“How did you know it was me?” Jonah asked, staring directly at Justin and gripping the knife firmly Justin smirked and jumped off from the rock he was standing on at this time“Tsk tsk tsk. Jonah…Jonah…Jonah, I have to give it to you, you’re good. You managed to fool an entire town into believing you’re some poor fool with no cent to your pocket. Even I, am impressed and that’s a lot coming from me. You already know my profile, arson, grand theft, fraud, identity theft, robbery, I’ve done it all - the perfect con man. But I doubt I could convince a whole town of people to believe a fake identity I put up and even be so immersed in the role for them to believe it, but then again, things were all made easier cause of daddy’s connections weren’t there, Mr Blake?” Justin said with a mischievous grin on his face and took another step forward “So tell me, how did you do it?” He asked, seemingly excited and curious to hear. However, just before Jonah could say anything, he quickly int
“I was wondering when you were going to show up” Jonah said, addressing the Osini and pulling out the blade Immediately, the Osini’s eyes landed on the weapon and for a moment fear flashed in its eyes. When Jonah noticed this, he felt more reassured that this was certainly the weapon to take it down “Where did you get that from?” It asked with a weary look Jonah stretched out the weapon and raised his hand “What? This little thing? I’m glad you recognize it. Now you know that this fight is evenly matched” Justin laughed pompously “I wouldn’t call it even. I do recognize the weapon, those pesky villagers tried to use it on me in one of my lives” he started then looked away, “It was so gratifying when I slit all of their throats with it and burned down their village. You see I’ve been around a long time Jonah, a lot longer than you and you and I have always faced off in every lifetime and up until now you’ve always won, but now things have changed” “It took me dying several times t
Jonah remained quiet for a long time and then lifted his gaze and asked “And if I refuse?”Immediately, a flash of disappointment appeared on Justin’s face“Think it over again. This is what you want Jonah, what we both want” the Osini said“No, it’s not what I want” Jonah replied immediately, moving fearlessly towards the Osini“What I want is to rid the world of you. We are not the same. You say we want the same things but we don’t. You are a vile deceptive creature by nature, anywhere you go disaster and pain strikes. All you create along your path is darkness and chaos. For hundreds of years it has always been so, so I don’t care if the guardians lied to me or if the human faction will rise up and be the reason the world breaks. The difference between you and I is that you are willing to destroy and enact all sorts of evil to get what you want, even if that means having to kill thousands or millions of innocent people. You see you’ve got it all wrong, humans are not all bad. I
“Get him out of here!” Jonah shouted. Immediately, Jerry crouched, propped Don Petro on his shoulders and carried him back towards the car. Before Jonah could react, the Osini lunged at him and punched him again in the face, but this time Jonah only staggered a few steps back and then stood up again“There he is!” The Osini exclaimed upon seeing Jonah frown furiously “The big powerful Zurik. You know you could have made this easier, but I have to admit, I think I’m going to enjoy this even more”Jonah was growing more and more impatient of hearing the Osini’s voice. He wielded the blade firmly and then with a quick movement, started running towards the Osini. As he continued, his feet started building great momentum and after a while, he started floating using the Reiki around his body to balance his momentum.Surprisingly, the Osini did not move or try to get out of the way. He remained standing and then when Jonah got closer, he held the knife and stopped Jonah mid air. It seemed
After the Osini fell down, Jonah heard a faint groan and quickly his brain registered that Don Petro had been injured. He swiftly turned towards that direction and headed towards the man. As soon as he arrived, he picked Don Petro up, swaddling his head carefully and turned towards Jerry“What happened? Why didn’t it work?” He asked hurriedly“I don’t know, I did everything as you instructed but his wounds were not healing. Jonah he’s losing too much blood, we can’t even rush him to the hospital. He won’t make it there” Jerry spoke frantically. Jonah turned and said “Hold yourself together. Quick hand me what’s left of that root”As he instructed, Don Petro groaned in pain, leaned in and tried to speak. At this time, his skin was pale and blood was flowing from his stomach. Still, he managed a gentle smile and started “Young master, it’s okay. I’m not afraid of dying…” as he spoke, he coughed up blood and at that point Jonah tried to urge him to stop talking but the man persisted
After saying this, Jonah turned and strode towards the car. Jerry quickly followed him and upon catching up to him, he grabbed his hand forcefully and asked “Where are we going to?” Jonah answered and said “To find answers. Ms Hudson owes me some explanation” he said and then turned towards Jerry “I need you to reactivate the security detail at the Blake family. It’s come to my understanding that my father deactivated them after we went in hiding. Inform all the mob lords, underground drug chain, everyone that we own. We are going to war”Immediately after saying this, Jonah turned and entered the front seat of the car. He quickly retrieved his phone and called Jean, intending to pretentiously asking about her location to meet up for the piece of the Schitzu necklace. If what Don Petro was saying was true, that would mean that Jean had been lying to him all this time. Which would mean that the other family working hand in hand with the Galazas were none other than the Hudson family.
Jerry and his men were posted up a few miles away from the Daily Times Newspaper building. They had to keep out of view to avoid raising any suspicions with David Koch. Due to recent activities and his encounter with Justin, David had secretly called the attention of some editors in other newspapers. Justin had threatened him to make a report about Jonah Blake, but he knew he could not go up against the young master of the Blake family. At this point, he was in a tough situation. If he didn’t release the news on Jonah, Justin had promised to come back and finish what he started. On the other hand, if he also published another article without Jonah’s authorization. He was sure, the man would kill him. As such the only way out of this situation was to leak the secret of the president of Grindel’s identity to another publication which will then publish the article. That way if Jonah ever found out, he could claim that it was an accidental leak and blame it on his secretary, implying
Upon hearing this, Vic was the first one to react. He suddenly bursted into a loud pearl of laughter and then stood up before he smiled and said in a calm manner. “It’s okay, calm down everyone. As usual Jonah here is thinking too big of himself, so what if you are the heir to the Blake family. Does that give you the authority to arrest everyone of us here? What even makes you think that you can arrest any of us? On what charge?” He spoke and moved closer towards him with a stern expression on his face. Standing face to face with Jonah at this time, he sneered, creasing his brows “Don’t think that you’re just because you got some money that you’re any different from the lowlife good nothing nobody that you used to be”Everyone at the conference room could not help but stare at Jonah as Vic made that statement, curious to see what he will do. Would he cower just as Vic had said. They had heard little about the president of Grindel Enterprise, but a lot more about the live-in son-in-la
