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
After Jonah let go of him and walked away, Jerry sat on the couch in an anxious manner. He knew about the dark imbalance very well, having read about it. Jerry knew that it was just a matter of time before it completely overtook Jonah He could feel his heart pounding as he thought about the consequences of what this would bring upon the world. The more he pondered on it, the more it seemed his young master was far gone. Alarmed, he knew he had to do something and quick. With that flowing in his mind, he pressed his hand and quickly stood up. Cautiously, he approached Jonah who at this time was breathing heavily trying to calm himself down. For him, it was more painful realizing that Jerry had indeed betrayed him. At this time, Jonah turned and asked Jerry “If you knew all these, why didn’t you say anything?” Jerry knew that his young master must have felt betrayed at that point and so heaved a deep sigh and strode towards him. He stared at him for some moments afraid that nothing
"You know I've been wondering ever since I got caught at Ms Ferr's office how a man like you could command a notorious man like Henry Boyd. That's when it struck me, you must have had some kind of relationship with Mr. Boyd, but what?" "So the whole time I was being transported, I started thinking, tracing back my memories to the first time I followed you. You remember right, that night you magically disappeared into that office, I put the pieces together and where it seemed like things didn't make sense, I met a man. You should know him, Kent, your uncle right?"Jonah simply replied casually, "I do not know who you are talking about, but know this, if anything happens to Henry, I will mutilate you with my bare hands"Justin laughed callously upon hearing his threat which only agitated Jonah more. After a while, he stopped and cleared his throat "Mr Smith, or should I call you Mr Blake, there's no point lying and delaying the inevitable. I know exactly who you are and now I don't hav
After he was done speaking, Jonah curled his lips in disdain realizing that Jerry had been withholding information from him. He did not speak very loudly but at this time, he raised his head as he stared at him with his brows knitted together and then snorted as he glared at Jerry “Where is he?”Jerry heaved a sigh and replied in casual manner “I need you to understand that I was trying to protect you Jonah, if you faced off Kent in this state, he would have killed you”Jonah paced around angrily as Jerry spoke, his words rising his anger as they fell and then suddenly, he slammed his fist angrily into the wall and snarled “I am so sick and tired of everyone trying to protect me, I’m Jonah Blake! I can take care of my damn self! So just answer the question and tell me where Kent is!”Jerry shook his head indifferently before he said “He’s at the Lorax Auction, I can take you there”Immediately Jonah got the location, he turned and headed hastily downstairs. Without wasting any
“Me too! I want to buy one too. I want a success talisman from Mr Clarke, it would help my business ascend and I’ll finally be able to rub shoulders with the upper social circle without them bringing up my status” another person yelled “It is very difficult to get a peace talisman from Mr Clarke! But he’s willing to sell it for three hundred thousand dollars, he is truly marvelous and generous. I want four pieces!”The crowd was very excited and many of them transferred money over to Scott, Mr Clarke’s assistant just to get their hands on one of his success talismanSeeing the crowd of people that bought into their charade, Clarke leaned and whispered into his assistant’s ears and the man quickly announced “Please stand in line! You’re all in luck, Mr Clarke has decided to attempt to each and every one of you, but there will be no negotiation. If you do not have the money for it, please do not waste our time” Scott instructed as he registered them one by one. It was a very chaot
