Chapter 284 This World Has Hidden A Lot
?
"His body disappeared." Jack replied.
Benjamin remained silent for a moment as he didn't know how to react to Jack's words. He stared at Jack for a moment as he wondered if Jack was joking or he was serious about what he was saying.
But when he saw that there was no hint of mischievousness on Jack's face, Benjamin's expression darkened.
"Jack, I can understand that you have already killed your uncle Nathan. But that doesn't mean that you deserve to destroy his body. I told you I want to see his body, and this is not the time for you to play such games." Benjamin was serious at this moment.
He could accept that Jack had a dealt with Nathan and had killed him off because Nathan had already done so many crimes that were unforgivable. But, he couldn't accept that he actually couldn't bury his own son.
Even though it was true that Nathan had committed a lot, he was still his son in flesh and blood. Since there was nothing that he would do previously to save Nathan, then the only thing that he could do was to give him a decent burial.
"I don't think I have time to joke around with you. I told you that his body disappeared because it really disappeared." Jack stated.
At that time, he had seen that the thin man had poisoned himself. After that he had become ashes. An idea came into Jack's mind at that moment.
And as a result, he looked into the things that the thin man was carrying. And as a result, he had managed to find that the thin man was carrying a poison like the one that he had taken.
Well, Jack didn't actually know what type of poison that the thin man had taken as it was in his mouth. But of course, there was always the trial-and-error period.
After several attempts of trying the poison on Nathan's dead body, Jack had finally found the poison that he wanted.
But since Nathan was dead, his circulatory system wasn't working. And as a result, Jack was forced to dilute the poison before pouring it on Nathan's body.
And just like what had happened to the thin man, Nathan's body also turned into ashes. And just like that, Jack had managed to clear the scene.
When Benjamin saw that Jack wasn't relenting, he began getting angry. Although the person in front of him was his grandson, the relationship that they shared wasn't that deep as the one that he shared with his son.
And as a result, as long as Jack didn't hand over Nathan's body, Benjamin was willing to go all out to make sure that Jack did that. He didn't believe that there was a way that Nathan's body could disappear. Jack must be hiding it somewhere.
Benjamin's face had already turned red due to the anger that he was trying to hold in. He looked at Jack for a moment, before questioning once again. "Jack, are you going to hand over Nathan's body or not? You know, I allowed you to do as you pleased without interfering with anything. But now, you have to hand over Nathan's body. Otherwise…."
Benjamin didn't finish his words but Jack could immediately understand the underlying meaning. He looked at the old man in front of him before snorting, "It doesn't matter what you say. I already told you that Nathan's body disappeared and there's no way that I can find it even if I want to."
"Furthermore, I hope that you don't try threatening me. This is simply because I don't like threats." As Jack stated these words, he looked directly into Benjamin's eyes.
It was obvious that he didn't care whether Benjamin was his grandfather or not. Since the two of them never shared any kind of relationship other than the blood relationship that they shared, Jack wouldn't hesitate to take action if the old man pissed him off.
Benjamin stared at Jack's eyes for a whole minute. When he saw that Jack wasn't retreating his gaze even after all this while, he shook his head as he decided to relent.
"I hope that you are right about what you're doing. Otherwise, you're going to be in deep trouble. This world has hidden a lot that you don't know and understand." After saying his piece, Benjamin got to his feet before he left the villa.
He needed to get some time before he could finally calm down. It was true that he was angry, but there was no way that he was going to vent the anger.
Jack didn't escort him out of the villa at all. Since Benjamin was an uninvited guest, there was no need for him to be so polite considering that the two of them were not parting in good terms at that moment.
After seeing that Benjamin had left, Jack went back to his room. He had decided to finally analyze the businesses that he was currently having.
He had already made Denali to prepare the data and send it to his email.
After getting into his room, he took out his laptop and began looking at the information. Since he was planning to integrate several companies, Denali had simplified the information that she had sent over.
The very first company that was leading was definitely the grocery department. Although it was true that the grocery department didn't have a name currently and was referred to as a grocery department, its reputation wasn't to be messed with.
This was after all something that Jack had started with. It really held an important position to him.
Currently, the grocery department had already spread to over 20 cities in the country. And the expansion was still ongoing.
Due to the influx of capital that Grace was receiving, she had managed to easily stabilize the new groceries that were being opened in the new cities.
And since she was buying out the groceries that were present in that particular city, she didn't have to deal with a lot of issues like advertisement and so on.
Since the groceries themselves already had customers, all they had to do was to do a promotion by lowering the prices and giving several offers. In this way, they were able to easily deal with the competition that was present in those particular cities.
But all the same, the influence of the grocery department was only in smaller cities that were present in the other four regions. As for the central region, Grace had not yet made a move.
The people who were found in the central region were definitely not easy to deal with. It all came to not only having a good amount of money, but even the connections mattered. This was the reason as to why Jack had instructed grace to deal with the other regions first before finally dealing with the central region.
The following company was GVSL. This was his security company, the Good Vision Security Limited. Just like the grocery department, this company had been improving ever since Jack came to the capital city and completed the merging of three security companies.
Currently, it could be said that this security company was definitely ranked among the best in the country. It was not only in terms of net worth, but even the services that were being offered.
Having managed to recruit several mercenaries, the impact that they had caused in the security sector had definitely caused the reputation of the company to shoot up.
With that, Tracy had been so busy dealing with the new contracts that the company was receiving day in and day out. But with the help of Ayush, the two of them had managed to handle the security company well.
Since the two of them had already taken the body strengthening solution, they were able to work overtime without too much worries.
With the acquisition of the guns from the military, the private team that Jack had instructed to be formed was already in place. As for the three helicopters that Jack had received from the system during the first month of his income, they had already been taken over by the team.
Livingstone was currently considered the real leader of the whole security team. With his experience as a soldier, as well as the comrades that he had brought over, the mercenaries were currently well disciplined.
With the benefit of getting stronger, these mercenaries dared not to mess around when they were on duty. Since Jack had promised them that there might be future benefits, they had been so diligent when working.
What followed was The Rose and Kalmond Entertainment Companies. These two companies were currently performing well enough. But still, Jack thought that this was not good enough for a person of his level.
Since he had already pointed at the entertainment companies as amongst those that were supposed to be monopolies, then they had to perform better than they currently were.
And, Jack was considering the merging of the two companies. Each of the company on its own was already a big one in the country. As long as he managed to merge them into one, he was sure that he would perhaps dominate the entertainment sector.
Currently, for The Rose Entertainment Company, he was the major shareholder while Celine was the other shareholder. Only the two of them were the real decision makers of the company.
As for Kalmond Entertainment Company, Jack currently owned 90% of the shares. As for the 10% shares, they were currently in the hands of Jonathan. These was the shares that Jack had given to Jonathan.
Jack had only done this simply because he was in a good mood. At that time, it was Jonathan who had handed him 10% shares of the entertainment company. And with the help of the system, he had managed to acquire the remaining 90% shares.
"With that aside, let's look into the hotel." Jack stated as he continued scrolling down the screen towards the information about the hotel.
