chapter 3 (the chosen one)

Jack gulped down, controlling the upcoming tears, he sniffed and looked up to the evening sky, he lived as an orphan through his childhood, and just a tool in his adult life. Now he was being betrayed and thrown away like a piece of tissue.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come into this life after all, I should just end it all and", he uttered and walked away, like. Zombie, carrying his steps like he was hiking.

He decided to commit suicide by jumping into a running car.

He headed to the highway.

He absentmindedly walked towards it with the intention to run into a car, when a vehicle suddenly screeched in front of him.

The car that screeched to a halt in front of Kyle was a sleek, black luxury sedan, its chrome wheels glinting in the evening light. A convoy of equally impressive vehicles came to a stop behind it, forming a barricade that blocked the highway. Men in black suits emerged from the cars, their eyes fixed on Kyle with politeness and respect. They bowed their heads in unison, showcasing the display of wealth

A tall, imposing figure with a stern expression, stepped forward and kneeled and bowed in front of him. The other men did. Jack's leg stuck, he couldn't lift it. He was shocked and turned around to see if they were doing all that to someone else. But it's him!. He couldn't believe what was happening, he stood there shocked and bewildered.

The men were like they popped out of Nollywood with Their glasses and pistol beside them.

"Chosen one!,". The tall man hauled, he seemed to be the leader. Jack was confused, he didn't know how to react

He found his voice pointing to himself, "you mean me?".

"Yes young master, choose one, your father calls for you, please follow us, The world needs you", The man's voice was firm and determined.

"You can't just come here, and said I should follow you or that my father calls for me when I don't even one, I think you made a mistake, it's not me you are looking for!", Jack said and immediately wanted to leave when his phone beeps. He stopped wondering what's that as he brought the phone out. It was a message. He clicked on it, and just then, his facial expressions drastically changed from confusion to shock, he was electrified as he popped out his eyes.

It was a $1,000,000,000 alert!.

"Chosen one, that is 1 billion alert, from your father, more will be waiting for you, please follow us", the man gently stated.

Jack stared at them, he gulped down. Even if he was not the one, he felt the urge to go.

The man immediately stood up and opened the black sedan door widely for him.

The others also stood up making way for him.

He looked around wondering if they were just using him for a movie shot, he walked slowly to the car.

The man took the driver seat, while the others scattered to each of Their cars and they vroom away.

After what it felt like eternity, they stopped. The man rushed out from the car to open the door for him, "You may come out sir".

Jack stepped down from the car and the air hit him hard, he gazed up and saw a tall imposing building in front of him, with the label.

"Green world".

Jack popped out his eyes, and dropped his jaw. Almost everyone in the city knows the Green world, they are the biggest entrepreneurship in the city.

"Please let's go", the man led his way to the sparkling and beautiful building, As they walked into the lobby, everything was so grand, and also full of ancient things.

The chandeliers made a sparkling and chiming lite to the marble beneath his feets. The building looked more like a penthouse. As they have to take lift to the. As the elevator stopped and they walked out, Jack found himself in a spacious and well set living room.

The men came forward and they all bowed, inside the room was a man and woman, maybe in their early 60's, with so many heavy and huge men with them, all with gun, they were also to distinctive men with them, they dressed like a ninja, with their sword kept beside them.

The woman and man slowly stood up staring at jack with so much emotion and heartbreaking expression.

"Son", the man uttered.

Jack gasps!.

The woman stepped forward, "Oh God!, My Son has grown up so big and handsome!".

At first, jack could see the resemblance in them, but what made him more shocked was the crystal jade stone necklace in their neck.

Jack has it also, the jade stone was with him since he was a child, it was apparently with him when he was a baby.

"That", he pointed at it, and also brought his own necklace out.

"Yes, it's for you, this is ours my son!, We have been waiting for you, welcome back!", The man delightfully stated.
