Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 272 We're All Civilized People



When Nathan woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. He couldn't help but panic when he remembered what had happened before he lost his consciousness.

He could tell from the fact that he was lying on the floor at the moment that, he wasn't saved but was in the hands of Jack.

He hurriedly got to his feet as he looked around the place that he was in. He found that he was in an empty warehouse. The warehouse seemed to be old and there was dust almost everywhere he looked around.

Even his clothes, the prisoner overall, it had been dirtied by the dust as he was lying on the ground.

Knowing that he wasn't in a place where he had any advantages, Nathan looked around, intending to see if there was a chance that he could seize so that he could get out of here.

"It seems that you have had a nightmare looking at the way that you are looking around vigilantly." A voice echoed in the empty warehouse as Jack walked in.

He had been waiting for Nathan to wake up by himself. During the time that he was unconscious, Jack had utilized that opportunity to deal with the car.

Since he found that the car was useful in the situation such as the one that he had encountered when he went over to get Nathan, then, he had to at least be prepared.

Since the car was damaged, he had to do some repairs on it. Although the damage at that moment couldn't be considered something big, there was a fact that, the damage would lead to a bigger problem if left unsolved.

He looked at Nathan who was looking back at him. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes that he didn't even bother to hide from Nathan.

Since the two of them were enemies, there was no need for him to play good with him.

Nathan took a step backwards when he met Jack's eyes. He was scared. And, he was scared by a small boy, whose mother was even younger than him.

Just thinking of this made Nathan furious. It was not only at Jack, but at himself as well. How could he let himself be intimidated that easily?

"Jack, you better think twice about what you're about to do. Once the two of us fall out, there is no coming back." Nathan spoke through his gritted teeth.

Currently, he knew all too well that he was at a disadvantageous position. So, even if he was not going to buy his way out of the situation so that he could make a comeback in the future, then he had to make sure that he bought enough time, so that, that person could find him.

He was sure that that person was going to find him, no matter what happened. At the end of the day, Nathan had what that person wanted the most.

Had it not been for this fact, not to mention having that person send his people to come over and rescue him, that person wouldn't even want to meet him.

"What is there for us to fall apart now? I thought we already fell out the moment that you had a hand in the murder of my mother. That was the day that you decided that our relationship doesn't matter at all." Jack sneered as he continued approaching Nathan.

Since things were not going to play the way that he wanted, Nathan decided that it was time to change the tactics.

He looked at Jack with his eyes cold. He then said, "Now, it doesn't matter if our relationship exists or not. What I want to inform you is that, it doesn't matter if I am your friend or your enemy, but you will have to let me go."

"Is that so? Why don't you enlighten me on the reason as to why I am supposed to let you go?" Jack asked. Although he could already guess what Nathan was going to say next, he wouldn't mind getting more information about what he was supposed to deal with in the future.

Upon seeing that Jack was not making any more moves, Nathan thought that Jack was finally intimidated. So, his courage was boosted as he continued. "Just in case anything happens to me, you will have to know that, you will be hunted for the rest of your life. It doesn't matter if you run from this country to another, or from this continent to another. At the end of it all, they will still get you."

As he spoke, Nathan's eyes shone with great intense. He had admiration in his eyes as he thought of the people that he was talking about. The people that were not considered normal, people who were beyond the limits that bound the normal human beings.

"I myself I'm considered something important to them. This was the reason as to why they had decided to come over and save me. And since you dared to interrupt their plans, they are going to make sure that you pay for that." Nathan continued rumbling about this and that, about how that person was backing him up was strong beyond strong.

When he was given a threat, Jack didn't say a word and immediately moved. His speed was so fast that, Nathan who was still talking about how they were going to find Jack, find those that he loved, make sure that he suffered more than he thought possible, was suddenly grabbed by the neck and was forced to stop speaking.

Nathan's pupils contracted as he was greatly surprised that he was actually easily subdued by Jack. One had to remember that, Nathan wasn't actually bound in the presence of Jack.

He had Initially thought that he could actually try competing with Jack in terms of strength and wit, so that he could find a chance of getting out of here.

But he had never expected that, Jack was more than seven times as strong than a normal human.

Nathan used his hands as he tried to pry the hand that was grabbing his neck open. But no matter what he did, not to mention removing Jack's hand, there wasn't even a shake in Jack's posture.

Jack looked his eyes with Nathan's. Then, word by word, he uttered, "You can do whatever you want, you can see whatever you want, but, you should know your limits. Nobody dares to mention those that I love."

"I hope that you don't forget that your current situation is caused by the fact that you dared to lay a finger on a person that I love. Perhaps, had you not done that, you might still be there rich and mighty member of the Jesda family."

After saying that, Jack didn't allow Nathan to say a word. He threw him away as if he was throwing a piece of garbage.

Although it was only a small part of his strength that was used, Nathan was still flung away. When he landed on the ground, he landed with one of his hands landing fast. And as a result, it was dislocated by the wrist.

"Aaah!"

Nathan screamed in pain. This was the first time that he was experiencing pain of this magnitude. He had never expected that he would actually find himself in such a situation one day.

The other times, he was the one who was looking at others as they crawled on the ground, screaming in pain as they looked at him in fear.

That was the life that he was used to. But now, facing the pain, He really felt like killing himself just so that he could relieve himself from this pain.

But just thinking about the benefits that were going to come, as long as he was rescued from this place, away from Jack, he greeted his teeth as he endured the pain.

Hatred was burning in his eyes, as he looked at Jack. He was thinking that, as long as he managed to get out of here, he would make sure that Jack paid a heavy price for the humiliation that he had made him experience at this moment.

But, that was just if, it wasn't a sure bit that he could actually survive until the people that were supposed to be sent over arrived.

Jack didn't say another word again. He approached Nathan slowly. He didn't want to do things fast, as he wanted Nathan to pay for what he did to the maximum possible.

That meant that, Nathan did not only have to experience the physical pain, but the mental torture as well.

Unlike Marion who had to see her daughter murdered in front of her, Jack wasn't going to involve a person who wasn't involved in terms of murder.

Although he would really have wanted to add Arthur to the equation, all that Arthur did was to try to force Celine into being his girl. But, had he decided that he wanted to do something extreme, Jack would definitely not have spared him.

As he watched as Jack approached, Nathan's eyes widened in horror. Just a casual throw from Jack had made him experience such kind of pain, then what was going to come next?

Just thinking of this made Nathan panicked. "Let's talk about this, shall we? We are all civilized people. There's no need for us to be brutes." Nathan hurriedly said.

"But I don't mind being called a brute. Because that is maybe what I am. After all, I am strong." Jack stated.

"If that is the case, I would like to test that strength of yours." As soon as Jack finished speaking, a voice came from the entrance of the warehouse.
