JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 359
Neither Lola nor Rena could answer Jim’s question.Marc didn’t like what he was seeing at all.“Why the hell are you two not asking him where the hell he was all this time?!” Marc came forward and caught Jim’s shirt. “Where did you go for two weeks? Where’s the car? Did you sell it somewhere?”Jim kept staring at Marc. “Did you know it as well? About Shiney…”“Why is that important?” Marc pulled Jim closer. “Do you know how much we’ve suffered because of you? Rena has been hospitalized for over a week, and we’ve looked everywhere for you like fools.”Jim’s expression changed. “I was kept in a prison. I somehow managed to escape.”His words shocked Rena. “P-Prison?”“Prison? What bullshit are you talking about?” Marc yelled. In his eyes, Jim did not look like he suffered in prison for two weeks.“Dad!” Rena tried to pull Marc’s hand away. “Didn’t I tell you that Jim and I were attacked? Why are you talking as if he’s the criminal?”Marc reluctantly let go of Jim’s shirt. “Why did you c

“Don’t you get it, Rena? Everything he said is a lie,” Marc shouted. “He sold the lamborghini somewhere, spent all the money in two weeks, and then returned empty-handed to fool us with some cock-and-bull story.”“Even though he’s left, I think he might return,” Lola stated. “We should tell the police so they can help us get him to the mental hospital.” She looked at Rena. “I mean, we’ll get him treated there.”“Mom, he’s not crazy!” Rena growled back. “The words he said and those eyes were not of a crazy man! Just what are you keeping hidden from me? What is this about the black magician?”“I really don’t know what he was talking about, Rena,” Lola said. “Please trust me. Besides, do you really believe in magicians? You are highly educated unlike Jim! Don’t be fooled by his trickery!”Rena frowned. She still clearly remembered Stanley getting shot by bullets, and those bullets couldn’t hurt him at all. Then again, he must be wearing some kind of vest? She didn’t know if vests could c

The big difference between Marcus and Lola’s way of earning was that Marcus had to pay taxes, whereas Lola didn’t need to.She did offline transactions most of the time, and she would even lend money to some income tax officers, so nobody would ever question her if she was paying the taxes or not.Growing up, Jim had seen Lola and Marcus argue about it.“You pay taxes, but if you don’t, then the government will threaten to ruin your life,” Lola told him. “Why should I pay them 20 to 40 percent of my earnings under duress and threat to the biggest criminals out there?”“But aren’t you trying to increase your wealth so you can become just like those people?” Marcus asked her. “Aren’t you contradicting yourself?”“Well, we don’t live in the land of the free. We are only told and made to think that way,” Lola said. “That’s why I’ll get to the top so that I can use this system for my own benefit. Don’t worry, Brother. Even if I get stupidly rich, I’ll still be your sister, and I’ll give on

At the destroyed Beast Dungeon.The top layer was sealed up by an illusive barrier that would confuse the common people into thinking that this was a normal place.There was not a single worker in sight, and the place looked pretty much desolate.Tenzin was checking the battleground and was trying to understand what might have happened. And it wasn’t proving easy because there was too much destruction to piece things together properly.She could hear the whispers of the demons that were hovering about, and she asked them to give her explanation, but they weren’t talking with her. When she raised her voice, they went into the ground or hid under the rubble.Tenzin then looked around. “It’s a mess in here. I can tell that some of the Masters fought here from the footprints and marks their attacks left on the floor and the walls…” Tenzin uttered, “but what the hell is this strange pattern that’s filling the whole dungeon?” She could see a vague pattern on the walls of the dungeon on all

The next day.Shiney was having brunch outside at an open restaurant. She saw the magazines on the small shelf outside, and one of the business magazines had the picture of her mother on the front page.“The prodigious financier?” Shiney raised her eyebrows. “Yeah, she’s talented when it comes to profiting off the money that others earn with her sweat and blood. All in the name of interest. And she wants me to learn her business craft. I would never do it because I’m not like her. I don’t want to live by leaching other people through interest.”Just then, someone came out of nowhere and sat on the other side of the table.Shiney’s expression briefly froze because it was Jim.“Red beans and rice?” Jim looked at her plate. “You like beef, don’t you? Want me to order that?”Shiney frowned. “What are you doing here? Did they send you to bring me back home?”“No, they can’t do that.”“Mm?”“Because I left their home, too,” Jim said, startling her.“W-What?” Shiney was pleasantly surprised.
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 364
Bob was watching Enron and Rena eating at the restaurant. He was wearing a clown’s outfit, holding a chocolate box in his hand.Bob was the one who put the nano-chip in Rena’s brain so that he could later control her if she were to reject him.However, he did not expect some random guy to pop out of nowhere and control Rena with the same chip he put in her.“Enron of the Nimo tribe…” Bob was grinding his teeth very much. “How dare you try to take the woman I have my eyes on for a long time! Your death won’t be pleasant!”Bob gave chocolates to the kids that asked him for chocolates.After the children left, Bob grinned, “Those little guys don’t know that I mixed a lot of ‘nasty’ things while making those chocolates.” He felt sadistic pleasure, knowing that these kids would be eating all the sick stuff he put in those chocolates. This was just one of the ways he attained pleasure.“But this Enron doesn’t look like an easy target,” Bob thought. “Should I contact Hell Mask first and ask

Jim and Shiney were traveling in a Benz car.“Where did you get this costly vehicle?” she asked.“Rent,” he said.“Oh, where exactly are we going now?” she asked. “And how exactly are you going to buy the restaurant? Did you forget that she asked for twenty million dollars for the restaurant? Or was it thirty? I don’t quite remember. She might even raise the price this time. How are you going to pay that much amount?”“You will see soon,” Jim replied.Shiney smiled from seeing his confidence. “You didn’t loot some bank or something, did you?”Jim smiled and said, “No.”“What were you doing these past couple of weeks, Jim?” she asked.Jim’s expression changed, but he remained silent.“If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you,” Shiney said. “I’m just that glad that you are back. At the same time, if there’s anything troubling you, then do tell me. I’ll help you in any way I can. I want to prove myself useful, too, you know.”“You are going to learn how to cook along with th

All the four men couldn’t even jump after Jim shot them in their feet. They simply collapsed there and then greatly cringed in pain.Shiney was pleasantly thrilled and shocked to see that. “That’s my Jim!” she almost jumped in delight.Jim put the gun at one of their foreheads but said nothing. And that man began to pee in his pants, which grossed Shiney out, and she went back into the car.“If you threaten me again, I’ll put the bullets in your brains next,” Jim warned them by pointing the gun at one after another, and they replied by peeing some more.And then, Jim went to a nearby home. The people living in that house had just shut their doors and windows because of the gunshots.But when Jim knocked on their door, they had to open it.The head of the house, an old man, opened the door.Jim entered the home.It was a small one bedroom house, with the hall and the kitchen combined. They didn’t even have stairs leading to their rooftop.An old couple, a young lady, and two children w
