CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONE“You should have left when you had the chance!” The wolf guard growled at him, and without warning, he attacked, spinning his spear while he took a combat stance.Elias charged as well, and as soon as the wolf guard attempted a strike at him with his spear, he lowered his height and sank his foot into his belly.While the guard was still staggering backward, Elias ran at him, delivering kicks that sent him thudding to the ground.He grabbed his spear, and then he pierced it into his belly, draining his vitality at once.At that moment, the other guard charged to avenge the death of his cohort.As he ran, he threw his spear at Elias , aiming for his chest.But he missed, and as soon as Elias had regained his balance after dodging the spear, he growled at him, grabbing the other spear plunged into the first guard.“You shouldn’t have done that.” He snarled, withdrawing the dagger with a little effort.He held onto it with a tight grip right in the middle, allo

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWO“Surprising, isn’t it?” Elias broke his silence after a while, his eyes glaring at the Wolf King.He paused for a while, taking two steps forward.“Where is the boy?” He asked, his voice dripping with so much impatience.“You are not going to find him!” Damon growled at him, his eyes sparking with both annoyance and tension.He tried to fight off the cringe that gripped him, but it was too intense for him to handle.“Leave this place, at once!” He pointed to the exit, his eyes burning with annoyance.Elias took a deep breath, taking two extra steps forward. “Not without the boy.” He said with an angry tone, growling inwardly.“Just hand him over, Damon. Don’t make this more difficult for yourself. Hand the boy over or I will kill you.”Damon gulped down noisily, his eyes reflecting the terror that was buried deep inside them, inflicted on him by Elias ’s words.His fear began to linger until he felt a raw energy surging inside him.He looked up, and then he c

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THREELewis gasped, and believing that there were still more wolf men around, he ran out of the cave before Elias , but he was forced to stop, having nowhere in mind to go.As soon as he heard the sound of Elias’s feet walking out of the cave, he turned to look at him, his eyes sparking with curiosity.“I don’t know where we are going.”“This way.” Elias pointed, and together with the boy, he left for the first mountain.When they finally arrived, he looked up at the mountain, and then he began to march toward it, leaving the boy behind.“Are you going to climb that mountain?” Lewis asked, unable to keep the thought to himself.Elias nodded without looking back, increasing his pace.Lewis gasped, and then he took three steps forward, looking up at the high mountain.“How are you even going to climb up there? that’s way too high!” His voice was laced with concern, and slowly, he returned them to Elias , demanding an answer.Elias chuckled softly, and then he to

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FOURElias protected the plant, keeping it safe inside his jacket.Then he looked around him, and he could see that some of the rocks were beginning to roll toward him, aiming to stone him to the ground.It was obvious that all of this was because of the plant he had taken, seeming like it was a life force for it.Elias took a deep breath, and then he began to climb down the mountain, holding still with all his might.The shaking had made the mountain slippery, but Elias knew that even the slightest mistake could end his life.He took a deep breath while he was still hanging just below the apex of the mountain, and as soon as he had gotten a grip on himself, he continued, speeding down the mountain.He was fast, so fast that Lewis marveled while looking up at him.As soon as he landed on the ground, he turned to the boy who was squatted by a corner, covering his face.“Come on, boy! Let’s get out of here!” He said loudly, and as soon as Lewis ran to him, he grabbe

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIVEElias was about to walk to a man he saw dishing out instructions when one of the guards stopped him, pushing his chest.“Do you wish for death?” The guard blurted, looking down at him.“Leave this place before I tell my men to beat you up. You are already looking like you were manhandled. But trust me, I am going to make sure that you get a worse experience.”Elias nodded, a wry smile all over his face.“I was really hoping that this was not going to be as hard as you are making it to be. You are the one who wishes for death.”Laughter erupted into the air, especially from the other guards who heard what he said.Some of the road users who seemed to be hopeful that he was going to be able to help with the situation instantly lost faith in him even without giving him a chance.But that didn’t seem to bother him.Elias took a deep breath, and then he cleared his throat, looking the guard in the eyes.“I have a sick child who needs me. Could you be kind enough t

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIXElias felt an intense rage surging through his nerves.He slowly took down the phone, and then he ended it.The moment he returned it to his pocket, he took a deep breath, turning to the head of the guard.“I beg you, my friend. Ask your men to leave the road so that we can drive through.” He said with the most polite tone he could think of, feeling the rage burning inside him.He felt his chest tightening, and wished that he wasn’t going to have to do anything violent.He remained silent but impatient, watching as the guard drew closer to him until there was just about two inches space between them.The guard snorted, his eyes glowing with arrogance and disdain.He looked at Elias again, and with a low tone, he blurted,“What if I say no?”Slap! Punches!Another slap! And a kick that sent him to the ground, knocking him out instantly.Elias roared, grabbing the two guards who had tried to get to the man hiding behind him.He jammed their heads together, and w

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENElias looked down at the boy, and then he turned to look at Tonia.The moment he saw that Tony was telling the truth, he let go of the Doctor at once and hurried to the bed. “Tonia? Can you hear me?” He called out to the girl, watching as she groaned, her eyes flickering.She looked at Elias, and then at the Doctor.“Where am I?” She asked, her voice low and burdened.She couldn’t see her brother because he was standing right behind Elias, covered by his tall frame.“You are in a hospital, Tonia.” The Doctor finally broke the silence, looking her in the eyes.“Hospital?”“Yes, Tonia. You were sick, but now you are better.” The Doctor spoke calmly, looking at the teenage girl with a smile all over his face.Tonia didn’t seem to be wary of the Doctor just like she was wary of Elias.She looked at the latter, and then she cleared her throat without taking her eyes off him.“Who is he?” She asked, pointing at Elias.“He is our father.” Tony appeared from behind

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHT As soon as Talia saw Elias, she made a quick move, heading toward him with staggering steps.Elias clenched his right fist, and with his left hand, he grabbed the boy, pulling her to his back.“Stay close, boy. Let me handle this.”Tony gladly agreed, glaring at his mother as she approached.Their eyes met, but Talia was too ashamed to even say a word.She looked away from him when she could no longer handle the feeling that had gripped her.When she faced Elias, her steps decreased, seeing the anger that was flaming inside his eyes.“I am not here to fight, I promise.” She said, but that didn’t sound like her in any way.She looked completely different just like her tone sounded nothing like her.“What do you want?” Elias asked coldly, looking her in the eyes.His eyes had scoured the entire place in search of guards, but there was no sign of any.“I am alone, Elias.” Talia said as soon as she realized the reason why Elias’s eyes were moving from one corne

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINE Talia grunted loudly, her body shaking violently.“Talia!” Elias gasped, realizing that she had been shot at.He held onto her, and soon the blood from the gunshot at her back touched his hands, causing him to gently bring her down.Talia’s breath was shaky, her heart pumping blood sporadically like it was its last.“I don’t want to die.” She muttered, gagging the blood that dripped from her mouth.She had tears in her eyes, her body falling to the ground.“Stay with me..” Elias grunted, holding her still.He went down on one knee, and then he looked around, in search of the shooter.He gently dropped her to the ground, her arms sprawling all over the ground.“Who did this?” Elias looked around again, scouring all over the premises in search of the assailant.But he couldn’t see anyone, and soon, Tony alighted from the car, staring at his mother.“Go back into the car, Tony!” Elias ordered, but the boy was too flustered to heed to his words, staring at his m

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TEN Elias took a deep breath, staring at the shooter with wide eyes.“Who are you?” he asked, but that didn’t seem like the only question he needed an answer to.He was equally wondering why the shooter didn’t seem afraid of him, even when it was obvious that he knew who he was.Elias took two steps forward, and then he withdrew his dagger, threatening to make use of it, yet the shooter refused to flinch.His burning eyes were still flaming, his grip on the gun tightened, seeming like he was about to reach for the trigger.Elias took a deep breath, and then he let it out slowly.“I am not going to ask again.” He growled, piercing his gaze into the shooter’s eyes.“Who sent you?” He asked impatiently, prepared to make use of his dagger.“I am going to show you who I am.” The shooter said calmly, and without delay, he pulled off the mask, revealing his face.Elias was taken aback the moment he saw the familiar face that was burned halfway.“You?” He recognized the
