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-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-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-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-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: Cooped Up Like a Prisoner
The next day Jack felt like heading out into the city. He was already tired of staying cooped up in the Neuman estate like a prisoner. He was wealthy now and didn't have to overwork himself; if he developed a terminal illness from stress, Winston would be the one to win. So, he decided to take a rest today… He soon realized that the vacation in the Ozark Mountains had been too short.As usual, he wore a black tailored suit and walked toward the black sedan in the garage. His mind drifted to the safehouse, recalling the dozens of vehicles sitting there. He couldn't help but wonder how Winston had gotten his hands on those.‘Well, I don't care,’ he said as he stopped by the side of the car. ‘Now all his wealth is mine…’He was about to get into the car when his elite team walked toward him. He noticed Jane staring at him with narrowed eyes, as if she was thinking about something.“Boss, you can't possibly think of going anywhere without us!” Kate protested as she edged past Jack into th
