Elijah looked at the fragile Madison in his arms, her blood slowly staining his clothes though he didn't seem to care one bit as he cleaned the blood from her face.

Then, he looked at her abdomen to find that there was a bullet hole in it.

As it was, she was seconds away from dying due to blood loss.

“Thomas,” Elijah muttered as he used his spiritual energy to cauterize the wound, saving her from instant death.

“Yes, captain.”

“Keep her safe.” Elijah intoned as he handed an unconscious Madison over to Thomas who quickly took her in his arms.

Meanwhile, in the penthouse above, Aiden was licking his lips in annoyance.

He'd hoped to misbehave with Madison before her death, but it seemed that plan would have to be shelved, considering she had no way of surviving a fall from the tenth floor.

He didn't even care that she was dead because it meant nothing to him.

Even if everyone saw him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him because he was a part of the Leroy family, leaving him untou

    Aiden's subordinates thought that they would be able to overwhelm Elijah with numbers, unfortunately, they couldn't have been more wrong. All of them ended up on the ground, unable to get back up with Elijah standing over them without breaking a sweat. Aiden could only watch with terror, unable to believe that Elijah was so terrifying. Turning around, he tried to flee in silence but Elijah wasn't about to let that happen after everything he'd done. He kicked a knife that was lying on the ground, causing it to slice through the air, before meeting its mark as it sunk into Aiden's leg. “Ah!... Don't come any closer, stay away!” Aiden screamed in terror as he lay in a puddle of his blood. His right leg wouldn't stop bleeding even as he tried to stop it while watching as Elijah approached him like a grim reaper. If only Aiden had behaved himself, none of this would have happened but unfortunately, he dared to touch what was most important to Elijah. Even if he hadn't touched Madi

    Charles had experienced a lot in his years, working as a don in the Mafia world of Crystal Falls. So, even as Elijah was so bold, that didn't mean it was the first time he'd seen such but unequivocally, all those that had been so audacious had met the same fate. Either they'd ended up bowing to him or they were six feet under. Hence, the reason why he wasn't worried about Elijah and remarked. “Good, very good. Since you have decided to make your bed, you shall lie on it. Men!” “Yes, boss!” “Teach this fool some manners.” Immediately, a hundred men surrounded Elijah, leaving him no room to escape. However, Elijah stood in place, not bothering to move an inch as he waited for the unlucky fool that would attack him first. There was not even a hint of worry on his face, same with Thomas who stood a distance away, watching the proceedings. Suddenly, Elijah's aura surged, turning into an unstoppable force that surged through the sky. Despite this, Charles didn't think

    Elijah's villa on the outskirts of Crystal Falls occupied about 20,000 square meters and it was one of the most luxurious villas in the city. It had everything from a garden to a swimming pool and even a golf course. Alice sat on the soft couch of the foyer, looking around in disbelief at the villa that could be easily mistaken for a palace belonging to a powerful ancient ruler. She had thought that she would never be able to see anything beautiful again in her life after everything she'd had to endure in her family manor but now, sitting within this paradise, she was unsure of how to feel. Just then, Elijah joined her in the foyer before kneeling before her. Alice instinctively turned away, unwilling to allow Elijah to see her scared face which made her appear like a monster. Elijah said nothing as he stared at her causing her heart to beat rapidly. Alice wanted nothing more than to disappear and hide at that moment. But then Elijah reached out and tilted her face up gently,

    Alice emerged from the shower after a while wearing a white slip dress which showed off her smooth neck and arms.In the past, she would have never dared to wear such a thing but now, she was in a good mood, enjoying her perfect new skin.Just then, she saw Elijah seated on the couch, smoking while staring at nothing in particular causing her to pause.Taking a deep breath, she walked over and sat down next to him.Silence followed for a few seconds before she finally spoke up. “She's your daughter.”Elijah paused his smoking, his eyes flickering with emotions before he asked. “When did it happen?”“Before the fire incident. You remember that night well, don't you?”Elijah gave no response but he remembered almost like it was yesterday.Alice had just closed a major deal that would bring in several million for Wesen Corporation, and so she threw a party to celebrate.Surprisingly, she had invited Elijah along with her other friends.They'd gotten drunk and everyone was out of it.Elij

    Before Alice could mount a protest, Olivia dragged her away to the family sitting room where most of the Wesen family members were gathered.Elijah didn't think much of her actions as he followed closely behind. Alice looked back at him helplessly with Elijah assuring her that everything would be alright.Since he'd said he would always be with her, who would dare to separate them?... Not even the gods would dare to do so.In any case, upon their arrival at the family sitting room, everyone looked in disbelief at the beautiful girl next to Olivia after the latter had introduced her as Alice.How could she be Alice?Alice the beast, Alice the monster… that same Alice?What on earth happened?... How could she have undergone such a terrifying transformation in such a short time?“Alice, is it you?”“Did you undergo plastic surgery?... Has technology advanced to such an extent already!?”No one could believe that the woman they had mocked for ten years had somehow managed to become the m

    “A chance?” George sneered. “Elijah Silva, according to our information, you are an orphan with nothing to your name. Just because you spent some time in the military, you think you are worthy of Alice?... Well, reality check, Alice is way out of your league!” George disliked Elijah from the start. He was a mere retired soldier in any case with no power of money to his name, what was he so arrogant for? “That's enough, George.” Mr. Wesen intoned. “You want me to give you a chance?” “Yes.” Elijah nodded. “Fine then, have you heard of Gold Lake Group?... We have always wanted to work with them, but we've never managed it, and a relationship with them is one of the reasons we wanted Alice to marry Aiden. If you could make it work, then I'd be more than happy to acknowledge you as a part of the family.” As it was, Mr. Wesen didn't think Elijah would be able to close such a deal and only made up this challenge to make things difficult for him, hopeful that he would give up.

    Gilbert understood that the War God was no ordinary man and, therefore, commanded the highest level of respect due to the important position he held in the nation. Just by being close to him, Gilbert felt like a single mistake would cost him, so he didn't dare to misbehave as he waited for Elijah to respond to his greeting. “Gilbert Strong?” Elijah muttered as he put down the documents he was holding. He glanced at Gilbert as he was kneeling on the ground, prompting him to let out a sigh. “We don't do that here.” “Sir?” “Stand up.” “Yes sir.” Gilbert didn't hesitate to do as instructed, quickly rising to his feet, and even though he was sweating profusely, he did not attempt to wipe the sweat. Trembling in fear, he wondered if he had made some sort of catastrophic mistake to earn the attention of the most powerful man in the nation apart from the Emperor. Ignoring Gilbert’s tense state, Elijah remarked. “Tomorrow, my wife Alice Wesen will be visiting your company t

  • Did I say you could leave?

    “Punk, report your name! Who exactly are you?” The man in black held his bleeding right wrist pierced by the coin while clenching his teeth and glowering at Elijah.Elijah raised his eyebrows.Most people would be overwhelmed with immense pain when they received such an injury, and very few would be able to remain so calm and only let out a short cry of pain at the start.This was enough to show that he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person.Elijah guessed that these people probably came from the same organization as Layla did.However, Layla suddenly wanted out of the organization for some reason, but they weren’t willing to let her go, so they sent people to capture her.As for the chief these men in black had mentioned, Elijah reckoned that he was probably the head of one of the organization’s branches.Elijah glanced at them calmly and said in a frigidly composed tone, “You’re not qualified to know who I am! You just need to remember that if you still don’t get lost in a minute, yo

  • Layla

    A wave of unusual footsteps suddenly rang out all around, and several people clad in black suddenly appeared and surrounded Layla.“Hah, Layla Al'Ghul, where else do you want to run off to now? You’ve made us look for you for such a long time. You’re really something!”Layla’s expression changed drastically, and she immediately put her guard up.“You people are really everywhere! I’ve already told you before that I’ve already quit. I have nothing more to do with you guys!” Layla hollered with a cold expression.“Hah, you want to quit just like that? Dream on! The chief has already instructed us to tell you that he will give you another chance if you come back with us obediently. If you don’t know any better, the only thing you’ll face is death!” the leader, a man clad in black, said coldly.“Give up! I won’t go back there even if I die!” Layla yelled furiously through gritted teeth.“Hmph, since you’re so stubborn, prepare to die!” The leader issued an order, and five people around hi

  • Hold it right there!

    Alice glanced at Elijah. “Who's that?”“Stay here.” Elijah remarked as he stepped out.The woman was none other than one of the assassins that had tried to kill Celeste. At the time, Elijah had let her off in the end because she held a special sword.He had merely knocked it out of her hand and confiscated it.He didn’t expect this woman to come after him to ask for the blade. “I’ve already told you the last time we met that those who work for evil are not worthy of owning that sword! Get lost, or I can’t guarantee that I’ll let you off this time!” Elijah roared angrily.The woman in black stayed silent for two seconds before walking toward Elijah. “My grandfather left this sword behind for me. You must return it to me!”Light shone on her face, revealing her features.The last time they met, she had been wearing a mask, concealing her face completely.But this time, her face was not covered, and Elijah could tell that she was probably around 27 or 28 years old.She wasn’t very pret

    With that, Elijah turned to Denise. “Happy?”Denise nodded in slight embarrassment. “There was no need for that.”“You were being maltreated. There's no way I'd allow my daughter's benefactor go through such.”Then, Elijah turned to Celeste and said. “Her name is Denise, and she once saved my daughter.”Celeste was greatly surprised.She thought that there might be some other relationship between the beautiful Denise and Elijah.But they didn’t expect that Denise had saved Claire.It was no wonder that Elijah had helped her just now and had even forced Taylor to slap herself ten times in the face in order to help her get justice.Celeste’s heartstrings, which were tensed up, suddenly eased up as a smile bloomed on her face.“So you once saved Claire. That’s great!” Celeste said smilingly as she held Denise’s hand.Denise felt a little embarrassed. “Actually… I didn’t help Claire with anything. I’m not really considered her savior.”Elijah said firmly, “You helped Claire, and you did i

  • Bullying the bully

    The restaurant lobby wasn’t that large, and their conversation was soon heard clearly by the onlookers, who were waiting for the matter to develop further.“Who exactly is this young man? Celeste Ainsworth is on his side, and she doesn’t mind going against Miss Taylor for this young man!”“I don’t know, but I reckon he must be someone with an incredible identity! No wonder he insisted on confronting Sparda and Miss Taylor. It turns out he really has what it takes to do so!”“Hehe, do you guys think Taylor Baylor will slap herself? Just look at how arrogant she was. Now, she’s finally defeated. I’m so happy!”“Hahaha, why don’t we have a bet? Let’s see if Miss Taylor will slap herself or not.”“Shh, shut up! Keep your volume down. Be careful they might take revenge on you! You’re not like that young man who has the power to go against the Baylors!”All sorts of whispering spread to Taylor.She was so enraged that her face flushed, and she felt a strong urge to nab these gloating people

  • Either you do it or I will

    As one of the most expensive restaurants in the county, the Wolf Restaurant had a plethora of carefully chosen hardware and facilities.For example, although the dining tables in the lobby weren’t as good as the mahogany tables in the luxurious private rooms on the top floor, they were made of high-grade solid wood.Even if someone ground the blade of a sharp knife against the tables, there wouldn’t be obvious traces.But Elijah actually left an almost two-centimeter deep palm-shaped dent in the table with his hand. How terrifying must his strength be?!He was just like a martial arts expert of action moves, for he had impeccable martial arts that were just too exaggerated!Taylor, who was right in front of the table, gasped in horror and turned pale when she saw the obvious palm print on the table.She staggered backward in horror and grabbed the pretty boy she had brought with her tightly as if she had found a straw to clutch at.But the pretty boy was extremely timid and cowardly e

  • Slap yourself ten times

    But the punishment wasn’t over yet because he had made outrageous threats to crush all of Elijah’s bones.So now, it was his turn to bear the consequences of this.With several more cracking sounds, the few elite bodyguards pinning Sparda onto the floor crushed all the bones in his body except for his skull and spine.At this moment, Sparda couldn’t even scream, and his body was drenched in cold sweat, looking as though he had been fished out of water.His underlings didn’t escape the punishment either.Each of them had one of their legs broken and was dragged to the entrance of the restaurant.After the bodyguards threw all these people out of the restaurant, Celeste carefully asked Elijah, “Elijah, those people have all been taken care of. Do you think this is fine?”Elijah nodded casually.Sparda and his underlings were crooks who often got up to malicious misdeeds, so they deserved this fate.But… there was still another person.Elijah suddenly looked at Taylor, who immediately be

    To think that she would appear now all of a sudden.Unfortunately, Celeste didn’t even look at him and walked straight toward Elijah.Afterward, Sparda watched as Celeste walked up to Elijah and said. “Fancy seeing you here, I heard your relatives had a wedding so I thought to attend, so imagine my surprise when I get there to find that you had already left.”“Apologies, a lot happened.”“I guessed as much.”Sparda’s eyes were about to fall out as he watched Elijah speak with Celeste like a friend. All the people in the lobby on the first floor of the Wolf Restaurant were astonished and fell silent.There was instantly dead silence in the lobby!The cold sweat on Sparda’s face immediately trickled down.As long as his brains were working fine, he’d be able to figure out instantly that he had definitely offended the wrong person this time!Elijah wasn’t someone he could afford to provoke at all!“You just said that you were going to break my limbs and make me kneel on the floor and be

  • No one is to move again

    Denise was extremely anxious as she tugged the corner of Elijah’s shirt with a pale expression on her face.Sparda narrowed his eyes. “Punk, you’ve got some nerve! But on account of your girlfriend, I’ll let you off for now. Get lost immediately!”Elijah’s eyes lit up, and he pretended to be happy. “Thank you so much, Sparda. We’ll leave now.”Then he pulled Denise and walked toward the entrance of the restaurant.But the two of them had just taken a few steps when they were stopped by Sparda, who had flown into a rage, and his underlings.“Stop!” Sparda roared in fury. “Punk, are you an idiot, or are you deliberately pretending to be stupid in front of me? I told you to get lost and leave the woman behind! If not for your girlfriend’s sake, I would have broken both of your legs by now!”Then he looked at Denise threateningly. “Babe, a woman like you should find a man who can protect you. This punk next to you can’t protect you at all. If you stay with him, you’re going to suffer all
