah, and even Mark had a change of attitude.He said to Olivia, “We’re about to have dinner soon, but Oliver and Elijah left because we made them upset just now. Quickly, give him a call and ask them to come back!”Feeling indignant, Olivia deliber

  • Authentic gifts

    With that, Cornelius left in his car without waiting for Sir Johnson to ask him to stay.Sir Johnson was dumbfounded for a long time, but he still couldn’t recover from the shock as he continued to stand in the same spot.The Johnsons used to be countryside villagers, and they basically had no family background or assets.They had even asked Olivia for money to build these two villas that they were living in.Usually, they would rejoice for a long time whenever Olivia gave them thousands of dollars.But just a few minutes ago, they actually flushed away a bag of tea leaves worth more than a million dollars into the sewer.Sir Johnson suddenly felt like he was in a dream, as he found it hard to come to terms with the reality that someone had offered so much money for some tea leaves.Sir Johnson thought of something and suddenly turned around to walk to the courtyard.He went up to Alice, who was inside a room of the other villa, and asked anxiously, “Alice, are the tea leaves you gave

  • Wrong judgement

    Derrick got into his car furiously and instructed his chauffeur to start driving away immediately.By the time the Johnsons came out to chase after him, Derrick’s car was already long gone.Cornelius stood rooted to the ground as he carefully recalled what Derrick said.Indeed, Derrick is a tea connoisseur.Since he said those tea leaves are authentic, it should more likely than not be the case.Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered so much money for a lousy bag of tea leaves.If the tea leaves are authentic, the young man who gifted them to Sir Johnson shouldn’t be an ordinary person.But both Sir Johnson and Dahlia called him a good-for-nothing who freeloads off his wife, and they clearly sounded contemptuous just now. They even threw the tea leaves he gave Sir Johnson into the trash.That just goes to show that they detest him a lot.In that case, Derrick is right.The Johnsons are indeed too ignorant and improvident.Sir Johnson walked toward Cornelius and looked at the car in the

  • Ignorance is not bliss!

    Sir Johnson hurriedly said, “Yeah, Mr. Charleston, you’d better put it back, lest it dirties your hand! This bag of tea leaves is a gift from my grandson-in-law, who’s nothing but a freeloader. He even claimed that it was top-grade tea. Hah, he’s just a penniless live-in husband who sponges off his wife. How can he possibly afford to buy such expensive tea leaves? He was just trying to fool me with some lousy goods!... Ah, the sight of this bag of lousy tea leaves really angers me. I don’t even want to talk about him. It’s such a misfortune of our family!”Dahlia hurriedly said, “Grandpa, why are you getting so worked up because of someone like him? Calm down. Don’t let your health be affected!”Then she said to Derrick, “Mr. Charleston, let me help you dispose of the tea leaves.”Dahlia reached out to grab the bag of tea leaves from Derrick.“Hold it!” Derrick suddenly yelled and moved his hand away from Dahlia’s hand.Instead of putting down the bag of tea leaves, he carefully opene
