“You look surprised while reading the news,” Elena said softly.“Nothing, I am fine. I was surprised because billionaires these days hardly get married and that’s why when I saw it I was surprised. They prefer to focus on their goals and expanding their business.” He said with his voice barely above a whisper.Elena shook her head and smiled. She moved towards the kitchen. Leaving Jason and her father in the living room.He inhaled sharply, he thought about Lillian and wondered if she had any news for him. “But how will I meet her without being seen?” He asked himself inwardly.He contemplated for a few minutes and yanked off the thought of going to look for Lilian, He thought about focusing on his training and acquiring his skill before he would review himself to the public.***********It was another day for Jason to continue his training, he was prepared and he got the equipment ready. While he awaits his master. Zachary came out of the house with Elena, she waved her hands towards
Zachary and Jason walked into the hut, both men sat down on a chair by the side which was surrounded by shelves lined with jars of herbs.Zachary gazes at Jason, “I want to introduce you to ancient acupuncture, it’s a gentle yet powerful technique that has been practised for centuries. I have discussed this with you before but today we will go deep into knowing everything about it and I will show you how to insert them.” Zachary Reed said calmly Jason nodded slightly, as his curiosity piqued, he was prepared to delve into the ancient practice of acupuncture.Zachary inhaled and exhaled deeply, and he mouthed calmly. “Acupuncture is based on the principle that the body’s vital energy known as Qi, flows along. Pathway called Meridians. It’s by inserting thin needles into specific points along the meridians, that we can restore balance and harmony to the body. Promoting healing and well-being.” Zachary Reed got up, retrieved a symbol from his bag hanging on the wall and placed it in fr
Zachary Reed smiled and mouthed smoothly, “It’s called canscora.” “What can it be used for?” He asked, his eyes were fixated on the canscora on the table. He was curious to know about it, Zachary grasped his expression and he smiled.“The canscora is a flowering plant that’s known for its remarkable medicinal properties. It can be used to treat a wide range of ailments, from digestion disorders to nervous system imbalances.”“This property helps to soothe the mind and helps for restful sleep.”Zachary moved to the side and brought out more canscora, and he placed them before Jason. And he continued to explain to him about herbal medicine. “This canscora is valued for its ability to improve digestion and relieve discomfort, it helps to regulate digestive functions and ease symptoms such as bloating, indigestion and nausea.” He said.Jason nodded his head in understanding, his eyes still fixed on the content before him. “What’s the benefit of it,” Jason asked.“Nice question, Jason,”
“I have a gift for you, a precious treasure that will aid you towards your journey of healing and martial arts.”Jason’s eyes were wide in curiosity, as his gaze was at the box Zachary was holding. His gaze filled with anticipation coursing through his veins.“I will give you this gift on condition and you must promise me that you will keep it safe,” Zachary said.Jason was surprised, he stared at Zachary and wondered what conditions. “What condition?” He asked Zachary.Zachary inhaled and exhaled, his facial expression changed from excitement to sadness. “What is inside this box is a secret and it should be worn by the Grandmaster.” He said.Jason felt confused by his statement, he turned around to be sure Zachary was talking to him. “Grandmaster.” He asked.“Yes, Grand Master,” he replied.“The box was given to me by my father before he died, he was betrayed in the brotherhood of Art diamond. He was the grand master, he did everything to bring all the young men together and the Br
His eyelid blinked twice, and with a trembling hand, he carefully opened the box. Revealing a dazzling silver necklace nestled within.“It’s beautiful. How will this help me with the healing processes.” He promptly questioned.“You will need to put it on your neck first only then can you know the power and strength it carries.” He responded.“The necklace is infused with the wisdom of the eyes, it will amplify your innate healing abilities and guide you on your paths,” he added.Jason’s heart was pounding fast in gratitude as he gazed at the pendant, he felt a sense of connection to the universe. He removed the necklace from the box and moved it from his head down to his neck.Zachary smiled, as he had accomplished his mission. He had found the grand master after several years, he couldn’t take the feeling of excitement within his mind. It was like magic, the necklace began to emit a soft pulsating light. Enveloping Jason in a warm embrace of healing energy.“Feel the power of the ne
“What,” Jessica said.“Yes, I know how you have been going out with him and everything you and Danny have been discussing in this house. So we better play along to be in a safe hand. I wouldn’t want to spoil your mood and your wedding.” Mrs. Maria said sarcastically.Jessica couldn’t believe her eyes, that her mother had been playing with them all this while. She tutted her lips in disbelief and her expression was mixed with frustration and anger.“Mom, why? Why would you lie to us, you made everyone believe you were sick and couldn’t remember anyone. We believed in you and took care of you.” Jessica said with her voice barely above a whisper.Mrs. Maria glared at her daughter and a smile formed immediately from the edges of her lips. “You know why, Jessica. All this was because of your ex-husband, Jason. He was going to take me to prison for everything I had done to him, he found out I stole a huge amount of money and he was after me. I saw the accident as an opportunity to hide mys
Zachary was surprised to see the representative from Harvard Bank at his doorstep that morning, his expression entwined from happiness to Sadness. He knew they had come to deliver sad news to him about his debt.“Good morning, Mr. Zachary, good morning Young lady.” Helen Mei said.Zachary and his daughter responded to their greetings, father and daughter exchanged worried glances at each other. “Mr. Zachary, we came here because we have something important to tell you.” Mrs. Helen Mei said.Zachary Reed furrowed his brow, as he inhaled and exhaled softly. He tutted his lips, while Elena held her father’s hand. “Mrs. Helen, please is there any way we can talk to your superior to extend the loan,” Elena said.“I promise, we will pay. All we seek is for another time extension, so we could raise the money. Please, don’t chase us out of our house. This is all we have got left.” Elena said.Mrs. Helen Mei and her colleague glance at each other in confusion. They chuckled slightly, Zachary
Lilian was speechless, He couldn’t utter a word. She was engrossed with several thoughts. She didn’t know what else to do.“Jason, you were right about Mrs. Maria. She is not sick but healthy, she has deceived everyone all this while.” Jason clenched his fist in anger, his instinct has been right all along. “How do we expose her and her plans,” Jason said.Jason gazed at Lilian, he could understand her expression. She had something in her mind but she didn’t want to say it.“Lilian, is there anything you wish to tell me?” He asked.Lilian kept mute, the word in her mind was too heavy for her to spill out. She inhales and exhales sharply. “Jason, I have a video recorder at home. It contains everything that has been happening in her room. Ave and I placed an undetected spy camera in her room, we have some evidence against her. But Jason, I wanted to ask something from you.” “What could it be, Lilian.” “My family, will you protect my family and me? If I helped you, I know how you h
