Jack nodded and he replied. "She passed away about four years ago."
As expected, Anita wasn't pleased by the news that she received. She had not seen her sister for over 20 years. Let alone seeing her, she had not even exchanged a single word with her since she left.
ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom Now, she managed to see her sister's son. She was really excited. But at the end of it all, she received the news that her sister was dead. This was one big damage to her emotions and state of mind. She nearly collapsed.
It wasn't just Jack, even Jonathan knew the result of his mother receiving the information about her sister's death. So, he immediately went forward and tried to calm her down.
Jack also knew that this wasn't the right moment for them to talk. She wasn't in a good condition at the moment, and as such, talking with her would be useless.
"Aunt, I have a few things to take care of at the moment. So, the next time that we speak, I hope that we will be talking face-to-face. As for the information about what had happened, Jonathan can tell you about it." Jack stated.
Anita's mind was currently messed up. So, although she clearly heard what he was saying, her muddled thoughts made her to shake her head only to nod again.
Jack decided to end the call there, since it was true that he had things to do. Furthermore, he wasn't the one that had planned for the early meeting between the two of them. So, unless he was sure that he could handle the Jesda family, he wouldn't appear in front of them.
But he knew one thing for the fact that, he was bound to meet some people that knew about Jonathan. These people would obviously confuse him for Johnathan.
But all the same, although he was staying away, that didn't mean that he was afraid of the Jesda family. This was just a precaution that he was taking.
After hanging up, Jack made sure to continue with the production of the body strengthening solution.
When he was done with it, he turned his attention to something else. That was the fact that, he had yet to finish dealing with Collins. As for his lackeys, he didn't know if they had convinced their parents to give away 50% of their total assets to the Gravy family.
But most likely not, he was sure that since these people didn't know his strength, they would simply ignore what he had said. But that was where they were going to make a mistake of their lives.
Without wasting any more time, Jack contacted Wendy and asked her about the information of all those that were involved.
Although she didn't know why Jack was asking about the information, she still went ahead and gave him all the information that she knew about them.
"Are you planning on doing something?" After she had given him all the information that he wanted, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
Jack chuckled and said, "I'm not making my move at the moment. I'm waiting for the time that I have given them to elapse before I do that."
"What are you talking about?" Wendy asked confusedly. Of course, she didn't know about what Jack had planned. All she thought was that Jack wanted to take care of them.
"Nothing big really, I told them to convince their families to give 50% of their total wealth to Celine's family. This was a compensation that they had to pay for their actions." Jack replied nonchalantly.
Wendy's mouth went agape in surprise and disbelief. "You know that they won't do that, right?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I know. And that is the exact reason as to why I am asking about their information. I gave them a one month period. Once the time is up, if they have not fulfilled what I had asked them of, I will make them lose everything instead of half of it." Jack replied.
"Hahaha, I guess they deserve it." Wendy giggled. She couldn't help but look forward to the fate of the people who had assaulted her friend. She even thought that the punishment that Jack was giving them wasn't enough.
And although she knew about Jack having their limbs broken, she still didn't think that it was enough to pay for the chastity of a woman. And that was more so when it involved her own friend, whom she considered as a sister.
She didn't doubt Jack's ability to deal with all those families of the ones that were involved. She knew about him getting the helicopters that even the Jesda family could only acquire a single one of them.
This alone proves that Jack had more ability than they had seen. And if he wasn't capable of doing that, he wouldn't have tried in the first place. The combination of both of the Gravy family, and her own family, was enough to deal with Collin's family.
"Okay then, I'm looking forward to it." Wendy replied. She was just about to hang up when she suddenly asked Jack about something that she thought about.
"By the way, Celine told me that the two of you have gotten together. So, why haven't you asked her about the information that you just asked me about? She knows about them just like I do."
"She's quite busy with some kind of work at her mother's company. So, I'm not willing to distract her." Jack replied.
"And you thought that I was the only one that you could distract from doing whatever I was doing?" Wendy asked in a displeased tone.
"Oh, sorry about that, I really didn't consider things through." Jack finally realized where the question was going. So, acted fast enough and ended the call immediately after he replied.
He wasn't ready to play these games with the girl. After all, girls are unpredictable.
….
Just like that, a week went by.
During this week, a lot of things had taken place. Amongst them was the compensation that the Glaze hotel had given out to the victims of the attack that had occurred.
And of course, this caused quite a sensation in the city. Glaze hotel was well known in the city. As such, any information related to it was easily known by the public through the media.
The news about the attack wasn't a secret. Many people knew about it. And they also knew about the people who had died inside there.
As expected, the government gave the compensation to the families who had lost their loved ones. The most unexpected move was from the Glaze Hotel when they offered compensation. And their compensation was even higher than the one that the government had offered.
This caused the way that people viewed the hotel to change drastically. Although most of the people were afraid of going to the hotel after the incident, when they realize that the hotel had taken action to compensate those that had suffered, they thought that it wasn't bad to go there.
But they were also surprised by the fact that the hotel was closed down for a whole week. As for the reason behind that, all the workers had gone on a vacation! And to make matters worse, it was the boss who had sponsored the vacation!
This was something absurd according to most of the people, especially those who are in the hotel business. They knew that has single day without opening the hotel, was the same as making a loss, or a great reduction in the profits that they would receive at the end of the year.
But all the same, all the competitors of Glaze Hotel were quite happy that they had no competition at that point.
But that's only in the capital city. In the other cities that the hotel had its branches, the business soared. This was quite a blow to those that thought that they are going to benefit during this time the hotel was facing a crisis.
Now, the only thought in their minds was that, although he is making a loss in the capital, the increase in profits from the other cities can make up for it.
While all this was ongoing, Denali had also made arrangements for the hotel to acquire a new building. The plans for the relocation were already completed and the hotel will be reopened on the following day.
Leaving that aside, Celine had already signed the contract and received 12% shares of The Rose Entertainment Company. But even so, she didn't let her mother know about it because she was planning to give the shares back to Jack in case he needed them.
As for the solutions that Jack had prepared, he had already given Valnaro 50 bottles. This made Valnaro very happy. According to his perspective, 50 bottles a week was definitely not a small amount.
It wasn't considered a small amount because of the benefits that it brought along. This made Jack think that maybe he should have reduced the amount. But what was done was already done.
As for the permission to acquire the firearms, Valnaro had given him the certificate that approved it. As such, all the people in his company that were going to be given the firearms to utilize, they would need to give the information to the government so that they could be registered.
And basically, that was it. As for acquiring the firearms themselves, Jack didn't waste that much time going around to look for someone who could enable him to acquire them. He simply bought them from the military directly due to Valnaro's connections.
As for the information concerning the one that was behind the attack on his Hotel, according to Valnaro, they were still doing the investigation to confirm what was being said was actually true.
To Jack, the time that was being taken didn't matter, what mattered the most was the fact that he could get the one that was behind it and punish that person thoroughly.
So he decided to give Valnaro more time for him to continue the investigation.
Back to GVSL, Livingstone had brought a few more people who were in the same condition as him before he received the body strengthening solution.
And through Denali, Jack managed to acquire a total of 15 people who were from the army, Livingstone and the other five included. These 15 added to the mercenaries that he had acquired, the amount of power that Jack had, was increased drastically.
Ayush and Tracy who had also taken the body strengthening solution also began their training during their free time. This was just the basic that they thought that they should have, as people who dealt with security issues.
During this past week, Jack had managed to meet with Celine only twice. She was really busy and she was moving around a lot.
Back to the present, Jack was now preparing to go to the Brightway Medical Research Centre because the first batch of the anti-leukemia pills had been produced.
Now, it was time for the testing. Jack was now looking forward to if the pills would work or not.
