“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 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

    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.

    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

    “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

    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.

    “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

    “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

  • Off to the airport

    According to the information obtained from Leo’s investigation, William had been going to work and getting off work on time every day. He didn’t go to gambling dens or have any conflicts with anyone.Logically speaking, no one should have spent so much money to get him killed.Seeing Elijah remaining silent, Valerie felt extremely guilty. “I’m sorry, I… I’m not of any help to you. If I had known earlier that this would happen, I should have asked my husband about it clearly!”Elijah shook his head. He was well aware that since Trevor was willing to trade his life for money that could save his daughter’s life, he would certainly also protect the safety of his wife and daughter. Thus, he would never have taken the initiative to disclose any information about the person who had paid him for murder.Elijah was somewhat disappointed that there wasn’t much useful information from Valerie.But since he had given his promise to Valerie and her daughter, Mikey, he naturally wouldn’t forget abo

  • Seeking answers

    Elijah looked at the little girl hugging Valerie tightly.She was emaciated, feeble, and extremely pale, looking as though she was about to fall at any moment.This poor little boy immediately made Elijah think about his daughter, Claire.Both of them were almost the same age, and yet this little boy was so pitiful that Elijah couldn’t help feeling a trace of sympathy for him.Elijah admired Trevor and Valerie as parents.They might not necessarily be good or capable people, but they were indeed a pair of good parents who loved their son greatly.Moreover, Elijah didn’t want to see yet another person face impending death just because they couldn’t afford to pay their medical expenses.This was why Elijah decided to help this family—so that this little boy could live healthily in the future.He reckoned that this little boy’s illness shouldn’t have reached its worst yet. Besides, tens of thousands meant nothing to Elijah now.“Your son is about the same age as my daughter,” Elijah said

  • A complicated situation

    The little boy was terrified as he stumbled over to hug his mother.“Mommy, Mommy…” The little boy didn’t know what was going on, so he simply hugged Valerie’s legs tightly in panic and burst into tears.Valerie pulled the thin and feeble boy into her arms as tears streamed down incessantly.“I really don’t know how to apologize to you, but my son has cancer, and we can’t afford such expensive medical expenses. Mikey’s condition is getting worse and worse. We really have no way out!“Just a few days ago, someone found my husband and instructed him to run over someone for fifty thousand dollars. We were very reluctant at first, but we really had no other way. Mikey’s treatment can no longer be delayed, and we really can’t bear to see our obedient and sensible son passing away just like that… But this is murder after all. I persuaded my husband not to do it, but he also had serious cancer. His cancer cells had metastasized and spread. He said that since he couldn’t live for long anyway,

  • No need to be scared

    Leo had casually taken this stack of bills from the car just now, and it happened to come in handy now.There were around sixty bills.The middle-aged woman’s eyes were immediately glued to the stack of bills.Most people living in such a shabby place were struggling to make ends meet and earned meager wages.This stack of bills was worth about a thousand dollars, enough to cover a few months’ worth of living expenses for the woman.All that was required of her was to ask someone to come out.It was really effortless.For people used to being poor, such a temptation was really difficult to resist.Thus, after being conflicted for a while, the middle-aged woman finally opened the door, reached out to accept the money, and said with some slight embarrassment, “Ah, you are so polite. It’s just a small favor. You’re being too kind, haha.”After smiling, she yelled inside, “Valerie, come out!”Two seconds later, a female voice sounded inside the house, “Aunt, you called me? Wait a minute.

  • Investigating a man named Trevor

    The phone call was from Leo, who quickly explained what he had discovered.The driver who had hit Albert two days ago was named Trevor Hathaway.After losing control of his car and hitting Albert, he died in another tragic car accident nearby.Of course, Elijah suspected that this was very likely not purely an accident, and the information Leo had found out proved this.Trevor’s wife and son had suddenly vanished from their apartment the day before the accident.So, Leo had targeted his investigation here to get a clear explanation from Trevor’s wife and son.Now, he finally found their whereabouts.“Elijah, do you need me to go bring these two people back so that you can question them? Their hiding place is nearby. It’s a private house near the outskirts of the city,” Leo said.Trevor wasn’t very old, so Elijah reckoned that his son must be rather young.If they suddenly brought them over, they might frighten them.Elijah thought about it and said, “Let’s go over together.”“Yes!” Le

  • A serious medical case

    “The patient’s injuries are too serious. We’ve already done our best, but it’s still very likely that he will remain bedridden forever, which is known as being in a vegetative state. Of course, if the situation turns for the better, he might still be able to regain consciousness.”The doctor comforted them helplessly and then dragged his exhausted body away.Looking at Albert lying lifelessly on the hospital bed with the ventilator and lots of tubes attached to him, Elijah felt rather sorrowful.Albert was just his family butler, and they didn’t share a very close relationship in the past. But he didn't deserve such a fate.Unfortunately, he was now in a vegetative state after the sudden car accident, and it was almost impossible for him to regain consciousness ever again.Making a decision to ensure that Albert would recover, Elijah walked out of the ward and went to a secluded area to make a call.Soon, a man on the other end asked in surprise, “Huh? I didn’t think that you’d take

  • Involved in a ghastly accident

    Layla nodded and said honestly, “Yes, apart from assassination, there are many other terrible things. As long as it’s a task that offers easy money, the organization will basically agree to it. They’re also secretly supporting a lot of powerful families and forces. Oh, right, and they also ask members to go around to solicit beautiful women and send them to powerful families and forces as social escorts used in exchange for benefits. Although I haven’t done such a thing, I’ve witnessed it several times.”As Elijah and Layla were discussing, they would have no idea that something bad was about to happen to a notable figure.At this moment in another part of the city, Albert Sanders, butler of the Augustus family, had just finished meeting with some powerful individuals in Crystal Falls in a bid to ensure that should there be a need to flee the capital, he would be able to ensure Sir Augustus safety.When he was about to leave work, he suddenly received a call from Sir Augustus who call

  • Pledging allegiance

    Layla pursed her lips, but she nevertheless said, “I don’t know how much you know about the organization, but it’s actually colossal. There is not only an enormous amount of experts, but it also has forces and branches all over the world. They’re not to be trifled with. My abilities aren’t considered extraordinary, and there are many people much better at martial arts than I am. So even the eight major families in the capital are trying their best to cooperate with the.. They don’t dare to be hostile to them either.” Looking at Elijah with a complicated expression, she said cautiously, “Going toe-to-toe against the shadow organization will bring about a huge tragedy if you’re not careful. I have to inform you about this. Actually, I’m very grateful to you for saving my life yesterday, so you don’t have to…” Before Layla could finish speaking, Elijah interrupted her. “It’s just a small organization. It’s no big deal. What I said last night still stands. If they come to me on their ow

  • It's already too late

    The pupils of the three men in black constricted, and one of them immediately yelled, “What else do you want? We won’t catch this woman today!”Elijah smiled mirthlessly. “It’s already too late.”As soon as he finished speaking, the coins in his hand immediately darted out, and the shiny metal surface of the coins reflected the panic-stricken faces of the three men trying to dodge.But the next instant, the coins accurately penetrated through the throats of these three people.Three jets of blood spurted into the air as the three men in black froze in place.A few seconds later, they collapsed onto the ground with loud thuds and could no longer move.Blood gradually spread across the ground with an intense iron odor.Layla sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the corpses on the ground. All of them were killed in seconds!It was incredible!Layla’s jaw dropped as she looked at Elijah in disbelief. She moved her lips, but she couldn’t say a single word.The power of this man in front
