A few moments earlier."Jack, there's a much better way to get revenge!" That was the sentence uttered by Quantara just before Jack directed his fist towards Harry's face."What should I do?""Challenge him to a cooking duel!""Why challenge someone I'd have to destroy their face to cook? I'll beat him up right now!""Jack, you already have 90 points in the system! You just need ten more points to reach the next level!""I know! But I told you, I won't let anyone insult my mother, let alone threaten her to breathe freely! I can't help but feel like crushing him!""That's the point! Every time you're in a critical situation, the system will adjust the situation to your condition! If it's about saving someone's life then what you do can become a mission!""Are you saying that saving Matilda is the same as completing a mission?""Exactly! And if you manage to eliminate the threat to that woman, you'll earn an additional 10 points that will take you to the next level!""But why should I c
"One hundred million! If you pay me a hundred million right now, I'll give you the ownership of this restaurant!""Lenora, but didn't you say you wouldn't sell it?" Napoleon's face showed that he might only have a slight objection. Though, in reality, what he felt in his heart was more than that."Even if you were to sell it, shouldn't you sell it to me, who made the offer first?""Forgive me, Napoleon!" Lenora just shook her head weakly with a slightly uncertain look.Napoleon looked disappointed with Lenora's response."This is all because of you, troublemaker!" Napoleon yelled at Jack. "You shouldn't have been allowed to be here from the beginning!"Lenora's recent answer made him unable to contain his anger towards the young man any longer. "Now get out of here before I do something that will make you regret!""Mr. McFadden, didn't I make it clear from the beginning that I want this restaurant? Then why should I leave if I can pay for it?""You really have a big mouth! Show us all
Matilda looked at her son, almost at a loss for words."Mom, is there something wrong?" Jack asked, smiling."No! I just don't know what else to say now! You make me so proud!" Matilda wiped tears from her eyes."You shouldn't make decisions too quickly, Mom!" Jack said, grinning in a way that was hard to interpret.What did he mean?"I want you to sign this paper!" Jack handed her the paper, smiling sincerely."Jack..." Matilda couldn't continue her words as the corners of her eyes welled up again.All she could do was hug her son."I know you've wanted to open a restaurant for a long time! And since I have some money, why not make it happen for you!"Matilda shook her head. "No! I don't want this! The restaurant will remain yours!""But, Mom...""No! Don't argue with me this time! You have to obey me!" Matilda showed a stern expression Jack had never seen before. "If I say this restaurant is yours, then nothing can change my decision!" she said, maintaining the same expression."Alr
"Get out of here now or you'll regret it!" The owner of the voice shouted again.Jack seemed to be familiar with it, since he could remember it coming from a woman who had once flirted with him.When Jack turned his head to the side, it was exactly as he had thought. "You!"It was the woman he first met at Sunflower Plaza.Rebecca!"How dare you enter my parents' house!" Rebecca rushed towards Jack with hands on her hips."I warn you for the last time, get out of this house quickly!" she said, gesturing with her index finger towards the door.Although Rebecca was clearly driving Jack away, she secretly continued to observe the appearance of the young man, which she found to be very different from the last time she saw him."He's wearing expensive suits? Huh, not bad!" she thought. "I'm sure he must have stolen them from somewhere! Crafty thief!"Jack just frowned, unable to understand why this woman had suddenly become so rude to him. "Wasn't she very nice to me at Sunflower Plaza?" h
Rat-tat-tat-tat!Bang-bang!The echoing sounds of gunfire continued for a few moments until Lenora raised her hand, gesturing for the shooters to hold their fire.Because Calder Manor was built of selected natural stone and fine wood, the sound of gunfire could not be heard from outside. This made it the perfect place for an execution."Check him!"Upon Lenora's command, ten black-clad men stationed at various points began to slowly move towards the front door.However, before they could move any further, screams rang out from one of them. "Aaargh!"A black-clad man fell to the ground."Aaargh!" Another one fell."Aargh!" Another voice echoed.Within seconds, more than half of them had been disabled.In the dark surroundings, they couldn't identify who had attacked them.They also couldn't use their weapons without clearly seeing their target. Otherwise, there was a good chance they would shoot one of their own comrades."Aargh!" Another soldier was disabled."Form a circle formation!
Rebecca stared at Jack, unable to say anything. With a gun pointed directly at her face, cold sweat continued to flow from her face and throughout her body. "Why are you silent? Didn't you want to kill me earlier? Now tell me, what mistake have I made that makes you so eager to end my life?" Jack said angrily. He couldn't forget what the girl had tried to do to him. Unbeknownst to Jack, someone had been observing his face and body from head to toe repeatedly. "Andrews..." Jeremy opened his mouth, looking at Jack with a gaze filled with curiosity and various questions. "Why do I feel you resemble my friend, Gunnar Andrews so much?" Jack shifted his gaze towards Jeremy. It was then that he noticed the look in the old man's eyes when he stared at him was different from the look of the two women. "You really do look so much like him! Cough-cough!" Jeremy could only utter one sentence as it seemed his condition was worsening. Unable to hold his body any longer, the old man suddenly f
Right when the clock struck midnight, Rebecca arrived carrying the ingredients Jack requested.When the girl looked at her father, she saw that Jack had stuck a number of needles into different parts of his body.Seeing that the girl had come, Jack approached her and took the ingredients in her hands."I will make the potion now! Whatever happens to Mr. Calder, do not remove any needles from his body!"Both women nodded in agreement.Jack then headed to the corner of the room where Lenora had prepared the necessary equipment for making the potion.Jack cut some ingredients and lit the stove, placing a golden pot on top of it.After a while, he added the cut pieces into the golden pot.Soon, a strong aroma of tree roots filled the room. Not only because of the nature of the medicinal ingredients but also due to the influence of the golden vessel. The golden vessel made the brewing process more perfect as the ingredients melted together better.Not only that, when Jack added certain ing
When Jack found out that he wasn't the only one with quantum powers, it made him slightly worried and curious at the same time. "It seems like my future is going to be even more interesting!" he thought to himself. He realized that it was possible he would meet others with similar powers. "But if I'm the only one with a system, how do they get their cultivation energy, and how do they develop it?" While Jack was still immersed in these questions, Jeremy's call snapped him out of it. "Jack, is everything okay?" The old man noticed that Jack was just standing there silently, staring at one spot on the table. He was worried that something was bothering him. "Yes, I've been thinking, Mr. Calder! It seems that it's only a matter of a few more days until you'll be back to your best!" Jack smiled. "You really remind me of your father!" Jeremy couldn't hide his admiration for Jack. "I don't know how to thank you, but I'll never forget it!" "No problem!” Jack shook his head. “Mr. Calder,
