Elijah didn't plan on killing David immediately as he took him instead to a torture room where he planned to teach the bastard a good lesson before finally ending his pathetic life.

In the meantime, Alice was still recovering in the hospital, same with Claire.

A contingent of the Dragon Legion patrolled the hospital to ensure that the two most important people in Elijah's life remained protected from all forms of danger.

Lord Wesen had tried a few times to reach out to Elijah but the latter ignored the calls, leaving the head of the Wesen family no choice but to accept his fate.

Recalling how mad Elijah had been when he came to the house, Lord Wesen didn't dare to think that there was a way to save David.

If only that foolish boy had been more careful.

Now, he only had himself to blame.

***

Elijah headed to the hospital later in the evening after dealing with David.

Upon his arrival, he was met with some good news.

Alice was awake and was currently tending to Claire in her ward.

    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?... She dreaded the thought that he would one day go out and never return.Gulping nervously, she stared at Elijah who met her gaze with a warm smile, bringing calm to her nerves.“Will you be staying for dinner?” Olivia ask

  • 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

    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

    “Thank you, sir.” The lieutenant replied, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.Just then, Darius finally found the courage to speak up. “How can this be?... This man is an uninvited guest, how can you treat him as an important personnel?”Instead of a response, the lieutenant approached him before proceeding to dish out a hard and tight slap to his face, sending Darius crashing to the ground. As if that wasn't enough, the lieutenant ordered his subordinates to throw Darius out.“Yes sir!”Two soldiers approached and lifted Darius off the ground.Darius didn't even get a chance to say anything as he was dragged away like a dog, humiliating him in the presence of everyone.By now, the available journalists began to speculate Elijah's identity, after all, he needed to be a great figure to be treated in such a manner by the subordinate of the White Tiger King.Meanwhile, Elijah was escorted by the lieutenant personally to meet with the White Tiger King, leaving behind the other gues

    Just as Elijah was about to start brainstorming ways to handle the current situation, the gatekeeper rushed inside with an ashen face. “Sir, Special Forces are at the door. They are here for you.”Before Elijah could say anything, several more people rushed inside, with most wearing standard uniforms and carrying military-issued artillery.Following that, a middle-aged man walked inside with an imposing aura.Elijah was immediately able to tell that the man was a cultivator judging from the energy about him. “You must be Elijah Silva.” The man began. “I am Captain Martinez and I am placing you under arrest. Do not resist as my men and I are allowed to use maximum force.”“No, you can't take him!” Alice cried out as she rushed to stand in front of Elijah, shielding him from Captain Martinez and his subordinates.“Miss, I advise you not to impede our actions as doing so makes you a criminal in our eyes.” Captain Martinez remarked coldly, taking a step further as he did so.Despite his

    Breaking news

    Elijah did not enjoy being overly violent once his opponent accepted defeat. Which was why he praised Timothy for being wise enough to take a step back when needed. There was no reason to send him to the hospital though Elijah thought him deserving of it. Regardless, it was fine as long as the fool understood the error of his ways. Timothy sold his shares without hesitation after which he was dragged out of the building along with his subordinates. It was humiliating for him but did he dare to fight against it?... Of course not. The fear of Elijah was the beginning of wisdom and he didn't dare to think that he would come out victorious should he remain stubborn. Once Timothy was gone, the reception erupted in applause as everyone praised Elijah for standing up for Maria. None of them liked Timothy but were too scared to reveal their dislike due to him being more powerful than them. However, seeing that their boss was a man willing to stand up for them, naturally, the

    “You want to do this?” Elijah inquired.Timothy sneered. “Are you feeling regret now?... In the world, only those with power have the right to play the hero. An insignificant fool like yourself would only end up with bruises when you overstep your boundaries.”“Is that so?”“Don't worry, I'm teaching you a valuable lesson,” Timothy remarked scornfully before adding as he grabbed Elijah's shoulder aggressively. “Now kneel or suffer the consequences of going against me.”“Alright, that's enough.” Elijah formed a fist and punched Timothy in the face, catching him completely off guard.The other guards moved to restrain him but it was quick work to send them flying, making it look like they were children challenging a grown man.Snorting derisively, Elijah walked up to Timothy who was now staring at him with fear in his eyes.“So, you were saying something about teaching me a lesson. I don't think I've learned anything yet.” Elijah taunted causing Timothy to grit his teeth.“You bastard!.

    Thankfully, Theresa was a good manager and all he needed to do was support her.“Yes. Unfortunately, not all the executives made an appearance but it doesn't matter. They'd get a memo.”“In that case, I'll be taking my leave then.”“Alright, sir.”With that, Elijah swiftly made his way to the first floor of the building.Meanwhile, outside the building, a convoy drove into the car park.As the cars parked, men in suits stepped down before rushing to the car at the center of the convoy.Opening the door, a man wearing a red suit with a condescending air about him got out.He was wearing a pair of sunshades which he took off before making his way into the building.The man in the red suit, made his way to the building entrance accompanied by his entourage, causing the security at the door to immediately move out of the way, unnerved by his approach.The suited man sneered as he pushed the doors and stepped inside.Meanwhile, inside the building, two employees having just left the confer

    By the time Thomas had broken two more fingers, Harrison could no longer take any more of the pain as he gasped for air while pleading for mercy. “Please stop, I'll tell you everything, just stop!”Hearing this, Elijah gestured for Thomas to stay his hand as he replied. “Go ahead and don't even try to make things any worse for yourself, else you can forget getting any form of mercy from me.”Harrison was thoroughly frightened by Elijah so he didn't hesitate to spill his guts. “It's Larry Higgins, he's the one that instigated me to accuse you and Theresa.”Elijah frowned as he immediately recognized the surname.The Higgins were the same family based in the capital that had taken in the Leroy family survivors.They also shared a strange relationship with the Augustus family with Elijah guessing that they were subservient to them. “Why did he tell you to do that?” “To tarnish your reputation as well as Theresa's own as well so the both of you won't be able to perfectly lead the compan

    Break a finger

    Before Harrison could even offer a response, Elijah bellowed. “Thomas!”Elijah hadn't planned to act violently towards employees of his mother's company; after all, they were like family to him, but at this juncture, he had no choice.With what was at stake, he had to do what was needed as he emitted a terrifying aura that caused everyone to back away in fright.Thomas walked in at that moment, accompanied by two other subordinates who immediately apprehended Harrison, pinning him down like a criminal with the latter struggling to no avail. “What are you doing right now?... How can you do this?... I am an executive at this company and I demand to be treated with respect!” Harrison said in a panic while still struggling.Unfortunately, Thomas didn't even act like he heard him as he handcuffed him and then kept him down.Realizing that Thomas wasn't going to let him go, Harrison tried to appeal to Elijah. “Mr. Silva, what is the meaning of this?... We are in a civilized society yet you

    Harrison's dirty scheme

    As the atmosphere in the conference hall turned quite tense with everyone swayed by Harrison's perfectly crafted scheme, Theresa spoke up in a bid to defend herself from the horrible accusations levied against her.“These documents are fake. I and Mister Silva are innocent of the crimes you are accusing us of!” Theresa remarked, tearing apart the documents she was holding. She had given up everything while working for Atlas, doing her best to ensure that it didn't fall under her leadership.This was precisely because the former owner, Elijah’s now-deceased mother, was the reason she had managed to finish business school.She had paid for Theresa's fees and promised her a job at the company if she did well in her studies.That was at a time when Theresa was all alone in the world, contemplating suicide.She was saved and she had sworn on that day to pay back what had been done for her a thousandfold.This was why even when it seemed as though Atlas was on its way to falling apart, she

    Wait!

    After noticing the change in everyone's expression, Theresa spoke up. “Elijah Silva’s outstanding resume is the reason I accepted his offer to purchase the controlling shares of our company. He may be unknown but it remains that he is competent enough!”At this juncture, even if they didn't want to accept the change, the executives had no choice in the matter.The record of this Elijah fellow was just too solid to fault.“Now then, with the appearance of a new owner, there are bound to be some changes,” Theresa said. “The first change is that Atlas will no longer be connected to the Augustus family.”“What?”“This is unwise!”“The Augustus family is the reason we are where we are today.”The executives quickly protested, expressing their views but Theresa wasn't even moved as she replied.“This is the decision of the new owner and if you don't like it, take it up with him. However, I must warn you. Due to his exploits in the North, he is a close friend of the King of the North, so it

    “Also, you can go ahead and announce that the ownership of the company is in the hands of another but as I said, don't disclose my identity. Also, considering we have kicked out the Vergara family, I believe it's only right we find a replacement so announce that there would be an auction to take up the projects that the Vergara family have left unfinished.” “Understood.”Satisfied with her response, Elijah could only wait to see how things would turn out in the coming days.The next day, Theresa released the announcements according to Elijah's arrangements, and immediately, the entirety of Crystal Falls exploded with discussions as everyone began to talk about it.***Due to Theresa's announcement, a meeting was organized to take place in the conference hall of Atlas.“Okay, that's all for today's report. All departments should continue to work hard, and I'd like to announce that we will be ditching our earlier plans to fire some workers due to a deficit, and instead, we shall be hir
