JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 308
Ronny’s heart jumped into his throat. “I-It’s a demon?!”Joker and others were also wide-eyed to hear Binnie’s words.“Why do you have that thing in your body?” Binnie did not even want to touch it with her bare hand. “Can’t you feel the demonic energy in it?” She looked at Ronny and others but no one except Jim seemed to understand what she was talking about.“Can we get that thing out?” Jim asked. He didn’t talk about this with Ronny because Ronny was not a strong-hearted man. If Jim were to reveal that the black mass that had infiltrated his body was dangerous, then it might affect his confidence and peace greatly, so he remained silent until now. Since Binnie brought it up, Jim also opened up.“No, not through ordinary means,” Binnie said. “It looks like this thing reacts to only certain frequencies, especially the destructive ones.” She looked at Ronny. “Where did you find this?”“I don’t know. One day, it was stuck to me when I woke up,” Ronny said. “Since it gave me strength, I

Binnie’s training was beyond anything Jim had expected.She literally began to beat everyone again and again and waited until they healed, and then she fought them and beat them again and again.For two days, this continued to happen.Jim practiced on refining his technique during these seemingly peaceful days.Meanwhile, Rena was discharged from the hospital.She came home straight, and she was not in a good mood because her sister and dad didn’t come to the hospital even though it had been two days since she woke up. It was one thing that her boss didn’t come, but her own sister and father also didn’t come. Why? Just what made them stay at home? What were they so busy with?Rena searched for them, but she couldn’t find them in the house.“Where are they?” she asked her mother.“I think they went outside, knowing that you’d come,” Lola chortled.“Mom, this isn’t funny. It feels like they’re avoiding me,” Rena blurted. “What exactly are you not telling me?”“Don’t worry, Rena. Your da

Marc and Shiney came home almost an hour after Rena had come home. They came straight to Rena’s room, but she was sleeping.They didn’t disturb her and went to Lola’s room to talk with her.Shiney didn’t speak for long. After she left, Marc spoke with her, “Did you know that Jim had a lawyer?”“No, he didn’t have any lawyer,” Lola said, “not that I know of.”Marc then gave her a visiting card.“Bernard Williams….” Lola was startled. “This guy is… my brother’s lawyer back in the day. Is he still around?”“He’s a lawyer in the supreme court now,” Marc said.“What?” Lola was pleasantly surprised. “How did you meet him now? How did you get his visiting card?’“He came to us himself,” Marc explained. “He was fucking fat, so I thought he was some excessive food-addict from a shitty neighborhood with a shittier past, but it turned out that he’s the freaking lawyer. He was too fat to fit inside your typical car. He came in a custom-made Benz car. I checked about him online. He’s clearly very

Some time later.Shiney came to Rena’s room. Rena was working on her art designs.“Already started working, have you?” Shiney sat down on her bed. “Why do you care about work so much when your boss didn’t even come to the hospital these past two days?”“I work because he pays me, not because I want him to shower positivity on me,” Rena replied.“How cold of a reply,” Shiney snorted. “Befitting of you.”“You didn’t come to the hospital these past two days, either,” Rena retorted. “Did I complain?”“U-Uh, no…” Shiney said in a soft, weak voice.“You are my little sister. Even if you didn’t come to see me, I can’t erase from my heart the love I have for you,” Rena said.“I-I’m sorry. I don’t like hospitals, sis,” Shiney tried to give an explanation. “You know that as well, don’t you?”“If something happens to our dad, and he ends up in prison, will you visit him?” Rena asked. “Or will you say that prisons are too rowdy for you to visit?”“T-That’s…”“There are times when we should put o

At the stairs that led to the fourth floor of the Beast Dungeon, there were giant statues of warriors of the Beast Clan.An old man was taking the body measurements from everyone so that he could carve their statues for the future generations to see.When he was taking Jim’s measurements, Jim said, “This is pointless.”“Why do you say so?” the old man curiously asked.“This place will not last long,” Jim said, surprising the old man as well as Binnie who heard his words.“What makes you say that?” the old man asked again so he could get more information straight from the mouth of the horse.“You are old enough to understand my words, so I won’t repeat myself,” Jim said.“Is that so?” the old man stopped taking Jim’s measurements. “I’ll take your word for it then.”“If you have friends or family here, tell them to leave,” Jim said as he walked away.The old man looked at Binnie and smiled, “Freedom seems near.”Binnie gave him some money and then caught up to Jim and told him about Dou
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 313
Stanley drove to a private tower and reached the penthouse, where Tenzin was living.When he entered the hall, Tenzin was looking at the image of the man whose picture frame was fixed to the wall. This man was well dressed in a gray suit and was stylishly walking. “Look at his swag and grace, and his face… everything is perfect about him. He is the only one that has reached my standards. No, he even surpassed them. I don’t mind lowering myself if it’s for him. But the real question is… how do I get him to give up his wife and kids and then follow my tail?“Should I try killing his wife and kids? Should I kidnap them and then force him to submit himself to me? No, there’s no fun in living with a stressed man. I want him to freely be with me. But I just don’t know how to make him mine. Do you have any good ideas, Stanley?”Stanley looked at the man in the frame and shook his head. “I don’t get it, ma’am. That man is someone our entire brotherhood fears. How can you recklessly think of m
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 314
Bernard Williams reached the central police station to talk with the chief of police, but only the deputy chief was present there.Because Bernard was a supreme court lawyer, the deputy chief personally received him into his office.But there were no sofas in the office, so Bernard sat on the couch in the hall.“If you called me, I would have come to your house, no, sir?” the deputy chief said. “But anyway, what brought you here? It must be something very important.”“Oh, since it’s your dismissal letter,” Bernard handed him an envelope. “You are permanent relieved from your services.”The deputy chief forced out a smile thinking that the lawyer was joking, but after he enveloped and checked the document, it was personally signed by the governor. He was shocked and utterly confused. Why did the governor sign for his removal? He completely didn’t get it.“I can understand your situation,” Bernard said. “You were just doing what the governor said, weren’t you? But…that’s not why you are
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 315
This was probably one of the crappiest days Rena had experienced in a while, not counting the day when she and Jim were attacked by Stanley.Of course, the bout she had with the deputy chief had something to do with it, but more than that, when she went to her office, her boss Austin had already hired a new art designer to work in her place. And this woman just happened to be the same person that always criticized her works out of jealousy.Rena felt so stupid for working all night to bring something to the table today.Austin tried to explain to her, but she thanked him for opening her eyes and making it easier for her to quit the job as he removed her from the project because she was in a coma.She wasn’t hurt just because he appointed someone else as the head, but because he didn’t tell her about this when she called him the previous day. He might have thought that Rena wouldn’t come to the office for at least a few more days, but that excuse just wasn’t justifiable enough for Rena

AUTHOR'S EPISTLE
THANK YOU:: JIM IS HIM… is finished! Have you enjoyed it? I hope so. I definitely enjoyed writing it as it was challenging. It was supposed to be a 500 chapter long work, but I condensed it and finished it quickly. To all those who read every chapter and reached this page… you have my humble thanks. A big thanks to readers Lynn Casey, Mickey Ritch, and Liwhundebe Emmanuel for their precious votes. A special thanks to Rex Magnus for his lovely review. Much appreciated, Brother. CHARACTERS:: I hope you can take away some memorable characters from this novel. My favorite character is Jim, not because he’s the protagonist, but because he will give me food if I go to his restaurant with empty pockets more than once. He didn't have many friends growing up, but if you ask Shiney, she’ll tell you that he’s the kind you wouldn’t want to end your relationship with once you get to know him. Then again, Shiney might give you a different answer depending on the mood she’s in when you ask her.
EPILOGUE
Sometime later.Jim and Rena were on a mountain top, enjoying the view of the magnificent forest. Her belly was slightly swollen.A couple of birds flew by.“How do they find food?” Rena curiously asked.“God provides for them,” Jim said.“Yeah, but he doesn’t drop food in their nests, would he?” Rena retorted.“We work like buffaloes, and then buy food, cook it, and then put it in our mouths, chew it, and then our stomach has to digest it,” Jim said. “Just like us, birds also fly about to find grains, bugs, spiders, and… they can see from afar unlike us. They can see a tiny spider that’s dancing on its web under a tree shade from hundreds of meters away. So, yeah, God equipped them with enough skills so they can feed themselves even though they don’t live under a roof like us.”Just then, a brown Bentley arrived at the scene.John stepped out first and then opened the door for her. She got up and said, “Why don’t you also carry me over there because I can’t walk, you know.”“I was ju

Seeing Rena enter the kitchen, Jim also rushed in. He took the coupons from her and then kissed her hand.This was part of the deal, after all.The thing that she requested of him for being a waitress was that he would kiss a part of her body once every time she would enter the kitchen. And she was loving it now as Jim was coming up to her no matter where he was or whatever he was doing and was kissing her in unexpected ways and in unexpected places at times. Luckily, the kitchen was not open for view, or it would have been impossible to have these cuddling and kissing endeavors.As they were hugging, Rena noticed a little creature sneakily enter the kitchen. “I-I-It’s a rat!”“WHAT?” Jim was shocked and angered. How dare a rat enter his restaurant on the day he opened it? And that, too, in the middle of the day? “Where is it?”“I don’t know. It disappeared,” Rena looked around but couldn’t find it.“These things are smart. The moment they think they’re in danger, they freeze,” Jim co
CHAPTER 404
Two weeks passed since Jim revealed his ancestry to those of the Draknor Finance company.At Bob Shriner’s house.Bob had kidnapped a six-year-old girl and tied her to a chair. Wearing a clown mask, he was dancing around her chair to make her cry and feel the horror of it.After all, sacrificing after torturing the prey would bring best results for any dark path ritual, so Bob was very excited about it.After finishing his dance, he revealed his hidden knife and stabbed the girl’s head from the top. The knife went right through her skull and came down from the chin. He was grinning; however, a second later, he realized that not a single drop of blood spilled, and the little girl was grinning at him as if she was the predator and he was the prey.Bob quickly stumbled back. “W-Who the hell are you?”“She’s Systa,” a voice came from behind Bob, sending a chill down his spine because he couldn’t even sense the presence of this person. He turned back but didn’t recognize this man who was n
CHAPTER 403
A few days after Jim revealed himself to the chairman of Draknor Finance.In Draknor Finance headquarters.Lola was working alone in the cafe as Jim had told her to not hire any workers and that she must run the cafe by herself for the next four years.She was making sandwiches in the cafe, and she ended up cutting a bit of her finger while cutting tomatoes. And it made her cry from pain and then cry some more because of the hardships she was facing. As if that wasn’t enough, when she took the sandwich to the customer, he complained to her saying, “I asked you to mildly heat them in order to keep them soft. Why did you roast them this much?”“Sorry, sir. I’ll do well next time.”“Next time? You mean you want me to eat this shit right now?” The customer was none other than Joker from the Beast Dungeon.“T-That’s not shit, sir. It’s only roasted a little more than you asked for.”“So, now, you’re teaching me, a new client of this company, about food,” he hissed at her and threw the sand
CHAPTER 402
“If you want to keep working in this company, then you need to do two things,” Jim said, and Lola already found herself losing her posture. “First thing. Give me my restaurant back.”“Done,” Lola didn’t even hesitate to agree. “What’s the second one?”Jim smiled and said, “There are multiple cafes in this building. I want you to open a new cafe and work as the main cook there. You’ll be taking care of that shop for the next four years. And then I’ll take reviews from the employees. If you get a majority of good votes, then I’ll promote you to a financier level. Otherwise…”Lola was shaking in rage. “You want me to cook and sell food like you and your dad did? Go to hell! I’m never doing that!” she shouted and walked away in haste.Marc followed her, but he pleasantly smiled at Jim.Jim, however, didn’t even bat an eyelid.After Marc and Lola left the building, with the latter looking extremely humiliated, Jim turned to face Rena, “Was I too harsh?”Rena slightly shook her head. “She h
CHAPTER 401
Jim put his hand forward, and Steve gently held it and kissed it.Lola’s heart, brain, lungs, and many other organs seemed to be suddenly failing to work at this very instance. The mobile and handbag in Caylene’s hand dropped. Her dad tilted his head back in stupendous shock.Marc looked utterly dumbfounded.Tom and his dad and sister seemed supremely flummoxed.Austin, on the other hand, looked horrified. Elisha’s face also froze in a bit of horror.Rena was the only one who was able to move. “W-What is this, Jim?” She stepped forward. She knew who Steve was, so she looked at Steve. “Why are you bowing to my husband? What is this? Why did you call him Lord Jim?”“He’s from the line of kings, so how else would you want me to call him?” Steve replied, still kneeling even though it was hurting him to do that at his age.“F-From the line of Kings? Who? Jim?” Rena looked very confused.“I cannot speak more about the Lord while in his presence,” Steve added. “So, please forgive me for not
CHAPTER 400
On the ground floor, more than a dozen guards were lying on the floor. Some were still conscious but were in too much pain to get back.There were many people standing, but most of them were not even willing to step forward or get themselves involved in whatever was happening.Jim was still holding the broken arm of Austin who was crying blood at this point. Jim had defeated the guards while holding Austin’s arm. And this brought greater pain to Austin. The only reason he didn’t pass out from pain was because Jim bolstered his mind with psychic vivre so that he’d be able to endure it to an extent. Austin was not aware of this. Even though he was able to bear the pain, the pain was still there. He had to withstand the indescribable pain that throbbed all across his arm, especially near his elbow and shoulder.“Y-You monster…” Caylene couldn’t believe what had happened. She was not expecting Jim to defeat the guards so easily. “Just take some money and get lost from here.”“You can’t so
CHAPTER 399
Steve Millman was talking with someone on his mobile.“He is likely going to come to your office today,” Bernard was speaking from the other side.“Lord is?” Steve was startled. “Today?”“Treat him well. I’ll be sending you his photo, so don’t mess up, or you’re the only one who’s going to suffer, Steve,” Bernard said and ended the call.As Bernard waited, every second felt long.More than fifteen long seconds later, he received a notification. He saw the photo. “So, this is Jim Draknor. He looks to be barely thirty. No, he could be younger.” He gritted his teeth. “I have to bow to this brat?” His ego felt very hurt right now.He called someone on his mobile and said, “I sent you a picture. Find out his identity immediately.”“Yes, sir. Just give me a minute.”Steve stayed on the call, and then the person from the other side said, “Sir Steve, I found information on him. He used to be an ordinary chef, but only a day ago, his name has been spreading through the underground circles all
