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
After the three bows, tears were swirling in Keenan's eyes, but he didn't dare to do anything rash now, despite the fuming rage he was feelingHe knew it would be stupid to barge at Jonah after he had already knelt and humiliated himselfSasha shifted her gaze away when she saw her father kneeling and humiliating himself. It wasn't just a shame directed toward him, Keenan had brought disrespect and humiliation to his familyNow that he would be getting arrested and had lost all the family's wealth, no one in the city would regard them anymoreAfter the third bow, Jonah looked down at Keenan and said "Mr Ferr, treat these bows as a lesson of humility for you. Next time do not chastise or try to humiliate someone just because you think you are superior to them"Keenan grumbled "Yes Mr Smith, I hear you. I'll learn from my mistakes now and never let it repeat itself",However, as he spoke, his eyes glared toward Jonah viciously, thinking 'You bastard! How dare you force me to kneel and b
Jonah and Jerry moved up to the penthouse floor as Keenan was being escorted outUpon reaching the ground floor, a few of the onlookers gasped when they saw Keenan, and immediately many people took out their phones and turned on their cameras. They wouldn't want to miss such a sceneOfficer Mark immediately cleared the scene and shoved Keenan into the back of the police car. All they managed to snap was his back profileWhen Jonah saw that Keenan was escorted away from the building, he smiled satisfactorily and then turned towards Jerry, "You found him?" Jonah asked"Not quite" Jerry replied disappointingly"We did find something interesting though. The Japanese man that was rumored to have sightings of your parents, we managed to trace him down. It turns out, he's working for Don Petro",Jonah shot Jerry a confused stare. Henry had already informed him about this"What are you aiming at Jerry?", Jonah inquired"The man was found at Lincolnshire a few days ago" Jonah's eyes widened i
The next morning, Jerry arrived at Jonah's door uninvited. Upon ringing the front doorbell several times, Jonah finally tousled out of bed and hurried down to the front entranceAs soon as he opened the door, Jerry began to brief him eagerly "I've found it" he said excitedly walking past Jonah into the houseJonah rubbed his eyes curiously, then turned towards Jerry and followed him inside "Found what?" He asked"The Schitzu vase. It turns out quite a few people are looking for it as well, so there's going to be high competition to obtain this vase", Jerry replied "I had the guys dig around and they found it in the dark web, it's being auctioned at Fable Street this morning. We have no time, we need to get going if we want to arrive in time for it"Jonah nodded in response Jerry was curious. He had heard about mystical relics and the utmost benefits they had for one who possessed them, but he could not deny his concern about the Schitzu vase. Not only did this base bring success an
Snap!A sharp pain surged over Logan's wrist, but the pain only lasted a few seconds.The next second, Logan couldn't feel his right arm again!With a firm grip, Jonah effortlessly caught Logan's fist in mid-air and snapped it.He glared heavily at Logan and sneered "I said you owe me an apology!" His voice was heavy and uncompromising "You barged into me drunk and prideful, with these little snobs around, with your daddy's fast car and little rich kid attitude, and think you can disrespect me?!" Jonah growled By this time the rest of Logan's entourage, surrounded Jonah aggressively, and in a quick second they brought out some penknives aiming them at JonahSome guests started noticing the scene unfold and pulled out their phones to record, exchanging puzzled gazes"What's going on?" One person asked"It looks like some dead asshole has provoked Eely's son. Doesn't he know?", a young lady sympathised"Eely is bad news, I heard that Logan is highly favoured by his father, that's why
Jerry scoffed pretentiously "If it is really what you claimed it to be, then it'll certainly bring success and serenity. A hundred million seems like a fair price to pay for thatThe man glanced at Jerry before placing a simple wooden box on top of the table. Inside the box was a wrapping around a vase, seemingly an ancient treasure. As soon as the box was opened, everyone present in the room felt as though the room had been filled with a certain chill airJonah knew exactly then, that was the Schitzu vase. It was just as he remembered. This mere vase with intricate patterns was one of the most dangerous relic items in the hands of anyone who knew of its real powerEveryone's eyes lit up immediately after they felt the effectSenator Lang, who sat close to Jonah and Jerry, turned to his appraiser and asked "What do you think?" "It's the real thing," Jonah said just loud enough for Senator Lang to gear, coyishly proving his knowledge and experience in appraisal"It seems to have been
"Of course! Just speak your mind. I would also like to see how you con artists lie to others" Andrew said Jonah shrugged indifferently "I'm not sure you want me to expose your little sham Mr Wiggins, but since you're willing to go this far to lie to these people, it would be rude for me to ignore you","Lie? Ironically, you think we're the liars here. Are you saying that the geomancer is wrong?", Senator Lang interjected curiouslyJonah took a glance at him and chuckled dryly, "He's the most clueless one out of all of you"Immediately he said that, Andrew became agitated "Do you have a death wish you brat?!" "The vase is real, but it's not the same one from the Lufei dynasty. That's probably why you are getting confused Mr Wiggins, so I believe you can stop trying to deceive these people and we can just go ahead with our bets",Andrew chuckled, "You're so full of shit!" Then turned towards Jerry "Mr Paul, is this how you all are in the Blake family? It's a wonder you're here, you're
The auctioneer composed himself and grabbed the mic "Sorry, for the interruptions ladies and gentlemen, but just as the man in the kimono jacket has assured us, this is the real Schitzu vase.So, we had four hundred million, do we have 450?" The auctioneer continued Jonah had an indifferent expression on his face, this man had an eerie familiar feeling about him, almost like they had met beforeHowever, he was partly curious about Andrew and Senator Lang. The two seemed to be in cohorts with the geomancer, mainly to steal the vase. At that point, Jonah leaned toward Jerry and whispered that it was time to make their bid"600 million!" Jerry shouted, Andrew could not help but sigh in distaste when Jerry placed his bid. In truth, the Wiggins family only had influence in Surrey, which compared to Eldredge was a far smaller cityLately, their influence has become considerably smaller when Andrew's father, head of the family business, lost more than 40 percent of revenue in the company'
