As Lord Wesen unleashed his anger on David, Alice and Elijah made their way to where Livia and Randall were waiting while Thomas headed back to the villa. “Grandfather has agreed for you two to return home. He also gave me ten percent of the shares in Wesen Group and has reinstated me as general manager.” Alice reported as she handed over the documents for Olivia to peruse their contents. Naturally, Olivia was stunned upon hearing her words, even doubting them as she seized the papers and looked through them, her eyes widening as she flipped the pages. She cheered in delight when she was done, hugging and kissing the contract. “Haha, it's real. It's an actual transfer contract. That old man finally decided to do something right in his life.” “Let me see that.” Oliver intoned as he took the documents and looked through them as well. His expression brightened up as he intoned. “This is wonderful news!... Finally, we won't be looked down upon by the others.” “Alice dear, I be
Alice frowned as she had expected Darcy to behave herself but it seemed that was just too much to ask for. “I don't think there's a need to make a big deal out of what's happening?... So could you please respect yourself and stop trying to make a scene?” Alice questioned, causing Darcy to be even more annoyed as she shot back. “What?... Is it my fault that the media continues to perpetuate wrong information? They are the ones that claimed you as the next big thing in the city yet here you are, standing in line with the rest of the poor people.” At this point, Olivia and Oliver felt embarrassed so they quickly tried to hide their faces while distancing themselves from Alice to not be profiled along with her. Alice gritted her teeth as she heard others on the line come for her even though Darcy had insulted them as well. This was all because Darcy gave off the illusion that she was rich, and most middle-class individuals always supported those of the upper class just so they c
Hearing Elijah’s words caused Darcy to flare up even more as she took out her phone and called the manager of Mr. Biggs. “Mr. Clyde?... Yes, it's Darcy Neeson.” “Miss Neeson, how are you doing?” “I don't have time for pleasantries,” Darcy remarked coldly. “Some bastard just hit me outside your restaurant and is even threatening to do more. I need you to come and teach the bastard a lesson!” “What?... Who is the insolent fool that doesn't know his place?... I'm on my way.” With that, the call ended and Darcy grinned triumphantly. “You are a goner, you hear me?... I'm going to make you understand what it means to go against me, Darcy Neeson.” “Is that so?” Elijah seemed more amused at this point. Darcy glared at him. “You still have the mind to smile, right?... Fine then, nothing is going to stop me from turning you into a cripple today, mark my words!” Terrified that they would get implicated, Olivia tried to apologize. “Young Miss, please be merciful. This is all because
The White Tiger King was a man who stood at the apex of the nation as a powerhouse with very few equals. Apart from the King of the North and the Emperor himself, few others could measure up to his majesty. To think that such an individual had decided to make an appearance at Mr. Biggs at such a time, few could only wonder what it was that had caused such a great figure to reveal himself. In truth, he had come for a very important matter in the city and had decided to take a trip down the Mr. Biggs to meet with Elijah as he heard he would be there with family. Imagine his surprise as he found that some nobodies were trying to fight with the King of the North. Even he wouldn't be so bold yet some riffraffs were attempting to do so. Shaking his head, he remarked. “I didn't think you enjoy playing with fools or is this a new personal hobby after your exploits in the North?” Confusion set in for everyone as most wondered what the White Tiger King was talking about and most im
“Does he even know what a gold room is in the first place?... Look, man, word of advice, just go home; there's no need to make a mockery of yourself here. It's more than enough for one day.” “The dude just knows how to boast!... If there was a trophy for boasting, I'm sure he'd win it comfortably.” “Just look at him claiming to be able to afford a gold room. He couldn't do so before now but magically, he can. This guy must think we are dumb or something.” As more people joined in to insult and mock Elijah, Olivia didn't hesitate to join in as well as she remarked. “Even Lord Wesen can only make use of the bronze room, yet you claim to have access to the gold room; with what authority do you think you can make such foolish claims?” “Even his own family is calling him out on his bullshit, that's just amazing!” “Look here, the gold room is only reserved for the creme de la creme of society. The owner is someone from the capital and he has to acknowledge you before you can enter
As Olivia and Oliver basked in the beauty of the Gold room while Elijah was just happy to finally have some peace and quiet with his wife, the food arrived. Beautiful waitresses brought the food which was extremely appetizing just from its smell alone. The group didn't hesitate to eat to their satisfaction, eating and drinking while enjoying the shows put on by performers specially ordered by Mr. Clyde. After almost an hour had passed, Mr. Clyde returned to check on things. “Hello, everyone. Is everything to your liking?” He was aware that Elijah didn't wish to be outed as an important figure hence the reason he didn't dare to put too much attention on him. Meanwhile, Olivia felt great that finally, she could enjoy the luxurious life that she had always dreamed about. “Yes, everything is great, thank you,” Alice replied. “That's good to hear. If you don't mind, I'd like to give this to you.” As he spoke, Mr. Clyde took out a card and handed it to Alice. “What is this?”
The Romano family was one of the few families that could be considered B-tier when it came to influence in Crystal Falls. They were involved in the Power sector, utilizing oil, solar, hydro, and so many other forms of energy, marking themselves out as the Kings of Energy, which was what they were called by the media. Their wealth far surpassed the Wesen family and even the Neesons would struggle to stand on the same level with them. So it was only natural that such a family would have connections to the Golden Treasury with the third most likely to become heir of the family attending the auction. Luigi Romano was the fourth son of the Romano family and had proven himself as even more capable than his third brother when it came to leading the company which was why he was considered the third most likely to be named heir of the family. He was handsome and carried himself with an air of arrogance that seemed to define his characteristics. Accompanied by a female escort, he was
Soon enough, the diamond necklace was sold for two million dollars to an unknown bidder, which assured Elijah that the identity of the bidders wouldn't be revealed, which meant he could purchase without worries.Meanwhile, the ladies on stage returned with the glass box while another duo emerged with a different glass box that contained a pair of gold earrings.“Ladies and gentlemen, this is an antique from the previous era, earrings worn by the last empress to rule Albion before it officially changed its name to Avalon.”As expected, Simon's words caused the hall to explode with murmurs as more than half of the attendants had the desire to own antiques, especially ones owned by royalty in the past.If such a relic was just the second item, one had to wonder what had been kept for last.Unless there was something wrong with the ring none were willing to take the risk of losing out on such an incredible item based on probability.Seeing as how the entire hall was enraptured with the di
Letting out a sigh, Elijah decided not to push the matter. The Ghoul King glared at Elijah as he bellowed. "You haven't seen the last of me!"Elijah didn't even offer a response as he gave him a perfunctory glance before turning to leave, causing the Ghoul King to feel even more humiliated at being treated as less than an insect."Ah!" He screamed out as Thomas ordered his men to arrest the terrorists, taking them all into custody before they left the scene.Starting from tonight, tales of Elijah Silva's bravery would be told for weeks to come.It was the advent of a great hero in Crystal Falls.***After dealing with the Ghoul King, Elijah left the White Tiger King to handle the collateral damage and also to ensure that the press didn't make too much noise about what had happened.This was to prevent Elijah from becoming too much of a central figure as that would draw too much attention to him and also, to prevent others like the Ghoul King from realizing that their plans had failed
Elijah smirked as he stared down the Ghoul King, the latter feeling quite tense though he didn't show it.'Who does he think he is?... I am the Ghoul King!... No man can dare to disrespect me and expect to survive. No, if I don't show this fool his place, he would think he was the Emperor.'"I will give you one last chance, Mr. Silva. Accept my offer or I will make you regret being born.""Just shut up and fight me already." Elijah casually said, causing the Ghoul King to go red in anger and humiliation."Good, very good. Best keep up that attitude once I'm done with you.""Don't worry, I don't plan on losing it."The Ghoul King gritted his teeth but said nothing more as he prepared to unleash his Martial Technique.'Don't worry; once I'm done with you, you'll regret ever doing all this.'With that thought, the Ghoul King attacked, forming a fist and throwing a punch once he'd reached Elijah.However, that was all… then he found himself on the ground, face first with his body aching t
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
