Chapter 566

"I know you're the real decision-maker here. One nod from you, and this fortune is yours," Kyle said.

Jack shook his head. "Even if I wanted to sell, that offer isn't enough. Haven is worth tens of billions of dollars now."

"Tens of billions of dollars?"

Kyle's smile vanished, replaced by a snarl. "Are you seriously claiming that your little app is worth that much?"

"Do you have a problem with that?" Jack feigned innocence.

Kyle burst into laughter before slamming the table. "Do you actually think you'll get that valuation? Keep dreaming, and you'll end up with nothing!"

"I know what it's worth," Jack said firmly.

Kyle leaned in and said, "Refuse this deal, and your life might become negotiable too."

Jack lit a cigarette. "Try me."

"You arrogant little shit!" Kyle's composure shattered as he nearly flipped the table. "You'll regret this. You'll be penniless and die a horrible death!"

A muscle-bound enforcer added, "Step outside, or we'll dump your corpse in a dumpster. No one will be saving you."

Jack stood abruptly. He took a long drag, then flicked the cigarette at Kyle's feet and said, "Listen up. I don't play these games. Let's see who breaks first." Updates are released by FιndNovel.net

With the facade gone, Jack didn't bother to pander to Kyle. When one's wealth reached a certain threshold, wolves would inevitably circle. Mystique, Drakengard Games, even Genesis Games had faced the same. Haven wouldn't be spared. Kyle rose, eyes locked on Jack. "I thought you were smart. Turns out you're just another dead man."

Jack turned and walked out. Kyle's furious pounding echoed behind him.

He knew what came next. Haven would face a tough time. Survive this, and it would emerge a titan-a true rival to Facebook, a global powerhouse to challenge TikTok. Haven would be a great international corporation.

With Jack and Kyle's negotiations collapsing spectacularly, the two companies were now sworn rivals—and the coming storm would be merciless.

Yet Facebook would find Haven Connect no easy prey. The platform had gone global, shedding its underdog skin to become a force that couldn't be bullied. Reality had delivered a stinging slap to every skeptic.

Against all odds, Haven didn't just survive it thrived, its resilience galvanizing a wave of patriotic support.

Meanwhile, as the university's centennial neared, Phoebe returned from her exchange program-though rumors swirled she'd soon leave again for full overseas studies, possibly straight through a PhD.

Jack occasionally visited Wesley, who'd recently started dating. Like most engineering majors, Wesley doted on his girlfriend despite her complaints about his unrefined habits. Still, they loved each other like a normal couple.
