 Tom was getting sweaty hearing that.

“Tom! Are you still there?"

"Laila, this must be a mistake!”

“Tom, this information is 100% valid. What’s wrong?” she answered.

“What? There’s no fraud? He might have robbed someone!”

“Tom, are you questioning my accountability?”

Tom stopped for a moment. Laila is very accountable and she had all the access to verify someone’s account. It is impossible that she made a mistake.

“Why didn't you tell me earlier?" asked Tom angrily.

“Tom, I've done my best to help you. At least say thank you,” Laila replied a little irritated.

Tom was still riled up, he immediately hung up the phone. He was shaking, didn’t know what to do. What if Jack is really rich? Tom hesitatingly opened the door and found that the transaction is done. The luxurious mansion is now Jack’s. He’s even in the process of getting a black card from the bank.

“Well, Tom, what did your friend at the central bank said?” asked Jack with a smile. Tom was embarrassed and angry, but shaking as well. He cannot answer the question. His face is turning pale.

“Now, do me a favor. Call your boss and tell him I want to buy his company. Name the price,” Jack said again.

Tom immediately close back the door and made a call. He couldn't wait for the call to connect.

"Hello?" said the man on the other side.

“Mister Langham, there is a man named Jack Ashworth who wants to buy the company. He asked how much it cost. He's willing to pay right now,” said Tom in a nervous voice.

“Jack Ashworth? I've never heard of the surname Ashworth before. Is he from another country?” asked Rick Langham, son of the Langham family, one of the conglomerate families in Lumina City.

"I don't know, sir. He was a bit odd and shabby-dressed. However, we have traced the money to the bank and the bank has confirmed the account. He just bought a mansion for forty million dollars,” he answered, wiping his sweaty forehead.

“Hmm… Alright. I don't really care about his background. Sell ​​it for fifty million dollars to all of our property offices. I do not accept below that. We'll see if he buys it,” Rick Langham replied.

"Yes sir."

Taking a deep breath, Tom came back into the room and found that Jack had now gotten a black card from the bank. Tom just hopes Jack doesn't buy his place of work.

"S-Sir, Mister Langham is selling our entire branch of the property office for fifty million dollars, and he won't take anything less," Tom said to Jack.

"Then do the transaction. I will buy all your property office branches,” he said.

"Fine, I'll help with the transaction right now," said Bianca.

Tom was trembling even more and his face was turning even more pale now.

“M-Mr Ashworth, please forgive me for my bad treatment of you earlier. I'm sure someone as wise as you will understand and—”

"Do not talk too much! Call your boss and say the transaction will be done now. Have all the papers ready. I don't want any trouble," Jack said firmly.

“F-fine, Mister Ashworth.”

Tom rushed out to tell Rick Langham about this.

"Extraordinary! This is what I expected. Finally, all my burdens and debts are paid off and I can start a new business! Say hello to that amazing person, maybe we can have tea someday. Happy working with the new boss, Tom," said Rick Langham who sounded very happy with this transaction. He quickly hung up the phone.

Tom was very afraid that he would be fired. When he came back into the room, the sixty million dollar transaction had already been executed. Jack is now the boss of a real estate company and Tom's boss, as well as Ashley.

“M-Mr Ashworth… I-I promise I will work hard, please forgive my previous bad treatment. I'm sorry and I promise I won't do it again,” said Tom to Jack.

Ding!

[New Mission acquired! Become the best and most successful property businessman.] 

Jack thought for a moment then took a deep breath. He knew Tom had a lot of real estate experience that he didn't. However, he couldn’t allow a man with such arrogance to handle his newly bought company, he was likely to go bankrupt if he did.

"Pack your things and never come back," Jack said finally.

“Mister Ashworth! Please! I promise I'll fix my attitude and…”

“A person like you deserves it. I don't need someone who is arrogant like you on my team. You're fired!"

Tom's face was really pale now and sweat was dripping from his forehead. Jack just snorted and smiled.

“Where was all your swagger just now, Tom? I don't want to see you anymore. Get out now!” cried Jack.

Tom didn't know what else to do. The job he had been working on for the last dozen years was now gone in an instant. Tom can only go out of the room.

Jack then turned to Ashley.

“Ashley, I'll be promoting you to be my personal assistant. From now on you work to fulfill everything I need. Of course, there will be a raise since you helped me just now and are being quite nice. Promise me to do a good job and I'll certainly be generous. What's your salary now?"

"My salary is 1500 dollars a month," Ashley replied.

“Okay, for starters I'll give you a raise to $2000 a month. If you do your job well, of course, there will be readjustments,” said Jack.

“Thank you, Jack! B-but… duties as a personal assistant…”

Ashley widened her eyes and was tempted to accept the offer, but she suddenly thought of something. Does Jack have other intentions? Ashley often gets inappropriate treatment from wealthy customers. Because of her beautiful face and beautiful body shape, Ashley is often offered to accompany the conglomerates in bed in exchange for money. Ashley is not that kind of woman. She would not agree even if paid any amount. Working as a personal assistant makes it possible for her to end up in her boss's bed.

  • True Superhero and Super Billionaire

    As the smoke began to dissipate, revealing the chaos of the decimated lab, Jack's enhanced vision honed in on Patrick, a formidable figure even in his wounded state. Blood trickled down Patrick's forehead, mixing with the grim determination and seething anger in his eyes. His breath came in ragged gasps, a testament to the intensity of their struggle."You think you can defeat me like this?" Patrick's voice reverberated through the chamber, his words dripping with contempt as he advanced towards Jack. "I won't let you win, Jack!"With a sudden burst of speed, Patrick lunged forward, his armored form hurtling towards Jack with frightening velocity. Jack barely had time to react, his instincts kicking in as he braced himself for the impact.The clash was thunderous, the force of Patrick's charge slamming into Jack like a battering ram. They grappled fiercely, each trying to gain the upper hand in the brutal melee. Jack's muscles strained against the weight of Patrick's armor, his mind r

  • The Help

    Jack's situation was dire. He lay on the cold floor, pain radiating through his body, Ashley's bloodied form just out of reach. His vision blurred and darkened at the edges, but he wasn't ready to give up. He knew he had one last trick up his sleeve.With a barely noticeable movement, he activated the communication implant Jill had embedded in his arm. It was a last-resort device, meant for emergencies only. Jack whispered urgently, his voice barely a breath, "Jill, now!"Even though it looked like he was talking to himself, he knew Jill was listening. His eyes briefly met Patrick's smug gaze before he summoned all his remaining strength. With a sudden, almost inhuman burst of energy, Jack leaped high into the air, his body propelled by the advanced tech Jill had provided.He soared upwards, smashing through the ceiling and creating a gaping hole. Dust and debris rained down as the astonished guards and Patrick stared up, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief. The room fell s

  • In The Brink of Death

    Patrick, sensing a slight tremor of control slipping from his grasp, attempted to regain his dominance with a sneer. "You think you're clever, don't you, Jack?" he jeered, his voice echoing off the cold, stone walls of the lair. "But you're just bluffing. We both know what happened the last time you tried to fight alone. You lost, and you lost badly. Look around you. My men guard every corner of this place with the highest vigilance. There's no help coming from Jill or anyone else. You think you can fool me? I anticipated your move, and I've made sure it won't happen."Jack's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he fixed Patrick with a steely glare. "You talk too much, Patrick," he retorted, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. His confidence was unwavering, a stark contrast to the villain's bluster.Without another word, Jack launched himself into action with a burst of explosive energy. His movements were a blur, honed by years of training and battle-hardened experience. He b

  • This Ends Now

    As Jack's cries of anguish reverberated through the glass chamber, something within him snapped. A surge of adrenaline and sheer willpower coursed through his veins. His eyes, still wet with tears, hardened with a new determination. He strained against the metal restraints with every ounce of strength he possessed, the cords of his muscles standing out in stark relief against his skin.The glass walls seemed to close in on him, but Jack refused to accept defeat. With a roar of pure rage, he wrenched his arm free from one of the metal bindings, the steel groaning under the force of his fury. The other restraints seemed to tighten in response, but Jack was beyond pain now. He tore at the remaining bonds, his breath coming in ragged gasps.The guards outside the chamber stared in shock, their initial disbelief giving way to alarm. The sight of Jack breaking free sent a wave of panic through them."What's happening?" one of the guards shouted, his voice tinged with fear.Patrick's smug ex

  • Patrick’s Broken Promise

    Jack watched intently as the guards began to unfasten the restraints binding Ashley to the chair. Every movement seemed to drag in slow motion, his heart hammering in his chest. Despite her weakened state, Ashley managed to shake her head weakly, her voice a mere whisper, carrying the weight of her desperation. "No, Jack," she pleaded, her eyes wide and glistening with tears. "Please, just go. Leave me."Jack’s determination was unshakeable. He shook his head firmly, his jaw set in a hard line. "Ashley, you have to go now," he insisted, his voice steady and resolute, cutting through the tense atmosphere like a blade. He knew there was no other option if she were to have any chance at freedom.Ashley remained in the iron grip of the guards, her strength all but spent. Her eyes, though filled with despair, still bore into Jack’s with a silent plea, a plea he could not heed. She understood the depth of his resolve but felt the crushing weight of helplessness. Her body slumped slightly as

  • Lovebirds

    As Jack was escorted further into the heart of The Golden Apple's new stronghold, the dimly lit corridors seemed to close in around him, suffocating him with their oppressive atmosphere. The guards flanked him on either side, their eyes boring into him with a mixture of suspicion and contempt.Patrick stood at the end of the hallway, his presence commanding and his demeanor oozing with arrogance. His arms were crossed over his chest, and a smug smirk played at the corners of his lips as Jack was brought before him."Well, well, if it isn't our obedient little errand boy," Patrick sneered, his voice laced with disdain as he regarded Jack. "Coming here unarmed, all for the sake of the traitor who betrayed you. How noble of you, Jack."Jack's fists clenched at his sides, his nails digging into his palms as he struggled to contain his rising anger. He knew Patrick was trying to provoke him, but he refused to take the bait. Instead, he focused on the urgency of the situation at hand."Wher
