Thud!A mobile phone crashed to the ground as loud cracking sounds rang out on the quiet road."Ah!" The truck driver cried out in pain. He could feel his bone shift. The pain was unbearable.Jed had no mercy and twisted the man's hand ruthlessly, dislocating his shoulder.He let go and the truck driver fell to the ground, holding his limp hand while crying in pain.The Uber driver stared at Jed with a look of amazement. He couldn't react because he was so shocked. This boy... He clearly saw the car completely ruined by the truck now. Yet, the boy was standing right in front of him, unscathed. Not even a single stain on his clothes.Not to mention, he has just taken up a man twice his size. This kid was amazing!"Ha! Please let me go. Ha!" Jed felt the truck driver crying like a baby was an eyesore so he walked to him and stepped on the broken hand cruelly. The exact spot where it hurts.The truck driver felt his eyes roll to the back of his head. He was in so much pain he couldn't
At The Jetti's Headquarters"What sort of behavior is this?" One shareholder slammed his palm on the glass table. "How could the chairman delay us like this for someone we do not even know about?""Yes, we have been waiting for more than an hour. Where is the so-called new member we are supposed to meet?"One even pointed at the chairman's personal assistant, Erin. "Hey you! Go and tell the chairman that if he cannot handle the company affairs like a man he is, I will withdraw from this company!"The shareholders have been waiting for long after gathering for an impromptu meeting that was organized to introduce a new member into the company.Originally, they were dissatisfied. The chairman was supposed to look for a solution for their current crisis yet he was there adding a new member to the company.Why did he even have to gather all the shareholders for that?Now, the chairman and the new member are nowhere to be seen and it's been more than an hour now! How could they tolera
Jed swept his gaze around the room for the second time. He saw that some shareholders still had looks of doubt on them.They obviously couldn't accept that the college boy standing in front of them was the new owner of Meta Inc. After the lawsuit between Jetti's Inc and Meta Inc, the former has had to pay a huge fine and even took down the software that was generating a lot of revenue for them.To cut the long story short, as if the huge amount of fine paid wasn't enough, the company's stocks began to drop drastically. Yes, it wasn't enough to ruin Jetti's empire or make them bankrupt but within a couple of weeks, they have lost significant billions of dollars!How could the shareholders not be worried? There were even rumors that companies that used to clamor to partner with Jetti's in the past were all rushing to Meta now as that was the new thriving business.Even shareholders from Jetti's were secretly sowing money into the new project of Meta's. "Boy, how old are you?" One cro
The shareholders all shrugged at each other. This was a golden opportunity, signing a cooperation with Jed so how could they object?"Since there are no objections, I announce a successful cooperation with—""I have objections."The conference room fell silent. All eyes turned to Jed. Alan was puzzled. He already fulfilled his own part of the deal so what could the objections be now?"Father, when you came to me to help your business, I seem to have remembered we talked about inheritance not cooperation," Jed folded his hands on the table.Alan smiled awkwardly seeing the shareholders look at him accusingly. He had truly mentioned that Jed was going to inherit his company but the cooperation with Meta inc...That was all his assumption. He just thought since his son was the owner of Meta, the cooperation was only natural.Merging the two companies together was one of Alan's biggest dreams even when Jordan was still in charge."What are you saying son? Of course, I said you were going
The next day, the boys could see something was bothering Eric because he was distracted in class all day and also made quite a lot of unreasonable mistakes.Finally when they had a break, Ben grabbed his shoulders. "Tell me. What's your problem?""Huh?" Eric looked oblivious. "What do you mean?"Jed looked up from his mobile phone. "You have been distracted all day. You committed a lot of illogical mistakes."He looked back at his phone and continued, "Dude, you almost got sent out of class several times and you are still asking us what we mean. We should be asking you that.""Fine," Ben sighed and the hand clasping his backpack tightened. "You remember the game tournament I mentioned some time ago.""The one that's supposed to happen in Dubai?" Ben didn't easily forget things and could remember when Eric had mentioned the tournament to them."Yes.""What about it?" Jed paused and looked up again. His eyes narrowed suspiciously.Eric ruffled his hair nervously and spilled it out. "Wel
"What are you getting all worked up for? I heard it's only temporary," Anna brushed her newly polished nails with an unperturbed look.Jack on the other hand couldn't keep calm. "Even if it is only temporary, he signed away the shares and now that bastard wants to chew more than he can swallow.""He dares to ask for our shares. How dare he!"Anna finally reacted, hearing this. No one knows she owns fifteen percent of the shares in that company except Alan. How did that son of a bitch find out? "Originally, I wanted to wait until your brother's lawsuit was over but I guess I have to act fast now."A sinister look adorned her face. Seeing this, Jed knew a plan was brewing in her mind."What do you mean mom? What are you planning?" He asked suspiciously. "If it's about taking care of that bastard, I sent an order for him to be killed but he still managed to attend the meeting in one piece. I do not think he is as ordinary as he appears.""That lowlife isn't our concern now," Anna spoke
It seemed like the temperature of the room reduced as soon as Jed spoke. Eric's brown eyes darkened and his fists clenched by his side.All these days, he hasn't been in contact and has managed to keep his emotions in check. But just hearing her name just now was enough to work up the emotions he had stabilized.He really underestimated how much she affects him. Jed sat down on his bed, seemingly oblivious to Eric's changing temperance.But Ben misunderstood the situation and thought a brawl was about to take place. "Woah... Woah... Woah, dudes... Don't claw at each because of girls who aren't even aware of your feelings or will replicate it."He stood and talked sensibly like an elder advising his children."Your feelings are meant to be unrequited. Can't you two see that now? You have your whole lives ahead of you. Don't turn against each other because—"He didn't expect four pairs of cold eyes would glare at him. "Shut up!" He made a gesture of zipping his lips and backed away. H
'Although I have the largest share ratio in my hands, those are just an illusion created by Alan. To cement my position in the company, I need to own more significant shares of my own,' Jed's fingers directed the mouse cursor to display Carter's information.It's said this man has recently, secretly mortgaged his portion of shares to an underworld loan shark because he needed to finance his crypto currency trade.Jed couldn't help but shake head at this man's foolishness. Trading coins was unadvisable because today it could go up and tomorrow down.It was unpredictable and detrimental. One might get lucky but one could also encounter losses.Besides, when Carter mortgaged his shares, they were still valuable; the Jetti's empire was striving then, unlike now that they were struggling in deep waters.Now the shares were almost worthless and the loan shark wanted to sell them off. Carter had lost all the money he placed in crypto and even incurred debts so he wasn't in a suitable position
