Elijah smirked as he stared down the Ghoul King, the latter feeling quite tense though he didn't show it.'Who does he think he is?... I am the Ghoul King!... No man can dare to disrespect me and expect to survive. No, if I don't show this fool his place, he would think he was the Emperor.'"I will give you one last chance, Mr. Silva. Accept my offer or I will make you regret being born.""Just shut up and fight me already." Elijah casually said, causing the Ghoul King to go red in anger and humiliation."Good, very good. Best keep up that attitude once I'm done with you.""Don't worry, I don't plan on losing it."The Ghoul King gritted his teeth but said nothing more as he prepared to unleash his Martial Technique.'Don't worry; once I'm done with you, you'll regret ever doing all this.'With that thought, the Ghoul King attacked, forming a fist and throwing a punch once he'd reached Elijah.However, that was all… then he found himself on the ground, face first with his body aching t
The Almighty God of War Returns Advent of a great hero
Letting out a sigh, Elijah decided not to push the matter. The Ghoul King glared at Elijah as he bellowed. "You haven't seen the last of me!"Elijah didn't even offer a response as he gave him a perfunctory glance before turning to leave, causing the Ghoul King to feel even more humiliated at being treated as less than an insect."Ah!" He screamed out as Thomas ordered his men to arrest the terrorists, taking them all into custody before they left the scene.Starting from tonight, tales of Elijah Silva's bravery would be told for weeks to come.It was the advent of a great hero in Crystal Falls.***After dealing with the Ghoul King, Elijah left the White Tiger King to handle the collateral damage and also to ensure that the press didn't make too much noise about what had happened.This was to prevent Elijah from becoming too much of a central figure as that would draw too much attention to him and also, to prevent others like the Ghoul King from realizing that their plans had failed
The Almighty God of War Returns An uninvited guest
In the garden area within the Silva villa, Adam and Claire were playing around only to hear a car approaching.“Hey Claire, is your dad back?” Adam asked in excitement.Claire shook her head. “I don't know.”“Should we check if it's his car approaching?”“Okay.”And so, the two kids rushed to the gate, catching the attention of Alice and Madison who were seated at the balcony.“Where are those kids off to now?” Alice asked in exasperation.Madison chuckled. “It might have something to do with the car approaching. That's Elijah, right?”Alice glanced at the approaching vehicle before shaking her head. “That's not one of the cars in our possession.”“Then perhaps a guest?”“Maybe.”With that understanding, the ladies made their way down to meet with the guest.Elijah hadn't informed Alice of anyone paying a visit so Alice wondered if it was someone from the Wesen family.Upon arrival at the gate, she asked Madison to take the kids inside while she stepped out to meet with the owner of t
The Almighty God of War Returns Three seconds to leave or else...
“Let me?” Alice frowned at the strange wording. “Mister Dawson, this is my matrimonial home that has been fully paid for. You aren't letting me do anything.”At this point, Madison stepped out as well, causing Clement to pause as he was also stunned by her beauty.Even though she wasn't as stunning as Alice, she was most definitely not far off.If Alice was a goddess, then Madison was a pure saintess.“What's going on, Alice?” Madison asked, noting the tense atmosphere.“Oh wow, I really am a lucky man,” Clement commented as he ogled Madison.Ignoring him, Alice went ahead to explain the situation or at least what she understood from it, causing Madison to frown as well.“I don't understand, is this place rented?”“No.”“Then what the hell is this fool trying to do?” Madison didn't even bother trying to be cordial, after all, Clement was just being stupid.For what reason would he come out of the blue, seeking to confiscate the villa?Clement frowned. “You'd best watch your tongue, ju
The Almighty God of War Returns the Old Robber of the Night
Clement didn't even get a chance to explain himself as his father ended the call, leaving him stunned.He stared at Elijah who calmly remarked. “I did warn you.”“You bastard!” Clement bellowed as he tried to get back on his feet only for Elijah to kick one of his legs, breaking it in the process.“Uwaaagh!” He let out an agonizing scream as he fell back to the ground.Snorting derisively, Elijah turned away and knocked on the window of the driver.“Take your boss and his two idiots away. If you lot are still here by the time I step out, don't blame me for being ruthless.”Saying that, Elijah stepped into the villa accompanied by Thomas, Alice, and Madison.Only after he left did the driver step out to do as instructed before running away in a panic.Meanwhile, Clement continued to curse Elijah, swearing to get him back for the humiliation he'd suffered.He was still in denial about the current state of things for him.***After enjoying lunch with the family, Alice suggested they tak
The Almighty God of War Returns A malignant tumor
“Chronos is in the city?” Elijah asked with a worried look on his face.He wasn't worried for himself but for the city instead.The Ghoul King had been easily dispatched because he halved his power from the beginning and underestimated Elijah due to his hubris.For someone like Chronos, he would surely be fully powered, and since he could ambush the Old Robber, it meant his stealth skills were top-notch.Such a person could cause serious damage to the city if left to roam freely.It didn't help that with the defeat of the Frost Queen and the Ghoul King, no other Disaster would underestimate him again.“He isn't, at least from what I understood.” The Old Robber replied. “As a Disaster, do you think he would move so easily?... From what I deduced, he isn't in the city and is still at the border. However, he has sent his men into the city to locate the key. In the first place, he has three disciples: Past, Present, and Future. Any of them could easily take on the mission.”“I see.” Elija
The Almighty God of War Returns Drugged
Elijah returned to find Alice gone with Madison quickly explaining the situation so he wouldn't get the wrong idea.He didn't mind as he understood that work was important, he was only regretful that it had to come up while they were enjoying some family time.In any case, he decided not to let it ruin the whole day as there was still Claire and so, he focused on having fun with his daughter.Meanwhile, Alice made her way to a branch of Serenity to meet with Caleb Swift.Serenity was one of the few five-star rated hotels in the city, and so was well known for its high standards.Alice felt that working with such a company would help to improve PayUp's image and convince other brands to want to work with them which was why she needed to make sure that the deal was sealed.She arrived at the penthouse and sat on the couch with her legs pressed together.Seated across from her was Caleb Swift, a man in his late thirties with an appearance that seemed respectable but he was anything but t
The Almighty God of War Returns A quick death
“Stop with the formalities, just call me Caleb.”As he spoke, he crossed the distance to sit beside Alice before attempting to hold her.Alice immediately backed away as she had begun to suspect foul play.“Sorry, please excuse me.”“Where are you…”She didn't even give Caleb a chance to say anything as she tried to get up only to fall back into the couch.“Come on, Alice, you are going to hurt yourself,” Caleb said as he tried to hold her again, only for Alice to push him away before hurriedly rushing to the penthouse bathroom.She might have left the penthouse completely but she was scared that she wouldn't even be able to get anywhere far before she'd end up collapsing.So, she chose the next best thing, locking the bathroom once she was inside before proceeding to call Elijah. “And finally, my runaway wife decides to call me. How's the meeting going?”“Eli, I'm in trouble. I think I was drugged.”“What?” Elijah could hardly believe his ears.“I'm still at Serenity. Come quickly.”

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
