 Tom was getting sweaty hearing that.

“Tom! Are you still there?"

"Laila, this must be a mistake!”

“Tom, this information is 100% valid. What’s wrong?” she answered.

“What? There’s no fraud? He might have robbed someone!”

“Tom, are you questioning my accountability?”

Tom stopped for a moment. Laila is very accountable and she had all the access to verify someone’s account. It is impossible that she made a mistake.

“Why didn't you tell me earlier?" asked Tom angrily.

“Tom, I've done my best to help you. At least say thank you,” Laila replied a little irritated.

Tom was still riled up, he immediately hung up the phone. He was shaking, didn’t know what to do. What if Jack is really rich? Tom hesitatingly opened the door and found that the transaction is done. The luxurious mansion is now Jack’s. He’s even in the process of getting a black card from the bank.

“Well, Tom, what did your friend at the central bank said?” asked Jack with a smile. Tom was embarrassed and angry, but shaking as well. He cannot answer the question. His face is turning pale.

“Now, do me a favor. Call your boss and tell him I want to buy his company. Name the price,” Jack said again.

Tom immediately close back the door and made a call. He couldn't wait for the call to connect.

"Hello?" said the man on the other side.

“Mister Langham, there is a man named Jack Ashworth who wants to buy the company. He asked how much it cost. He's willing to pay right now,” said Tom in a nervous voice.

“Jack Ashworth? I've never heard of the surname Ashworth before. Is he from another country?” asked Rick Langham, son of the Langham family, one of the conglomerate families in Lumina City.

"I don't know, sir. He was a bit odd and shabby-dressed. However, we have traced the money to the bank and the bank has confirmed the account. He just bought a mansion for forty million dollars,” he answered, wiping his sweaty forehead.

“Hmm… Alright. I don't really care about his background. Sell ​​it for fifty million dollars to all of our property offices. I do not accept below that. We'll see if he buys it,” Rick Langham replied.

"Yes sir."

Taking a deep breath, Tom came back into the room and found that Jack had now gotten a black card from the bank. Tom just hopes Jack doesn't buy his place of work.

"S-Sir, Mister Langham is selling our entire branch of the property office for fifty million dollars, and he won't take anything less," Tom said to Jack.

"Then do the transaction. I will buy all your property office branches,” he said.

"Fine, I'll help with the transaction right now," said Bianca.

Tom was trembling even more and his face was turning even more pale now.

“M-Mr Ashworth, please forgive me for my bad treatment of you earlier. I'm sure someone as wise as you will understand and—”

"Do not talk too much! Call your boss and say the transaction will be done now. Have all the papers ready. I don't want any trouble," Jack said firmly.

“F-fine, Mister Ashworth.”

Tom rushed out to tell Rick Langham about this.

"Extraordinary! This is what I expected. Finally, all my burdens and debts are paid off and I can start a new business! Say hello to that amazing person, maybe we can have tea someday. Happy working with the new boss, Tom," said Rick Langham who sounded very happy with this transaction. He quickly hung up the phone.

Tom was very afraid that he would be fired. When he came back into the room, the sixty million dollar transaction had already been executed. Jack is now the boss of a real estate company and Tom's boss, as well as Ashley.

“M-Mr Ashworth… I-I promise I will work hard, please forgive my previous bad treatment. I'm sorry and I promise I won't do it again,” said Tom to Jack.

Ding!

[New Mission acquired! Become the best and most successful property businessman.] 

Jack thought for a moment then took a deep breath. He knew Tom had a lot of real estate experience that he didn't. However, he couldn’t allow a man with such arrogance to handle his newly bought company, he was likely to go bankrupt if he did.

"Pack your things and never come back," Jack said finally.

“Mister Ashworth! Please! I promise I'll fix my attitude and…”

“A person like you deserves it. I don't need someone who is arrogant like you on my team. You're fired!"

Tom's face was really pale now and sweat was dripping from his forehead. Jack just snorted and smiled.

“Where was all your swagger just now, Tom? I don't want to see you anymore. Get out now!” cried Jack.

Tom didn't know what else to do. The job he had been working on for the last dozen years was now gone in an instant. Tom can only go out of the room.

Jack then turned to Ashley.

“Ashley, I'll be promoting you to be my personal assistant. From now on you work to fulfill everything I need. Of course, there will be a raise since you helped me just now and are being quite nice. Promise me to do a good job and I'll certainly be generous. What's your salary now?"

"My salary is 1500 dollars a month," Ashley replied.

“Okay, for starters I'll give you a raise to $2000 a month. If you do your job well, of course, there will be readjustments,” said Jack.

“Thank you, Jack! B-but… duties as a personal assistant…”

Ashley widened her eyes and was tempted to accept the offer, but she suddenly thought of something. Does Jack have other intentions? Ashley often gets inappropriate treatment from wealthy customers. Because of her beautiful face and beautiful body shape, Ashley is often offered to accompany the conglomerates in bed in exchange for money. Ashley is not that kind of woman. She would not agree even if paid any amount. Working as a personal assistant makes it possible for her to end up in her boss's bed.

    “Your job is only to help me buy the things I need, remind my schedule, and do things related to my work.

I just need a lot of things that I would not be able to do alone now. I have a lot of agendas that I have to finish,” said Jack, starting to see Ashley's doubts.

From the appearance of Suzzane who had changed into ripped jeans and a tank top, as well as her eyes that were red from crying, Jack could already guess that Suzzane had been fired. Jack didn't answer, he just stared at Suzzane with a sharp gaze and a slight crooked smile, making Suzzane even more annoyed.“I lost my job because of you!” cried Suzzane as she brought her index finger closer to Jack's face.Jack brushed off Suzzane's forefinger while pushing her slightly, making her take a few steps back."Keep your filthy finger out of my sight you slut," Jack said in a low, calm tone.

The smell of roses and the texture of the card show how expensive the invitation card is."I'll consider it," Jack said as he put the card in his pocket.Jack didn't want to seem too excited, so he purposely didn't say right away that he was willing to come. Jack knew who to invite to the event, of course, there would be the Hawthornes."Mr. Ashworth, your car is ready for use," said Harry, handing all the files and also the car keys into Jack's hands.“If there's nothing else you want to talk about, I'll be leaving now.

He maintained his mocking smile, much to Gordon's utter annoyance and humiliation. During his life, Gordon was never expelled from anywhere. "Why? Want to hit me?” asked Jack as he walked over to Gordon who was still being held by the two security guards. “Damn you useless servant boy! You are just like your mother, equally useless!” he exclaimed. Jack couldn't hold himself back any longer. He punched Gordon in the face so hard that everyone was shocked.

    Patrick, sensing a slight tremor of control slipping from his grasp, attempted to regain his dominance with a sneer. "You think you're clever, don't you, Jack?" he jeered, his voice echoing off the cold, stone walls of the lair. "But you're just bluffing. We both know what happened the last time you tried to fight alone. You lost, and you lost badly. Look around you. My men guard every corner of this place with the highest vigilance. There's no help coming from Jill or anyone else. You think you can fool me? I anticipated your move, and I've made sure it won't happen."Jack's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he fixed Patrick with a steely glare. "You talk too much, Patrick," he retorted, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.

His eyes, still wet with tears, hardened with a new determination. He strained against the metal restraints with every ounce of strength he possessed, the cords of his muscles standing out in stark relief against his skin.The glass walls seemed to close in on him, but Jack refused to accept defeat. With a roar of pure rage, he wrenched his arm free from one of the metal bindings, the steel groaning under the force of his fury.

He tore at the remaining bonds, his breath coming in ragged gasps.The guards outside the chamber stared in shock, their initial disbelief giving way to alarm.

"No, Jack," she pleaded, her eyes wide and glistening with tears. "Please, just go. Leave me."Jack’s determination was unshakeable. He shook his head firmly, his jaw set in a hard line.

The guards flanked him on either side, their eyes boring into him with a mixture of suspicion and contempt.Patrick stood at the end of the hallway, his presence commanding and his demeanor oozing with arrogance. His arms were crossed over his chest, and a smug smirk played at the corners of his lips as Jack was brought before him."Well, well, if it isn't our obedient little errand boy," Patrick sneered, his voice laced with disdain as he regarded Jack. "Coming here unarmed, all for the sake of the traitor who betrayed you. How noble of you, Jack."Jack's fists clenched at his sides, his nails digging into his palms as he struggled to contain his rising anger. He knew Patrick was trying to provoke him, but he refused to take the bait. Instead, he focused on the urgency of the situation at hand."Wher

    Jack's heart skipped a beat as his phone vibrated, signaling an incoming message. With a sense of urgency, he glanced at the screen, his eyes widening in shock at the sight before him. It was a video, sent from an unknown number, and as Jack tapped to play it, his blood ran cold.The video opened to a chilling scene. A dimly lit room filled the screen, casting long shadows that danced across the walls. In the center of the frame sat a wooden chair, its surface worn and weathered, and bound to it was Ashley. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her eyes were filled with a mixture of fear and defiance.“Ashley?” Jack breathed, his voice barely a whisper as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of the situation.“What? What happened?” Jill's voice crackled with concern, her eyes widening as she leaned in closer to see the screen of Jack's phone.For a moment, Jack's mind reeled in disbelief. It took several seconds for the reality of the situation to sink in—that the woman in the vi

    The soft hum of machinery filled the air as Jack slowly emerged from his slumber, the gentle rhythm of Jill's movements resonating in the laboratory. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, he turned his gaze towards Jill, who was already engrossed in her work, her movements fluid and purposeful."Rise and shine, sleepyhead. It's time for you to join the land of the living," Jill greeted him with a playful smirk, her eyes sparkling with determination. "I need your help with some brainstorming."Jack yawned and stretched, feeling the weight of the impending tasks settling upon him like a heavy cloak. "What's the plan?" he asked, his voice still tinged with drowsiness as he sat up and gave Jill his full attention.Jill's eyes gleamed with determination as she launched into an explanation of the necessity for a tracker device that could evade detection by their adversaries.
