Kent's bodyguard caught Jonah's fist mid-air, then looked at him dead in the eye as she flung his fist. She then raised her finger, swung her head side to side, and scoffed "I was told you're powerful. Frankly, I'm a little disappointed", she utteredKent laughed out loud. He was wildly impressed by his bodyguard and said teasingly "As you can see nephew, you can't beat me."Then he lowered his gaze and said coldly "Neither could your father""I'll be seeing you soon Jonah", he added then the driver started the car. The bodyguard brushed past Jonah and entered the passenger seat, leaving Jonah flustered and bewildered by her strengthHe had filled his right fist with his Chi energy when he took a swing at Kent, but somehow she caught his fist effortlessly without taking any sort of impactRight at that moment, his phone suddenly rang again. This time, Jonah retrieved the phone immediately and answered the callJerry's anxious voice could be heard on the other end of the line"Jonah, w
Jerry took in a deep breath. Despite Jonah's eagerness to do whatever it took to ensure that Sasha got control of her father's company, he knew that he might not be so eager after what he would say next"Jonah, the man you'll have to talk to is Lucian",Upon hearing his name, Jonah froze in shockJerry quickly continued "Yeah. He's the only other person in the Eldredge who is in the same line of business as Sasha. If we want to speed up the court processes and get Sasha quick control over her father's company, we're going to have to get a letter of approval from him",Jonah did not know what to say. After what had happened at Hudson Country Club, he was almost sure that Lucian Castle would never do him any favorsThis was getting difficultAfter a long pause, he asked hopefully "And you're certain this is the only way?",Jerry lowered his gaze disappointedly and then said weakly "I'm afraid so. You're going to have to convince Lucian to sign that approval"Jonah's expression was grim,
Jonah took a few steps backward as Lucian went on rambling. This was the last thing he had expected to be doing today. It seemed that Lucian felt that just because he was paralyzed, he could not experience any other kind of pain, however, Jonah was patiently baiting him. If the man did not do what he wanted, he would show him pain beyond his current condition.After his laughs settled, Jonah turned his gaze and looked at him coldly "Are you done?" He asked, annoyedLucian composed himself and then said with a cold glare "You might as well be on your way out. Your entire trip here has been wasted. I can't help supply your company with the materials Jonah, you made sure of that", Lucian said mockinglyAt this time, he had regained some bass in his voice and so, shot Jonah a warning look and said "I'll give you three seconds to get out of my sight or I'll scream and tell the nurses that you came here to try and kill me",Jonah scoffed when he heard his threat. He ignored Lucian's remark,
As Lucian watched the water pour out into the sink, he screamed agitatedly and scowled at Jonah "You bastard! You're not going to pay for this!""You think just because you've got my signature that you can get away with this?! You think this is over?!","I will make sure that you do not get the materials for your building project, even if it's the last thing I do you fucking a*shower!" Lucian blurted in annoyance, but Jonah simply ignored his outrage and walked out of the wardHowever, just as he stepped outside, he suddenly froze in shock. Standing in front of him, dressed in a black maxi dress that displayed her elegant curves and gave you more beauty to her beautiful round face was none other than Jean Hudson, the daughter of Alex Hudson and heir of the Hudson Country ClubImmediately Jonah saw her, his eyes flushed with admiration. Jean was simply one of the most beautiful ladies in the city, and even after so many years, Jonah found himself still struck by her allurePretending t
"What do you know?" Jonah asked with curiosity Jean continued as if she had never been interrupted "I know the real reason why your parents were kidnapped and the people responsible" Upon hearing this sentence, Jonah was fired up. Since he saw Kent with the Russian guard, he had suspected that something was not rightFor the past few months, he had been under the impression that his uncle was working with Don Petro and, chasing all the wrong leads. However, Jean had just confirmed his suspicions. Kent had always been in partnership with the Galaza family. The only question on his mind at this time was why?And if so, what did Don Petro want with the Schitzu vase and even more so, why did he claim to have information about his parents' whereaboutsAs his mind delved deeper into these questions, Jean's soft voice suddenly broke him out of his trance as she said"Jonah, there's something you do not know about your parents. The conditions surrounding their kidnapping are much more compl
After speaking, Jean handed him the black card and said softly "This belonged to your father. He said it'll guide you",Jonah lifted his gaze and stared at her curiously, then asked "How do you know all these things?",Jean heaved another sigh and again reached into her bag and pulled out a similar black card. When Jonah gazed at it, he seemed even confused. The card was almost identical to the one she gave him with the exception of a small blue marking made at the edge of the cardWhy did she have one? He wondered, and just then Jean's voice sounded again. There was no other easy way to say this, so she heaved a sigh and said "My family belongs to The Collective as well", Then she turned towards him and said "Jonah, your parents and I were part of this secret group that was tasked to safeguard the Schitzu vase. That is why when you asked me to leave with you, I couldn't. I couldn't just abandon my responsibility because I knew the dangers that lurked if this vase was to fall into th
Realizing that his parents had kept him in the dark the entire time, Jonah was greatly shocked. At that point, everything seemed pointless. The main reason he was doing any of these was to find his parents and redeem their legacy, but he had just learned that this was something they decided onHe glanced at the signed document in his hand, finally he could deliver this to Sasha and get her to deliver it to the court and legally have her father's company transferred to her in a week. Everything would go just as planned, but why did he suddenly feel unmotivated?"Jonah...Jonah?" Jean's soft voice filtered into his ear as he delved deeper into his thoughts. The whole idea of revenge seemed like a waste of time now"Jonah, I understand that this is difficult to process all at once, but you're going to have to. You're the only one who can save this world and maintain it as we know it"When Jonah heard this, he shifted his gaze towards her and a soft frown creased his eyebrows. For all he
Jonah became angry and annoyed when he realized that he had been lied to yet again. Jean was a Chi manipulator and from what he could tell, she was experienced tooJean marched forward, reached into her shirt, and pulled out a jade necklaceStaring at it, Jonah was filled with curiosity. He was certain that he had seen the necklace somewhere before, but could not tell whereThe jade seemed like a regular pebble that could be found on the banks of Mount Sinah. He had read about this temple and the people from it. They were rumored to live in seclusion and practiced a rare and hidden technique called Justu, which would explain why Jean was able to mask her chi energyHowever, when he stared closely at the jade, he could see a significant difference. The front of the jade was very crude and at that time it was evident that this jade was not from Mount Syll.Still, he could feel a completely different vibe from this jadeIt was not just a vibe, it felt more like some kind of energy and ma
