Hundred Times Income Multiplier System - Chapter 603: Taking Control (2)
“I’m here with a simple reason. I want to take over the ace group. I don’t know what payment you would like to receive an exchange for all the resources of the ace group and authority, including human resources and everything that is under the ace group.” Jack responded, going straight to the point to the reason why he came over.
Kim blinked his eyes as he looked at Jack, wondering if Jack was joking or not. Was this guy really serious or was he joking? Did he really know what he was asking for?
Was he just trying to take over the entire ace group? Was it that easy for him to be able to do so? The Ace group was the biggest force present in the entire Devin Stronghold. So, how was it possible that they were going to agree to give away everything just like that?
Additionally, he was asking for the price for everything? Did he really know about what was supposed to be paid for the ace group? The ace group was not here just as a simple group that was dominating a stronghold, but it was created with a reason and an aim.
So, no matter what price it was but Jack was willing to offer, there was definitely no way that the ace group was going to be given to him.
“You are joking, right?” Kim asked with a forced smile on his face. To say the truth, he was not willing to fight against Jack. Instead, he wanted to deal with him in the best way possible, a way that would not cause the ace group to suffer any losses.
That was the reason why he was not attacking Jack. At the same time, he was not sure about the background behind Jack. So, he had to be cautious. And after what Jack had just said, the cautiousness that he was having towards Jack just increased.
“Are you really serious? Are you trying to tell me that I came over here, going through all trouble along the way, just to come and make a joke with you? I really do have a lot of things that I would love to handle, rather than being here right now.” Jack responded with a serious expression on his face. It did not look like he was joking at all.
When Kim realized this, his expression became solemn. At the same time, he was wondering in his heart, wondering what made Jack think that they were the one causing him trouble. Wasn’t he the one who was forcing his way inside here?
Additionally, if he had other things to handle, why was he even here? He could have just gone ahead and handled whatever things he was having, rather than coming here and causing trouble.
“Okay. But I have to tell you now that no matter what, no matter the price that you are going to offer, the ace group is not for sale.” Kim stated with a serious expression.
At the same time, he released a bit of his aura, trying to make sure that Jack understood that it was not going to be simple for him to be able to gain what he wanted.
“Are you sure that this is what you want? If I really wanted, I could have destroyed the entire place, killing everybody that belongs to this group of yours. But that is not something that I want. What I want is to gain control over this group, because I have another aim and purpose that I’m about to carry in this stronghold.
If possible, I could have gone to another organization or family and taken it over. But you know, this group of us is the one that possesses the greatest influence over the entire stronghold. So, it is the best target for me.” Jack responded with a helpless expression on his face.
At the same time as he was speaking, he cursed the system in his mind. It was this system that had given him a mission like conquering an entire stronghold. Definitely, during the time that he was entering into the Stronghold domain, he had never had an aim of conquering an entire Stronghold.
It was true that he had the intention of creating an organization of his own that was going to be well known within the entire stronghold domain, but that did not imply that he had to take over an entire stronghold. Additionally, he was even given a time limit!
Kim’s expression changed when he heard that Jack was having some intention for this stronghold. This was definitely not something that he wanted.
The ace group was created with an aim, so, if another person came over with an aim over the entire Stronghold, that implied that the interests of both parties were going to clash against each other.
“If I may ask, what are your aims for this stronghold?” Before taking any action, Kim decided to know what it was that Jack was planning.
“I’m interested in controlling the entire stronghold here. That means that I have to hold the greatest power within the stronghold. And when I mean controlling the entire stronghold, I mean that I have to have absolute control over it, making all the decision for it.” Jack responded honestly, not hiding anything from Kim.
Kim’s expression turned ugly. The aim that Jack was having was to have absolute control over the entire Stronghold. That implied that Jack did not have any intention of letting any other force exist in this stronghold.
But if that was the case, that implied that the ace group was going to be disbanded, or taken over by Jack. But there was absolutely no way that the ace group was going to be disbanded or taken over by another person, unless the goal for the group was completed.
“If that is actually what you are intending to do, I’m sorry but our ace group will have to go against you. We cannot allow you to take over the entire stronghold.” Kim stated as he looked at Jack.
At this moment, he had decided that even if he was forced to fight against Jack, he was going to do it. It did not matter about the consequences, but no matter what, he had to make sure that Jack did not succeed in whatever it was that he was planning.
“Of course I already expected this because I know that your ace group has a purpose for being in this place. It has already been about 6 to 7 years since this group was created. It was not that easy for you to be able to take over the power of the Devin stronghold.” Jack stated nonchalantly, completely unaffected by what Kim had just said.
Kim’s eyes suddenly widened in surprise. He had not expected that Jack possessed information about the fact that the ace group was created with a reason. Of course, the information about the ace group being created about 6 years ago was not hidden, because that was something that all the forces present within the stronghold knew about it. .
Although he was surprised, Kim did not show much. He composed himself quickly, trying to make sure that he did not show anything to Jack. But that was definitely impossible.
At this moment, in Kim’s mind, he thought that perhaps Jack was just saying things randomly. Of course every group, organization or family had a goal of their own that they wanted to achieve.
The ace group was created several years ago, and at that time, the aim of the creation of the group was so that they could band together, and resist the oppression that came from the other big forces in the stronghold.
But it was obviously impossible for them to be able to progress, considering that the other forces in the stronghold would not allow another big force to suddenly emerge out of nowhere, and begin competing with them.
Due to that, the ace group was completely suppressed. But nevertheless, due to the support that they received, they managed to create the group, receiving resources secretly.
Of course those other forces in the stronghold thought that by trying to make sure that the ace group did not receive resources was going to be able to deal with this group. But as time went on, they realized that the group still survived.
Additionally, the power levels of the members of the ace group was continuously increasing. And by the time that they took everything seriously, the ace group had already matured. At the same time, the Force organization had already sent a person over, someone that came over and stabilized the position of the ace group.
Although the other families and organizations present in the stronghold were reluctant, they did not have a choice but to retreat. So, until now, it was the ace group that was controlling the stronghold, but of course, they did not gain full control over the stronghold.
That was something that was impossible considering that the other families and organizations would not agree to that. They might agree that the ace group possessed the most influence in the stronghold, but when it came to controlling the entire stronghold, that was something that they would fight against each other to the death.
How was it possible that all those families and organizations that had already gotten used to holding superior positions agreed to work and another force? That was impossible.
Just as Kim thought that Jack was simply guessing things, Jack spoke once again. “I know that the ace group was created by the force organization. That is something that cannot be hidden from me. As for the aim of the creation of your group, I don’t think I have to say it loud, right?”
