Chapter 621

"Is this Mr. Lycan? I would like your assistance," Patrick pleaded.

"Come to Sandalwood Group. I'm in my office," Tristan replied before ending the call.

30 minutes later, Patrick found himself kneeling in Tristan's expansive office, while Tristan lounged on a leather couch, deep in thought.

Patrick laid bare his vendetta against Jack. He was willing to trade everything for revenge, including his dignity and life. His forehead nearly touched the ground as he beseeched Tristan's aid.

Tristan asked Patrick solemnly, "To get rid of Jack, you'd truly pay any price?" Fresh chapters posted on finḑnovel.net

"Yes!" Patrick said confidently.

"Excellent." A predatory gleam flickered in Tristan's eyes as he leaned forward. "I can grant you power. But this power is dangerous and may cost you your life. Are you still willing?"

Patrick nodded immediately. "I am."

"One more condition. What transpired today stays in this room." With a satisfied nod, he led Patrick to a secret location.

Inside an upscale club, Leslie listened intently to the report coming through his phone. His hatred for Jack ran deep.

After all, Jack had ruined his plans with Phoebe, a humiliation that still festered in his mind. What infuriated him even more was that Jack had dared to retaliate afterward, forcing Leslie into months of hiding.

Leslie had been racking his brain for ways to dig up dirt on Jack when his enemy had conveniently resurfaced.

The revelation that Jack was the founder of the newly listed Genesis Games stunned Leslie but it didn't intimidate him. On the contrary, the fact that his enemy was powerful only excited him more.

Crushing an ant was boring. But trampling an elephant? That promised real satisfaction.

Leslie's parents wielded formidable influence in the local financial circles, with family assets in the tens of billions. Though Jack's company was valued at hundreds of billions of dollars, his diluted equity meant his personal wealth was on par with Leslie's family. Money wouldn't give Jack the upper hand.

Moreover, Leslie had other advantages. Alnewgo was the Cline family's turf. More importantly, Jack was just a college kid with farmer parents-no connections, no backing.

Given the Cline family's long-established position in high society, Leslie had far more resources at his disposal to challenge Jack than Jack could muster.

In a country focused on national development, a wealthy entrepreneur was just that-wealthy. It was only with the right social standing and an expansive network of influential connections that a person could command respect and fear.

At a certain level, money alone lost its all-encompassing power. In such circles, power, connections, and perhaps most importantly, bloodlines, took precedence. Moreover, with Genesis Games just having gone public, Jack couldn't afford to sell off any shares to stabilize the stock price, which meant the resources he could use were far fewer than Leslie.

Furthermore, most of Jack's resources were overseas, making them seem even more insignificant when compared to Leslie's extensive local network.

If Leslie truly decided to go after Jack with all his might, Jack would likely find it very hard to defend himself.

Leslie's heart swelled with ambition. Aside from the satisfaction of exacting revenge, the idea of striking a blow to a company worth hundreds of billions gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Leslie's current aim was to gather as much support as possible. And that's when he remembered Peter, who had been punched by Jack not long ago.

As one of the four powerful young men of Tarthy City, Peter possessed far greater power than Leslie. If he could win Peter's support, taking down Jack would undoubtedly become much easier.

...

After the final exams were completed, Jack finally set off to return home from Alnewgo.
