“The first thing you have to know is that one of the most powerful things in the world is terminology and your ignorance right now is living proof of that.”“You think I’m ignorant?” Johnathan smacked his tongue and then asked“Yes, you are now shut up and listen. You think because you were told that you have only 13 families to look out for in the world and I will say that you are right about that. There are only thirteen families just as great and more than yours out there” Blessing said and Johnathan chipped in before she could finish.“Then what exactly are you saying?! I was always right and you just confirmed it so why were you trying to make me feel like I know nothing—“ Johnathan said but Blessing cut him off.“Since you think you know so much then answer me this little question. You were told what families fall under that list of 13 right? Then where does someone like Mr. Rose Dana fall? He isn’t on the list is he?” Blessing asked and Johnathan became speechless.“Umm, umm” h
“Wait a minute sir but you’re what to my family?! You own what?!” Johnathan asked with a look of utter shock.“Why didn’t anyone tell me about this? How long have you been connected to my family in this—“ Johnathan asked but Zachery cut him off with a hand gesture that says he should stop talking.“Hush my young friend, you might miss something important when it eventually comes up. Aren’t you here to bid so pay attention” Zachery said, then pointed at the auctioneer before turning his enter body towards the podium and resting his back on his chair.Johnathan who found figuring out Zachery’s connection to his family more important than anything the auctioneer was going to say or bring out didn’t want to just give up having his questions answered like that.He also only wants the Red Panther Black Soul necklace which would most likely come last in the lineup of items being auctioned and so he felt he did not need to listen to the rest of the items before that.“I would rather talk to y
Johnathan grimaced as he heard that "if you're so allergic then why work for someone who has a pet rabbit? Also, why take the rabbit from me when I could have given it to your master if you wanted"Blessing whose face had gotten a little red and was starting to reverse no longer had to gag and so she sighed and then looked at Johnathan."We all have our reasons for doing things. I decided to work for the master knowing the challenges but I regret nothing. Also, nobody dares try to make contact with master Zachery when I'm around. A little allergy is nothing so don't think about what just happened—" Zachery cut her off, pointing at the auctioneer on the podium and saying "Look, they just finished addressing everyone and giving the rules for the auction like they always do so it's time to start"Zachery looked at Johnathan "My friend, hope I didn't distract you from learning the rules. This looks like your first auction so forgive me if that's the case" Johnathan shrugged "I was distr
With a face filled with curiosity, Johnathan stared at the very distinguished-looking man for a few seconds, taking note of his notable features all through the span of his gaze. The first thing he noticed is that the man seemed just as tall as he was while sitting. However, Johnathan couldn't tell if they were the same height or if the man was taller because the man had his legs crossed while also slouching a little.From what Johnathan saw while walking into the room, slouching was something none of the other bidders. The only other person who slouched was Johnathan himself and for someone as distinguished and wealthy looking as the man is, that didn't make that much sense.Slouching made sense for Johnathan because the young man had lived most of his life as a normal person and so all the little bad postures and etiquette he has had all been ingrained in him for years.The months of training he did at the hospital wasn't enough to take away years of bad habits and so Johnathan won
“Hmm, who is that person? Has anyone seen his face before?” One of the bidders said to the others around himAnother bidder shrugged “I don’t know, I’ve never seen that face in any of the previous auctions, and just like the master I’ve gone to many.”“He could be new money or maybe a representative of someone big. Although I say that I still doubt that it is the case but who knows?” Another bidder added with a look of doubt towards Johnathan.The second bidder then replied “Looks super young too and I wonder how old he is. That boyish charm makes him look like a teenager but that can’t be, can it?”“Kids have no place here so I think he’s just young looking. Still, it seems I have yet another competition in this battle but regardless of that, I know that nobody is going to stand in my way of getting that treasure” one of the bidders who looked the oldest and most serious saidThe old man continued when they all looked at him “I came here for that treasured necklace after all my years
The manager chuckled nervously “Sir, I think we should go back to looking for what you wanted in the showroom so why don’t we—“ he said but Johnathan cut him off.“Nah, I don’t think so. I want to know what you were saying but stopped yourself from finishing.” Johnathan said.“Trust me, sir, it’s nothing interesting so let's go find your necklace back in one of the showrooms. I have a beautiful necklace that I’m sure will suffice—“ the manager said but Johnathan interrupted him with a hand gesture to stop talking“It’s because I trusted your words that resulted in the earlier confusion so pardon me for not being as naive a second time,” Johnathan said and the manager became worried.“But sir—““You said you were instructed to do whatever I request and right now I’m requesting that you answer my question. Don’t make me think that you’re someone who goes back on your words, Mr. Manager” Johnathan said with a slightly threatening aura about him.“I’ll say it again so I want answers. What
The manager decided to take Johnathan to a different area inside the same Jewelry shop and this place could very well be a showroom meant for the elites who can afford the pieces there.When the manager started to leave their current location, Johnathan became confused and so he refused to follow along.He looked at the worker there who paid him no mind and instead was focused on cleaning the show glass in front of him. He was a potential customer so why was the worker not more attentive?While Johnathan pondered on that, at the same time he made a mental note of why there was only one worker seen there instead of a number similar to the ones he saw during his first-ever visit to a jewelry shop for Molly’s birthday gift.The shop he went to back then was half the size of The Star Emporium and it had at least five workers on deck so us didn’t make any sense what he was seeing now.Clearly, the place is too big for just that one worker to be able to do his job properly so were the other
“Well, did he tell you that he gave me the address of a jewelry shop to go to in town and get some jewelry for the date?” Johnathan asked and Tori confirmed while also nodding her head.“Great, you know. Well, the problem I’m facing is that I’m at the address right now, standing in front of the door and I was about to go in to buy the jewelry but the door seemed to be locked”[“The door is locked? Is there a sign on the glass wall that says they’re closed for the day?”] Tori askedJohnathan shook his head and replied “No, there isn’t one. I guess that a special customer reserved the place for security reasons. There are also some black SUVs parked in front of the building right now which I assume belong to the same person and his team so I have a feeling that they might be here for a long time. Longer than I have to wait anyway.”Tori grunted and said [“Yeah, that happens sometimes. That place is a famous jewelry shop and the owner knows a lot of rich and influential figures in the fa
