Chapter 253 Johnathan's Grievances
After leaving the alleyway, Jack and Celine went back to the villa in the Serenity residential area.
Since the two of them had engaged in a fight for a good period of time, they were exhausted. Even though the body strengthening solution could help them recover their physical energy, the same could not be said about the mental energy.
Their mental energy was depleted and needed some time of rest so that it could be recovered. But of course, The one that needed the most time to rest was Celine.
As compared to Jack, her mental capacity was far lower as compared to his. With the help of the system, Jack had managed to have a higher mental capacity due to the ability of the system to fuse several skills and abilities into his mind.
With each skill or ability that he gained from the system, the system enabled him to be able to have a higher mental capacity, so that he could accommodate the new skills that he had received.
After taking a shower, Jack was resting in his room, focusing on his next task. The next task that he was going to take care of was that concerning the lackeys that were involved with Collins.
The one month timeline had already ended but they had not yet fulfilled the part that they were supposed to. This was something that Jack considered unacceptable because, since they dare to make a move on his loved one, then they had to pay a considerable price.
Although he had given them an ultimatum, he had never expected that they were going to fulfill it. And as such, taking over all of their property was still less than enough to compensate the trauma that Celine had gone through on that night.
But since that was all that they had, Then Jack had no choice but to take it away. That was the only form of compensation that he could get from them. As for their broken limbs, that was just a piece of punishment that they had received for holding Celine on the ground.
But, as this moved on, Jack had come to think that whatever punishment he was giving them was not enough. And as a result, He had decided that they were going to face the same punishment as Collins did.
He was going to make sure that all of them went to prison. Since they had the heart to help Collins in whatever he was doing, then, who could say that they were not going to do that to another person?
He had already been doing his research since over a week ago. And now that the month was already in progress, it was finally time for him to unleash the punishment that he had in store for them.
Just as Jack was continuing with whatever he was doing, his phone rang. Jack took a look at it and found that it was Jonathan was calling him.
Although he wasn\'t sure why Jonathan was calling him at this time, he received the call nonetheless.
"What is it? You should know that it is already night time. At such a period of time, people are supposed to be sleeping. So why are you disturbing my night with a call?" Jack asked the moment that he received the call.
"Jack, when the hell are you going to come and see my mother?" Jonathan asked through the phone.
"No need for you to yell. I\'ll be coming there tomorrow." Jack replied in an irritated tone.
He remembered that he had talked to Anita at one period of time when Jonathan had been cornered by his mother to inform her about his whereabouts for the period of one year that he had disappeared from home.
At that time, he had promised Anita that he would pay her a visit in person, rather than speaking to her on the phone.
Although his initial plan was that, as long as he was strong enough so that he could take care of the whole Jesda family, he would pay them a visit so that he could make those who are involved in anything that concerned his mother\'s death paid.
But since Jonathan had disrupted his plans, Jack thought that it wasn\'t bad he called make a visit at this moment.
Even though it was true that his current assets could not compare with those that were owned by the Jesda family, the same could not be said about his abilities.
At this moment, as long as he wanted the Jesda family to be bankrupt, there was nothing that could stop him.
Additionally, he currently possessed three skills slots that he could utilize, so that he could gain skills that he wanted or needed.
Just his computer master was enough to make the whole just a family take a lot of damage.
"That\'s good to hear. At what time will you be arriving? No! In fact, I\'ll be coming to pick you up the first thing tomorrow morning. In this way, there\'s no way that you\'re going to forget about coming here even if you want to." Jonathan replied enthusiastically.
Jack on the other hand will stand by Jonathan\'s words. He was wondering what the reason behind Jonathan\'s agitation was.
\'Could it be that there\'s something that has happened to his mother?\' Jack questioned himself.
There was nothing else that he could think of other than that. It was not easy for Jonathan to be this easily agitated, especially for something as simple as him paying his mother a visit.
After exchanging a few words, Jack finally ended the call between the two of them. With that, he proceeded with organizing what he was going to do in the following days.
As for the matters concerning Olivia or the death of Brandon who was a police officer, that was something that he didn\'t care about.
Not to mention the fact that Brandon was the one who was at fault, He himself was currently a major. He had a badge that proved that he was part of the military.
And as such, for a police officer to suddenly shoot him, this was nothing less than treason. At the end of the day, Jack was not committing a crime. And as a pillar of the country\'s security, him being killed by a bullet was a loss to the country.
On the following morning, the moment that Jack opened his eyes, he was stunned when he heard the sound that was coming out from the living room that was downstairs.
Of course, this was the sound of Jonathan who was chattering around like a sewing machine. Jack could absolutely not believe that Jonathan was here as early as 6:00 in the morning.
Shaking his head, he proceeded to refresh himself before he headed downstairs.
He found that the guy was busy taking breakfast. He was eating happily as if he was in his own house.
"What the heck do you think you\'re doing here this early in the morning?" Jack question the moment that he arrived in front of Jonathan.
Celine was seated on one of the chairs in the dining room as she waited for him to come downstairs so that they could have breakfast together.
It seemed that it was Jonathan who was impatient, and had decided to start eating before even the owners of the house began.
"Why are you asking some useless questions when you already know the answer? You should know by now that I\'m here to pick you up." Jonathan responded before he continued eating.
"It is not like I don\'t know where the Jesda family manor is located. What\'s more, why are you eating like a person who has been starving for several days." Jack retorted as he took a seat next to Celine.
"My mother denied me food yesterday night." Jonathan grumbled.
With raised brows, Jack asked curiously, "What could it be that you have done so that she decided to deny you food?"
"Of course this is all related to you. She kept on telling me to tell you to come and pay her a visit. But all this while, you have been ignoring me."
"I tried several times telling you that my mother needed to see you as soon as possible. And in the end, You always turned me down claiming that you were busy with something. This time, I\'m not leaving not unless I leave here with you." Jonathan stated as he looked at Jack with begrudged look.
He was actually blaming Jack for all the sufferings that he had undergone. It was not that he had been denied food by his mother during the previous night only. But instead, she had always been doing this since the first time that Jack denied going back to see Anita.
It is not that Jonathan could not go out to eat. It was just that, it was a completely different feeling eating his mother\'s cooked food and eating the one that was cooked in the restaurants or hotels.
"You\'re talking as if I cannot kick you out of here if you don\'t want to get out yourself." Jack snorted. Then he continued, "Additionally, you actually have the guts to blame me, when you are the one who introduced me to your mother before the time that I had planned to visit her."
"…."
Jonathan was rendered speechless for a moment as he didn\'t know what to reply to Jack\'s words. Whatever Jack had stated was actually true.
Jack had the ability to kick him out of the house just by depending on his current strength. Additionally, he was the one who let Anita know about Jack\'s existence even though Jack had not had planned to reveal himself to her just yet.
"Humph!" In the end, Jonathan could only snort as he looked at the side.
Celine who had been watching the two squabble from the sides could not help but chuckle at Jonathan\'s reaction.
"My Jack is good at almost everything. Even when it comes to the word of mouth, it seems." She stated as she looked at Jonathan amusedly.
Jonathan\'s expression darkened at he looked at Celine. He then went ahead and complained, "How can you claim that you are brother-in-law is inferior?"
"Do you expect her to claim that her husband is inferior when the brother-in-law just lost?" Jack retorted on the side as he began eating his breakfast.
