"Oh Mr Smith, you're in my cafe!" Givon said excitedly approaching Jonah "Who the hell are you?" Carl asked sneering at the manGivon ignored Carl's remarks and shifted his gaze to Jonah, "It's so good to see you again, what do you want, it's on the house?",Carl was in an astonishing daze. These two foolish dudes dared to ignore himHe looked at Jonah coldly and shouted "Why is this loser still in my face?! Someone throw him out already!" Carl shouted, but Givon swiftly replied "Please this is a place of business sir, mind the tone of your voice?", and then turned towards Jonah "Mr Smith is this man bothering you?",Before Jonah could even respond, Carl grabbed Givon's hand and swung him around "Hey, I'm talking to you! Who the hell do you think you are?!""I'm the owner", Givon replied sharply with a cold look on his face"Finally someone I can talk to, you know this bastard?!" Carl asked and without waiting for a response, continued"This asshole came up to me and my girlfriend
Immediately after the kiss, Sasha slowly opened her eyes, pulled away from the kiss with a flustered look on her faceA touch of warmth radiated within her heart. At this moment she had her answer and realized how profound Jonah's feelings were toward herBefore Jonah could even speak, she quickly apologized "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that""I guess I just wanted to remember what it felt like" she addedJonah was dumbfounded for some moments. Then he lifted his head and looked around, clearing his throat awkwardly He was surprised when Sasha kissed him. This entire time, he couldn't tell exactly why she was looking for me, but now it was clear as the skies. She might have still been in love with himBut within his mind, he figured that could not be the only reason she came all the way to the city forThere must have been another reasonHowever, the idea of starting a romantic relationship with her at this time was disastrous, so Jonah quickly dismissed the topic before there was
Little did Sasha know that the man currently sitting opposite her was the President of Grindel Enterprise, and she had just revealed all her plans to himJonah on the other hand was a man who liked to keep things as low-profile as he could. Although he would dismissively respond to Sasha, and they had dated for a brief period, he never once revealed any personal information about himself Jonah tapped his fingers impatiently, "I'm sorry, but I can't help you, Sasha. I don't know who the president is, I'm afraid you've come all this way for nothing" Jonah said"Nothing?" Sasha asked in shock"But you've met the president", she pressed on"I didn't actually meet him in person. He was leaving the bathroom with his security details swarming around him, so I didn't actually get a chance to see his face. I think it was his personal advisor that passed me the message. I'm sorry Sasha, I wish I could help, but I don't know who he is either" Jonah said flatlySasha buried her face in her palm
The marksmen were so shocked, their hearts thumping violently. They turned around looking for who was attacking them, but couldn't find anyone Then suddenly an old man wearing a baseball cap stood in front of Jonah, his face partly hidden by the cap, so Jonah could not easily recognize him"Drop your weapons and leave this place while you still can" he warned Without hesitation, the brawny men moved forward immediately, and one reached forward to grab the man's handCrack!The mysterious man snapped his wrist and with swift movement kicked him with such great force, that the marksman landed on the hood of their truckAt this time, his baseball cap fell and revealed a slightly disheveled face with a grey beard"Master Xing" Jonah exclaimed in shock. He could finally recognize his saviorThis was his old master who had taught him cultivation after he escaped from his family's house fire. However, their reunion was highly inconvenienced by the marksmenWhen they saw that the man who ha
"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

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
