Bountiful Rewards

"Jack, why didn't you tell us that you're good at racing?" As soon as Brenda arrived before him, she asked with a hint of frustration in her voice. They had previously tainted Jack that he was an amateur in racing only to be baldly defeated.

There was a gap of more that nine minutes! That wasn't something that an amateur could do. If Jack was an amateur, then what could Steve be called?

"Not like I had to tell you everything about me, right? Furthermore, you never asked." Jack shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

Brenda stared at him with narrowed eyes, trying to figure something out. But in the end, she was forced to retrieve her gaze as she could see nothing on Jack's indifferent face.

"Humph!" Steve, who was standing beside Brenda only snorted before turning his face away from Jack. He felt that he had been embarrassed by Jack. Although he was angry, he knew that there was nothing that he could do at the moment.

He had previously stayed arrogantly that Jack wasn't supposed to participate in the race because he was an amateur. Who knew that he'd misspoken? It was supposed to be that, Jack wasn't supposed to participate in the race because he was a driving deity!

"Then, did you get your money from racing?" Brenda asked.

"This is my first time participating in a racing competition." Jack replied bluntly.

"Who will believe that?" Brenda asked with raised brows.

Jack just shrugged and said, "Not my problem if you believe it or not. Not like I care."

"Y-you!" For the first time, Brenda showed her anger. But all the same, Jack didn't care. The only way that this half-sister of his could cause problems for him would be by making sure that the stores that he had opened failed.

But, who could resist the temptations of money? Jack had money, that was something that he won't be lacking in the future. With the system, why would he be afraid?

"You should keep your end of the bet." Jack said before he stood up and headed towards the management office of the racing competition.

After getting there, Jack received his rewards. All the money that was supposed to be given to the winners as the prize were all given to the management. In this way, there was no way that the winner of the race would fail to receive what he/she deserved.

As soon as the manager in charge saw Jack approaching, he got out of the office with a smile plastered on his face. He was really enthusiastic about Jack. As a racing competition manager, he was obviously looking for talent that could be signed by his company.

"Mr. Jack, I am Peter Hanson, the manager of Off-track Racers Inchoate branch." He extended his hand to greet Jack.

Jack nodded as he shook the manager's hand. Then, the manager led Jack into his office. The office was nothing special. It only had the important things like a computer and a cabinet for files, which were required for the running of the racing competition.

After sitting, Peter spoke, "Mr. Jack, I would like to congratulate you on winning the competition. You're are a professional. How long have you engaged in racing?"

"Thanks. As for how long I've been racing, this is my first racing competition." Jack replied sincerely.

But, Peter smiled meaningfully, thinking that Jack didn't want to talk about that. So, he changed the topic, "As we're speaking, the transfers for the prize money is being transferred to your account."

In reply, Jack simply nodded as there was nothing that could be said there.

"On the other hand, would you like to join us, Off-track Racers as a genius racer under us? We'll provide you with all the support that you'll need to enhance your skills. As for the salary and other benefits, you'll not have to worry about them. You'll be provided with the best that our company can offer." Peter went on to try and invite Jack to join them.

If Jack agreed to this, then, not only would he be promoted, his salary would also be drastically increased. After all, a raving genius like Jack was rare to find.

"I am sorry but racing is just a hobby and not something that I would like to dedicate my time to," Jack replied. What a joke! Why would he race under another person's company when he could start his own?

With the system, there was no way that he was going to lack money to start a business. What's more, he would never suffer loses as the income multiplier by a hundred times was already enough to cover the loses.

Seeing that Jack had no intention of joining, Peter felt dejected. But, he still smiled and said, "If you ever change your mind, you can contact me. Here's my business card." As he said that, he handed Jack his business card.

Jack accepted the card. It wasn't bad to start forming connections. After all, money wasn't enough as there were things that a person couldn't acquire even if he had money.

Although the manager here had a low position, there was no problem starting down to climb upwards. As for changing his mind to participate in racing competitions, he would have to forget about that.

At this time, he felt his phone vibrating. Taking it out, he found a bank message.

{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.]

Jack was surprised that he had received $1M. After all, according to what he knew, he was supposed to receive $800K But, what about the extra $200K?

As if sensing the question in his gaze, Peter smiled and said, "Since this is your first time, you may have not known this. But, the first prize is $200K. That's what our Off-track Racers gives out. After all, you spend $5K to register for the race. So, you'll have to be rewarded. As for the $800K, that's what those rich second generation agree on. It's like a bet."

Jack finally nodded in understanding. If they were just going to receive the registration fee and give back nothing to the winner, then, nobody would be willing to spend so much money to race.

He had also received several system prompts that he would have to check out after leaving the mountain. But for the income, he had never expected that he would receive so much money from racing. 100M dollars, this was an amount of money that he'd thought that he'd earn only after a month or so.

But, now that he'd gotten this amount of money, he could as well increase the speed at which his foundation was being built. And, the materials for building the foundation would have to be the best.

First thing first, he would have to purchase a commercial building. Then, he would see if there were shares that could be bought. After all, 100M dollars wasn't the last amount of money that he would be having in this lifetime.

The more he invested, the more he earned. Now, he had to go back and see the Eurocopter EC135 that he had been rewarded with by the system.

Walking out of the office, Jack found that George was talking to William and the others. Of course, Ismael didn't seem to like George but all the same, he just stood there, listening and bit saying a word.

When they saw him, the group walked towards him as they congratulated him. "Congratulations Jack." William spoke.

"Jack, you said that you were a beginner in racing. But, we've seen the replay of your cat. Your skills are at the professional level," Anderson complained from the side.

"Anderson, just beat it. You were not even closer to the second or third place. You were in the seventh place. So, stop complaining and let us, those who were closer to him talk." A burly guy spoke. He was from the Radvon family.

"Heh, you're talking and you we're ahead of me in just five seconds." Anderson sneered.

"Jack, where did you train how to drive and do those drifts?" Kelly asked. She was from Sopon family.

"I trained myself." But, Jack's reply made the group stare at him with strange gazes. Then, they laughed at him before waving at him, telling him not to tell them if he didn't want. What's more, they even claimed that he'd signed a confidential agreement.

This made Jack puzzled. 'What's up with these guys. Nobody believes it when I speak the truth? Guess I'll start lying as they believe lies to be the truth anyway.'

After interacting with the group for a period of time, Jack finally left with George. Although there were many youths there, Jack had become superficial. The group had invited him to a banquet in two days time.

Since he wanted to form connections, he would obviously go. He could get a chance to purchase some shares from the big wigs of Inchoate that would be attending the banquet.

As for Brenda and Steve, he didn't see them after coming back from Peter's office. It seemed that they had already left. But, what Jack knew was that they wouldn't give up. Although they would not be coming to Inchoate city, that didn't apply to his other half siblings and cousins.

But, worried he wasn't. There were other things that he could be worried about, like the girl that was still tormenting his mind. But, all the same, one thing at a time.

As he drove the Bentley Continental GT out of the mountain, the crowd of fans hadn't stopped cheering his name. Furthermore, the video of his stunts when driving were posted in the internet. The result was obviously pleasing.

"George, I can see that you and those five seem to know each other well. What's your real background?" Jack asked as soon as they left Mount Bright.
