The Almighty God of War Returns Meeting the White Tiger
As Olivia and Oliver basked in the beauty of the Gold room while Elijah was just happy to finally have some peace and quiet with his wife, the food arrived. Beautiful waitresses brought the food which was extremely appetizing just from its smell alone. The group didn't hesitate to eat to their satisfaction, eating and drinking while enjoying the shows put on by performers specially ordered by Mr. Clyde. After almost an hour had passed, Mr. Clyde returned to check on things. “Hello, everyone. Is everything to your liking?” He was aware that Elijah didn't wish to be outed as an important figure hence the reason he didn't dare to put too much attention on him. Meanwhile, Olivia felt great that finally, she could enjoy the luxurious life that she had always dreamed about. “Yes, everything is great, thank you,” Alice replied. “That's good to hear. If you don't mind, I'd like to give this to you.” As he spoke, Mr. Clyde took out a card and handed it to Alice. “What is this?”
The Almighty God of War Returns Auction at the Golden Treasury
The Romano family was one of the few families that could be considered B-tier when it came to influence in Crystal Falls. They were involved in the Power sector, utilizing oil, solar, hydro, and so many other forms of energy, marking themselves out as the Kings of Energy, which was what they were called by the media. Their wealth far surpassed the Wesen family and even the Neesons would struggle to stand on the same level with them. So it was only natural that such a family would have connections to the Golden Treasury with the third most likely to become heir of the family attending the auction. Luigi Romano was the fourth son of the Romano family and had proven himself as even more capable than his third brother when it came to leading the company which was why he was considered the third most likely to be named heir of the family. He was handsome and carried himself with an air of arrogance that seemed to define his characteristics. Accompanied by a female escort, he was
The Almighty God of War Returns Sold!
Soon enough, the diamond necklace was sold for two million dollars to an unknown bidder, which assured Elijah that the identity of the bidders wouldn't be revealed, which meant he could purchase without worries.Meanwhile, the ladies on stage returned with the glass box while another duo emerged with a different glass box that contained a pair of gold earrings.“Ladies and gentlemen, this is an antique from the previous era, earrings worn by the last empress to rule Albion before it officially changed its name to Avalon.”As expected, Simon's words caused the hall to explode with murmurs as more than half of the attendants had the desire to own antiques, especially ones owned by royalty in the past.If such a relic was just the second item, one had to wonder what had been kept for last.Unless there was something wrong with the ring none were willing to take the risk of losing out on such an incredible item based on probability.Seeing as how the entire hall was enraptured with the di
The Almighty God of War Returns Delivering a message
“That can't be real, right?” Someone muttered.To think that a shark, no, a whale, was in their midst.Meanwhile, Luigi nearly ripped his hair off his scalp as he stared at the overwhelming value displayed on the black screen.Not just the earrings but the tiara as well?... Was the person doing this so hungry for death that he would go against him twice?Luigi wouldn't accept defeat so easily. Absolutely not.Just then, his escort returned with a man wearing a full-body suit.The man's presence caused those in the room with Luigi to become uncomfortable though they couldn't figure out why.Luigi knew though.Apache was a former military and had served in several wars where he had killed hundreds. On one operation, he'd snapped and ended up killing his entire unit.After that, he became a wanted man.While on the run, that was when he came into contact with the Romanos, who hired him as their go-to guy for carrying out things they didn't want getting linked back to them.He was the g
The Almighty God of War Returns On the verge of committing an atrocity
“Who are you?” Luigi asked. “Irrelevant information for a dead man.”Gulping nervously, Luigi remarked. “Look, don't kill me, please, I can give you money. I'm the heir of the Romano family. Just let me go, I promise I'll do anything you want.”He was so terrified that he forgot his true position in the Romano family but then again, anything to save himself from the terrifying man standing at the doorstep.He wondered how the man had managed to get past Golden Treasury security but that wasn't important right now.What was important was that not only had Apache and his subordinates been brought back with bruises, but a lone man radiating intense darkness with the capability to end his life was now standing before him.“Money?... Power?... Do you dare to claim that you have it in more abundance than the Reaper?”Luigi hesitated, unsure of how to respond.“You are nothing but a frog at the bottom of the well. To have the audacity to come against the Reaper is nothing short of blind stu
The Almighty God of War Returns Mummy, save me!
The next morning, Elijah woke up early and prepared breakfast for Alice and Claire.“Mummy, Dad made pancakes!” Claire exclaimed in joy while already seated at the breakfast table.Alice chuckled as she made her way over. “That's nice.”Elijah served the two ladies before taking his seat as well.Alice took a bite and let out a surprised sound. “Oh my, I didn't know you could cook.”Elijah feigned a pained expression as he replied. “Now that just hurts my ego.”Claire giggled as she ate the pancakes with a flurry.Just after they were done, Alice helped to clear the plates while Elijah stepped out for a bit to retrieve the gifts.He returned just as Alice and Claire were about to step out.“This is for you.” He said as he handed over a pink gift box to Claire before then handing over a blue gift box to Alice. “And this is for you.”Alice scrutinized him with a smile as she accepted the box. “What's the occasion?”Elijah shrugged, not saying anything while Claire opened her gift box on
The Almighty God of War Returns Blame your parents for going against the wrong person
Albeit unwilling, Alice had no choice but to agree with Elijah’s sincere request, considering she was hardly in an optimal state.She was bleeding, and if it wasn't tended to quickly, it could end up leaving her in a coma or, worse, dead.Elijah didn't dare to end the call as he rushed to get Thomas to go after Alice while he left to find Claire.Meanwhile, within the white van, Claire was crying profusely for her parents forcing the masked men to gag her and bind her hands and feet.Watching all this, David flashed a wicked smile. “Alice Wesen, you left me no choice. Now you can only blame yourself for what I plan to do to you and your family.”***Lord Wesen was seated in his study, his expression less than pleased as he pondered on ways to deal with Alice.As it was, he considered her a threat to his rule as head of the family.Not only was she competent but she was no longer subservient and had begun to think for herself.With the way things were going, he would soon end up unable
The Almighty God of War Returns Malvolo and the Rippers
“Alright then, keep me updated and make sure not even a bird escaped this city,” Elijah remarked. “David Wesen will surely die today, that is non-negotiable!”With that said, the conference call ended and Elijah drove towards 86.Meanwhile, Lord Wesen was completely out of it as he quickly called up David.“You bastard, what have you done to Elijah that caused him to attack the manor?”“Grandfather, don't worry, after I'm done with Alice, I'll come for you as well.”“What did you say to me, boy?”“You took what rightfully belongs to me and gave it to that bitch Alice. Did you think that I won't do anything about that?... Now, just you wait; I will make both you and Alice regret ever humiliating me, that's for sure!”“You idiot, what are you even saying?... Do you even know what you've done?... Elijah is coming to kill you!”“Let him come,” David said. “I swear I'll make him regret doing so.” “David Wesen!... Stop this madness now!”“Goodbye, grandfather, I will be with you shortly.”

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
