Chapter 77 Smashing Cars
Celine: [Thank you. I'll try to stall them for a week.]
[If I may ask, do you have a girlfriend?]
Throughout all of this time, Jack had never expected such a question coming from Celine. He wondered why she asked that question. Or she wanted to date him? He wasn't sure about it.
Anyway, there was no harm in telling her the truth. So, Jack typed the reply.
Jack: 'Not really. Do you want to take the post?' Of course the last question was just to tease her. Although he didn't know what his feelings towards her were, not unless he confirmed, there was no way that he would start a relationship with her.
Furthermore, he could still remember the words that his mother had told him when she gave him the envelope. She had clearly stated that if he ever wanted to start a relationship, he had to open the envelope.
And since he was sure that he wasn't ready yet, he hadn't opened the envelope.
On the other hand, Celine who was just berating herself for sending such a message was both stunned and excited. She was surprised that Jack would give her such a reply without complaining about her involvement in his personal life.
As for the reason of the excitement, she herself wasn't sure about it but what she could make out of it was that, she was happy that he didn't have a girlfriend at this moment.
As for the question that Jack had just asked, although she had an impulse to reply yes, she knew that he was just joking. In any case, how could she become his girlfriend yet they hadn't known each other for more than a week.
Although it was a week, this was the third time that they were communicating. Although they had shared some of their experience, loves and hates, it wasn't to the extent that they could say they knew each other well.
Celine: [I'll pass.]
The duo chatted for over an hour before Jack decided to say goodnight, because he had some other things that he had to take care of during the day and in the evening, he would be having a fight. Although he was sure that the person that you was going to fight wasn't strong enough to give him any kind of difficulties, it was still better to be ready for anything.
….
Early the next morning, after Jack woke up, it was only then that he realized that he had only come with a single pair of clothes. In other words, other than the suit that he was wearing the previous day, he had no other clothes to change into.
Shaking his head, Jack decided to take his breakfast first before going to buy a few pairs of clothes. In the end, he was going to stay in Venture City for almost a week and there was no way that he was going to stay in the same pair of clothes for all this while.
It didn't take long for Jack to reach a mall that sold the clothes. It was called, Kampin Mall, a leading mall in Venture City. With him wearing a suit, he didn't encounter any snobbish sales person.
After buying a few pairs of clothes, just so as to make it movements in the city convenient, he decided to buy a car. Of course he already had enough luxury, what he wanted currently was something that could help him in moving around.
He simply bought a Mercedes-Benz E-class at a price of $570,000. Buying the clothes that were made from cashmere cost him $100,000. In total, his current balance was $5,123,654,890.
The legal procedures of the car took about half an hour to get completed. Immediately after that, Jack went to the hotel to change.
They had agreed to meet today at ten so that Edwin could show him around the company. Jack had to know those that were in charge of the company currently as he wasn't going to start taking care of the company himself.
But, if they lacked money, that was something that Jack didn't lack at the moment. In fact, he could give it a boost by investing more money to make the company become bigger.
The moment that he arrived in the parking lot of the hotel, he found that there were several parking spots that had already been occupied. In other words, the parking space was almost full with a single space left.
He wasn't sure why all of a sudden there were many cars here. But, what he was sure about was the fact that there might be a party, a conference or a meeting between big bosses in the hotel.
He was just about to park the car when suddenly, he heard a car's honking from behind. Looking behind via the rearview mirror, Jack could see that there was a blue Lamborghini Diablo.
Although it was more expensive than his Mercedes-Benz E-class, Jack didn't think much of it. After all, he could afford it considering that it was only worth about $3M.
He had a Bugatti Veyron that was worth tens of millions of dollars. So, there was no way that he would just behave like the owner of the Lamborghini behind him was worth a lot of respect from him to the extent of giving away a parking space.
So, he simply parked his car and ignored the person that was busy honking at him.
Upon noticing that he'd been ignored, the other party was of course not pleased. So, the doors of the Lamborghini opened and a young man with branded clothes from Versace alighted followed by a lady with a thick make-up.
"You, can you get that piece of crap from my parking space!" The guy shouted at Jack as he strode towards Jack aggressively.
Jack ignored him and headed towards the elevator that was in the parking lot. He had no time to deal with these nouveau riches that only knew how to flaunt their parent's wealth.
The guy simply ran towards Jack's car and stepped on its rear left tire while looking at Jack who didn't seem to want to stop as he said, "If you don't remove this piece of junk from here, I'll smash it for you."
When Jack heard these words, his steps halted. He had just bought the car because he wanted something that could make it convenient for him to move around the city. Now, someone was threatening to destroy it only after he'd bought it?
Although it wasn't expensive for Jack, it was time consuming for him to go back to the shop to buy another one. There was no way that he was going to do that as he still had other important things that he needed to handle.
He looked at the guy that was already stepping on the tires of his car and said simply, "If you do that, I'm afraid I'll have to reciprocate the favor."
Jack's words were clear to the ears of the duo. If they dared to smash his car, he would in turn smash theirs. At the end of the day, this guy would be the one that would suffer great losses.
"Hahaha, did I just hear your words correctly? You can smash my car? Do you think that you can afford it? Wearing a suit makes you think that you're a big shot?" The guy laughed out loudly as he looked at Jack contemptuously.
The girl that had thick make-up on chuckled as she looked at Jack. She said, "Garpy, this is a country bumpkin. He definitely doesn't know his place."
She then looked at Jack with disdain as she said, "Do you know how much that car costs?" Without waiting for Jack's reply, she continued, "It is worth $3M if you add the cost of customization. Even a single scratch, I'm afraid that you won't he able to afford to repaint it."
Just a few million dollars was nothing in front of Jack, not to mention a few thousand dollars. So, he looked at the guy called Garpy and said, "Just try it and stop wasting my time."
And immediately after that, he turned around and headed towards the elevator without looking back.
Garpy looked at Jack's departing back and his expression turned gloomy. He sneered, "Since you don't believe words, I have no choice but to use actions to show you what I mean."
And with that, Garpy looked around the parking lot and found a stone as big as a basketball and threw it towards the Mercedes Benz's rear windshield.
Crash!
The stone that was thrown with great strength immediately made the rear windshield dome in as countless cracks were formed. Additionally, the area around the car's boot was deformed.
The moment that Jack heard the sound of a glass window being broken, his eyes immediately turned cold. He turned his head and saw that Garpy had really smashed his car with a stone. Furthermore, he was taking the stone, ready to smash the car again.
Looking around, Jack found a fire extinguisher. He picked it up and slowly walked towards the Lamborghini Diablo. There was no need for him to talk, just actions were enough to prove his words.
Garpy and his girl were enjoying the thrill of smashing another's car when suddenly, they heard a loud crashing sound coming from behind them.
The moment that they saw what was happening, their faces paled. Garpy couldn't believe that this guy really had the guts to smash his car.
He had smashed Jack's car because he thought that Jack had no background at all. Furthermore, he himself wasn't someone simple as he was from the capital.
Although his family wasn't that big in the capital, in a place like Venture city, he could be said to be a force to be reckon with. Since Venture city was closer to the central province, his family's influence was good enough for him to do almost anything.
Although he had smashed Jack's car, using his family's connections, he could just pay a few thousand dollars if Jack called the police. But, Jack smashing his car was completely out of his expectations.
With rage in his eyes, he looked at Jack as he shouted, "How dare you smash my car? Can you afford to pay for it?"
[If I may ask, do you have a girlfriend?]
Throughout all of this time, Jack had never expected such a question coming from Celine. He wondered why she asked that question. Or she wanted to date him? He wasn't sure about it.
