Chapter 179 Memories Were Sealed

But, since I had run away, I was useless. So, I was cast away since I was no longer important.r

This was the reason as to why you sometimes found me crying. I didn't want to leave because I was naïve enough to think that perhaps he might change his mind and start treating me better.r

The result of this is the fact that you are currently reading the contents of the envelope because I'm no longer there for you. And for that reason, I know that I have failed you.r

And, although I have several grievances in my heart, without any ability, I'm afraid that there's nothing that you can do to Dalton to repay what he did to me. And, although your strength should be able to rise as long as you use what I have left for you, it might take even a decade before you can compete with the Alfonso family.r

So, even if you have a heart that is full of rage, anger, hatred and sadness, I hope that you won't lose your mind and act impulsively as attacking the Alfonso family when you are weak. Grow strong first before you can try doing that.r

But then, let's put that aside. I still have to inform you of some things that are hidden. Some of the mysteries of the world where we are in.r

Inside the envelope, there are two other things that I left for you. You have a part of your memories that are sealed. You will have to use the pills inside the envelope to be able to unseal them.r

As for the result, that was one thing that I hoped that you would follow according to what your heart tells you. It's reason as to why you were supposed to open the envelope if you ever thought of starting your own family.r

The memories of yours that are sealed contain a good part of your life that will surely affect your choice of a partner. So, I hope that you haven't fallen in love yet or you might have someone's child heartbroken…'r

The more that Jack read the letter that was left by his mother, the more his heart thumped. He couldn't believe that there was something like the sealing of his memory.r

This was beyond his comprehension. Could there be hidden secrets here in the world that he actually didn't know about? Well, it was true that he didn't know many secrets. But, how could there be several supernatural secrets that had yet to be exposed?r

Although he was calm due to the fact that the existence of the system was one of the supernatural events, he had never expected that there would be others in existence. Furthermore, even his mother knew about it.r

Jack couldn't help but wonder if the whole Jesda family knew about the existence of the supernatural secrets. If so, why would Johnathan hide this from him?r

In any case, Jack continued to read the letter.r

'As for the contents of your memories, I don't think that I have to say a word about them because you'll be able to find out what it is that you have forgotten.r

After you find what you have lost, I hope that you can do according to what your heart wills. But just an information in advance, in the memories of yours, you will know someone that you'll only have to look for when you believe that you have some ability.r

That person is someone that I came to know during the years that I was in the Alfonso family. She used to come to crystal city. As for the reason, she always said that this was related to business.r

As for the secret that I'm hiding, I don't think that I can expose it to you because of my concern for you. The moment that you know about it, you will no longer be able to live a normal peaceful life.r

But, you have to know that the sealing of your memories is related to me. And, the reason behind this is because I didn't want to implicate someone else in the matters concerning me.r

But now that I have left, even if you get your memories back, nothing will happen. So, I would like you to take care my son. The world is full of mysteries that are hiding in the dark.r

And these mysteries are like a Pandora box. When you open them, you have to expect anything, benefits or losses. And, none of the two is something simple.r

As for the Jesda family, if you happen to encounter someone, I just hope that you won't reveal that you are my son to them. After all, not everyone in the family will welcome another competitor into the family.r

Well, since I'm no longer there with you, I guess that I left you without saying goodbye. I can only say goodbye to you in this way. Goodbye then. Sorry for failing you and I hope that you won't face difficulties. Take care!'r

That was where the letter ended at. Jack had his brows raised as his mind spun, several thoughts going through his mind continuously. He didn't know what to say and neither did he know what to do.r

But, he thought of something.r

'Angel, why is it that the system couldn't help me to remove the seal that is on my memories even after it has been with me for almost two months now?' Jack asked.r

[Well, you can't just go around and start blaming the system for your incompetence.]r

'What do you mean by my incompetence?' Jack was flabbergasted and didn't know what to say about Angel's choice of words.r

[That's right. You are the one who is incompetent here. After all, you have yet to upgrade the system to the second level. Had you done that, the system would have simply removed the seal from your memories.]r

Jack was surprised. Then, he asked, 'If the system can only help me after it upgrades to the second level, isn't it the one that is supposed to be called incompetent?'r

[Not really. The system has the ability to remove the seal on your memories at the moment. But, you have to fulfill the conditions for it to be upgraded to the second level. In this way, you would have proved your worth as a hardworking person. In this way, the system can do that for you for free and there wouldn't be any side effects.]r

Jack: "…."r

Jack didn't expect that the system would be testing him in the end. He took a deep breath. It seemed that he was missing a lot of things till this point due to the fact that the level of the system was low.r

[Excuse me. The system's level isn't low. It's just that your authority's level is low. That's what you are upgrading. The system's authority level.]r

'Didn't you previously say something like, system upgrade condition?' Jack wondered to himself. But due to the fact that he still has other things to take care of, he could only set the thoughts aside and deal with what he had just read.r

The sealing of his memories, was related to his mother. The purpose of this being that she didn't want to involve someone else on something that she didn't even mention.r

From this, Jack could tell that there was something else that his mother was hiding. Could it be that she didn't want to involve the other party with the Alfonso family? That was unlikely.r

Then, could it be related to the Jesda family? That was a question that he had no answer to at the moment.r

Then, who was this person that his mother referred to? Could it be that she knew something about his mother? Thinking of this, Jack took the small envelope and looked at it.r

He could feel that there was something like a card that was present inside it. And, there were two small other things inside as well.r

Removing the seal, Jack opened the envelope. Inside, Jack found that the first thing was a bank card. And, it was one of the highest level cards of the Flyers bank, a platinum card.r

Jack's brows rose. Then, he looked at the card's details. What surprised him was the fact that this card was registered under his name. But, what he couldn't understand was the fact that, when his mother passed away, he was only fifteen. So, where did the id that was used to register the account come from?r

Jack's thoughts were still roaming when suddenly, a system prompt appeared.r

[You've received $1.6B. Multiplier applied. You receive $160B.]r

[Would you like all the money to be transferred into a single account?]r

Jack's jaw dropped. Another one? How does this even work? Jack asked on disbelief.r

[Host, you must be a person of a short memory. You have perhaps forgotten the system's description of income. So, I'll help you remember for free.]r

Then, in front of Jack, a projection appeared. This was the projection of Jack when he was in Inchoate city's yellow street. Inside the apartment that he had rented there, Jack who was seated on the bed was looking in the empty air in front of him.r

Then, just as Jack was startled by the scene of the projection appearing, something else made his expression turn strange.r

From another person's perspective, Jack could see as several system prompts appeared one after the other.
