Chapter 278 Back To Crystal City



Jack didn't know about the disaster that was about to arrive. The person that had been sent over was very strong, at the same level as he was currently. But, there would be definitely several people that would come after the one that had left the stronghold.

But that was going to be left aside for the moment as Jack was planning on going back to Crystal City.

If it was according to his wishes, he really wouldn't have wanted to ever go back to that city because there was nothing that would have made him to stay there, other than his mother.

There was going to be a Memorial Day for his mother during this week. And as a result, Jack had to go back to Crystal City where she was buried. Had it not been for the fact that his mother had been buried for more than 4 years now, he would have really wished to move her corpse away from that place.

All the same, whether he liked it or not, he had to go back.

'I guess I can utilize this chance to completely take over their Companies and assets that I had acquired from the Alfonso family.' Jack talked to himself as he got into his private jet.

Gabriel was of course his current pilot. Gabriel had managed to find another person, whom he had been acquainted with a long time ago during the time that he was working in an airline.

Jack wasn't alone in the jet. He was currently accompanied by Celine and her mother Katelyn, Jonathan and his parents, as well as Denali.

Since it was going to be the time where he was going to remember his mother, then Jack thought that he had to give Denali a break.

Although Denali wasn't willing to be free, when she heard that Jack was going to pay his mother's resting place and visit, she enthusiastically decided to accompany him.

It wasn't that she was happy about it, but it was just because she wasn't willing to let Jack be alone in such a situation. Although she knew that Celine would be there, she went there just to make sure that things would be okay.

As Jack was musing about what he was going to do, Celine who was seated beside him poked his cheek. "What is in your mind at this moment?" She questioned with worry clear in her eyes.

Jack was stunned for a moment before he noticed that he had somehow lost his focus. In the end, he coughed a little as he faced Celine. "Not much, I'm just thinking about what I'm going to do when I arrive there after dealing with my mother's memorial."

"Is that so?" Celine looked at him suspiciously. It was obvious that she didn't believe what he was saying. But since Jack didn't want to say what he was actually thinking about, she decided not to pursue the matter for the moment.

After about an hour, the plane finally landed on the airport in Crystal City. Jack and the group immediately alighted and headed for the clearance before leaving the airport.

As for Gabriel and his friend, they were left there to take care of the plane. They had already found a group that was taking care of the plane and the hostesses that would take care of the passengers.

This was the first time that Jack was in Crystal city's airport. After they got out of the airport, they found that there were several cars that were waiting for them.

This was an arrangement that had been made by Denali. Since she had connections due to the involvement in business, she had easily managed to find some of the people who were in charge of taking care of the businesses that were previously owned by the Alfonso family, to come over and pick them up.

Just as Jack was about to enter the car, he was surprised to see that there was a familiar figure amongst the group that had come over to receive them.

That was none other than his half-brother, Steve. He had always been together with Brenda. But since Jack had killed her off, together with her mother, Steve was basically alone.

Although he had an elder brother who was called Arnold, the two of them were not that close although they were siblings. Although the familiar love was present between the two of them, it wasn't that deep.

Even by the time that Jack destroyed the Alfonso family, Arnold was not in the country. And currently, Jack knew that Arnold wasn't back yet. This was simply because he had already known that Arnold wasn't going to come back no matter what he did or happened.

After looking at Steve for a moment, Jack decided to completely ignore him. At the end of the day, even though it was true that Steve was his half-brother, since Steve never treated him well, then Jack would also completely ignore him.

Even though it was true that Jack was the one who had landed Steve in the current situation that he was in, he wasn't in the least bit guilty. This was all caused by their actions.

As if noticing Jack's gaze on him, Steve turned and looked at Jack. But the moment that he looked at him, Jack had already turned around and was already getting in the car. And as a result, Steve only managed to see his back.

He couldn't help but find Jack's back familiar. But in the end, he shook his head and thought that this was impossible.

After the family went down, Steve had tried to go over to the Off-track racing competitions like always to try and use his skills to earn money, but he found that he was banned.

The reason for this was simply because, after he lost the bet with Jack, he was supposed to never step in Inchoate City. But when his father went to look for Jack, Steve had no choice but to accompany him.

And not surprisingly, the information that he had stepped his foot in Inchoate City reached the Off-track racers. Since he had violated the bet that we had lost on Mount Bright, he was banned from ever participating in any competitions that were organized by Off-track racers.

Although he had already tried the other types of racing organizations, all of them refused. This was all due to the influence of the Off-track racers.

In the end, he had come back to the previous family-owned businesses and applied for a job opportunity. He had applied for the position of a driver.

Although he was a member of the Alfonso family, one of the managers thought that his skills were good enough and decided to give him a job as a driver. He was tasked with the job of driving the company cars.

On this very day, he had been informed that the big boss, the one who currently owned all the businesses that were previously owned by the Alfonso family was going to come over.

Although Steve currently resented the person who had taken over all the properties that were previously Alfonso's, there was nothing that he could do about it.

Not to mention the fact that his father and grandfather had decided to sell off the assets and companies or shares that they owned to this person on their own will, there was also a fact that, his current self couldn't actually compare to the person who had taken over the business.

Even the previous him, he might have perhaps not had the capital to compete with that person.

Shaking his head to dispel all those thoughts from his mind, he got into the car and began driving after everyone was supposed to enter that car had gotten in.

Jack who seated inside a car looked at the buildings as they flashed by. He got somehow nostalgic about this place because, after he had regained the memories that had been sealed, he had at least found some of the best moments that he had spent over here in Crystal City.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the childhood that he had spent with Celine. Perhaps, that was one of the best times in his life, other than after he had received the system.

Not long after, they finally arrived at the mansion that was previously owned by the Alfonso family. This was something that Jack had bought over from them through Denali.

And this was the first time in three months that he was coming back here after he had left. He saw that nothing had really changed even after he had left.

Those who were in charge of the cleaning and so on, were mostly those who had been here previously. But of course, those who were in charge were the ones who had been shifted. At the end of the day, their loyalty had always been lying on the Alfonso family.

Since they had just gotten here from the capital, Jack and the rest decided to take a break and relax. Additionally, it was already evening. So, they were going to take a rest before finally taking their dinner.

While Jack was back to his room, the one that he had always been in when he was present in the Alfonso mansion, Anita had decided to take over the room where Anne had stayed in.

She had missed her sister and as a result, she had decided to go into her room and stay there simply because, perhaps there would be some of the things that would remind her of the time that she had spent together with her sister.
