Chapter 202 Jack And Anita



Jack was busy handling the preparations for the solution. He was intending to prepare a batch of 100 body strengthening solution. In this way, this would be enough for the following week when he delivered it to Valnaro.

He would give Valnaro fifty bottles. On the other hand, the other fifty would be for those that would need it. An example of this being Ayush, Wendy and Angy.

Ayush was his subordinate who was completely loyal. So, he deserved the solution. On the other hand, the two girls were Celine's friends.

Although he hadn't been together with them for a long time, he knew that they were good. And, he could also be considered as their friend though not that deeply.

But all the same, he was willing to give them the solution. In this way, at least they would have the strength to deal with ordinary crooks like Collins and his gang. As such, Celine wouldn't have to get worried that her friends were in trouble.

Just after he placed the solution that he had made into the fridge for it to cool down, his phone rang.

Jack didn't think much and took the phone. When he saw that it was Johnathan that was calling, he wondered what this guy wanted to say. But, his expression was quite strange because this was the first video call between the two of them.

He received while thinking if there was something that Johnathan wanted to show him.

He was just about to arrogantly ask what he wanted when he suddenly froze. The person on the other end of the phone wasn't Johnathan that he had been expecting. Instead, it was a lady with silver hair and blue eyes.

Now, this was just a copy of his mother. But, Jack knew all too well that this wasn't his mother. Instead, it should be his aunt Anita.

But all the same, seeing Anita really reminded Jack of his mother and this made his calm emotions to stir.

But, he managed to not show anything on his face other than the curiosity. He was curious about why he was called.

Although he knew that Johnathan must have wanted to introduce him to Anita, he still remembered that he had told that fool that he would go and see her when he thought that he was ready.

Now, there was an idiot that had decided that they would have to meet up this early. So, he had to make sure that the next time that they met, he would give him a good beating.

"This prank won't work." Anita stated as she looked at the other side. Jack could assume that she was looking at Johnathan.

And, it was also at this moment that Jack knew that there was a game that Johnathan was playing. This guy must be looking for a way to cause trouble for him.

Jack blinked his eyes twice and decided to wait. He wasn't going to say a word unless Johnathan explained it. He wasn't the one that had made a call at the end of the day.

"Mom, that's not a prank. That's the person that I met when I went out. So, I thought that you would understand by seeing him directly instead of having me explain things to you slowly." Jack could hear Johnathan speaking.

Anita's brows furrowed as she looked at the direction that Johnathan was. Then, she looked at the screen. She keenly observed the other person that was being seen on the screen.

And after a while, she managed to see the difference between him and Johnathan. That was the fact that their jaws had some kind of difference.

Furthermore, the one on the screen had a different clothing style as compared to Johnathan.

But, the main difference that Anita noticed was definitely the hair length. The one on the screen had shorter hair as compared to Johnathan.

At this moment, Jack decided that this would be a good time for him to play a trick so that Johnathan would be in a little trouble. As he thought of this, he smiled in his mind and began acting.

"I don't know if this video will work. Anyway, I'm sure I will do the editing well enough. This should be enough to make sure that mom won't ask about where I was during the past year." Jack muttered.

He was speaking in a low voice as of he was speaking to himself. But, although he was speaking in a low voice, he made sure that his words were clear enough so that Anita would hear them.

And true to his guess, Anita's frown deepened. She then looked at Johnathan in an unfriendly manner.

When Johnathan noticed his mother's gaze, he knew that things were not going as he had planned.

He too had just heard what Jack had said. His senses were sharp and he wasn't that far from his mother to begin with.

He just wanted to explain himself when he suddenly heard Jack continuing with his act.

"Ahem, hello aunt. Yes, I'm Jack. I was with Johnathan during the past year and that's the reason as to why he was away." Jack continued.

"I know that you might be wondering why he couldn't receive your calls, it was simply because we were on the mountains and there was no network there." Jack stated.

Anita's expression turned strange as she looked at the video that was ongoing and then at the panicking Johnathan.

Now, she believed that this was a trick that Johnathan was planning to use so that she wouldn't guess the main reason as to why he had been away for a year.

And, for some reason, the plan had backfired. It seemed that he had uploaded the unedited video instead of the edited one. As for the differences that were there between the one on the screen and Johnathan, she believed that this was the work of the make-up artists.

And the reason as to why it connected as a video call, that could be the work of technology. With the current level, that was something that was completely doable.

"Johny, why don't you tell me why you were away for a year without telling me where you were going? And, even if you didn't want me to know where you were going to, you could have at least maintained the communication between the two of us." Anita stated as she looked at Johnathan.

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ The moment that he heard his mother calling him Johny, he knew that things were going towards the wrong path completely. She always used that name to refer to him only when she was angry.

And the end result of it was definitely something that he wouldn't want to experience again.

So, Johnathan snatched the phone from his mother's hand and shouted at Jack who was just about to continue acting.

"What the hell are you doing?! Stop acting already!" Johnathan yelled. He had been planning to use Jack to get himself out of the tight situation. But, Jack was actually pulling him deeper.

Jack smiled as he looked at Johnathan who was anxious on the screen. He winked at him. The expression on his face was one full of satisfaction.

He then shrugged his shoulders and decided to continue with the acting. "Well, I think that the explanation that I have given is enough. Oh, I forgot about something here."

This time, Jack's voice wasn't low at all. It was loud. He was intent on making sure that Anita who was at the side heard him clearly.

"Aunt, I'm currently busy with something. So, I'll hang up now. I will give you all the explanation through a recorded video once I'm done here." Jack continued.

Johnathan peeked at his mother and he could see that she had began rubbing her hands together. And, he knew what was going to come in the next moment.

So, he anxiously shouted at Jack. "Jack, can you stop playing a prank here? I know that I made a mistake here. So, how about I compensate you once I come to see you?"

The moment that Jack heard that, his eyes lit up. He hoped that the system wouldn't count the compensation as illegal because that was what he wanted.

Of course, the thing that Jack wanted was shares. If he could get shares from Johnathan, with the help of the system, he might get the shares of another company.

And, if the shares were of a company that was in the same industry as the ones that he was having, he would do the merging. In this way, he would be taking a step towards being a monopoly.

"Hahaha, alright, alright! Don't forget about that. If you don't compensate me for ruining my plans, you will definitely have to suffer from something else." Jack stated.

Anita who was rubbing her hands froze. This time, she was sure that there was something going on here. It was that there were two people there and the other one was simply acting.

Johnathan smiled bitterly and gave the phone back to his mother.

Anita took the phone with trembling hands. Although she didn't know what exactly was going on, she could tell that there was something that was happening and it was important.

"Hello again aunt. I'm sorry about what just occurred. It was just that the guy there ruined my plans. So, I was trying to make him suffer a little." Jack stated with a smile the moment that he saw Anita appearing again.

"So, you are Jack?" Anita nodded and asked.

"Yes, aunt." Jack nodded in reply.

At this moment, Anita could already make a guess on what was happening. So, she revealed a happy smile on her face and asked, "You are my sister's son, right?"

"That's right." Jack replied.

"Where is she now?" Anita asked. She had not met with her sister for about two decades. This was enough for her to miss her again and again.

She didn't have a way of communicating with her at all. So, she wanted to see her.

"That's kind of impossible." Jack replied with a stiff expression on his face.

"Why is that? Did something happen to Anne?" Anita asked in a panicked voice.

Jack nodded and he replied. "She passed away about four years ago."
