Leo remained quiet as the guards escorted him all the way from the hotel lobby to the elevator and him and two if the guards stepped in.The guard pushed the button to go up eighteen floors and the elevator slowly began moving up.1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7...The minute the elevator reached the seventh floor, the guard quickly pushed the button to go back to the first floor and they began to descend again but the display still showed that they were moving upwards.'That's probably just a precaution to prevent anyone monitoring the elevators from knowing where we are going. The security around Mr Jones is quite impressive' Leo thought to himself as he observed the actions of the guard."I apologize for any inconvenience we may cause you. You have to understand that Master Jones is very powerful and successful but power and success also pulls in enemies in hordes" the African guard spoke in his accent that was slightly difficult for Leo to understand."No problems, he is a very im
"Melissa's lover, Baron, that's his father right?" Leo asked calmly, trying not to let the anger in him cloud his judgement."Yes, the Ax Business Industry is one of the largest single person holding across the country. Only family members are allowed to buy shares in the company and Baron is the direct heir to all of the Ax Holdings" Maxwell explained."Did Johnson find out about me? Is that why Baron is courting Melissa? I've tried my absolute best to stay away from healing people for a while now, you are the first person I've healed in over half a decade" "I'm well aware of that, even with my all my connections it took me a very long while to find you. I was surprised you kept your parents name though, it greatly helped in my search for you. But from my sources, it seems like Melissa and Baron's relationship is completely unrelated to you""But from what you said earlier, you're not 100% sure he's the one who killed my parents?" Leo asked as he remembered Maxwell's words from a fe
"An offer I can't refuse?" Leo chuckled, "What sort of offer is that?""Don't be in a hurry to hear it. Wait a moment leys get to our destination first" Helen replied with a confident smile."Alright then" Leo agreed before leaning back into the seat. He was still feeling sleepy even though he had just woken up from a fifteen plus hour sleep.VROOM!!!The limo sped through the streets of the city and soon they were in the West Side of the city. It was not as popular or classy as the East Side where Redemption Hotel was located alongside the homes of all the wealthiest people living in the city.The West Side was mostly undeveloped and was populated by large apartment buildings still under construction and you could see the various machines of the construction companies all around. The driver navigated the car through the streets and came to park in front of one of the few completed housing complexes. It was a large building containing at least a 100 one bedroom apartments and had the
A taxi pulled up in front of Grant Autos and a tired looking Leo hopped out of it after handing the driver a couple of dollar bills.'I couldn't have imagined the amount of paperwork I had to sign to join the Jones Corporation. Six different Non Disclosure Agreement! What sort of secret activities do they do that they have to make me sign six NDAs? I've practically signed. My signature on over 300 documents in the last 4 hours many of which I didn't even read. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass' he mumbled to himself in anger as he rushed into the store.He wasn't in the mood to waste time as he really needed a little shut eye to ward of the tiredness."Good evening sir" the female receptionist greeted him in a cordial tone but soon frowned after she noticed the state he was in. He had run his hands through his hair too many times in during the day and it was now scattered and lay atop his head in a mess. His suit which he had been wearing since the party the day befo
"Interesting" Leo smiled as he walked into Grant's private gallery. Cars were lined up on his left and right but Leo was never someone to be impressed by shiny cars. The cars ranged from old classics to new demons and from the pure gold plaques the names of the cars were imprinted on and rare stones that adorned the plaques Leo could tell that Grant was not your regular car dealer.'This man does not deal in only cars, this whole business might even be a sham, there's a reason he brought me in here' Leo thought to himself with a sigh. He was close to losing his cool due to his severe tiredness."Mr Grant, I'm not an expert in cars so I'll let you pick one out for me. Nothing too fancy though, I want something that would fit into any environment and get me from point A to point B in time" "Mr Dubois, I assure you that I'll put my utmost effort into finding you the perfect car but I would like to have a word with you first" Grant smiled widely and Leo immediately likened him to a con m
"There, now you have your proof Mr. Grant now get up we have to talk. There's some information I need from you" Leo said as he helped Grant to his feet."What do you need to know?""I need to know about a certain poison. I believe it's gotten from a plant called the Purple Demon Flower. It's a poison that slowly sucks on the life force of anyone who ingests it and eventually kills the person. It's a very rare flower and is only found in one location somewhere in the Asian mountains. Mr Jones was poisoned by a toxin extracted from the flower and I want to know who would be the most likely person to come in contact with the flower, any one who has any real interest in taking the Jones' family off the map and anything connected to a certain Mr. Liquorice"Grant frowned as if he was unwilling to share information of such massive scale but at the end his greed for power won out over his professionalism."Many families do business in Asia but it's mostly tech based transactions. The only fa
VROOM!Leo slowly brought his Bentley to a halt in the parking lot of the Jones Corporation building. It was his first day at work and he was a bit nerve wracked. He took three deep breaths before stepping out of the car and walking into the building.He hadn't walked three steps when a group of bodyguards quickly covered him from behind and began making way through the crowd for him. 'Wow. Is this the deputy head privilege? It's restricting but it's not too bad' he thought to himself as they led him to the top floor where his office was located.Waiting for him seated on his table was Helen reading a little pamphlet he was sure she had just picked up. She looked up at him as he entered and smiled widely."Welcome to your new job Leo, I'm going to be the one giving you the orientation" she gave the bodyguards a sign and they quickly left the room."Now this is where you will work from most of the time. Since you will not be attending meetings with me or meeting clients, your day will
Leo stared into space as he and Helen sat in the panic room at the main Jones mansion. It was a large bunker under the ground which could resist massive bomb blasts.He was trying to fit the puzzle in his mind into a big picture but there was still a missing piece which he couldn't grasp."Helen, do you know of anyone who would want to kill your grandfather this badly?" He asked with a dark look on his face. He didn't like being involved in the matter but he never shied from responsibility."My grand father has a lot of enemies Leo, all of them very powerful. Any of them could have planted the bombs" Helen said in a cracked voice.RRRRRRRRRIIIIIING!Leo's phone rang for a few seconds before he picked it."Hello?" He spoke into the phone."The bomb team managed to neutralize the bomb timer and the bombs are just seating there for now waiting for the bomb squad from the police" the African bodyguard narrated to him."That's good. I'll be there in time to give a private interview to the
