“Hubby.” Alice suddenly called out, jolting Elijah from his thoughts.

“Ah, apologies, of course, I'll join you.” Elijah swiftly replied as he regained his composure.

“Good. I'll send you the restaurant address, don't be late.” Alice said.

“Understood.”

Once the call ended Elijah called up Thomas to check on the investigative journalist he'd saved.

For the time being, he was recovering fine and there hadn't been any suspicious movement.

Though it was meant to be good news, both Elijah and Thomas knew quite well that they couldn't start celebrating just yet.

Time would tell if it was good or bad.

***

Two hours later, Elijah had just arrived at the restaurant when Alice called him.

She must have been worried about him taking too long, fearing he might have encountered danger.

“I’m downstairs now, don’t worry,” he said with a smile after answering the call.

After quickly ascending the stairs, Elijah spotted Alice sitting in a chair.

But the next moment, his expression suddenly grew dark

    Regaining his composure, Stanley struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed a wine bottle from a nearby table, and swung it towards Elijah’s head! Facing the charging Stanley, Elijah kicked out, flipping him onto a table nearby. The glass table was flipped over by the sheer force, shattering into pieces upon colliding with the marble floor tiles. “Ouch! That really hurts!” The force of the kick was immense, and Stanley lay on the ground wailing in pain. “Master Pierce, are you alright?” With all the commotion, Pierre sobered up quite a bit. He called out to his brother, “Lucas, call people over!” They were in real estate development and kept a group of thugs on the payroll. These men spent their days in idleness, mainly dealing with demolition work. Whenever there was trouble, these were the men who would step in. “Bastard, you’re going to regret this in a minute!” Seeing that the opponent was skilled, Lucas didn’t face him head-on. He took out his phone and diale

    Elijah had thought that after the lesson at the Hallowed Crown, this fool would restrain himself.But it turned out the man was like a mangy dog that just wouldn’t learn.“Elijah! Don’t be too arrogant! You dare to cross Master Pierce today, you think you can leave alive?”Having his sore spot uncovered, Bernard’s face immediately darkened. He turned to look at Alice, forcing a smile as he said, “Quick, leave this place. When the Sinister Six’s people arrive, you can’t avoid being implicated! ”“No need!”Alice cut him off without courtesy, “Wherever Elijah is, that’s where I’ll be! Bernard Carlson, don’t bother with your hypocritical act in front of me!”‘You…”Her words made Bernard Carlson’s face turn a shade of ugly one seldom sees.Even with his identity, why was he always looked down upon!“Master Pierce, as far as I know, this woman doesn't believe you can handle her!”With a hardened heart, Bernard turned and spoke to Stanley.If he couldn’t have her, then he would destroy her

    “Two-face, right? Tell me what you are here for!” Elijah grabbed a chair and sat down, crossing his legs casually.In the face of these people, there was no trace of panic on his face.A Sinister Six employee took off his sunglasses and pointed at Elijah, roaring. “You dare to sit in front of us!”Two-face had a high status within the Sinister Six, equivalent to the second-in-command.Within the group, apart from the first of his name, no one dared to sit while talking to Two-face.Now, not only was Elijah sitting, but he was also sitting back with his legs crossed, which greatly dissatisfied the employees under Two-Face.Before the man could open his mouth again, Two-face slapped him across the face!“Big Brother…l!”The employee covered his face, clearly not understanding what had just happened.Two-face pointed at him, shaking with anger, “Someone, take him out and cripple him!”“Big Brother!”The employees closest to him showed their confusion.They didn’t understand what the man

    “You ordered someone to chop down the General?” Thomas coldly said.Then, he ordered. “Pick him up!”Behind him, several soldiers walked over to Stanley and hoisted him up.“General, how do you want to handle this?”Elijah remarked. “Let them off with a warning.”“Understood.” Thomas nodded. “Turn off the lights!”Thomas gently touched his nose and then turned to look at the restaurant manager.Shhh!In an instant, the bright restaurant plunged into darkness.Many customers who were waiting to watch the excitement were caught off guard and started to panic.Some even pulled out their phones to record, but now in complete darkness, they couldn’t see a thing.Crack!The sound of a severe collision and bones breaking reached everyone’s ears.Then came the powerless roar of Stanley.His mouth was firmly covered by a soldier, leaving him unable to scream.Another muffled sound!Two-face felt a chill down his spine, and his breathing became hurried.Stanley was, after all, a boss with hundr

    “Mark, you useless thing! Other than causing me trouble, what good are you for?” Azazel took a deep drag of his cigarette, a look of ecstasy on his face.“What are you talking about! God! I’m a member of the Hell's Kitchen too! If you’re so great, why don’t you take over as my boss? Don’t think I want to cooperate with you, you maniac!”Feeling belittled by his comrade’s words, Mark was embarrassed.His expertise lay in tracking and disguise; he couldn’t possibly compare to others in actual combat.Without his meticulous planning, how could they have possibly intercepted them on this street!“Are you two done yet?”Elijah slowly walked down from the car, looking at the two men in front of him.“Hey man, are you Elijah?”Azazel put out the cigarette in his hand, and then pulled a photograph from his pocket.“That’s right! It’s you.”After comparing for a moment, he crumpled the photograph into a ball and casually tossed it into the grass by the roadside.As Azazel tossed the photo, a s

    As Azazel spoke, he suddenly lunged forward!His fists crashed down like lightning!Elijah didn’t dodge but met his fists head-on!The tremendous force made both retreat several steps.But neither had any intentions of stopping, both charging forward fiercely!Azazel could stand his ground, his skills were naturally exceptional!At this moment, his lethal moves were frequent, intended to be fatal in one strike!This time, Elijah did not block, but let the other man’s fist slam into his shoulder!“Hmm?”Azazel distinctly felt a massive force at his fist! His punch could shatter boulders, yet his opponent stood still without budging!“In your next life, don’t mess with me!”Taking advantage of the other’s stupor, Elijah’s left hand transformed into a blade, heavily smashing into Azazel’s throat!Crack!As the sound of a throat breaking rang out, Azazel fell slowly with an incredulous look in his eyes.The street was dead silent.Apart from the roaring flames, all that remained was Mark’

    After Elijah kicked the stone statue at the entrance of the Abnomar manor, numerous bodyguards swarmed out to surround him.In particular, the Abnomars were further enraged when they heard Elijah tell Lincoln to get ready for death.“Where did that punk come from? How dare he speak to Mr. Lincoln in such a manner?!”“You’ve destroyed the Abnomars’ symbolic statue and spoke to Mr. Lincoln so rudely. You will die here today!”“Don’t waste your breath on speaking nonsense with him. Capture him and bring him to Mr. Lincoln!”The ten or so bodyguard guards charged at Elijah.But what they thought was an act of bravado was actually extremely poorly executed and unbearable in Elijah’s eyes.Elijah didn’t even look at them, thinking they were lesser than insects.Each time he waved his hand and foot, one person would be flung away forcefully and rendered immobile on the ground.Soon, there were miserable screams from time to time.The bodyguards were all knocked down without even touching the

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Scorpion King

    Standing behind Lincoln, the expert who went by the nickname Scorpion King looked at Elijah, who was nearly finished suppressing all of the bodyguards, with excitement in his eyes from seeing his opponent.“Please rest assured, Mr. Abnomar. Elijah Silva is no match for me! As soon as you give the order, I’ll immediately take him down!” the Scorpion King said arrogantly.Duncan was slightly relieved after hearing Lincoln’s words and the Scorpion King’s confidence.“That’s right. Even if these bodyguards are elites, they’re just bodyguards. Real experts such as the Scorpion King have yet to make a move. What am I worried about?”At this moment, Elijah didn’t even change expression in the slightest after seeing the constant stream of bodyguards surrounding him.They were just small fries to him, and it wouldn’t take much effort for him to deal with them. He thought Lincoln was just being delusional by thinking that they would be able to consume his energy.Back when Elijah carried out a

  • Failed art of seduction

    Celeste blinked her large eyes and looked at Elijah pleadingly, full of expectations.Elijah didn’t mind, and since Celeste didn’t want to go alone, he agreed with a nod. “Okay. I don’t have anything to do later anyway. I’ll accompany you then. I’ll just take it as some post-meal exercise to ease digestion.”After Elijah agreed, Celeste beamed with joy. “Elijah, you’re the best!”The Bloom Hotel was the best five-star hotel in the city.Not only because it was the tallest building but also because of the large open-air swimming pool on the roof, which was an absolute highlight.Admiring the spectacular skyline of the bustling city from the edge of a swimming pool at the highest point of the city while surrounded by buildings that were dozens of meters shorter was definitely an unforgettable experience.Although it was the weekend, it wasn’t a holiday after all.Besides, the rates of the Bloom Hotel were rather expensive, so there weren’t many guests in the hotel at the moment.Apart f

  • Come find me

    Even though she had a mask on, the blood spurted out from the edge of the mask.This time, she was kicked even farther away, and her body slammed against the front of the Rolls-Royce, forming a huge dent in the hard hood. She then rolled onto the ground.She felt as if all her bones had been broken and her internal organs had shifted as pain radiated throughout her body.But she once again forced herself to get up and stumbled toward Elijah. “That… that belongs to me!”Her eyes were staring at the sword in Elijah’s hand, and she was bent on getting it back.A trace of surprise appeared in Elijah’s icy-cold eyes.This person is so persistent.“Give it… back to me!” The masked figure was in so much pain that she could barely even straighten her back. But she nevertheless walked toward Elijah tenaciously and tried her best to speak.Although Elijah was moved by her persistence, he didn’t intend to change his mind. “When you’ve finally figured out the significance of this Dharma Sword and

    Elijah narrowed his eyes slightly.This figure didn’t look tall, and his walking stance and aura seemed extremely oppressive.‘He must be an impressive expert!’ Elijah immediately thought.Celeste suddenly saw a metallic item emitting a glaring and sharp ray of light behind the figure and exclaimed in panic, “Elijah, that man has a weapon in his hand!”This person was walking toward Celeste and Elijah with an unhurried gait.As he approached, Celeste also finally saw a large, thick, heavy, and long sword tied to this man’s back with a leather belt.Celeste gasped in horror because the large long sword was probably as tall as an adult human!It definitely weighed at least dozens of kilograms!A person carrying such a heavy sword on their back in public was a rare sight in today’s society!Celeste was extremely panicked.Elijah suddenly said, “Just wait for me inside the car. Don’t go out.”Then he opened the car door.“Don’t… don’t go out. He has a weapon. It’s too dangerous!” Celeste

  • Another assassination attempt

    Celeste secretly glanced at Elijah twice.Her heart was full of a sweet, warm, and fuzzy feeling, as well as a sense of pride.“Who sent you here? If you don’t come clean, I’ll make sure you regret having ever lived in this world!” Elijah stood in front of them, staring down at them condescendingly with a cold and merciless gaze.Although these killers were engaged in the bloody business of assassinations, with Elijah coldly looking down at them, they immediately felt an intense chill surging from their heads to their toes.But they wouldn’t let Elijah threaten them, so they gritted their teeth and said, “We won’t tell you. Even if we tell you, we’ll die! So if you have the guts to, just kill us now!”Elijah narrowed his eyes.In fact, he knew of more than a hundred ways to torture them and make them feel worse than death.But this matter concerned the Ainsworths after all, so he couldn’t overstep his bounds and intervene.“Miss Ainsworth, are you alright?”“It’s all our fault for com

    Before Elijah could finish speaking, Oliver suddenly interrupted while turning the steering wheel vigorously.There was a loud bang in front.Elijah was driving on the inner lane of a four-lane divided highway.But a black G-Wagon suddenly sped over from the side and crashed into a red Tesla in front of it!After steering the car the other way, Elijah floored the gas pedal and drove straight into the big G-Wagon!“Elijah, you’re crazy!”In the passenger seat, Oliver watched their car collide with the G-Wagon with his eyes wide open!“Hold on to your seatbelt!” Elijah hollered loudly.Just as Oliver subconsciously grabbed his seatbelt, the G-Wagon was right in front of them!The loud sound of a violent collision filled the air!Oliver began to get dizzy from the strong inertia.Fortunately, the airbags in the car popped open in time, securely shielding them in the middle so that neither of them got hurt.But the tall and sturdy G-Wagon was flung far by Elijah’s BYD.The roof of the G-W

  • Elijah, watch out!

    Olivia modestly accepted the compliments, but deep down, she was incredibly smug and was enjoying the praises.But when she heard these people praising Elijah, she felt extremely displeased.In particular, the fact that Elijah had given her parents such expensive gifts, which he had never given her before even though she was his mother-in-law, made her extremely exasperated!Olivia, like the Johnsons, was a fool who failed to recognize valuable items.“Olivia, Alice’s husband seems pretty good!”“Yeah, he doesn’t seem to be as terrible and incompetent as you made him out to be. He gave us such expensive gifts, and most importantly, he’s willing to spend on your parents. He’s really quite a good son-in-law!”A few of them started praising Elijah, and even Mark had a change of attitude.He said to Olivia, “We’re about to have dinner soon, but Oliver and Elijah left because we made them upset just now. Quickly, give him a call and ask them to come back!”Feeling indignant, Olivia deliber

    With that, Cornelius left in his car without waiting for Sir Johnson to ask him to stay.Sir Johnson was dumbfounded for a long time, but he still couldn’t recover from the shock as he continued to stand in the same spot.The Johnsons used to be countryside villagers, and they basically had no family background or assets.They had even asked Olivia for money to build these two villas that they were living in.Usually, they would rejoice for a long time whenever Olivia gave them thousands of dollars.But just a few minutes ago, they actually flushed away a bag of tea leaves worth more than a million dollars into the sewer.Sir Johnson suddenly felt like he was in a dream, as he found it hard to come to terms with the reality that someone had offered so much money for some tea leaves.Sir Johnson thought of something and suddenly turned around to walk to the courtyard.He went up to Alice, who was inside a room of the other villa, and asked anxiously, “Alice, are the tea leaves you gave

  • Wrong judgement

    Derrick got into his car furiously and instructed his chauffeur to start driving away immediately.By the time the Johnsons came out to chase after him, Derrick’s car was already long gone.Cornelius stood rooted to the ground as he carefully recalled what Derrick said.Indeed, Derrick is a tea connoisseur.Since he said those tea leaves are authentic, it should more likely than not be the case.Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered so much money for a lousy bag of tea leaves.If the tea leaves are authentic, the young man who gifted them to Sir Johnson shouldn’t be an ordinary person.But both Sir Johnson and Dahlia called him a good-for-nothing who freeloads off his wife, and they clearly sounded contemptuous just now. They even threw the tea leaves he gave Sir Johnson into the trash.That just goes to show that they detest him a lot.In that case, Derrick is right.The Johnsons are indeed too ignorant and improvident.Sir Johnson walked toward Cornelius and looked at the car in the

  • Ignorance is not bliss!

    Sir Johnson hurriedly said, “Yeah, Mr. Charleston, you’d better put it back, lest it dirties your hand! This bag of tea leaves is a gift from my grandson-in-law, who’s nothing but a freeloader. He even claimed that it was top-grade tea. Hah, he’s just a penniless live-in husband who sponges off his wife. How can he possibly afford to buy such expensive tea leaves? He was just trying to fool me with some lousy goods!... Ah, the sight of this bag of lousy tea leaves really angers me. I don’t even want to talk about him. It’s such a misfortune of our family!”Dahlia hurriedly said, “Grandpa, why are you getting so worked up because of someone like him? Calm down. Don’t let your health be affected!”Then she said to Derrick, “Mr. Charleston, let me help you dispose of the tea leaves.”Dahlia reached out to grab the bag of tea leaves from Derrick.“Hold it!” Derrick suddenly yelled and moved his hand away from Dahlia’s hand.Instead of putting down the bag of tea leaves, he carefully opene
