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
The Almighty God of War Returns Moral test
“You think I don't know that you are the ones responsible for the death of my parents!""Don't make false allegations, Ms. Lester, I doubt you'd be able to pay for the lawsuit that would follow if you are wrong." Philip mocked but Phoebe wasn't willing to back down."I'm going to find evidence and when I do, be prepared to pay back for everything you've done. You have done so much evil, just know that karma is not far away.""Haha, Karma?... Are you stupid?... Bullion is king in Crystal Falls. There's nothing like karma before us."Phoebe remained silent, not deeming it necessary to give a response.Her stance was already clear and her goal apparent.It was left for Philip to make his choice."You won't back down till the end, Ms. Lester.""Get out of my office.""You will regret this…""Get out!" Philip snorted as he got to his feet and left, with Phoebe barely able to restrain her anger.It had been 2 years, 2 years of constant bad luck, from losing her parents to having so much on
The Almighty God of War Returns A good deed deserves a reward
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. "Have you
The Almighty God of War Returns False accusations
“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
The Almighty God of War Returns Disowned
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
The Almighty God of War Returns Termination
“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

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
