The Ascent of the Billionaire Son-in-Law

CHAPTER 3

At this moment, Alma sent a message. "I'm sorry, Elliott, we lost the baby." Alma's message sent shivers down Elliott's spine. He immediately called her phone. The call was quickly answered, but it wasn't Alma on the other end. It was Eddy!

"Elliott, I have good news for you. Although the child wasn't aborted, it was miscarried. Luckily, you weren't there, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to handle it, haha." "Is everything you said true?" Elliott's voice was as cold as ice.

"Of course, I had to put in a lot of effort to abort the child. As you said, no hospital in Panama would perform the procedure. But we got lucky, Alma fell and lost the baby. Let me tell you a secret, I could have caught her, but I didn't, hahaha..."

"Boom!" At that moment, Elliott was struck by lightning. His eyes erupted with an overwhelming killing intent! His body trembled violently, and with a snap, he crushed his phone! Tears streamed down his face.

He lit a cigarette and bid farewell to the unborn child. Then, he took out a seal made of a meteorite, with the two traditional characters for "War God" written on it. This was not only a seal, but also his token as the War God of the North.

There was also a black short knife made of meteorite. This knife, named the Dragon Slayer, represented the God of War and had the privilege of striking first and reporting later. Half an hour later, on the 16th floor of the Starlight Building, the headquarters of the Shalford Corporation.

Erik's assistant, struggling, delivered a package to his office. "Mr. Erik, this is your package," the sweaty assistant placed the package in front of Erik. "What is it? It's heavy." Erik asked.

"I don't know what it is. This small box weighs at least several tens of pounds," the female assistant wiped her sweat. "Hmm, you can go out now." After the assistant left, Erik curiously Opened the package. There was a black seal and a black short knife inside.

Erik frowned, who would send him such things? He picked up the seal and was surprised to find that it was so heavy, only half the size of his fist. The seal was engraved with the words "God of War". THE MIGHTY? Erik was suddenly shocked!

The Mighty God of War was a title only held by the Dragon Kingdom's God of War. In the entire Dragon Kingdom, there were only four God of Wars, each with immense power and unparalleled strength. One person could suppress thousands of troops and horses. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were gods!

This seal was the God of War's order!

His hand trembled, and the God of War's order fell on the table. He immediately picked up the black short knife. There was a fierce dragon carved on the handle of the knife, vivid and lifelike, emitting a terrifying aura. Rumor had it that this was the breath of death!

The Dragon-Slaying Sword, this is the legendary Dragon-Slaying Sword! It is said that only those who have committed heinous crimes will receive these two things, and receiving them means that someone is going to be executed!

"Boom!" Erik slumped in his chair, his bones seeming to have gone soft. Although he didn't always follow the law, he hadn't committed any heinous crimes. How could these two things be sent to him Suddenly, Erik noticed that there was also a letter inside. He quickly picked up the letter and opened it.

There were only a few short words inside. If Eddy dies, the Ermington family will survive. If Eddy doesn't die, the Ermington family will be exterminated!

Boom!

It was like a bolt from the blue!

He finally understood that it wasn't him who had committed the heinous crime, but his youngest son. These two things were meant for his son. "Emory, Eddy, come to my office..." As he called his other two sons, Erik's voice trembled with fear.

At this moment, Eddy was feeling extremely pleased with himself. Alma, who had just had an abortion and was physically weak, silently shed tears. Her heart was aching, after all, this was the first child in her life, an unborn life that was gone just like that.

She couldn't accept this reality, and she felt that she couldn't forgive herself. Just then, Erik's father called. "Dad, do you need something?"

"Where are you? Get back home right now!" Erik roared in anger. He had received the War God Order and the Dragon-Slaying Sword, which meant that Eddy was doomed to die. If he dared to disobey, the entire Ermington family would be buried with him!

"Dad, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry?" Eddy looked puzzled. He hadn't done anything to make his father angry. But Erik didn't answer him and hung up the phone directly. Eddy furrowed his brows, feeling that something big had happened.

"Alma, my dad called me. I'll go home first and come to see you tomorrow." Eddy drove his car and hurried home. At this time, Elliot was standing outside the Ermington family villa. The housekeeper opened the door and asked who Elliott was looking for. Elliott didn't say a word and walked straight in.

Erik and Emory knew about Elliott and Alma. Eddy had fallen in love with Elliott's wife and wanted to take her away. Elliott had also gone bankrupt, which was a good opportunity for Eddy to take advantage of. Erik didn't stop this from happening either.

What they didn't know was that Alma was already pregnant with Elliott's child. Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed so readily. After all, the Ermington family was considered a wealthy family and had to maintain their reputation.

When they saw Elliott walking in, the three of them were surprised. "What are you doing here?" Eddy asked with a stern face. They all thought that Elliott had come to cause trouble. "Did you receive the goods?" Elliott asked coldly.

Upon hearing this, the three men trembled with fear. How could they not be shocked when Elliott asked if they had received something at such a critical moment? "What did we receive?" Eddy asked.

"A seal and a short sword," Erik said coldly. Upon hearing this, the faces of the Ermington family turned pale. They had been guessing who sent these two things to them, but they never expected it to be Elliott!

Elliott sent the War God's Order and the Dragon Slayer Sword to them. Did this mean that Elliott wanted Eddy dead? How did Elliott manage to get his hands on these two things? What was his relationship with the War God?

"Eddy wanted to steal your wife, we know that, but it's just a small matter. If we talk it out, there shouldn't be any problem. He doesn't deserve to die," Erik said, suppressing his anger. Although they didn't take Elliott seriously, they were afraid of the War God behind him.
