Jerry scoffed pretentiously "If it is really what you claimed it to be, then it'll certainly bring success and serenity. A hundred million seems like a fair price to pay for that

The man glanced at Jerry before placing a simple wooden box on top of the table. Inside the box was a wrapping around a vase, seemingly an ancient treasure. As soon as the box was opened, everyone present in the room felt as though the room had been filled with a certain chill air

Jonah knew exactly then, that was the Schitzu vase. It was just as he remembered. This mere vase with intricate patterns was one of the most dangerous relic items in the hands of anyone who knew of its real power

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately after they felt the effect

Senator Lang, who sat close to Jonah and Jerry, turned to his appraiser and asked "What do you think?"

"It's the real thing," Jonah said just loud enough for Senator Lang to gear, coyishly proving his knowledge and experience in appraisal

    "Of course! Just speak your mind. I would also like to see how you con artists lie to others" Andrew said Jonah shrugged indifferently "I'm not sure you want me to expose your little sham Mr Wiggins, but since you're willing to go this far to lie to these people, it would be rude for me to ignore you","Lie? Ironically, you think we're the liars here. Are you saying that the geomancer is wrong?", Senator Lang interjected curiouslyJonah took a glance at him and chuckled dryly, "He's the most clueless one out of all of you"Immediately he said that, Andrew became agitated "Do you have a death wish you brat?!" "The vase is real, but it's not the same one from the Lufei dynasty. That's probably why you are getting confused Mr Wiggins, so I believe you can stop trying to deceive these people and we can just go ahead with our bets",Andrew chuckled, "You're so full of shit!" Then turned towards Jerry "Mr Paul, is this how you all are in the Blake family? It's a wonder you're here, you're

    The auctioneer composed himself and grabbed the mic "Sorry, for the interruptions ladies and gentlemen, but just as the man in the kimono jacket has assured us, this is the real Schitzu vase.So, we had four hundred million, do we have 450?" The auctioneer continued Jonah had an indifferent expression on his face, this man had an eerie familiar feeling about him, almost like they had met beforeHowever, he was partly curious about Andrew and Senator Lang. The two seemed to be in cohorts with the geomancer, mainly to steal the vase. At that point, Jonah leaned toward Jerry and whispered that it was time to make their bid"600 million!" Jerry shouted, Andrew could not help but sigh in distaste when Jerry placed his bid. In truth, the Wiggins family only had influence in Surrey, which compared to Eldredge was a far smaller cityLately, their influence has become considerably smaller when Andrew's father, head of the family business, lost more than 40 percent of revenue in the company'

    "Ahhh!!" Suddenly a voice screamed, and the emergency lights came on instantly. Jonah staggered through the crowd to the stage, and as he was climbing up, a figure was passing him"The vase! It's gone!!" The auctioneer screamed And at that point, the emergency red lights came on. The crowd suddenly erupted in loud chaos, moving frantically through the hall"Get out of my way!" Andrew exclaimed, brushing past a few of the biddersJonah ignored him, his focus was on finding who stole the vase, but when the mysterious man passed him, Jonah could feel a dark aura around himHe immediately turned back to look at the figure he just passed and a strange presence settled in the airThen swiftly, he reached out his hand, grabbed the man and swung him around"Stop!", Jonah commandedClang!The lights came back on! And the whole place suddenly settled. The other bidders started returning slowly towards the stage "What happened?" Someone asked, walking towards the stageAt this time, the auctio

    "That's an interesting question Jonah" Kent interjected grinning at Jonah"Tell us, what exactly do you mean? How could I be the one with the vase?" Kent asked pretentiously Jonah stared at him objectively, if there was one thing he knew about his uncle, it's that he was a bold face liar. If neither Andrew nor Senator Lang had the vase, that meant Kent had found a way to escape with it. If he allowed Kent to lie his way out of this, then not only would the man make away with the schitzu vase. Jonah sensed that his uncle was aware of the full extents of the vase and would not hesitate to unleash catastrophe on the worldHe could not let Kent get away with it, hence he tugged at Jerry, leaned towards him and whispered an orderImmediately, Jerry pulled out his phone and called Henry BoydImmediately the call was answered, Jonah distanced himself a little from themWhen Andrew saw Jerry on the phone, he felt even more agitated. He was fairly certain that the Blake family had a hand in

    Senator Lang immediately panicked when he saw what Kent did to Andrew.Grabbing hold of one of the bodyguards, he pushed him forward immediately "Beat these fools up and make them pay for trying to fool us!""You liars! You will give us back the vase or both of you can reunite in prison. Do you know who we are to dare raise your hands against us? I will call the police if you refuse to hand over that vase" Senator Lang yelled as he exploded in anger Jonah stared at Senator Lang in disdain before replying "You do not want to be like your friend over there, do you Mr Lang? Don't be fooled, your immunity cannot help you here, so I'll give you one last chance to get your men, turn back around and leave this place immediately"Senator Lang looked at Jonah in disgust before he started speaking, "Just what the hell makes you think you can threaten us, do I need remind you of your place?

    After her last encounter with Jonah and Jerry at the company, Sasha sat in her office contemplating how things had unfold at the company. She thought it seemed rather odd that Vic would be kicked out after he openly tried to expose Jonah.At that point, she couldn't help but wonder what secret the two may have been keeping. When she first met Jerry, the man seemed askance when she asked him about the president of Grindel EnterpriseWhat was he hiding?She started connecting the dots. It didn't make sense that the mafia overlord of the city, Tony Accardo showed up to defend Jonah either. Who really was this man?At this point, a thought suddenly occurred to her. Throughout the meeting, she had observed the pair closely. Despite Jerry being the vice president of the company, it seemed that he was just the mouthpiece. Sasha could not help but notice that Jerry was taking most of his instructions from his trusted chaffeur and assistantAs she pondered the situation between Jonah and Jer

    Vic was relieved when he heard Sasha ask about Jonah's identityFor a long time, he had been uncertain about Jonah Smith and the VP of Grindel Enterprise. However, due to recent events, he became more suspicious of the pairHe thought for a moment before replying "Tsk tsk tsk, who is Jonah Smith?","Mr Smith has been a lot of things, a nobody, a driver, but one thing he has not been is truthful. I believe Jonah Smith belongs to the Blake Family, although I haven't found any sure way to prove it, I know that they're hiding something, and if my suspicions are correct. Jonah Smith is really the only Blake family member still left in the country",Sasha was still a little puzzled at this time. Jonah could not be the man she had been sent to find all this time. She expected the heir of the Blake family to be pompous, attention attention-grabbing, but Jonah was neither of those things.Besides after what she had heard about his marriage with Ava Smith and becoming the live-in son-in-law of

    Everyone was silent when Jonah finished his sentence. After a short while, Mark Galaza asked with an uneasy expression on his face “What do you mean by that young man?”At this time, there was plenty of discussions among the guardian family and no one had expected Jonah to say something as ludicrous as that. According to what the Hudson family had informed him. The young heir of the Blake family was finally going to join them. Together, the four families were going to reshape and remake the new world how they wanted it. But to do that, they still needed the powers of the Osini.They were well acquainted with the prophecy, that the human faction shall rise up against them after the chosen heir defeats the Osini. The only way to ensure that this would not happen was to convince him to use the powers of the Osini to keep the humans in check and by so doing, exact dominance and control over them. At this time, Mark suddenly spoke up “Everyone please calm down. I think Mr Blake is tryi

    Without wasting any time, the chief of police marched forward and slapped the handcuffs on Vic’s wrists. This time around, Vic did not resist the arrest. However, upon seeing him handcuffed, the rest of the people in the crowd started pleading and begging Jonah to spare them “Mr Blake, please forgive us. Can’t we just forget about this experience, I promise we won’t do anything to piss you off again”George Smith, still greatly bewildered and shocked, marched towards Jonah but as he got closer, Jerry stepped forward and blocked his path. He shook his head disdainfully and sneered “Where do you think you’re going?”“I want to have a word with Jonah”“Mr Blake” Jerry corrected grimacing at him Jonah waved his hand and spoke softly “Allow him Jerry. Let me hear what Mr Smith has to say” George strode forward and stood in front of Jonah, afraid to look him in the eye. Then out of nowhere, he knelt and started begging “Please forgive me Jonah.

    Upon hearing this, Vic was the first one to react. He suddenly bursted into a loud pearl of laughter and then stood up before he smiled and said in a calm manner. “It’s okay, calm down everyone. As usual Jonah here is thinking too big of himself, so what if you are the heir to the Blake family. Does that give you the authority to arrest everyone of us here? What even makes you think that you can arrest any of us? On what charge?” He spoke and moved closer towards him with a stern expression on his face. Standing face to face with Jonah at this time, he sneered, creasing his brows “Don’t think that you’re just because you got some money that you’re any different from the lowlife good nothing nobody that you used to be”Everyone at the conference room could not help but stare at Jonah as Vic made that statement, curious to see what he will do. Would he cower just as Vic had said. They had heard little about the president of Grindel Enterprise, but a lot more about the live-in son-in-la

    Jerry and his men were posted up a few miles away from the Daily Times Newspaper building. They had to keep out of view to avoid raising any suspicions with David Koch. Due to recent activities and his encounter with Justin, David had secretly called the attention of some editors in other newspapers. Justin had threatened him to make a report about Jonah Blake, but he knew he could not go up against the young master of the Blake family. At this point, he was in a tough situation. If he didn’t release the news on Jonah, Justin had promised to come back and finish what he started. On the other hand, if he also published another article without Jonah’s authorization. He was sure, the man would kill him. As such the only way out of this situation was to leak the secret of the president of Grindel’s identity to another publication which will then publish the article. That way if Jonah ever found out, he could claim that it was an accidental leak and blame it on his secretary, implying

    After saying this, Jonah turned and strode towards the car. Jerry quickly followed him and upon catching up to him, he grabbed his hand forcefully and asked “Where are we going to?” Jonah answered and said “To find answers. Ms Hudson owes me some explanation” he said and then turned towards Jerry “I need you to reactivate the security detail at the Blake family. It’s come to my understanding that my father deactivated them after we went in hiding. Inform all the mob lords, underground drug chain, everyone that we own. We are going to war”Immediately after saying this, Jonah turned and entered the front seat of the car. He quickly retrieved his phone and called Jean, intending to pretentiously asking about her location to meet up for the piece of the Schitzu necklace. If what Don Petro was saying was true, that would mean that Jean had been lying to him all this time. Which would mean that the other family working hand in hand with the Galazas were none other than the Hudson family.

    After the Osini fell down, Jonah heard a faint groan and quickly his brain registered that Don Petro had been injured. He swiftly turned towards that direction and headed towards the man. As soon as he arrived, he picked Don Petro up, swaddling his head carefully and turned towards Jerry“What happened? Why didn’t it work?” He asked hurriedly“I don’t know, I did everything as you instructed but his wounds were not healing. Jonah he’s losing too much blood, we can’t even rush him to the hospital. He won’t make it there” Jerry spoke frantically. Jonah turned and said “Hold yourself together. Quick hand me what’s left of that root”As he instructed, Don Petro groaned in pain, leaned in and tried to speak. At this time, his skin was pale and blood was flowing from his stomach. Still, he managed a gentle smile and started “Young master, it’s okay. I’m not afraid of dying…” as he spoke, he coughed up blood and at that point Jonah tried to urge him to stop talking but the man persisted

    “Get him out of here!” Jonah shouted. Immediately, Jerry crouched, propped Don Petro on his shoulders and carried him back towards the car. Before Jonah could react, the Osini lunged at him and punched him again in the face, but this time Jonah only staggered a few steps back and then stood up again“There he is!” The Osini exclaimed upon seeing Jonah frown furiously “The big powerful Zurik. You know you could have made this easier, but I have to admit, I think I’m going to enjoy this even more”Jonah was growing more and more impatient of hearing the Osini’s voice. He wielded the blade firmly and then with a quick movement, started running towards the Osini. As he continued, his feet started building great momentum and after a while, he started floating using the Reiki around his body to balance his momentum.Surprisingly, the Osini did not move or try to get out of the way. He remained standing and then when Jonah got closer, he held the knife and stopped Jonah mid air. It seemed

    Jonah remained quiet for a long time and then lifted his gaze and asked “And if I refuse?”Immediately, a flash of disappointment appeared on Justin’s face“Think it over again. This is what you want Jonah, what we both want” the Osini said“No, it’s not what I want” Jonah replied immediately, moving fearlessly towards the Osini“What I want is to rid the world of you. We are not the same. You say we want the same things but we don’t. You are a vile deceptive creature by nature, anywhere you go disaster and pain strikes. All you create along your path is darkness and chaos. For hundreds of years it has always been so, so I don’t care if the guardians lied to me or if the human faction will rise up and be the reason the world breaks. The difference between you and I is that you are willing to destroy and enact all sorts of evil to get what you want, even if that means having to kill thousands or millions of innocent people. You see you’ve got it all wrong, humans are not all bad. I

    “I was wondering when you were going to show up” Jonah said, addressing the Osini and pulling out the blade Immediately, the Osini’s eyes landed on the weapon and for a moment fear flashed in its eyes. When Jonah noticed this, he felt more reassured that this was certainly the weapon to take it down “Where did you get that from?” It asked with a weary look Jonah stretched out the weapon and raised his hand “What? This little thing? I’m glad you recognize it. Now you know that this fight is evenly matched” Justin laughed pompously “I wouldn’t call it even. I do recognize the weapon, those pesky villagers tried to use it on me in one of my lives” he started then looked away, “It was so gratifying when I slit all of their throats with it and burned down their village. You see I’ve been around a long time Jonah, a lot longer than you and you and I have always faced off in every lifetime and up until now you’ve always won, but now things have changed” “It took me dying several times t
