“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
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
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
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,
Alice emerged from the shower after a while wearing a white slip dress which showed off her smooth neck and arms.In the past, she would have never dared to wear such a thing but now, she was in a good mood, enjoying her perfect new skin.Just then, she saw Elijah seated on the couch, smoking while staring at nothing in particular causing her to pause.Taking a deep breath, she walked over and sat down next to him.Silence followed for a few seconds before she finally spoke up. “She's your daughter.”Elijah paused his smoking, his eyes flickering with emotions before he asked. “When did it happen?”“Before the fire incident. You remember that night well, don't you?”Elijah gave no response but he remembered almost like it was yesterday.Alice had just closed a major deal that would bring in several million for Wesen Corporation, and so she threw a party to celebrate.Surprisingly, she had invited Elijah along with her other friends.They'd gotten drunk and everyone was out of it.Elij
Before Alice could mount a protest, Olivia dragged her away to the family sitting room where most of the Wesen family members were gathered.Elijah didn't think much of her actions as he followed closely behind. Alice looked back at him helplessly with Elijah assuring her that everything would be alright.Since he'd said he would always be with her, who would dare to separate them?... Not even the gods would dare to do so.In any case, upon their arrival at the family sitting room, everyone looked in disbelief at the beautiful girl next to Olivia after the latter had introduced her as Alice.How could she be Alice?Alice the beast, Alice the monster… that same Alice?What on earth happened?... How could she have undergone such a terrifying transformation in such a short time?“Alice, is it you?”“Did you undergo plastic surgery?... Has technology advanced to such an extent already!?”No one could believe that the woman they had mocked for ten years had somehow managed to become the m
Utilizing his Spirit energy to cloak the car, ensuring that it was as strong as an armored tank, Elijah bulldozed his way through the Minister's villa gates and made his way into the empty street outside.Meanwhile, his heroics weren't left unseen by the soldiers protecting the villa as they stared in utter disbelief at what they could only describe as a miracle.None could explain how Elijah had managed to defeat the terrorists blockading the gate and that caused them to feel even more awe for him. “Who was that?”“I have no idea.”“Maybe that's the White Tiger King?”Thomas snorted. “Think again, that's the King of the North!”At the same time, the reporters in the helicopter caught the incident on camera.[Oh my gosh, Breaking news; is Crystal Falls seeing the rise of a hero?... Attackers that proved difficult for law enforcement to defeat have been taken down by one man who is now en route toward an uncertain destination. Just what is going on and is this a sign of good things to
Up above the Minister's villa, a reporter helicopter hovered just out of sight as those within reported the situation in the area[Breaking news: The Minister's villa is under attack by terrorists, with several dignitaries put in harm's way. Though still no demands have been made, the terrorists have unleashed firearms on the people trapped in the building, giving them little opportunity to escape. So far, law enforcement has done little to repel the invaders though they have succeeded in disarming bombs that the terrorists had planned to use to threaten those in the Minister's villa. With little idea of how things are going to proceed, we can only hope that Crystal Falls survives this disaster]Meanwhile, on the ground, the dignitaries and men of substance who were forced to stay in the Minister's villa began to complain."How long do we have to wait here?... What if those terrorists get tired of waiting and attack us?... Some are still even in the building right now!""What is the g
Lucas glanced at the White Tiger King, expecting him to come to his aid but imagine his surprise when that didn't happen as instead, the White Tiger King let out a resigned sigh before settling back into his chair.He was going to do as Elijah instructed and rest, which meant he was on his own.Just what was the meaning of this?Gritting his teeth, Lucas glared at Elijah before suddenly, a smile blossomed on his lips.The next instant, he began to laugh, his demeanor changing as his aura shifted from serene to terrifying.The White Tiger King reacted almost instantaneously as he recognized the aura to be similar to the Ghoul King.“It broke my heart to crush his ego, but I had no choice; he turned out to be a bit too useless.” Lucas suddenly said his tone of speaking was completely different from before.“What's the meaning of this?” The White Tiger King questioned with Elijah speaking up.“You never won against the Ghoul King, White; all you did was destroy his body, but considering
“That's quite the interesting evaluation.” Elijah calmly said as he moved to sit with the White Tiger King.The White Tiger King chuckled and was just about to speak when he began to cough incessantly, causing his expression to turn pale as he heaved and huffed.Lucas immediately got to his feet and methodically, pulled out a vial filled with blue liquid from his pocket before administering it to the General.A few minutes passed before the White Tiger King regained himself, his breathing steadying as his complexion got slightly healthier.Of course, this didn't mean he was completely healed as his previous energetic demeanor was gone, replaced with apparent fatigue.“How do you feel?” Elijah asked.The White Tiger King replied in a hoarse tone. “Terrible.”It was clear that he regretted having to retire after everything he had experienced in his life.“As it is, I can only hope that I get a few more years of life before this injury claims my life.”“Don't worry, you'll be fine,” Elij
“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 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
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
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
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
