Chapter 213 [Bonus ]Increasing Net Worth



Jack made sure to administer the punishment on Arthur in such a way that he would not get out of bed for a long period of time. He had broken several of his bones, made sure that he would no longer go looking for girls like a randy he goat. In other words, he had, he had made sure that he faced the same thing that Collins faced when he tried forcing himself on Celine.

As for Johnathan, since Jack wasn't killing Arthur, to him, it didn't matter what happened to Arthur at all. Even if Arthur had died, he wouldn't have cared. It was just that he didn't want the matters concerning his death to be linked to him.

In other words, he didn't want his grandfather to blame him that he was the one that was responsible of the death of his cousin. Although he wasn't the one that would have killed him directly, he would have done that indirectly.

And if that was put on him, his chances of being selected as the next family head would drop drastically. With the aim of making sure that his mother had a comfortable life in the family, he wanted to get the position. Otherwise, he would have cared nonetheless about such a thing.

After he was done with what he wanted to do, Jack looked at Johnathan and said, "Now that we are done with this idiot, why don't you tell me that you are ready to give me the shares that you promised me?"

"I tried contacting you to inform you that I have already completed the preparations for the transfer of the shares. But for some reason, you never picked any of my calls. So, I had no choice but to come and look for your girlfriend so that I can ask about your whereabouts." Johnathan replied.

Jack looked at him and nodded. On this day, he hadn't taken his phone with him as he left the villa. As for Johnathan knowing of where he was, that was nearly impossible in the whole city. Jack had moved to the serenity residential area.

And even so, he didn't tell Johnathan about that. So, it was understandable that he would look for Celine as she was the one that might have a clue about where he was. And that was true because Celine had visited his villa twice. Had it not been for her busy schedule, she might have visited him more than that.

Johnathan looked at Arthur who had already lost consciousness then back at Jack. He sighed and looked at a certain corner and shouted, "What the hell are you idiots doing there? Better get here and take this trash from here. Otherwise, he is going to die and you are the ones that are going to be blamed for that."

The moment that he finished speaking, the three bodyguards that Arthur always brought with him rushed out. Then, they gave a deep bow to both Jack and Johnathan before they picked up Arthur from the ground and left the area as fast as they could.

At the same time, they couldn't help but curse Arthur in their hearts. Their lives were just fine that was until they were assigned as his bodyguards. Although they had never liked what Arthur was doing, they were not in a position to stop him at all.

And now, his habits had led them into landing into the bad books of Johnathan, not to mention Jack who they were more afraid of now that they had seen him in action. If they could, they would have run away from all of this.

But, this was something that was impossible. When they were chosen amongst all the applicants that had wanted to work for the Jesda family, they were informed that they would never run away from their responsibilities. If they dared to do that, they would be risking their families as well.

There were some people that had tried running away after making a mistake. But in the end, none of them ended up well. They had their families kidnapped. And by using their families, those that had run away were forced to come and face their punishment.

And they, had failed in their mission of protecting Arthur from the vicious beating that he had received. All that they would have to do at the moment would be to give the full report about what happened here. Although they would still be punished, they hoped that their punishment would be reduced.

Jack watched them leaving without saying a word. As for the one that had slapped Katelyn, that guy would have to be dealt with by Johnathan. He was now interested in the issue concerning the shares that Johnathan was intending on transferring to him.

Knowing what he was thinking, Johnathan sighed and went ahead to open the door of his car. Then, he took a few documents that he had placed on the dashboard and gave them to Jack. Indeed, he was unwilling to part with these shares. But, he had no choice because he had made a promise that he would give them to Jack.

These shares were the ones that he owned. He had been working hard to acquire them. In other words, they were not related to the Jesda family at all.

Although he was giving Jack the shares, that didn't mean that he was giving him all the shares that he had on him. At the end of the day, he wasn't working for Jack. So, he was only going to handover the least amount of shares that he could give and that from the companies that weren't the best that he was having shares of.





But all the same, he was pained by the fact that he would have to part with these shares that he was having.

Jack cared not about what Johnathan was thinking or feeling. What was in his mind at the moment was whether the system would actually multiply the shares that he was receiving or not.

If it was going to be multiplied, that was something that he was going to be happy about. But if the multiplier effect wasn't going to be applied here, he would be greatly disappointed with the system. He was after all intending to shoot to the skies using the shares that Johnathan was giving him.

He read through the document with great expectation. At the same time, Johnathan talked about the shares that he was giving him.

"The shares that I'm offering you are those that belong to Kalmond entertainment company. Although it's not as big as compared to The Rose that the baldy gave to Celine, it's not that bad as well. It has a net worth of $70B. I currently hold 20% shares of that company. So, I'm giving you half of that, 10%. This should be enough, right?" Johnathan asked at the end of it.

Jack read through the document. Since he knew that he might be rewarded by the system a company, he had been paying attention to the companies out there. So, he knew about Kalmond as well.

Although it couldn't be considered amongst the top entertainment companies in the country, it was a middle tier one. The ten percent shares that he had received from Johnathan was the same as him receiving $7B.

Although it wasn't bad considering that this was just the compensation for Johnathan trying to use him to get himself out of trouble with his mother, Jack was a little dissatisfied about that. He looked at Johnathan and asked, "Why don't you just give me all the shares that you are having in Kalmond? You know, just to make sure that they won't confuse me with you."

"Dream on! Do you think that I got those shares that easily? I had to work hard so that I could even have a chance of getting the amount of money to buy those shares. And now, I just gave you half of them." Johnathan was immediately infuriated by Jack's greedy side.

If he could, he would have surely beaten up Jack. He had been working hard to accumulate his own wealth that wasn't linked to the Jesda family. He had started a long time ago. And, it was due to his sharp mind that he had managed to get the shares.

To give them to Jack because of a petty reason like him being used to deal with Anita's questions, it really made his heart bleed. But, he knew that perhaps in the future, he might have to depend on Jack for something. As such, he decided to think of this as investment from him.

Jack sighed. He had expected that Johnathan wouldn't agree to this. But all the same, he had at least gotten a few billions worth of shares that would help him in the long run establishment of the Jackson Enterprise.

Now then, it was time for him to sign the document and see if the system was going to multiply the shares that he had received or not. He looked at Johnathan and asked, "You gave me the document but you didn't give me the pen to sign this thing."

Johnathan's lips twitched when he heard that. But all the same, he took out a pen from the car and handed it to Jack.

Jack smiled as he placed the signature at the bottom of the paper. Immediately after he was done with that, a system prompt appeared. His smile widened further as he read the prompt that had appeared in front of his eyes.
