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 Jay dumbly nodding in response. After barely recovering from his shock, Jay 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 Jay 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 we

    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, Elijah 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 ti

    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

    Mia had to grow up quickly because of the situation in her family and she couldn't allow her younger sister to suffer the same fate, so for her sake… she had to do as Mr. Murray wanted.Just as she was about to start, Elijah grabbed her shoulder and helped her up. “Don't do that.”As he spoke, he looked around, taking in the faces of those in the restaurant.No one cared that this young lady was about to do something so vile with some even watching in amusement.An inherent sense of disgust arose within him as he shook his head, disappointed that society had devolved to such a level.Just then, Mr. Murray remarked. “Sir, you don't need to help her. That bitch deserves this sort of treatment else she's going to end up ruining me!”“And so you decided to treat her like an animal and force her to do such a dehumanizing thing?... Have you no sense of humanity in you?” Elijah questioned causing Mr. Murray to snort derisively.“Who are you to lecture me?... If I say she is going to clean up

    The pupils of the three men in black constricted, and one of them immediately yelled, “What else do you want? We won’t catch this woman today!”Elijah smiled mirthlessly. “It’s already too late.”As soon as he finished speaking, the coins in his hand immediately darted out, and the shiny metal surface of the coins reflected the panic-stricken faces of the three men trying to dodge.But the next instant, the coins accurately penetrated through the throats of these three people.Three jets of blood spurted into the air as the three men in black froze in place.A few seconds later, they collapsed onto the ground with loud thuds and could no longer move.Blood gradually spread across the ground with an intense iron odor.Layla sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the corpses on the ground. All of them were killed in seconds!It was incredible!Layla’s jaw dropped as she looked at Elijah in disbelief. She moved her lips, but she couldn’t say a single word.The power of this man in front

  • Did I say you could leave?

    “Punk, report your name! Who exactly are you?” The man in black held his bleeding right wrist pierced by the coin while clenching his teeth and glowering at Elijah.Elijah raised his eyebrows.Most people would be overwhelmed with immense pain when they received such an injury, and very few would be able to remain so calm and only let out a short cry of pain at the start.This was enough to show that he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person.Elijah guessed that these people probably came from the same organization as Layla did.However, Layla suddenly wanted out of the organization for some reason, but they weren’t willing to let her go, so they sent people to capture her.As for the chief these men in black had mentioned, Elijah reckoned that he was probably the head of one of the organization’s branches.Elijah glanced at them calmly and said in a frigidly composed tone, “You’re not qualified to know who I am! You just need to remember that if you still don’t get lost in a minute, yo

  • Layla

    A wave of unusual footsteps suddenly rang out all around, and several people clad in black suddenly appeared and surrounded Layla.“Hah, Layla Al'Ghul, where else do you want to run off to now? You’ve made us look for you for such a long time. You’re really something!”Layla’s expression changed drastically, and she immediately put her guard up.“You people are really everywhere! I’ve already told you before that I’ve already quit. I have nothing more to do with you guys!” Layla hollered with a cold expression.“Hah, you want to quit just like that? Dream on! The chief has already instructed us to tell you that he will give you another chance if you come back with us obediently. If you don’t know any better, the only thing you’ll face is death!” the leader, a man clad in black, said coldly.“Give up! I won’t go back there even if I die!” Layla yelled furiously through gritted teeth.“Hmph, since you’re so stubborn, prepare to die!” The leader issued an order, and five people around hi

  • Hold it right there!

    Alice glanced at Elijah. “Who's that?”“Stay here.” Elijah remarked as he stepped out.The woman was none other than one of the assassins that had tried to kill Celeste. At the time, Elijah had let her off in the end because she held a special sword.He had merely knocked it out of her hand and confiscated it.He didn’t expect this woman to come after him to ask for the blade. “I’ve already told you the last time we met that those who work for evil are not worthy of owning that sword! Get lost, or I can’t guarantee that I’ll let you off this time!” Elijah roared angrily.The woman in black stayed silent for two seconds before walking toward Elijah. “My grandfather left this sword behind for me. You must return it to me!”Light shone on her face, revealing her features.The last time they met, she had been wearing a mask, concealing her face completely.But this time, her face was not covered, and Elijah could tell that she was probably around 27 or 28 years old.She wasn’t very pret

    With that, Elijah turned to Denise. “Happy?”Denise nodded in slight embarrassment. “There was no need for that.”“You were being maltreated. There's no way I'd allow my daughter's benefactor go through such.”Then, Elijah turned to Celeste and said. “Her name is Denise, and she once saved my daughter.”Celeste was greatly surprised.She thought that there might be some other relationship between the beautiful Denise and Elijah.But they didn’t expect that Denise had saved Claire.It was no wonder that Elijah had helped her just now and had even forced Taylor to slap herself ten times in the face in order to help her get justice.Celeste’s heartstrings, which were tensed up, suddenly eased up as a smile bloomed on her face.“So you once saved Claire. That’s great!” Celeste said smilingly as she held Denise’s hand.Denise felt a little embarrassed. “Actually… I didn’t help Claire with anything. I’m not really considered her savior.”Elijah said firmly, “You helped Claire, and you did i

  • Bullying the bully

    The restaurant lobby wasn’t that large, and their conversation was soon heard clearly by the onlookers, who were waiting for the matter to develop further.“Who exactly is this young man? Celeste Ainsworth is on his side, and she doesn’t mind going against Miss Taylor for this young man!”“I don’t know, but I reckon he must be someone with an incredible identity! No wonder he insisted on confronting Sparda and Miss Taylor. It turns out he really has what it takes to do so!”“Hehe, do you guys think Taylor Baylor will slap herself? Just look at how arrogant she was. Now, she’s finally defeated. I’m so happy!”“Hahaha, why don’t we have a bet? Let’s see if Miss Taylor will slap herself or not.”“Shh, shut up! Keep your volume down. Be careful they might take revenge on you! You’re not like that young man who has the power to go against the Baylors!”All sorts of whispering spread to Taylor.She was so enraged that her face flushed, and she felt a strong urge to nab these gloating people

  • Either you do it or I will

    As one of the most expensive restaurants in the county, the Wolf Restaurant had a plethora of carefully chosen hardware and facilities.For example, although the dining tables in the lobby weren’t as good as the mahogany tables in the luxurious private rooms on the top floor, they were made of high-grade solid wood.Even if someone ground the blade of a sharp knife against the tables, there wouldn’t be obvious traces.But Elijah actually left an almost two-centimeter deep palm-shaped dent in the table with his hand. How terrifying must his strength be?!He was just like a martial arts expert of action moves, for he had impeccable martial arts that were just too exaggerated!Taylor, who was right in front of the table, gasped in horror and turned pale when she saw the obvious palm print on the table.She staggered backward in horror and grabbed the pretty boy she had brought with her tightly as if she had found a straw to clutch at.But the pretty boy was extremely timid and cowardly e

    But the punishment wasn’t over yet because he had made outrageous threats to crush all of Elijah’s bones.So now, it was his turn to bear the consequences of this.With several more cracking sounds, the few elite bodyguards pinning Sparda onto the floor crushed all the bones in his body except for his skull and spine.At this moment, Sparda couldn’t even scream, and his body was drenched in cold sweat, looking as though he had been fished out of water.His underlings didn’t escape the punishment either.Each of them had one of their legs broken and was dragged to the entrance of the restaurant.After the bodyguards threw all these people out of the restaurant, Celeste carefully asked Elijah, “Elijah, those people have all been taken care of. Do you think this is fine?”Elijah nodded casually.Sparda and his underlings were crooks who often got up to malicious misdeeds, so they deserved this fate.But… there was still another person.Elijah suddenly looked at Taylor, who immediately be

All the people in the lobby on the first floor of the Wolf Restaurant were astonished and fell silent.There was instantly dead silence in the lobby!The cold sweat on Sparda’s face immediately trickled down.As long as his brains were working fine, he’d be able to figure out instantly that he had definitely offended the wrong person this time!Elijah wasn’t someone he could afford to provoke at all!“You just said that you were going to break my limbs and make me kneel on the floor and be
