The Almighty God of War Returns Starry Signs Hotel
Aiden kicked the table over, causing the drinks to spill all over the floor, before angrily pointing at Madison. “You bitch, you dare to avoid me!?... Consider yourself lucky that I'm interested in you but don't think I won't handle you roughly if you push me too far!... Let me tell you, if you don't serve me well and make me happy, I'll make sure you never see another sunrise!”Then, he bent down and grabbed her neck, staring at her tear-stained face. “I hope you are listening closely!... With just a phone call, your friend is going to join her ancestors in the afterlife so you'd better behave yourself, understood?”“No, please, Mr. Leroy, just leave Alice alone. She's already suffered enough. I'm begging you.” Madison begged Aiden as she was on her knees with tears streaming down her cheeks.Feeling utterly helpless, she hoped that someone would come to her aid, rescuing her from the claws of the beast standing before her.Just then, Alice's sister, Bianca, the same one that had rep
The Almighty God of War Returns Face to face with a demon
Elijah looked at the fragile Madison in his arms, her blood slowly staining his clothes though he didn't seem to care one bit as he cleaned the blood from her face.Then, he looked at her abdomen to find that there was a bullet hole in it.As it was, she was seconds away from dying due to blood loss.“Thomas,” Elijah muttered as he used his spiritual energy to cauterize the wound, saving her from instant death.“Yes, captain.”“Keep her safe.” Elijah intoned as he handed an unconscious Madison over to Thomas who quickly took her in his arms.Meanwhile, in the penthouse above, Aiden was licking his lips in annoyance.He'd hoped to misbehave with Madison before her death, but it seemed that plan would have to be shelved, considering she had no way of surviving a fall from the tenth floor.He didn't even care that she was dead because it meant nothing to him.Even if everyone saw him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him because he was a part of the Leroy family, leaving him untou
The Almighty God of War Returns The third option
Aiden's subordinates thought that they would be able to overwhelm Elijah with numbers, unfortunately, they couldn't have been more wrong. All of them ended up on the ground, unable to get back up with Elijah standing over them without breaking a sweat. Aiden could only watch with terror, unable to believe that Elijah was so terrifying. Turning around, he tried to flee in silence but Elijah wasn't about to let that happen after everything he'd done. He kicked a knife that was lying on the ground, causing it to slice through the air, before meeting its mark as it sunk into Aiden's leg. “Ah!... Don't come any closer, stay away!” Aiden screamed in terror as he lay in a puddle of his blood. His right leg wouldn't stop bleeding even as he tried to stop it while watching as Elijah approached him like a grim reaper. If only Aiden had behaved himself, none of this would have happened but unfortunately, he dared to touch what was most important to Elijah. Even if he hadn't touched Madi
The Almighty God of War Returns Seven days
Charles had experienced a lot in his years, working as a don in the Mafia world of Crystal Falls. So, even as Elijah was so bold, that didn't mean it was the first time he'd seen such but unequivocally, all those that had been so audacious had met the same fate. Either they'd ended up bowing to him or they were six feet under. Hence, the reason why he wasn't worried about Elijah and remarked. “Good, very good. Since you have decided to make your bed, you shall lie on it. Men!” “Yes, boss!” “Teach this fool some manners.” Immediately, a hundred men surrounded Elijah, leaving him no room to escape. However, Elijah stood in place, not bothering to move an inch as he waited for the unlucky fool that would attack him first. There was not even a hint of worry on his face, same with Thomas who stood a distance away, watching the proceedings. Suddenly, Elijah's aura surged, turning into an unstoppable force that surged through the sky. Despite this, Charles didn't think
The Almighty God of War Returns Smooth and unblemished
Elijah's villa on the outskirts of Crystal Falls occupied about 20,000 square meters and it was one of the most luxurious villas in the city. It had everything from a garden to a swimming pool and even a golf course. Alice sat on the soft couch of the foyer, looking around in disbelief at the villa that could be easily mistaken for a palace belonging to a powerful ancient ruler. She had thought that she would never be able to see anything beautiful again in her life after everything she'd had to endure in her family manor but now, sitting within this paradise, she was unsure of how to feel. Just then, Elijah joined her in the foyer before kneeling before her. Alice instinctively turned away, unwilling to allow Elijah to see her scared face which made her appear like a monster. Elijah said nothing as he stared at her causing her heart to beat rapidly. Alice wanted nothing more than to disappear and hide at that moment. But then Elijah reached out and tilted her face up gently,
The Almighty God of War Returns Marital vows
Alice emerged from the shower after a while wearing a white slip dress which showed off her smooth neck and arms.In the past, she would have never dared to wear such a thing but now, she was in a good mood, enjoying her perfect new skin.Just then, she saw Elijah seated on the couch, smoking while staring at nothing in particular causing her to pause.Taking a deep breath, she walked over and sat down next to him.Silence followed for a few seconds before she finally spoke up. “She's your daughter.”Elijah paused his smoking, his eyes flickering with emotions before he asked. “When did it happen?”“Before the fire incident. You remember that night well, don't you?”Elijah gave no response but he remembered almost like it was yesterday.Alice had just closed a major deal that would bring in several million for Wesen Corporation, and so she threw a party to celebrate.Surprisingly, she had invited Elijah along with her other friends.They'd gotten drunk and everyone was out of it.Elij
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

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
