“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?...

  • 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

  • Pledging allegiance

    Layla pursed her lips, but she nevertheless said, “I don’t know how much you know about the organization, but it’s actually colossal. There is not only an enormous amount of experts, but it also has forces and branches all over the world. They’re not to be trifled with. My abilities aren’t considered extraordinary, and there are many people much better at martial arts than I am. So even the eight major families in the capital are trying their best to cooperate with the.. They don’t dare to be hostile to them either.” Looking at Elijah with a complicated expression, she said cautiously, “Going toe-to-toe against the shadow organization will bring about a huge tragedy if you’re not careful. I have to inform you about this. Actually, I’m very grateful to you for saving my life yesterday, so you don’t have to…” Before Layla could finish speaking, Elijah interrupted her. “It’s just a small organization. It’s no big deal. What I said last night still stands. If they come to me on their ow

  • It's already too late

    The pupils of the three men in black constricted, and one of them immediately yelled, “What else do you want? We won’t catch this woman today!”Elijah smiled mirthlessly. “It’s already too late.”As soon as he finished speaking, the coins in his hand immediately darted out, and the shiny metal surface of the coins reflected the panic-stricken faces of the three men trying to dodge.But the next instant, the coins accurately penetrated through the throats of these three people.Three jets of blood spurted into the air as the three men in black froze in place.A few seconds later, they collapsed onto the ground with loud thuds and could no longer move.Blood gradually spread across the ground with an intense iron odor.Layla sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the corpses on the ground. All of them were killed in seconds!It was incredible!Layla’s jaw dropped as she looked at Elijah in disbelief. She moved her lips, but she couldn’t say a single word.The power of this man in front
