"Yes, Master Blake. Janet is briefing the rest of the board members on the plan. Everything is going smoothly",

"And George?" Jonah suddenly asked

"The old man?"

"He doesn't have a clue of what he's about to do",

"What about him? What do you want to do? Should we kick him out?" Jerry asked gesturing towards Vic. Right at this moment, a waiter approached and poured another shot into Jonah's cup

"Vic Francis" Jonah said with a trace of disdain in his voice

"That bastard is up to something, so don't kick him out yet" Right at this moment, Jonah's phone beeped, he quickly retrieved the phone to see a text from Henry

"We're in position Master Blake, let us know if there are any signs of trouble"

Right at this moment, Jerry tugged Jonah gently and gestured for him to look at the stage

At this moment, Janet was slowly and elegantly making her way up to the stage with the spotlight shining and illuminating her debonair look

She looked around in astonishment and a dazzling gaze, before stan

Upon hearing his reply, Jonah smiled mischievously, but right at that moment, he noticed a man in a beige suit and slick hair staring in his direction from across the roomHe didn't look like one of the rich snobs at this launch. This man had a sinister aura about him. One Jonah was quite familiar with. This was not just an ordinary bodyguard, this was a marksman Having noticed the man, Jonah composed himself, quickly assuming that this could have been one of the people looking for him. This meant only one thing, the man he was looking for could not be far away from here. Very possibly, he was in this room with themAfter a short while, Jonah got up and excused himself. In his mind, he knew that if this was one of the people after him, the mysterious man would signal his thug to follow behind him quicklyAt this time, Morraine shifted her gaze and saw Jonah, but did not pay much attention to him.

Sit the f*ck down!" Vic blurted angrily and stood upHe had enough of this bastard always trying to steal the limelight. Didn't he look at where he was now?! None of the fearsome bosses dared to stand up at a moment like this, but this loser had the audacity to try and steal the limelight now, knowing fully well he couldn't have been the president of GrindelThe thought was aggravating At this time, most of the people exchanged glances, puzzled "D*mn could he really be the President of Grindel Enterprise?" A man dressed in a grey tuxedo asked his friendImmediately after that, they shook their head earnestly"No, there's no way. If he were really the president, that man wouldn't dare to scold him now, would he?","We all know who he is, and why he's bitter towards the man. Poor Vic, he thought it

At the end of the day, they did not still find out who really was the President of the company. They groaned in frustration, but no one wanted to say anything. Vic was still horrified and hence immediately got up and followed Jerry. At this point, he could not ignore the questions he had anymore. He had to find out for himself what was going on. If Jonah was really the president, then it would mess up everything he planned. "Hey VP!" He called Jerry, going after him in a hurry, "Can I have a moment of your time?", Vic asked Jerry shot him a wry smile and tapped his wristwatch, "I would love to have a conversation with you sir, but I have to catch up to someone right now.

Don't shoot!" Jonah shouted in panicHenry was confused, but he swiftly ordered his youngsters to stop. Don Petro was not someone he wanted trouble with and if his young master had decided that there was no need to fight the man, he was not going to risk it either"Good call Mr Blake, maybe you're different than what I thought afterall" Don Petro said as the chopper flew away"What just happened?" Henry Boyd asked with a puzzled look on his face, quickly approaching Jonah"I thought you wanted him captured, why did you let him go?", he continued, looking at Jonah in confusionJonah turned towards him and said persuasively "You were right" he uttered flatly"What do you mean?", Henry asked, gesturing to his youngsters to scan and secure the roof"He doesn't want to kill me.

She turned to look at Jonah and his face was still inexpressive. On the other hand, the crowd stared at her with curiosity and bewilderment"Don't leave him hanging up there and embarrass us" Morraine chided with a frown on her foreheadAt this point, Ava felt divided. Recalling what Vic had said earlier when she met him outside, she started to feel a little odd about his behavior.

In about a week, 20 billion was swept out of the Grindel Account and some shareholders started pulling their shares from the company However, there was one man who saw this as a diamond in the rough, Kienan FerrWhen Kienan learned of Donald Blake's disappearance, he found that this was the perfect time to invest in Grindel Enterprise, Kienan jumped on the opportunity and bought about 20 percent of shares from the shareholders that pulled out and as he had expected, when Grindel Enterprise sh

    Very quickly, she shook her head, denying her thought, and chuckled slightlyJonah couldn't be the President of Grindel Enterprise. From what she learned about him after he disappeared on the last time she was in the city, he was a mere errand boy and live-in son-in-law of the Smith family, which was incomparable to the Blakes.If Jonah was really the heir of the Blake fortune, why would he stay and suffer in their hands for that long?As she pondered this, a question suddenly rose in her mind.

    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
