Capítulo 6: A Veteran Braggart
Jack didn't know what to say about the system. The money that Alfonso family had given him was so that he could fend for himself without using the name Alfonso.
But here, the system took it as an income. So, he had to know what's income and what's not. 'System, why is the compensation from the family being counted as income?'
[It seems that you don't know the definition of income. I'll define it for you. Income is anything that comes in. If you earn money from stealing or robbing, that's income. If you go around being beaten up before being paid, that's income.]
[In other words, as long as you do something and you get something else in return, that will be counted as income.]
[Of course, the system limits what income will be multiplied. If you steal from a person, that will not be multiplied. If you receive bribes, that will not be multiplied.]
[You have just received $50,000 from your family. That's is the income defecting from Alfonso family. Since it's not counted as illegal as nobody is going to suffer, it has been multiplied.]
Jack was let in silence for a long period of time by the lengthy system explanation. He was trying to think of other sources of income that could be counted as legal by the system.
'Why is a bribe considered illegal? It doesn't hurt a person, does it?' After thinking for a moment, he asked.
[Bribes are going to hurt a person. After all, if a person bribes you, it's either that, the person has done a mistake and doesn't want to be punished or, he's incompetent and is trying to buy his way in.]
[For the first one. If he did a mistake like hitting another person, that is considered hurting someone.]
'Hey, that's too direct. I mean, there are other things, you know.' Jack couldn't help but complain at the system's deduction of a mistake.
[Okay, he might have accidentally hit another person with a car, that's hurting others.]
Jack: "…."
[He might have accidentally poured hot tea on another person's face thus causing this person to be admitted in the hospital. This is considered hurting a person.]
''You're helpless,' Jack sighed.
[For the second one, if a person is incompetent and buys his way into a job, then he's definitely causing the competent but unemployed fellows out there to continue being unemployed.]
Jack: "…."
He seriously didn't know what to say about the system now. This system seriously had some issues. It definitely needed service.
Leaving that aside, Jack focused in the issue of him no longer being a member of Alfonso family. Although he hadn't expected it, he wasn't surprised at all.
After all, what was making him stay in the family mansion was his mother Anne. Now that she was dead for four years and Jack was an adult now, they could disown him.
Although it was the butler that had sent the message, Jack knew that this was his father's decision. After all, he was the head of the family and the CEO of Fonso Group.
He didn't care that much about being removed as a member of the family. It wasn't like he was depending on the family name to do anything anyway. Furthermore, he has a system now and he didn't think that there would be any problem.
After all, the system would multiply his income by a hundred but his losses would remain the same.
In order to make sure that he was no longer counted as a member of Alfonso family in the future, he saved the message that he had received in the email.
If they saw him succeeding in the future and come trying to pull him back into the family, he would show the message to them. He had saved who the sender was plus the contact number.
After that, Jack looked at his account balance. Now that he was having five million dollars, it wasn't bad if he could get a good villa or maybe a mansion to stay in.
With the way that the system was rewarding him, who knew if tomorrow he would be rewarded by a helicopter or maybe some sport cars. If so, with the small parking space of the apartment, there was nowhere that he was going to pack them.
Furthermore, this was a backward place. So, if an expensive vehicle appeared here, it was obvious that there would be people surrounding it and it won't be difficult for several Livestream celebrities to claim that the cars belonged to their boyfriend.
So, all of that would have to wait for the following. Jack had a nice sleep and only woke up at seven in the morning.
He went to the shared bathroom of the apartment and took a shower before changing into a blue jeans and a yellow t-shirt. He wore casually, after all, he wasn't going to an office.
He got out of the room and headed downstairs with the key and helmet. Just like the previous day, there were several people that were curiously eyeing his bike. After all, it looked out of place.
"You know, this is my bike. I bought it yesterday."
"Really? Then, can you give me so that I can go for a ride?"
"What do you mean? Do you know how much it cost me to buy this bike? It was $8,000. If I give you and you get an accident with it, how are you going to repair it?"
"Ah…"
"Hey handsome, why don't we go for a ride together on your bike?"
"Cough! Not now, I still have to do something else. Maybe later."
Jack was left speechless after hearing the conversation. As he pushed through the crowd, he found a guy who seemed to be in his mid-twenties leaning on his bike.
See, this was what I was talking about. This was just a bike that cost about $17,000. Yet, here, there was someone already claiming to own it. He even said that it cost only $8,000?
What a shameless guy! Furthermore, he even found an excuse to evade riding the bike. But, if you have somewhere to go, then why are you still leaning on the bike instead of hurrying on your way? Jack sighed before he approached the bike.
As soon as the young man saw Jack approaching, he frowned and waved his hand impatiently, "Hey buddy, you might not have heard but I own this bike. And, I am about to go somewhere and am not lending it to anyone."
Jack was left speechless once again. Who the hell said that he wanted to borrow the bike. That's my bike, alright?
He simply shook his head as he took out the key and shook it in front of the guy's eyes. He then patted the helmet that he was holding in his left hand.
"Oh, you own your own bike? Am not going for racing at all. I've got somewhere to go." The guy raised his brows slightly before waving Jack off.
Jack: "….."
'Is this person a retard?' He wondered to himself.
"Ahem, I mean I own the bike." Jack coughed slightly and pointed at the bike that the man was leaning on.
The guy looked behind him before he looked at Jack with a face that was full of question marks. "I don't see any bike behind me."
Jack's twitched as he heard this. He sighed and said, "I mean, I own the bike that you're leaning on." As he said this, he shook the key in front of the guy once again.
The guy frowned for a moment before his face revealed as if he had just gotten an epiphany. He coughed embarrassedly and moved to the side.
Jack just shook his head, got on the bike, put on his helmet before he accelerated away from the apartment area.
It was only after he left that the crowd reacted.
"Wait a second, didn't that guy just now claim that the bike was his?"
"Yeah, right. Where's this guy? He shamelessly claimed that he had bought it yesterday."
"He was so smug. It turns out that it wasn't even his."
"So, that's why he was just leaning there and didn't dare to give the bike to someone for a ride."
"I knew it. I didn't see a key on him."
"Shameless, you're also bragging."
"Wait a second, where's that guy?"
"Eh, he was here a second ago. I swear I saw him standing next to him and I didn't see him leave."
"That guy sure is fast."
The crowd was left speechless once again. It turned out that as they were still understanding the situation, the guy had already fled. What was surprising was that in the crowd of about twenty people, nobody saw him getting away.
Jack knew nothing of this but he was still reminding himself that he had to get a house on this very day. Otherwise, it won't be long before a person says that he was her girlfriend.
Speaking of a girlfriend, he wondered what was contained in the envelope that his mother had left him. Still, he put that thought aside as he headed towards the company that had people that were looking for employment.
With the bike's speed, he got there in slightly over thirty minutes. It was located in another street that could be said to be better than Yellow street.
Not only was it cleaner, but the buildings here were also better. This was the Ansten street. It could be said to be where people came to look for job. Or, it could be said that this was the headquarter for those non-employed from several streets that were like Yellow street.
He arrived in front of Dan's Brokers. After parking his bike, he headed straight for the entrance of the building. It was bigger than the shop's agency back in Yellow street.
As he entered, he found that inside was crowded. Although it was crowded, he could see that it was organized well. After all, although the ground floor was an open space, there were plaques hanging in several areas showing the different divisions of professions.
There were sales department where he wanted to go to, cleaning department, security department, delivery department and so on.
As soon as they saw him entering, those that were in charge of several departments ran to him.
"Hello sir, what department would you like to visit?" One of them, who was a beauty asked with a charming smile.
Jack was somehow startled when he saw them rushing towards him but calmed down after hearing the question.
"I mainly want the sales department but I could use the cleaning and delivery department as well." He said after a moment contemplation.
