JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 80
Rena showed Austin one of the designs she thought for the main hall on the top floor, where the top financiers of Draknor Finance often meet.“So, you want to turn the pillars into elephant legs and use the dome structure above to build an elephant head at the top,” Austin could clearly see everything because she had drawn her imagination vividly on the paper. The elephant head was lifting up the Draknor Finance symbol with its trunk. It was wonderful to see, but Austin didn’t smile. “It seems like a nice idea. People roaming inside the hall will not think of the pillars as elephant legs, but it makes sense when they look at the full picture. However, isn't an elephant too simple of a symbol? The word Draknor sounds close to a dragon, so why don’t you turn it into a dragon head?”“Dragon would have a negative impact on many people because of the religious reasons,” Rena opined. “But if it's an elephant, it’s a kind and benevolent creature, but if you mess with it, it will destroy you.

“Can you please give me your number?” the receptionist with her pretty round eyes asked expectantly.“I’ll ask my wife and then give you the answer,” Jim said and kept walking.She didn’t follow him anymore. “Hmph, just because he looks ‘a little’ pretty, he thinks so highly of himself.” She went back to her desk. “I couldn’t stop him. I hope he won’t bother Mr. Austin too much. I’ll definitely trouble him when he’s exiting the building.”On the top floor, Jim stepped out of the elevator, and he caught many eyes.Many people kept looking at him without even blinking, especially women. As he walked past them, they began to gossip, wondering who he was. They thought he came to talk with the boss, but Jim eventually stopped by Rena’s room.“Why did he stop at her room?”“That workaholic has been on a luck streak lately, hasn’t she?”“Maybe he’s got the wrong room?”“I hope so.”While most eyes were still locked to Jim, he knocked a couple of times before entering the room.Rena, who was

Jim and Rena entered the elevator. The two of them were alone inside, so Jim said, “Do you feel bad?”Rena didn’t say anything.“I don’t,” Jim’s words surprised her. “When I used to work at Drake’s, there were customers who mocked my dad for not cooking foods how they preferred. They called him a useless chef, when I think he’s one of the best chefs that ever walked the earth. When someone like him receives insults and does not fight back, why should I, who's not even a tenth as skillful as him, feel hurt by how others perceive of me when I told them the truth? There will always be those who’ll laugh at me whether I tell them I’m a house-husband or a chef at some restaurant. So, I think the best thing to do is to not let others validate our life.” He gently curled his arm around her shoulder. “As long as we both understand each other, nothing will come in between us. Not even air.” He turned her and pressed her body against his body.“There’s a camera here, Jim,” Rena uttered almost e
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 83
As Jim and Rena exited the company building, the guard saluted to them. It was his way of apologizing for trying to stop Jim. The guard also had great respect for Rena because she once stopped Austin from removing from his job because he was chewing a bubble gum while standing guard.Jim was very happy right now, not because the guard saluted him but because he was going to sit in the Lamborghini with his wife. How wonderful and cool will this journey be? Just thinking about it made butterflies do hip-hop dance in his heart.As expected, Rena went to her car, and he quickly opened the door for her.“You want to drive?” Rena asked.“Me?” Jim was very surprised. “I… I never drove a luxury car. I don’t know how to…”“It’s no big deal,” Rena said. She was also in a very happy mood. “I will tell you, so you just have to follow my words.”“If you say so,” Jim nodded. While sitting on the side when his wife was driving may give him a good feeling, this option felt much more exciting. Jim wan
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 84
When was the last time Jim had suffered a stomach ache and had to rush for the toilet? He didn’t remember. It probably never happened after he reached his adolescence because he stopped eating junk food before he even grew a mustache.However, right now, there was no bathroom around, and Jim had to run into nature. He didn’t care if there was a beer or an elk in the woods. He had to release the pressure cooking in his lower abdomen, or he was afraid of doing the worst possible thing a grown man could do.Jim went a bit far from the car so that nobody would be able to see or hear his noises. And his bottom blasted everything out like a water pump, and the noise was uncontrollable. The flow was unstoppable. For two whole minutes, it was like a one-sided show. All Jim could do was let his intestines do the work.Just when he thought it was over, and he should start wiping his ass, his stomach would growl again, forcing him to keep in his squatting position. The problem wasn’t that he cou
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 85
Jim's intestines weren’t cutting him any slack. Neither did his stomach. Both hurt quite a bit, making it impossible for him to finish the dreadful job in the bushes and return to his car so that he could go home and drink something and rest for the rest of the day. After all, he didn’t believe he could converse with Carsen given how terribly he was feeling at the moment. Suddenly, he heard the sound of something crashing in the distance. He couldn’t see anything, but he definitely heard it. Even after Joe had taken his powers away, the noise was still clearly audible. That little shock he received was able to stop the pain in his stomach. He wanted to make sure if Rena was safe or not. Forcing bearing all the pain in his gut, he immediately plucked as much grass and leaves he could find and wiped his ass. He couldn’t wipe hard because that little stimulation was stirring his intestines again. Nevertheless, he did his best to finish his job and then put his pants back on before scut

[Do you want to stick to your useless pride? Or do you want to be a good boy and listen to my advice?] Joe further questioned Jim in Jim’s unconscious world which was dark at the moment. [Will you be fine if you lose your wife and everyone because you didn’t like to follow my mission and chose to walk however you wanted?] [The bad guy has just pointed a gun at Rena.] Anne quickly said, her smaller light flickering as if showing her unstable emotion right now. [You should just agree to Joe’s demands, Jim, or Rena will die!] Joe and Anne’s words really forced Jim. “Fine, but I have one condition.” [What is it?] Joe asked. “If my aunt never met the black magician, or she never causes any major trouble in the future, I will not take my revenge on her,” Jim said. “Am I clear?” [You really are a tricky bastard, aren’t you?] Joe’s voice contained more excitement than anger. “If my aunt is really bad as you think, then she’s definitely going to make my life difficult sooner or later,” Ji

At Lola’s house. Carsen told Lola about the case that Jim had filed on the police officers for brutally torturing and humiliating him in the police station instead of taking him to the court. Lola was surprised, but not as much as her husband. “He looked fine to me, though,” Marc said. “Will the court really believe that he’s wounded?” “There’s an audio recording of the whole incident, and he’s also taken pictures when he had those wounds,” Carsen said. “We have sufficient, no, solid proof that can prove the officers guilty. This case is going to be big because half a dozen officers will at least be suspended and at worst will be sent to jail.” “And why are you telling this to us, mister?” Marc didn’t speak respectfully to Carsen because he still didn’t know who Carsen exactly was. “Why didn’t Jim tell us this?” “Because he didn’t want you to feel anxious,” Carsen said. “That’s the only reason I can think of. This can easily turn into a high-profile case because we’re going to be

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

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
