Though they tried to figure out Elijah's reason for standing up all of a sudden, the guests in attendance had made the wrong guess.

The reason Elijah suddenly stood up was that he wanted to let Denise see him so that she could feel slightly more relieved.

Because the glass display case was fully soundproof, the girls inside wouldn’t be able to hear anything and could only see the lewd and repulsive gazes of the men gawking at them like they were scrutinizing a sale product.

Even though Denise usually put on a strong front, she was still just a young woman in her twenties.

She was suddenly abducted on the streets and subsequently held captive in this glass display case, where she was being put up for auction like she was merely an object subject to the scrutiny of others.

The most terrifying thing was that she was clueless about how things would turn out for her in the end, and she might end up in a situation countless times more agonizing and torturous than death.

So when Denise saw

    “Wow, look. The one at the side is Mr. Duncan Abnomar!... He’s attending the auction in person too.”“I think he just came to take a look.”The sudden appearance of Duncan and Jamie caused some commotion in the auction hall.But after Elijah shot them a glance, they quickly looked away and faced the auction stage to bid again.“Twelve million!”There was immediately yet another uproar because of Elijah’s bid.Twelve million dollars was enough for even the creation of a model of a beautiful woman using pure gold. Yet the bidder intended to buy a woman for twelve million dollars, which was an absurdly high price even if she was as beautiful as a fairy!Jamie glared at Elijah menacingly with a trace of hatred and jealousy in his eyes. He exclaimed slowly, “Fifteen million!”There was an instant upheaval in the auction hall as everyone exclaimed in shock.Fifteen million dollars could buy a super luxurious mansion, or if it was invested in some businesses, it would bring about massive ret

    Some immediately thought that Elijah was smart enough to realize that it wouldn’t make any economic sense to continue raising his bid and thus withdrew.They felt that it showed that he was not a reckless man just obsessed with winning.Of course, many people were hungry for more drama and excitement. Seeing the exciting bidding come to an end, they all began to criticize Elijah in their heads for being too cowardly with looks of disappointment on their faces.The other bidder, Jamie, was dumbfounded and froze in place when he saw Elijah actually withdraw from the bidding without hesitation! What made Jamie even more flustered and horrified was the realization that he would have to pay the sum that he bid now that Elijah had withdrawn!Thirty million dollars!How could he possibly fork out so much money?!“Okay. Now that Mr. Silva has withdrawn from the bidding, the highest bidder so far is Mr. Hernandez, who has placed a bid of thirty million dollars! Any higher bids?”The hall was

    All of a sudden, many people in the auction hall started mocking Jamie with disdain while waiting gloatingly to see what would happen next.A staff member dressed in a black uniform walked up to Jamie and asked with a polite but oppressive tone, “Mr. Hernandez, please pay for the auction item that you have won the bid for immediately. The total amount is thirty million dollars. Would you like to pay by bank transfer or by check?”This was often the case at auctions. No arrears were allowed when it came to the payment for the auctioned item. It was also to prevent some people from placing high bids for the sake of the thrill of it, only to end up failing to make the payment and thus aborting the sale of the items.Jamie’s face became even more sullen. There was only a little more than 200,000 dollars in the bank account linked to the card he had with him now. How could he afford to pay thirty million dollars?Jamie panicked and looked around anxiously. When he suddenly saw Elijah, who

    “Let’s put it this way. Since both of you are keen on buying this girl, and Mr. Hernandez happens to be short of cash at the moment, let’s consider his bid invalid and yours successful. In that case, you shall take the last beauty home for six million dollars,” Duncan said self-righteously.Without even asking Elijah if he agreed at all, he instructed the staff member beside him, “Proceed with the arrangements for the payment transfer procedures for Elijah Silva. This matter is settled then.”Stiles’s face was sullen, and after some hesitation, he said softly, “Mr. Abnomar, I’m afraid this is not an appropriate way to handle this matter. After all, Mr. Hernandez succeeded in bidding for the last item during the auction, but he’s now unable to come up with the money to pay what he bid. If we get this matter over and done with in such a hasty manner, I’m afraid it will damage the reputation of the Abnomars’ auctions…”Duncan glared at Stiles scornfully. “I’m the heir of the Abnomars.

    At the thought of this, everyone could only leave reluctantly in order not to offend the Abnomars.The large auction hall was soon empty again.But Celeste and Vanessa, who chose to stay in place, stood out very starkly.Stiles frowned in displeasure. “Why aren’t you two leaving yet?”Celeste also frowned. “Mr. Silva is my friend, so I naturally won’t let him stay here alone. Although I don’t know what exactly you want to do to him, what Mr. Abnomar did just now was clearly inappropriate, wasn’t it?”Vanessa nodded and expressed her support for Elijah. “Exactly, Jamie Hernandez clearly tried to go against Elijah by deliberately placing high bids that are way more than what he can afford. In the end, Jamie Hernandez ended up making a fool out of himself because he couldn’t afford to pay what he bid. Why should Elijah be the one to bear the consequences? It’s not the first time the Abnomars are holding an auction. Why would you do something like that?”Duncan rolled his eyes in displeas

  • The Almighty God of War Returns   Idiot, shut up!

    Only after hearing what Duncan had to say did Stiles understand the reason the Abnomar scion bore such a strong hatred for Elijah and was bent on going against him.It wasn’t so much to help Jamie but mostly to take revenge on Elijah.After hearing what Duncan said, both Vanessa and Celeste frowned, feeling rather worried. It seems that Duncan won’t let Elijah off easily… What should we do now?Vanessa looked at the menacing and murderous-looking henchmen around her.She couldn’t help biting her lower lip as her face turned pale, and she subconsciously hid behind Elijah.She had always been well protected by her father and so had never been in such a dangerous situation before.It was inevitable for her to be nervous and terrified.“You guys leave first!” Elijah suddenly said to both Vanessa and Celeste.“What… what about you then?” Vanessa asked worriedly.Elijah comforted her with a light smile. “I’ll be fine.”“Hmph, things have already come to this, but you’re still boasting!

    “Mr. Silva! I know Mr. Abnomar was at fault just now. He shouldn’t have offended you, but please have mercy and let us talk things over calmly! If you end up killing him, it won’t do any of us here any good!” Stiles hurriedly pleaded.If Elijah continued strangling Duncan, he would die in less than a minute!Elijah naturally wouldn’t kill Duncan just like that though he was hellbent on teaching him a lesson for his foolishness.Seeing Duncan begin convulsing, Elijah finally relented and let go of him.Duncan could no longer stand on his feet. As soon as Elijah let go, he directly collapsed onto the ground. He gasped desperately for fresh air while looking thankful to have survived a near-death encounter.Elijah kicked Duncan, who was now like a dead dog. He then stepped on his chest with one foot and questioned indifferently, “Now, do you still want me to pay you that thirty million dollars?”At this point, Duncan had long become terrified of Elijah. He hurriedly shook his head. “No,

    Jamie had planned to make Elijah spend a ton of money today, but the latter managed to slip away. Not only did he not fall into Jamie’s trap, but he even humiliated him and Duncan. However, Jamie didn't plan on giving up just yet as he was hellbent on taking revenge on Elijah! Just as Jamie was glaring viciously at Elijah’s back, Elijah suddenly turned around and flicked something from his fingertips that swiftly darted toward Jamie like a bullet. The round object instantly penetrated Jamie’s throat, and two streams of blood gushed out from the front and back of his neck. Jamie raised his hand and touched his neck in bewilderment, but he was already falling backward. With a loud thud, he collapsed onto the ground. “Mr. Hernandez!” Stiles and Duncan were astounded. By the time they rushed forward to squat down beside Jamie and take a look at his situation, his pupils had already dilated and lost their luster. Jamie was dead! “This is… a button!” One of the Abnomars’ subo

    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

    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
