Alice's decision was a no-brainer, as she replied. “I accept Grandpa. Thank you.”Mr. Wesen chuckled as Alice embraced him before hurrying over to Elijah's side.“Did you hear that?... We won!” Alice said excitedly with Elijah nodding.“Indeed, we did.”As Alice and Elijah celebrated, others could only look on with complicated looks on their faces.Naturally, they weren't happy that Elijah would be staying, but they had no choice but to accept him unless they wished to go against Mr. Wesen, which would surely not end well for them.***Meanwhile, at the Roland family villa, the air was dense with tension as members of the family gathered in the main meeting hall to discuss the current situation.As it was, the only thing keeping them out of bankruptcy was the little savings that had been kept aside for rainy days.One wrong move and they would be completely ruined.To think that they had lost both their wealth and their patriarch in the space of a few days.“It's not my fault. Alice W
As Elijah and his men marched towards the Leroy family manor, Steven sat waiting in the grand hall alongside several elders of the family.Exuding a cold aura, Steven had made enough preparations to ensure that if Elijah dared to show his face, he would never return.“Would that fool dare to come here to find trouble with us?” one of the Leroy family elders remarked with another calmly replying.“I doubt he would be that dense.” “The fact that he dared to capture Aiden, the heir to this family already shows that he is dense enough to do anything. But if he dares to show his face, I will be the one to take his worthless life, that is a promise!”“Indeed. We will use him as an example to make sure that no one else would dare to go against us.” Just then, Steven made a declaration. “Today, we'll use the fool that dared to take my son captive to show everyone in Crystal Falls that the Leroy family should not be underestimated.”Just as everyone was about to cheer, they all paused as the
“Who are you?” Steven asked in a hoarse tone, his body trembling as he stared at Elijah who was standing over him.Covered in the blood of his enemies, Elijah appeared like a bloodthirsty god of war, his eyes radiating a chill like none other.If not for his appearance, one might mistake him as not a human, but a monster. Staring at such a person, Steven felt such primal fear that it left him dazed.Looking around to find that he was the last one left, he knew that the Leroy family was finished.Not only had he failed to destroy Elijah, but he had ended up leading his family to destruction instead.It wasn't even a battle and was, instead, a one-sided slaughter.Why had he been so adamant about saving a foolish son like Aiden?... He could have gathered many more.That was when he understood that this battle was not because he wanted to save Aiden, but because of his ego that Elijah had bruised so thoroughly.He wished to teach Elijah a lesson only to be the one on the receiving end.
Elijah wasn't too bothered that Steven had sent the women and children away as he wouldn't have harmed them if they were present.That was the reason he had given Steven seven days to prepare, so he would send away the liabilities to avoid any complications.Of course, there was the possibility that those survivors would come back for revenge with the family Steven had appealed to backing them but that would be the same as those people signing their death warrants.Elijah could allow them to escape, but returning would leave him no choice but to execute them.In any case, he remarked. “Thank you for letting me know but there's no reason to worry.”“I see.” Dick nodded in understanding.He'd only told Elijah about the survivors because he thought Elijah would want to go after them since they posed a certain amount of risk, but that alone was a foolish thought.As the King of the North and the War God of Avalon, who would be foolish enough to go after him?... And even if they did come,
“Whoa, what's going on?... I thought the park shut down?... Now it's opening for them?”“This makes no sense, though. I don't mind considering I got my money back.”“Guys, I just had an insane thought. What if the entire park was shut down because of them?”“Hah, are you crazy?... That's not possible. Do you think the owners of FunCity can be moved so easily?”As the people murmured amongst themselves, curious to know who the owners of the car were and why the park was shut down, they soon scattered, returning to their vehicles to take their leave.Finally, Elijah stepped out of the car, wearing a plain tee and a pair of jeans, while Alice sported a sundress, and Claire also wore a sundress with flower patterns.A few of those who saw them in the parking lot immediately became curious as they inquired amongst themselves.“Who could that guy be?.... Wait, isn't that Ms. Alice, the current general manager of Wesen Group?... Who is the man and child with her?”“I think that's her husband
“You should close your mouth, a fly might get in.” He remarked with Lee dumbly nodding in response.After barely recovering from his shock, Lee had to admit that Elijah's skill was top-notch.He handed over the panda while inquiring if Elijah had ever thought about joining the army, a question which was met with a resounding no.Then Elijah glanced at Claire and handed over the panda as he remarked. “Here you go, a cute stuffed panda for a cute young lady.”“Yay!” Claire celebrated as she took the stuffed panda. “Daddy's the best.”“If you say so, then it must be true.” Elijah shamelessly remarked earning a side eye from Alice.Elijah met her gaze and smiled sheepishly while Lee watched on, still struggling to understand how Elijah was a better shot than he was.***Time spent at the amusement park went better than expected.After hanging over the stuffed panda to Claire, a gesture that brought a bright smile to her face, Elijah led the family to where the go-karts were parked.There,
After roughly two hours of driving, they arrived at the skydiving range with quite a few planes already prepped and ready to go. Having already made preparations before now, the Silva family were warmly received by the owner of the range who recommended their best pilot and skydiving instructor to take charge of their experience. “I'm Cole, I'll be your pilot, and this is Anderson; he'll be your skydiving instructor.” A dark-skinned man with an amiable smile intoned while flanked by a blonde-haired man who nodded acknowledgment. Satisfied that they didn't go overboard with their treatment for him, Michael was able to focus entirely on enjoying the experience. Anderson went ahead to give them a brief tutorial and how things were done, from the attire they'd have to wear to how to use a parachute and breathing exercises to help with the jump. By the time the tutorial was over, an hour and a half had gone by. Thankfully, Alice was a quick learner, and this wasn't the first t
Alice was stunned as she was familiar with the name Felton due to how big it was in the real estate business.As it was, Silver Sparrow was one of the top five largest real estate companies in the city with connections all over the country.Their owners, the Felton family, were hardly ever in town and always maintained a low profile, not bothering to make themselves known.Of course, not all of them were like that as Jeffery had become the poster boy of Silver Sparrow since his arrival in the city three years ago.Though he was considered a playboy who only knew how to party, he somehow managed to push Silver Sparrow to new heights, allowing them to be able to compete with companies like Gold Lake in a few years.For Alice, finding out that her husband was connected to such a figure left her feeling suspicious about his true identity.She'd tried a few times to ask him about it, but he always brushed it off with jokes, and when she tried to research on her own, she would always be met
Letting out a sigh, Elijah decided not to push the matter. The Ghoul King glared at Elijah as he bellowed. "You haven't seen the last of me!"Elijah didn't even offer a response as he gave him a perfunctory glance before turning to leave, causing the Ghoul King to feel even more humiliated at being treated as less than an insect."Ah!" He screamed out as Thomas ordered his men to arrest the terrorists, taking them all into custody before they left the scene.Starting from tonight, tales of Elijah Silva's bravery would be told for weeks to come.It was the advent of a great hero in Crystal Falls.***After dealing with the Ghoul King, Elijah left the White Tiger King to handle the collateral damage and also to ensure that the press didn't make too much noise about what had happened.This was to prevent Elijah from becoming too much of a central figure as that would draw too much attention to him and also, to prevent others like the Ghoul King from realizing that their plans had failed
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
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
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
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
“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
“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
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
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
