Although Julio was baffled as to why the Abnomars forbade them from dealing with Elijah even after Sir Walter’s death and even seemed to have the intention of letting him off, he had no choice but to obey Marc’s orders and quickly agreed, “Yes, Mister Abnomar!”

After leaving the Hernandezs’ manor, Marc raised his head to look into the distant sky with a vicious gaze in his eyes. “Hmph, Elijah Silva, I’ll let you live for a few more days. Soon, you will die without a grave!”

Soon, the news of Diego’s death spread throughout Crystal Falls.

The Hernandezs merely told everyone that Diego had died because of a sudden cardiac arrest resulting from the shock of the tragic death of his grandson Liam.

But only ordinary people would be fooled by this explanation.

The people of the top families all found his death to be very bizarre.

After all, even though Diego was almost 70 years old, he had always been in good health and had never suffered from any heart disease.

So they found it unlikely tha

    “Hubby.” Alice suddenly called out, jolting Elijah from his thoughts.“Ah, apologies, of course, I'll join you.” Elijah swiftly replied as he regained his composure.“Good. I'll send you the restaurant address, don't be late.” Alice said.“Understood.”Once the call ended Elijah called up Thomas to check on the investigative journalist he'd saved.For the time being, he was recovering fine and there hadn't been any suspicious movement.Though it was meant to be good news, both Elijah and Thomas knew quite well that they couldn't start celebrating just yet.Time would tell if it was good or bad. ***Two hours later, Elijah had just arrived at the restaurant when Alice called him.She must have been worried about him taking too long, fearing he might have encountered danger.“I’m downstairs now, don’t worry,” he said with a smile after answering the call. After quickly ascending the stairs, Elijah spotted Alice sitting in a chair.But the next moment, his expression suddenly grew dark

    Regaining his composure, Stanley struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed a wine bottle from a nearby table, and swung it towards Elijah’s head! Facing the charging Stanley, Elijah kicked out, flipping him onto a table nearby. The glass table was flipped over by the sheer force, shattering into pieces upon colliding with the marble floor tiles. “Ouch! That really hurts!” The force of the kick was immense, and Stanley lay on the ground wailing in pain. “Master Pierce, are you alright?” With all the commotion, Pierre sobered up quite a bit. He called out to his brother, “Lucas, call people over!” They were in real estate development and kept a group of thugs on the payroll. These men spent their days in idleness, mainly dealing with demolition work. Whenever there was trouble, these were the men who would step in. “Bastard, you’re going to regret this in a minute!” Seeing that the opponent was skilled, Lucas didn’t face him head-on. He took out his phone and diale

    Elijah had thought that after the lesson at the Hallowed Crown, this fool would restrain himself.But it turned out the man was like a mangy dog that just wouldn’t learn.“Elijah! Don’t be too arrogant! You dare to cross Master Pierce today, you think you can leave alive?”Having his sore spot uncovered, Bernard’s face immediately darkened. He turned to look at Alice, forcing a smile as he said, “Quick, leave this place. When the Sinister Six’s people arrive, you can’t avoid being implicated! ”“No need!”Alice cut him off without courtesy, “Wherever Elijah is, that’s where I’ll be! Bernard Carlson, don’t bother with your hypocritical act in front of me!”‘You…”Her words made Bernard Carlson’s face turn a shade of ugly one seldom sees.Even with his identity, why was he always looked down upon!“Master Pierce, as far as I know, this woman doesn't believe you can handle her!”With a hardened heart, Bernard turned and spoke to Stanley.If he couldn’t have her, then he would destroy her

    “Two-face, right? Tell me what you are here for!” Elijah grabbed a chair and sat down, crossing his legs casually.In the face of these people, there was no trace of panic on his face.A Sinister Six employee took off his sunglasses and pointed at Elijah, roaring. “You dare to sit in front of us!”Two-face had a high status within the Sinister Six, equivalent to the second-in-command.Within the group, apart from the first of his name, no one dared to sit while talking to Two-face.Now, not only was Elijah sitting, but he was also sitting back with his legs crossed, which greatly dissatisfied the employees under Two-Face.Before the man could open his mouth again, Two-face slapped him across the face!“Big Brother…l!”The employee covered his face, clearly not understanding what had just happened.Two-face pointed at him, shaking with anger, “Someone, take him out and cripple him!”“Big Brother!”The employees closest to him showed their confusion.They didn’t understand what the man

    “You ordered someone to chop down the General?” Thomas coldly said.Then, he ordered. “Pick him up!”Behind him, several soldiers walked over to Stanley and hoisted him up.“General, how do you want to handle this?”Elijah remarked. “Let them off with a warning.”“Understood.” Thomas nodded. “Turn off the lights!”Thomas gently touched his nose and then turned to look at the restaurant manager.Shhh!In an instant, the bright restaurant plunged into darkness.Many customers who were waiting to watch the excitement were caught off guard and started to panic.Some even pulled out their phones to record, but now in complete darkness, they couldn’t see a thing.Crack!The sound of a severe collision and bones breaking reached everyone’s ears.Then came the powerless roar of Stanley.His mouth was firmly covered by a soldier, leaving him unable to scream.Another muffled sound!Two-face felt a chill down his spine, and his breathing became hurried.Stanley was, after all, a boss with hundr

    “Mark, you useless thing! Other than causing me trouble, what good are you for?” Azazel took a deep drag of his cigarette, a look of ecstasy on his face.“What are you talking about! God! I’m a member of the Hell's Kitchen too! If you’re so great, why don’t you take over as my boss? Don’t think I want to cooperate with you, you maniac!”Feeling belittled by his comrade’s words, Mark was embarrassed.His expertise lay in tracking and disguise; he couldn’t possibly compare to others in actual combat.Without his meticulous planning, how could they have possibly intercepted them on this street!“Are you two done yet?”Elijah slowly walked down from the car, looking at the two men in front of him.“Hey man, are you Elijah?”Azazel put out the cigarette in his hand, and then pulled a photograph from his pocket.“That’s right! It’s you.”After comparing for a moment, he crumpled the photograph into a ball and casually tossed it into the grass by the roadside.As Azazel tossed the photo, a s

    As Azazel spoke, he suddenly lunged forward!His fists crashed down like lightning!Elijah didn’t dodge but met his fists head-on!The tremendous force made both retreat several steps.But neither had any intentions of stopping, both charging forward fiercely!Azazel could stand his ground, his skills were naturally exceptional!At this moment, his lethal moves were frequent, intended to be fatal in one strike!This time, Elijah did not block, but let the other man’s fist slam into his shoulder!“Hmm?”Azazel distinctly felt a massive force at his fist! His punch could shatter boulders, yet his opponent stood still without budging!“In your next life, don’t mess with me!”Taking advantage of the other’s stupor, Elijah’s left hand transformed into a blade, heavily smashing into Azazel’s throat!Crack!As the sound of a throat breaking rang out, Azazel fell slowly with an incredulous look in his eyes.The street was dead silent.Apart from the roaring flames, all that remained was Mark’

    After Elijah kicked the stone statue at the entrance of the Abnomar manor, numerous bodyguards swarmed out to surround him.In particular, the Abnomars were further enraged when they heard Elijah tell Lincoln to get ready for death.“Where did that punk come from? How dare he speak to Mr. Lincoln in such a manner?!”“You’ve destroyed the Abnomars’ symbolic statue and spoke to Mr. Lincoln so rudely. You will die here today!”“Don’t waste your breath on speaking nonsense with him. Capture him and bring him to Mr. Lincoln!”The ten or so bodyguard guards charged at Elijah.But what they thought was an act of bravado was actually extremely poorly executed and unbearable in Elijah’s eyes.Elijah didn’t even look at them, thinking they were lesser than insects.Each time he waved his hand and foot, one person would be flung away forcefully and rendered immobile on the ground.Soon, there were miserable screams from time to time.The bodyguards were all knocked down without even touching the

    Seeing Elijah not say anything, Justus really thought that he had scared Elijah with his threat, so he said smugly, “Are you scared now? If you are, hurry up and kneel down, kowtow three times, and slap yourself while admitting your mistakes. Then I’ll let you off. Or else… hmph!”Elijah’s eyes lit up as he smiled. “Or else what?”“Or else I’ll immediately call a group of men here and break your legs! I’ll cripple you so that you’ll have to crawl in front of me forever!” Justus clamored loudly.He already had his phone in hand.Once he placed the call, a bunch of his men would come immediately.Although it wasn’t good to create a bloodbath on such an auspicious occasion, Justus already planned to drag Elijah farther away and then break his legs.After hearing what Justus said, the people around them couldn’t help but frown slightly.It was just a minor verbal conflict.Besides, Justus's wife, Glenda, was the one who started it.But in the end, he demanded that Elijah kowtow to him or

  • Sick of it

    “Justus, you’re really impressive! All thanks to you, so many noble and distinguished guests are here to attend my son's wedding!” Mark said to Justus with utmost gratitude after the distinguished guests were seated.Justus was proud of himself, but he pretended to be modest by saying, “Not at all. It’s just a trivial matter! If I had asked them in advance, those currently away on a business trip would have been able to attend the wedding too. There would be many more guests here now.”He was stating a fact.It was indeed a last-minute decision of his to come and attend the wedding.If not for his father telling him that a big shot would be turning up at the wedding today and asking him to hurry over to form some good relations with the Johnsons to befriend said big shot, Justus wouldn’t even be here today, let alone invite his friends and business partners along.One of the reasons that Justus had invited so many of them was to show off his capabilities and a great network of connect

  • Basking in a false sense of glory

    Alice stood up and said calmly, “What did I do wrong? Why should I apologize to you?”Justus didn’t expect Alice to have the guts to contradict him, and his face turned extremely gloomy. “My wife is your elder no matter what. Not only do you not have any respect for her, but you even humiliated her in front of all the guests. And now, you dare not admit your mistake? Is this how Olivia raised you?”Alice retorted coldly, “How did I humiliate her? She borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from our family and never mentioned a single thing about paying us back. I just asked her to return the money. You call that humiliating her?”Justus sneered and roared, “Lies! The Carlsons are a big family and the Carlson Corp. alone is worth hundreds of millions! How can we possibly owe your family tens of thousands?”Refusing to show any weakness, Alice said calmly, “Yeah, that baffles me too. Your family is so rich. Why did you still take money from us and refuse to return it?... I thought about i

  • A tremendous disgrace

    Seemingly having woken up from a dream, Dahlia raised her head before quickly lowering it again to cover up. “I’m fine, Dad. I… I just didn’t sleep well last night. That’s all.”Mark’s wife, Tina, who was standing at the side and greeting the guests, immediately said, “Dahlia, I think you’re just too kindhearted. You treat them as your cousins, but they insulted and humiliated your mother in front of the rest of our relatives! If I were you, I wouldn’t be able to stomach this at all!”Justus’s face immediately turned dark. “What exactly is going on?”Although he didn’t like Glenda, he hadn’t divorced her yet, and she was representing the Carlsons as well.So he wondered just who had the guts to humiliate her in public.Dahlia bit her lower lip aggrievedly but still chose to stay silent.But Tina refused to let go of this opportunity and hurriedly griped, “Olivia’s daughters just openly humiliated Glenda and called her out for refusing to repay her loans. They spoke so callously and ev

  • Justus arrives

    “Honey, you’re finally here!” A voice of surprise suddenly sounded.It was Glenda, who had scurried out of the hotel ashamedly just now. When she saw the middle-aged man, she immediately scrambled toward him from a café beside the hotel gleefully.She initially thought that her husband was going to stand her up again today and go have a rendezvous with his mistress instead.But she didn’t expect him to do her the favor of coming to attend her nephew’s wedding.When she thought of how she had gotten bullied by Alice, Glenda wanted to complain to her husband.The middle-aged man was none other than Glenda’s husband, Justus Carlson, who was Dahlia’s father and Sir Carlson’s son.He pushed Glenda, who was about to complain to him, away with disgust and said with a look of annoyance, “If my father hadn’t told me that a big shot was coming here today, I wouldn’t have bothered to attend the wedding at all.”It was just the wedding of a young descendant of the Clements, which he wouldn’t have

  • A thick skinned woman

    At this moment, the guests who witnessed the whole process began discussing it.“What an entertaining show! Didn’t Glenda say that she’s married into the Carlson family and couldn’t have possibly borrowed money from Alice and the Wesens? Now she’s contradicting herself!”“So it’s true that she borrowed money and refused to repay it. This woman is so thick-skinned! She was just denying it moments ago and claiming that that young lady is crazy about money. But as soon as she received the lawyer’s letter, her attitude changed drastically. How shameless!”“That’s right. And she even called her niece a bitch and slandered her for giving sexual favors in exchange for high positions in their companies. If I had such a relative who dared to slander my daughters and made up such rumors, I’d definitely chop their head off!”“Ah, poor girls. They were kind enough to lend so much money to Glenda Clement, but not only did she refuse to repay the money, but she even insulted them in public. This is

  • An overbearing aunt

    The female lawyer’s tone was flat with barely any emotion, but it caused an uproar among the crowd.Things had actually escalated to the point that a legal letter had been issued.In that case, it seemed that it was true that Glenda hadn’t repaid the money she owed Alice!Holding the legal letter in her hand, Glenda almost fainted and fell backward in exasperation.She never thought that Alice would actually hire a lawyer and send her a legal letter to warn her! “What… What evidence do you have to prove that I owe you money? If you don’t have concrete proof, that makes it a false accusation, and I can counter-sue you!” Glenda shouted ferociously.Alice sneered. “Surely you haven’t forgotten what happened when you borrowed money from me, have you? When you borrowed the fifty thousand from me, you wrote an IOU, and I can produce it as evidence when need be. Also, although there’s no IOU for the thirty thousand my mother lent you, there’s a bank transfer record, and we can just retrieve

    “Okay, okay, that’s certainly fine. Your aunt and uncle are your closest relatives, and they didn’t mean to say what they said just now, so don’t take it to heart.” Olivia immediately promised on their behalf.“Trust you to say that they didn’t mean to…” Alice was indignant and wanted to say something, but Elijah immediately interrupted.“Alice, forget it.”Hearing this, Alice could only keep quiet in a disgruntled manner. “Fine, I’ll listen to you.”Seeing that Alice and Madison had compromised, Glenda gibed with a triumphant expression on her face. “Hah, he’s just a good-for-nothing, yet you’re treating his words like a royal edict. I merely criticized him, and you started lashing out at me. How amusing!”Alice was already planning to ignore them, but she didn’t expect Glenda to be so overbearing.She immediately retorted, “Haha, it’s even more amusing that some people actually have the cheek to mock others when they refuse to pay back the money they owe!”Glenda immediately flew in

  • A good mother indeed

    Alice sneered and was about to speak again, but her uncle Mark suddenly walked up to her and said softly, “Alice, it’s your cousin’s big day today. For my sake, let’s talk about these matters in private!”Alice looked at Mark and shook her head coldly.Alice had already saved Mark and Glenda from enough embarrassment yesterday.But when Glenda scolded them just now, Mark didn’t come forward to stop her.Now that she had merely clapped back at Glenda once, Mark intervened and asked her to settle the matter in private.Why should she agree to it?Alice said coldly, “Uncle Mark, the two villas belonging to the Johnsons were built with the money you guys took from my mother. We’ll put aside the villa that Grandpa and Grandma are staying in and just consider it as Mom’s act of filial piety toward them. But shouldn’t you return us the money for the villa you and your son are living in? You’re a man, after all, Uncle Mark. It doesn’t seem reasonable for you to be taking money from your siste
