“You won't be working with Wesen Group. You'd be working with me. Is that acceptable?” Alice asked, feeling rather nervous.

She understood that what she was asking for was not something that most business owners would be comfortable with.

Working with Wesen Group meant that they wouldn't need to worry about how to recoup their investments in case of a loss.

With an individual, if anything ever went wrong, they wouldn't even know where to start from as the person could easily flee, ensuring that they wouldn't be caught.

Taking a deep breath, she quickly explained. “Of course, you won't have to worry about me running away or anything of that sort. In truth, I plan on purchasing my own company, separate from Wesen Group. That company would be the one to work with Silver Sparrow.”

“There's no need to explain, Miss Alice.” Jeffery suddenly remarked, causing Alice to pause.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, even if you don't plan on purchasing a company, I'd still sign the agreement to work with

    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

    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.

    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!...

    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?...

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.

    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

    Apologies, Mr. Silva

    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
