Jonah and Jerry moved up to the penthouse floor as Keenan was being escorted outUpon reaching the ground floor, a few of the onlookers gasped when they saw Keenan, and immediately many people took out their phones and turned on their cameras. They wouldn't want to miss such a sceneOfficer Mark immediately cleared the scene and shoved Keenan into the back of the police car. All they managed to snap was his back profileWhen Jonah saw that Keenan was escorted away from the building, he smiled satisfactorily and then turned towards Jerry, "You found him?" Jonah asked"Not quite" Jerry replied disappointingly"We did find something interesting though. The Japanese man that was rumored to have sightings of your parents, we managed to trace him down. It turns out, he's working for Don Petro",Jonah shot Jerry a confused stare. Henry had already informed him about this"What are you aiming at Jerry?", Jonah inquired"The man was found at Lincolnshire a few days ago" Jonah's eyes widened i
The next morning, Jerry arrived at Jonah's door uninvited. Upon ringing the front doorbell several times, Jonah finally tousled out of bed and hurried down to the front entranceAs soon as he opened the door, Jerry began to brief him eagerly "I've found it" he said excitedly walking past Jonah into the houseJonah rubbed his eyes curiously, then turned towards Jerry and followed him inside "Found what?" He asked"The Schitzu vase. It turns out quite a few people are looking for it as well, so there's going to be high competition to obtain this vase", Jerry replied "I had the guys dig around and they found it in the dark web, it's being auctioned at Fable Street this morning. We have no time, we need to get going if we want to arrive in time for it"Jonah nodded in response Jerry was curious. He had heard about mystical relics and the utmost benefits they had for one who possessed them, but he could not deny his concern about the Schitzu vase. Not only did this base bring success an
Snap!A sharp pain surged over Logan's wrist, but the pain only lasted a few seconds.The next second, Logan couldn't feel his right arm again!With a firm grip, Jonah effortlessly caught Logan's fist in mid-air and snapped it.He glared heavily at Logan and sneered "I said you owe me an apology!" His voice was heavy and uncompromising "You barged into me drunk and prideful, with these little snobs around, with your daddy's fast car and little rich kid attitude, and think you can disrespect me?!" Jonah growled By this time the rest of Logan's entourage, surrounded Jonah aggressively, and in a quick second they brought out some penknives aiming them at JonahSome guests started noticing the scene unfold and pulled out their phones to record, exchanging puzzled gazes"What's going on?" One person asked"It looks like some dead asshole has provoked Eely's son. Doesn't he know?", a young lady sympathised"Eely is bad news, I heard that Logan is highly favoured by his father, that's why
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 thatThe 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 airJonah 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 powerEveryone's eyes lit up immediately after they felt the effectSenator 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"It seems to have been
"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
