Chapter 171 Hey, What's Up With Your Imagination? It's So Rich!
The moment that baldy's words fell, it wasn't just Jack, even Johnathan and Celine gazed at the baldy with gazes that tried to express their disbelief. They just couldn't understand what this guy was thinking.r
At first, Jack had never expected that he would actually be offered $500M after simply playing the game. One had to know that when Jack came here, he had the intention of actually completing the system's task.r
So, the moment that he received the system prompt about the completion of the mission, he was already satisfied with it. But all the same, he was here for double benefits. So, when he was told that he would actually receive $500M, he was satisfied although he was still not sure why the baldy here offered such a hefty sum.r
But, when he heard that Johnathan was actually going to receive something after he had 'worked so hard' on the court to 'barely' win the game, he wasn't pleased at all. What's more, a cooperation between the two sides, Johnathan whose background had billions of dollars, and a baldy guy who could easily offer $500M in cash that easily, it wasn't something small.r
So, the 60% that Johnathan was going to receive was definitely far bigger than the $500M that Jack was going to receive. This made him slightly displeased. It was also at this point that he realized that, Johnathan had actually decided to use this chance to use him to earn more.r
Although he was displeased, he could simply reciprocate by making use of Johnathan's connections more. But, as the one that had brought all the benefits and was being offered the least share here, he could solve this with the baldy.r
But, just before he could say a word, the baldy actually decided to give Celine 12% shares of the entertainment company known as The Rose. This made Jack stunned. He was now wondering what the heck was going on here!r
It was understandable that he would receive something because he had worked for it. Johnathan on the other hand had also received something because of the agreement with the baldy. But, what was this with Celine? Could this guy be trying to hook up with Celine in front of him?r
Remembering the time that he saw that the baldy was actually sneaking glances at Celine and Johnathan, Jack frowned. Even if he had not said that the two of them were in a relationship, it wasn't a good feeling that came when you saw that the girl that you had brought with you being seduced by another man.r
At least, why don't you ask the relationship between the two of us first and ask for my permission if I can allow you to try your chance? But what's this? You actually dare to try showing off your wealth in front of me and try hooking up with her just like that?r
Do you think that I, a man doesn't have my own temper? You must have underestimated me! Jack roared in his heart as his eyes turned cold. At least, he could have been lenient if this guy was actually someone that was at their age group.r
But, this guy was already a few age groups ahead of them and he was trying to be a cow that actually wanted to eat the young grass?r
And, wasn't this embarrassing him? He received only $500M after working hard. On the other hand, the baldy was actually trying to hook up with Celine by offering 12% shares of The Rose entertainment company.r
Wasn't this the same as the situation where a guy is given $100 and his girl is taken away in a Bugatti? In other words, it was like this guy was stating that, your love for this girl can be broken by $100. But, the girl herself is worth several millions of dollars. Since you are poor and don't know the true value of the girl, let me take care of her for you.r
Baldy didn't know what was going on anymore. He could feel that a cold gaze had landed on him. And at that moment, he froze in place as he felt that he was being stared at by a predator and there was nothing that he could do to escape.r
Celine and Johnathan too had not expected that the baldy would be so decisive when it came to the issue concerning trying to make sure that the two of them didn't tell Jack that he had been having an idea about Celine.r
All the same, Celine wasn't going to tell Jack about this. The reason being that she didn't want to cause Jack any problems. She knew that the baldy had to be someone with a good amount of influence in the capital just from the fact that they were actually talking about deals worth billions of dollars.r
Now, this guy was trying to make up for his mistake by offering her 12% shares of The Rose Entertainment Company. This wasn't a small company because it was a company that was evaluated to be worth around $106B.r
This was more than three times bigger than Jack's Good Vision Security Limited. Just the 12% shares of the company were worth $12.72B.r
Celine's Gravy family was worth around $20B. So, the shares were already more than half of her family wealth. How could she not be stunned by the amount?r
"Johnathan, my good cousin, you actually let your in-law be seduced by another guy when I was away? Why are you not acting like a good cousin at all." At this moment, just when silence was dominating the locker room, Jack's voice echoed.r
And when those present heard his words, they were completely stunned. Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as they couldn't believe Jack's words at all.r
Johnathan was shocked about how Jack knew about this and what's more, the smile that was on Jack's face was so familiar. That was the same smile that Jack had when he was beating him up on top of the roof of the Cardinals Supreme Hotel after he took the body strengthening solution.r
He knew that this guy was actually looking for a way to beat him up. And, since he wasn't his match, he was trying to find his way out of the situation. Otherwise, he would be beaten to a pulp not long from now.r
Celine on the other hand was staring at Jack with her eyes incomparably widened in disbelief. The reason for that was simply because Jack had referred to her as Johnathan's in-law. Didn't that mean that he was actually taking her as his woman?r
Celine blushed as her heart beat erratically. She was feeling happy and at the same time nervous when Jack said indirectly that she was his girl. She didn't even know how to respond to this at this point.r
On the other hand, the baldy wanted to cry. He had offered a lot of benefits and was going to suffer a lot just because he didn't want Jack to know that he had been having some ideas about Celine.r
He had been hoping that the compensation that he was offering the two of them was enough to make them not to sell him out.r
But, what was going on here? He had just completed offering the benefits and was exposed? He really wanted to sit on the ground and start wailing.r
Feeling that Jack's gaze on him was getting colder, the baldy was soaked in sweat and was already shivering. This was someone that even Johnathan couldn't compete against and was from the Jesda family. So, how could he actually beat him?r
The Rose Entertainment Company was his biggest company. He was also engaging in real estate and that was the reason as to why he was fighting with someone for a piece of land.r
"This…this….there was a misunderstanding… I….I really didn't know that she was your woman. Had I known…I definitely wouldn't dare to try making a move on her." Baldy stammered as he tried to explain himself.r
"Is that so? Why is it that not only are you trying to hook up with her in front of me, but you are actually trying to look down on me?" Jack asked. His voice was colder than before. And with every word that he said, his voice got even colder.r
'What the f*ck! Since when did I try snatching your girl in front of you?! And when did I look down on you? Here I was only trying to give out some benefits to make them not tell you a thing about what happened back there!'r
Jack's words had made the baldy understand that Jack had thought that he was trying to hook up with Celine when he offered her the 12% shares of the entertainment company.r
Now, he was regretting having not done this in private. Had he given out the benefits to the two in Jack's absence, as long as they agreed to not tell him, how was Jack going to know about it? Furthermore, he had already told himself that he was going to make sure that he would stay away from Celine as he could.r
And although he had given her 12% shares, he was going to make sure that he wouldn't attend any meetings that concerned the shareholders as long as she was present.r
"I'm saying the truth. I had no intention of hooking up with her when I offered her the shares." Baldy tried explaining. Now, the shirt that was beneath the coat had already gotten soaked in his sweat.r
Baldy looked towards Johnathan for help. But when he saw that Johnathan was looking flustered and seemed to be looking for a way out of the situation, the baldy finally thought that he was finished.r
Even Johnathan was already troubled. So, what could he do in front of Jack when he was a nobody in front of Johnathan?r
"Hehe, you are so funny, aren't you? If you are not having some ideas, do you mind telling me why you would offer such a big amount of shares?" Jack asked as he smiled coldly.r
"I…I.." Baldy was trying to say that he had no ideas about Celine. So, how could he explain that he was actually giving her the shares so that she wouldn't tell him that he had tried getting the permission to take her out from Johnathan?r
That would definitely make things worse than they already were. He would be in even deep soup.r
"See? You can't even say the reason behind that. Let me guess, you were giving her the shares so that it would be easy for you to meet her in the future, right?" Jack guessed.r
This time, it wasn't just Baldy, even Johnathan and Celine had the same thought as they looked at Jack. 'Hey, what's up with your imagination? It's so rich!'r
