Chapter 613

On the other hand, Phoebe was enjoying her life in Brightland. Although news about Genesis Games going public had reached Brightland, it was not the main talk of the town. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on find(ɴ)ovel.net

At least, it wasn't a topic that ladies gravitated toward.

Someone like Emily and Quintis would not take notice of any game-related news reports. Even though Genesis Games had made an influential impact, their vision was focused on broader areas, which caused them to miss their son's defining moment.

When Jack returned to Alnewgo University, the final semester examinations were over, and most of the students had left for the holidays.

When he returned to Alnewgo, it was snowing heavily.

Jack was wearing a windbreaker as he walked in the snowstorm. At this moment, his upright posture and confidence left everyone in awe.

When they heard that Jack had returned, Joshua, Samuel, Isaac, Ronnie, and the rest came to welcome him back. The moment they saw Jack at the university entrance, they immediately ran to him and gave him a big hug.

While congratulating Jack for successfully going public so quietly, they were also the bearer of bad news.

Since the final semester examinations had ended yesterday and Jack did not participate in any of them, he was on the verge of failing almost every subject and could only wait until next year to retake the papers.

This was a heavy blow to a university student like Jack.

When they saw how dejected he was, Isaac, Joshua, and the rest finally understood. Even the high and mighty founder of Genesis Games would have the same worries and concerns as any other university student.

That was right. Jack was still their old university classmate and roommate.

Everything had changed, yet everything remained the same at the same time.

Isaac gave Jack an idea. "Jack, why don't you explain yourself to Mr. Hestington? Even if it means failing fewer subjects, that's still something."

So, Jack had no choice but to head to Uriah's office.

Uriah was busy with something. He wore a surprised look when he saw that Jack had returned.

Soon, he put down the pen in his hand and signaled for Jack to take a seat.

After Jack sat down, Uriah proceeded to say, "Congratulations! Genesis Games' market value has exceeded 20 billion dollars. This is a groundbreaking achievement!"

A CEO of a publicly listed company emerging from the class was undoubtedly something to be proud of. Deep down, Uriah felt that having a student like Jack was the pride of a lifetime.

Ever since Jack went to New Vork for his roadshow, Uriah had been attentively observing the happenings revolving around Genesis Games. When Genesis Games' market value exceeded 20 billion dollars, he was proud to have nurtured such a student who had achieved great success.

Jack humbly responded to Uriah's kind words. He also kept his posture humble- first, he was still a student and ought to remain modest; second, he had come here today for a favor from Uriah.

Uriah felt comforted by Jack's humility. He couldn't help but sigh. "Looking at you has suddenly made me realize my age. It's finally time for young people like you to take the stage."

Although he claimed to be old, his eyes glistened with satisfaction as his heart beamed with pride.

Jack smiled and comforted him, saying, "Mr. Hestington, you can't say that about yourself. You're still so full of energy!"
