Albeit unwilling, Alice had no choice but to agree with Elijah’s sincere request, considering she was hardly in an optimal state.She was bleeding, and if it wasn't tended to quickly, it could end up leaving her in a coma or, worse, dead.Elijah didn't dare to end the call as he rushed to get Thomas to go after Alice while he left to find Claire.Meanwhile, within the white van, Claire was crying profusely for her parents forcing the masked men to gag her and bind her hands and feet.Watching all this, David flashed a wicked smile. “Alice Wesen, you left me no choice. Now you can only blame yourself for what I plan to do to you and your family.”***Lord Wesen was seated in his study, his expression less than pleased as he pondered on ways to deal with Alice.As it was, he considered her a threat to his rule as head of the family.Not only was she competent but she was no longer subservient and had begun to think for herself.With the way things were going, he would soon end up unable

In a certain corner of 86, David was with a stripper who should have been enjoying his undivided attention, if not for the fact that he was worried.He should have gotten some sort of response from Malvolo but so far, he'd gotten nothing. “Damn it, why hasn't that bastard gotten back to me yet?... Don't tell me Elijah has already dealt with all of them.” David remarked, imagining the worst scenario.Gritting his teeth, he knew he had to prepare for the worst considering the sort of gamble he was making.Just then, Elijah arrived at 86 and rushed into the club only to be stopped by security.“Sorry, but you can't go in.” The security guards remarked causing Elijah’s expression to shift.Just as he'd expected, the owner of 86 hadn't been completely honest in working with him.“Get out of my way.”“Didn't you hear what we said?... We said you can't get in so leave before we teach you a lesson.”Elijah glared at the bastard. “I won't say this again; get out of my way.”“You bastard!” The

Jonathan Suarez was the vice chairman of 86 and a rather influential man in Crystal Falls. Currently, he was seated in his office, enjoying a glass of tequila while smoking a cigar and being pleasured by one of his women. He seemed to have no worries in the world, already planning how he would spend the money he'd get from selling the assets he had gotten from David. As far as he was concerned, he had nothing to fear from the God of War. Apart from the fact that it wasn't assured that the person who called him was truly the God of War, even if it happened to be him, would such a great figure come for him? Of course not! So he didn't need to bother about anything. Life was good and it was only to be better for him. “What do you think, Kelsey?... Do you think the God of War is involved in this matter?” Jonathan inquired calmly as he settled into his chair. Kelsey, taking a moment to gather her thoughts, replied. “I can't be sure.” “Hah, fine then. Since it has come to

Jonathan flinched, too scared to dare say another word after the disparaging words from Elijah.Ignoring the fool, Elijah shifted his attention back to Kelsey who was still finding it hard to grasp the implications of what Elijah was saying.“I'm contracted to Mr. Suarez.”“I'm aware.” Elijah calmly remarked. “That contract with be rendered null and void by tomorrow, won't it, Jonathan?”“Of course,” Jonathan replied his old demeanor of arrogance nowhere to be found at this point.Kelsey trembled, unable to believe that she would be free just like that.“Are you going to entrap me?” She asked worriedly while meeting Elijah's gaze.Elijah shook his head. “No, if you don't wish to keep working here, then I shall settle you with a severance fee and ensure you a settled elsewhere. That is a promise.”“Why?”“Because, unlike Jonathan, I am not one to condone corporate slavery.” Kelsey nearly choked as tears welled up in her eyes.After so long, she'd be able to live her life.“So?... What

Elijah's gut turned out to be right as it didn't take long for August to return with three trolleys. The head chef had decided to cook the meals in their presence, making for a rather intriguing show. His movements were intriguing and the aroma was enough to finally wet Alice's palate, same with Claire. Elijah felt satisfied seeing the girls so eager to devour the food. Finally, the meals were served, one after the other with Alice and Claire eating as they came along. Elijah did the same but not as quickly as them since he wasn't as hungry as they were. Once they had their fill, Elijah ordered the rest to be packaged and given to the less privileged, it wouldn't do to waste food, no matter what. August was more than happy to comply as he did as instructed. With that, the Silva family got back into the car and drove back to the house for some well-deserved rest. Unfortunately, just as they put Claire to bed, Alice got a phone call from her mom, Olivia. “Alice dear,
