Chapter 105 The Mastermind

About ten minutes later, Jack received a call from Denali.r

"Hello master, I've found who the owner of the account is. The person is called James Hosda. He works for the Dante family under Ruben Shinily. Ruben Shinily is the head butler of the Dante family and is currently serving the current family head, Kevin Dante." Denali began.r

"According to the records of the conversation, I have hacked into the private message that he had received two days ago stating that James Hosda was supposed to hire a group of gangsters to cause trouble for Jackson Enterprise Grocery Department."r

As Jack listened, his expression darkened. He himself hadn't expected that the family head of the Dante family would target him. As far as he could remember, other than in the banquet that was organized by Celine, he had never met Kevin.r

Additionally, even during the banquet, he couldn't remember interacting with him. But at the end of it all, he was targeted by the other party.r

The Dante family had no dealings with the groceries. So, this couldn't be said to be a rivalry in business. But, this was now at a personal level, a level that Jack would absolutely not tolerate.r

"Okay then. Try and look into the Dante family, try and see if you can find anything related to the reason as to why they are targeting me." Jack instructed after a moment of thought.r

"Yes master." Denali replied.r

After hanging up, Jack looked at Jerk Brother who was trying to catch what the person at the other end was saying. Upon noticing that the call had ended, he leaned his back on the couch and pretended that he hadn't done anything.r

Jack had obviously seen his actions. But, he decided to ignore them because he had other things to do at the moment and there was nothing sensitive that they had spoken of.r

"You can have those goons of yours retreat. I already know that the one that gave you the mission is the head butler of the Dante family." Jack stated.r

Ignoring Jerk Brother's surprised gaze, he continued, "You better pay up whatever you're supposed to. But if you try playing any tricks again, I surely will make you pay for that."r

He turned around and headed for the door. He stopped for a moment as if he had just remembered something. He said without looking back, "I've taken a few of your men to be working for me. So, I hope that you won't cause problems for them. Or else, I'll make one for you and I can assure that you won't like it."r

And with the last word, Jack stepped out of the room.r

Once he saw Jack walking out of the room, Jerk Brother immediately wiped away the cold sweat that had accumulated on his forehead. It was only at this moment that he realized how tense he really was in front of Jack.r

Although Jack was just a youth and he himself was already in his early fifties, he was greatly pressured by Jack.r

The thing that had shocked him the most was that, Jack had actually found out who was the one that had sent the money within ten minutes! This was something that even the big family in Inchoate city couldn't do.r

What's more, although the Dante family had tried hiding their tracks, just with the account number, Jack had found who the sender was.r

Didn't that mean that Jack had powerful connections with someone at the bank? Furthermore, he knew who the person was although he wasn't named Dante, Jack actually found out that he was related to the Dante family.r

'I better try not to provoke him. Otherwise, I will surely be finished.' Jerk Brother thought to himself.r

…..r

A huge crowd of people was blocking the hallway about a hundred meters from the room that Jack was talking with Jerk Brother. Each and every one of them was holding a weapon and they seemed to be waiting for someone.r

In front of the group, big two and big three stood there, each of them gazing towards the entrance not far away from them.r

This was the scene that Jack saw the moment that he stepped out of the room. He looked at the huge crowd of people that were blocking the corridor with a smile.r

He didn't stop walking and neither was he surprised to see them here. With his senses, he had already heard them the moment that they entered the basement.r

He could already guess that this group was planning on overthrowing Jerk Brother. All that time that Jack had been inside that room, if these guys were really going to help, they would have already done so. They had arrived about five minutes after the two left the room.r

But, Jack had been in the room for over twenty minutes but they hadn't showed up. Although they indeed came in earlier, they had been standing there, waiting.r

"I guess that you guys are waiting for me to deal with your boss before you can take over the throne of the gang?" Jack asked with a smile on his face as soon as he was in front of the group.r

They smile made big three's heart skip a beat at the moment. It wasn't long since he saw that smile. That was the same smile on his face when he beat up more than twenty people of the group that he had taken to deal with Jack.r

"What are you talking about? We just arrived here and we're waiting for you so that we can beat you up." Big three said.r

Looking at the big group behind him, he got his courage to face Jack.r

On the other hand, Jack simply chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter. But if you were expecting me to kill the boss for you before you can attack me in the name of revenge, then I'm sorry to disappoint you, your boss is still alive and healthy."r

Jack's words stunned both big three and big two. They never thought that Jack could easily see through their plan. But all the same, they decided that they were going to deal with Jack.r

Jack had already beaten big three and that was enough of a reason for them to attack. Big three was just about to order the group to charge forward when they heard a shout coming from behind Jack.r

"What the f*ck are you doing there?! Can you get out of the way and let the gentleman pass?!" Jerk Brother yelled. He wanted Jack to get out of here as fast as possible. But, the group under him was already trying to make him stay.r

Jerk Brother's words stunned the group. They hadn't expected that their boss would allow Jack to leave. Although big three was reluctant, he had no choice but to give up on the idea of having his revenge for a moment.r

They had planned to finish off Jack the moment that they found out that Jerk Brother was dead. According to what big three had thought, Jack was furious and would definitely kill Jerk Brother.r

And in the name of having revenge for their boss, they would attack Jack. As for why they couldn't just attack Jerk Brother and take the throne from him was simple, if they dared to betray the leader of a gang, all the other gangs will definitely eliminate them.r

But now that the plan was no longer going to work, they had to look for ways to deal with the furious Jerk Brother.r

The crowd parted and Jack walked out. He got out through the wooden cabin and finally left the villa as he headed towards Celine's friend's company, Eminent Beauty.r

As for how Jerk Brother was going to deal with the two people who tried betraying him, he didn't care as it was none of his business.r

Along the way, he called the guy that was leading the gangsters that he'd left at Diza warehouse and told him that they were supposed to look for him at the entrance of the Business Overlord Building the following day.r

And after that, he called George. Not long after, George responded.r

"Hello boss! Are you okay?" George's voice was filled with concern. Jack had left to deal with a group of gangsters and as a result, he was concerned.r

He now took Jack not only as his boss, but as a friend. So, he was really concerned about his safety.r

"Yeah, I'm okay. How are things on your side?" Jack replied before asking.r

"It's good that you're okay. As for this side, the gangsters are retreating. There are areas that they had retreated from earlier." George replied.r

Jack nodded in satisfaction. Although the gangsters might have caused him to lose some customers, he was sure that they would be back in a while.r

"I have something to tell you. It seems that your family is involved with the gangsters." Jack said solemnly.r

"Ah? Are you sure about that boss? If it's my uncle Frank, then he's definitely doing this on his own but not the family." George tried to reason things out.r

"I guess you know Ruben Shinily?" Jack asked.r

"Our family's butler?" George was surprised that Jack knew about the old butler.r

"Yes, he's the one that paid the gangsters to cause me to close the stores." Jack said.r

"This can't be. Wait, I'll ask them about this." George said before ending the call. He absolutely knew that this involved the Dante family, then that meant that his family wanted to fight with Jack. But what he didn't know was why that was so.r

…r

Dante family mansion.r

Inside the study, Kevin looked at Ruben and asked, "How are things going with the plan?"r

"They're good. Yesterday, they had a drop of sales by about 90%." Ruben replied.r

"Okay then, I would like you to organize a meeting with Jack. If possible, I would like that to happen tonight. We can invite him to dinner and discuss things through." Kevin said.r

"Okay," Ruben replied before taking his phone, ready to make a call. But before he could, the phone rang. Looking at the unfamiliar number, he frowned for a moment before he received it.r

"Hello?"r

"Are you Mr Ruben of the Dante family?"
