As soon as Jonah asked this, a bead of sweat trickled down Marcus’ forehead. This was because he knew everything Jonah was saying was true. However, he could not confront Jonah right here, or else he’d just be accepting that they were true. Instead, Marcus resorted to feigning ignorance “Well, Mr Garvey? Answer the question. How is it possible that a public servant like you barely making up to a million dollars a year can afford a necklace like this easily on your salary, especially as there’s been no records of you owning any business or belonging to any clubs that can acquire you such wealth”Marcus thought for a moment before replying “Mr Smith I think you’re taking the focus off the main purpose for this hearing today” he said trying to change the conversationHowever, Jonah was relentless and before Marcus could dismiss his questions, he quickly added: “I think the matter concerning Ms. Ferr’s account has already been settled, you’re going to sign the permit and transfer full le
The jury team immediately turned and frowned at Jonah. For a moment they almost believed him, but now that they thought about it, there was no way an esteemed judge could do what Jonah was suggesting - loot public funds.“Young man, do you know that defamation is a crime, especially when against a notary executive? How dare you speak loosely about Judge Marcus. Where did you get your audacity from?!” A man from the jury team snapped“Yes! We’d like to know the same. What gives you the authority to get up there and try to tear down the image of Judge Marcus, are you begging to be locked up?” A woman askedMarcus could not stop himself from scolding Jonah yet again “If you continue to spout nonsense, I will order the guards to put you in jail. Maybe a night or two there will knock some senses back into your head”Jonah kept quiet and then sighed as he took a few steps away from the stand. He could not believe that these people were so naive they were okay with being deceived, even when
Upon realizing that Jonah was right all along and Marcus was nothing but a crook who had dwindled his way and fooled all of them into being the judge of Eldredge City. The council decided that they had to revoke his status and immediately Jonah and Sasha walked out with the signed legal permit, they collectively wrote a letter to the city council petitioning the immediate removal of Marcus Garvey from officeThe news swept Eldredge like a typhoon and in moments, everyone was talking about the corrupt judge who had lied his way into office. However, Sasha on the other hand did not care about the buzz. She was more concerned about how Jonah knew all the things he did. At that point, she realized that if there was anyone to hold information about the president of Grindel Enterprise, it would be no one else than JonahAs they walked out the hall, she rushed toward him and grabbed his hand forcefully “How did you know all those things about Marcus?”Jonah put on a smug look and said weak
Meanwhile, after escaping the prison transport, Justin hurried to a little cabin he found in the woods to lay low for a minute. Upon realizing that none of the guards had followed him, he sank to the bottom of the hardwood floor and sighed in relief. Immediately, he started to breathe frantically. Justin had no idea what had happened earlier or how it was possible that he could even possess such powers. As he tried to trace his memories, it suddenly occurred to him. This all started after he encountered that man at the alley. What did he do to him? He wondered. But just as quickly as he pondered, his mind shifted towards Sasha. He had nearly gone to prison because of that bitch, he could never forgive her. And if she had hired him to trace Jonah, then why did he save her? Justin felt like he was hit in the head, his brain was filled with nothing but jealousy at that point. He couldn’t even touch Sasha’s hands but that lowly punk Jonah came out of nowhere and wrapped her in his
Sasha was a little dispirited after ending the call. She heaved a heavy sigh, collected herself, and turned back towards Jonah.When Jonah saw her inexpressive expression, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly approached her and asked out of concern “What’s wrong? Who was that on the phone?”Sasha hesitated at first. She feared that if Jonah got involved again with Justin’s case, it would only be a matter of time before he figured out that she was the one who hired Justin to trail him in the first place. Hence, she ignored his questions and tried to move past him, when suddenly Jonah grabbed her bicep and swung her around “Who was that on the phone Sasha?” He asked more authoritatively now. Ever since he learned that Sasha was attacked, Jonah couldn’t help but feel overprotective of her. Seeing that Jonah was not going to relent with his questions, Sasha lowered her gaze and said weakly “That was Justin. He’s escaped”When Jonah heard this, a deep furious frown creased his brow
After Jerry dropped Sasha off at her apartment. He waited around and ensured just as Jonah had asked him that she was up in her apartment before he drove off. When Jerry saw the lights in her apartment come up, he knew that she had gotten there safely and despite the urge to go up there and confront her about who her feelings truly lied with, he hissed a sigh and ignited the car. There were much more important things to attend to at the moment and right then, he pulled out his phone and quickly made a call to David Koch’s office.As soon as the man picked up, Jerry started “Mr Koch, I’ll be in your office in twenty minutes”“Who is this?” David retorted angrily“Jerry Paul, the VP of the company you’ve been dragging in your daily publications. I believe it’s time we have a talk” Jerry replied sounding very sinister.David sounded utterly shocked and frightened. Since his last appointment with Jonah, the man had been on his toes about anything that concerned Grindel Enterprise. I
“Mr Blake?..” Jerry scoffed“Jonah told you he’s the heir of the Blake family…” Jerry repeated in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that Jonah would ever reveal his identity willingly to anyone and especially not someone like David Koch.“Yes” David replied confidently. He could tell that Jerry did not believe him and so tried to convince him. He thought that all it would take is a simple phone call for him to prove to Jerry that he indeed knew who was the heir of the Blake family. With that flowing in mind, David quickly retrieved his phone and dialed Jonah“Here, I’ll prove it to you” he uttered as he put the phone on speaker and set it on the tableJerry said flatly “Stop wasting my time Koch, I know the likes of you, you’re a crook and can’t trick me into thinking you actually know who the president of Grindel Enterprise is. Or maybe this is just some elaborate scheme to get me to reveal his identity. Well, I do not know who put you up to this or lied to you that Jonah is t
Upon arriving at the company, Jerry hurriedly made his way to Jonah’s office. When he walked in, he saw the man sitting on the floor cross-legged with his eyes closed and nothing but a small card placed on his palm. By this time, Jonah knew the only way he could face the Osini again was by connecting to the jade necklace and finding the veil between the physical realm and the spiritual before Justin did. However, just like their family, the Hudson’s were carefully hidden and as such difficult to find. Hence, he thought that if he could trace the energy in the card that Jean gave him, he could find where she was staying. He executed the mental strength written in his training books and slowly inhaled the chi from the card into his bodyWhen he opened his eyes, he felt that his eyes were sparkling and rejuvenated. The aura in his body had a dramatic change and at that moment, a vision suddenly flashed before Jonah’s eyes and he could see faint traces of the chi energy in the ston
