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
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
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
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,
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
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
“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
Gilbert understood that the War God was no ordinary man and, therefore, commanded the highest level of respect due to the important position he held in the nation. Just by being close to him, Gilbert felt like a single mistake would cost him, so he didn't dare to misbehave as he waited for Elijah to respond to his greeting. “Gilbert Strong?” Elijah muttered as he put down the documents he was holding. He glanced at Gilbert as he was kneeling on the ground, prompting him to let out a sigh. “We don't do that here.” “Sir?” “Stand up.” “Yes sir.” Gilbert didn't hesitate to do as instructed, quickly rising to his feet, and even though he was sweating profusely, he did not attempt to wipe the sweat. Trembling in fear, he wondered if he had made some sort of catastrophic mistake to earn the attention of the most powerful man in the nation apart from the Emperor. Ignoring Gilbert’s tense state, Elijah remarked. “Tomorrow, my wife Alice Wesen will be visiting your company t
