Jonathan flinched, too scared to dare say another word after the disparaging words from Elijah.

Ignoring the fool, Elijah shifted his attention back to Kelsey who was still finding it hard to grasp the implications of what Elijah was saying.

“I'm contracted to Mr. Suarez.”

“I'm aware.” Elijah calmly remarked. “That contract with be rendered null and void by tomorrow, won't it, Jonathan?”

“Of course,” Jonathan replied his old demeanor of arrogance nowhere to be found at this point.

Kelsey trembled, unable to believe that she would be free just like that.

“Are you going to entrap me?” She asked worriedly while meeting Elijah's gaze.

Elijah shook his head. “No, if you don't wish to keep working here, then I shall settle you with a severance fee and ensure you a settled elsewhere. That is a promise.”

“Why?”

“Because, unlike Jonathan, I am not one to condone corporate slavery.”

Kelsey nearly choked as tears welled up in her eyes.

After so long, she'd be able to live her life.

“So?... What

    Elijah's gut turned out to be right as it didn't take long for August to return with three trolleys. The head chef had decided to cook the meals in their presence, making for a rather intriguing show. His movements were intriguing and the aroma was enough to finally wet Alice's palate, same with Claire. Elijah felt satisfied seeing the girls so eager to devour the food. Finally, the meals were served, one after the other with Alice and Claire eating as they came along. Elijah did the same but not as quickly as them since he wasn't as hungry as they were. Once they had their fill, Elijah ordered the rest to be packaged and given to the less privileged, it wouldn't do to waste food, no matter what. August was more than happy to comply as he did as instructed. With that, the Silva family got back into the car and drove back to the house for some well-deserved rest. Unfortunately, just as they put Claire to bed, Alice got a phone call from her mom, Olivia. “Alice dear,

    The worst part about the current situation was that Johnny wouldn't allow Oliver to leave, as that meant he might be able to escape.“You work for me now,” Johnny remarked. “Either you accept this or you can die here and now. Your choice.”Oliver trembled.“Please, I promise, I'll go and I won't talk. You don't even have to give me the whole money. Just let me go.” Oliver begged but that only amused Johnny and his cronies as they laughed with reckless abandon, mocking him as they did.“Why are you begging me?... I've already given you the options available so stop wasting my time and pick one.” Oliver clasped his hands together. “Please.”Just then, he felt hot metal at the back of his head and immediately he knew.There was a gun and it was aimed directly at him.Oliver trembled. “Please.”“The clock is ticking, make your choice.” At the same time, the gun was cocked and the trigger was about to be pulled.As Oliver closed his eyes, the door was suddenly shattered open, shattering

    They soon arrived outside where the vintage Porsche was parked with Alice waiting.“That's our ride.” Elijah pointed at the Porsche.“Alice, you are here as well?” Oliver inquired.“Mom was worried about you, so much so that she called me to look for you. So, why exactly haven't you returned home in two days?”Oliver grumbled. “She called me useless just because I refused to buy her an expensive bag!... How the hell am I useless?”“Oh gosh.” Alice rolled her eyes, having already expected that the reason for the fight between her parents was surely going to be about money. “Is everything okay?... You look worried.” Alice inquired, noting that something was off about the current situation.Elijah replied. “Now is hardly the time for conversation, get in.”Once everyone got in, Oliver inquired. “How in God's name do you have a limited edition Porsche?” “Didn't I say this is no time for conversation?” Elijah shot back as he started the engine and immediately drove away.He was worried t

    Then, he cracked his knuckles as the scarf around his neck wiggled. “Thankfully, I mean business as well.”Those occupying the vehicles, on seeing him, didn't hesitate to open fire but Elijah utilized his spiritual energy like a shield.At the same time, a system notification appeared.[Mission generated][Mission; One man Army][Reward; +1000 Spirit Points]By the time the goons understood what was happening, half of their ammo supplies had already been spent.None could speak as they stared in utter disbelief at the invisible shield that had somehow managed to defend against their weapons.“Are you done?” Elijah inquired as he retracted the spiritual energy, transforming it from a cloak to a body of armor.He approached them with measured steps, almost like it was a walk in the park.“I warned your boss that he would pay even more should he come after me. I guess he thought I was bluffing.” Elijah remarked.The goons trembled in Elijah's presence, unsure of what to make of the monst

    Once inside, Elijah explained what happened, heavily embellishing the story to avoid letting them know that he was a real-life superhuman.Still, his feat of taking on Johnny's men and surviving was enough to earn the respect of everyone present as they stared at him like a superhero.Even Olivia, who would never admit to him being anything better than a useless fool, had to accept that her son-in-law was useful in some ways.Meanwhile, Alice finally understood the situation, making her feel rather complicated about the whole thing.On one hand, she couldn't deny that the experience had been nothing short of exhilarating but on the other hand, the life of her husband had been at risk.A minute mistake and he would have died.Was this the daily life of Elijah Silva?...

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Darius Smith

    Once the Smith family convoy arrived at the Minister villa, which was a large estate, the sound of drums accompanied by several firecrackers could be heard, serving as a preliminary celebration of the White Tiger King.Several journalists were present, taking pictures while interviewing those in attendance. Currently, a few prominent figures were gathered and were chatting among themselves.Once Darius got out of his car, he didn't hesitate to go over as he knew this was his opportunity to make connections with the right people.As even more people poured in, Darius greeted each one and made sure to speak just as his father had instructed.He needed to make sure that at the end of the event, the Smith family would have entrenched itself among those present.Just as he paused briefly to catch his breath, he noticed a black limo making its entrance as well.He furrowed his brows as he wondered who it was, only for the doors to open and for two familiar faces to reveal themselves, causi

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Apologies, Mr. Silva

    Just as the lieutenant finished talking, Darius raised his hand and pointed at Elijah. “Hello sir, my name is Darius Smith, a member of the illustrious Smith family, and I suspect that this man, who goes by the name Elijah Silva, is, in fact, an uninvited guest at this occasion, one that seemed to have snuck in through some illegal means. I ask that he be chased out to not ruin the sanctity of the occasion.”The lieutenant frowned at this juncture as he was one of those who had helped with the preparations for the event. The succession ceremony of the White Tiger King was a major incident, one that all key military personnel from around the country were required to attend. It wasn't the sort of place where just anybody could be let in and was surely not a place that an uninvited guest would waltz into.He didn't want anything that would ruin the event so, he glanced at Elijah, quickly scrutinizing the fellow.Unfortunately, he didn't recognize Elijah as a great figure, after all, th

  • 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

  • Give it back!

    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

  • You can try!

    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

  • Authentic gifts

    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
