Upon entering the boutique, the shop attendants were extremely shocked upon the horrid sightA man with a forehead tatoo was obviously the leader of the group. He stepped forward, scanned the room then pointed at the receptionist with an evil grin "You! Come here!"Although trembling in fear, the ummoning courage, the young receptionist hurriedly approached them with a bitter smile on her face, "How may I help you gentlemen?" She asked politely Before opening the shop there, Givon heard that there were protection racketeers lurking in the neighborhood. Due to its gentrified state, this part of the the city was abandoned by the police forces and deemed a dead town. The previous owner of this boutique was said to have been harassed by these youngsters that he went bankrupt and had to close the shopAs such, Elms Street soon became an abandoned neighbourhood filled with thugs, mob Lords and a high crime rate.Despite this, Givon had rented this place and opened his boutique here as he f
Givon yelled out in panic this time, right before the youngsters reached him "Okay, I will! I will! Just don't beat me",A sinister smile appeared on Heathrow's face as he waved the youngsters away, "I'll handle this" he said pompously"So are you finally ready to sign over the deeds?", he askedGivon glanced at him coldly and said "No!"As he kept hesitating, Heathrow walked up to him and threatened "Since you're so cocky, I'm increasing the original 40% to 60%. If you keep being reluctant, you'll meet your end right here and then" At this time Givon was panicked, but if he gave them 60% share, it would be like he was working for themSo he mustered his residue courage and said "If you want 60% share, you better f*cking kill me right now",Heathrow frowned and blurted "Okay, suit yourself!" Then he reached into his coat and removed a sharp bright dagger Seeing that Heathrow was slowly moving towards Givon with the knife extended, Jonah blurted "Stop!" Slowly, Heathrow turned his g
"Tell your boys to leave and never return to this boutique," Jonah said sternly Heathrow slapped himself in the face and pleaded "I'm so sorry for my incompetence that resulted in my boys offending you. Please I hope this can stay between us and not get to Mr Accardo", Jonah walked up to him and said "As long as you do not bother this boutique again, Mr Accardo does not need to know about any of this and you won't have any problems with me",Gratitude could be seen all over Heathrow's face. He immediately turned to his youngsters and ordered "Get out! If any of you ever disturbs this boutique again or does not recognize this man, I'll gouge your eyes out myself!",Jonah nodded and then moved towards Givon. The man slowly stood up from the floor as Jonah approached himStanding face to face with him, Jonah reached into his pocket and pulled out a small face towel, handing it over to him "These men shouldn't be bothering you again" he saidAt this moment, Heathrow and his youngsters h
Jonah looked at the suit for a long time unsure of how to react. He felt a little undeserving to wear the suit. The more he stared at this image, his mind pondered on what would have happened if he had taken the affairs of the family's empire more seriously In truth, Donald expected that there would be an uprising within the family. Jonay partly blamed himself for his parent's disappearance. He felt if he was strong enough or took their company's affairs seriously, he could have succeeded his father and his family never would've become a threat Slowly, with a head full of thoughts, he marched towards the suit and trailed his fingers along the seams and intricate patterns of the suit"It's one of my finest pieces" Givon's voice interjected, bringing him out from his trail of thoughts "The entire body of the suit is made of high-grade kevlar material, strong enough to stop a bullet from a ten-meter distance. It is completely undetectable because of the thinning nature of the material
"He said he couldn't let this person get in the way", Jerry replied"That he has a plan""He has a plan. What does that even mean, doesn't he understand the danger that we're in if our identities get revealed?" Janet blurted angrilyJerry remained quiet for some moments, allowing her time to process her emotions, and then continued"Uhm Janet, I understand that you're pissed, but I think it's a good plan. It'll help you guys get closer to figuring out whoever is behind this","Jonah knows that whoever found out this collaboration and revealed it to the public did so to find you guys, force you out of your hiding. So they're going to be around at the launch to see it happen""Which means that we can find them" Janet interjected calmly, and shook her head. It was a good plan, but she still felt some apprehension towards it"Yes, exactly" Jerry replied"I already have my best people, they're going to stake out the event tomorrow evening. Everyone in attendance will be processed and we're
"It's a suit," Janet said slightly confused"It was meant for my father" Jonah replied dejectedly Janet arched her brows curiously, and then shot him a sympathetic look "I'm sorry Jonah" she said"But I need you to get your act together. We have a lot of enemies, we can't afford to be soft right now",Janet hurriedly persuaded with a coy smile "I assure you, our parents are fine. We just need to find them, but for now, let's focus on the launch"Jonah nodded in acknowledgment, pulled out his phone, and called Henry. He needed his security detail to be ready in case things got out of hand at the launchAs soon as he called, the man answered "Mr. Blake", he said gently"Mr Boyd, I'll be needing your services. There's a new target on my back and I'd like you to take care of it. Now, as the President of this enterprise, my hands cannot be tied to this, so I need you to handle this entirely on your account",Henry's confusion could be heard over the phone as he asked "What do you need me
The entire Smith family was over the moon and extremely delighted. It was the most important moment in the family. The news about the Smith family being the associate partner in the Grindel Project and the invitation of the president to the launch had spread like wildfire all over Eldredge CityMorraine had invited Vic to make it up to him after what happened at Jonah's house, and as usual, despite currently being broke, Vic donned a meticulously expensive suit and a slick hairstyleAs soon as they walked into the hall, a waiter saw them and immediately came up to Vic, greeting him diligentlyAt that time, Vic saw Jonah too and immediately there was a trace of disdain in his eyes as he scanned him and said with a wry grin "You're desperately trying to fit into the higher society aren't you Jonah? I bet you're not even on the invite list, yet somehow you managed to sneak in again","Tell me, where did you even find this ridiculous suit? You look like a butler trying to impress his mas
"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 lookShe looked around in astonishment and a dazzling gaze, before stan
