Just as he rejected the call, the number called again swiftly, however this time Jonah sighed in irritation and returned to the phone in his pocketHe opened the door to the car and entered. The can driver immediately turned on the engine and drove away. For a few minutes, after they left the Smith mansion, the taxi driver kept staring at him curiouslyThe more he gave it some thought now, the more Jonah started to resemble the mysterious man on the internet. Although the video showed no view of the mysterious man's face, the driver was still not convincedJonah frowned when he noticed the man's deep gaze at him and cleared his throat awkwardly "I think you should focus on the road", he reminded the man calmlyThe driver smiled awkwardly and apologized "I'm sorry sir",Right at this moment, Jonah's phone suddenly rang again. Without glancing at the screen, Jonah could tell who the caller was. He hunkered in the backseat of the car groaned lightly in frustration and ignored the call a
The whistling night breeze blew past Henry's face as Jonah moved closer to him. Staring at his face, Henry was without a doubt that this was the right person. Finally, he regained his composure and said "My name is Henry Boyd","I'm your father's accountant and a good friend of his. I know why he disappeared and I know that the people that took him are currently looking for you.You have no reason to trust me Master Blake, but I am only here to help you", Henry said with concern Jonah didn't say a word. Instead, he shot Henry a scrutinizing gaze, then asked "How do I know you really worked for my father?",A small smile stretched Henry's lips, as he reached his hand into his suit pocket and brought out a small seal. Engraved on it was the image of a falconAs soon as Jonah saw this, his eyes widened in disbelief. This was their family seal, and it only confirmed that Henry was telling the truth. However, the seal was only given to members of the family, which meant that Henry might h
Henry wore a faint smile on his lips and then started "Mr Blake, your father's disappearance was no accident. It was a well-organized plot made by some members of your family.Grindel Enterprise shares skyrocketed a few months before he disappeared, amassing more than 50 billion dollars in a few weeks. This increased the company's net revenue just as it did their envyAfter your grandfather passed, the company was passed to your father, who grew it into what it is now. Most people did not like his success, they felt it was undeserved, so some companies collaborated on different projects, formed alliances, and spread some rumors all in attempts to ruin the company's image, and soon company's secrets started to leakIt started with the Rucki account, costing the company a loss of 20 billion in revenue. At that point, your father sent me to find out who was leaking the company's private accounts and information to his business competitorsWe knew it was an inside job, so secretly, I star
"You will regret ever crossing paths with me!" Vic yelled immediately following behind Morraine into the room"Are you insane? Who gave you the authority to go and badmouth me in front of my uncle and cost me my position in the family!" Vic sneered at JonahMorraine felt elated. Vic had proved himself exactly the type of son-in-law she wanted. She wore a wide smile on her lips and watched as Vic rained down abuses on Jonah, reminding him that he's beneath them. Her eyes as she looked at Vic were nothing but satisfied and proud. Jonah replied flatly "Why are you in my house?","Are you deaf?! Did you not hear her say we want the house deeds?! Do you want a beating?" With an ambiguous smile on his face, Jonah said "It's my house Mr. Francis and I do not have any intentions to relinquish it","You're a proud bastard Jonah, and I will make sure I lower you to where you belong",Jonah shook his head and looked at Vic as if he was looking at a clown. However, Vic felt very great about hi
Henry Hoyd pointed at the miserable woman and asked Jonah, "Does this woman bother you?"Vic felt a little off the hook considering that Henry did not turn his wrath on him. He thought by pretentious flattery that the man would have pity on Morraine and so changed the tone of his voice and pleaded respectfully"Mr. Boyd, please forgive her, she doesn't know who you are" Vic feared what Henry would do if he were aggravated. As the man looked at her in disgust, a chill ran down Vic's spine.Jonah on the other hand was watching the scene unfold with a strange satisfaction. He knew that if these thugs were really connected with the underground world, they'd know not to mess with any member of a high-profile family, and by possession of the seal Henry was a member of the Blake family.They wouldn't dare to attack him. Finally, the odds were in his favor and he could command Henry to have the thugs beat them.He didn't want to intervene. His ex-mother-in-law had always been snobbish and po
Just as she heard Jonah's voice, she opened her eyes immediately. Her mind went numb for a second as she couldn't process the thing that was happening right now. Why did the thugs suddenly stop? Was it on Jonah's command?Vic couldn't believe either that Jonah interfered with her beatings. He couldn't understand his motives. If he wanted the thugs to beat them, then why stop? Henry began to huff in anger when Jonah interfered. They were both names that should be feared and respected by everyone they came across, but instead, they suffered immeasurable embarrassment todayFirst was Vic, the foolish dude who Henry Boyd had already thought out his punishment and then this disgusting old coot was here running her mouth.Did they really think that he, Henry Boud was such a peasant that they could treat him and his young master anyhow they wanted and got away with it?His face flushed with anger and he said sternly "What are you doing Mr Smith?",Jonah shot him a faint smile and said "I'll
The impact of the blow made Vic collapse on the floor and start wailing, "Jonah please, forgive me! Spare me! Please please, spare me!",However, his pleas fell on deaf ears, as Jonah stared at him in disdain then turned and said to the youngsters "What are you waiting for? Beat the crap out of this fool! Get your hands on him now",Upon his command, the youngsters wasted no time. They dashed forward, grabbed Vic's neck and hair, lifted him, and started beating the crap out of himSoon blood flooded Vic's mouth and a few of his teeth flew out, but the youngsters showed no signs of stopping. Every punch and slap they swung across Vic's face was fast and hardAt this point, Jonah turned to Morraine and said "Do you want to save him?",Morraine remained quiet for moments. Jonah shook his head in dismay and said "Okay then, have it your way" He then turned to the youngsters and ordered "Bring her to me",Two sturdy men immediately dashed toward her and dragged her"What are you doing? Le
Vic screamed frantically. His body was immediately drenched in his own sweat. Even his pants were wet in an embarrassing spot and slumped due to the shock. Watching the horrifying scene unfold, Morraine's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, her heart thumping vigorously. However, she could not deflate her ego and beg Jonah to spare Vic's lifeJonah turned towards her with a quizzical gaze and asked, "You can save his life anytime Morraine, all you have to do is beg me" "I will never beg you" Morraine recoiled instinctively It was almost as if Jonah had counted on her saying those words. He grinned sinisterly and said "We'll see about that. This is the man you thought was better and more powerful than me? He can't even stick up for himself. Shameful!",He kicked Vic again and snarled "What a coward!",Just as he was still in the midst of extreme shock and terror, one of the youngsters raised their bat and swung it across Vic's ribsBang!The sharp pain sent a buzz to Vic's brain.
