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
Just as Laura's bodyguards pointed their weapons at Henry Boyd and his goons, she blurted again "Who are you people and what is your business here? This is a privately owned building and I assure you gentlemen you do not want to pick a fight you can't win",At this time, Jonah stepped forward and said with an impassive look "Tell your men to lower their weapons, Miss Laura. Anyone who gets in my way would be treated as an enemy. Now, take your men, leave this room, and allow me to settle my business with Justin over here",Laura remained quiet for a long time and then suddenly burst out laughing "Oh my, you Smiths are usually so delusional, it's funny. How dare you think that you can command me?" Then, sure enough, a layer of dark gloom hovered under her eyes "Look around you. Do you think you're in control here? I should warn you, under the state laws I can order my men to shoot you for trespassing, so know your place Jonah Smith or I'll show it to you", Laura said coldlyAfter that
Henry marched forward furiously and sneered at her "Laura Albert, watch your tongue! He is Jonah Blake! The young master of the Blake family!"As Henry spoke, Luara stared at him curiously and then gasped at the recognition. She could not believe it, she had been so arrogant the entire time, that she couldn't even recognize that the man standing in the room was Henry Boyd, the spokesperson of the infamous mafia Lord Tony Accardo in Eldredge He was also the man who had singlehandedly ruined many businesses in the city and was now rumored to be working for the Blake familyHow could she have been so ignorant?Why was he here?Could it be...Could it be...The young man was really... really the young master...of the Blake family?The old haggard woman collapsed on the floor instantly on her knees and started pleading "Young master..." but then Henry suddenly raged authoritatively "Silence!"Upon barking his command, Luara swallowed hard and then realized that the young master probably d
Soon after that, a quick snap resonated, followed by a painful screamHenry took the metal baton and swung it across Luara's thighs as she pleaded to no availLaura's hand broke immediatelyQuickly, the bodyguard followed through with another swing Crack!Laura had now been crippledIt was a fitting punishment, both she and Justin were now paraplegic The damage was so severe, that there would never be a chance of recovery But still, that was not enough for Jonah when he remembered the humiliation he suffered in Laura's hand when he was still the live-in son-in-law of the Smith family and the fact that Laura was just going going let Justin walk away after assaulting Sasha, he decided to teach her another unforgettable lessonWith that resolve flowing in mind, he looked around in disgust, then turned towards Henry and said "The people in this building are all criminals, they would rather let someone with a history of crime and sexual assault go scot-free. Who knows what else they've
Laura watched the entire process in horror.This was all her hard work reduced to a pile of rubbish. Every brick, every tile, every beam, everything was the result of the hard work she had put into this enterprise most of her lifeIt could be said that after her divorce and losing her family, the enterprise was now like a child And now she had to watch the child being torn down which was as tormenting and horrible as she could ever imagineAt this point, she didn't want to live in this world anymore and just wished for a quick deathHowever, Jonah would not let her die so easilyHe wanted her to taste the pain and live consciously knowing that she was taken down by a man she considered nothing but a mere loserAs the building crumbled to the ground, he glanced at both of them and said coldly "I've spared both your miserable lives, because death is a fate far lesser than the crimes you've committed, but I want you to keep this in mind, that I have people everywhere and if any of you d
Sasha frowned in confusion and said "Jonah, that building has been in operation for so many years. And it was razed to the ground by an explosion in one office. It is quite unbelievable And how did Luara even get paralysed?",Jonah seemed conflicted at that point, he didn't think that Sasha would press on about the issue. He quickly thought up another lie and said "It is true","And frankly I think it's quite awesome too. I think she was being punished for her misbehavior" Then his tone softened, Jonah reached out and held Sasha's hand carefully as he spoke "You have to understand that these people were not good. A lot of people have suffered in their hands and I think this is just karma getting at them. But you don't really have to concern yourself with these things now",However Sasha was still not convinced, something didn't seem right and as such she asked "How then did she get paralysed?","The explosion had a severe magnitude similar to a level 2 earthquake, when it happened,
After managing to convince her about the incident at Laura's offices, Jonah stood up from her bedside, pacing around uncomfortablyWhen Sasha saw him moving that frantically, she smiled wryly. She knew what this was about. In a moment of relief, she hugged him and could tell there was a brief connection between them. This might have freaked him out and was the reason he was pacing about uncomfortably now.Hence, she stood up and said softly "I'm sorry","Huh?" Jonah replied in confusion"I know you already told me we can't be anything more and that's okay, I was just excited and relieved to hear that you came for me" she spoke softlyJonah stared at her with a soft smile on his lips and said, "No, no. That is not what this is about" Then chuckled dryly"Oh" Sasha uttered disappointedly, feeling red in the face from embarrassment, and sat back on her bedFilled with curiosity, she shifted her gaze towards him and asked "You said you were on your way to meet me when you received my call
