Of course, Elijah knew that his work wasn't done yet as he got Larry and Clement to confess the truth behind Harrison's death as well as letting him know where they had kept his family members.Elijah had them rescued while he got the White Tiger King to come and pick up Larry and Clement for trial.Though annoyed that Elijah had turned him into a subordinate, the White Tiger King had to admit that Elijah was pretty good when it came to resolving such complicated matters.It didn't take long for the news of Harrison's suicide to be taken down and the real news shared of what had truly happened.By then, those companies that had removed their funding from Atlas couldn't help but regret acting hastily.Now, there was no medicine for regret as Atlas completely banned them, ensuring that they would never work together on future projects.Elijah returned home to reunite with his wife and child, both of whom were more than happy to have him back with them.That night, the trio slept in the

Alice didn't immediately recognize the lady approaching causing her to inquire. “I'm sorry, do I know you?”“Don't tell me you have forgotten me.” The lady said in forced enthusiasm prompting Alice to respond.“I'm sorry, not really.”“Oh my days, I guess that's what happens when a woman has to experience hardship, she starts to forget.” The lady said.Even though she tried to play it off as a casual statement, it was easy to guess that she was taking a subtle jab at Alice.“It's me, Luna Sarabia.”Alice paused, taking the time to sift through her memory before she happened upon any recollection of Luna, and in truth, it wasn't pretty.Even though she was from a prestigious family, Luna was known among several circles as a promiscuous woman who was willing to do anything as long as she got paid.There was even an incident that occurred between her and four other students that nearly got her expelled, if not that her family stepped in.After that, she was forced to withdraw and finish

As the commotion reached its peak, with customers in the store taking out their phones to record the scene while the security guards surrounded Elijah to ensure he wouldn't run away, the store manager soon arrived.There was no way she could ignore what was happening, considering it had escalated to such an extent.She'd already been informed of the situation by the salesperson who had approached Luna and Kendrick; hence, her view of the situation was skewed against Elijah and Alice.“Mr. Vaughn.” She said as she approached Kendrick.Kendrick glared at her. “What do you want?”“My name is Louisa, I'm the store manager.”“Oh, so you are the one in charge. Don't think you can escape what has happened here today. Velvet Fashions would have to explain why they allow hooligans to enter their store!”“Apologies sir, it wasn't our intention for such a thing to happen.”“Hmmph, tell that to my lawyer. You guys are going to pay for my medical bills!”“No sir, please be merciful.” Kendrick did

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

“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
