Chapter 154 Bad Luck
Could it be that now that Shonzu wasn\'t there, people have finally began buying the villas or something? In any case, Jack decided the was going to pay the residential area a visit again.r
Just at this moment, a person knocked on the door. Not sure who it was, Jack got out of his room and opened the door. He found that Klein and the other nineteen were waiting outside.r
The moment that they saw Jack, they all gave him a deep bow and spoke in unison. "Thank you boss for the opportunity that you have granted us."r
Although he was surprised at first, when he heard their words, Jack finally realized that they were talking about the body strengthening solution that he had given them.r
He waved his hand and said, "There\'s no need to be polite. This is one of the benefits that I had promised you guys when I was asking you to join the team. Now that you are strong, you still need some skills. So, you can go and prepare. You\'ll be heading to the headquarters of Good Vision Security Limited so that you can get trained."r
Hearing Jack\'s words, the group was stunned for a moment before they became ecstatic. They were just normal people who had decided to work as security guards for the Safety Enforcers Security Company.r
In the end, they had been chosen to join the private team. Now, not only had their salaries been increased greatly, but they were stronger than average men and we\'re now going to be trained in terms of skills and many more.r
So, they were excited. Not everyone could be given such an opportunity, considering that there were a hundred of them before they were selected. What\'s more, they didn\'t even know what it was that Denali looked for before choosing them.r
"Thank you boss. We will be preparing now." Klein stated.r
"No problem. Gabriel will take you there via the helicopter. You will be training all this while unless I call for you. Your training may even take several months. In any case, you should just focus on training unless I need you to come." Jack added.r
After chatting the group for a while, they left. Jack then went back to the room. He was still wondering if he could get other teams to be formed so that he can at least have them trained as early as possible.r
But thinking that Denali was still in crystal city, Jack shook his head. He would have to wait for her before he could implement that idea.r
Just then, his phone rang. An unknown number. Receiving it, Jack spoke. "Hello, you are?"r
"Hello Mr Jackson, I\'m Elvis, the manager of the Eden Residential Building. I was informed that you have taken over the building. So, I was inquiring if there are any changes that you would like to make." A man said.r
Thinking for a while, Jack decided that he would have to wait till Denali came so that such a thing could happen as well. "Just continue doing things normally. I will see if there are any changes that can be made later on."r
"Okay boss." Elvis who was quite nervous was happy. Although he was the one that was in charge of managing the block, that didn\'t imply that he couldn\'t be replaced. Considering that Jack had just bought the building and he didn\'t know him, he might replace him with another person that he trusted.r
So, although it was for the time being that he wasn\'t going to be replaced, Elvis was more than happy because he could use this opportunity to impress the new boss.r
After ending the call, Jack got out of the hotel. He still wanted to stroll around the city to make himself familiar. Additionally, he wanted to buy an office building here in Kartu.r
He had wanted to have the headquarters of Jackson Enterprise in venture city before. But looking at the bustling Kartu, he decided against it. Since this was the central location of the country, Jack might as well use it as his headquarters\' location.r
In this way, he could easily access the other provinces when he was expanding the business. For him to easily find an office building that was up for sale, Jack decided to visit a real estate agency.r
Not long after, Jack found a famous real estate agency that was called Property Masters. He got into the building that it was located. After asking around, he found that office buildings models could be found on the sixth floor.r
Taking the elevator, Jack finally arrived. There, he could see that there were several buildings models here. And from the looks of it, all of them were office buildings.r
"Hello sir, would you like to rent a floor or an office?" A young man walked over to Jack and greeted him. He was one of the staff members here.r
"I would like to buy a building." Jack shook his head before responding.r
Caught off guard, the young man was silent for a moment before he reacted. "This way sir. There are several buildings that you can buy." He was clearly more than happy to lead Jack to the building models that were for sale.r
Most of the people that came here mainly wanted to rent a floor or a certain number of offices. It was rare to have someone that really wanted to buy a whole building.r
And although Jack looked young, the young man dared not to underestimate him. This was the capital. So, there were several young masters and ladies that came over to buy buildings.r
Most of the times, it was that they had been entrusted by their families because they were being trained.r
Jack looked at the models that were present. He found that none of them was up to his taste at all. They were just average buildings and there was nothing special about them.r
"Is there any big building that you guys are selling?" Jack asked.r
"Eh?" That was unexpected for the young man. Jack was wearing average clothes. He was now beginning doubting if it was true that Jack could actually afford to buy the buildings or not.r
Perhaps he had seen that the prices of the buildings was higher than he had expected and was just looking for a way out? But although he was doubtful, the young man still led Jack towards another part of the floor.r
Here, Jack could see that there were models of several skyscrapers. He nodded in satisfaction. This was what he was looking for. So, he began looking at the building models as the young man went on to introduce them to him.r
It wasn\'t just the size and design of the buildings that Jack was looking for. He wanted to get one that was located in a good position as well.r
Just then, an arrogant voice came from behind him. "Yo, if this isn\'t my cousin Johnathan."r
Jack\'s lips twitched when he heard that. It seemed that he had encountered a person that knew Johnathan. And from the tone of his voice, Jack could tell that the relationship between the two was definitely anything but good.r
Although this person could be said to be his cousin as well, Jack didn\'t think much of it. Apart from his aunt Anita and Johnathan, Jack didn\'t want to interact with anyone else from the Jesda family.r
He wondered just how unlucky he was to encounter those people that didn\'t like Johnathan one after the other. He was here not long ago but he had not encountered such a situation. Could it be that because he came with Johnathan this time, his luck had been diminished?r
What\'s even more infuriating was the fact that all the people that mistook him for Jack were not in good terms with him. Of course that was apart from Wendy. Others, they were always wanting him dead or like this guy whom he wasn\'t sure what he wanted.r
Ignoring him, Jack continued looking at the models of the buildings. He didn\'t even turn around to look at the other party\'s appearance at all.r
The other party on the other hand wasn\'t ready to let this go. He continued. "Where have you been hiding for over a year now? We have been looking around for you but we found no traces at all. You know, I thought that you were scared of the competition and had decided to quit."r
The guy was making Jack want to beat him up. What\'s up with you? Can\'t you see that I have ignored you? Why the heck do you keep on pestering me like a fly? Don\'t you have something else to do?r
Seeing that Jack had yet to react even after all the taunting , the other party finally went silent. Jack was relieved. He went on with the selection. Finally, he found one that he liked.r
"That is the Alpha tower. It has 105 floors in total. It costs $2.3B. Each of the offices has its own rest area and bathrooms. The floor itself has an open space where people can interact. Each office is equipped with advanced level of technology in terms of lightning, recognition, voice control and many more." The more the young man talked about the tower, the more Jack loved it.r
"Okay, let\'s go and take a look. If it\'s good, I\'ll be taking it." Jack nodded before saying.r
The young man was so ecstatic. He had previously doubted whether Jack could actually afford the building. But when the other guy came over and claimed that Jack was his cousin, he believed it.r
After all, he knew who the person was. It was none other than Arthur. This guy had been here several times and had bought many villas for girls that he always came there with.r
So, if Jack was this guy\'s cousin, didn\'t that mean that he also had a good amount of money? Just thinking about the amount of commission that he would receive, the young man was in a hurry, wanting to lead Jack to the building as fast as possible.r
"Hahaha, what did I just hear here? You? You want to buy that tower? Do you think that you can afford that price? You have been away from home for over a year now. Furthermore, even I cannot be allowed to spend such a big amount of money unless I spend it from my pocket." The person sneered.r
For the first time, Jack turned around and faced the other party. He found that this guy was someone who was older than him, probably twenty one or twenty two.r
"You are?" Jack asked. He clearly didn\'t know this guy.r
Arthur: "???"r
