"The first rule of business is always to know the people you are working with. Take me for example, I was a soft touch when I first got into this industry. My business partner sidelined me and took the majority of our profit, leaving me with crumbs.

Do you know what the worst part of this was, I did all the job, I built a connection with our customers, and what did my partner do in return? He tricked me into handling the finances. At first, I brushed it away, just like you Mr Koch, I wanted to build credibility and a solid network and help expand our business.

When I discovered the remuneration I was getting was far less than what I was making for our company, I confronted him and I learned a very crucial but painful lesson that day", Kent said then slowly lifted his gaze towards David and asked

"Do you know what I learnt Mr Koch?"

David shook his head in response

"I learned that you can lose five billion dollars in one day"

"What?" David exclaimed in shock, surprised by the numbe

    Who was he? David ponderedAnd what did this man have anything to do with the article Kent wanted him to publish about the Blake family?Except...could he be? His eyes widened in extreme shock as the thought occurred to him"Is he the heir of the Blake family? I heard rumors that they still had a family head", David asked abruptly The excitement on Kent's face immediately settled into a deep frown as he glared at David, "No, he isn't. What that man is, is an impostor and you are going to reveal that to the entire world",David could not help but feel frightened when he thought of the consequences of such actions. If it turned out that Kent was just lying and this man was indeed the heir of the Blake family, he would be as good as dead going up against a member of the Blake familyHe wanted to rethink the situation, but Kent was not giving him any other options as the man quickly blurted "Are we going to have a problem, Mr Koch? What would it be?",As Kent spoke, his expression quickl

    Vic froze in extreme shock. At first, he assumed that the man was bluffing, however judging from the serious look on his face, he couldn't help but wonderHence, he stared at Kent for some time and then asked again "Jonah Smith is your nephew?",Kent sneered sarcastically "Smith. I would admit he did a pretty good job at fooling everybody" and then his expression suddenly changed "His real name is Jonah Blake. He's the only child of his parents and an impostor who has stolen my natural right",Vic shot dagger eyes at Kent and said coldly "How do I know you're telling the truth about who Jonah really is"Kent sighed in irritation and said "Why would I lie about a pure loser like that being the heir of the Blake fortune",Then immediately, he continued "Mr...","Vic" "Vic Francis", Vic answered swiftlyUpon hearing Vic's name, Kent was intrigued and asked quickly"You're from the Francis family?", Vic nodded in response "I've heard of you guys, your uncle's company is quite a famous

    Upon reaching the thirteenth floor, Jonah stepped out of the elevator and walked towards Sasha's office. At this time, Sasha was scrolling through her contact list to find a lawyer who could defend her father in court. Earlier that day, she had received a court order to appear for her father's trial. However, despite knowing the chances of winning a court case against the Blakes especially with the records of fraud and corruption her father was involved in, Sasha still felt there was a chance she could get his prison sentence reduced if she could find the right lawyerBut so far, as she scrolled through the contact list, the only lawyer she found capable of defending her father in court was Max Peyfield.

SHe wanted to jump on the gorgeous Queen that all the men in the city were crazy aboutGawking at her with deep seductive eyes as he stealthily slid a container into his pocket and strode towards the wine cellarAs this thought ran through his mind, he pasted a smile, turned towards Sasha, and started again "I want to help Sasha. I want to help you with your father's case",Sasha almost bought into his charity act, when she suddenly shook her head and frowned in disgust upon remembering that Justin had never done anything out of his sheer goodnessWhat was he up to this time? She pondered However, a part of her was intrigued and so she let down her guard partially and asked with curiosity

    As Sasha tapped on Jonah's contact, she subconsciously speed-dialled him and started recording as she spoke "Justin, I feel a little dizzy, is there something wrong with the wine?",Justin chuckled and said with a straight face "No, I don't think so. I feel pretty much fine, this wine is quite strong, which probably is what you're feeling. It's a twenty thousand dollar bottle of wine Sasha, I don't think we should waste it. Would you like another glass?",Still struggling with her consciousness, Sasha replied "No, no. I don't think I want to. Maybe the wine had a bad reaction with my stomach because I'm not feeling quite well right now, I should probably go home and rest it out",Upon hearing this, Justin knew that the effect of the drug had completely taken over Sasha and a sly and cunning grin appeared on his face. He was sitting on the office chair opposite her, but by this time he stood up and turned toward herLooking at the nervous and restless Sasha, he smiled and said "Sha I m

    Immediately after saying that, Jonah ended the call and drove furiously to the company. Laura's Offices and Enterprise was a large building where most offices were rentals given to foreign executives who were just in the country for business purposesUnlike at Grindel Enterprise, Jonah had no authority here. He was just a regular day Joe with no prominent statue, as such when he arrived at the building, he hurried towards the front door and tried to enterHowever, he was denied entry by the security guards in front"You can't go in there sir, it's well past office hours. If you have any business to conduct here, you're going to have to come back the next day" the security guard Mark Grayson said blocking the entranceJonah creased his eyebrows and furrowed at him "I don't have time for this bullshit. A girl is in danger in there, I need to get to her", he replied swiftly and tried to barge through the officers againAt this time, the officers retrieved their tasers and aimed at him "S

    He then patted her back to offer some comfort and said "Don't worry, I'll make him pay for what he did to you",In order to help her mind not fracture from the trauma, he generated a pool of his Chi energy in his palm and transferred it into her body, making her fall asleep deeplyJonah carried Sasha and gently put her on the sofa and then turned back towards Justin, who at this time was still struggling to get on his feetJust then, a group of men all wearing black barged in through the door and surrounded them immediately. Justin trembled in great fear when he saw them and hurriedly pointed at the guards, "Save me. These guys are trying to kill me, I didn't do anything",Shortly as the men surrounded them, Jonah strode towards them slowly. He could not recognize any of these men. Upon a close look and seeing the skull tattoo on one of them, he knew for certain these were not Henry Boyd's menThere was only one mob in the whole of Eldredge that owned that symbol, and immediately he s

    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. If I knew you were the young master of

    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
