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

    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

    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

    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

    “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!.

    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

    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

    With that, she reluctantly let go after which Elijah walked over to stand before Captain Martinez, shoving aside the latter's presence to establish his own. Captain Martinez glared at him but found himself unable to do anything else. He could tell that it would be child's play for Elijah to force him to his knees so as much as he wished to deal with Elijah, he could only swallow his annoyance and stay calm for now. Once an opportunity presented itself, Captain Martinez swore to not let it pass him by. “Let's go.” Captain Martinez gritted his teeth as he remarked. “Cuff him.” Two of his men stepped forward, feeling rather tense. Elijah didn't make things difficult for them, stretching his arms out so they could place handcuffs on his wrists. “Come on, let's be on our way.” Elijah led the way only to be met with a peculiar sight outside. A series of cocking sounds erupted as Leo and his agents surrounded Captain Martinez and his company, prepared to fire should they o

    Alice stood up and said calmly, “What did I do wrong? Why should I apologize to you?”Justus didn’t expect Alice to have the guts to contradict him, and his face turned extremely gloomy. “My wife is your elder no matter what. Not only do you not have any respect for her, but you even humiliated her in front of all the guests. And now, you dare not admit your mistake? Is this how Olivia raised you?”Alice retorted coldly, “How did I humiliate her? She borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from our family and never mentioned a single thing about paying us back. I just asked her to return the money. You call that humiliating her?”Justus sneered and roared, “Lies! The Carlsons are a big family and the Carlson Corp. alone is worth hundreds of millions! How can we possibly owe your family tens of thousands?”Refusing to show any weakness, Alice said calmly, “Yeah, that baffles me too. Your family is so rich. Why did you still take money from us and refuse to return it?... I thought about i

  • A tremendous disgrace

    Seemingly having woken up from a dream, Dahlia raised her head before quickly lowering it again to cover up. “I’m fine, Dad. I… I just didn’t sleep well last night. That’s all.”Mark’s wife, Tina, who was standing at the side and greeting the guests, immediately said, “Dahlia, I think you’re just too kindhearted. You treat them as your cousins, but they insulted and humiliated your mother in front of the rest of our relatives! If I were you, I wouldn’t be able to stomach this at all!”Justus’s face immediately turned dark. “What exactly is going on?”Although he didn’t like Glenda, he hadn’t divorced her yet, and she was representing the Carlsons as well.So he wondered just who had the guts to humiliate her in public.Dahlia bit her lower lip aggrievedly but still chose to stay silent.But Tina refused to let go of this opportunity and hurriedly griped, “Olivia’s daughters just openly humiliated Glenda and called her out for refusing to repay her loans. They spoke so callously and ev

    “Honey, you’re finally here!” A voice of surprise suddenly sounded.It was Glenda, who had scurried out of the hotel ashamedly just now. When she saw the middle-aged man, she immediately scrambled toward him from a café beside the hotel gleefully.She initially thought that her husband was going to stand her up again today and go have a rendezvous with his mistress instead.But she didn’t expect him to do her the favor of coming to attend her nephew’s wedding.When she thought of how she had gotten bullied by Alice, Glenda wanted to complain to her husband.The middle-aged man was none other than Glenda’s husband, Justus Carlson, who was Dahlia’s father and Sir Carlson’s son.He pushed Glenda, who was about to complain to him, away with disgust and said with a look of annoyance, “If my father hadn’t told me that a big shot was coming here today, I wouldn’t have bothered to attend the wedding at all.”It was just the wedding of a young descendant of the Clements, which he wouldn’t have

  • A thick skinned woman

    At this moment, the guests who witnessed the whole process began discussing it.“What an entertaining show! Didn’t Glenda say that she’s married into the Carlson family and couldn’t have possibly borrowed money from Alice and the Wesens? Now she’s contradicting herself!”“So it’s true that she borrowed money and refused to repay it. This woman is so thick-skinned! She was just denying it moments ago and claiming that that young lady is crazy about money. But as soon as she received the lawyer’s letter, her attitude changed drastically. How shameless!”“That’s right. And she even called her niece a bitch and slandered her for giving sexual favors in exchange for high positions in their companies. If I had such a relative who dared to slander my daughters and made up such rumors, I’d definitely chop their head off!”“Ah, poor girls. They were kind enough to lend so much money to Glenda Clement, but not only did she refuse to repay the money, but she even insulted them in public. This is

  • An overbearing aunt

    The female lawyer’s tone was flat with barely any emotion, but it caused an uproar among the crowd.Things had actually escalated to the point that a legal letter had been issued.In that case, it seemed that it was true that Glenda hadn’t repaid the money she owed Alice!Holding the legal letter in her hand, Glenda almost fainted and fell backward in exasperation.She never thought that Alice would actually hire a lawyer and send her a legal letter to warn her! “What… What evidence do you have to prove that I owe you money? If you don’t have concrete proof, that makes it a false accusation, and I can counter-sue you!” Glenda shouted ferociously.Alice sneered. “Surely you haven’t forgotten what happened when you borrowed money from me, have you? When you borrowed the fifty thousand from me, you wrote an IOU, and I can produce it as evidence when need be. Also, although there’s no IOU for the thirty thousand my mother lent you, there’s a bank transfer record, and we can just retrieve

  • Taking a stand

    “Okay, okay, that’s certainly fine. Your aunt and uncle are your closest relatives, and they didn’t mean to say what they said just now, so don’t take it to heart.” Olivia immediately promised on their behalf.“Trust you to say that they didn’t mean to…” Alice was indignant and wanted to say something, but Elijah immediately interrupted.“Alice, forget it.”Hearing this, Alice could only keep quiet in a disgruntled manner. “Fine, I’ll listen to you.”Seeing that Alice and Madison had compromised, Glenda gibed with a triumphant expression on her face. “Hah, he’s just a good-for-nothing, yet you’re treating his words like a royal edict. I merely criticized him, and you started lashing out at me. How amusing!”Alice was already planning to ignore them, but she didn’t expect Glenda to be so overbearing.She immediately retorted, “Haha, it’s even more amusing that some people actually have the cheek to mock others when they refuse to pay back the money they owe!”Glenda immediately flew in

  • A good mother indeed

    Alice sneered and was about to speak again, but her uncle Mark suddenly walked up to her and said softly, “Alice, it’s your cousin’s big day today. For my sake, let’s talk about these matters in private!”Alice looked at Mark and shook her head coldly.Alice had already saved Mark and Glenda from enough embarrassment yesterday.But when Glenda scolded them just now, Mark didn’t come forward to stop her.Now that she had merely clapped back at Glenda once, Mark intervened and asked her to settle the matter in private.Why should she agree to it?Alice said coldly, “Uncle Mark, the two villas belonging to the Johnsons were built with the money you guys took from my mother. We’ll put aside the villa that Grandpa and Grandma are staying in and just consider it as Mom’s act of filial piety toward them. But shouldn’t you return us the money for the villa you and your son are living in? You’re a man, after all, Uncle Mark. It doesn’t seem reasonable for you to be taking money from your siste

  • Don't spout nonsense!

    All of a sudden, almost everyone had their curiosity piqued by the handsome and noble-looking man.Alice stared at him in shock, seemingly slipping into a trance too.Beside her, Madison widened her eyes in shock while asking with uncertainty, “Is that… Elijah?”Although she saw him almost every single day during the past few months, she almost didn’t dare to admit that he was Elijah.“Daddy, you’re finally here!” When Claire turned around and saw him, she leaped into his arms in pleasant surprise. He caught her steadily.Seeing the gentle and familiar gaze in Elijah’s eyes when he was looking at Claire and Alice, Madison finally dared to believe that the stunning man in front of her who exuded the aura of a domineering CEO was really Elijah.More importantly, Elijah would usually only dress in ordinary, low-key clothes and didn’t care much about his image apart from making sure that he looked neat and tidy.However, not only was he extremely refined and elegant today, but he even del

  • A fool forever

    Alice felt that her ears were marred by what she heard!She didn’t want to bring up these shameful things at first, but Glenda just had to act like a mad dog and kept nitpicking on her.Glenda’s expression instantly changed!She had known for a long time about her husband’s affair. In fact, she had kicked up a fuss about it in the beginning, but all she got in return was a heartless reply from Jessie—”I lost my feelings for you a long time ago. If you can’t stand it, let’s get a divorce, and you’ll get lost from the Carlson family immediately!”How could she bear to leave the Carlson family? They were at least a second-tier family, which was much better than the Johnsons. If she divorced Jessie, what would life be like for her in the future?So she had no choice but to force herself to turn a blind eye to his affair and curb her anger while pretending like she wasn’t aware of the existence of his mistress.But Jessie’s mistress was getting more and more overboard. She wasn’t willing t
