"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
When Sasha heard Jonah’s tone, she was slightly agitated by the arrogant manner he spoke to her. She remained quiet for a long while and then hissed.Without waiting for any reply from Jonah, she turned and walked away from him. Jonah hung his head low and heaved a soft breath. He knew he had annoyed her but did not have the energy to chase after her. He shifted his gaze tiredly towards Jerry and as soon as his VP saw the tired look on his face, he sighed and said “I’ll get her”Jerry Paul hastened towards Sasha and as soon as the lady turned her gaze towards him, it flushed red with angerJerry was embarrassed because it felt it would make him seem low, apologizing for the man whom Sasha knew as just his chauffeurHe swallowed the humiliation with a gentle smile across his lips and said “My apologies for the behavior of Mr Jonah, Sasha” then shifted his gaze back towards Jonah, staring at him curiously, and continued, “He seems to be in a bad mood today. But he’s right, the legal tea
Even though Jonah felt that Sasha was just being bitter, he could tell that her words were not groundless. He was partially threatened by this time and could only stare at Sasha as she strode away with a blank look on his faceThe worst case was that he could not do anything. If he tried to tell Jerry that she was again trying to use him to find out what their secrets were, it might drive a wedge between him and his most trusted friend. So Jonah sucked his teeth and swallowed his words. For now, his biggest concern was with the document Sasha was going to sign. After Jerry caught up to him, he shifted his gaze towards Jonah and said solemnly “I don’t know what is going on with you Mr Blake, but you should either get it under control or talk to someone about it else we might just lose this company and everything we’ve worked for would amount to nothing”Jonah knew Jerry was right, but how was he supposed to have things under control when everything he knew and believed had fallen
"How did you think that made me feel Mr Smith?","Yes, I must admit, I'm not proud of the life my son has led, but in the end Mr Smith, he's still my son and surely even you must understand our obligations towards our family, don't you Mr Smith?"When Jonah saw how confident Andrew was, he hissed a sigh and shook his head in disdain. Certainly, this man was desperate to be taught a lesson"But because I'm a businessman first before anything else, I'll offer you another chance"Upon hearing his sentence, Jonah raised his gaze curiously at him "How about you come to work for me and we can forget about this little mistake, wipe all the slates clean and instead of suffering by my hand, you can receive more wealth and prestige than Grindel Enterprise could have ever given you. Huh, what do you say?" Andrew asked with a sly grin on his face"What makes you think that you can steal my employee from my company?" Jerry blurted in angrily and strode in front of Jonah, staring at Andrew with a
Jonah smirked and strode towards him “Like you said Mr Andrew, it’s my job to know everything about everyone. Piece of advice, maybe instead of worrying about how to trick me into working for you, you should really be looking within the affairs of your company. It seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”“What do you mean by that? Do you know something?” Andrew asked with a confused expression on his face Jonah sighed “A prideful man cannot be taught” After that he shook his head before saying, “You don’t even know this? Have you never wondered what your son was doing when he sold more than half of your company to those ‘foreign investors’?”“What foreign investors?” Andrew asked as he stared at Jonah with a blank expression on his faceEven though Andrew was the CEO of the company, he had never spent any real time studying and handling any of the legal documents of his material company at all. To him, he was more concerned about the money he made at every year-end, and as lon
