"You bastard!" Johnathan shouted loudly.
Jack on the other hand simply smiled at that. From where he was, due to his sharp senses, he could clearly hear what Halton was saying on the other end of the phone.
So, he knew why Johnathan was frustrated and angry at the same time. Still, he didn't like the name bastard. Although that was so, he decided to ignore that because he knew that Johnathan was currently pissed off.
But at the same time, he asked, 'Hey Angel, what the heck is this way of acquiring the shares? You don't even inform the shareholder that he would be selling his shares?'
Although Jack was previously smiling, it was because he had thought that he would be able to laugh at Johnathan the moment that he realized that the person who would be buying his shares would be him.
As such, he had never thought that even Johnathan himself wouldn't know that he was selling the shares. He was so surprised to hear that he had sold the shares and the money had come in already.
[How's that the system's fault? The idea was proposed to the board and he participated in the meeting. Instead of knowing what was going on in the meeting, he was thinking about his girlfriend.]
[Perhaps he had thought that there was nothing important to discuss during that meeting. As such, he wasn't even paying attention to whatever was being said. He nodded his head to agree to the proposal when asked.]
[As for the opinion about what they were supposed to do, he never gave a point and remained silent. So, the other shareholder made the decision.]
[Then, there's a form that was signed. He too placed his signature, and that too without reading it. So, at the end of it all, it is his fault that he didn't know about the acquisition of the shares. So, don't blame the system.]
Jack: "…."
The form was signed the previous day. But, he had acquired the shares today. Now, was the system already expecting this to happen? Could the system see the future? Jack of course asked.
[The system is more than just a multiplier of what you are earning. So, upgrade the level of your authority as soon as possible to access even more features from the system.]
Jack didn't ask further. As for the matter where Johnathan was thinking of his girlfriend, he didn't need to ask to know that the system must have read through Johnathan's mind to know what he was thinking.
All the same, he sighed at the way the system was overpowered.
[You should know that, the system never fails in the acquisition of something. If he read through the benefits that he would receive by selling the shares, even if he was keen during the meeting, it is a sure bet that he would have accepted to sell the shares.]
'What are those benefits that he would receive when he sells the shares?' Jack asked curiously.
[The price of the shares offered by the system is higher than in the market. So, it should be easy for him to decide to sell the shares.]
Jack: "…."
In the next moment, 'Why don't you f*cking give that money that you spent on buying those shares to me? I'm sure that Denali can use that money to buy even more shares for me!' Jack practically screamed in his mind.
The whole Kalmond was worth $70B. If the system bought the shares at a price that the shareholders couldn't refuse, it had to be quite high. It might even be double the market price of the shares.
If that was the case, this was akin to spending $140B to acquire a business that was worth $70B. That was practically a wastage. Though, with the 10% shares in his hands, it should have been $63B to $126B.
Although he had his own thoughts, the system had its own plans and way of doing things. In the end, Jack could only dream about receiving the money but he wouldn't.
"How dare you do that?! You could have told me that you were buying the shares. So, I could have given you shares from another company and sold these 10% shares to you instead!" Johnathan's shout brought Jack from his reverie.
Jack looked at him and snorted. "You are talking as if I knew that you were going to give me the 10% of Kalmond. I was intending to buy all the shares of Kalmond. But since you were transferring 10% shares, I had to buy 90%."
"I would have to look for the person that was getting the other 10% shares so that I could buy them from him. Now, this was a complete surprise that I was the one that got the shares. I guess that I will have to buy them from myself." Jack shrugged at the end.
Johnathan looked at Jack. He could only give up because he knew that what Jack had said was logical. Jack didn't know anything about the shares that he was going to receive on this day.
But, although he had given up on saying our loud that he blamed Jack, he was still blaming him on the inside. And, he wasn't the least pleased by the fact that he had lost the shares.
Although money was important, having shares was even more important to him. The shares represented connections and how fast he could do some things.
"Now, now, why are you blaming me for your own mistake? You were only thinking about Wendy during the meeting between the shareholders. And, did you even read the document that you signed or you simply signed because you saw that the others were signing it?" Jack questioned.
Johnathan looked at Jack with widened eyes. He couldn't believe that Jack knew what he was thinking about in the meeting. "Jack, are you stalking me?"
"As if I can stalk your thoughts." Jack snorted.
Johnathan looked at Jack for a while, it was as if he was trying to decipher something from Jack's expression. In the end, he couldn't find anything that could give him a clue about what was going on there.
"Alright, let's leave. I'll be giving you the 10% shares that you gave me as a gift for what you have been helping me with recently. In this way, you can get carried along as I boost the company to the top." Jack stated as he got into the car.
Johnathan was left speechless once again. He wondered, 'Am I being gifted my own shares? On the second thought, I think I gave him the shares as compensation?'
eαglesnovel`c,om As he thought of that, he went back into the car and drove towards the Angels' Prominence. The reason as to why they had come to this place was because they wanted some privacy as Jack 'talked' with Arthur about respect for other men's women.
….
Inside a hospital ward, Collins opened his eyes. The look of his eyes seemed lost. At this moment, Collins was thinking about what had happened back in Volant city.
He gritted his teeth at the thought that his manhood was crippled and he might not be able to have children in the future. At the thought of this, Collins fury increased even more.
'Wasn't it just a beautiful girl, no it was just a face. What is there to make you think that the face was something that could compare to my progeny?' Collins growled in his mind.
He didn't think that Jack breaking his manhood was something that should have happened. According to him, Celine was at the end of the day, a girl. If she was a girl and he was a man, what was the problem if the two of them mate?
Although he was the only one that wanted that to happen, who said that she wouldn't feel good during the process? And what was even more infuriating to him was the fact that, he had been completely crippled although he didn't do anything to her.
'Just you wait! Although I don't know about you, I'm sure that you care about that b*tch Celine. So, I'll simply have to get my hands on her before getting you. And believe me, your fate will be worse than mine.' Collins swore in his heart.
'As for you bitch, since you thought that being with me alone wasn't something that you could be proud of, I'll let you be proud of being together with a group of ten!' Collins clenched his teeth so tightly that even his gums began bleeding slightly.
Just then, the door of the ward was opened and a man and a woman rushed in a hurry.
The woman was wearing a short navy blue dress that reached her knees. She had a face that was covered in a thick layer of make-up. It was obvious that she was trying to cover up the signs of age catching up to her.
From her expression, it was clear that she was worried about Collins. So, the moment that she got into the ward, she rushed towards the bed and asked worriedly, "Are you okay my baby boy? Tell me, what happened to you? Tell mommy and mommy will make sure that he pays it with his life."
As for the man that had gotten in with the lady, he was wearing a khaki suit. His expression was vicious and he looked like a schemer. Though, that was to be expected as he was in business. And sometimes, business didn't just require a business mind, sometimes, there were situations that required scheming.
Although he didn't say a word, he was ready to go and look for the person that dared to harm his son. This was the only child that he had with his wife.
He had been involved in an accident after Collins was seven years old. And since then, he had never had a child. According to the medical report, his fertility was affected.
He was having great hopes that his bloodline would continue through this son of his. He himself had great hopes that he would have a team of children. But since he couldn't, he had to depend on his son.
But now, his son had also been crippled. As for getting him back to the condition where he could have a progeny, that was something that the doctors were still working on.
To say the least, he was greatly angered at the fact that his son was crippled. He was just waiting for the name of the person that did this.
"The person behind this all is Celine and her boyfriend." Collins replied through his greeted teeth.
