Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

"Now, I don't want you to beat him up. Instead, all those that are going to join and work under me will receive a monthly salary of $30,000."

Jack's words immediately changed the previously tense and somber atmosphere around the warehouse.

"If you're not convinced about that, you can still come and receive a beating from me. I'm not done warming up yet." Jack said as he revealed a smile that gave the gangsters a shiver.

What he'd just said was true. He had just felt that his muscles had been stimulated, just like how people would feel like when they were doing exercises. And now, he could feel that he was far from getting tired. So, he didn't mind continuing for a little while to stretch his muscles to the limit.

Although he claimed to be the limit, he was still holding back his punches, otherwise, the group that had received his attack would have definitely been in a bad shape at this moment.

At this moment, big three knew that things weren't going the way that they were supposed to. He got alarmed. But, he still tried maintaining the calm expression on his face.

"Don't get deceived by him. The moment that you agree to this, as long as he gets what he wants, how can he guarantee that he will pay you the amount of money that he's promised you?" Big three said as he warily eyed Jack.

There was a certain period of silence as the goons were contemplating on what to do.

At this time, one of them took a step forward and said, "I agree to that. I'll join you!"

The others were stunned by this guy's decisiveness. They had never expected that he would agree to Jack's offer that easily.

"That's good. From now on, you will be the leader of those that will agree to work under me. Your salary has been increased to $50,000 a month." Jack said as he nodded his head in satisfaction.

He didn't view this guy as an easy person to sway, but a smart one. He could already tell from the current situation that they had no chance of winning at all. Jack on the other hand was offering a big and guaranteed salary.

In other words, he was not a simple person like they had thought he was. Someone that could afford to pay millions a month as salary to a group of gangsters, how could that person be simple?

Upon seeing the scene where one of them took a step forward, big three was enraged. He pointed his finger at that guy and said, "You idiot, once I'm done with this guy, I'll make sure to break your limbs!"

The guy looked at him and said, "What's the difference? Here, I can have guaranteed monthly payment. On the other hand, I sometimes get nothing at the end of the month as there's nothing to do. And for both sides, no matter where I choose, I'll end up beaten if things don't go as I had expected."

Big three: "…."

His words were like a wake up call to the others. If they didn't join Jack, they would end up beaten. On the other hand, if they joined Jack, they would still end up being beaten up as long as Jack lost in the fight.

But, now, it was just a matter of where they would benefit the most and where there were higher odds of winning. And at this moment, the high odds and benefits were all on Jack's side.

So, one by one, the gangsters began joining Jack's side until there was only about a dozen of them standing together with big three who was fuming at this moment.

He looked at the dozen or so goons that were standing behind him and thought, only these are the loyal ones. If I manage to get out of here, I surely will treat them well.

He had just finished thinking this way when suddenly, a heavy punch landed on his back. Not expecting to be attacked from the back, big three was forced to stagger forward.

He turned around and gazed at the group that was looking at him with hungry eyes. He shouted, "What the f*ck do you think you're doing? Aren't you supposed to stand with me?"

"I'm sorry big three. But, I don't remember saying that I'll stand with you in this. I simply stood here because I'm still trying to gain the $500,000 reward that was mentioned before." The guy with a red shirt spoke.

The ones behind him had the same thoughts as him. So, they also nodded before charging towards big three, all at the same time.

As for the ones that were standing behind Jack, they suddenly realized that they had just missed such a big opportunity. Although they wanted to make a move at this moment, they held themselves back as they didn't want to make Jack's impression on them to drop further.

Although he was attacked by over twelve men at the same time, big three still managed to knock down two men. But at the end of it all, he was just a single person and was being attacked by a whole group. So, in the end, he was forced onto his knees with several injuries on him.

"Boss, we've subdued him for you," the guy with the red shirt, the one that had initiated the attack looked at Jack as he said these words.

In return, Jack nodded in appreciation. Then, he said, "You've done a good work. And it seems that you're good at seizing opportunities. Had you done this earlier, I surely wouldn't have minded rewarding you with a million dollars."

The guy with the red shirt felt that he had just missed an even bigger opportunity. But still, he was still satisfied that he had gotten the small opportunity.

"But you still have a chance, just make him say who's the one that had given him the mission to disrupt the activities of my stores." Jack stated as he eyed big three who was now on his knees, with his head lowered.

Big three wasn't stupid. He knew that the situation wasn't in his favor at this moment. He knew that even if he had managed to beat the over twelve men that had attacked him, there were still others that were eyeing him, waiting for a chance to strike at him.

Although he was angry at this moment, he had to look for a way to get himself out of this situation first. Otherwise, there was no way that he was going to give the information about what had happened here to the leader of the gang.

The guy with the red shirt immediately threw a punch towards big three's head. And big three, who had been expecting that they would ask him the question first before taking action when he didn't answer was immediately forced to eat dirt.

"Didn't you f*cking hear what boss just asked? He said that you're supposed to tell him who gave you the stupid suicide mission!" The guy in red shirt yelled.

Jack could tell that this guy was kind of venting his anger on big three. Maybe big three had been suppressing him a lot in the past days. In any case, that didn't matter to him at the moment.

Big three used his hands to try and get his face from the ground. And feeling aggrieved, he asked, "A.. aren't you supposed to ask questions first before using the other methods to make me talk if I refuse?"

"I just felt like punching you again. Furthermore, have you gone deaf after receiving a beating? I think boss asked that question since the start." The guy replied as he twisted his fist in the air, as if he was ready to punch again.

Big three: "…."

He thought for a moment and decided to give the answers before getting himself out of here. As for this big three and the others that had betrayed him, he decided to forget about that for the moment.

The Jerks Brothers Gang was big and the over hundred men that he'd brought here weren't even half of the whole gang. So, as long as he left here, he could simply deal with these ingrates using the other gangsters.

"Alright I'll talk." Big three said before taking a deep breath. "To tell the truth, I myself don't know who was the one that sent the mission. Our leader was the one that talked with him over the phone and he may be the only one that knows him. As for the background, I can assume that it may be a member of the five big families or the Dante family."

Jack listened and thought things through. He then asked, "Are you sure that it wasn't Frank?"

Big three was surprised that Jack knew about Frank. But all the same, he shook his head and said, "He hired us. But later, someone else called our boss to make a bigger move. As for Frank, he came looking for us and asked us of the same thing. I can only guess that this is the action of two different people."

Jack's eyes narrowed. He decided that he would need to meet this leader of theirs so that he could know the other mastermind. All the same, it wasn't going to be hard to deal with Frank.

He was now richer than the Dante family. So, he was sure that he could block all the sources of income or resources for their companies by breaking the partnerships that they had formed.

But, he wasn't ready to make a move on the whole Dante family in respect to George. It seemed that he would have to look for another way of punishing Frank without influencing the whole family.

"Okay then, take me to that leader of yours. I will deal with him and the one that had given him the mission," Jack said.
