Right at that moment, Jonah received a call from Jerry Paul. At first, Jonah was reluctant to answer the call, he believed that Jerry had called to tell him what information he gathered about Henry Boyd, and did not want the man to know that he was being investigated However, when Jerry called again, Jonah excused himself into the study and picked up the call and asked "What's up?","Have you found anything?", "Sorry sir. Our men are still digging. It seems like our man does not have any records" Jerry said disappointedly "What do you mean?" Jonah asked bewildered"It means that whoever this man is, he is very good at what he does. There are no criminal records or any personal information about him anywhere. No kids, no family, nothing","I'm sorry Mr Blake. We'll keep searching", Jerry said apologetically Jonah remained quiet for some moments. Skeptical thoughts filled his head about Henry, he couldn't tell anything for sure. However one thing was sure, Henry Boyd was either hidi
"So tell me Mr Boyd, how exactly do you know that I'm a gift user?" Jonah asked with an air of suspicion After the call with Jerry, he felt more alarmed by how Henry knew about gift users in the first place. Gift users were the universe's protectors. They existed to make sure that there was a balance in the energy cycle in this worldAs such, they were only recorded as myths in books and tales in Children's books, but still, there were a few exceptions who knew about their existence. At this point, it all made sense Henry belonged to the "Ogle organization", which was why there was no trace of Henry BoydThese people were the most exclusive organization in the country and the only people who knew that Gift users existed. This would explain how he could tell what Jonah was. Henry's expression shifted when he heard those words. He could sense that Jonah was on to him, however, if he needed his young master to focus on finding his parents, he needed to keep his other agenda a secretHe
The Giorgio family was famous and rich from owning several automobile shops and restaurants in the city. However, they were mostly seen in one of their locations at Greenwell. It was far from the city, but famously known for having some of the most luxurious cars in the cityAfter leaving the house, Jonah and Henry arrived at The Giorgo Autoshop. The building was at a corner of a wide street. From the exterior, it looked quite big, occupying two floors with their family name boldly encrusted on a sign outside the building.When Jonah drove to the entrance of the shop, there was already a row of cars parked near the entrance and several people were outside smoking and chattingHe recognized some of them. They were his old classmates and friends of Peter. Jonah still remembered the guy who seemed to be closer to Peter. His name was Jeremy Williams and he was a famous rich kid in their schoolOn the contrary, Jeremy was partly envious of Peter, but never acknowledged itAt the moment, Je
A wry smirk appeared on Jonah's lips as Jeremy said this. The car which he arrived in was a rare vintage BMW 520 series. Compared to the 530, this car had a striking physical resemblance. The only difference would be noted in the interior leather seats it used, which was why Jeremy was led to believe that it was indeed the 530 series.However, the difference between the engine and features of these cars was great. The vintage 520 Jonah arrived in, used a 6.8-liter displacement with 700 horsepower v8 engine, as compared to the 5.6-liter displacement and 550 horsepower v6 engine of the 530 models.Also compared to Jonah's 570 series, which had a 6.2-liter displacement with a 600 horsepower v6 engine, Jonah's car was still the better and faster car through and through. They were incomparable in terms of speed and performance. However, how would Jeremy realize that Jonah's car was actually a rare vintage supersport BMW? The dude was still cocky and naive, assuming that he would win in a
Jeremy couldn't hold back his thrill when Jonah accepted the bet. His car was the 570 model while Jonah's car was the 530, the loser couldn't possibly win even if he tried. However just before Jonah could say anything, he interjected swiftly "You know what Jonah, I'll make this even more interesting. If you can win this race by some miracle, I'll give you ten thousand dollars cash, you can buy yourself something nice to wear with that", Jeremy said pompously"What's the catch?" Jonah asked intriguedAt this time, a sinister smile appeared across Jeremy's face. He turned and blurted loudly for everyone to hear"If you lose this race. You'll give me Ava's number, I'd like to take her on a ride" Jeremy said teasingly He knew mentioning Ava might throw him off course, and just like his best friend Peter, Jeremy had secretly doted on Ava for years, and could not understand why she would end up with a poor bastard like Jonah. It felt unnatural, but finally, this was his window to get a ch
After turning around at the intersection, Peter saw Jonah already at the finish line and fumed in angerWhat the heck was going on?!Since when could the 530 model surpass the 570 so much?! It didn't make any sense. That bastard must have done something to his carAt this time, the terms of their bet had not registered in Peter's mind yet, he felt cheated. How dare Jonah use a modified car to fuck him over?When he finally drove the car back towards everyone. Jonah was leaning against his car with some of the watchers, clapping and cheering in admiration over his victory Everyone was extremely shocked. They couldn't figure out how Jonah's 530 could be so fastPeter stopped the car and barged out, stomping towards them, "You little fucker!" He roared "You think you're so slick that I wouldn't notice what you did?You modified your car, didn't you? That's why your car is so powerful and the only reason you could beat me. You screwed me over with a modified car, I don't know if that is
Jeremy had lost his mind at the moment. He didn't want to be humiliated by Jonah the loser in front of everyone. So he bit his lips and clenched his fist in aggravationAs he turned and marched towards the entrance of the building, he stopped and bellowed "Look here all of you, I'm not a sore loser, I don't need Jonah's sympathy",Then he continued and entered the auto shop. However, due to the size of the shop, not everyone could enter the building at once. Still, the many that entered took out their phones and started recording the scene, they planned to post these videos online in case Jeremy chickened out at the last minuteAs they entered the shop, Jonah ventured away towards the luxurious car collection area of the shop leaving Jeremy to sort out the payment details. He did not go far when he was suddenly blocked by several men in black"Excuse me sir, but I believe you may be lost. Please return the same way and you'll find the exit",The outfit Jonah was wearing today was rath
Evette crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a pompous tone "Are you really asking me that question?", then sighed "Look at yourself, Jonah. Do you not see how poor and miserable you look? So what I despise you, can't you bear some criticism as well? I'm sure you must have heard enough of it by now to be used to it", she sneeredA rage of fury was slowly building up inside Jonah. At this time, he had tolerated their abuses and insults enough"Come on Jonah, don't think we wouldn't see through your sham. Everyone in college knows that you married Ava because you were desperate to change your miserable situationI guess it served you well that you became the live-in son-in-law who was despised by his family" Evette said and chuckled softly"Oh, you didn't think we knew? The whole town knows Jonah Smith, you're nothing but a miserable loser who couldn't even afford a decent meal back then and couldn't afford to keep his wife either. Yes, I heard it, Ava left you for some ri
