Once inside, Elijah explained what happened, heavily embellishing the story to avoid letting them know that he was a real-life superhuman.

Still, his feat of taking on Johnny's men and surviving was enough to earn the respect of everyone present as they stared at him like a superhero.

Even Olivia, who would never admit to him being anything better than a useless fool, had to accept that her son-in-law was useful in some ways.

Meanwhile, Alice finally understood the situation, making her feel rather complicated about the whole thing.

On one hand, she couldn't deny that the experience had been nothing short of exhilarating but on the other hand, the life of her husband had been at risk.

A minute mistake and he would have died.

Was this the daily life of Elijah Silva?... She dreaded the thought that he would one day go out and never return.

Gulping nervously, she stared at Elijah who met her gaze with a warm smile, bringing calm to her nerves.

“Will you be staying for dinner?” Olivia ask

    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

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   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

    “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

    “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

    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

    Up above the Minister's villa, a reporter helicopter hovered just out of sight as those within reported the situation in the area[Breaking news: The Minister's villa is under attack by terrorists, with several dignitaries put in harm's way. 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. So far, law enforcement has done little to repel the invaders though they have succeeded in disarming bombs that the terrorists had planned to use to threaten those in the Minister's villa. With little idea of how things are going to proceed, we can only hope that Crystal Falls survives this disaster]Meanwhile, on the ground, the dignitaries and men of substance who were forced to stay in the Minister's villa began to complain."How long do we have to wait here?... What if those terrorists get tired of waiting and attack us?... Some are still even in the building right now!""What is the g

    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?... Attackers that proved difficult for law enforcement to defeat have been taken down by one man who is now en route toward an uncertain destination. Just what is going on and is this a sign of good things to

    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!... No man can dare to disrespect me and expect to survive. No, if I don't show this fool his place, he would think he was the Emperor.'"I will give you one last chance, Mr. Silva. Accept my offer or I will make you regret being born.""Just shut up and fight me already." Elijah casually said, causing the Ghoul King to go red in anger and humiliation."Good, very good. Best keep up that attitude once I'm done with you.""Don't worry, I don't plan on losing it."The Ghoul King gritted his teeth but said nothing more as he prepared to unleash his Martial Technique.'Don't worry; once I'm done with you, you'll regret ever doing all this.'With that thought, the Ghoul King attacked, forming a fist and throwing a punch once he'd reached Elijah.However, that was all… then he found himself on the ground, face first with his body aching t

    “You may call us the last thing you would see before your death, the end of the road… whatever floats your boat.” The second person said with a chuckle.With a casual thought, Elijah made a guess. “You are assassins.”“Ding ding ding looks like we have a winner.”Elijah was rather surprised that there were those in the underworld who were bold enough to go for the bounty Hacksaw had placed on his head.It seemed not everyone cared for their lives… though judging from the two individuals before him, they seemed like the kind that had little regard for life. Just as he was about to address them, there was a thunderous sound of footsteps.Elijah and the two assassins glanced back to find a group of thugs armed with machetes and steel pipes rushing in.“Hah, so you actually got some help.” one of the assassins said before adding. “Unfortunately, this won't be enough to cause us any trouble!”It was clear that the assassins didn't take the thugs seriously.Elijah raised his brows as he co

  • 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
