Chapter Forty-One: The Last Supper
The rusty door of the restaurant closed with a thud, ‘shooing’ off the humid city air and replacing it with a chill. Although the walls were old, Jack noted that it wasn't that bad… it was a three-star establishment, after all—just that it was too old.As he and his elite team entered the restaurant, it reflected a level of orderliness that he didn't expect. The atmosphere was serene; people's heads were buried in their dishes as they ate silently. The dark ambience accentuated the serenity, making it seem as if they had walked into a shrine.‘Right,’ he thought to himself, recalling what Kate had said some moments ago.“Told you guys,” he heard Kate whisper. “I wasn't wrong about what I said. It sure looks like a shrine.”Jane glared at her, but the ambience must have prevented Kate from seeing her expression. So, the driver continued talking, “I don't even know why we're here.”“Why don't you become a personal assistant for a day?” Jane said with a sharp tone.“A personal assistant?
Chapter Forty-Two: Join Them, Then Beat Them
The gunshots echoed within the restaurant, making everyone scamper out with their tails between their legs. Meanwhile, Jack and Kate crouched the instant they heard the first gunfire. While Jane stood to take the first two hits from the assassins, Brandon overturned the table and used it as a shield.As Jack hid behind the table, his heart thumped several times. He'd seen Jane take the bullet that was meant for him—she wouldn't survive, except she was a superhuman. Why did she have to do that?A few bullets peppered the table, causing him to shrink. But that was all. There were no more gunfires as everything descended into silence. He glanced at Brandon who was sitting on the ground, his pistol drawn, and asked, “What's going on?”“An assassination,” he replied as he stood up gradually, to assess the situation.‘I know that,’ Jack said inwardly, taking a cold breath. ‘I was asking about Jane… Jane…’“Jane…” he said the name aloud, but didn't mind as he stood up. His eyes widened when
Chapter Forty-Three: Retribution
Three hours later Jack was driving a black Toyota Camry to the Gang District. He'd stayed at the three-star restaurant, waiting for the police to arrive. When they finally arrived, everyone gave their statements. But he didn't leave and insisted that Jane go to the hospital. After seeing that her wound had been tended to, he urged all of them to return to the mansion. Everyone ate and then relaxed before he eventually sneaked out of the mansion to the garage.And now he was staring at the road ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel. The Pitchfork Gang had colluded with Winston to kill him. And they'd almost ended up killing someone whom he cared about. So, they all had to pay for what they'd done.[The briefcase filled with cash and C4 bomb has been created!][Note: $1,000,000 has been deducted from your balance!][The Trillionaire System's Host StatusHost Name: Jack NeumanTitle: Heart of GoldBalance: $880,000,000Merit points: +9Feature: Executive Delegation (2/2)Privilege
Chapter Forty-Four: Newfound Allies
When the bomb exploded, Jack thought Brian would continue to chase after him. His breath hitched because he knew he'd be killed… Apart from the bomb, he didn't think he'd come with any other weapon. He was betting on the Trillionaire System to revive him, but he wasn't so sure it would. After all, it has introduced merit points for revival.The SUV behind him slowed down rapidly, till there was a considerable distance between them. He watched it turn around and zoom off toward the Pitchfork Gang warehouse, which just exploded.All this while, Jack's heart was racing. He'd successfully killed Hugh and several Pitchfork Gang members… But there was another problem: The remaining ones, like Brian, would come after him. Also, the police would investigate the issue and tie him to the explosion. If that happened, he didn't think Jane would be able to help him.A bead of sweat slid down his forehead and he quickly wiped it off with his left hand. His eyes focused on the road, his muscles taut
Chapter Forty-Five: The Last Hour
Jack watched Brian and his subordinates leave with ashen expressions on their faces. Margaret had been more than happy to serve them her pie… After the first bite, they'd shown their unwillingness to eat any further, but Jack insisted. So, they helped to finish all the pie!He let out a sigh of relief as he stared at the empty plate. His eyes drifted to Margaret and saw that she was smiling happily.“I can't believe you made them eat the pie!” She said.He chuckled in reply, “Anything for my Little Sis.”“Anything for your Little Sis?” She creased her brows. “Why did it seem as if you were shying away from the pie…”“Why on earth would I do that?” Jack's chuckle became more awkward. “I mean… I didn't want to finish it all. I'm a generous person, after all.”“Indeed,” Margaret rolled her eyes. She touched her chin as if in deep thought, then smiled widely.Jack's facial muscles trembled in realization. ‘Oh no,’ he thought. ‘What have I done?’“That means I'll be baking pie every Friday
Chapter Forty-Six: The Straw That Breaks the Camel's Back
Edward and the nine other servants stood before Jack, their hands clasped at their backs. Although their new boss had asked them to feel free around him, they still found it hard to do so. They'd seen the man's achievements and knew how powerful he was… Someone like him should be revered like a god.“Master, I've gathered all the servants like you requested,” Edward said with a bow.Among the servants, there were five maids, a male chef, and three gardeners. All of them didn't seem older than thirty—perhaps, they were in their mid-twenties.Jack sat on the couch, his eyes fixated on the faces of the servants. “You do not have to be tense, you know,” he said. He didn't know how many times he'd make this clear to them. Obviously, it'd take a long period of time for them to feel free around him finally. After all, Rome wasn't built in one day… Or was the original saying a little different?“I called you here for a reason,” he continued. “I learned from Edward here that Winston never paid
Chapter Forty-Seven: The Last Resort
Winston was on his way to the Gang District when the notification dropped. He'd heard the news that Hugh was dead and wanted to see the new gang boss. Hugh had promised to end Jack's life and yet, the man was still causing more trouble. So, he figured out he should have a word with the new boss—remind him of the pest they needed to eliminate.For minutes, he stared at his screen and wondered if he was hallucinating. The words were large and clear, saying: ‘Jack Neuman buys off the Night Garden. This is a straw that breaks the camel's back.’He recalled how Jack had promised him revenge—that he would finally acquire the Night Garden. At first, he couldn't believe his eyes till the calls came in from the Night Garden management… Everyone had been relieved of their duties—all his workers who had served him all those years.That was when he realized he was neither hallucinating nor dreaming. The news was real—Jack Neuman had dealt his final blow.“Preposterous!” He yelled, clenching his p
Chapter Forty-Eight: The Last Card
The morning sun filtered through the glass windows of the bedroom, casting long, sharp shadows across the mahogany desk where Jack Neuman sat. His eyes were fixated on the thick envelope Jane had just dropped in front of him.Jane muttered, her voice in the same neutral tone. “Service of Process. Just as you'd anticipated, Winston’s legal team filed at dawn. They're swinging for the fences this time, Sir. Murder, racketeering, and illegal corporate acquisitions.”He was supposed to feel a pang of anger—perhaps, even fear. Instead, he had a cold smile plastered across his face. He was gloating over Winston's defeat inwardly, seeing how the man had played right into his traps. It was only a matter of time… just a—Jack shook the thought to the back of his mind and broke the seal. His eyes scanned the summons as he muttered, “Two O'clock in the Afternoon.”That was when the hearing was set. Winston wasn't just trying to put him in a cell anymore; he was trying to destroy the empire Jack
Chapter Forty-Nine: The Neuman Empire
The grand foyer of the Neuman mansion felt less like a home and more like a courtroom. Seven men and three women stood nervously on the polished marble. They were the previous managers of Winston's acquired enterprises—the same ones who had sold the assets to Jack.The heavy glass doors at the top of the staircase opened, allowing them to look in that direction. They watched Jack Neuman descend slowly, his expression unreadable. Jane followed a step behind, clutching a sleek leather tablet. The personal assistant was as neutral as ever, her eyes unblinking.Jack sat on the couch, his hands clasped and his legs crossed. He stared at the managers silently, a slight smile at the left end of his lips. They'd betrayed Winston because of the lie he'd made Jane tell them… a tempting offer which they failed to resist.‘They’re here for the promise I made them,’ he thought. ‘But they don't know I lied, do they? I guess they'll find out the hard way… what I have in store for them.’“Mr. Neuman,
Chapter Fifty: The System's POV
Jack threw another feast to celebrate his victory. That night he took his time to enjoy himself, seeing how he'd dedicated himself to taking Winston down. The entire mansion vibrated with music and the aroma of different dishes filled the atmosphere.It was so noisy inside that he had to step outside onto the balcony, propping himself against the banister with his elbows. He gazed at the starry night and heaved out a long sigh of relief.Soon, Margaret joined him outside, a glass of wine in her right hand. She stood beside him and gazed at the sky as well.“I never dreamt of this day,” she said, letting out a sigh. “I mean, everything seems like a dream.”Jack jolted into reality, tilting his head at her. He hadn't noticed his sister's presence till now. He chuckled, “Neither did I. I was quite comfortable with my previous life… the one before I went bankrupt.”“You bought all those companies, Jack,” she said. “You managed to throw him into prison… And not just him, but some of his mo
