2024-11-07 23:03:41“Claire,” Elijah muttered as he walked back to where Thomas stood with the little girl.
Thomas didn't hesitate to hand her over with Elijah instinctively cradling like she was his child. He didn't know why but he felt like she was his kin, like his blood flowed through her veins. Even as he was a God of Slaughter and a King of War, in this moment, he found himself unable to breathe properly. Holding her tightly, almost like he was scared that she'd fall from his embrace, he muttered. “I didn't come on time. Forgive me.” After what felt like a long while, Claire woke up. “Sir.” She called out as she reached out and wiped away Elijah's tears. “Are you my dad?... But mommy said that my dad is dead, that he died on the battlefield protecting the country.” Elijah's lips quivered as he didn't know how to respond. As it was, he had so many questions so he thought it best to wait until he returned home and had a conversation with Alice. Only then would he be able to resolve the knots in his chest? Just as he was about to say something, a thunderous roar interrupted his train of thought. “How daring!” Elijah’s expression shifted as he turned to look in the direction of the person who had decided to be a bit too daring, ruining the moment. It seemed those from the audience who had run away didn't like the fact that they were spared and, instead, dared to come back with help to deal with Elijah, pointing fingers in his direction. Over a dozen security guards who worked at the Blood Cage quickly surrounded the arena while carrying cold weapons. Elijah maintained a sense of calm, even going ahead to assure Claire that everything was okay as she had begun to panic. Thomas on the other hand, didn't even bother hiding his killing intent, standing next to his brother while glaring at the fools that didn't know what was good for them. The head of the security guards snarled at Elijah. “Do you even know where you are?... How dare you cause trouble in the Blood Cage?... Do you think you can just come in here and do as you please?... Insolence!... You'd best get down on your knees and beg for mercy, else, you can forget about…” The man wasn't able to complete his threat as he screamed out in pain. Elijah didn't even need to move as Thomas sprinted into the group of security guards, sending them all flying in a few moves. The men didn't even get a chance to fight back as Thomas struck them down, leaving them bleeding profusely and suffering from broken bones on the ground. Chaos instantly erupted in the arena as Thomas continued his reign of terror while Elijah ignored the chaos around him, even shielding Claire's eyes so she wouldn't see something she shouldn't while walking toward the shattered main gate of the cage. It didn't take long before Thomas joined him outside the arena, having dealt with the troublesome elements within. Just then, Elijah got a notification causing his expression to shift. [Code Red!] [Mission Generated] [Mission: A life at stake] [Reward: 1000 Spirit Points] Before he could figure out why the system had sent a code Red, he got a call from the driver that he charged to protect Alice. “Boss, there's trouble.” “What is it?” “I tried my best but I couldn't protect Miss Alice.” “Speak clearly, what happened?” The driver quickly explained everything causing Elijah's expression to shift. On the way back to his home, Alice and the driver were attacked by gunmen and if not for the driver's quick thinking, they would have died. Unfortunately, a stray bullet had struck Alice and now she was in a critical state. The driver had managed to take her to the hospital where Alice was familiar with a doctor who was also one of the few friends she had but now, the hospital was refusing to allow the doctor to treat Alice. As it was, Alice's life was hanging by a thread and the driver couldn't do anything about it as he was currently being hounded by strange men. Gritting his teeth, Elijah bellowed. “Mr. Leroy!... You have gone too far!... If this feud between us isn't settled by blood, then call me a bastard!” Saying those words, Elijah handed Claire over to Thomas, charging him to protect her with his life before hurrying over to the hospital to save Alice. *** Meanwhile, at CarlCare hospital located in the middle-class area of Crystal Falls, a group of black-suited guards burst into a hospital room, forcefully dragging out the doctor that was attending to Alice, hoping to pull her out of the condition she was in, which was close to death. The doctor, whose name was Madison, was a close friend of Alice, and even though the hospital had threatened her not to attend to Alice, else she'd lose her job, she couldn't just sit back and watch Alice die when she'd done nothing wrong. Unfortunately, it seemed the powers that wished to see Alice suffer had come to stop her by force. Madison's distress was evident as she desperately exclaimed. “Who are you?... Why are you stopping me from saving a life?... That woman's life is hanging by a thread!” Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed through the corridor outside the emergency room. It didn't take long for the owner of the footsteps to arrive, revealing himself to be Mr. Aiden Leroy, the same man that Alice had rejected earlier in the day.

Dressed in an impeccably black suit, Aiden smirked as he remarked. “Well, well, quite unfortunate, don't you think so?... I did warn you that I'd teach you a lesson. Since you dared to reject me, then you can forget about seeing the end of today, and as for your family, they don't care if you live or die; they just want you gone. As a replacement, your sister seems to be smarter than you, picking the obvious choice.” Though Alice was currently in a coma, a tear slid down her cheek, causing her to appear even more pathetic. Madison glared at Aiden before suddenly lunging at him and grabbing hold of his collar. “You bastard, it was you that put Alice in this condition!... How could you!... Why would you do such a thing?... Hasn't she suffered enough already?” Her cries quickly turned into uncontrollable wails as tears streamed down her cheeks while she pounded her fist against Aiden's chest.

“Alice!” Elijah exclaimed as he raced into the hospital without a single care in the world, exuding a chilling sensation that spread throughout the entire hospital, engulfing everyone in its powerful presence. He arrived at the entrance of the emergency room only to lay eyes on Alice's fragile body, covered in sweat and struggling to breathe. His heart shattered as he witnessed such a heart wrenching sight, leaving him choked. “Elijah… I'm sorry.” Alice muttered in a hoarse tone, barely holding on to life as she made eye contact with Elijah who was standing at the doorway. Tears flowed down his face, revealing the weight of the sorrow he felt. Alice asked. “Is Claire safe?” “Yes.” “Good.” She said with a smile. “That's very good.” As she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes, and the next moment, the heart monitor emitted a long, steady beep. “No!!!” Elijah let out an angry roar, exuding hostility before fearlessly charging forward to confront the henchmen bl

“You are in charge while I'm gone, understood?” Elijah remarked, entrusting the safety of the house to the driver and the Dragon Legion regiment that was stationed in the villa.“Yes, Commander.”Satisfied with the response, Elijah gestured for Thomas to follow him with the latter quickly doing so.However, just as they got to the entrance, a commotion erupted outside.Dozens of black armored vehicles surrounded the area, cutting off all routes in and out of the villa while a helicopter hovered overhead.Several special unit operatives hurried out of the vehicles, fully armed and seemingly prepared for battle.Then a thunderous voice reverberated through the villa with the aid of a microphone.“Listen up, this is Dick Grayson of the Delta Special Forces Division in Crystal Falls and I am issuing an arrest for everyone in this villa for deliberate infliction of harm upon others. Drop your weapons and surrender, or else we would not hesitate to open fire!”Thomas raised a brow as he inq

Aiden kicked the table over, causing the drinks to spill all over the floor, before angrily pointing at Madison. “You bitch, you dare to avoid me!?... Consider yourself lucky that I'm interested in you but don't think I won't handle you roughly if you push me too far!... Let me tell you, if you don't serve me well and make me happy, I'll make sure you never see another sunrise!”Then, he bent down and grabbed her neck, staring at her tear-stained face. “I hope you are listening closely!... With just a phone call, your friend is going to join her ancestors in the afterlife so you'd better behave yourself, understood?”“No, please, Mr. Leroy, just leave Alice alone. She's already suffered enough. I'm begging you.” Madison begged Aiden as she was on her knees with tears streaming down her cheeks.Feeling utterly helpless, she hoped that someone would come to her aid, rescuing her from the claws of the beast standing before her.Just then, Alice's sister, Bianca, the same one that had rep

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
The Almighty God of War Returns The third option
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
The Almighty God of War Returns Seven days
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
The Almighty God of War Returns Smooth and unblemished
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,

On his toes
Although Julio was baffled as to why the Abnomars forbade them from dealing with Elijah even after Sir Walter’s death and even seemed to have the intention of letting him off, he had no choice but to obey Marc’s orders and quickly agreed, “Yes, Mister Abnomar!”After leaving the Hernandezs’ manor, Marc raised his head to look into the distant sky with a vicious gaze in his eyes. “Hmph, Elijah Silva, I’ll let you live for a few more days. Soon, you will die without a grave!”Soon, the news of Diego’s death spread throughout Crystal Falls.The Hernandezs merely told everyone that Diego had died because of a sudden cardiac arrest resulting from the shock of the tragic death of his grandson Liam.But only ordinary people would be fooled by this explanation.The people of the top families all found his death to be very bizarre.After all, even though Diego was almost 70 years old, he had always been in good health and had never suffered from any heart disease.So they found it unlikely tha
Do you hear me?
Lincoln glanced at Diego and warned with a sinister expression, “I said, I want to hear the truth! Don’t make me repeat myself!”Diego suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and large sweat droplets trickled down his wrinkled face.Various thoughts flashed through Diego’s mind as he quickly tried to think of what to say.But Lincoln’s patience was wearing thin. He pulled out a pistol and started fiddling with it.Seeing that the situation was turning awry, Diego could no longer worry about anything else. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Abnomar, actually, last night…”The loud and sudden gunshot startled everyone.Before Diego could finish his sentence, his expression stiffened and would remain that way forever.A bloody hole had appeared in his forehead, and blood was still gushing out of it.Immediately afterward, his old and frail body weakened completely, and he collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud.This scene made everyone in the guest hall fall silent, and only the sounds of their hea
It's settled
At this moment, Ricardo inched close to Diego and said eagerly, “Dad, you can’t let him off! Otherwise, the Abnomars will definitely hold us responsible. When the time comes, none of us will be able to escape!... I don’t believe that there’s really someone in this world who isn’t afraid of getting shot by guns! He must be lying and boasting just to scare us. Any one of us here can fire several bullets through his body! Even if we can’t kill on the spot, he will definitely sustain injuries. Even if he can fly, he won’t be able to escape our premises!... I don’t believe that he can really hurt you! There are so many bodyguards in front of you to protect you. No matter what, he can’t do anything to you!”Diego quickly thought about his words and nodded lightly.But at this moment, Alec suddenly stomped his foot against the ground and began moving!“Shoot!” Diego immediately yelled, his heart skipping a beat.But humans are not machines after all.From the moment they received Diego’s com
Stuck in a dilemma
Alec turned the dagger in his hand and shook off the last bit of blood remaining on it.Then he turned around to look at the Hernandez family, who were dumbstruck and rooted to the ground at the entrance of the villa.“Those who dare to provoke him will suffer a miserable fate!” After saying this coldly, he walked toward the entrance.But when he was a few meters away from the entrance, Diego snapped back to his senses as though he had just woken up from a dream and yelled, “Men, get ready!”With his order, the dozen or so gunmen who had just hurriedly assembled immediately raised their pistols and aimed them at Alec’s head.Alec stopped in his tracks and turned around to glare at Diego hostilely. “This isn’t the first time in my life that I’ve been held at gunpoint by so many men, yet I’m still alive and kicking today. Do you have any idea why?”Diego’s face twitched violently.Alec said, “Because those who’ve had the guts to threaten me with a gun were all killed by me!”As Alec sai
Dead silent
The Hernandez family members stood outside the villa, not daring to get too close, though they heard the conversation between Sir Walter and Alec.“It seems this person should be Sir Walter’s enemy. He barged into our manor today because he wanted to deal with Sir Walter! Thank God…” Ricardo hurriedly patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.Although he didn’t finish the rest of his sentence, all the Hernandez family members understood what he meant.Naturally, Ricardo was thankful to find out that this man wasn’t after the Hernandez family.But Diego wasn’t that optimistic.Sir Walter was a top expert who worked for the Abnomars and whom the Hernandez family had requested to help them, making him an honored guest of the Hernandez family.Regardless of whether the man in front of them was Sir Walter’s enemy and here to take revenge, the Hernandez family couldn’t stay out of it completely.Otherwise, if something unfortunate happened to Sir Walter in the Hernandez family manor, th
You don't need to know
“What?!” Diego’s expression drastically changed while the other Hernandez' were astounded too.Sir Walter was an elite expert the Abnomars had sent, and ordinary people couldn’t get close to him.Besides, he was now a distinguished guest of the Hernandez' and was in a foul mood because of his apprentice’s death.Which audacious person was so brazen that he charged into Sir Walter’s villa?“Bastard, this is outrageous! How dare he barge into Sir Walter’s villa? He must be tired of living!” Diego hollered in exasperation.But since the matter occurred in the Hernandez'’ manor, they would have to take a look at the situation as the hosts and placate Sir Walter at the same time.To show their respect for Sir Walter, the expert working for the Abnomars, the Hernandez' had specifically arranged for Sir Walter to stay in the villa beside Diego’s, which was in the middle of the manor.As soon as Diego led the Hernandez out of the villa, they saw an enormous hole because the thick alloy door h
An unusual clamor
“Dad, do you think there’s something wrong with Sir Walter? His apprentice was killed by Elijah Silva, yet all he’s doing is throwing a tantrum in our place. Why doesn’t he go take revenge on Elijah Silva himself? I doubt those killers he sent will be able to do anything!” Diego’s younger son, Julio Hernandez, asked impatiently.He was the one who had suggested that they join forces with the Abnomars and ask them to send an expert to deal with Elijah.But he didn’t know how powerful Sir Walter was, though he knew that Sir Walter loved putting on airs all the time.Besides, he was clearly the one who had put forward the suggestion, yet Diego sent his brother, Ricardo, to host Sir Walter instead.So Julio had been extremely displeased, feeling that his brother had taken all the credit from him again.Diego’s face darkened, and he said sternly, “Shut up! You should never say such things again! If Sir Walter hears you, even I won’t be able to protect you! Also, if you offend him and end u
Kill order
The killer hurriedly said, “The Hernandez family requested Sir Walter to send his apprentice to assassinate Mr. Silva, but he ended up getting killed by Mr. Silva instead. That’s why Sir Walter was furious and sent us to kidnap Mr. Silva and then take him to the Hernandez' to be at their disposal!”When Alec heard this, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified, and his gaze became extremely terrifying.“In that case, is Sir Walter in the Hernandez'’ manor now?”“Y-yes!”“We’re just following orders. We don’t have any personal feud with Mr. Silva. Please…”In the dim corner, several shrieks filled the air one after another, but before long, silence returned.Soon, Alec and Leo composedly walked out of the corner and left as if nothing had happened.At this time, Elijah just arrived back in the lake villa and heard a text message alert.He opened his phone and saw the text Alec sent.“Those killers were sent by Sir Walter, who works for the Abnomars, to avenge his dead apprentice. H
The sound of the wind
Elijah immediately thought of the Hernandez' and the Abnomars.After all, he had killed Jamie Hernandez, and just three hours ago, he had killed the killer sent by the Abnormars.They definitely wouldn’t give up just like that.Elijah was certain that they would continue to send more people to avenge them.He didn’t move and continued to stroll casually with Alice and Claire as if he wasn’t aware of their presence.But two familiar figures suddenly appeared beside Elijah.After secretly nodding at him, they walked away like ordinary passersby.They were none other than Alec and Leo, members of the Thirteen Warriors, commanders who were the most loyal to Elijah.At this time, it was almost two hours to midnight.There were few pedestrians on the streets downtown now, and the streets were gradually becoming empty.A killer tailing them tried to restrain his aura and hid behind a large garbage can outside a store.While watching Elijah and the others, he tried to change his position agai
