Jack was also surprised. From the way that Simon was speaking, it was as though he possessed confidence that he was going to win. But considering the gap that Jack had won with the previous time but they had raced with each other, it was clear that Simon could not compare to Jack at all.
Even though he was quite curious about where Simon was getting the confidence from, Jack nonetheless agreed. Of course, he could get the shares, the 1% shares of his family's hotel was not something that he could fail to get.
In fact, previously, Newton had offered to give them the shares, Jack and Henry, but the two of them decided against it. They were not willing to be involved in management for the time being, unless they had graduated.
Additionally, they did not want to be involved with the family business as of now, considering that they had yet to know what mission awaited them in this world.
"Sure. If that is the case, I have no problem at all. But, that is something that is going to take quite a while to be processed, considering that after I win, the shares will have to be transferred, which is a process. I want to get out of here today after winning something. What do you think about staking something else?" Jack commented casually.
Simon was exhilarated when Jack agreed. Of course, before suggesting something like waging 1% shares of his family's hotel, he had already prepared. He was sure that he was going to win, and that was the reason why he was that confident.
In fact, this was just part of the plan that he was having in order to destroy Jack and Henry. He believed that as long as he managed to get the 1% shares of the hotel that was owned by Jack's family, it would be easy on him In his family.
As for Jack, he would definitely not receive the same treatment as he was currently receiving in his family, after losing the shares to the enemy. Additionally, it was this 1% share of the hotel that the Phillips would use in order to destroy the Smiths.
Even though it was not capable of destroying the Smiths completely, but still, it could cause some damage to them. As for how that 1% share was going to be used by his family, he did not know, but his father told him that as long as he acquired it, he would be given more shares of Jumbo hotel.
It was already good enough for him that Jack had accepted to wage against him, willing to lose the shares of his family's hotel. But now, it seemed that Jack was not satisfied with just losing the shares of his family's hotel, but instead, he wanted to lose more than that.
Since that was the case, Simon would welcome it of course. He was more than happy to win something more than that from Jack. In fact, it would be better if he could win back the car that he had lost to Jack, together with the money that he had lost the previous time.
"Of course we can do that. What do you think about, if I decide to add the car that I came to use today in the race?" Simon suggested as he pointed towards another car.
That was yet another car that he had come in. Well, it was not his own, but it was the one that he had managed to get from his father after he told him the plan that he was having.
Had It not been that he was supported by his father in this, it would have been impossible for him to be able to get a car that he could use for racing today. Well, he could hire one, but that was something that was considered as a shame to a young master of his status.
The car that he had come in today was a Lamborghini Aventador. It seemed that Simon had a knack for Lamborghini cars. Jack already knew about the specs of the Lamborghini that Simon had come with today.
For the previous one, it had a maximum speed of 199 mph, while for the one that Simon came with today, it had a maximum speed of 217 mph.
Jack could not help but wonder if the increase in speed was what had given Simon the confidence that he was going to win. In any case, previously, Jack was driving a car that was only having a maximum speed over 180 mph, the speed that was only attained after the modification.
But despite that, he managed to win the race, with a big gap between the two of them. And in this situation, even with an increase in speed, it was clear that Simon would not be driving the car at the maximum speed, as that would lead to him rolling over, especially at a corner, if he did not slow down.
In any case, it seemed that winning that car, for it to be part of the bet that was going to be used today, it was not a bad deal. The price of that car was at most $551k. It was not bad to win it. But Jack felt that it was quite low, considering that he was willing to use $2 million.
"For my part, I'm going to be bold enough to stake $2 million. Don't you think that your car is not enough?" Jack asked, surprising everyone around once again.
They could not help but feel that these two had definitely gone insane. The stakes that they were waging here were insane. It was clear that one of them would win, and the other one would lose. In that situation, a conflict was bound to arise.
At the end of it all, who among the two of them was going to agree to lose all of that? It was clear that all of them wanted to win, and they had confidence in winning. But there could only be a single winner, unless the two of them tied up.
Simon on the other hand was completely dumbstruck upon hearing what Jack had said. He was actually willing to give away $2 million dollars just like that? That was insane!
"Give me a moment." Simon said, before moving to the side to make a call. Immediately after the call connected, Simon informed his father about what was happening here.
His father hesitated for a moment, before agreeing to send over $2 million. That was what Simon was supposed to use, to match Jack's stake.
After the call ended, Simon went towards Jack with confident steps. Then, he said, "It is a deal then. I'm also going to give $2 million, but you will have to give me this car of yours if I win."
Simon looked at the car that Jack was leaning against. He did not know the make of this car, and this was the first time that he was seeing such a car.
He did not know where Jack had taken his Lamborghini Huracan, but he did not care. In any case, as long as he won the $2 million from Jack, he would be able to buy another good vehicle.
Even though he could not tell the brand of this car, but he believed that it was definitely quite a good car. After all, it was impossible for Jack to use a useless car in a race like this, right?
He would have to get the information about this car after he got it. Even if it was a waste, he would not care, considering that he would have already won a lot.
Jack could not help but feel that Simon was a little funny. He was talking casually, as if the car that Jack had come with today was priced at just a few dollars like his own car.
The car that Jack was leaning against was a car that he had acquired from the system. It was the car that he had gotten after he had used the multiplier effect on the car that he had won the previous time against Simon.
Of course, the Lamborghini Huracan was present after the multiplier effect was applied, but Jack was not interested in it, and went ahead and sold it, after getting the required details from Simon.
Of course, Simon did not know that the car had already been sold, as he thought that Jack was simply intending to transfer the ownership of the car to himself. They had already done that, as it was part of the agreement that they had signed during the day that they had raced against each other.
Due to the multiplier effect, Jack was able to acquire this car. This car was a product that was still under research within the top research facility within this world. Jack did not know which facility it was, but still, that was what the system had said.
It might be true that a car that will still in the testing phase could be considered as dangerous, but that was not the case with the car that the system had given him. The system had already corrected all the imperfections that were there, allowing Jack to be able to drive the car in peace.
As for the value of this car, that was something that could not be compared to the ordinary vehicles at all. After all, it was a product of research from the top research facility within the world that was related to automobiles.
"Let's sign the betting agreement then." Jack commented casually, without talking about the specifics of the car.
