As Jack left the experts to deal with the production, he left with Denali and headed back to the hotel to have their lunch. Immediately after that, he headed towards Serenity Residential Area.r

The residential area was located about 30 minutes drive from the hotel that he had been staying with Denali.r

When they got there, Jack looked at the surroundings in surprise. This area didn't have many buildings. In fact, it was about two kilometers from the busy roads of the city.r

This place had a good level of security. The moment that they arrived here, they were stopped by a guard.r

"Yes, are you here to buy a villa?" The guard asked.r

"Not really. We're here to see the management." Denali replied.r

"That's going to be tough because you'll have to inform them about it first. This is a high end residential area. So, there's no way that strangers can be allowed in unless they are allowed by the management or one of the person living here." The guard said.r

This was the policy that had only been enacted recently. So, the guard knew that many people would definitely be against the part that one had to say in advance if he wanted to buy a villa.r

Jack could tell that this guy wasn't bad. Had it been another person, looking at the Lamborghini that was worth a few hundred thousand dollars, he would have definitely chased them away. After all, even the cheapest villa here cost about two million dollars to buy it.r

Most of the people that came here had cars that were worth at least a million dollars. As such, they were allowed entry to the residence management office. But, others were definitely not allowed in because, they were definitely not there to buy a villa, but to stroll around and take pictures.r

"Can you tell the person in charge that Jack is here?" Jack asked.r

Although he was suspicious of whether Jack's name would make any change, he still decided to make a call to the management office.r

"Hello, Mr Shonzu, there is someone called Jack here who claims that he's here to visit the management office." The guard spoke humbly.r

"Jack? Never heard of him. What car is he driving?" Shonzu asked.r

"Well, it should be a Lamborghini…" The guard replied.r

The moment that Shonzu heard that Jack was here in a Lamborghini, he was excited. He immediately interrupted the guard, "I'll be there in a minute! Tell him that I'll be receiving him personally."r

Immediately after saying that, he hang up and ended the call before he rushed out of the office. Seeing the excited Shonzu, the people in the management office were surprised to see him rushing out. They hadn't expected that they would see him this excited.r

Now, they were curious about what had made him this agitated. But, they dared not to ask him this question as they knew how he usually behaved. He would definitely scold them and may end up reducing their salary.r

Shonzu was a person with a slim stature. He had a small moustache and, the way that his eyes were, could already give someone a picture of a shrewd person.r

As he rushed out of the residence management office, he thought, 'This is yet another opportunity. I just hope that this guy is rich. Otherwise, how am I going to benefit? Whatever, even if he's not that rich, I can simply get benefits from him as long as he buys a villa here.'r

….r

The guard didn't know what was up with Shonzu and what had made him so agitated. All the same, he couldn't help but change the way that he was looking at Jack.r

It seemed that Shonzu knew them. And if that was so, they must be influential. He thought that it was good that he hadn't treated them coldly just because they had a car that was worth a few hundred thousand dollars.r

He smiled at Jack and said, "The assistant manager has said that he's going to receive you personally within a minute."r

Jack nodded before deciding to wait. Although he had seen the images of this serenity residential area, he had yet to enter. Neither had Denali been here as she was busy with the other two companies, more so Brightway Medical Research Centre.r

About a minute later, Jack saw a thin man in a suit rushing out from the residential area. The man looked around as if he was looking for something. And after looking for a while, he walked towards the guard and asked coldly, "Has the person left already?"r

Guard: "…."r

Jack: "…."r

Denali: "…."r

The three of them were completely unsure on how to react on this person's question. Jack could already tell that this guy was Shonzu as he had already seen his image when he read his information back in venture city.r

"Eh, Mr Shonzu…" Even before the guard could complete whatever he was saying, Shonzu interrupted again.r

"I told you to tell him that I would be here in a minute. But, I have arrived in about fifty seconds but he has already left? You are incompetent in your work, your salary this month will be reduced by ⅓." Shonzu spoke angrily.r

He had been looking forward to getting to meet a rich man so that he could benefit from it. In the end, he found that there was no rich man at all. He had already left! He was so angry that he wanted to strangle this guard.r

"Actually, Mr Shonzu…." The guard wanted to say that the person hadn't left and was just in the car beside him.r

But, he was interrupted by the angry Shonzu, "What? You want to say that it wasn't your fault? Okay then. Since it wasn't your fault, it was my fault. To relieve you from the burden of taking responsibility, you'll only receive half of your salary this month!"r

The guard couldn't help but get angry at this guy. What had he done in that his salary had already been slashed by a half? Had it not been for the fact that he was in need of the job, he would definitely have quit at this moment and beat up this sharp mouthed guy.r

At this moment, Shonzu seemed to notice that the car that Jack was in wasn't leaving. He frowned and looked at the guard before he began reprimanding again, "What are you doing here? Can't you see that someone is blocking the entrance of the residential area? Since you're not serious with your duty, you won't receive any bonus this month!"r

Before the guard could say another word, Shonzu pointed at the car and said, "Chase this car away from here. How can such a crappy car stop in front of the gates of the residential area?"r

The guard became flustered. In just a single minute, his salary had been deducted by half and all the bonus that he was supposed to receive this month had all been cancelled. How could he not be angry?r

But, swallowing his anger, he looked at Jack and said, "I'm sorry Mr Jack, but it seems that you'll have to leave."r

Jack was already fuming at this moment. Although he had found that this guy was using the villas to his advantage, he hadn't expected that his character was this way. No wonder only a few villas had been sold till now.r

The way that this guy was speaking and acting, simply deducting the employees' salary in anything that made him unhappy, was something that Jack didn't like at all.r

This guy called Shonzu was definitely unfit for the position that he was holding. He was now wondering who was the one that had given him this post.r

Furthermore, where the heck was Moses? He was the manager here but, Jack couldn't see anything that he was doing. It was like he wasn't in control at all. Although according to his file he was an honest man, he was incompetent in Jack's eyes.r

To let an assistant manager take over and bully the employees, chase away potential clients and so on. This was definitely something that the manager should have heard about, no matter what.r

Jack stepped out of the car and said coldly, "I'm the one that asked him to make the call."r

Shonzu was stunned for a moment. He gazed at Jack up and down before looking at the car that he had just alighted from. He looked at the guard and pointed at Jack before shouting, "What the f*ck is this?! You told me that there was someone with a Lamborghini here. Where is it? Was this the guy driving a Lamborghini?"r

"Mr Shonzu, he's driving a Lamborghini Urus." The guard pointed at the logo on the car.r

Shonzu looked at it. He was silent for a moment before he began retorting again. "You call this a Lamborghini? This is an Urus, not a Lamborghini! The Lamborghini that I know is a Lamborghini Veneno!"r

It wasn't just the angry Jack, but even the guard and Denali were stunned. Wasn't this car made by Lamborghini? How was it not a Lamborghini? Just because it wasn't worth a million dollars?r

"Hey, get the hell out of here now! You are fired!" Shonzu pointed at the guard. Then, he turned at Jack and pointed at him as he said, "As for you, better get lost from here before I call the police that you are disturbing busi..Aargh!"r

He wasn't able to finish his words before he screamed in pain. At this moment, Denali had already gotten out of the car and held the hand whose finger was pointing at Jack and twisted it.r

"You think that you can shout at my boss? Do you think that you're qualified to do that?" Denali asked coldly. She had already been angry the first time that Shonzu pointed fingers at Jack. So, she couldn't stand it the time that he tried doing that the second time.r

The guard looked from the side. He was completely surprised at the moment as he stared at Denali who was now standing behind Jack.r

He had simply seen a shadow rushing out of the car before Shonzu began screaming in pain as he fell on the ground, holding his right hand.r

He was now wondering whether or not to go ahead and protect Shonzu from further abuse. But, when he thought about how he had suffered as well as how he couldn't even follow Denali's moves, he decided against it.r

As for how he was going to get himself away from getting involved was simple, 'I have already been fired. I don't think that I have any responsibility here.'r

Had it been another time, he wouldn't be proud about that. But now that things were like this, he could proudly say that he had been fired.r
