Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 569 A Promise, Discord

"Actually, the reason why I came over is because I just heard that the Panthers organization is no longer present. It has been dissolved. And according to the information that I have received, you are actually the person who had taken over the resources that belonged to the Panthers organization." Johnson stated.

"I'm quite surprised that you actually came to know that I am the one who took over the resources of the Panthers organization." Jack stated as he looks at Johnson.

It might be true that during the time that he was interacting with Sylvia, going there for the transfers to be done, many people from the Panthers organization had seen him.

But still, he had never spoken in front of everyone that he was the one that was going to take over the resources that belonged to the Panthers organization. For that reason, the majority of the low level members of the organization did not really know that he was the one who had taken over everything from the Panthers organization.

As for Johnson, according to the position that he was holding, it was clear that he was not a low level member of the organization. But nevertheless, he was not present during the time that Jack made several visits to the Panthers organization.

And from the fact that Johnson was only coming over right now, claiming that he had just received information that the Panthers organization had already been dissolved, it was clear that this guy was not even paying much attention to what was going on outside.

Well, Jack expected something like this from this guy. After all, he liked to stay inside his workshop, where he carried out several craftsmanship experiments and research, while waiting for a person that was going to bring him a task that was quite challenging for him to try it.

"To say the truth, with the position that I held within the Panthers organization, getting information about something like this was definitely almost impossible unless it was revealed to me by members of the organization that held high positions.

But still, with the skills that I possess, it is obvious that I possess several connections within the organization. But the Panthers organization is not the only organization that I do possess connections with. Currently, I am the best craftsman present within the entire stronghold.

So, it is normal that members of the other organizations would come to look for me in order for me to craft something for them. And due to that, I have already formed several connections. So, through this connections, I was able to get the information." Johnson explained.

Jack of course understood what Johnson was trying to imply. In any case, ever since they had come to this stronghold, it was clear that Johnson was the best craftsman that was present in the entire Stronghold. But, something like that changed long ago, a few days ago to be precise, after Jack gained the intermediate level craftsmanship.

But of course, he was not going to tell Johnson something like that. At the end of the day, it was not as if Johnson had asked about it.

"Alright. I hope you don't mind telling me the reason why you came to look for me after gaining that information. As long as I know, I do believe that nobody just you out of the place that you were doing your works, right?" Jack asked.

The moment that he took over every asset that was previously possessed by the Panthers organization, he made sure that he informed Sylvia that Johnson was not supposed to be disturbed.

And actually, this was the reason why Johnson only received information after he came out of the workshop. Otherwise, there would have definitely been someone who would have gone over to inform him about what was happening right now.

"That's actually true. But the main reason why I am here is to ask about the deal that we made previously. Currently, I can see that I underestimated you. It seems that you possess not only great potential, but you also possess great power.

Due to that reason, I do believe that you will no longer be staying within this small Stronghold. So, the reason why I am here today is to ask if at the time that you would be going out of this stronghold, can you take me along with you?" Johnson asked as he looked at Jack seriously.

Jack was a little surprised by the analyzing skills of this person. Nevertheless, it was understandable that someone like Johnson whose family was from a big stronghold initially was definitely someone that could possess such kind of intelligence.

In any case, it was not that easy to be able to make a small organization within a small stronghold like this one to submit everything that they possessed, unless the person possessed enough strength.

And looking at Jack and his group, all of them were young. And since that was the case, it was clear that they were definitely not going to stay here. They still possessed great potential, something that needed to be nurtured.

And Johnson believed that for them to be able to be nurtured well, they had to go to the big strongholds. And in fact, although he did not really say it out loud, he believed that Jack and his group were actually from a big stronghold.

Otherwise, how was it possible that Jack possessed a blueprint that was way more advanced than he had ever seen before, and he possessed such great power?

After contemplating for a moment, Jack looked at Johnson and said, "I've got no problem with that. I can take you there, but you will have to depend on yourself after we reach there. But in any case, I'll make sure that I fulfill the end of the deal that we made previously."

Johnson felt gratified. Although it was true that Jack had said that he had to depend on himself, but that was not something that he was afraid of.

In any case, to him, as long as he managed to reach the big strongholds, he was sure that he could be capable of improving. And after improving, he was definitely going to be able to gain his source of income, something that was going to make him stable enough to survive inside a big stronghold.

As for the matter of Jack taking care of him, he did not even think about it. At the end of the day, although it was true that the books that he had handed over to Jack possessed incredible knowledge, but they were just the basic versions.

So, to a master craftsman, those books really didn't hold much value. So, exchanging something like that for access into a bigger stronghold, that was definitely a big gain for him.

As for his enemies managing to find him, that was almost impossible as long as he kept a low profile. In any case, it was not that easy for the organizations in different strongholds to move to the other strongholds without good enough reasons.

And if they went to another stronghold, they definitely would not just start going around, looking for someone. So, he believed that with the protection from Jack, due to the agreement, and the access into a big stronghold, he would definitely be able to gain something, and later on, he would be able to take revenge on those enemies of his.

But there was one thing that he was worried about. He looked at Jack and asked, "What big stronghold would you be going to?"

"About that, I'm sorry but I cannot tell you about it right now. Nevertheless, you'll know it before we leave. At that time, you will decide whether you are going to come with us or not." Jack shook his head as he responded.

Of course he could already tell what Johnson was thinking about. But, he was not going to reveal information about him planning to go to the Devin Stronghold right now. At the end of the day, if this information reached Sylvia, perhaps this lady might react explosively to the news.

And if she decided not to help him with his plans, then it was going to be a little bit difficult for him to be able to complete the mission that he had been granted by the system by the end of the remaining less than 30 days.

Although he was a little disappointed, Johnson simply nodded his head. At the end of the day, it was good enough that Jack was going to reveal the information to him before they left. In case it was the same stronghold that he came from, then he would definitely not go.

"Okay then. I'll be on my way. I was just about to have a breakthrough in a certain research that I was doing. I do believe that after this short break that I have taken, I will be able to do that." Johnson stated as he began turning around.

"No problem at all. Before we leave, I will give you information in advance, perhaps two days before I decide to leave this place. But let me give you a heads up in advance, it will definitely not be more than a week before we leave this place." Jack waved his hand as he stated.

"I got that." Johnson responded before he strutted out of the building.

"Jack, I do believe that currently I am capable of defeating that old man when it comes to pure skills." Celine stated after Johnson departed.

"Well, what do you expect? You are a genius after all." Jack responded with a smile.

"Get lost…" Celine responded jokingly.

And just like that, the two of them began joking around as they continued trying to produce the chip that was required for the communication device.

…

In another side of Stronghold number 17…

Patricia looked at Antonio furiously and asked, "Are you really sure about this?"

"What do you think? Do you think that I'm going to joke about something like this?" Antonio asked back. From the expression on his face together with what could be seen in his eyes, it was clear that at this point, he was completely furious.
