Respect earned
Jackās eyes settled on the culprit, his gaze scanning the man for the object that was boosting his confidence. From among the seated board members and shareholders, a figure stood with just enough arrogance in his stride to make his identity clear before he even spoke. Christos.Jack didnāt look away. He stood up too and walked slowly but steadily toward him, the sound of his shoes echoing in the quiet room as everyone else stayed seated. Once he was close enough, Jack locked eyes with the older man. The tension was unmistakable. Christos didnāt flinch. He met Jackās gaze with that same conceited smirk plastered on his face, like he had already won whatever battle was unfolding.Christos finally broke the silence. āNice try, kid. You might fool everyone here, but youāre not fooling me. Donāt you know that even a madman knows there are some paths he canāt take?āThe words left Christosā mouth with a cold sting. His tone was casual, yet it held a certain venom that was clearly meant to
Don't call me kid
Mr. Luster wanted to tear into Jack right then. He wanted to raise his voice, slam his palm on the table, and expose whatever trick Jack was playing. But something in Jackās eyes made him hesitate. The confidence wasn't forced or shaky. It was calm and steady, the kind that only came when someone knew exactly what they were doing. Jack didnāt flinch, didnāt fidget, and didnāt act like someone bluffing. Even if he didnāt have Winstonās number, he clearly had something planned. So Luster held back. He bit his tongue and decided to watch. If Jack was playing games, heād find the cracks soon enough. And when he did, heād crush him. The rest of the boardroom went quiet. Every eye shifted to the phone in Jack's hand. he only sound was the repetitive beeping as the call tried to connect. Then there was a sharp click. The line picked up. āHello, whoās this?ā a voice asked on the other end. It was Winston. But Jack didnāt speak. He didnāt even look at the phone. He stared at the shareholders
The gold phone number
A wave of shock moved through the room like a gust of cold wind, followed by a moment of quiet disbelief. It didnāt make sense. The shareholders had sat down expecting a boring meeting, maybe another useless update, but now some young man was standing there in a suit that clearly wasnāt from a thrift store, talking like he owned the place. Once the initial confusion passed, their expressions changed. The polite confusion faded, and their faces twisted. Frowns hardened. Jawlines clenched. Mr. Luster, who had always been the first to react when his authority felt threatened, stood slowly. His tone was cold enough to freeze water. āKid, whatās your name? Do you even know who youāre insulting?ā Before Jack could respond, another voice came from the side. Mrs. Eith crossed her legs, arms folded, her tone sharp with that layered smugness only the rich could pull off. āWhoever your daddy is, donāt think he can save you. Youāll regret insulting us today.ā Jack stood there unfazed, no matt
You're all idiots
As Jack headed to REC, he stared out through the taxi window, watching the city roll past in a blur of traffic lights, crowded sidewalks, and the occasional billboard flashing like speeding cars. He had already decided that he would buy a car later, something comfortable and quiet, but right now, he could not shake the feeling that he was being stingy. His head told him it was just being careful, that it was smart not to rush into unnecessary expenses, but deep down, he knew part of him just wanted to hold back for now. His mind, though, was calm. That calm came from the certainty that he could not risk his money at this stage. Not until the bigger pieces of the plan were in place. Once he bought the shares from Mr. Chen, the rest would follow through like dominoes falling in perfect sequence.The taxi pulled up in front of the building. The glass doors reflected the evening light, and the guards outside practically stood straighter the second they saw him. Their expressions carried s

The dealership stood there like it was some king's palace. Its massive glass walls caught the sunlight sharply, causing the glass to reflect the light and forcing anyone who looked too long to squint. Inside, the floor was polished to a mirror shine, reflecting every footstep, every flicker of shadow. The air carried that weird mix of new leather and overpowering cleaning chemicals. The kind of smell that instantly told you this place wasnāt for just anyone. Every car was spaced out carefully, as if it were fragile museum art, glinting under the harsh showroom lights.Jack stepped inside, feeling the cool blast of air conditioning hit his face, a relief from the sticky summer heat outside. He was dressed in a navy suit, no tie. It was the kind of look that said he cared, but not enough to scream for attention. His shoes had a decent shine, and the watch on his wrist was nice enough, but nothing flashy to brag about. He hadnāt gotten his cash flowing in yet, so now was not the time for
Pick a ride (part1)
Jack was looking up pictures of cars on his new laptop while dressed in his white robe. It was the middle of the day, and he had already finished half a glass of wine without even noticing. The quiet around him felt comforting instead of empty. Whoever said money couldnāt buy happiness had clearly never experienced a life like this. They had never sat in a furnished apartment, shopping for luxury vehicles on a top-tier machine, while drinking wine that didnāt come from the bottom shelf. Jack had never felt this relaxed in his life, not even when he landed his first real job. That kind of joy had been short-lived, full of uncertainty. What he felt now was different. He wasnāt chasing stability anymore. He already had it in the palms of his hand.He was looking for a car to get from one place to another. At the same time, he was selecting something that would represent how far he had come. He didnāt want a vehicle that looked like it belonged to a show-off, but he didnāt want one that f
