Albeit unwilling, Alice had no choice but to agree with Elijah’s sincere request, considering she was hardly in an optimal state.She was bleeding, and if it wasn't tended to quickly, it could end up leaving her in a coma or, worse, dead.Elijah didn't dare to end the call as he rushed to get Thomas to go after Alice while he left to find Claire.Meanwhile, within the white van, Claire was crying profusely for her parents forcing the masked men to gag her and bind her hands and feet.Watching all this, David flashed a wicked smile. “Alice Wesen, you left me no choice. Now you can only blame yourself for what I plan to do to you and your family.”***Lord Wesen was seated in his study, his expression less than pleased as he pondered on ways to deal with Alice.As it was, he considered her a threat to his rule as head of the family.Not only was she competent but she was no longer subservient and had begun to think for herself.With the way things were going, he would soon end up unable
“Alright then, keep me updated and make sure not even a bird escaped this city,” Elijah remarked. “David Wesen will surely die today, that is non-negotiable!”With that said, the conference call ended and Elijah drove towards 86.Meanwhile, Lord Wesen was completely out of it as he quickly called up David.“You bastard, what have you done to Elijah that caused him to attack the manor?”“Grandfather, don't worry, after I'm done with Alice, I'll come for you as well.”“What did you say to me, boy?”“You took what rightfully belongs to me and gave it to that bitch Alice. Did you think that I won't do anything about that?... Now, just you wait; I will make both you and Alice regret ever humiliating me, that's for sure!”“You idiot, what are you even saying?... Do you even know what you've done?... Elijah is coming to kill you!”“Let him come,” David said. “I swear I'll make him regret doing so.” “David Wesen!... Stop this madness now!”“Goodbye, grandfather, I will be with you shortly.”
In a certain corner of 86, David was with a stripper who should have been enjoying his undivided attention, if not for the fact that he was worried.He should have gotten some sort of response from Malvolo but so far, he'd gotten nothing. “Damn it, why hasn't that bastard gotten back to me yet?... Don't tell me Elijah has already dealt with all of them.” David remarked, imagining the worst scenario.Gritting his teeth, he knew he had to prepare for the worst considering the sort of gamble he was making.Just then, Elijah arrived at 86 and rushed into the club only to be stopped by security.“Sorry, but you can't go in.” The security guards remarked causing Elijah’s expression to shift.Just as he'd expected, the owner of 86 hadn't been completely honest in working with him.“Get out of my way.”“Didn't you hear what we said?... We said you can't get in so leave before we teach you a lesson.”Elijah glared at the bastard. “I won't say this again; get out of my way.”“You bastard!” The
“Is that so?” Elijah asked while taking steady steps forward. “Of course I'm sure!... Do you think I didn't anticipate you catching up?” Skully questioned harshly, unwilling to back down even now.Elijah ignored him as he remarked. “Let her go now.”“Or else what?” Skully sneered. “Look here you bastard, I'm not someone you can mess around with. I have the upper hand, so you'd best leave now that I'm still in a good mood; else, you can forget about leaving!” “I won't tell you again. Let her go.” Skully glared at Elijah as he wondered what gave the bastard the audacity to speak to him in such a manner.“It seems you have a death wish. Fine then, I'll be more than happy to escort you to your grave!” Skully bellowed before proceeding to call out. “Striker!” A man appeared at that moment, his aura filled with potent bloodlust.“I can't believe you called me to deal with this munchkin.” The man remarked as he looked at Elijah like a rat.“I want him to suffer, Striker. You've been look
Jonathan Suarez was the vice chairman of 86 and a rather influential man in Crystal Falls.Currently, he was seated in his office, enjoying a glass of tequila while smoking a cigar and being pleasured by one of his women.He seemed to have no worries in the world, already planning how he would spend the money he'd get from selling the assets he had gotten from David.As far as he was concerned, he had nothing to fear from the God of War.Apart from the fact that it wasn't assured that the person who called him was truly the God of War, even if it happened to be him, would such a great figure come for him?Of course not!So he didn't need to bother about anything.Life was good and it was only to be better for him.“What do you think, Kelsey?... Do you think the God of War is involved in this matter?” Jonathan inquired calmly as he settled into his chair.Kelsey, taking a moment to gather her thoughts, replied. “I can't be sure.”“Hah, fine then. Since it has come to this, I have no ch
Jonathan's expression soured but he maintained calm. “It's most likely a glitch. There's no way one person would be able to purchase seventy percent shares.”“And why is that?”“Hah, 86 is not just your run-of-the-mill company. We are currently worth a hundred million dollars dollars. Those shares are worth roughly seventy million, so tell me, do you think one man would be able to purchase those shares?”“Hmm, if you think that way, I'd have to say that you are quite shortsighted, Mr. Suarez. I guess I shouldn't have expected much from you in the first place.”Jonathan frowned. “You should watch your tongue, I am the one on higher ground at this point.”“Do you think so?”“What?”“Do you think that you have more power right now, Mr. Suarez?... It's unfortunate.” Elijah mocked while shaking his head.Jonathan shot to his feet. “It would seem, you don't want to accept my proposal. In that case, I have no choice but to treat you like the trespasser you are.”Then to the guards, he ordere
Jonathan flinched, too scared to dare say another word after the disparaging words from Elijah.Ignoring the fool, Elijah shifted his attention back to Kelsey who was still finding it hard to grasp the implications of what Elijah was saying.“I'm contracted to Mr. Suarez.”“I'm aware.” Elijah calmly remarked. “That contract with be rendered null and void by tomorrow, won't it, Jonathan?”“Of course,” Jonathan replied his old demeanor of arrogance nowhere to be found at this point.Kelsey trembled, unable to believe that she would be free just like that.“Are you going to entrap me?” She asked worriedly while meeting Elijah's gaze.Elijah shook his head. “No, if you don't wish to keep working here, then I shall settle you with a severance fee and ensure you a settled elsewhere. That is a promise.”“Why?”“Because, unlike Jonathan, I am not one to condone corporate slavery.” Kelsey nearly choked as tears welled up in her eyes.After so long, she'd be able to live her life.“So?... What
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.Elija
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
