“You think I don't know that you are the ones responsible for the death of my parents!"

"Don't make false allegations, Ms. Lester, I doubt you'd be able to pay for the lawsuit that would follow if you are wrong." Philip mocked but Phoebe wasn't willing to back down.

"I'm going to find evidence and when I do, be prepared to pay back for everything you've done. You have done so much evil, just know that karma is not far away."

"Haha, Karma?... Are you stupid?... Bullion is king in Crystal Falls. There's nothing like karma before us."

Phoebe remained silent, not deeming it necessary to give a response.

Her stance was already clear and her goal apparent.

It was left for Philip to make his choice.

"You won't back down till the end, Ms. Lester."

"Get out of my office."

"You will regret this…"

"Get out!"

Philip snorted as he got to his feet and left, with Phoebe barely able to restrain her anger.

It had been 2 years, 2 years of constant bad luck, from losing her parents to having so much on

    Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly felt faint, causing her to stagger back, only for Elijah to step forward to stop her from falling."You… why are you here?" She inquired, unable to make sense of what was happening.Elijah grinned. "I'd like to buy your bank."Phoebe sobered up immediately."You what?""I want to purchase your bank.""... Why?" Phoebe couldn't help but ask.Elijah promptly replied. "Because my wife wants it."***Philip had sent thugs to deal with Phoebe during the night, asking that they make it look like an accident just like they had done for her parents.But imagine their disappointment when they found no one at home.The next day, Philip rushed to PayUp to find out if Phoebe had come to work, and as he expected, she was in her seat."Oh, Mr. Philip, you are here," Phoebe remarked, all smiles, a complete contrast to her demeanor of yesterday.Philip quickly realized that something was wrong but unable to place his finger on it, he inquired.

    “Young master Luke, what's going on there?” Just then, the family butler appeared.“This bastard dared to hit me!... I'm going to teach him a lesson!” Luke responded.“Young master, you should calm down. The entire family is waiting in the meeting hall for Miss Alice.”“Don't tell me what to do!... This bastard hit me and he needs to pay the price!” “Young master, it's best not to escalate the situation until your grandfather is made aware, especially with the things happening right now.”Gritting his teeth, Luke glared at Elijah. “Best watch your back!”Then, he stomped off in a rage while the butler remained to lead Alice and Elijah to the meeting hall.“Uncle, what's going on?” Alice asked with the butler responding.“You'll know soon enough.”Once they arrived in the meeting room, Alice was immediately greeted by a bunch of people staring at her like she was their worst enemy.Alice's heart dropped at the sight as she wondered what could have happened that would warrant such a r

    Just as everyone was laughing, mocking Elijah and Claire, Elijah exploded. “Enough!” The hall was immediately plunged into silence as they all stared at Elijah with latent fear in their eyes. “I can take any insults you dish out, but if you dare to speak about my daughter wrongly again, then don't blame me for being rude!” Fear gripped the heart of the fool that spoke ill of Elijah and Claire, but spurred on by Lord Wesen’s authority, he remarked. “You bastard!... Instead of you to hide your face in shame, you dare to threaten me?... How can you even call yourself a man when you still need your wife to take care of you?... I swear I have no idea what Alice sees in you.” “I agree, it makes no sense. Honestly, if you love her, you'd leave her so she can reveal her true potential. Your presence is only holding her back from her true potential!.. Don't you feel any shame knowing that your wife has to resort to stealing from her own family to feed you?” Elijah said nothing, merely

    “Dear, let them go. There's nothing you do now that would change their minds.”“But I didn't do it,” Alice said amidst tears causing Elijah's heart to ache.“I know, and we will prove your innocence. But for now, let's go home.”Alice said nothing as she buried her head in Elijah's chest and cried.***After they got home, Alice went to the bedroom and locked herself in, leaving Elijah to take care of Claire in silence.After he'd made sure Claire was doing her homework, he got to the living room and made a phone call.“Hello, Gilbert.”“Sir Silva, it's an honor.”“Enough with the small talk. Terminate the ongoing deal with Wesen Group. Let them know that Gold Lake will only work with Alice Silva from now henceforth. Also, if there are any losses, ensure it is the Wesen family that handles it.”“Of course sir, I'll get it done right away.”After Elijah hung up, Gilbert immediately got to work.He didn't even bother delegating the duty as he handled it himself, putting a call across to

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Kneel and apologize

    Expecting Elijah to do as they wished, they quickly realized that they were only dreaming as Elijah remarked. “You expect me to kneel?... Then, come over here and make me.”As he spoke, he took a step forward with his arms spread wide, urging anyone man enough to step forward and act.Of course, none dared to do so and even some stepped back in fright.Something about Elijah made them feel like they would pay dearly should they make a mistake.Snorting derisively, Elijah mocked them. “Bunch of cowards!”“Who are you to insult us!... Instead of acting like a thug, try to have some class!” David coldly remarked earning a sneer from Elijah.“I don't need to, but I do know something that you need.”“What?”“Don't try to hide it. If Gold Lake hadn't terminated the contract with Wesen Group, you wouldn't be here asking to take Alice back. Yet you dare to ask us to kneel when you be the ones kneeling along with that old fool that thinks he can order Alice around like she's some maid.”“That'

    Having made his point, Elijah took Alice back into the villa, leaving the Wesen family members outside.Once inside, Alice asked. “Do you think I went too far?”“No.” Elijah calmly said. “I feel like you should have done more.”“They are ultimately still my family,” Alice admitted. “I can't bear to see them suffer.”“Same people that won't hesitate to watch you burn if it were for their benefit?”A melancholic smile adorned Alice's lips as she replied. “Yes, those same people.”Then, turning to Elijah, she muttered. “Thank you.”“... Why are you thanking me?” Elijah asked as he cradled her cheeks. “We are in this together.”Alice flashed a warm smile before burying her face in his chest.***Meanwhile, the Wesen family members returned home to Lord Wesen who frowned deeply once he realized that Alice wasn't with them. “Where is she?... Why isn't Alice with you?” One of them, Alice's niece and David's sister, Diana, quickly explained. “Grandpa, do calm down, it's not our fault. That

    “You should rest for now.” Elijah calmly said in a bid to soothe his troubled wife. “Don't worry, I'll rescue them.” “Elijah, maybe we should just give in. What if something happens?” Alice questioned in a panicked state. “Nothing will happen. You have my word.” Alice stared blankly at him but ultimately chose to believe in him. So far, he hadn't failed her, so she would believe that he could save her parents. “Alright.” “Make sure to stay here, alright?... Don't go anywhere, don't take any calls.” “Elijah…” “Promise me, Alice. Promise me you won't go anywhere.” Alice ultimately nodded. “Alright, I promise.” “Good. I'll be back soon.” With that, Elijah got to his feet and left with a determined look in his eyes and a system notification that read; [Mission generated] [Mission; Rescuing the In-laws] [Reward; 1000 Spirit Points, +100 satisfaction] Since the enemy had decided to mess with his wife, he would make sure to show them the error of their ways!

    “Stay away!... Don't you dare touch me!” David cried out in a panic as he tried to flee. He'd watched as Jack and his thugs were completely dominated by Thomas and members of the Dragon Legion, which meant Elijah hadn't even lifted a finger yet had beaten him. He was aware of Elijah’s status as a soldier but had no idea that the bastard would be connected to such powerful individuals and what was all that about being called a general? There's no way Elijah Silva was a general, right?... That didn't make any sense!... Or at least, David didn't wish for it to make sense. “You can't touch me!... If you touch me, my grandfather will deal with you!” David warned as Elijah quickly caught up to him before grabbing him by the neck and slapping him countless times. He slapped him strong enough to ensure that his cheeks were red and swollen but not enough to ensure that he passed out. Elijah wished to make him feel all the pain of the slaps. David burst into tears as he remarked.

    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

  • I smell tea

    The two guests who arrived indeed had a higher status than the Johnsons.The first was Dahlia’s paternal grandfather, Cornelius Carlson, an entrepreneur who had founded the Carlson Corp more than two decades ago.It was now developing extremely well, and he had handed the company over to Dahlia’s father, Justus Carlson because he was advanced in his years.This time, he had brought Derrick Charleston, the helmsman of the Charleston family, with him.Although the Charlestons were not a top family, they were the top among the second-rate ones and were not to be belittled.Derrick and Cornelius met in the military when they were younger, and back in the day, they were comrades of the same squad.Derrick had even saved Cornelius’s life during one of the battles they fought.So they had been very close to each other over the years.This time, Cornelius visited the Johnsons to congratulate them as Glenda’s father-in-law.On the other hand, Derrick was just accompanying Cornelius.Sir Johnso

  • Arrival of honored guests

    “Stop it! All of you, shut up!” Sir Johnson roared furiously as he stood up all of a sudden, his face as red as a tomato.But immediately afterward, his body swayed back and forth as if he was about to lose his footing.“Dad!”“Sir Johnson!”All the Johnsons hurriedly rushed forward to hold Sir Johnson and help him to his chair while asking one another to bring his medicine over.Mark pushed away Olivia, who was holding Sir Johnson, with all his might.He cursed, “It’s all your fault. Look how angry you’ve made Dad. God forbid anything happens to him. Otherwise, I won’t spare you guys!”Then he glared at Oliver viciously. “Same goes for you. Don’t think I’ll spare you!”Oliver frowned and really wanted to say something, but he could only fall silent after Elijah tugged his sleeve.Sir Johnson suffered from hypertension, and after getting agitated just now, he became dizzy and lost his balance.After being fed some medicine and getting some rest, he returned to normal.But at this mome

  • A huge shame

    Elijah wanted to make Alice proud so that the Johnsons would know that she was not a laughing stock who had to be subject to the ridicule of others just because she had married a good-for-nothing.So he had specially chosen to buy expensive gifts for the Johnsons.Unfortunately, his kindness wasn’t appreciated.And in turn, the Johnsons even humiliated him.As a result, Oliver even exposed all of Olivia’s and their misdeeds because he could no longer tolerate it any further.But Elijah didn’t have a good impression of Olivia and the Johnsons.He felt that they had all brought it upon themselves.Hearing what her siblings and father said, Olivia seemed hesitant.Oliver wanted her to tell the truth, but her family obviously wanted her to deny it.She hesitated for only a brief moment before deciding to say what her family wanted her to.At this moment, Oliver said coldly, “You really should think clearly before you say anything. If you tell a single lie, we’ll get a divorce immediately!

  • Some family drama

    Within the home of the Johnson family, Oliver Wesen, father of Alice, father-in-law of Elijah, and husband to Olivia, was going on a rant, and his brutal words were directed at the members of the Johnson family. “You took money from us several times. But just because I don’t want to say it out loud, it doesn’t mean that I don’t know! You call it a loan every single time, but have you ever returned a single cent? All of you are like bottomless pits that just keep taking money like nobody’s business! Now, you actually have the cheek to turn the tables and say that we rely on you to provide for us. Hah, this is hilarious! Olivia Johnson, have you ever asked your family to return me the money they took in the past few decades of our marriage?“You people are just bloodsuckers who use your Alice to leech off of others. What right do you have to scold me and my son-in-law?”Oliver had probably been suppressing his anger for a long time and thus vented it all out now.Olivia’s jaw dropped,
