"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
At this time, Elijah’s assistant carefully dug a handful of incense with a golden spoon before he lit it up Soon, the white smoke slowly filled up the auction hall and it was very refreshing. When Jonah saw this, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have this. He had read about them and their powers. He knew that this just might be what would help him to get a grip of his negative imbalance and control it from overwhelming him. He nodded before he turned to Jerry and said “This is indeed the authentic whiteflame candle made out of priune bark. It is almost impossible to find this kind of incense nowadays. I want you to make a bid for it” The auctioneer knocked the gavel twice before he said, “The starting price for this incense is one million dollars and the price increase for each bid is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars” The incense burner was indeed exquisitely made and it was a rare collectible. Therefore, the auction price was very reasonable. Luckily, there were not so
Jerry was concerned at this point. There was no need for a show of force, if Jonah continued this way, it wouldn’t be long until his identity got revealed. So he stood up before he told Jonah “Jonah forget it. there’s no point bidding for it, that’s not what we came for. I’ve called Don Petro and in a few minutes he’ll be here with his men”Jonah simply smiled before he said “That’s good Jerry, but just you sit back and look at how I’m going to play with him. Capturing Kent is not the only reason I’m here. I’m going to show him he holds no power or wealth next to me”After that, Jonah raised his hand and said “Fifteen million dollars!”Everyone in the auction hall was dumbfounded at this time. The other party was bidding for eight million dollars and he had actually bid for the necklace at fifteen million dollars? Was he insane?At this time, Kent was also dumbfounded. Having been a frequent bidder at different auctions, he knew that Jonah was not playing by the rules. Since his
After making the announcement, the assistant came over to Jonah with a wireless credit card machine in her hand as she said “Mr Smith, please pay with your card now”Everyone was staring at Jonah at this moment, some thinking he would not be able to pay for the pearl necklace. Kent sneered before he said “Jonah, what’s the problem? Why don’t you try swiping your card now? I’d like to see how you can afford to pay fifteen million dollars!”Deep down, he knew fifteen million dollars was just chicken change to his nephew, however he knew if he pressured him, and tried to expose him as the president of Grindel Enterprise, Jonah might feel reluctant to make the payment.Everyone else was just as curious to see how things would turn out. Since, Jonah was so confident in his bid for the pearl necklace, would he really be able to pay for it?Jonah smiled before he took out his black card from his pocket and swiped it on the credit card machine immediately.There was no password needed
Even though Kent was slowly becoming famous in Eldredge and had to maintain his status, he was not willing to pay ten times the price for something. Therefore he started hesitating. Should he follow in Jonah’s bid or was this just part of his grand scheme to get him to spend his money? If he followed in Jonah’s bid, he would be throwing away more than ten million dollars away for just a bladeHowever, if he refused to follow, then Jonah and everyone else would make fun of him and conclude that he was just pretending. That would certainly cost him his status and deny him of any claims to the Grindel Enterprise company. Therefore, Kent gritted his teeth before he blurted out, “I will pay twenty million dollars for the blade!”The crowd of people could not help but exclaim in excitement. This had soon become a very entertaining show for them. Kent had added another ten million dollars on top of Jonah’s bid.It seemed after all that he was up for the challenge!Upon seeing his u
About an hour later, the auction was finally approaching its end. During this time, Ket did not bid for any other item because he was afraid that Jonah would outbid him again. Instead, he sat there, seeming very calculative of what Jonah’s motives were and what his next move might be.At this time, several helpers struggled to push a trolley up on stage. It seemed though there was a huge item of interest inside the trolley. Jonah held his breath as he looked at the stage. He could feel a strong and mysterious auraAt this time, a strange man who was sitting on the next table was also staring directly at the trolley and rubbing his hands expectantly. He seemed he was also interested in the item. This was the final treasureHowever, as soon as the auctioneer Elijah unveiled the curtain covering the treasure, everyone in the auction hall sighed in disappointment. It turned out that there was a big and swampy weed attached to it placed inside the trolley. At this time, there wa
