Jake and his team remained silent as they waited for her to tell them what happens next. In their mind, they already figured out one or two things but not really the full idea of her plot. Joe Cole smiled and shook his head, making them even more worried. What do John, Mercury, and Joe Cole know about how the world works that they don't know?
“The Sullivan's stocks start crashing, Denmark begins to send all kinds of apologies to President Carter and everyone knows he doesn't joke with his daughter. Next, my father, you remember him? Mr. Caviar, the king of the media in the West. So, he pushes the story more until Denmark is forced to its knees begging not just me but also Joe Cole for fear of US sanctions.
“And the Sullivans follow suit to save their fortune otherwise, when my old man is done with them plus the sanc
The Olympus Estate was the most expensive private property in the entire country, it was all luxurious and featured several amenities with six major bedrooms and over 12 guest rooms. It was built to exist off-grid and self-serving, having the capability of serving itself with little reliance on external sources.It had a bunker and a panic room, fully equipped to withstand a nuclear strike and to sustain ten occupants and serve them for six months. The mansion had its own mall, sports complex, and others.Joe Cole's sight of the mansion took him away from the moment.“Isn't this the $450 million Olympus mansion?” He asked as they drove into the estate.“Yes, it is, sir. You know your city.” Rachael complim
Joe Cole wondered, ‘Why do they always fill me with wonders and confusion and then ask me if I was ready for my answers.’He answered them, however, eager to know the details about this new surprise.“Yes, please.” He said to Rachael.Rachael called on Diji,“Diji, connect us to the President.”Diji intelligently connected a video call to President Carter and displayed it on the screen of the next-generation 77-inch television set which was AI-powered. The screen turned on and a live video call with President Carter showed on it.“Wow!” Joe Cole exclaimed, expressing his awe at
Joe Cole returned back to campus that afternoon with a convoy of all his ten one-only edition cars and his helicopter hovering above them. The gates opened automatically like it was pushed down, everyone from the gate to the school centre bowed in awe and reverence to him as his entourage passed them.Landing his helicopter at the school centre with his cars parked in display around the helicopter, the door of the chopper opened and he stepped out majestically. Looking at his fleet of cars worth about $700 million, he laughed because he simply couldn't make a choice on which one to take so he just brought in everything.All the students, lecturers, professors, and even the school chairman, Emily's father, bowed to him. His majestic emergence humbled them all to their knees. The sound of his return brought out even the richest guys in their school, the Arab Princes, whose collections of cars were the best in the school. But when they saw Joe Cole and his fleet of toys, they all fell do
Joe Cole stood smiling as he watched the lady carry on with her display, he was already used to people treating him like that, so he waited for the security guys to come.The lady came out from behind her desk to face him, making sure he didn't run away. “Besides, how were you able to pass through the gate? There's no way the securities could have allowed someone like you into this compound.” She asked him, trying to ascertain how he got into the place in the first place. The security guys came in, two of them, and on entry, the lady hit them straight with her question.“How did you allow him in here? Seems you're playing with your jobs, huh?”The guys looked at him and wondered how he escaped them, they had been diligent with their jobs and could never have allowed someone like him into the place. “Young man, how did you get in here?” They asked him, coming up strong and aggressive on him. Their jobs were at stake if they couldn't figure out how he came in.Joe Cole laughed at the
As Emily and Jake met Joe Cole in that awkwardly embarrassing situation, they couldn't contain their joy and laughter as they burst out loudly laughing at him. The saleslady and the other staff in the boutique felt so embarrassed that their biggest clients, Jake and Emily, would meet such a scene at their boutique. This spelt trouble for them and they resented Joe Cole the more for all he did.“We are very sorry you had to meet such a sight, sir. We promise yo—” The lady immediately went to Jake and tried to apologize for the scene they came into but Jake shunned her, wanting to pay more attention to the humiliation of his mortally sworn enemy, Joe Cole. The lady tried again to apologize, but Jake shut her up.“Back off, Linda!” He yelled at her, calling her by her name.Joe Cole felt embarrassed that Jake and Emily of all people were the ones who met him in such a situation. He almost wished he had heeded Rachael's option to take one of his one-only edition cars, maybe if he had, it
Linda checked in the items as everyone watched, she was furious as hell not just for Joe Cole's invasion into their place but also for Jake and Emily's public announcement of it. The attention she tried to avoid was called in by those two yet, she couldn't confront them because they were their biggest clients, so she channelled her anger to Joe Cole.The items Joe Cole picked totalled at $1.5 million as the price displayed on the screen.“Whoa!!!” Everyone exclaimed, wondering how on earth Joe Cole could pay that sum.“Even if he sold his body and his soul, it still won't amount to a drop in this ocean.” One student said to the rest and they plunged into laughter.Their laughter gradually turned murmuring as they all awaited his next move, the security were already well mounted to ensure he didn't do anything stupid.Looking straight into his eyes with her hands on her desk and her eyes blazing with anger, Linda called out the amount to his hearing as though he didn't see it on the di
Joe Cole stood frustrated as everyone mocked him for all the dramas he was performing, no one believed him when he said he had a car and Emily's question made matters worse for him as the mockery took a leap on him.“My car is parked outside, just give me a minute.” He said to Linda but she wasn't playing his games anymore.“First you make all kinds of outrageous threats to get us fired, then you claim you can pay $1.5 million. Next, it's a gold card; now you have a car. What exactly is your problem?” Linda blew hot on him, her anger and fury could be felt from the vibrations of her tone. Joe Cole was really frustrating her day and she was done with it.Joe Cole tried to get close to her to explain things, knowing she had the right to be mad at him now.“Linda, I am sorry for everything but I promise you, if you can give me this one chance, I will…”Jake cut him short,“Shut up, you pig. You're asking for one chance so you can make for escape. That's not happening.” He lashed at Cole.
“Who the hell does this pauper know?”“The audacity. He even asked them to send the money right now.”“Which of your stupid friends did you call?”“That is definitely not the President nor Mercury. He can't possibly be giving them such a command.”“Did he even call anyone?”The comments from the students kept flying in and out, everyone lashing out at the audacity of his call. Whilst they continued in their rumbling, as soon as he dropped the call, Linda received an alert on their official device.Unknown to anyone, she checked it out slowly wondering if Joe Cole just did what she couldn't imagine him doing. To her wildest shock, it was the exact amount that was sent to their account.“$1.5 million with a description on the transaction saying, FROM JOE COLE.” She read out slowly.The mammoth crowd gradually lowered their voices and quieted down to the words and reactions on the face of Linda. The once pissed-off Linda had just melted like ice to the figures she saw on their account as
