CHAPTER 61The smell of septic that wafted into Jack’s nose as he regained consciousness made him realise where he was even before her he opened his eyes.A hospital. He was in a Hospital. How? He was just in that building. Cole was yelling ‘bomb’. Cole….Where is Cole?Jack’s eyes snapped open and Mildred, who had been observing him, gasped.“Thank goodness. You’re awake, I was so scared,” she said frantically and her eyes were red, showing that she had been crying.“What happened? Where’s Cole?” Jack asked, trying to lift himself into a sitting position but a crippling pain shot through his back and legs and he winced, staying back on the bed.Mildred began to cry at his question and Jack feared the worst, growing impatient.“Talk to me Mildred! What happened?” “Cole is gone,” Mildred said weakly and a whimper escaped her. “His body was blown to pieces when the building exploded and the building, all the money and effort we’ve put into it, it’s all gone.”Jack closed his eyes in pain

CHAPTER 63“Grab him,” Rojo ordered immediately. The two guards who had escorted him in as a guest, swiftly grabbed him like a prisoner but Lewis only laughed.“I came here on my own accord and you want to arrest me? Is that anyway to treat a guest?” He said in a mocking tone.“You’re no guest of mine Lewis Garner. Lock him up! I’ll be down to get some answers from him,” Jack said coldly.“Jack, Jack, Jack. Always showing off some mean bravado. You may want to check under my shirt first….I’m sure you don’t want another explosion. Oh and I’m sorry about your boy Co—”POW!A swift and strong punch from Rojo sent the rest of Lewis’ words down his throat while sending three of his teeth flying out of his mouth.“Hahaha!” Lewis laughed hysterically from his bloodstained mouth. “Your time is up Jack and there’s nothing you can do about it.”“There’s a bomb under my shirt and it’s going to go off in five minutes if you don’t let me go. Hahaha!” Lewis boasted like a power drunk maniac.“Check

CHAPTER 65Laurel gulped visibly. No one had ever survived his amulet before. He was sure it worked. He could feel Jack’s life force being drained away slowly by the amulet until there was nothing left to drain. He had done this countless times to countless people to know how it worked, so it wasn’t a matter of whether it worked or not. It was clear to him that Jack had died and come back to life.“What the fuck happened? Didn’t you just kill him?” Gregory asked his brother.“I did. I fucking did,” Laurel replied.“Then how the hell is he alive?” Gregory growled.“If you don’t believe me, then fucking do it yourself,” Laurel spat back in anger.He felt embarrassed. His powers felt useless. This has never happened to him before. “Maybe you should try again,” Jack said, followed by a mocking laughter.“Arghhh,” He got pissed and grabbed a gun from one of their guards, unloading round after round on an unsuspecting Jack. “Die! Die! Die! You fucker!” Laurel yelled, emptying thirty live

CHAPTER 67It was the third anniversary of the Mayor of Coral city as mayor and he was throwing a banquet to celebrate it. The wealthiest and high profile individuals of the city and the entire state were all present.Jack had been trying to reach the mayor ever since Trent’s public announcement that he and the Smith brothers were behind the bombing and collapse of his hotel but the mayor had been avoiding him.Seizing the opportunity, Jack decided to attend the party, to see if he can persuade the mayor to go back on his decision on handing his hotel to the Swift and Smith Group which belonged to the Smith brothers since it was now public knowledge that they had a hand in the bombing.The truth was that even though Trent had confessed and mentioned their supposed involvement, there was no tangible proof. It was Trent’s word against the leaders of a multi-trillion dollar corporation, so their involvement was quickly swept under the carpet and Trent alone bore the brunt, being sentenced

CHAPTER 69“Ah! You-You are the godson?” Garvin asked again like he didn’t get the memo the first time.Jack wasn’t just the Godson of governor Clint, he was like a son to him. Clint and Jack’s father were childhood friends who grew up into adult friends.While Jack’s dad ventured into the business world, Clint ventured into the world of politics and throughout his thirty some years career, his campaigns have been bankrolled heavily by the Bolton family.Jack did not want to go down this route initially but the mayor had given him no choice. After it became clear that the mayor was refusing to see him on purpose, he decided to go a step ahead of the arrogant man and tonight the mayor’s action only proved Jack right.“I am,” Jack replied sternly, crossing his arms and staring daggers into the man.Garvin swallowed hard and went pale. He had to remedy himself or this could spell bad for his campaign in the next election which is just a year away.Governor Clint wasn’t just the governor o
