Chapter 68: The Juice of Heaven.
As Katrina hugged Jack, he was also very bewildered, but he hugged her back. Jack was actually thinking about how to utulize Katrina because she would be getting bored in the mansion the whole day. The butler-looking guy was actually handling everything from normal chores to manual labor.
" katrina What's the best place to open a shop? As I told you previously, I will help you to open a shop, but you have to return the money I give you," Jack said sweetly to Katrina, who was in his embrace.
"I don't think I'll be able to run such a thing," Katrina replied.
"Don't worry, I am here, aren't I? Do you trust me?" jack asked
"Yes, but don't invest in me too much." Katrina was scared that Jack would invest in her too much.
"You don't have to worry about it." Jack has a plan in mind; he was going to use the secret recipe as the foundation of that juice bar.
'System' won't give me a shitty item; surely everything will be fine,' Jack hoped. His trust in the system was growing day by day.
Jack has no idea where to get a shop to open a grand juice bar here, so Jack went to mansion number seven, the Fatties, or Maria's house.
As it was still school time, but Fatty was still in his home, he opened the door for Jack, greeting him politely. Fatty was a real-state magnate, or thats what he calls himself.
"Mr. Isabella." Jack, sitting on the couch, said he was assuming Fatties name was also Isabella as his daughter.
hearing Isabella from a foreigner Fatty laughed so hard that a little drop of tears came out of his eyes. His name was not Isabella.
"Young master, my name is not Isabella; it's Shaolin Fury," Fatty said. His parents named him after a movie or something he didn't know.
" Fury? Alright, Mr. Fury, I need some help from you again," Jack said. He was actually very embarrassed to ask for help again, but he tries to at least pay more to this fatty. Fatty is a good man; his heart was in the right place.
" Oh? No worries, Tell me what help you need?. Fatty asked; he was actually eager to help his future son-in-law. He also makes profit from
"I need a shop in a good location to sell juice." Jack said.
" oh? You're going to open a business here?" Fattyy asked eagerly.
"Yes, but someone else's name; she's from here, so you don't need to worry about me being foreinger," Jack said.
"Oh, what kind of location you want? If you want a prime location, I've got something for you," Fatty said, then he stood up and went somewhere all of a sudden.
Fatty returned with a poster in his hand, presenting it to Jack. The poster depicted a large, nice shop, but it did not specify its location.
Jack looked at the poster and looked at Fatty. Fatty, showing the poster, pointed at it with his fat fingers, then said, "This location is one of the most premium locations in Manila."
" Oh? Tell me more," Jack inquired.
"You know, Maria's school? It's just opposite from it; it's called the school road because there are many schools on that road," Fatty said happily.

"Alright, how much will it take to buy one?" Jack directly inquired about purchasing the shop.
" Buy? No...no, the offer is only available for rent; the yearly rent for this 1000 SFT room will be around 4 million pesos," Fatty said.
"Alright, I've got it. Let's go see it," Jack said. Then he called Katrina to bring his car and security.
Arriving at the spot, Jack liked the venue and paid for a year. Jack was confident in his secret recipe.
The shop was in. Katrina's name, and it will take around 7 days to fully decorate the whole shop. Fatty also took responsibility for Jack to decorate the shop as a beautiful and modern juice store for a minimum charge of 700,000 pesos, and for buying equipment, he took 300,000 more.
Jack didn't mind; with a $5 million investment, he was sure the store would make excellent sales.
Katrina, after seeing the 5 million peso investment, almost lost consciousness. She thought, 'How will I ever repay this back?'
Jack went back to the house with Katrina. Katrina was panicking, but Jack calmed her down and gave her the note he had written previously.
Katrina, seeing the normal note, was actually flabbergasted and wanted to laugh at the small note, but Jack insisted on making this juice.
Katrina took the note in the kitchen; the recipe was so easy that she remembered, but remembering how Jack said it was his mother's secret recipe, she concentrated more on it.
She made the recipe almost perfectly; as soon as she made the juice, there was a smell coming from it.
The smell was delightful that Katrina took a tip, and the taste was undescribable. It was so good that Katrina almost drank the whole glass.
Then she poured out more and served Jack. Jack, drinking the juice, was shocked. Can three fruits be this delicious?
Jack looked at the usual drink price, which was around 10-20 pesos, and realized that this drink only cost him around 2 pesos. Jack was ecstatic; this juice was really heavenly.
"What did I tell you? Do you think people won't drink this for 25 pesos?" Jack chuckled as he glanced at Katrina.
"They will; the taste is so good." Katrina was also very confident now; with such a recipe in her hand, she may be the next 'Juice Queen.'
"Can I really use this recipe?" Katrina was not believing such a recipe could exist, and Jack would just hand it to her.
Even if this juice was sold in the most awkward and weird place, people would flock to it; it was that tasty.
"Of course, don't worry. You're my woman, so giving you things is just natural," Jack smilingly said.
He was now hooked to build a juice empire through Katrina; he was not lacking money, but who says no to money, right?
Jack and Katrina made some samples and gave them to the employees in the house; they loved it and even wanted to drink more despite Jack using his Aura of the Emperor.
Jack tried the aura of the Emperor to dissuade them, but the juice was so tasty that they almost bypassed the small amount of aura of the Emperor Jack was using.
Jack was pleased with the outcome. Given that his mansion was located in a wealthy neighborhood, he instructed the butler to present a jug of this juice to each house as a token of his greeting.
Katrina was looking at other normal recipes to make for her shop; she was planning to make other items as well, but this first month she wanted to solely dedicate to her juice items.
The Heavenly Juice was the secret and main juice of her shop, but she still needed some other types.
Katrina hired Jack to sell juice on the first day because the area they were selling in was a school area, specifically a girl's school area, and she wanted to fully utilize Jack's charm.
