After noticing the change in everyone's expression, Theresa spoke up. “Elijah Silva’s outstanding resume is the reason I accepted his offer to purchase the controlling shares of our company. He may be unknown but it remains that he is competent enough!”At this juncture, even if they didn't want to accept the change, the executives had no choice in the matter.The record of this Elijah fellow was just too solid to fault.“Now then, with the appearance of a new owner, there are bound to be some changes,” Theresa said. “The first change is that Atlas will no longer be connected to the Augustus family.”“What?”“This is unwise!”“The Augustus family is the reason we are where we are today.”The executives quickly protested, expressing their views but Theresa wasn't even moved as she replied.“This is the decision of the new owner and if you don't like it, take it up with him. However, I must warn you. Due to his exploits in the North, he is a close friend of the King of the North, so it
The Almighty God of War Returns Harrison's dirty scheme
As the atmosphere in the conference hall turned quite tense with everyone swayed by Harrison's perfectly crafted scheme, Theresa spoke up in a bid to defend herself from the horrible accusations levied against her.“These documents are fake. I and Mister Silva are innocent of the crimes you are accusing us of!” Theresa remarked, tearing apart the documents she was holding. She had given up everything while working for Atlas, doing her best to ensure that it didn't fall under her leadership.This was precisely because the former owner, Elijah’s now-deceased mother, was the reason she had managed to finish business school.She had paid for Theresa's fees and promised her a job at the company if she did well in her studies.That was at a time when Theresa was all alone in the world, contemplating suicide.She was saved and she had sworn on that day to pay back what had been done for her a thousandfold.This was why even when it seemed as though Atlas was on its way to falling apart, she
The Almighty God of War Returns Break a finger
Before Harrison could even offer a response, Elijah bellowed. “Thomas!”Elijah hadn't planned to act violently towards employees of his mother's company; after all, they were like family to him, but at this juncture, he had no choice.With what was at stake, he had to do what was needed as he emitted a terrifying aura that caused everyone to back away in fright.Thomas walked in at that moment, accompanied by two other subordinates who immediately apprehended Harrison, pinning him down like a criminal with the latter struggling to no avail. “What are you doing right now?... How can you do this?... I am an executive at this company and I demand to be treated with respect!” Harrison said in a panic while still struggling.Unfortunately, Thomas didn't even act like he heard him as he handcuffed him and then kept him down.Realizing that Thomas wasn't going to let him go, Harrison tried to appeal to Elijah. “Mr. Silva, what is the meaning of this?... We are in a civilized society yet you
The Almighty God of War Returns Vindicated
By the time Thomas had broken two more fingers, Harrison could no longer take any more of the pain as he gasped for air while pleading for mercy. “Please stop, I'll tell you everything, just stop!”Hearing this, Elijah gestured for Thomas to stay his hand as he replied. “Go ahead and don't even try to make things any worse for yourself, else you can forget getting any form of mercy from me.”Harrison was thoroughly frightened by Elijah so he didn't hesitate to spill his guts. “It's Larry Higgins, he's the one that instigated me to accuse you and Theresa.”Elijah frowned as he immediately recognized the surname.The Higgins were the same family based in the capital that had taken in the Leroy family survivors.They also shared a strange relationship with the Augustus family with Elijah guessing that they were subservient to them. “Why did he tell you to do that?” “To tarnish your reputation as well as Theresa's own as well so the both of you won't be able to perfectly lead the compan
The Almighty God of War Returns Accident
Thankfully, Theresa was a good manager and all he needed to do was support her.“Yes. Unfortunately, not all the executives made an appearance but it doesn't matter. They'd get a memo.”“In that case, I'll be taking my leave then.”“Alright, sir.”With that, Elijah swiftly made his way to the first floor of the building.Meanwhile, outside the building, a convoy drove into the car park.As the cars parked, men in suits stepped down before rushing to the car at the center of the convoy.Opening the door, a man wearing a red suit with a condescending air about him got out.He was wearing a pair of sunshades which he took off before making his way into the building.The man in the red suit, made his way to the building entrance accompanied by his entourage, causing the security at the door to immediately move out of the way, unnerved by his approach.The suited man sneered as he pushed the doors and stepped inside.Meanwhile, inside the building, two employees having just left the confer
The Almighty God of War Returns I'll give you ten minutes
“You want to do this?” Elijah inquired.Timothy sneered. “Are you feeling regret now?... In the world, only those with power have the right to play the hero. An insignificant fool like yourself would only end up with bruises when you overstep your boundaries.”“Is that so?”“Don't worry, I'm teaching you a valuable lesson,” Timothy remarked scornfully before adding as he grabbed Elijah's shoulder aggressively. “Now kneel or suffer the consequences of going against me.”“Alright, that's enough.” Elijah formed a fist and punched Timothy in the face, catching him completely off guard.The other guards moved to restrain him but it was quick work to send them flying, making it look like they were children challenging a grown man.Snorting derisively, Elijah walked up to Timothy who was now staring at him with fear in his eyes.“So, you were saying something about teaching me a lesson. I don't think I've learned anything yet.” Elijah taunted causing Timothy to grit his teeth.“You bastard!.
The Almighty God of War Returns Breaking news
Elijah did not enjoy being overly violent once his opponent accepted defeat. Which was why he praised Timothy for being wise enough to take a step back when needed. There was no reason to send him to the hospital though Elijah thought him deserving of it. Regardless, it was fine as long as the fool understood the error of his ways. Timothy sold his shares without hesitation after which he was dragged out of the building along with his subordinates. It was humiliating for him but did he dare to fight against it?... Of course not. The fear of Elijah was the beginning of wisdom and he didn't dare to think that he would come out victorious should he remain stubborn. Once Timothy was gone, the reception erupted in applause as everyone praised Elijah for standing up for Maria. None of them liked Timothy but were too scared to reveal their dislike due to him being more powerful than them. However, seeing that their boss was a man willing to stand up for them, naturally, the
The Almighty God of War Returns Under arrest
Just as Elijah was about to start brainstorming ways to handle the current situation, the gatekeeper rushed inside with an ashen face. “Sir, Special Forces are at the door. They are here for you.”Before Elijah could say anything, several more people rushed inside, with most wearing standard uniforms and carrying military-issued artillery.Following that, a middle-aged man walked inside with an imposing aura.Elijah was immediately able to tell that the man was a cultivator judging from the energy about him. “You must be Elijah Silva.” The man began. “I am Captain Martinez and I am placing you under arrest. Do not resist as my men and I are allowed to use maximum force.”“No, you can't take him!” Alice cried out as she rushed to stand in front of Elijah, shielding him from Captain Martinez and his subordinates.“Miss, I advise you not to impede our actions as doing so makes you a criminal in our eyes.” Captain Martinez remarked coldly, taking a step further as he did so.Despite his

Enemies on two fronts
“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
