"No!!!" Jonah shouted and immediately a powerful force blasted from his body, creating an impact almost as strong as an earthquake, blasting Xing across the distanceAt this time, Jonah's body slowly returned to the ground, as he regained his consciousnessThere was a trace of fascination on Xing's face as he witnessed Jonah's powerHe slowly struggled to stand and muttered with a wide smile on his face "He's truly the one"When his rage settled, Jonah hurried over to Xing with an anxious look and helped him to his feet"Master Xing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I must have lost control","I know" Xing's calm voice echoed into his ears"On the bright side, I've now gotten to witness a fraction of your power and seen what you are truly capable of", "Do you believe it now, what you are?" Xing tried to persuade himHowever, Jonah looked even more bewildered than before. He never knew the full extent of his powers until now and did not know how to handle itXing sensed his unease and tug
Meanwhile, Janet arrived at Grindel Enterprise already late that morning, hurrying towards the board room. The meeting with Keenan Ferr and the other board executives was scheduled for an hourImmediately Janet walked into the building, she was greeted by her assistant Asha"Ms Lowe, the board members are ready and waiting for you in the east boardroom," she said hurriedly, handing her a stack of filesShe nodded gratefully and asked tentatively "Ms Lowe, the board members are wondering if they would have a chance to meet with the president today. They expressed their concerns about investing in a company in which they have never met the president, and are saying they will pull out their shares if he does not attend today's meeting",Janet immediately stopped walking as soon as Asha said that She had expected the board members to throw such a fit, however, there was not much she could do. Jonah's identity was to remain a secret, or else the entire company would crumble Hence, she qu
"Because this 'good-for-nothing' man is my personal assistant. You look like an educated man Mr Francis, I'm sure you understand what the words mean" Jerry sneered with a sarcastic look on his faceVic frowned sinisterly. At this point, he was almost convinced that Jerry was trying to hide his boss' identity. But despite his strong gut feeling, he could not say for certain that Jonah was the President of Grindel Enterprise He needed to find another way to get the truth out of themHowever before he could speak again, Sasha interjectedly impatiently "Gentlemen! Are we going to stand around all day locking horns or actually get started on this meeting"Vic glared at her in irritation and then smirked "Of course Ms Ferr, as long as we are settled here. I believe Mr Smith and I still have a few things to discuss",Morgan frowned in annoyance when his nephew's shrill voice echoed in his ears. He could not believe that after giving him a second chance, the young brat still dared to insult
"Unhand me!" Vic growled angrily"Sir, do not make us use force on you. Just follow us quietly outside and this doesn't have to be embarrassing for you" the chief of security Marcus said, then gestured his hands and the security men stepped forward and watched Vic like eagles watching their preyVic was a little panicked by the scene. However, he tried to maintain his composure and shook the Chief of security offHe then turned towards Jonah and said coldly "This is not over. I'm going to find out what you're hiding Jonah Smith and when I do, I'm going to make sure the whole world knows your secret",Jonah shook his head profusely "We'll meet at the wedding Vic, goodluck!", Jonah said with an air of mischief in his tone Immediately after, Vic was escorted away from the boardroom, and the air of tranquility returned to the meetingRight then, Jerry stood up and glanced at the board members apologetically, "Ladies and gentlemen, sorry about that little disturbance. Let's proceed with t
"Mr. VP, I guess what we're all trying to say is that we are going to pull out our shares and investments if our demands are not being met today," Keenan said conclusivelyJerry glanced at Jonah who nodded in acknowledgment, then shifted his gaze back to the crowd "Is that how you all feel? Are you all planning to pull your shares if your demands are not met?" At this time, Jerry received approval from Jonah and was setting the men up for failure. It was time to find out who was really on their side However, seeing the look of unease on Jerry's face, the board members assumed that they were finally convincing the VP to reveal the identity of the presidentAt this time, Jonah had just finished preparing a slide show and a list of things for Jerry to address for him. However, he could not ignore Sasha's scowling gaze boring a hole in his brainIt seemed that she was still not getting over how he abruptly left her in the middle of nowhere on their breakfast date However, he could deal
"Go ahead, open it" Jerry urged with a sinister smile on his faceWhen Sasha noticed her father's reluctance, she couldn't help but wonder if there was more her father was not telling her"Dad, why aren't you opening the file?", she asked curiously "I'll answer that for you Ms Ferr" Jerry interjected smiling faintly "That's because your father has committed several insurance frauds amongst others. Contained in that file is evidence of small companies he's either threatened or forced out of business using thugs, mobsters, and blackmail to force them into giving up their businessesHe's also been involved in a lot of Ponzi schemes that robbed people of their investments and moneyIt turned out that Keenan had partnered with his friend who owned an insurance company, one which ironically he did not choose to go with for his own companyThis insurance company was offering some insurance packages with lots of high returns. Their target demographic was mainly the senior citizens who woul
Keenan scoffed and then burst out in a peal of loud laughter "Me, broke?" "You seem to be forgetting something Mr Paul, I still own twenty percent share in this company. That is more than enough to bail me out of this little situation trust me","Oh I'm aware of your shares in this company Mr Ferr" Jerry interjected with a cold smirk "But unfortunately, you no longer have any",Keenan gasped in extreme shock "What?!" And then scoffed immediately"I'm not bluffing Mr. Ferr, you can go ahead and check your assets",Although hesitant, Keenan opened his bank app to confirm if Jerry was indeed telling the truthAs soon as he glanced at his bank app, he froze in shock and the phone fell to the groundSeeing his reaction, Jerry smiled and continued "You see, we had already taken the liberty of showing your files and informing the IRS of all your financial crimes, and immediately they confirmed the evidence we provided was accurate, they were more than happy to freeze your funds and liquida
Right at this moment, Jerry received a text message from the front desk security. "Mr. Paul, the cops are coming up to the boardroom now"Jerry smirked sinisterly, then shifted his gaze toward Jonah and nodded Jonah nodded back in acknowledgment, then Jerry shifted his gaze back towards the board members, "Mr. Ferr, the cops will be walking through that door any minute from now. If you still want to save yourself, I propose this offer, and I suggest that you do not fight it for your own good - Get down on your knees and apologize to my assistant Jonah Smith, and maybe I will put in a good word with the cops and help reduce your charges",As soon as Keenan heard there was an offer on the table, his eyes brightened in excitement However, what Jerry had proposed was not any easier. He sat quietly still, contemplating his options. On one hand, for the crimes he had committed, he'd be lucky to receive anything under twenty years in prison, however, if he could swallow his pride and apolo
