2024-10-29 19:42:56"Are you deaf too?! Didn't you hear me?!" Vic growled
He felt like he was abusing a dog and wanted to hear the dog yelp and scurry away frightened. However, Jonah did not say anything, he took slow sips of his drink ignoring Vic completely.
Jonah's reaction only proved to Vic that he was the loser he thought him to be, so he increased the cockiness in his tone and sneered
"I'm going to make sure you know your place today. You'll soon know the price you pay for being so arrogant and cocky. You're just a lowly live-in son-in-law, a pathetic fool who is desperately pretending so he can delude himself that his pathetic life has some meaning.
You're nothing, Jonah! I know it, your wife knows it, everyone knows it! How dare you act like you're above me. You're better off scavenging in the streets for trash" Vic growled with a layer of infuriating rage
At that point, Nathan Lane, the head of the Lane family and CEO of the multibillion Lane Construction Company, cleared his throat interrupting Vic
Vic stopped suddenly. He had been so infuriated that he did not notice his uncle and the other family's heads glaring at him. His eyes widened in shock as if he had been struck by lighting
Horrified by their contemptuous glare, he wanted to leave but a man's charismatic voice suddenly echoed across the room
The glare on his face was filled with wrath. When Vic saw his uncle, blood drained off his face, and his eyes filled with horror
Morgan Francis snorted coldly approaching Vic "You little bastard, how dare you barge in here and offend Mr. Smith?! Do you wish to die, you stupid ingrate?! You're an embarrassment to this family name!"
Vic was so afraid; he had never seen his uncle that agitated and could only wonder why he was so angry over a loser like Jonah. However, he immediately started begging, whining regrettably
"No, uncle, that's not what I meant. It's just that this man does not belong here. He's a miserable loser who can't even afford to take care of his wife like a real man should. How could you allow this pathetic fool in here? He's a nobody"
Upon hearing those words, Morgan swung his arm across Vic's face and growled in dismay "Get out!"
Vic was extremely scared and stunned, he held his cheek in shock, nursing the pain
"Hurry and get out of here! If you dare make a scene, I'll break you in half" Morgan growled with a cold expression, and just then the doors opened and the lobby security guards entered the room
Morgan turned to the security guards and said "Kick this fool out of here!"
Vic was forcibly escorted out of the top floor and shoved into the elevator, kicking him down to the ground floor
As the elevator descended to the ground floor, Jonah's face flashed in his mind, and a sudden thought occurred to him.
'Does that loser Jonah have anything to do with Grindel Enterprise?'
The more he thought about it, the more infuriated and resentful he became towards Jonah.
As he pondered the situation again, Vic realized that it might have indeed had something to do with Jonah, but then he quickly shook his head and waved the thought
'No, it can't be. He's just a loser and is not even qualified to clean toilets' he huffed
****
Inside the dining hall on the top floor, Morgan Francis heaved a regretful sigh as he approached the table
"I'm so sorry for my nephew's behavior Mr Smith. I will make sure he gets the punishment he deserves, and hopefully, he can learn a lesson about the price he has to pay for offending you"
Jonah frowned indignantly. He had spent his days as the live-in son-in-law of the Smith family having to tolerate overpompous egotistic bastards like Vic, but now things were going to change.
He was about to speak when suddenly a call entered his phone.
"Hello, Mr Smith?" She asked politely
"Ms. Lowe, this is Jonah Smith", Jonah replied flatly
"I apologize for the delay, but I'll be flying in shortly Mr Smith," she said apologetically
The woman calling was Janet Lowe, the manager of Grindel Enterprise.
She had earned her reputation as a renowned businesswoman. Not only was she charming and respectful, but she was extremely capable of managing the business while Jonah was away, hugely impacting the success of the Enterprise today.
Besides her adept skills in the company, she was also very skilled in martial arts and ventured into the world of gambling, with a no-loss record.
Janet was born and grew up in Slovenia. Her father was best friends with Jonah's father for years, and after their disappearance, she took over the management of Grindel Enterprise, together with the VP Jerry Paul, until a year ago when Jonah resurfaced and took over the affairs of the company
As Jonah ended the call, Nathan stood up and approached Jonah together with Benson Wilson, head of the Wilson family.
They tried to make efforts to defuse the tension that Vic had caused. His company, stood to benefit from this collaboration as well if Jonah agreed to award the deal to Morgan Francis’ company
Hence, he said warmly, pulling out a Marlboro cigarette "Can I interest you in a fine cigarette Mr Smith? I feel there's been much tension, so we can cool our jets over smoke and talk business over"
"No, thank you," Jonah said
"I only smoke Dorchester" he quickly added
"We'll smoke with you," they said enthusiastically
Jonah pulled out his cigarette from his coat and handed it to them,
"I hope Francis' boy will not ruin our collaboration, Mr Smith" Benson abruptly said
"He's just as pompous as that George from the Smith family", Nathan said and quickly placed his palm on his chest, "I say that with all due respect"
Jonah took a drag of his cigarette and said "You're right, the lot of them are arrogant proud bastards",
"Imagine that Morraine's audacity to show up at the Mayor's party acting like she owns the place. Doesn't she know her place?"
"She's just as blank as her entire family” Benson replied
At that point, Jonah clenched his fist in anger. They were all right. He couldn't believe he had come here to hand deliver the deal to the Smith family. Those lowly bastards did not deserve anything anymore from him and with that flowing in his mind, he quickly blurted
"Gentlemen, I believe it's time for us to discuss business"

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.

“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.
