"Huh? Wellstone Collage? Wait, why Wellstone College? What does that place have to do with any of this?" Johnathan asked in a panic after thinking about all his classmates that must have gotten admitted there.Primrose High school just like a select few other schools of similar status has a partnership program with Wellstone College. This partnership makes their students more favored during the selection process for admission.Certainly, some of the people who wrote the admission exam with Johnathan would have been admitted there, people like Molly and Bradly so the thought of that place being connected to this case was alarming.“Late Master Jaxon and I have been investigating this case for over a decade now by going with what little memory he had of the event. Just recently, one of our channels revealed to us a connection with Wellstone Collage that we didn’t know before” Abraham saidJohnathan looked down at the letter and creased his forehead. He said, “So are you saying that one

"Wait, you're Gustav? The designer Gustav?" Johnathan asked in amazement.Gustav walked closer quickly and bowed his head to Johnathan and so did his assistants."Yes Master Cross, that's me. It's my absolute pleasure to meet you and to be of service to you. These two with me are my assistants Lynette and Tori" Gustav said and remained to bow until Johnathan told him and his assistants to raise their heads."So Gustav, what brings you here? Don't tell me that you, the famous Gustav is going to be styling me?" Johnathan asked and the smirk Gustav had was all the evidence he needed."If the young master will just stand like this, I would like to take your measurements," Gustav said, showing Johnathan the exact position to stand in and Johnathan followed, acting very happy to oblige."Lynette, bring me the tape, and Tori, go bring me the materials we'll need from outside the room" Gustav instructed and his two assistants rushed to do as was told.While Gustav and his assistants did their

"Good evening Sir— Umm, I mean grandfather!" Johnathan bowed to Zebadiah. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you from Abraham"Zebadiah looked at Johnathan very well before he grinned from ear to ear."What are you doing standing over there Johnathan, come give your grandfather a big hug!" Zebadiah said, spreading his arms out and waiting for Johnathan to do what was told.Johnathan rushed towards Zebadiah, reducing the distance between him and Zebadiah by half when he paused suddenly because the door to the study was pushed open even more.The banging sound of the doorknob hitting the wall pulled everyone's attention to want to know who dared to interrupt this grandfather and grandson reunion.Johnathan quickly turned around to find out who had pushed be door and standing by the doorway was an elderly woman with flowing long pudding hair, dressed elegantly and was a similar age to Zebadiah."Where is he?! Where is my darling grandson, Johnathan?!" The woma

Johnathan looked at the pen and hesitated to take it."What's the matter, Johnathan? Take this pen and sign on these documents" Zebadiah said with a commanding tone and Johnathan took it."Our family is the number one and only deliverer of Oat Stone, the most precious mineral in the entire world and we've been doing that since the mineral was first discovered. That's how we've managed to amass such a tremendous amount of wealth throughout the centuries" Zebadiah said as he leaned back into his chair.Johnathan was skimming through the documents, reading what his role as the heir of the Cross fortune was going to be."With our monumental wealth that we can never exhaust even if we tried, what other way is there to spend it than investing in the creation of other very lucrative businesses? These documents have a list of all the businesses we have shares in, how many there are, what they are worth, and their ROI"Johnathan went through the list and after a quick math, he saw just how muc

After his meeting with Zebadiah was over, Johnathan left the study and went looking for Margaret like he promised her he would.Going one time around the mansion while he and Abraham were on their way to meet Zebadiah was enough for Johnathan to make his way around the labyrinth of passages this massive mansion had to offer on his own.He was easily able to make his way to the living room where Margaret would be waiting for him on the couch. Surprisingly, she was with something peculiar on her lap.It was a brown jewelry chest.“Grandmother” Johnathan called out and she took her attention to him, smiling immediately after she saw him.“Here Johnathan, come sit beside me,” Margaret said, patting the couch while adjusting herself to give him ample space to sit on.“You wanted to speak with me, Grandmother?” Johnathan asked as he was sitting down.“Yes, but first of all, how did your meeting with Zebadiah go?” She asked and Johnathan creased his forehead, thinking if he should tell her w

“The Blood Cross?” Johnathan mumbled as he peered closer at the necklace, especially the pendant.His eyes quickly caught sight of strange markings all over the item.“This entire piece is made from the purest Oat Stone and it was a gift from the founding family to ours,” Margaret said and Johnathan ran his finger along the pendant to feel what those strange markings felt like.“If you look closer, those are the faces of all of the previous heirs of our family. The last two are Zebadiah and Jaxon” Margaret said and it finally clicked in Johnathan’s mind what he was looking at.The faces of his ancestors on the pendant had seemed obscure and hard to identify until Margaret told him what they were and he was finally able to see them.“But wait, there’s a smooth space at this end. This part underneath dad’s face is completely untouched” Johnathan said, pointing at the bottom end of the upright post(the vertical part)With a smile, Margaret said “That part is for your face when you become

From the outside looking in, Johnathan was amazed by how beautiful the inside of the apartment was. Aside from his family's mansion, this was the second most impressive interior he's seen in his life."After acquiring this place, I had contractors change some things to suit what someone your age would be interested in Master Johnathan," Abraham said and the two walked into the building.Johnathan wondered what those changes could have been but he soon found out when he was taken on a quick tour of the apartment and what each floor had to offer.There was a gym, a swimming pool, a movie theater, an arcade filled with different amazing games and so much more.The last place they went to was the empty garage."There's nothing here," Johnathan remarked, confused as to what the room they were in was."Yes Master Johnathan, but this is where your cars will be parked. Because it's not that big, I decided to wait until you chose the type of vehicles you'd want to drive before having them mov

The two bouncers stepped closer, pounding their fists and glaring at Johnathan."No wait, I might have lost my ID but there's still a solution," Johnathan said in a panic as he backstepped some more."Oh really? And what solution is that?" The bouncer to the left asked aggressively."You have point zero two seconds to spit your solution out or get pummeled to the ground like a worm," the bouncer to the right said as the two slowed how fast they were approaching Johnathan."I remember what my ID number is so I'll just log into my student portal using my phone," Johnathan said then smiled nervously.Both bouncers looked at each other before looking back at Johnathan."Alright, you have one minute to get it done so do it. Know this, if this is another lie then you really are a dead meat!""Better pray for a good internet connection cause a second later and we won't hear anything you have to say" the bouncer to the left instructed.Johnathan took in a deep breath and then sighed to calm d
