Lydia was the first to speak, breaking the uncomfortable silence "Sir" " she called weakly

And just then, Morgan remembered that there was another person in the room. He shifted his gaze towards her and said endearingly,

"Thank you, Lydia, that will be all",

However, just as the girl turned to leave, he quickly said "Hold on a minute Lydia", then turned towards George with a warm smile and asked

"What's your poison, George?",

George replied with a shy grin "A bottle of Chardonnay is just fine"

"Please..." Morgan said and ushered him to a seat directly opposite his.

As they sat down, Lydia brought over the drink with a couple of glasses and walked out of the room immediately after pouring it.

George nodded gratefully after taking a sip of the wine and went straight to the point

"You seem like a busy man Morgan, so I'll keep this brief and try not to waste your time" he spoke hurriedly

However, Morgan ignored his remarks and took another sip of the wine

"Can you taste that?" He asked

    Morgan awarded the contract to George right after. The plan was moving perfectly without any hiccups.Jonah had decided to get back at the entire Smith family for what they did to him. He was set on a course of revenge and was taking everyone downThe construction of the Grindel foundation was set at a distance location away from the heart of the cityThe reasons for these were a secret only known by Jonah and his VP Jerry Paul. This building site was purchased under Jonah's name and not the company, so whatever project was done there, legally belonged to Jonah Blake, not Grindel EnterpriseHowever, when George signed the contract, he signed it as an independent contractor with Grindel EnterpriseThis was his first and biggest mistake. Just like most construction projects around the city, George was given a part funding to begin the project and provide the enterprise with an estimated budget of the cost of construction for the building, which he would be paid on completion of the buil

    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 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.

    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.

    Everyone was silent when Jonah finished his sentence. After a short while, Mark Galaza asked with an uneasy expression on his face “What do you mean by that young man?”At this time, there was plenty of discussions among the guardian family and no one had expected Jonah to say something as ludicrous as that. According to what the Hudson family had informed him. The young heir of the Blake family was finally going to join them. Together, the four families were going to reshape and remake the new world how they wanted it. But to do that, they still needed the powers of the Osini.They were well acquainted with the prophecy, that the human faction shall rise up against them after the chosen heir defeats the Osini. The only way to ensure that this would not happen was to convince him to use the powers of the Osini to keep the humans in check and by so doing, exact dominance and control over them. At this time, Mark suddenly spoke up “Everyone please calm down. I think Mr Blake is tryi

    Without wasting any time, the chief of police marched forward and slapped the handcuffs on Vic’s wrists. This time around, Vic did not resist the arrest. However, upon seeing him handcuffed, the rest of the people in the crowd started pleading and begging Jonah to spare them “Mr Blake, please forgive us. Can’t we just forget about this experience, I promise we won’t do anything to piss you off again”George Smith, still greatly bewildered and shocked, marched towards Jonah but as he got closer, Jerry stepped forward and blocked his path. He shook his head disdainfully and sneered “Where do you think you’re going?”“I want to have a word with Jonah”“Mr Blake” Jerry corrected grimacing at him Jonah waved his hand and spoke softly “Allow him Jerry. Let me hear what Mr Smith has to say” George strode forward and stood in front of Jonah, afraid to look him in the eye. Then out of nowhere, he knelt and started begging “Please forgive me Jonah.

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    “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

    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

    “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
