Chapter 113 The Capital, Kartu
After five hours, Jack finally landed in the capital of Azima, Kartu city. There were not many procedures that had to be taken care of there. Instead, he simply had to leave the other things about the plane to Gabriel to deal with as he was experienced.r
After reaching the waiting area, he found that Denali was already waiting for him. She had already made preparations for his arrival here.r
Having been a few days since they last met, Jack found that Denali hadn't changed at all. But that was to be expected as it was only a few days and not years. So, there were not that many changes that could take place in such a short period of time.r
He got into the Lamborghini Urus that was waiting for him. This was a car that Denali had bought when she came to the capital. It cost about $230,000. Looking that it wasn't even worth a million dollars, it was obviously a drop to the bucket when compared to his $5B.r
Denali drove the car to a five star hotel. And on the way, Jack looked at the huge difference between the central region and the western zone that he was from.r
The buildings here were all sky-rise buildings. Looking at the side through the window of the car from the passenger seat, Jack could see the tall skyscrapers that had hundreds of floors.r
To be honest, Jack was amazed by how this place was so developed. In other words, although it could be said that Venture city was developed as compared to inchoate city, it couldn't even match the capital, Kartu city.r
Now, he could understand why Wendy and the others would leave the capital to go to the other regions for adventurer, to enjoy themselves and relax.r
The central region was mainly dominated by the high-rise buildings and other things that were related to technology. In other words, there were only a few scenic cites that they could enjoy themselves.r
Another thing that was to note was definitely the fact that the central zone was the smallest of the five regions. Although it was small, it was actually the backbone of the country in terms of technology and development.r
As for the other regions, they were the real source of food. But technology was obviously not highly developed there.r
The hotel that Denali had taken him to was called Cardinals Supreme Hotel. The cost of staying there for a night was $26,000. Denali had stated that she had booked the suite for a whole month.r
Since Jack was going to come back to Kartu city after going to deal with the invitation that he had received from Wendy, there was actually no problem at all of they rented the suite for a whole month. In any case, he didn't lack that amount of money.r
After settling in and having his meal, Jack asked Denali to make some arrangements for Gabriel and the other pilot. Since he was going to go back soon, the pilot would have to stay in Kartu.r
Jack decided to go out for a walk. He didn't take the car because he was going out to admire the infrastructure of the city.r
Walking on the clean streets and observing the pedestrians who were walking hurriedly, Jack felt amazed. But all the same, he knew that this was just a picture that had been painted. Once the things that were hiding were exposed, there would definitely be dirty things that were hiding in the dark.r
Strolling around, he was amazed by the level of technology here. The way that advertisements were being carried out here was definitely more advanced. Jack decided that he would definitely implement this type of technology to his enterprise.r
Thinking of the enterprise, he had yet to register it. Although he had already gotten the building to set up the enterprise, he had yet to officially register it as one of the enterprises.r
The grocery department was operating on its own although it was going to be under the enterprise. Now, as long as he was done merging the security companies as well as completed the changes that could be made in the medical research centre, he would then register the enterprise.r
He was just about to cross the road when suddenly, a sports car came at a high speed. Looking at the approaching car, Jack hurriedly jumped to the side and evaded. Although the car had also reduced the speed when it arrived in front of him, had he stood in front of it, he would definitely have been hit.r
His reaction speed had really saved him this time. And although he had yet to test the limit of his ability, he dared not to put his life at stake if it wasn't necessary to do that.r
Just as Jack was frowning while looking at the red Ford GT and was still wondering who the person who didn't look at the traffic light was, the door of the car opened.r
The next moment, a young man walked out of it as he walked towards Jack aggressively. Then, he spoke, "You idiot! Don't you look at where you're going to when you're crossing the road? Do you know that you almost caused me to be in an accident?"r
Instead of apologizing, this guy was actually scolding him? Jack was completely stunned for a moment in that he didn't know what he was supposed to say next.r
Looking at the silent Jack, the young man continued, do you know how much my car costs? With the customizations in place, it's going to cost a total of $540,000. Do you think you can afford to pay for a scratch on it?"r
Jack didn't respond and looked at the traffic light. At this moment, with the advanced level of technology here, he could already see that it indicated that cars were supposed to stop while pedestrians were allowed to pass.r
In other words, he wasn't the one at fault here. Instead, the young man was the one that was at fault. But at the end of the day, he was actually scolding him instead of apologizing? How infuriating!r
Jack looked at him and asked, "Are you blind? Don't you see that you were the one supposed to stop?" As he spoke, he pointed at the traffic light that was still showing that pedestrians were supposed to be crossing the road.r
Looking at where Jack was pointing at, the young man was stunned for a moment before he snorted, "Heh, what traffic light? That thing has only showed up after I have stopped to talk to you. And wait…did you just say that I was blind? Do you f*cking know who I am?"r
Supposedly, it was only at this moment that the young man made out Jack's first words. So, he was immediately angered and began pointing his finger at Jack while cursing. He looked like he was ready to attack at any moment.r
With the way that the streets were busy, how could this commotion fail to attract attention? It obviously made a group crowd around them. Those that had seen what had happened immediately began telling the others about it.r
In return, these people informed the others that had just arrived at that moment. And so, there was a crowd that was looking at the two, waiting for a show while murmuring to each other.r
"Hey, what happened here?"r
"That guy over there was driving his car. Then, the other guy over there was crossing the road. The guy with the car almost knocked him with his car."r
"Huh? So that's how it is."r
"Hey, what's happening now? What's the show about?"r
"Oh, I heard that the guy there was crossing the road without looking at the traffic lights and was almost crushed to death by the car of that young man there."r
"Can you tell me what those two are doing?"r
"They're obviously about to fight, as you can see. But, anyway, I heard that the guy with the car wanted to knock the other guy and kill him. But luckily, that person managed to survive and so, that guy came out, wanting to kill him by himself."r
"My, is that guy going to beat the other one?"r
"How can that happen? I just heard that when the young man there drove his car to knock the other one down, the guy simply used his bare hands to stop the car. How can that young man beat him?"r
"Wow! Is he superhuman? I would like to get his autograph!"r
"What a bunch of idiots! Can't you see that it was this young man here that was pretending to be knocked by the car to extort money from him? Now that the other guy found out, he wants to fight him."r
"Come on. Where are they fighting? They obviously are fighting with wealth and mouth."r
"Ain't that the same thing? They're fighting at the end of the day. Anyway, that doesn't concern me, I'll just stand here and watch the show."r
"…."r
With his sharp senses, Jack could definitely hear what the crowd was whispering to each other. The more he heard them, the more stunned he got.r
These guys were obviously distorting facts! How the hell is information passed in this era? If you say A, by the time it will reach the intended person, it will already be Z. Indeed, you cannot trust humans to pass the sensitive information to others! That's the conclusion that Jack came to at that moment.r
But, that aside, since he was here for the first time, he was in a good mood. Considering that it was already almost 7pm, Jack decided to leave things as they were at the moment.r
He wasn't in the mood to argue with some unreasonable and self-conceited young masters. So, he decided to ignore this guy and leave to explore the city first. He didn't have that much time.r
Seeing that Jack was about to leave, the young man rushed forward and stopped him, "You're trying to run after almost causing me to be in an accident? There's no way that you're leaving unless you compensate me for the psychological damage."r
Jack was speechless and angry at this moment. He wasn't the one at fault previously. And, he had decided to let the matter go. But this guy wanted him to compensate him? Wasn't he thinking too highly of himself?r
Seeing Jack's expression, the young man smiled coldly before saying, "I know that you cannot afford the compensation of $100,000. So, how about you become my servant who's going to clean my shoes?"r
