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

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?...

    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

    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

    The wind whistled, causing Elijah Silva to pull his coat together while taking a final look at the campground he had long gotten used to, as well as the familiar faces that accompanied it. He clenched his jaw tightly at the sight. Even as they were all comrades, they knew that there was a significant difference between them and Elijah. Taking a deep breath, Elijah intoned. “Let's go.” He turned around and stepped onto the hatch door of the helicopter that was waiting at the side for him to board. Behind this young man, who looked no older than thirty-two, were several teams of tall, toned, and muscular men standing uniformly in nearby rows. Despite being on the verge of tears, they were standing still with their backs straight, raising their hands in unison to perform a standard and reverent military salute. It was full of enthusiasm and pride. A melancholic smile adorned Elijah's lips as he watched this, unsure of how to respond. To think that there would be a day like this

    “Finally, back on solid ground!” Thomas exclaimed as he stretched his back while glancing at Elijah who had a nostalgic look on his face while scanning the airport area.The two of them passed through the crowded Crystal Falls International Airport and casually ordered some fast food at the mall outside the airport.“Captain… sorry, I mean, Elijah, your hometown is in the capital, correct?”Elijah casually nodded in response, his gaze sweeping around, seemingly searching for someone.It had been a long time since he left Crystal Falls and now that he had just returned, there were many things for him to tend to.Just then, someone caught his eyes with the person making a gesture with Elijah repeating it to the person.Satisfied with this, the person hurried over with Thomas standing guard beside Elijah.The person was a tall muscular man in a dark coat and glasses.Elijah calmly asked. “Have you got the information?”“Just as you asked.”“Tell me.” “Miss Alice is still alive but she's

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Selecting a husband

    Albert's appearance reminded Elijah of the past that he didn't wish to remember.Back then, he was called an illegitimate child who was abandoned by his father.This caused him to be chased out of his home along with his mother who had all her assets confiscatedAfterward, his mother left the capital and brought Elijah to Crystal Falls, where she worked hard to make ends meet, and although life was tough, she managed to raise him into a proper gentleman.Unfortunately, life seemed to have other plans as she developed a terminal illness in her later years, causing her to be bedridden.At that time, Elijah had just graduated from college and his paltry income wasn't enough to foot the medical bills. Swallowing his pride, he sought help from the Augustus family only to be humiliated just like his mother, leaving him hopeless and resentful towards the family.To save his mother, he'd ended up selling one of his kidneys to raise the money for the surgery but by then, it was already too la

    “That's enough, Thomas.” Elijah calmly said, diffusing the tense situation. “But…” “I said, that's enough.” Elijah intoned yet again. “Don't let me repeat myself.” Dissatisfied as he was, Thomas heeded Elijah's command and let go of Oliver's hand, causing the latter to take several steps back in fright, same with Olivia. Alice's parents were frightened, so they didn't dare to make any sudden moves but that didn't mean they were happy to let him do as he pleased. Just then, someone spoke up. “Who's this man and why is he looking for my Alice.” Elijah glanced in his direction only to frown as the person that spoke was a man in his late twenties and though he was dressed fashionably, it was easy to tell that he was both an alcoholic and a licentious individual. “Don't worry about him, Mr. Leroy, he is unimportant.” Olivia intoned with disgust before addressing Elijah. “Look here, Mr. Leroy over there has decided to marry Alice after we have searched for a suitor for her for so lon

    Elijah tried to figure out what was happening but Alice was in too panicked a state to give him any clues. The best he could get was a name. “Who is Claire?” Elijah questioned as he called up the agent who had been investigating Alice on his orders. “She is Alice's daughter.” the man quickly replied, causing Elijah to pause. Alice has a daughter?... But who was the father? “Who's the father?” “I don't know, boss, but she is 9 years old.” Elijah frowned only for a thought to come to mind at that moment. However, he didn't dare to think too deeply as he understood that for some reason, Claire was in danger. He'd already sent Alice home with the driver so he planned on saving the girl with Thomas.

  • 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.

    “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

    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

    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
