Gehenna had a status equivalent to that of gods in the Eastern mercenary circle.
Of course, officially they were a security company in the nation. They would not admit to their mercenary status because the nation did not allow any legal mercenaries.
However, it was an undeniable fact that Gehenna was a mercenary organization and a powerful one at that.
There were two reasons why Elijah could set up such a huge mercenary organization in Brimmopolis. The first was that he had strong capabilities and possessed a team of outstanding subordinates. The second and more important reason was that he had excellent connections with a bunch of wealthy and powerful individuals of Brimmopolis.
He usually got along well with these powerful youngsters of Brimmopolis. Through those connections, he was able to build a mighty organization in the city smoothly.
The reputation of Gehenna had spread all over the nation and even the world as the best mercenary organization.
Elijah's mother died when he was very young, so his father remarried. His stepmother abused him every day when he was growing up.
However, his stepmother's son, Wolfson, was very kind to him.
When his stepmother hit him and refused to give him any food, Wolfson would secretly smuggle some food to him.
Thus, after Elijah grew up, he was only fond of his brother and no one else.
Now that his brother had his limbs broken, Elijah was naturally enraged.
He sat by the bed and smoked as he gazed at his brother. After a long while, he slowly asked, "Who was it that had beaten up my brother?"
A sturdy man with a short beard stood behind him and reported in a low voice, "Orcus, I heard that it was a certain Nathan Cross from Channing who had beaten your brother. Wolfson flirted with Nathan's wife, so Nathan..."
Elijah raised a hand and interrupted him.
