Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 38 Is It Fate?



"I saw that you were having a good time here. So, I decided to join you guys, what do you think?" As he spoke, Ben made his way to them and sat on a chair that had been vacated by one of the youths.

Jack could see that the mood wasn't that good as soon as this person arrived. From their expressions, Jack already guessed that the relationship between them wasn't that good. But what he knew was that, if there was a person that could make these five people frown, then that person must have a background that supported him.

"Oh, I see that you have another friend that has already joined your circle." Ben said as he looked at Jack. But from this gaze, Jack could already see that this person was looking down on him.

He frowned. This person must have come here to cause problems. And from the way that he was gazing at him, he was sure that he was going to try using him and find a way to cause trouble.

But one question remained lingering in his mind, who on earth was this youth that had come to cause trouble for the young masters of the big five of Inchoate city?

As if sensing what Jack was thinking, William, who was sitting on Jack's left whispered to him, "That is Benson Tawal, the young master of Tawal family of blue city. His family is the Overlord of blue City. Although the blue city is on the same level as Inchoate City, their family assets are slightly lower than the Dante family."

"But, this level is already higher as compared to us. But once he comes to Inchoate City, he obviously doesn't have that much of an influence. So, the only way that he can use to suppress us is in racing. Nobody in the younger generation of our city can defeat him."

​ Jack was quite surprised after hearing about the young man's background. He couldn't hold himself back anymore and asked, "Is he that amazing?"

"Of course, he is. But that only applies to amateurs like us. For a professional like you, he definitely cannot compare." William chuckled as he replied.

At this time, Ben, who was arguing with the others turned his attention back to Jack. He then arrogantly spoke, "Guys, you haven't introduced me to this friend of yours that has recently joined your circle. I am pretty sure that whoever joins your circle must have capabilities, am I right?"

When William heard this, although he frowned for a moment, his expression relaxed the next moment. With a sly smile, he spoke, "Young master Ben surely knows us too well. He's Jack. And of course he has abilities that not even you can compare to."

Ben, who was smiling smugly just a moment ago, frowned when he heard William's words. He gave Jack a scrutinizing gaze before shifting his attention back to William and asked, "Can you please enlighten me on what he does best?"

From this, it showed that he didn't put Jack in his eyes at all. In other words, he thought that Jack wasn't worthy enough to speak to him.

This time, William didn't reply as he looked at Jack for confirmation. In reply, Jack simply shrugged his shoulders to show that he didn't mind. It wasn't like William had any kind of information that could hurt him.

Upon receiving Jack's consent, William stared at Ben with a teasing smile. "Don't you always feel proud that you are good at racing? Now, even our own city has its own master in racing. And, I can assure you that you are not his match."

When Ben heard these words, he frowned for a moment before chuckling. If it were not for the fact that they were in an ongoing banquet, he would have surely laughed loudly.

He gazed at Jack contemptuously before sneering, "Him? There's no one in the surrounding cities that can match me in terms of racing. Not even in Crystal City."

Anderson and the others shook their heads in pity. They themselves had experienced Jack's driving skills. As compared to Ben's, Jack's level was like heaven while Ben's was like mud.

Seeing their expressions, Ben frowned and said, "Why don't we have a competition tonight? We can decide on the stake after the banquet is over."

When they heard his words, Anderson alongside those that had been present during the race or had seen the replay in the internet smiled. At the same time, they thought to themselves, 'Here comes a chance to earn big.'

Jack on the other hand frowned a little. From the way things were, it seems that this guy would not stop pestering him until he had been proven to be inferior when it comes to racing.

At the same time, he thought of the 10 million that he had earned the previous time he raced. He then thought to himself, this might actually be a good chance for him to gain more money that could be used for investment.

Currently, the money that came from the grocery department could already ensure the stability of the grocery department in the city. But, when Jackson Enterprise was involved, this was actually a very tiny amount of money.

So he thought to himself, why not compete and earn a few more dollars that could be used in developing the Enterprise?

With that thought in mind, he agreed to Ben's words. When he saw that Jack had agreed, Ben sneered even more.

Just as the group was about to continue chatting, their attention was captured by the performance on the stage. On this day, they had invited a famous singer. He was an RnB popular star.

His name was Josh. He had already released several albums and he was well-known in the internet and had millions of fans. For him to be present here, it could already show the power of the host of the event. After all, inviting such a big shot in the entertainment industry not only required money, but also needed reputation and connections.

After all, celebrities were always busy with this or that. For them to make time in their busy schedule would need a person that had more than money to get them to reschedule.

Jack was also an RnB lover, so, he shifted his attention to the performance on the stage while ignoring whatever Ben was going to say next.

The songs that Josh chose for the occasion were not only entertaining, but were also very well matched with today's set up. From this, one could already see that Josh was a person that had attended several banquets that involved big shots.

But, this was to be expected as he was currently a big celebrity in the music industry. The songs that he sang were not only according to the morals that most of the people liked, but also had some of the lessons that could be learnt from.

This was the exact reason as to why although there were several old men or middle-aged men and women present, none of them complained about the choice of the artist. But even so, who would dare to complain about the host's choices?

After the performance, food was served. The delicious smell that was emitted by the food immediately made their stomachs of some of the guests present to grumble a little.

Although some of them had already eaten before they came here, they could not resist the temptation of such a delicious meal.

From the food, one could already see that the hotel's kitchen staff had put in more effort when preparing this meal. Even the way that it was served, was an indication of both art and skills. This was truly a definition of a 5-star hotel.

There was seafood like, Cioppino, Crab cakes, Oysters Rockefeller and Clam chowder. As for the other types of foods, there were several foods that were made from chicken, meat or pork. Salad and vegetables were also served.

There are several other types of foods that a person could think of including different types of drinks.

During this period of time, people would serve themselves. No, to be precise about it, it was that they would eat what they chose. There were waiters who were doing the serving. One just had to mention what he or she wanted and the food would be served and brought to them.

When it came to meals, Jack was not a gentleman at all. He ate according to what he liked or what had impressed him. He had never tested several of the foods that were present here before so he decided to take this chance and test some of them.

But of course, he wouldn't dare to mix some of the foods that would end up messing up his stomach. Furthermore, he knew his own limit and didn't dare to embarrass himself in front of all of these people present. After all, if it was just about food, he could come back to the hotel and get more.

During the meal, he sat alongside William and the rest. Ben had already left and was somewhere looking for girls to hook up with them. That's the life of a playboy like him. After all, his family dominated blue city. As a result, he ended up being arrogant and got used to getting what he wanted.

But here he was much more restrained because not only was this not his home ground, but the host of the banquet was a big shot with a big background.

When they were eating, they gradually began discussing about what they would get from Ben after he lost the bet. According to them this was a sure bet.

During the meal, Jack was looking around casually when his gaze froze for a moment, as he stared at a figure close to the door that led to the stage. Although he had only seen her two times, he could still remember her figure.

Looking at that back that was facing him, Jack was once again entranced. He then wondered to himself, was it fate that was bringing them together or was it just a coincidence that they were meeting again and again.

As if sensing his gaze, the lady turned around and stare directly into his eyes. And just like that, the duo stared at each other, each one of them having their own thoughts running in their minds.
