Hundred Times Income Multiplier System - Chapter 591: Thank You Dad!
After Jack arrived in the living room, he focused on the person that he was here to see. Looking at the man, he could tell that this person was definitely quite strong. Additionally, looking at the way that he was sitting, it was filled with authority, implying that he had been in a position of power for quite some time now.
But there was something that attracted Jack’s attention, and that was the fact that the features of this man, together with the lady that was leading him Into this place definitely represented someone that he needed to deal with.
And other than that, Jack received a prompt from the system, informing him of the power level of the people present inside the room.
[The man is at level 9 of the superhuman level. The lady is at level 9 of the superhuman level. The young lady is at the 10-star of the ordinary human level.]
It was only after the appearance of the system prompt that finally, Jack shifted his attention from the man, and focused on the other people present in the room. Of course, he was not surprised by the presence of Sylvia considering that this was her family.
But the one that surprised him with her presence here was definitely Alicia. He had not expected that she was going to be here. At the end of the day, it was not as if he knew where she was located, in which Stronghold she was in, and neither did he know the family that she belonged to.
And right now, looking at her, he could see that she was completely surprised with his presence here. It was clear that she was not expecting that he was going to be here.
But that was something else that he noticed in her eyes as she looked at him. Instead of the fear that she was supposed to be having, at this moment, she was actually quite excited with his presence here.
Jack immediately understood that this guy had not given up on her observation over him. But at the same time, a cold glint flashed in his eyes the moment that he remembered what she had done during the time that she had come to the normal world.
After he was done with what had brought him here, he had to deal with this lady. After all, she had almost made the relationship between him and Celine collapsed.
That was something that he was not going to agree to let go just like that, considering that not only was she trying to damage the relationship between the two of them, but she had gone to the extent that she had been controlling Celine.
Completely ignoring her, Jack went ahead and arrived not far away from where Wade was located. Wade on the other hand had already gained his composure. He had been scrutinizing Jack ever since the moment that he entered the room.
With the confidence that Jack possessed in front of a person like him, it seemed that this guy was from a big family or background. And the reaction of the two ladies here also indicated that they knew who he was.
But that was something that he did not understand. How was it possible that the two of them actually knew who he was, while at the same time, he did not know anything about this young man.
And other than that, Sylvia had just come back about a week ago. So, unless they had interacted with this young man inside the stronghold, that implied that they had met with this young man outside of the stronghold. But how was it possible that he had met with Alicia, considering that Alicia was not someone that went out of the stronghold that easily?
It was just for a moment, but suddenly, Wade thought of something. His wife had been doing investigation about a person. And according to the information that he had received, it seemed that this person was somehow related to Alicia. Could it be that this was the young man that Ruth was looking for information about?
“Please have a seat Jack.” Wade stated as he pointed to one of the couches that was present within the room.
“Thank you.” Jack stated simply before he took a seat. After that, he looked at Wade, waiting for him to finally focus on the matter about him. Just looking at the expression on his face, it was clear that this girl was not ready to discuss about anything.
But even before Wade could focus on the matter about Jack, Alicia rushed to her father and hugged him. Then, she looked at Jack as she stated in an obsessed tone, “Father, I did not expect that you were actually going to get him to come over here. Thank you so much for considering me. Have you already canceled the engagement between me and that David? Were you just joking around with me when you were saying that you were not capable of making a decision on this matter?”
Alicia’s words and actions completely stunned Wade and Sylvia. None of them had expected that she was going to react in this way. At the same time, Sylvia was also surprised that there actually existed a relationship between Alicia and Jack.
As for Wade, he finally understood why Alicia was having such a reaction the moment that Jack stepped into the room. It turned out that the reason why she had come to talk to him about the marriage was due to the presence of this young man.
Ruth on the other hand did not say anything, and neither did she react with the reaction that her daughter was having. Alicia had already described to her the appearance that Jack possessed. .
So the moment that he came over, she suspected that he was the one that Alicia was talking about. It was just that she was not sure about it, and that was the reason why she did not say anything about it.
Moreover, she did not react that much in the presence of Jack. She was not sure who he was, so unless she confirmed about his identity, she was not going to say anything that was not related to the reason why Jack was here.
But now, looking at Alicia, it was very clear that this was the same Jack that she had been talking about all along. And to say the truth, even Ruth was impressed with Jack. But, the only thing that remained to prove was whether he possessed the power level that she had claimed that he possessed, and whether his background was also big or not.
Although she did not have much of a doubt about the power level that this young man possessed, considering that even James, Alicia’s protector had said the same thing, but what she wanted to know was the background that Jack possessed.
Even if he was a person that did not possess a big background, she wouldn’t mind having him join the family. It might be true that he might not be that useful right now, but in the future, once he matured, he would be very important in the family considering that he would be able to reach a very high power level.
“Alicia, can you behave yourself?” With a slight frown on his face, Wade stated as he tried to push away Alicia from his embrace.
Alicia was just about to say something when she heard her father. Immediately after that, she realized that she had been reacting so explosively. So, she composed herself, and with a blush on her face, she went ahead and sat next to her father.
After noticing that Alicia had finally calmed down, although not fully, Wade took a deep breath and stated, “I’m not really sure about what it is that you are talking about, but this is the first time that I’m meeting with Jack. So, in case you are having an idea that I am the one who asked him to come over, you are wrong about it. He is the one that came to look for me, not the other way round.”
“Huh?” Alicia was dumbfounded when she heard what her father had said. This was definitely not something that she had been expecting. It was actually Jack who came over, and not her father who had gone to look for him?
She looked towards Jack, and he realized that Jack was completely ignoring her presence here. So, she was not sure what he was thinking about her. Was he here because he wanted to have them to get married, or was he here because he wanted to gain revenge on her?
After all, the last time that they had met, he had said that the next time that they met, he was going to make sure that she paid for what she had done back then.
“I’m sorry about that.” Wade stated with an apologetic smile on his face as he looked at Jack.
“There’s no problem about that.” Jack waved his hand, not caring much about the reaction that Alicia was having. At the end of the day, he was going to deal with her after he was done with the reason why he was here.
“So, do you mind telling me the reason why you came to see me?” Wade asked, going straight to the point. Although he was curious about the identity of Jack, he decided that he was going to ask the two ladies present in the room who reacted the moment that Jack came over, later on after Jack had left.
“I’m here for a simple trade. I’m going to give you something important, something that I’m sure that you’ll find interesting, but I’ll need information from you.” Jack responded, also going straight to the point.
