2025-02-01 08:57:10Jack was still in a state of disbelief and amazement. He didn't know if he was going crazy, or if it was all a very well-structured joke by his enemies, the Waltons. But the money was there in his bank account, and he could use it whenever he wanted.
He returned home after getting out of jail, and couldn't stop looking at the screen of his phone. He already had enough money to pay off the debt for the ring, and also enough to quit that poorly-paid job Don Vito had offered him.
He slowly opened the door without noticing the big surprise that was waiting for him right in the living room of his house.
"Surprise!" his parents shouted in unison.
Jack almost fell to the floor from the shock. His heart raced, and his breathing became rapid in a matter of seconds.
His mother was holding a birthday cake with a rather eye-catching candle, while his father clapped excitedly.
"How could I have forgotten this?" Jack slapped his forehead with his palm.
He couldn't believe he had forgotten his own birthday. However, he had a good reason for doing so.
"Welcome to the adult world!" his father shouted, arms stretched out, smiling with joy.
Jack smiled sideways and shrugged before being embraced by his father.
"Is something wrong?" his mother asked, placing the cake on the table.
"You look like you've seen a ghost," Jack's father commented, noticing his son's expression.
"Don't worry. I'm fine," Jack faked a smile and walked over to the birthday cake.
"Make a wish," his mother said, with her hands clasped together and a big smile on her face.
Jack closed his eyes and wished to stop seeing all those things he considered to be hallucinations caused by his fatigue.
"Bravo!" his parents shouted, as they both clapped for their son's celebration.
However, Jack still seemed very strange and thoughtful. He appeared to be absent, not truly present in the room with them.
Jack's parents exchanged looks at the same time and both sighed deeply.
"Is it because of the screen you're looking at?" his father asked, his voice filled with fear.
Jack felt as though his world had turned 360 degrees, and everything around him collapsed.
How the hell was it possible that his father knew about the screen he was looking at? Wasn't it supposed to be something only he could see?
"What did you say, Dad?" Jack asked, completely incredulous.
"Son, we..." his mother began, but was immediately interrupted by Jack.
"How the hell do you know about the things I'm seeing?" he asked, distrust evident in his voice.
"I knew this day would come," Jack's father shrugged and sat down in his favorite armchair.
"Please take a seat, son. We have something very important to tell you," his mother said, her tone very serious.
"No, I don’t want to sit down. What I want is an explanation, right now," Jack said.
"We're not poor!" Jack's father confessed, sitting back in his armchair.
Jack's father felt a great sense of relief as he finally removed the weight from his shoulders and the knot from his throat, a burden that had been driving him crazy since Jack was born.
"What are you talking about? We live in a humble house, in a dangerous neighborhood, and I’ve been working for two years to pay for a wedding ring," Jack demanded.
"I'm sorry. Those are the rules. We can't help you financially. You have to make your own fortune," his mother explained.
"Rules? What rules are you talking about?" Jack insisted.
"The screen you're looking at is part of a system that has made every member of our family wealthy for generations," his father said.
Jack placed his hands on his head and paced around the living room in circles as he processed the information his father had just given him.
It was hard to believe his parents' words, but they would never joke about something as serious as this.
"I was hit," Jack confessed suddenly.
"Hit? Who hit you?" his mother asked, concerned.
"I was mortally wounded. I should be dead, but that thing restored me. How is that possible?" Jack asked.
"It's a very sophisticated system. Even we don't know exactly how it works. All we know is that we have to do everything it tells us, and we'll be rewarded with a lot of money," his father answered.
"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Jack demanded.
"It's the rules. We agreed to live as poor people for 18 years because we love you, son," his mother insisted.
Jack was agitated and confused. He didn’t know what to do or where to go. He could only hold his head and walk in circles on the carpet.
"You just have to follow the rules, and the system will make you an extremely rich man," his father raised his voice to be heard by his son.
"Never reject an offer, or you will be punished," Jack's mother warned, worried for her son.
"What if I don’t want to be part of this sadistic and perverse game? ... Do you at least know who is behind that screen?" Jack continued, deeply distressed.
"You have no choice..." his father said.
"The system didn’t choose you, you're just our son, and that's how it works," Jack's mother tried to make him understand and reason with him.
"Then... I don't want to be your son anymore," Jack said and opened the door to run away from there.
"Jack!" his father shouted, quickly getting up from his armchair.
"Wait!" his mother also ran after him, but Jack disappeared into the rain, running quickly.
As he ran, the screen appeared again before his eyes.
[ MILLIONAIRE #4 OFFERS $100,000 TO COME HOME
ACCEPT REJECT ]
But Jack was too upset to accept. He didn’t want to continue being part of this game. So he decided to completely ignore the screen.
[MILLIONAIRE #4 INCREASES THE OFFER TO $200,000
ACCEPT REJECT]
Jack stopped under the rain and began shouting like a madman.
"Enough! Enough! You can’t be inside my head!"
Jack grabbed his head and bent down, overwhelmed with frustration.
"I’m going to reject this nonsense once and for all," Jack said.
Jack decided to break the rules his mother had warned him about and rejected the offer from Millionaire #4.
[YOU HAVE REJECTED AN OFFER. YOU WILL BE PUNISHED WITH AN HOUR WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO WALK.]
"What?" Jack exclaimed before collapsing to the ground and watching in terror as his legs were completely immobile.
It was at that moment that he realized his mother had been right all along. He should never have rejected that offer.

Detective Brooks entered the office to be present that morning for the daily therapy Jack was to face. Jack sat submissively and quietly while dressed in a blue clinical gown. "Why did you remove his restraints?" asked Detective Brooks very concerned, "You have no idea how dangerous this patient can be," he exclaimed.

Jack was guarded by two police officers armed with rifles, while he was handcuffed at the hands and ankles."I have the right to a lawyer," Jack said totally expressionless. "Lawyers are a human right, and human rights are precisely for humans," Brooks commented in a threatening tone coming very close to Jack's face, "You're a fucking animal." "My name is Jack Stanton, and I'm not an animal," Jack insisted. "You're an animal who killed 35 innocent people.

Jack Stanton was riding in the back of the patrol car, with Detective Brooks seated in the passenger seat. He remained completely silent, his head bowed. They had just accused him of killing his mother, and yet he hadn't said a single word. It was as if he were still trapped in the shock of having witnessed that horrific scene.Besides, there was no point in living anymore. Jack couldn't stop remembering the moments he had shared with his mother, especially the time she told him that the system would only destroy him and never allow him to achieve his dreams.How right his mother had been back then. Jack had failed to fulfill his dream of getting revenge on Theo Walton and was destroyed by the system simply for fulfilling his desire to kill Alexandra Lemar for being responsible for Hillary’s death.In any case, everything would be over very soon. Surely Theo Walton had survived thanks to the system, and it wouldn't be long before he came to kill him. Not to mention that Detective Broo

From the highest point in the sky, one could see the thick drops of rain falling rapidly, gaining great speed until crashing against Theo Walton's disfigured face.He was completely covered in blood, lying on the marble sidewalk with his arms spread out and his spine completely broken.Even speaking was extremely difficult for him. The mirror that Jack had smashed into Theo’s face had left many shards of glass embedded in his mouth, cutting his tongue with every word he tried to say."I need... I-I need... 100% recovery," he managed to say as he choked on his own blood, feeling the rain pounding against his face.[ MILLIONAIRE NUMBER 111 OFFERS 100% HEALING IN EXCHANGE FOR INSERTING YOUR INDEX FINGER INTO ONE OF THE WOUNDS ON YOUR FACE...Accept Decline ]Theo didn’t respond with words to avoid further slicing his tongue with the glass shards inside his mouth.Instead, he raised his hand and inserted his finger into the largest wound on his face, causing a horrible surge of pain that

He hadn't missed a single shot all night.Theo Walton listened to the gunshots and the moans of the bodyguards as the bullets pierced their heads. He grabbed the radio and threw it out the window.
