Jack had noticed that, although George was wearing casual clothes, the way that he was being treated by those members of the top five families was absolutely different.
He had seen that there were several other youths that came from other big families of Inchoate. But all the same, their families couldn't compare to the big five.
William and the others seemed not to be paying much attention to them. But George was different. The group could enthusiastically chat with him. And what's more, the way they treated him was like, he was their equal and sometimes, he could feel that they had some sense of respect for him.
A good example of the treatment would be Ismael. If it was another person of Inchoate that wasn't in good terms with him, he was sure that Ismael would have already looked for ways to make sure that the person went down.
But to George, other than throwing his mouth off, he did nothing else. So, it was obvious to Jack that George was hiding his real identity. But, what identity was it?
..
George was stunned by Jack's question. He hadn't expected that Jack would ask something like that. But after a moment, he smiled bitterly as he thought to himself, 'Oh, how can I forget that someone like him isn't simple?'
After a moment of silence, George finally spoke. "To tell you the truth, I'm a member of Dante family. I'm the second son."
George's reply was absolutely out of Jack's expectations. He had thought that George's identity was small. Who knew that George was the second son of the largest family, the overlord of Inchoate city, Dante family. The owners of Dante corporation.
Although Jack was startled by the answer, the only reaction that was shown on his face was raising his brows a little. This reaction made George admire him more. He kept wondering, what did Jack experience for him to have such a stable mentality.
"As for the reason as to why I'm out there, it's to fulfill my end of a bet. I had betted with Ismael about five years ago that, the one that lost the bet would stop using their family's influence for five years. I lost the race and was banned from racing for five years." Upon seeing that Jack was listening, George continued.
"There's only a month before I can finish the price that I had to pay for losing the bet. To be exact, I only have twenty seven days till the end of it." George said all of this with some hint of dejection.
Jack finally understood why the group could engage George. Furthermore, George was an easygoing person. He didn't put on the airs of a young master from the biggest family of a city at all.
What made Jack admire him the most was the fact that, he had been doing delivery work for almost five years. And, he'd never gone back on his words. He made sure to keep his end of the bet. As for his character at work, he was truly determined to complete all the duties that had been assigned to him.
So, Jack finally understood why he saw the name Dante on George's name. George was a low profile person. So, even those that had given George the delivery work didn't know of his identity. Even Jack didn't link the two together.
"So, after the month is up, what are you going to do?" Jack asked.
"I guess I'll stay with boss. I need to learn from you how to drive like a professional. Before going back to the racing competition, I'll have to improve my skills." George stated after a moment of silence.
Jack turned and gazed at him for a moment before nodding. "Okay then. If there's something that you need my assistance in, ask and I'll help whenever I can."
George smiled. He knew that Jack wasn't simple. As a member of Dante family, he knew all too well about Brenda and Steve. He knew that, all those that had gone against them in the past had suffered a considerable loss.
But now, Jack was facing the two of them at the same time. But, he didn't seem like a person that was getting overwhelmed. This implied that Jack had a way to deal with them. For that reason, George decided that he was going to maintain the relationship between them.
After about forty minutes of driving, he finally arrived at the palace. The traffic on the road had caused them to arrive after a longer period of time than when they were leaving the city.
The reason for this being that, currently, it was 8pm. At this time, traffic was quite high. So, although Jack had made use of the not so popular roads, he still experienced traffic at the roundabouts that connected these roads to the busy highways.
Of course, Jack made sure to send George home first before returning to the palace. Although Jack knew that George was a member of the Dante family, he wasn't going to help him in going against the bet that he made.
If George wanted to use his family influence to get to live a better life, he would have done so. And since he didn't, then Jack helping him because of his family influence was something that he wouldn't do.
The guards opened the gate as soon as they saw the Bentley's familiar registration number. They bowed to him as they welcomed him. Jack nodded to them before he parked the car in the parking lot.
After getting into the mansion, he headed straight to his bedroom. Although the Bentley was quite comfortable to sit in unlike other sports cars, but, sitting inside the Bentley Continental GT for over an hour had made him feel tired.
This made him think of starting to drive the SUVs instead. But, that would have to wait as currently, Jack wanted to see what rewards the system had given him.
After taking a shower, he changed into his pajamas before laying on his back on the bed. Then, he stared at the system prompts that he'd received when he was on Mount Bright.
{Flyers Bank Savings Account Received $1M. Current Balance is $3 679,060.}
[You've earned $1M. Multiplier applied. You've received $100M.]
[First income. As a reward, you gain a customized Eurocopter EC135.]
[System task completed. Professional Driving Skill now permanently belongs to the host.]
He then took out his phone. There, he confirmed that he'd received another message.
{Flyers Bank Savings Account Received $99,000,000. Current Balance is $102,679,060}
Looking at the huge balance, Jack decided that he needed to do something. It would be good to see some strings of zero instead of seeing so many numbers. With that thought, he decided that he would open another account.
This new account would be the one that would be used by the financial department of the grocery department. Since he was still in the starting phase, he still needed more money. But, with over 100M dollars, he could settle everything the following day.
Then, there was something that made him more excited. That was the fact that, with the completion of the system's task, the professional driving skill was now his permanently. In other words, he was going to remain as the driving deity Jack.
He wondered when he would receive another mission with a reward of skills. If he got something like business management, he would be able to ensure that his enterprise was making enough money. No, it should be maximizing the enterprise's profits and reputation.
But, he didn't know when the system would give him such a reward again. But, he didn't lose hope as the system was still there. He still had things that would be rewarded as the first income reward. Just like the stores that he'd recently bought, the rewards had yet to be given to him.
As for the last reward, the Eurocopter EC135. That was the reward for the first income that he'd received from racing. He was wondering if he could participate in such races in different areas so that he could get even more rewards. But, it seemed impossible.
[The first time income can only be repeated on the business, where you work to earn a profit, not where you receive the rewards of winning in a hobby.]
'Is there a difference between them? Aren't they income all the same?' Jack couldn't help but ask.
[True, both of them are incomes but, one is a hobby and another needs skills, determination, courage, decisiveness and connections. There are many risks involved in business that could lead to heavy losses. On the other hand, in racing competitions, other than the registration fee, nothing else is lost if you don't win the race.]
Jack simply sighed at the system's logic. Then, he thought of something, 'What about the money that I can win after getting the first position in a race?'
[The restriction is only applied on the first time income reward. But, the multiplier still applies on the money that is earned from racing. After all, this is income.]
Jack shook his head helplessly. Then, he thought of the Eurocopter. Was it going to be delivered like the Bugatti Veyron was? As soon as this thought echoed in his mind, the system spoke.
[Since it's night and the system doesn't like to delay the rewards unless the host asks for it, the Eurocopter was delivered in the palace a long time ago and the guards have already been dealt with. No worries, you can just fly your Eurocopter freely.]
Jack was surprised. After all, he'd thought that the system would deliver the Eurocopter the same way the Bugatti was. Who knew that the system listened to his advice? After all, who does car delivery at night if there's no emergency?
'Where is it? I don't think there's a helipad here.' Jack asked.
[There's one on the roof of the parking garage.]
'Where's a parking garage?' Jack asked curiously. He'd never seen one here.
[Once the walls of the parking lot are raised, the parking lot would become a parking garage.]
