"What are you talking about?" Jonah asked impatiently"Who is this man?","You have no idea what you truly are, don't you?" Xing said and chuckled lightly"You want to know why I came back now?" He started "I came back to help you prepare for what's to come, if you face him this way you're going to die and the world as we know it is going to fall into total darkness and chaos"Xing said, walking towards a rock by the parked truck and entering the driver's seat, then stared at Jonah who at this time was still standing next to the dead bodies, and said"Unless you want the cops or worse whoever sent these men to show up with backup and meet you here, I suggest you get in the car, let's get out of here," Xing said with a smug grin pasted on his faceJonah glanced at the dead marksmen again, groaned in frustration, and hurriedly rejoined Xing in the truckImmediately they drove away, he glared at his old master "Talk?! Do you know who those men were, and what is this greater evil that I'
Jonah sat quietly in the passenger seat of the car as they approached an old abandoned lake houseAs the car pulled to a stop, he roamed his eyes around and, then turned back to Xing and asked in confusion "What are we doing here?""We're here to teach you how to control your Chi", Xing said and then stepped out of the truck Jonah quickly jumped out of the car and followed him"There is a prophecy" Xing started as he walked toward the lake "That the Osini will awaken and face off his fated rival, the Zurik","According to old legends, the Zurik is the most powerful gift user that will walk this world" Upon seeing the completely bewildered expression on Jonah's face, Xing heaved a tired sigh and swung his arm around in a fluid motion, and at this time the lake started to form some ripples and flow out into the airJonah stared in awe. This was Litsu, the technique of manipulating the water element, by creating a non-physical path for it to flow. Unlike Xing, this was one of the chi t
"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
