The Almighty God of War Returns Roland family auction
“I see,” Alice said. “What's the occasion?”“Can a man not buy gifts for his beloved without reason?”“You can.”“Exactly.” Elijah nodded. “But there is an occasion.”“I knew it!”Elijah chuckled. “There's an auction tonight, hosted by none other than the Roland family.”Alice paused, her expression taking on a cold turn as she inquired. “They are the ones that…”“Yes.” Elijah nodded.Apart from his identity, he made sure to tell Alice everything because he knew she was tough enough to handle them.So he'd already informed her that the Roland family was responsible for the attack yesterday.“You are planning to make a move?”“Yes.” Elijah nodded. “And you are going to expand your network while I deal with that.”“Alright then, but be careful.”“Aren't I always?”Alice snorted before proceeding to take out the dress and the other accessories Elijah had bought for her.Once they were done preparing, they left the villa as a power couple, quickly making their way to the auction.***The
The Almighty God of War Returns A wicked scheme
The plan was simple. As long as the workers could get close to Alice and cause the vase they were carrying to break, they would then accuse Alice of damaging it and demand reparations. For this part, Garret planned to intimidate her with his position, ensuring that she would have no choice but to cough up a substantial amount of money to be set free. But even then, he didn't plan to let her go and instead planned to detain her, after which he'd force the Wesen family to give up everything in exchange. That way, he would have dealt them a heavy blow, ensuring that they paid the price for what had happened with Gold Lake which caused the Roland family to taste bankruptcy after so many years of wealth. Of course, it would also cause the person backing them to reveal himself after which Garret wouldn't hesitate to teach the bastard a lesson for overstepping his boundaries. However, what Garret didn't take into account was the fact that Alice was no longer the weak girl from yea
The Almighty God of War Returns Dealing with the Roland family
Elijah's lips voice echoed throughout the field, sounding like a death knell to those who heard it The guests didn't dare to wait as they realized that bloodshed was sure to follow given the circumstances. Within seconds, they were gone, leaving behind members of the Roland family and Garret's subordinates. The latter group was left confused, unsure of how to act as they stared at the dead body of their superior. That hesitation cost them as Leo and Thomas moved like ghosts, ending the lives of two out of them before the others could react. Unfortunately, it didn't change the fact that they were unable to take on the members of the Dragon Legion. It didn't even take up to ten minutes before the battle was over with the Dragon Legion emerging victorious in the battle at which point Elijah got a system notification. [Mission completed] [1000 Spirit Points received] In the meantime, Members of the Roland family were too stunned to speak, completely overcome by terror as
The Almighty God of War Returns A bunch of bullies
After the meeting with the mysterious figure, David left the lounge and put a call across to his father.“Yes, Dad, he said he can help us cover our tracks and even make it look like it's Alice who carried out the transactions.”“Good, that's very good. Send the money to him and get the proof. I'm going to meet with your grandfather later today. He will surely throw a fit once he learns about this.”“Understood. I'll do so now.”Meanwhile, as the Wesen family plotted against Alice without her knowledge, she went back to work while Elijah headed for the military barracks in the city to report what happened with Commander Garret and his subordinates.Due to this, none of them were able to pick up Claire from school, so Alice asked her friend Maddie, who also had a child, to pick Claire up since her son, Adam, and Claire was attending the same primary school, both being in the 4th grade.After the incident with Aiden Leroy, she managed to recover properly and felt indebted to the Silva f
The Almighty God of War Returns Sent flying with a single kick
“Who dared to bully my wife and child?” The man accompanying Betty questioned loudly, putting a substantial amount of fear in most of those present.Of course, Elijah didn't even act like he was bothered as he was prepared to take Claire, Maddie, and Adam away.Betty pointed in their direction and the man marched over like an angry bull.“You did well, Adam, thank you for protecting Claire,” Elijah said as he praised Adam for his bravery, completely ignoring the approaching figures.“Mum and Dad always say that when you see something wrong, you should always try to make it right.”“And that is an admirable trait. From now on, you are Claire's brother. I'll make sure to treat you like family.”“Really?” Adam was excited upon hearing this.Claire had always said that her dad was a cool soldier, and Adam had a dream of one day being a soldier, so it was nice knowing that the person he admired saw him in such a way.Meanwhile, Maddie was feeling tense as she understood that the current si
The Almighty God of War Returns Done and dusted
As the armed men gathered around Caleb, he remarked while pointing at Elijah. “I want you to break his arms and legs and drag him across this playground like a dog!”All his subordinates immediately looked in Elijah's direction while emanating a potent killing intent.“You are the one that dared to attack our boss?... Good, very good, you can forget about leaving here alive!... If you want mercy, break your arms and legs yourself and crawl over here and plead for your life!”Meanwhile, Maddie struggled to keep the two children from panicking as they watched Elijah quickly get surrounded by the bad men. [Mission generated][Dealing with thugs][Reward: 1000 Spirit Points]Elijah ignored the system notification as he cracked his neck and his fist, clearly preparing himself for a fight.Naturally, this didn't sit well with the armed thugs as one of them remarked. “You think you can take all of us?”“I've never met someone more arrogant!”“If we don't teach you a lesson, you'd think you
The Almighty God of War Returns A silver card worth more than a trillion dollars
“It's my card. So you don't have to rely solely on the black card your grandfather gave you. Also, you can use it to purchase all you need for your brand.”Alice looked at the card, quickly realizing how much of a masterpiece it was.It was unlike any bank card she was familiar with, as it was made completely of silver and decorated in a manner that was too eye-catching to ignore.“How much is in it?” Alice asked with Elijah shrugging.“I have no idea.”“Then how can you be sure it has enough money to do everything I want?”Elijah smirked though he didn't bother to explain.The silver card contained everything he'd ever gotten during his time on the battlefield.It wasn't just liquid funds, but relics and other unique items as well.When he last checked, it was worth almost a trillion dollars, and since it wasn't only money that it contained, its value was constantly increasing.He didn't need money so he thought it best to hand it over to his wife.In any case, he didn't need the car
The Almighty God of War Returns PayUp
“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

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
