CHAPTER 62“Welcome back home Boss,” Rojo greeted Jack when he finally returned home the next day.Rojo still had deep connections in the city from his time being Raymond’s Douglas’ right hand man and he had done some snooping around and gotten some information.“Mildred said you have some information for me,” Jack replied sternly. It wasn’t a time for pleasantries for him. He had been in a sour mood since he woke up yesterday and he was itching to pay back the wrong that had been done to him.“Nothing concrete but I feel the Garners are behind this recent attack.”“Impossible,” Jack replied. The Garners have lost their wealth, power and prestige. There’s no way they could have pulled that off.“It’s possible, boss. If you remember, the cops mentioned that they saw Trent with Lewis and some other men that they couldn’t recognize. Two of them have some sort of mystical power. I also found out that a day before that, their father’s surgery had been paid for and he was flown out of the c
CHAPTER 63“Grab him,” Rojo ordered immediately. The two guards who had escorted him in as a guest, swiftly grabbed him like a prisoner but Lewis only laughed.“I came here on my own accord and you want to arrest me? Is that anyway to treat a guest?” He said in a mocking tone.“You’re no guest of mine Lewis Garner. Lock him up! I’ll be down to get some answers from him,” Jack said coldly.“Jack, Jack, Jack. Always showing off some mean bravado. You may want to check under my shirt first….I’m sure you don’t want another explosion. Oh and I’m sorry about your boy Co—”POW!A swift and strong punch from Rojo sent the rest of Lewis’ words down his throat while sending three of his teeth flying out of his mouth.“Hahaha!” Lewis laughed hysterically from his bloodstained mouth. “Your time is up Jack and there’s nothing you can do about it.”“There’s a bomb under my shirt and it’s going to go off in five minutes if you don’t let me go. Hahaha!” Lewis boasted like a power drunk maniac.“Check
CHAPTER 64After giving that order to Rojo, Jack picked up the card and walked out of the room. Dialling the number, he got the time and address to visit from the answering machine.Two days later, Jack and Eagle made their way to the address. It was a mega mansion that had for long been desolate but had been recently renovated. Jack had passed through this particular building several times in the past but what he did not know was that it was the Smith family compound.A few metres away from the compound, Jack ordered Eagle to stop the car.“We’re not there yet boss, why do you want me to stop?” Eagle questioned, slamming the brakes and pulling to the side of the road.“I’m going in alone,” Jack replied coldly.“What? No way I’m letting you do that. Those fuckers are dangerous. Heard they on some voodoo shit too. No freaking way,” Eagle countered.“They can’t harm me but you they can. It’s too fucking dangerous. Besides their request was that I come alone.”Eagle chuckled wryly. “Dange
CHAPTER 65Laurel gulped visibly. No one had ever survived his amulet before. He was sure it worked. He could feel Jack’s life force being drained away slowly by the amulet until there was nothing left to drain. He had done this countless times to countless people to know how it worked, so it wasn’t a matter of whether it worked or not. It was clear to him that Jack had died and come back to life.“What the fuck happened? Didn’t you just kill him?” Gregory asked his brother.“I did. I fucking did,” Laurel replied.“Then how the hell is he alive?” Gregory growled.“If you don’t believe me, then fucking do it yourself,” Laurel spat back in anger.He felt embarrassed. His powers felt useless. This has never happened to him before. “Maybe you should try again,” Jack said, followed by a mocking laughter.“Arghhh,” He got pissed and grabbed a gun from one of their guards, unloading round after round on an unsuspecting Jack. “Die! Die! Die! You fucker!” Laurel yelled, emptying thirty live
CHAPTER 66Loud screaming and wailing could be heard coming from below in the eerie darkness. Sounds produced as Eagle mercilessly tore through any obstacles in his way as he approached the room upstairs.Jack couldn’t see in the dark but that didn’t stop him as he made his way forward, clashing into furniture, advancing towards the Smiths and Trent with pure rage and anger in his mind.With the help of the flashlight from his phone, Gregory dashed out of the room with his brother and Trent in tow.The screams had died down and only fast heavy thuds were heard coming towards the step. Going down was not an option so the three made their way to the helipad.Eagle and Jack had caught up and were hot on their heels. Blood for Blood. The duo had only one thing in mind, avenging the death of their mutual friend, Cole Turner.“Quick, get in Brother,” Gregory yelled as he hopped in and took the pilot’s seat of the helicopter.His head was racing hard. The shock of seeing a man come back from
CHAPTER 67It was the third anniversary of the Mayor of Coral city as mayor and he was throwing a banquet to celebrate it. The wealthiest and high profile individuals of the city and the entire state were all present.Jack had been trying to reach the mayor ever since Trent’s public announcement that he and the Smith brothers were behind the bombing and collapse of his hotel but the mayor had been avoiding him.Seizing the opportunity, Jack decided to attend the party, to see if he can persuade the mayor to go back on his decision on handing his hotel to the Swift and Smith Group which belonged to the Smith brothers since it was now public knowledge that they had a hand in the bombing.The truth was that even though Trent had confessed and mentioned their supposed involvement, there was no tangible proof. It was Trent’s word against the leaders of a multi-trillion dollar corporation, so their involvement was quickly swept under the carpet and Trent alone bore the brunt, being sentenced
CHAPTER 68“Nonsense,” the mayor replied. “Mr. Bolton here is the chairman of the Blackbolt group. It doesn’t take too much wisdom to see he is only trying to spread these lies to save his company’s tarnishing image.”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the crowd.“Indeed.”“That makes sense.”“The mayor is right.”“Blackbolt is such a shady company. No wonder they took over coral city in such a short time span.”Jack scoffed. “Only one image is being tarnished here tonight and I assure you Mr. Mayor, it is not mine.”“What do you mean by that? Are you saying I am tarnishing my own image?” The mayor asked in visible fury.“Your words not mine,” Jack answered with a shrug and a deep frown contorted on the mayor’s face.“You watch your tongue when you are talking to me. Your company may be bringing millions into the economy and employing thousands of people but it doesn’t mean that you forget your place!”“It is you who has forgotten your place Mr. Mayor,” Jack berated him openly.Loud
CHAPTER 69“Ah! You-You are the godson?” Garvin asked again like he didn’t get the memo the first time.Jack wasn’t just the Godson of governor Clint, he was like a son to him. Clint and Jack’s father were childhood friends who grew up into adult friends.While Jack’s dad ventured into the business world, Clint ventured into the world of politics and throughout his thirty some years career, his campaigns have been bankrolled heavily by the Bolton family.Jack did not want to go down this route initially but the mayor had given him no choice. After it became clear that the mayor was refusing to see him on purpose, he decided to go a step ahead of the arrogant man and tonight the mayor’s action only proved Jack right.“I am,” Jack replied sternly, crossing his arms and staring daggers into the man.Garvin swallowed hard and went pale. He had to remedy himself or this could spell bad for his campaign in the next election which is just a year away.Governor Clint wasn’t just the governor o
