Chapter 111 Expanding Foundation
(A/N: Starting from this point on, I will be using their US dollars as the currency for the novel. When I was using the currency that I used in the previous chapters, there are people who complained about the value of the currency and so, I hope that you don't mind if I start using the current currency of US dollars in the following chapters. You will have to remember that the conversion rate between the currency that I was using and the US dollars is 10:1.)r

Jack asked the lady to have the watch delivered to his mansion. He was lazy to go out and pick it by himself. Since there was free delivery service, Jack would take it.r
Not long after the call ended, Jack was informed by Bob that there was someone who had claimed that she was there to see him. Jack asked him to let her in.r
And not long after he ended the call, The familiar lady walked into the mansion. She wasn't alone and she was accompanied by a few men who Jack thought that they were security.r
In any case, the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle that he had ordered was something precious considering that it was one of the limited editions. As such, it had to be protected.r
Jack received the watch and looked at it. And just like he had seen the model before, he found that the watch was still the way that he had expected, they were absolutely no changes that had been made on it.r
After signing and confirming that he had received the watch, the lady left. Since he was already having a Patek Philippe, he decided that he would be changing the watches every week. In any case, he had bought the watches so that he could put them on and not to store them.r
Jack and Celine decided to stay at the palace for the day. Although Celine had calmed down a little bit, she still needed to relax a little more so that she could relax her mind out that had been shaken by the kidnapping incidence.r
Later in the evening, Jack decided to take her out with him so that she could enjoy the race. Faith had already left so that she could deal with the issue concerning the police that were continuing to search for Celine.r
Since she had nothing to do at the moment, and considering the fact that she was quite curious about Jack's racing skills, Celine agreed to Jack's proposal to accompany him to Mount Bright.r
Knowing that he would not use the Bugatti Veyron for racing, Jack simply drove his Bentley Continental GT to Mount Bright.r
When he arrived at the management office, he found that Ben was waiting there for him. And the moment that he saw that Celine was actually together with Jack, he was obviously infuriated. Had it not been for the fact that fights were not allowed at Mount Bright, he would have already charged forward and beaten up Jack to a pulp.r
But all the same, the reddening of his eyes and the anger that was shown on his face, couldn't be hidden from Jack's eyes. In response to this, he simply smiled.r
Was there anything that he could do in such a situation? No! There was nothing that he could do when the lady chose him over Ben. But, there was definitely something that he could do if Ben was chosen instead of him.r
On seeing Jack's smile, Ben was further irritated. But in the end, he only snorted before entering the management office.r
Quickly, the procedures were done and finally, Jack saw the system prompts that indicated that his reward had been multiplied.r
Ben left after coming to an agreement that Jack had to sell the shares back to him.r
[You've received 10% shares of good health hospital. Multiplier applied. You receive 70% of the shares of Hope hospital.]r
[You've received 3% shares of Bomba group. Multiplier applied. You receive 21% shares of Andis corporation.]r
Although Ben was from a big family in blue City, he was still from the younger generation at the end of the day. So the shares in his hands were only a few. And having lost them, Jack was sure that Ben was going to have a difficult life back at home.r
But he didn't care about this. What he cared about the most was the fact that, although the system had said that the multiplier effect would not be applied on the income that came from betting, why was it applied on the one that he received from Ben?r
[The multiplier effect was supposed to be applied on the day that the bet was won. In other words, you had already earned the income but it had not yet been delivered to you. The multiplier effect is applied on the income only when the income that you have received has a proof that they belong to you.]r
Jack finally understood why the multiplier effect had been applied although it was supposed to be when he had upgraded the system to the second level.r
Deciding that he was going to do the research about the shares that the system had granted him when he got back home, Jack joined the race.r
It just so happened that William and the others were also present on that day. It was just that they had arrived later, after Ben took his leave.r
The group was surprised that Jack was together with Celine, or was it that they were surprised that Celine was with Jack? Whatever it was that they thought, they still managed to maintain their composure in front of a big shot like Celine.r
At that moment, they had great respect for Jack as he could capture the heart of such a beauty. And just like before, they didn't believe it even if Jack said that they were actually not in a relationship, but were just normal friends.r
As for Celine, she didn't say anything to explain. At the end of the day, she was going to leave Inchoate city by the following month.r
This time, Jack didn't want to break the record that he had already set. He wanted Celine to enjoy the race. So, although he was driving fast, it wasn't to the extent that he had done the first time.r
But although he had not driven that fast, he still took the first position in the competition. But what had changed was obviously the time that he had taken to complete the race and the range between him and the runner-up.r
When they went back to the palace, they found that Faith had already come back. According to what she said, Jack found that she had forged an excuse that Celine had suddenly been released by the kidnappers.r
Although the one that was in charge of taking the statement was doubtful about it, since the one who initiated the search for Celine had claimed that she had been found, they had no choice but to close the case since Faith had no intention of pursuing the matter further.r
If this was any other time, she would definitely have continued pursuing the matter until she found out who was the real culprit behind the kidnapping. But after hearing that Jack was going to deal with them, she decided to leave the matter to him.r
Jack prepared dinner for the ladies and after they ate, they chatted for a long while, before Faith and Celine went to the princess mansion to rest for the night.r
Once he was alone, Jack decided that it was time for him to look into the matter concerning the shares that he had received.r
Through searching on the internet, he found out the information about the hospital and corporation.r
The 10% shares of good health hospital was worth a total of 5 million dollars. And once the multiplier was applied, Jack received 70% of the shares of Hope hospital that was worth 500 million dollars.r
On the other hand, Bomba group was the group that had been formed by Ben's family. In other words, Jack had become a member of a group that was supposed to be a family's private group.r
But at the end of the day, Jack had agreed to sell back the shares that he had taken from Ben. That was only after he had signed to take possession of it. If he had accepted money instead, he would not have gotten the 21% shares of Andis corporation or the hospital.r
In other words, he had signed the document that agreed to the transfer of the shares to him, only to sign another agreement that he agreed to transfer the shares back to Ben.r
Although Celine, Ben and Peter were both confused about Jack's actions, they didn't ask him at all. So, when he left Mount Bright, Jack had received a total of 13 million dollars.r
What Jack currently wanted was to create a foundation for his future Enterprise. If he simply accepted money, there was no way he was going to build connections.r
The shares that he had received were worth 800 million dollars. Although the amount couldn't be compared to the 30 billion of Good Vision Security Limited, Jack could still expand it.r
After he was done with this, he decided to look at his balance. Denali had been using money since he had given her the platinum card that had access to his current account.r
But Jack wasn't worried about that because he knew that, he was using it to stabilize and expand the companies that he had just bought recently.r
[Flyers Bank Savings Account Balance is $5,734,953,321] (Currently in US dollars, ten times less the previous currency.)r
This was his current balance after buying the remaining 49% shares of Brightway Medical Research Centre, together with other expenditures such as hiring and firing their staff of the companies that were under him in the past few days.r
But of course, all of this was done by Denali who was currently at the Capital. She was currently preparing the Good vi Vision Security Limited for the merging with the Amber security and Safety Enforcers.r
Jack decided to stay here in Inchoate City for two more days before heading towards the capital. He wanted to deal with Brightway Medical Research Centre by taking over the shares through signing the documents.r
What came after that was obviously the production of the body strengthening pill.r
