Chapter 148 Ineffective Pills

As chaos erupted in the Alfonso family, Jack was busy with something else. It had already been so long yet the body strengthening pills had yet to be produced. He was now getting impatient. After all, this was one part of his plans. If it was missing, then the private team that he had formed would be useless with the normal strength.r

In other words, there would be nothing special about the private team. He wasn't ready to waste his time and resources in forming something ordinary.r

He got out of his room and headed downstairs. He found that Johnathan and the girls were chatting about what was happening in the Alfonso family.r

The girls had already known that Jack was from the Alfonso family. And now, they had also known that he was making them bankrupt.r

When they saw him coming down, they greeted him enthusiastically. Then, Celine asked, "Jack, are you intending to make the Alfonso family bankrupt? Or are you going to make their lives even difficult?"r

Celine didn't like the fact that these people had actually made Jack's childhood a living hell. Furthermore, she had just known that they were the reason as to why Jack's mother died earlier. In other words, they had killed her.r

So, for some reason, she found herself hating them just like how Jack did. But till this moment, she didn't know that Jack had already killed those that were responsible for his mother's death.r

Jack had decided not to talk about that at all. In any case, it didn't have any effect whether Celine and the others knew that he had actually killed those that were responsible or not.r

"Not really. I just want them to experience despair first. Then, I will acquire all the property under their names. In this way, I can make sure that they will have nothing to depend on in the future." Jack replied as he sat opposite Johnathan.r

Celine nodded in understanding. She could tell that Jack was intent in making sure that the Alfonso family paid for their crimes. She too would like to see that happening.r

During this time, Johnathan had been one of the important people in making sure that the Alfonso family went bankrupt in a single day. That's right, it was just the previous day that they had released information about the doctor before attacking the Alfonso family after the doctor had created the hype.r

Denali was currently busy with acquiring the shares at a low price as the shareholders sold them. These guys were so scared to continue remaining in the same company as the members of the Alfonso family. So, they wanted to hurriedly hand over the shares to others.r

Since it was obvious that there would only be a few people who might be willing to acquire the shares, these guys had no choice but to suffer a loss by selling the shares at a very low price.r

Denali on the other hand was making sure that the prices of the shares was pushed to the lowest limit while at the same time, she was fanning the flames that were already burning the Alfonso family.r

In this way, those that were reluctant to sell the shares at a lower price would have no choice but to sell them. Otherwise, once the company went bankrupt, let alone selling the shares, they would have to pay for all the debts that were accumulating one after the other.r

As the group chatted, Jack continued thinking about the pills. He already had another pill recipe, the anti-leukemia pills. These were the pills that he was going to release to the market.r

But, he was still wondering what was taking the research centre so long to produce the pills. They had the ingredients needed, they had the recipe, and all those that were participating in the production of the pills were experts in their fields. And, there were twelve of them.r

Thinking that there might be something wrong, Jack decided to ask about it. He sent a text to Denali, to ask her to inquire about the production of the pills.r

Knowing that Jack was getting impatient, Denali immediately contacted the person that was in charge of the production to confirm what was going on.r

The information that she received surprised her. She really wanted to go to the capital and look at the results by herself. But, considering that she was still busy with the issue concerning the Alfonso family, she couldn't do it.r

She had no choice but to inform Jack about the results. After all, he was the one that had given the recipe.r

"The production is completed but the pills are ineffective? How's that possible?" Jack asked in disbelief after he received the information from Denali.r

One had to know that the recipe came from the system. So, Jack was sure that there was no way that the system would give him counterfeit things. What he had received so far was a proof for that.r

"Are you sure that they followed the steps that are required correctly? Otherwise, how can the pill be ineffective?" Jack asked again.r

"Boss, that's what they told me. They said that they had made sure to follow all the steps and they finally produced the pills five days ago. But, they had tried them out but they were not working at all." Denali replied.r

"Okay then. I'll head there to see it myself. And if the equipment is what is causing problems, you can as well inform them to purchase a higher version of the equipment if it exists. There is no need for them to save money." Jack stated.r

After ending the call, Jack was just about to make another call when Johnathan called him out. "Hey Jack, what are you talking about? Are you researching on some kind of pill or something?"r

"Not researching. The research was already completed and the recipe of the pill has already been produced. It is just that they are informing me that although they can produce the pills, it's like the pills are not working accordingly." Jack stated.r

"What kind of pill are you researching anyway?" Celine asked.r

"It's a unique one. You can only know about it after you test one of them." Jack replied.r

"Eh? Test? I'm not sick, so why would I want to test the pill?" Celine was dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask to confirm.r

"Of course you are sick. How can you not be sick?" Jack said full of confidence.r

Not just Celine, but everyone in the room looked at Celine, it was as if they were trying to confirm that she was actually sick. But no matter how they looked at her, they couldn't find anything wrong with her.r

"Humph! You! How dare you say that I'm sick? I'm going to beat you up!" Celine's face was flushed as she said these words. Before Jack knew it, she was already rushing towards him, ready to beat him up.r

"Hey, hey. How can you be so sure that you are not sick when you haven't asked what kind of disease you are suffering from?" Jack couldn't fight back at all and could only receive the weak punches from the girl.r

"You dare to continue saying that I'm sick? How am I sick? Point out what I'm suffering from. Otherwise, I'm not going to let you go unless I beat you up and make sure that you are taken to the hospital." Celine became angry as she continued hitting Jack.r

When she noticed that her punches were not effective on him, she looked around and found a shoe. She was just about to continue hitting him when the door of the mansion's living room opened and Faith stepped in.r

Seeing Celine's actions, she couldn't help but speak. "You two like flirting with each other all day long. When are you ever going to stop doing that in public? You are hurting we who are still single."r

Celine blushed further when she heard Faith's words. It was only at this point that she remembered that there were actually other people in the room other than the two of them.r

She looked at them and found that they were actually looking at her with weird expressions. She lowered her head and rushed out of the mansion. She was so ashamed to face anyone. After all, she had just lost her composure in front of so many people. Wouldn't the image that she had created collapse?r

Seeing that he was spared from being beaten up, Jack decided to continue with what he was supposed to.r

"Hello Klein. Bring the team to my mansion. We are going to Kartu city tomorrow. So, you should be here by seven tomorrow." Jack stated.r

"Got it boss." Klein replied.r

Klein was the captain that had been selected by the others of the squad. That was the decision that they had come to after a period of time.r

And Klein and the others were already getting uneasy all this time. After all, since the formation of the squad, they had only carried a single mission, dealing with the goons that were blocking the store entrances.r

Since then, they had been idle, not having anything to do. They had thought that Jack had forgotten about them. Although it was true that they had received some of the benefits that Jack had mentioned to them before, there were others that they had yet to receive.r

But that was not what they were worried about. What they were worried about was the squad that had been formed to be disbanded. If it was, they would lose their advantage. What's more, they too didn't like the fact that they were receiving their income yet they were doing nothing other than idling around.r

Now that they had been asked out again, Klein was clearly more than happy to comply. He was waiting for the time that Jack would have a use for them again.r

After ending the call with Klein, Jack spoke to the system. 'Angel, can I have one of the helicopters delivered here? It will make things convenient for me to move around with this large group of people.'r

[It will be here in an hour at most. You know, it has to appear like there was a person delivering it. So, I will be making the arrangements for that.]r

'That's good then.' Jack nodded in agreement.r

"Guys, tomorrow I'm heading to Kartu. Who's going there with me?" Jack asked.r

"I'll be heading there with you. I have to be around you so that you can 'protect' me." Johnathan agreed without hesitation.r

"I will be going back to see my grandpa. He seems angry after what I told him yesterday." Wendy said.
