The Almighty God of War Returns Die, Elijah Silva, die!
Elijah considered taking a shot from long range but Present was smart.He had positioned his body in a way that no matter what, if anything happened to him, Madison would end up falling over the edge with him.Taking a moment to ponder more options, Elijah remarked. “So what now?” “What now?... Well, to be honest, I'm not quite sure. I'm tempted to get you to just kill yourself but I have a feeling it would not be possible. So let's do this.”Present took out a knife from his pocket and then tossed it towards Elijah.“Use that instead. As long as you are willing to stab your core with that knife, then I'd let her go.”Elijah glanced down at the knife, quickly realizing Present’s intentions.He wanted to weaken Elijah by having him lose his status as a cultivator.“General!” Thomas immediately called out as he was quick to decipher the situation as well.“General, if you use that knife, this nation would lose another protector, we can't let that happen,” Jeffery said from the side.El

With Present defeated, it didn't take long for the situation to de-escalate as his subordinates were captured and subsequently arrested by Elijah’s forces.The hostages were rescued and immediately sent off for rehabilitation, with the middle school placed on lockdown for the time being.It was a rather traumatic experience so it was understandable that they didn't think about opening up the school just yet.As for the citizens, to help them recover from the attack, the minister announced a public holiday that was to span for two days, allowing everyone to relax and get over the events of the day.For those who died, the White Tiger King announced that they would be buried with honors and their families would be compensated for their losses.And so, for the time being, it seemed as though the effects of the terrorist attack were sure to pass away.“Quite unfortunate.” Past muttered as he watched everything play out on the news.Future chuckled as he replied. “Present was too cocky. No
The Almighty God of War Returns Forgive me, young master
“Will you not invite me in?” Albert asked with Elijah narrowing his gaze briefly before finally stepping aside.“Say something dumb, and I will kick you out personally,” Elijah warned, with Albert replying with a smile.“No problem at all.”With that, Albert walked into the villa with Elijah leading him to the garden so he wouldn't come across Alice or Claire.Unfortunately, the duo had just stepped into the garden when they arrived.“Daddy!” Claire exclaimed as she rushed over and hugged him with Elijah picking her up.Albert was rather surprised by this as he stared at Claire and then at Alice.“Honey, who is this?” Alice asked.Elijah glanced at Albert as he replied. “Just an acquaintance. No need for you to worry.”“Hmm, alright then.”“Can you take Claire inside?... We have something we need to talk about.”“Alright then,” Alice said before inquiring. “Do you want me to get something?... Like water or snacks?”“That…”“Won't be necessary, dear. You don't have to worry.” Elijah re

Elijah hesitated before replying. “Alice and Claire.”“They seem wonderful. Take good care of them.”“I don't need you to tell me that.”Albert chuckled as he continued on his way.Elijah let out a sigh as he looked down at the key before proceeding to pocket it.It seemed that everything he thought was the truth was flawed.If he wanted to understand the truth of it all, Elijah would need to head to the capital.As for the bastard that caused the attack at the middle school, Elijah had only one thing to say to them.“Run… for when I find you, you will pray for death, but death will not come.”***Alice tried to ask about Albert when Elijah returned inside but the latter dodged her questions as he didn't think it was the right time to speak to her about it.It was better she didn't know anything than she did.Realizing that Elijah wasn't willing to open up, Alice decided not to force things, hopeful that Elijah would speak with her once he was ready.In any case, after a few more days
The Almighty God of War Returns Stalker
The young paparazzi, whose name was Dan, had spent the entire afternoon secretly taking photos of Elijah, who had been kind and gentlemanly towards Madison in a bid to use them for nefarious purposes.He'd thought he could get away with it but now faced with Elijah, he was overwhelmed with an immense fear as it felt like he was being sized up by a terrifying beast.Dan realized belatedly that he had very likely offended a big shot which was something he shouldn't have done. Gulping nervously, he remarked. “It's all a misunderstanding.”“Really?” Elijah replied as he took a step forward while Dan quickly shuffled back in fear.“Yeah, honest.”“Who set you up to this?” Elijah asked while gesturing at the camera. “No one, honest to God. I'm just a photographer, and I thought you and your wife looked cute together, so I decided to take a few photos. If you don't like them, then that's fine. Just return the camera to me, and I'll delete them.” Elijah sneered as he pulled out the camera'
The Almighty God of War Returns False alarm
In a luxurious villa owned by the Augustus family in the capital, a young man in his twenties was reclining on a soft leather sofa with a sullen expression.Kneeling across from him was an older man wearing a suit.Judging from the tension in the air, one could easily tell that something was wrong.The older man didn't dare to speak out of turn at this moment as he waited patiently for the young man to speak up.Finally, he did.“So you failed?” “Apologies, young master, I failed to get the task down well. I'm incompetent.”“That you are.” The young man nodded, satisfied that at least the older fool knew he was at fault.The older man didn't stop there, though, as he continued. “In truth, I had found a perfect candidate who managed to put Elijah in a chokehold but to our surprise, he managed to overturn the entire situation, saving the hostages and defeating our candidate. Thankfully, that person is dead but the task remains unfulfilled.”“What's the point of all that when the main t
The Almighty God of War Returns The Ghoul King's phylactery
“What do you mean by the Ghoul King is dead?” Elijah asked.“It's exactly as I said, General,” Leo said. “He bit off his tongue and died in the interrogation room.”“Damn it, did we get any information from him?”“Unfortunately no. He remained silent until his death. A tough nut to crack.”Elijah clicked his tongue as he was not happy to hear that the Ghoul King had escaped custody.He'd hoped that the Ghoul King could be used to pinpoint the other Disasters but now, the lead had gone cold.But he didn't wish to believe that the Ghoul King would die so easily.He was a Disaster, one of the most powerful villains in the world.Those bastards weren't so easily defeated.Elijah guessed that he most likely had a means to come back to life, after all, he was a cultivator that dealt with souls.“Has an autopsy been carried out?” Elijah asked with Leo responding.“Yes. So far only one thing has been discovered.”“What?”“The corpse lacks a spiritual imprint.”Elijah paused, quickly pondering
The Almighty God of War Returns Atlas
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

Enemies on two fronts
“You may call us the last thing you would see before your death, the end of the road… whatever floats your boat.” The second person said with a chuckle.With a casual thought, Elijah made a guess. “You are assassins.”“Ding ding ding looks like we have a winner.”Elijah was rather surprised that there were those in the underworld who were bold enough to go for the bounty Hacksaw had placed on his head.It seemed not everyone cared for their lives… though judging from the two individuals before him, they seemed like the kind that had little regard for life. Just as he was about to address them, there was a thunderous sound of footsteps.Elijah and the two assassins glanced back to find a group of thugs armed with machetes and steel pipes rushing in.“Hah, so you actually got some help.” one of the assassins said before adding. “Unfortunately, this won't be enough to cause us any trouble!”It was clear that the assassins didn't take the thugs seriously.Elijah raised his brows as he co
Shocking the guests
Celeste's act of declaring Elijah to be a better fit for her than Bernard was immediately met with mixed reactions from the guests, with most of those reactions bordering on confusion.“Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?”“Yes!”“Celeste Ainsworth, heiress of the Ainsworth family likes a kept husband like Elijah Silva?... This doesn't make any sense!”Meanwhile, Bernard stared at Elijah, struggling to figure out why she would prefer Elijah over him before finally coming to a realization.‘She wants someone that she can use and dump whenever she feels like it, so naturally, she would go for a man that has no family backing him.’Taking that into consideration, Bernard remarked. “So that's the problem?... You are threatened by my family name?”“What?”“Isn't that the reason you'd prefer a useless man like Elijah Silva?” Bernard confidently replied causing Celeste to chuckle at his lack of knowledge.“You seem to have made a blunder in your deduction. Why would I feel threatened by you
Is there something on my face?
Due to how Celeste took Alice wherever she went, people began to think that the two had established a close connection.In truth, though they had only spent a day together, Alice had quickly acclimated to the type of person Celeste was and since the two ladies had a lot in common, it didn't take much for them to become friends.Elijah accompanied them a few times but, after a while, grew bored of the constant conversations that usually bordered around the same things.If they weren't trying to form connections, they were trying to catch the attention of the ladies and if not that, they were nitpicking Elijah's presence.Wary of all that, he took a break to head to the toilet and relieve himself.Seeing an opportunity, Bernard didn't hesitate to take it as he immediately made his way over to where Alice and Celeste were.Almost at the same time, the music the DJ was playing shifted from upbeat to a more romantic vibe, and the lights above changed colors from white to a purplish hue.Be
Get-together
Bernard's misinterpretation of the actions of Celeste and Alice was equally shared by the other guests in attendance as they began to gossip among themselves.“Can you imagine that?... Celeste stepped out to greet Bernard herself. It means the rumors of a romance between them are true!”“Forget that, even Alice seems to be interested as well. Ah, how I would kill to gain the interest of even one of these two fairies.”“Heh, stop dreaming. You don't have what it takes. Maybe when you are worth a few hundred million, then you can think of going after them. For now, we can only watch a master at work.”As they continued to discuss, Bernard had a proud smile on his face as he waited for Alice and Celeste to arrive with open arms.The two ladies exchanged looks with one another before looking at Bernard like he was an idiot after which they continued on their way. “Eh… what's going on?... Where are they going… did they stop out of embarrassment?”“Maybe?”As onlookers were confused by the
The Hallowed Crown
Elijah left the City of Sin, completely overwhelmed with everything he'd learned from Zero.Just the fact that Hacksaw, an influential figure loyal to the Prime Minister had placed a bounty on his head meant that the problem in Albion was not just related to a few members of the bourgeoisie.It had also eaten deep into the aristocracy as well, which caused him to wonder just what had happened in the years he was fighting at the northern border.Had he focused so much on the northern border that he didn't realize that there were festering problems within the nation?Letting out a sigh, he took out his cell phone and placed a call to Thomas.“Yes general.”“I need you to look into the current movements of Hacksaw. Let me know if he came to Crystal Falls at any point in time.”“It would be difficult, general. Hacksaw is no ordinary figure and his secrets are just as closely guarded as yours.”“I know. Just find out what you can and relay it to me. As for Chronos' disciples, let them be f
High-risk individual
Considering Elijah was seen as a High-risk Individual, few could be considered his equal in a one-on-one fight.With this understanding, the thugs immediately became respectful. “Right this way.”Elijah was led through the entrance which led to a spacious hall adorned with expensive ornaments.One of the thugs remarked. “I'll inform Zero of your presence. For now, please take a seat.”“Alright.”It didn't take long before Zero arrived, escorted by the thug who went to get him and an additional one who seemed to serve as a bodyguard.He was a buff man with faint wisps of spirit energy floating about his figure.It was easy to tell that he was a cultivator like Elijah.Judging from Zero's physique, it was clear he was most likely a Combatant cultivator, which meant those who focused more on offensive skills when cultivating.He sat across from Elijah and scanned him briefly before speaking up. “My boys told me you are a High-risk Individual. I rather doubt it so I'm here to test it out.
Meeting with Zero
“According to what we recovered, they are most likely aiding Past and Future because they believe they'd be able to get a huge reward at the end,” Thomas reported.Elijah could shake his head, disappointed that civilians could be so easily convinced.The treasure that the disciples of Chronos were searching for was indeed valuable, but retrieving it would cause untold destruction to the entire city.He wondered if they would be able to live with such an outcome.Perhaps, if they could easily be bought with money, they wouldn't care about what happened to the city.Regardless, it was best to ensure that both Past and Future were caught before the situation got out of hand.“Any idea on who the family is?”“Not yet. But they are affiliated with the underworld so talking with Zero would help us uncover their true identity.”“Alright then, organize a meeting. I'll go there myself.”“Understood.”With that, the call ended, and Elijah drove out of the boutique.It didn't take too long befor
Celeste's probing
Silence reigned for a few seconds after Alice asked the question plaguing for so long with Celeste meeting her gaze calmly.Just as she felt like she had struck a nerve, Celeste spoke up, chuckling in amusement as she replied. “Do you think I have an ulterior motive?”“... Do you not?” Alice asked, feeling skeptical.Celeste beamed. “Well, it might seem that way but I promise that it's nothing like that.”“Then, why?”“Well, I've always admired you. You're a genius and I would like to build a relationship with you.”“You wish to build a relationship with me?”“Of course,” Celeste said. “I mean, you were able to attract investments from Jeffery Felton and Gilbert Strong, two powerhouses in the corporate world. So naturally, I'd like to get in on whatever they saw.”“Oh,” Alice muttered, a trace of disappointment welling up within her.Even though she had expected that Celeste wasn't acting all friendly for no reason, she didn't realize it was for such a reason.But then again, it was b
An impulsive young miss
Velvet Fashions was one of the many brands owned by the Ainsworth estate.Unlike most other families that had family companies, the Ainsworths didn't have that.As they were a noble house that had grown their wealth to an unimaginable degree during the monarchic era of Albion, they saw no reason to create a company.Instead, they busied themselves with investing in various brands and making them their own; that way, they wouldn't have to go through the stress of building a particular brand from scratch.So far, the Ainsworth family owned several brands in several different sectors, each one worth at least ten million dollars.Altogether, it was estimated that if they were to merge all the brands they owned, the net worth of the merged company would be closing in on ten billion dollars!In any case, as the heiress of the Ainsworth estate, Celeste hardly bothered with the brands they owned, only taking action in severe cases.But when she received a report of the situation in Velvet, sh
