JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 56
“Rush to the top floor! Diego yelled. “And turn the damn lights on!”Now that the enemy had entered the building, the darkness would favor the opponents the most, so Diego had to tell everyone to turn the lights on. And most people on every floor did just that.But in that little span of time, Jim silently killed two more people by breaking their necks from behind and got his hands on more guns. Now he had four extra guns, so he was ready to go.As many as twenty people rushed upstairs, but Jim was already taking car of those that were on the third floor and then ran upstairs to the rooftop.The guys with machine guns started shooting the ceiling, but Diego yelled at them and told them to stop, or the ceiling might just collapse and fall on them. After all, this was an old building with cracks everywhere.“Go upstairs and deal with that punk!” Diego yelled, not knowing that Jim had already used the pipe to come down.However, Jim had to pause for a few seconds to catch his breath. “Th

Jim didn’t chase Diego straight away. Instead, he came downstairs and dealt with the remaining gangsters that were still on their feet. As he was making sure there was nobody else in the building, he stumbled on a room that was locked. He opened the door, thinking it was a storage room.But then he heard a girl crying in the darkness. For a second, his heart shook from anxiety thinking it was a ghost, but then he saw the girl. “Y-You’re…”“P-Please don’t hurt me,” the girl cried. “I beg you.”Jim understood what the gangsters were trying to do to her. “I-I’m not here to hurt you. If you trust me, c’mon out. I’ve already dealt with the guys, but we have to leave this place quickly.”She didn’t believe him, but she had no other choice but to come out of them. After seeing the dead bodies on the floor, she began to believe Jim’s words. “D-Did you kill them all?” She had heard gun noises, but she thought that it was an intergang war or something. “Are you part of another gang?”“No. These
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 58
James Debrosa, a lawyer known for handling some cases for more than twenty years, just arrived at his office that wasn’t far from the supreme court.There were more than a dozen people waiting outside his office. Four of his assistants were also standing outside the room. All of them except Jim quickly stood and greeted him respectfully. There was more fear than respect in their faces and voices, though, because most of his clients were middle class or poor people.James was a tall guy with a small mustache that made him look like the elder brother of Hitler. He glanced at the clients, and out of them, only one person was a fresh face. “Who are you?” he asked.“Jim, sir. I called you last night,” Jim was the only one who got up from the bench normally and not in a hurry.“Ah…” James entered the room without saying anything.[This guy…] Joe felt his pride hurt. [I was thinking he’d be full of ego because his assistants were also just like him.]“Well, they are always treated like super
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 59
Jim stopped by a pretty big duplex home that was even bigger than the home he and his family were currently living in. Moreover, the lawn was so big, one could play baseball or golf if wanted.However, Jim saw that the gate guard was collecting toll fees before letting anybody pass through.Jim didn’t want to waste money, so he kept his distance and tried to do pullups on the wall.“Mm?” The gate guard saw Jim looking over the wall and quickly came over to him. “Hey, what are you exercising there for?”“Oh, I was just admiring the building, sir. The house is so damn beautiful,” Jim quickly said. “Is this your house?”“No. Can’t you see my blue uniform?” the guard rebuked him. “I’m the watchman.”“Oh, c’mon, sir, you look like a handsome billionaire,” Jim patted his shoulder. “How could you be a watchman?”The guard’s expression lightened. “Haha, you’re right. My parents also used to say that I will become a billionaire one day. Anyway, what are you doing here, brother? Surely, you’re
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 60
At five o’clock in the evening. Not a single soul had been called inside, and Jim was so frustrated he started laughing all of a sudden, making the others wonder if he had gone crazy because Jim wasn’t even looking at a mobile or a tablet. After waiting for more than two hours, doing nothing but watching garden lizards and squirrels roam about on the lawn, Jim long reached his limit. The only difference was that instead of crying he was laughing, so as to not look pathetic. Jim was someone who avoided queues, whether it be at supermarkets or polling stations, but now, he couldn’t avoid the slow torture. He very much wanted to leave, but because Julia and Daniel were also involved in the issue, he swallowed his frustrations. After laughing long enough to release his negative emotions, Jim suddenly went calm as a church mouse. This behavior also seemed weird to others around him. A couple of them couldn’t wait anymore and left. Jim wished everyone else would leave, but the reality w
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 61
As Carsen and his family members were walking back to the main gate, the guard saw Jim tagging along with them and quickly intervened, saying, “Sir, this one’s a poor thief and a trickster. Don’t let him fool—”BAM~!Carsen swiftly slapped the guard, leaving him shocked.“Watch your words,” Carsen growled at him. “How dare you call this esteemed guest a thief?”The guard looked extremely baffled and hurt as well because Carsen didn’t hold back in putting strength into the slap.“Apologize to him right away,” Carsen ordered, shaking like an alpha grizzly bear.The guard frowned and then quickly lowered his head before Jim, “I’m sorry, sir. I must have mistaken you for someone else.”“Forget it,” Jim waved his hand rather indifferently and looked at Carsen. “Let’s go, sir. We can’t waste even a second with this case.”“You’re right.” Carsen and Jim hurried first into Carsen’s personal office.When Jim played the audio on his mobile, it was so shocking, Carsen sent his family members out
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 62
By midnight, two security guards were stationed outside Julia’s house. They were wearing casual outfits and were roaming like ordinary people, but they were hiding guns in many places, including many corners of Julia’s house.After Jim told Julia and Daniel about the guards, he said he had to return to his home because Rena would have long come back. Though Daniel wanted him to stay, Julia told him to go home.Jim told Daniel to be brave and take care of his mother.He then headed home.At Lola’s house.Marc was talking with his two daughters while having breakfast. “It’s been more than a day since Jim left the house. His phone is switched off, so I can’t help but wonder what kind of stupid habits he’s learning outside. It’s never a good sign when a man, especially a jobless man, stays outside home for a long time.” His target was his eldest daughter, but she was calmly eating. “Rena… did you hear what I said?”“I did,” Rena looked rather tired because she had to walk a lot during her
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 63
Jim’s sweet words melted Rena’s heart enough to give him the green signal. However, she asked him for some time to arrange the 5000 dollars.Jim understood from her words that she probably wasn’t planning to tell her mother she needed 5000 dollars for some personal reasons. She might rather ask her friends for some money. Jim knew that this wasn’t a good move, but how could he tell her that when he was the one receiving help?“I hope she won’t take the money for interest, but 5000 dollars isn’t a small amount. Even if we add 20% yearly interest, it will become 6000 dollars in a year. If it’s monthly, that’s even worse,” Jim thought. “If Lola learns about this, she won’t let Rena be. I have to warn Rena as soon as possible, but in a way she’ll understand it, instead of thinking I’m just being too bothersome.”Somewhere else in the city.Bernard Williams was traveling in a special SUV personally built for him. This looked much more classier than Carsen’s vehicle.“I heard Carsen’s daugh

AUTHOR'S EPISTLE
THANK YOU:: JIM IS HIM… is finished! Have you enjoyed it? I hope so. I definitely enjoyed writing it as it was challenging. It was supposed to be a 500 chapter long work, but I condensed it and finished it quickly. To all those who read every chapter and reached this page… you have my humble thanks. A big thanks to readers Lynn Casey, Mickey Ritch, and Liwhundebe Emmanuel for their precious votes. A special thanks to Rex Magnus for his lovely review. Much appreciated, Brother. CHARACTERS:: I hope you can take away some memorable characters from this novel. My favorite character is Jim, not because he’s the protagonist, but because he will give me food if I go to his restaurant with empty pockets more than once. He didn't have many friends growing up, but if you ask Shiney, she’ll tell you that he’s the kind you wouldn’t want to end your relationship with once you get to know him. Then again, Shiney might give you a different answer depending on the mood she’s in when you ask her.

EPILOGUE
Sometime later.Jim and Rena were on a mountain top, enjoying the view of the magnificent forest. Her belly was slightly swollen.A couple of birds flew by.“How do they find food?” Rena curiously asked.“God provides for them,” Jim said.“Yeah, but he doesn’t drop food in their nests, would he?” Rena retorted.“We work like buffaloes, and then buy food, cook it, and then put it in our mouths, chew it, and then our stomach has to digest it,” Jim said. “Just like us, birds also fly about to find grains, bugs, spiders, and… they can see from afar unlike us. They can see a tiny spider that’s dancing on its web under a tree shade from hundreds of meters away. So, yeah, God equipped them with enough skills so they can feed themselves even though they don’t live under a roof like us.”Just then, a brown Bentley arrived at the scene.John stepped out first and then opened the door for her. She got up and said, “Why don’t you also carry me over there because I can’t walk, you know.”“I was ju

CHAPTER 405
Seeing Rena enter the kitchen, Jim also rushed in. He took the coupons from her and then kissed her hand.This was part of the deal, after all.The thing that she requested of him for being a waitress was that he would kiss a part of her body once every time she would enter the kitchen. And she was loving it now as Jim was coming up to her no matter where he was or whatever he was doing and was kissing her in unexpected ways and in unexpected places at times. Luckily, the kitchen was not open for view, or it would have been impossible to have these cuddling and kissing endeavors.As they were hugging, Rena noticed a little creature sneakily enter the kitchen. “I-I-It’s a rat!”“WHAT?” Jim was shocked and angered. How dare a rat enter his restaurant on the day he opened it? And that, too, in the middle of the day? “Where is it?”“I don’t know. It disappeared,” Rena looked around but couldn’t find it.“These things are smart. The moment they think they’re in danger, they freeze,” Jim co

CHAPTER 404
Two weeks passed since Jim revealed his ancestry to those of the Draknor Finance company.At Bob Shriner’s house.Bob had kidnapped a six-year-old girl and tied her to a chair. Wearing a clown mask, he was dancing around her chair to make her cry and feel the horror of it.After all, sacrificing after torturing the prey would bring best results for any dark path ritual, so Bob was very excited about it.After finishing his dance, he revealed his hidden knife and stabbed the girl’s head from the top. The knife went right through her skull and came down from the chin. He was grinning; however, a second later, he realized that not a single drop of blood spilled, and the little girl was grinning at him as if she was the predator and he was the prey.Bob quickly stumbled back. “W-Who the hell are you?”“She’s Systa,” a voice came from behind Bob, sending a chill down his spine because he couldn’t even sense the presence of this person. He turned back but didn’t recognize this man who was n

CHAPTER 403
A few days after Jim revealed himself to the chairman of Draknor Finance.In Draknor Finance headquarters.Lola was working alone in the cafe as Jim had told her to not hire any workers and that she must run the cafe by herself for the next four years.She was making sandwiches in the cafe, and she ended up cutting a bit of her finger while cutting tomatoes. And it made her cry from pain and then cry some more because of the hardships she was facing. As if that wasn’t enough, when she took the sandwich to the customer, he complained to her saying, “I asked you to mildly heat them in order to keep them soft. Why did you roast them this much?”“Sorry, sir. I’ll do well next time.”“Next time? You mean you want me to eat this shit right now?” The customer was none other than Joker from the Beast Dungeon.“T-That’s not shit, sir. It’s only roasted a little more than you asked for.”“So, now, you’re teaching me, a new client of this company, about food,” he hissed at her and threw the sand

CHAPTER 402
“If you want to keep working in this company, then you need to do two things,” Jim said, and Lola already found herself losing her posture. “First thing. Give me my restaurant back.”“Done,” Lola didn’t even hesitate to agree. “What’s the second one?”Jim smiled and said, “There are multiple cafes in this building. I want you to open a new cafe and work as the main cook there. You’ll be taking care of that shop for the next four years. And then I’ll take reviews from the employees. If you get a majority of good votes, then I’ll promote you to a financier level. Otherwise…”Lola was shaking in rage. “You want me to cook and sell food like you and your dad did? Go to hell! I’m never doing that!” she shouted and walked away in haste.Marc followed her, but he pleasantly smiled at Jim.Jim, however, didn’t even bat an eyelid.After Marc and Lola left the building, with the latter looking extremely humiliated, Jim turned to face Rena, “Was I too harsh?”Rena slightly shook her head. “She h

Jim put his hand forward, and Steve gently held it and kissed it.Lola’s heart, brain, lungs, and many other organs seemed to be suddenly failing to work at this very instance. The mobile and handbag in Caylene’s hand dropped. Her dad tilted his head back in stupendous shock.Marc looked utterly dumbfounded.Tom and his dad and sister seemed supremely flummoxed.Austin, on the other hand, looked horrified. Elisha’s face also froze in a bit of horror.Rena was the only one who was able to move. “W-What is this, Jim?” She stepped forward. She knew who Steve was, so she looked at Steve. “Why are you bowing to my husband? What is this? Why did you call him Lord Jim?”“He’s from the line of kings, so how else would you want me to call him?” Steve replied, still kneeling even though it was hurting him to do that at his age.“F-From the line of Kings? Who? Jim?” Rena looked very confused.“I cannot speak more about the Lord while in his presence,” Steve added. “So, please forgive me for not

CHAPTER 400
On the ground floor, more than a dozen guards were lying on the floor. Some were still conscious but were in too much pain to get back.There were many people standing, but most of them were not even willing to step forward or get themselves involved in whatever was happening.Jim was still holding the broken arm of Austin who was crying blood at this point. Jim had defeated the guards while holding Austin’s arm. And this brought greater pain to Austin. The only reason he didn’t pass out from pain was because Jim bolstered his mind with psychic vivre so that he’d be able to endure it to an extent. Austin was not aware of this. Even though he was able to bear the pain, the pain was still there. He had to withstand the indescribable pain that throbbed all across his arm, especially near his elbow and shoulder.“Y-You monster…” Caylene couldn’t believe what had happened. She was not expecting Jim to defeat the guards so easily. “Just take some money and get lost from here.”“You can’t so

CHAPTER 399
Steve Millman was talking with someone on his mobile.“He is likely going to come to your office today,” Bernard was speaking from the other side.“Lord is?” Steve was startled. “Today?”“Treat him well. I’ll be sending you his photo, so don’t mess up, or you’re the only one who’s going to suffer, Steve,” Bernard said and ended the call.As Bernard waited, every second felt long.More than fifteen long seconds later, he received a notification. He saw the photo. “So, this is Jim Draknor. He looks to be barely thirty. No, he could be younger.” He gritted his teeth. “I have to bow to this brat?” His ego felt very hurt right now.He called someone on his mobile and said, “I sent you a picture. Find out his identity immediately.”“Yes, sir. Just give me a minute.”Steve stayed on the call, and then the person from the other side said, “Sir Steve, I found information on him. He used to be an ordinary chef, but only a day ago, his name has been spreading through the underground circles all
