2024-11-07 23:03:41“Claire,” Elijah muttered as he walked back to where Thomas stood with the little girl.
Thomas didn't hesitate to hand her over with Elijah instinctively cradling like she was his child. He didn't know why but he felt like she was his kin, like his blood flowed through her veins. Even as he was a God of Slaughter and a King of War, in this moment, he found himself unable to breathe properly. Holding her tightly, almost like he was scared that she'd fall from his embrace, he muttered. “I didn't come on time. Forgive me.” After what felt like a long while, Claire woke up. “Sir.” She called out as she reached out and wiped away Elijah's tears. “Are you my dad?... But mommy said that my dad is dead, that he died on the battlefield protecting the country.” Elijah's lips quivered as he didn't know how to respond. As it was, he had so many questions so he thought it best to wait until he returned home and had a conversation with Alice. Only then would he be able to resolve the knots in his chest? Just as he was about to say something, a thunderous roar interrupted his train of thought. “How daring!” Elijah’s expression shifted as he turned to look in the direction of the person who had decided to be a bit too daring, ruining the moment. It seemed those from the audience who had run away didn't like the fact that they were spared and, instead, dared to come back with help to deal with Elijah, pointing fingers in his direction. Over a dozen security guards who worked at the Blood Cage quickly surrounded the arena while carrying cold weapons. Elijah maintained a sense of calm, even going ahead to assure Claire that everything was okay as she had begun to panic. Thomas on the other hand, didn't even bother hiding his killing intent, standing next to his brother while glaring at the fools that didn't know what was good for them. The head of the security guards snarled at Elijah. “Do you even know where you are?... How dare you cause trouble in the Blood Cage?... Do you think you can just come in here and do as you please?... Insolence!... You'd best get down on your knees and beg for mercy, else, you can forget about…” The man wasn't able to complete his threat as he screamed out in pain. Elijah didn't even need to move as Thomas sprinted into the group of security guards, sending them all flying in a few moves. The men didn't even get a chance to fight back as Thomas struck them down, leaving them bleeding profusely and suffering from broken bones on the ground. Chaos instantly erupted in the arena as Thomas continued his reign of terror while Elijah ignored the chaos around him, even shielding Claire's eyes so she wouldn't see something she shouldn't while walking toward the shattered main gate of the cage. It didn't take long before Thomas joined him outside the arena, having dealt with the troublesome elements within. Just then, Elijah got a notification causing his expression to shift. [Code Red!] [Mission Generated] [Mission: A life at stake] [Reward: 1000 Spirit Points] Before he could figure out why the system had sent a code Red, he got a call from the driver that he charged to protect Alice. “Boss, there's trouble.” “What is it?” “I tried my best but I couldn't protect Miss Alice.” “Speak clearly, what happened?” The driver quickly explained everything causing Elijah's expression to shift. On the way back to his home, Alice and the driver were attacked by gunmen and if not for the driver's quick thinking, they would have died. Unfortunately, a stray bullet had struck Alice and now she was in a critical state. The driver had managed to take her to the hospital where Alice was familiar with a doctor who was also one of the few friends she had but now, the hospital was refusing to allow the doctor to treat Alice. As it was, Alice's life was hanging by a thread and the driver couldn't do anything about it as he was currently being hounded by strange men. Gritting his teeth, Elijah bellowed. “Mr. Leroy!... You have gone too far!... If this feud between us isn't settled by blood, then call me a bastard!” Saying those words, Elijah handed Claire over to Thomas, charging him to protect her with his life before hurrying over to the hospital to save Alice. *** Meanwhile, at CarlCare hospital located in the middle-class area of Crystal Falls, a group of black-suited guards burst into a hospital room, forcefully dragging out the doctor that was attending to Alice, hoping to pull her out of the condition she was in, which was close to death. The doctor, whose name was Madison, was a close friend of Alice, and even though the hospital had threatened her not to attend to Alice, else she'd lose her job, she couldn't just sit back and watch Alice die when she'd done nothing wrong. Unfortunately, it seemed the powers that wished to see Alice suffer had come to stop her by force. Madison's distress was evident as she desperately exclaimed. “Who are you?... Why are you stopping me from saving a life?... That woman's life is hanging by a thread!” Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed through the corridor outside the emergency room. It didn't take long for the owner of the footsteps to arrive, revealing himself to be Mr. Aiden Leroy, the same man that Alice had rejected earlier in the day.

Dressed in an impeccably black suit, Aiden smirked as he remarked. “Well, well, quite unfortunate, don't you think so?... I did warn you that I'd teach you a lesson. Since you dared to reject me, then you can forget about seeing the end of today, and as for your family, they don't care if you live or die; they just want you gone. As a replacement, your sister seems to be smarter than you, picking the obvious choice.” Though Alice was currently in a coma, a tear slid down her cheek, causing her to appear even more pathetic. Madison glared at Aiden before suddenly lunging at him and grabbing hold of his collar. “You bastard, it was you that put Alice in this condition!... How could you!... Why would you do such a thing?... Hasn't she suffered enough already?” Her cries quickly turned into uncontrollable wails as tears streamed down her cheeks while she pounded her fist against Aiden's chest. In response, Aiden slapped her across the face, before forcibly grabbing her wrist, causing

“Alice!” Elijah exclaimed as he raced into the hospital without a single care in the world, exuding a chilling sensation that spread throughout the entire hospital, engulfing everyone in its powerful presence. He arrived at the entrance of the emergency room only to lay eyes on Alice's fragile body, covered in sweat and struggling to breathe. His heart shattered as he witnessed such a heart wrenching sight, leaving him choked. “Elijah… I'm sorry.” Alice muttered in a hoarse tone, barely holding on to life as she made eye contact with Elijah who was standing at the doorway. Tears flowed down his face, revealing the weight of the sorrow he felt. Alice asked. “Is Claire safe?” “Yes.” “Good.” She said with a smile. “That's very good.” As she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes, and the next moment, the heart monitor emitted a long, steady beep. “No!!!” Elijah let out an angry roar, exuding hostility before fearlessly charging forward to confront the henchmen bl

“You are in charge while I'm gone, understood?” Elijah remarked, entrusting the safety of the house to the driver and the Dragon Legion regiment that was stationed in the villa.“Yes, Commander.”Satisfied with the response, Elijah gestured for Thomas to follow him with the latter quickly doing so.However, just as they got to the entrance, a commotion erupted outside.Dozens of black armored vehicles surrounded the area, cutting off all routes in and out of the villa while a helicopter hovered overhead.Several special unit operatives hurried out of the vehicles, fully armed and seemingly prepared for battle.Then a thunderous voice reverberated through the villa with the aid of a microphone.“Listen up, this is Dick Grayson of the Delta Special Forces Division in Crystal Falls and I am issuing an arrest for everyone in this villa for deliberate infliction of harm upon others. Drop your weapons and surrender, or else we would not hesitate to open fire!”Thomas raised a brow as he inq

Aiden kicked the table over, causing the drinks to spill all over the floor, before angrily pointing at Madison. “You bitch, you dare to avoid me!?... Consider yourself lucky that I'm interested in you but don't think I won't handle you roughly if you push me too far!... Let me tell you, if you don't serve me well and make me happy, I'll make sure you never see another sunrise!”Then, he bent down and grabbed her neck, staring at her tear-stained face. “I hope you are listening closely!... With just a phone call, your friend is going to join her ancestors in the afterlife so you'd better behave yourself, understood?”“No, please, Mr. Leroy, just leave Alice alone. She's already suffered enough. I'm begging you.” Madison begged Aiden as she was on her knees with tears streaming down her cheeks.Feeling utterly helpless, she hoped that someone would come to her aid, rescuing her from the claws of the beast standing before her.Just then, Alice's sister, Bianca, the same one that had rep

Elijah looked at the fragile Madison in his arms, her blood slowly staining his clothes though he didn't seem to care one bit as he cleaned the blood from her face.Then, he looked at her abdomen to find that there was a bullet hole in it.As it was, she was seconds away from dying due to blood loss.“Thomas,” Elijah muttered as he used his spiritual energy to cauterize the wound, saving her from instant death.“Yes, captain.”“Keep her safe.” Elijah intoned as he handed an unconscious Madison over to Thomas who quickly took her in his arms.Meanwhile, in the penthouse above, Aiden was licking his lips in annoyance.He'd hoped to misbehave with Madison before her death, but it seemed that plan would have to be shelved, considering she had no way of surviving a fall from the tenth floor.He didn't even care that she was dead because it meant nothing to him.Even if everyone saw him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him because he was a part of the Leroy family, leaving him untou

Aiden's subordinates thought that they would be able to overwhelm Elijah with numbers, unfortunately, they couldn't have been more wrong. All of them ended up on the ground, unable to get back up with Elijah standing over them without breaking a sweat. Aiden could only watch with terror, unable to believe that Elijah was so terrifying. Turning around, he tried to flee in silence but Elijah wasn't about to let that happen after everything he'd done. He kicked a knife that was lying on the ground, causing it to slice through the air, before meeting its mark as it sunk into Aiden's leg. “Ah!... Don't come any closer, stay away!” Aiden screamed in terror as he lay in a puddle of his blood. His right leg wouldn't stop bleeding even as he tried to stop it while watching as Elijah approached him like a grim reaper. If only Aiden had behaved himself, none of this would have happened but unfortunately, he dared to touch what was most important to Elijah. Even if he hadn't touched Madi
The Almighty God of War Returns Seven days
Charles had experienced a lot in his years, working as a don in the Mafia world of Crystal Falls. So, even as Elijah was so bold, that didn't mean it was the first time he'd seen such but unequivocally, all those that had been so audacious had met the same fate. Either they'd ended up bowing to him or they were six feet under. Hence, the reason why he wasn't worried about Elijah and remarked. “Good, very good. Since you have decided to make your bed, you shall lie on it. Men!” “Yes, boss!” “Teach this fool some manners.” Immediately, a hundred men surrounded Elijah, leaving him no room to escape. However, Elijah stood in place, not bothering to move an inch as he waited for the unlucky fool that would attack him first. There was not even a hint of worry on his face, same with Thomas who stood a distance away, watching the proceedings. Suddenly, Elijah's aura surged, turning into an unstoppable force that surged through the sky. Despite this, Charles didn't think
The Almighty God of War Returns Smooth and unblemished
Elijah's villa on the outskirts of Crystal Falls occupied about 20,000 square meters and it was one of the most luxurious villas in the city. It had everything from a garden to a swimming pool and even a golf course. Alice sat on the soft couch of the foyer, looking around in disbelief at the villa that could be easily mistaken for a palace belonging to a powerful ancient ruler. She had thought that she would never be able to see anything beautiful again in her life after everything she'd had to endure in her family manor but now, sitting within this paradise, she was unsure of how to feel. Just then, Elijah joined her in the foyer before kneeling before her. Alice instinctively turned away, unwilling to allow Elijah to see her scared face which made her appear like a monster. Elijah said nothing as he stared at her causing her heart to beat rapidly. Alice wanted nothing more than to disappear and hide at that moment. But then Elijah reached out and tilted her face up gently,

His only purpose
Soon, the news of Lincoln’s death immediately spread throughout Crystal Falls.The celebrities and upper-class circle were definitely no strangers to Lincoln’s name.After all, he had been a direct descendant of the Abnomars, a top family, and also the most valued scion.Almost everyone knew that he had had a high possibility of being directly appointed as the next helmsman of the family. Within Crystal Falls, he had been the top scion whom no one had dared to provoke at all.Yet such a famous big shot had died just like that!“What’s going on? I heard that Lincoln Abnomar committed suicide by jumping off a building in the hospital. What happened?”“We don’t even know why he was in the hospital, so how could we possibly know how he died?”“Hey, speaking of which, I do know a little bit of inside information! I heard that just two days ago, the Ainsworth heiress suddenly went to the Abnomars’ place together. I heard that there seemed to have been some kind of conflict. After those peop

“Son, you… quickly come here. If you want to enjoy the scenery, I’ll accompany you to go outside and watch the scenery every day once you recover, okay?” While speaking in a mellow tone, Mordred slowly approached Lincoln.Mordred sneered. “Once I recover? Now that things have come to this, you’re still lying to me! I heard everything the doctor just said to you! The doctor said that my only option is to get an amputation immediately, or I’ll die, right? Now, you’re thinking about how to tell me about the amputation, right? You’re a liar! What else can you do other than lie to me?!”The more he spoke, the more agitated he got, and toward the end, he was hollering.Mordred’s heart twitched. When he saw his son being in pain and agony, there was nothing else he could do except to comfort and deceive him.“Son, you must have misheard just now. The doctor told me that there’s still hope for you! Don’t worry. No matter what, I will bring in the best doctors to heal your legs! When the time
Only one option left for survival
Hearing the loud commotion coming from the ward, the few nurses outside didn’t have the slightest trace of surprise in their eyes because they had already become accustomed to it over the past few days.At this moment, a doctor in a white coat walked over, knocked on the open door, and said to Mordred, “Mr. Abnomar, I have something to discuss with you. Please come out.”Mordred walked out the door and closed it. “What’s the matter?”The doctor let out a long sigh and said with a grave expression, “I have to inform you that the injuries on Lincoln’s legs are extremely serious, and the best option for him now is amputation. But… In short, there’s a severe infection in his legs, and his wounds have already become red, swollen, and inflamed. There are also signs of ulceration, and there has been necrosis in many tissues. No amount of antibiotics will help now.“Hence, we can’t continue to delay any longer. We have to carry out the amputation of his legs immediately to save his life. Othe
A profound feeling of inadequacy
Elijah looked at him from above and asked coldly, “Tell me. Who are you, and who sent you here?!”The mask on the hitman’s face had fallen off, revealing a menacing face full of indignation. “You… I advise you to behave yourself and let me go. Otherwise, you will know what happens!”Elijah’s eyes constricted.Without hesitation, he stepped on the hitman’s arm, instantly crushing it.The crisp sound of bones cracking was exceptionally distinct in the silent ward.“Aah!” The killer immediately widened his mouth and screamed.But Elijah moved extremely swiftly as he stepped on the hitman’s mouth with the sole of his shoe and warned, “Shut up! If you dare to make another sound, I’ll crush your head!”The hitman’s eyes were immediately filled with panic and horror.He clenched his teeth and burst into a cold sweat, but he didn’t dare to utter another word.After the brief encounter just now, he had already profoundly understood that the young man in front of him was not someone he could de
In a military barracks
After he was done letting Rex know about the tomb hidden underneath Crystal Falls, Elijah remarked. “Anyone that gets their hands on that could potentially have both the wealth and weapons needed to take over the world. I can't allow that to happen.” “So what then?” Rex asked.Elijah pursed his lips. “I've got an idea, but I'm going to need your help to put it into action.”“Sure thing. Whatever you need.” ***In a military barracks in the capital, Hacksaw was seated in his office, his expression unreadable as he seemed to be waiting for something.Soon, the door to his office swung open and a soldier walked in.“Boss, there's an update.”“Tell me.”“It's as you said; General Elijah knows about the tomb hidden underneath Crystal Falls.”“And?” Hacksaw raised a brow, unsure of what he was supposed to do with the information he was already aware of Unless Elijah was an idiot, there was no way he wouldn't know about it, especially since he shared a connection with the Old Robber. “He
Soft-hearted
Even if Elijah was good at martial arts, he believed that the Abnomars would be able to defeat and kill him if they sought help from other experts.Therefore, if Elijah was smart, he shouldn’t refuse to accept Mordred’s offer. Otherwise, when the Abnomars were fully prepared, he would probably die to make up for the humiliation they had suffered.On the side, Rex couldn’t help becoming interested.He had just returned today and wasn’t aware of the feud between Elijah and the Abnomars.But after hearing what Mordred said, he realized that his family seemed to have suffered a huge loss at Elijah’s hands and were feeling disgruntled now, so they were using the excuse of being unprepared.Hah, so interesting!As expected of Elijah, he’s still as impressive as ever, even after leaving the Dragon Legion.He won’t let anyone bully him!In response to Mordred’s threats, Elijah sneered. “In that case, from today onward, none of the Abnomars are to appear in Crystal Falls again. Otherwise, I’ll
Elijah Silva, don't be too arrogant!
The two bodyguards surrounding Rex were instantly kicked away with two loud bangs before landing hard on the clean floor of the airport.They even skidded away a long distance.“How dare you lay a hand on my friend, Mordred Abnomar? Do you want to have your legs broken too?”The cold and merciless voice filled the air, making Mordred’s expression immediately change.“Eli… Elijah Silva?!” His heart was beating wildly as he looked at the familiar young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, filled with disbelief.“Elijah, you’re here!” After hearing Elijah speak, Rex immediately looked over with a look of surprise and hurried toward him.When Mordred saw that Rex was acquainted with Elijah, his heart sank to rock bottom.He suddenly remembered that Rex seemed to have asked him if he was sent by Elijah when they first met.But at the time, he didn’t quite care.He finally realized that Rex was referring to his arch-nemesis, Elijah Silva!Elijah turned to face Rex and asked in concern
Don't push your luck
Mordred said indignantly, “No, my son’s condition is very serious, and we can’t afford to delay treatment any longer! How about this? I’ll give you another six million dollars now to make it ten million! When my son’s legs get better, I’ll give you another four million!”Rex was really enraged this time. “Can’t you understand English? It’s not about money! Get out of the way!”Then he turned around and tried to bypass them.“No, you can’t leave!” Mordred’s face turned gloomy, and he waved his hand. Both his bodyguards trapped Rex in between them, preventing him from leaving.Mordred narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, “Dr. Holding, I’ve already told you just now that the Abnomars are one of the top families in the country. And I will soon be the next helmsman of the family, and my son will become my successor. You understand what I mean, right?... Although I don’t want to use power to oppress you, my son has a noble status that no one in Crystal Falls can compare to! So I don’
A forceful request
Over the past few years, his attainments in the field of medicine had been rather high, and his fame had risen again and again along with it.He often had many people coming up to him all of a sudden to try to get to know her or ask her to help treat someone, so she had been rather annoyed.Generally speaking, he would keep his whereabouts private and known only to a few people.Clearly, the middle-aged man in front of her was one of those who came to her because he had heard about her somewhere.Rex had never been polite to such people. “I’m sorry. I don’t know you, nor do I intend to get to know you. I have something important to do now. I’ll get going.”Then he walked toward the side.But just as he took two steps, the two bodyguards in black suits immediately stood in front of him.“What do you mean by this?” Rex immediately flew into a rage and glared at Mordred with a frown.Mordred said domineeringly, though with an apologetic look on his face, “Dr. Holding, a doctor told me th
