The Almighty God of War Returns A chance to prove one's self
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
The Almighty God of War Returns A challenge
“A chance?” George sneered. “Elijah Silva, according to our information, you are an orphan with nothing to your name. Just because you spent some time in the military, you think you are worthy of Alice?... Well, reality check, Alice is way out of your league!” George disliked Elijah from the start. He was a mere retired soldier in any case with no power of money to his name, what was he so arrogant for? “That's enough, George.” Mr. Wesen intoned. “You want me to give you a chance?” “Yes.” Elijah nodded. “Fine then, have you heard of Gold Lake Group?... We have always wanted to work with them, but we've never managed it, and a relationship with them is one of the reasons we wanted Alice to marry Aiden. If you could make it work, then I'd be more than happy to acknowledge you as a part of the family.” As it was, Mr. Wesen didn't think Elijah would be able to close such a deal and only made up this challenge to make things difficult for him, hopeful that he would give up. He a
The Almighty God of War Returns Paying homage
Gilbert understood that the War God was no ordinary man and, therefore, commanded the highest level of respect due to the important position he held in the nation. Just by being close to him, Gilbert felt like a single mistake would cost him, so he didn't dare to misbehave as he waited for Elijah to respond to his greeting. “Gilbert Strong?” Elijah muttered as he put down the documents he was holding. He glanced at Gilbert as he was kneeling on the ground, prompting him to let out a sigh. “We don't do that here.” “Sir?” “Stand up.” “Yes sir.” Gilbert didn't hesitate to do as instructed, quickly rising to his feet, and even though he was sweating profusely, he did not attempt to wipe the sweat. Trembling in fear, he wondered if he had made some sort of catastrophic mistake to earn the attention of the most powerful man in the nation apart from the Emperor. Ignoring Gilbert’s tense state, Elijah remarked. “Tomorrow, my wife Alice Wesen will be visiting your company t
The Almighty God of War Returns End of the Road
“This is a bottle of Kobo wine worth a million dollars and it's from the Lincolns. They are wishing Mr. Roland a happy birthday and many happy returns.”“The Sloans present a painting, the Monarch of Nightfall by Alexander Regulus, worth ten million and they wish the entire family even more wealth.”“The Khans have gifted Mr. Roland a limited edition watch from Rolex worth five million dollars.”At the main entrance, a lady held a microphone in her hand, enthusiastically announcing the gifts that the guests had brought for everyone in attendance to hear.In the foyer, Mr. Roland, old as he was, was dressed in a blue suit causing him to look fit and alert.He had a big smile on his face as he heard the value of the gifts he was getting.It went to show that those in attendance were not minor characters at all.Surprisingly, even the Wesen family had been invited with the family head, Mr. Wesen pulling out all the stops and spending a small fortune to get a gift for Mr. Roland just to g
The Almighty God of War Returns The Leroy family response
Before Mr. Roland could respond to Elijah’s words, the latter moved, quickly appearing behind the Roland family head.“Good riddance,” Elijah muttered, and the next moment, blood spurted out, and Mr. Roland's head fell to the ground with a dull thud.Everyone screamed at the sight, unable to believe that Mr. Roland had been killed just like that.But perhaps the most shocked were members of the Roland family as they watched as the man who had led their family for so long died just like that.Taking out a black bag, Elijah picked up the head and left shortly after, leaving behind a silent villa and traumatized guests.[Mission completed][1000 Spirit Points rewarded][Note: Vengeance is served]In the meantime, Mr. Roland's headless corpse remained motionless in the foyer. ***The Leroy residence was in an uproar as Charles finally got a chance to inform the head of the Leroy family and Aiden's father about the incident between Aiden and Elijah.In response, the head of the Leroy fami
The Almighty God of War Returns The Roland family mourns
At his mother's grave, Elijah leaned the black bag against the tombstone, took a flask out, and then drank a mouthful from it, then poured the rest of it in front of the grave.“Mom, you don't have to worry. Your son is doing well for himself. Can you imagine?... That weak boy who couldn't protect himself is now being called the King of the North.” As he spoke, he let out a melancholic laugh. “Also, you have a granddaughter. I'm sure you'd have liked her if you were still here. But it's fine. Don't worry, I'll make sure to bring her up in a way you'd have liked. I'm sorry I wasted so much time before I returned… I hope you can forgive me. Rest well, I promise, those that kicked us out all those years ago will pay for their sins.”After that, he got up and left.Meanwhile, in the Roland family villa, everyone had left not too long after Elijah's departure. Naturally, they were too scared to remain, worried that since even Mr. Roland wasn't safe in the Roland family villa, who were th
The Almighty God of War Returns Arrival at Gold Lake
Elijah smiled as he replied. “See what I said, as long as we don't look at things negatively, there's always going to be a way around obstacles.”“I know, I know, I should never have underestimated us.”“Exactly. Now then, please tell me you are prepared, meetings and I don't match at all.”Alice chuckled in amusement. “Don't worry, I've got you covered.” As it was, Alice felt lucky that Elijah was hers and she wished to prove her capability to him.She wanted to show him that even though she's been a laughing stock for years, she kept up with her studies and was an accomplished scholar.“Alright, let's go.”Alice quickly got into the car with Elijah ordering Thomas to start the car with the destination being the Gold Lake branch office.“Honey, did you know that Mr. Roland was killed last night?” Considering her grandfather had attended the birthday party, it was no surprise that Alice was aware of the incident that turned from a celebration to mourning.“Are you serious?” Elijah f
The Almighty God of War Returns Meeting the general manager
“Thank you,” Alice muttered as she took out her phone and called up her classmate.Elijah offered no response, merely flashing a smile in her direction.Not too long after, a woman approached them only to be shocked when she laid eyes on Alice.If anyone had told her that it was Alice, she wouldn't have believed, but seeing was indeed believing.Naturally, she grew envious due to how Alice looked but managed to control herself as she approached.Excitedly, Alice didn't hesitate to embrace the other lady once she was close enough. “Oh my gosh, hi, Lisa, congratulations on becoming a departmental head at Gold Lake.”Lisa Thompson feigned a smile as she replied. “Well, I try my best. Anyways, if you want to meet with the chairman, you still need the permission of the general manager, so come with me.”“How come?” Alice asked in confusion. “Yesterday, you said that an appointment was already made with the chairman.”“Alice, you know it's not easy to get an order from Gold Lake. But for yo

Shocking the guests
Celeste's act of declaring Elijah to be a better fit for her than Bernard was immediately met with mixed reactions from the guests, with most of those reactions bordering on confusion.“Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?”“Yes!”“Celeste Ainsworth, heiress of the Ainsworth family likes a kept husband like Elijah Silva?... This doesn't make any sense!”Meanwhile, Bernard stared at Elijah, struggling to figure out why she would prefer Elijah over him before finally coming to a realization.‘She wants someone that she can use and dump whenever she feels like it, so naturally, she would go for a man that has no family backing him.’Taking that into consideration, Bernard remarked. “So that's the problem?... You are threatened by my family name?”“What?”“Isn't that the reason you'd prefer a useless man like Elijah Silva?” Bernard confidently replied causing Celeste to chuckle at his lack of knowledge.“You seem to have made a blunder in your deduction. Why would I feel threatened by you
Is there something on my face?
Due to how Celeste took Alice wherever she went, people began to think that the two had established a close connection.In truth, though they had only spent a day together, Alice had quickly acclimated to the type of person Celeste was and since the two ladies had a lot in common, it didn't take much for them to become friends.Elijah accompanied them a few times but, after a while, grew bored of the constant conversations that usually bordered around the same things.If they weren't trying to form connections, they were trying to catch the attention of the ladies and if not that, they were nitpicking Elijah's presence.Wary of all that, he took a break to head to the toilet and relieve himself.Seeing an opportunity, Bernard didn't hesitate to take it as he immediately made his way over to where Alice and Celeste were.Almost at the same time, the music the DJ was playing shifted from upbeat to a more romantic vibe, and the lights above changed colors from white to a purplish hue.Be
Get-together
Bernard's misinterpretation of the actions of Celeste and Alice was equally shared by the other guests in attendance as they began to gossip among themselves.“Can you imagine that?... Celeste stepped out to greet Bernard herself. It means the rumors of a romance between them are true!”“Forget that, even Alice seems to be interested as well. Ah, how I would kill to gain the interest of even one of these two fairies.”“Heh, stop dreaming. You don't have what it takes. Maybe when you are worth a few hundred million, then you can think of going after them. For now, we can only watch a master at work.”As they continued to discuss, Bernard had a proud smile on his face as he waited for Alice and Celeste to arrive with open arms.The two ladies exchanged looks with one another before looking at Bernard like he was an idiot after which they continued on their way. “Eh… what's going on?... Where are they going… did they stop out of embarrassment?”“Maybe?”As onlookers were confused by the
The Hallowed Crown
Elijah left the City of Sin, completely overwhelmed with everything he'd learned from Zero.Just the fact that Hacksaw, an influential figure loyal to the Prime Minister had placed a bounty on his head meant that the problem in Albion was not just related to a few members of the bourgeoisie.It had also eaten deep into the aristocracy as well, which caused him to wonder just what had happened in the years he was fighting at the northern border.Had he focused so much on the northern border that he didn't realize that there were festering problems within the nation?Letting out a sigh, he took out his cell phone and placed a call to Thomas.“Yes general.”“I need you to look into the current movements of Hacksaw. Let me know if he came to Crystal Falls at any point in time.”“It would be difficult, general. Hacksaw is no ordinary figure and his secrets are just as closely guarded as yours.”“I know. Just find out what you can and relay it to me. As for Chronos' disciples, let them be f
High-risk individual
Considering Elijah was seen as a High-risk Individual, few could be considered his equal in a one-on-one fight.With this understanding, the thugs immediately became respectful. “Right this way.”Elijah was led through the entrance which led to a spacious hall adorned with expensive ornaments.One of the thugs remarked. “I'll inform Zero of your presence. For now, please take a seat.”“Alright.”It didn't take long before Zero arrived, escorted by the thug who went to get him and an additional one who seemed to serve as a bodyguard.He was a buff man with faint wisps of spirit energy floating about his figure.It was easy to tell that he was a cultivator like Elijah.Judging from Zero's physique, it was clear he was most likely a Combatant cultivator, which meant those who focused more on offensive skills when cultivating.He sat across from Elijah and scanned him briefly before speaking up. “My boys told me you are a High-risk Individual. I rather doubt it so I'm here to test it out.
Meeting with Zero
“According to what we recovered, they are most likely aiding Past and Future because they believe they'd be able to get a huge reward at the end,” Thomas reported.Elijah could shake his head, disappointed that civilians could be so easily convinced.The treasure that the disciples of Chronos were searching for was indeed valuable, but retrieving it would cause untold destruction to the entire city.He wondered if they would be able to live with such an outcome.Perhaps, if they could easily be bought with money, they wouldn't care about what happened to the city.Regardless, it was best to ensure that both Past and Future were caught before the situation got out of hand.“Any idea on who the family is?”“Not yet. But they are affiliated with the underworld so talking with Zero would help us uncover their true identity.”“Alright then, organize a meeting. I'll go there myself.”“Understood.”With that, the call ended, and Elijah drove out of the boutique.It didn't take too long befor
Celeste's probing
Silence reigned for a few seconds after Alice asked the question plaguing for so long with Celeste meeting her gaze calmly.Just as she felt like she had struck a nerve, Celeste spoke up, chuckling in amusement as she replied. “Do you think I have an ulterior motive?”“... Do you not?” Alice asked, feeling skeptical.Celeste beamed. “Well, it might seem that way but I promise that it's nothing like that.”“Then, why?”“Well, I've always admired you. You're a genius and I would like to build a relationship with you.”“You wish to build a relationship with me?”“Of course,” Celeste said. “I mean, you were able to attract investments from Jeffery Felton and Gilbert Strong, two powerhouses in the corporate world. So naturally, I'd like to get in on whatever they saw.”“Oh,” Alice muttered, a trace of disappointment welling up within her.Even though she had expected that Celeste wasn't acting all friendly for no reason, she didn't realize it was for such a reason.But then again, it was b
An impulsive young miss
Velvet Fashions was one of the many brands owned by the Ainsworth estate.Unlike most other families that had family companies, the Ainsworths didn't have that.As they were a noble house that had grown their wealth to an unimaginable degree during the monarchic era of Albion, they saw no reason to create a company.Instead, they busied themselves with investing in various brands and making them their own; that way, they wouldn't have to go through the stress of building a particular brand from scratch.So far, the Ainsworth family owned several brands in several different sectors, each one worth at least ten million dollars.Altogether, it was estimated that if they were to merge all the brands they owned, the net worth of the merged company would be closing in on ten billion dollars!In any case, as the heiress of the Ainsworth estate, Celeste hardly bothered with the brands they owned, only taking action in severe cases.But when she received a report of the situation in Velvet, sh
An interesting turn of events
Kendrick was beaten so much to the point that he didn't even dare to utter a sound.Only then did Harvey leave him be, shifting his attention to Elijah and Alice, both of whom had witnessed his brutality.Meanwhile, Louisa wished to say something only for Harvey to glare in her direction, shutting her up instantly.“Mr. Vaughn, you came rather quickly.” Elijah intoned with Harvey trembling as he heard his voice.Taking a few steps forward, everyone thought that Harvey intended to dish out the same level of violence he'd given to Kendrick, to Elijah.So imagine their surprise when he dropped to his knees and bowed to Elijah and Alice.Everyone in the boutique was dumbfounded, especially Luna.After being married to Kendrick for so long, how could she not know Harvey?He was a no-nonsense individual that was remarkably arrogant.Even Kendrick's father, who was his elder brother and head of the Vaughn family, didn't dare to force Harvey to his knees.Yet on this day, Harvey Vaughn was kn
