After he paid a visit to Nathan, Jack's life went back to the way that it was previously. He went on to help Denali in managing the companies as well as making the plans for the future expansion.
Considering that he had to monopolize at least five industries to make sure that he had completed the system's requirements for the upgrade, he had to lay a bigger foundation than the one that he currently had.
As for Nathan, he didn't spare him. At that time, he had only paid him a visit to at least remind him that, the house arrest was actually not the end of the punishment that he was going to receive.
And true to what he had said back then, Jack had released a lot of information to the police. To make things easier for him to avoid the usage of the connections that the Jesda family had, he had decided that he was going to use the media once again.
He had made sure that, all types of media platforms had gotten the information about Nathan's actions that completely broke the laws.
In this way, after the news was exposed, even if the Jesda family intended to keep Nathan in the family, they would have no choice but to concede to the public outrage.
Of course, although he had revealed the information to the media outlets, he had instructed them that, they would only release the news when he wanted them to do that.
And if they dared not to do as he wanted them to do, he would be left with no choice but to hack their servers once again.
Yes, he had decided that he was going to blackmail the guys so that they would do his bidings.
With the fear that he had already installed in them the previous time that he had hacked their servers for two hours, these media outlets had no choice but to concede to him.
At the end of the day, if they refused, they were the ones that were going to suffer the losses. Once Jack controlled the servers and prevented the running of the programs, then, the losses that they were going to incur would be unimaginable.
Additionally, added to the fact that, what he wanted them to release to the public was actually some kind of information about a person that was supposed to face the law, they were going to comply to it anyways.
They could take this as an opportunity that had been granted to them. They could twist the facts in such a way that, it would no longer be that they were the ones that were being forced to reveal the information. But, they were the ones that had gotten the information through their hard work.
In this way, they would have soaring reputations that would wash away the humiliation that they had experienced previously when Jack had hacked into their servers.
But of course, although they were complying with Jack's demands, that didn't mean that they were not trying to find out who he was.
They would never like being controlled like that. Who could tell what Jack would ask of them in the future?
What the guys didn't know was the fact that, the information that they had gotten was on someone with a big background.
Their plans to hog all the credits would surely cause them a lot of problems in the future…
Jack had already foreseen that they might actually refuse to do as he wanted at the cost of some losses once they knew that Nathan was a part of the Jesda family.
Although it was true that most of the public didn't know about Jesda family, that was only applied to those that were in the lower levels. As for those big bosses, they knew about them.
They for sure knew about the fact that, these big families could resort to drastic means such as killing if it involved their interests.
With that to the side, Jack had continued dealing with a few other things. There was the one that involved the research Centre, the anti-leukemia pills.
Through the influence that Johnathan had, he had managed to help Jack to have the clinical trials go through faster than they should have initially.
And as such, by the end of this month, the first batch of the anti-leukemia pills were supposed to be entering the market soon.
This was something that Jack was actually looking forward to. Although it was true that the system had already granted him the first income reward in the first month that he had acquired the research Centre, that didn't mean that he wasn't expecting something soon.
Not only would the anti-leukemia pills be the first in the world that could actually grant a person immunity to leukemia. but, they would also be sold by only his research Centre.
For the sales that were to come, Jack had already made preparations for this by acquiring a few pharmaceutical companies. Although they were small, that didn't actually matter to him.
In the end, all these companies were under the process of being merged into a single entity. With his capital, there would be nothing for him to worry about when it came to competition.
Additionally, there was a fact that, there were going to be a few more types of medicines that were bound to be found only by him through the system.
As such, the pharmaceutical company that would be under him would be granted the monopoly power over those drugs.
As for what he was currently doing to deal with Nathan, that was to completely ruin the reputation that Nathan had.
And, all that information that was present with the media was amongst the ones that he was planning to utilize.
What he wanted was not only a painful death for Nathan, but also, even in death, Jack wanted Nathan's soul to be tormented.
The torment would of course come from the public outrage that would ensue the moment that they were going to be informed about what Nathan had done.
That guy, just to get to the position that he was in before Jack ruined it for him, he had committed a lot. There were many people that had suffered a lot and they would be more than happy if they could see him getting what he deserved.
….
Currently, a week had gone by since all those events had taken place during the week that Jack had paid a visit to the Jesda residence.
Jack was now seated in the living room of his villa, facing someone that, although he had expected that he would visit, he was still surprised by that visit.
The person that was in front of him was someone that was supposedly related to him. He was his maternal grandfather, Benjamin.
To say the truth, Jack had no sentimental value for the grandfather that was in front of him. Although he was his grandfather, the two of them were meeting for the first time.
Jack was currently nearing 20 years old. And although the old man in front of him was actually the father to his mother, to say the least, Jack cared nonetheless about him.
If truth was to be told, it could be Said that he had a grudge with him. Although he was actually his mother's father, He had not done anything when his uncle Nathan was planning some sinister schemes that would have landed his mother into trouble.
Although the marriage is that were involved were mainly political, there was completely no love in the marriage. And according to the information that Jack had collected, the person that was supposed to marry his mother at that time was actually a sc*mbag.
"It is nice to see you, Jack." Benjamin stated with an amiable smile on his face as he looked at Jack. He had a hint of pride on his face as he looked at him.
"Well, I can't say the same." Jack was blunt with his words, Not trying to sugar-coat them at all.
Benjamin knew that this was going to happen when he came over to meet Jack. The two of them had never met before and this was something that was bound to happen.
They didn't have any kind of interactions in the past and as such, they were no different from strangers other than the Blood bond that they shared.
"It seems that you are a straightforward person." Benjamin stated. Without waiting for just to say a word further, he asked, "So, how have you been all this time?"
"Fine, I guess." Jack replied sarcastically. He didn't want to believe that the old man before him didn't actually know the situation that he was in before he finally got the system.
Since Nathan could actually locate him, there was no way that Benjamin could not locate Anne with all the resources that the family had.
Jack had come to realize this after he had done his investigation on the family. He found that even the Alfonso family, his supposedly family, actually had people that were part of the Jesda family.
Although they were of the lower status in the family, Jack would tell that in case they wanted to find someone, their low status didn't actually matter.
Benjamin could easily pick out the sarcasm in Jack's words. He took a deep breath and spoke, "I am sorry, but I was completely bound by the family rules. Although it pained me when everything that happened, happened, I had no choice."
"If possible, I really would have done something about it. But as a member of the family council, there was no way that I was going to interfere with something that was prohibited by the family rules."
Jack looked at him and snorted. "It seems that the family rules are more important to you guys than the lives of others."
"You actually knew about what was going to happen but you never made a move to stop it. What is more, it is a fact that you actually knew what Nathan had done but you never punished him. So, tell me, why are you being so insincere?"
Jack's anger began boiling again. He didn't like it the moment that Benjamin talked about the situation that his mother was in when the two of them were in the Alfonso family.
His mother had been living in the Alfonso family for over two decades. And yet, during all that time, Benjamin didn't make any move to help her out. But now, here he was, claiming that he was feeling remorseful about what had occurred.
Benjamin looked at Jack and stated after a while of silence, "There are many things that you don't know. If she wanted to leave, there would have been nobody who would have been capable of stopping her from doing that."
