Louis felt absolutely mortified that he had even planned to give guidance to Jack earlier. The only silver lining in the entire situation was that Jack probably had not heard what he had been discussing with Zeta and her friends. If he did overhear their conversation, Louis would be utterly humiliated.
What Louis needed to do was flatter Jack, there was no valid reason for him to offer Jack any guidance.
Jack was completely unaware of what Louis was thinking, so he just smiled in response. He then followed Samuel and Louis toward the private room.
Ruth, Zeta, and the others had witnessed the entire scene as it unfolded before their eyes. They wore shocked expressions, their eyes wide and their jaws slack.
Zeta's eyes were nearly bulging out of her head when she asked, "Did I hear them right? I thought I heard them call him the founder of Haven Net. Are my ears playing tricks on me?"
Ruth and William shook their heads, their eyes as wide as saucers. Zeta hadn't misheard at all because they had heard the exact same thing. Jack's real identity had once again exceeded all their expectations.
Zeta's tone was robotic when she said, "Ruth, I want… Could you get us an autograph from him?
Another woman stammered, "If… if you could get us his contact information, that would be great!"
It was hard for them to believe that someone as young as Jack was not only the founder of Genesis Games, but also the founder of Haven Net. It sounded like something straight out of a fairytale!
Ruth's eyes were sparkling. She thought that Jack was truly a treasure. The revelations that came one after the other was much too shocking.
Although Haven Net wasn't public-listed yet, it was already a massive corporation that had endless potential. Jack's addition into their circle would be extremely beneficial to all of them. His impact would most likely cause waves not only in Alnewgo, but also in Chopington before spreading to the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, Jack was also willing to form connections with these business tycoons. He had reached the point in his career where other than money, the most important thing he had to work on was expanding his network of connections.
If he continued to forge his path forward alone, he would ultimately be held back by the limitations of a single person's power. However, if he added the authority of this influential group of men to the pool of resources he already possessed from Haven Net and Genesis Games, Jack was sure that it wouldn't be long before he could cement his position among the greats of Iselva's business circle.
Should everything proceed smoothly, there should be no obstacle for Jack to include himself into their circle. However, just as they were discussing what position Jack would take up in their group, a wrench was thrown into their plans.
