Flynn was terrified and he hastily said, "I'll give you leverage over me. You can use it to make me do whatever you want. Please, spare me."
His words were filled with desperation and pleading.
Jack finally let Flynn down, but he was still so scared that he looked like he'd seen a ghost. His face was as white as a sheet, and he was panting heavily.
Jack sneered at the sight. "I'm sending someone to get dirt on you right now. You have an hour to comply, or you'll regret it."
Flynn trembled as he agreed. Thus, Jack left with his men.
Later, Caspian and his men raided Flynn's dorm and struck gold in his computer files. The dirt they dug up on him was so deep that Flynn could face serious backlash.
Seeing the information he obtained, Jack was thrilled. Now, Flynn couldn't escape his control no matter how defiant he tried to be.
After leaving the hospital, Jack was in high spirits. He treated Caspian and the others to a feast and generously paid for them to relax at a spa. After they rested, they headed straight for the third-floor lounge.
In the following days, Flynn stopped bothering Jack as expected.
Oliver, on the other hand, had repeatedly reached out to Jack. However, Jack wasn't keen on becoming a professional player, leaving the former disappointed.
Conversely, Bella didn't contact Jack again. Their relationship seemed to have fizzled out without a word.
Jack felt a little downcast, but he understood that their relationship had been a mistake from the start.
He had even tried to contact Phoebe but eventually gave up. She had become so outstanding, and the gap between them had grown too wide. Perhaps their conversation on the basketball court had been just empty words.
Even within the same university and faculty, they were destined to be mere acquaintances.
Yet, Jack refused to be defeated. He knew he still had a lot to accomplish and many goals to achieve. He would continue to work hard, improve himself, and conquer whatever obstacles lay ahead.
The Calisota region's singing competition finals were just around the corner. Luca, the region's most promising contestant, was about to face his biggest challenge yet.
Eyewitnesses reported that student council members found many banned appliances in the female dorms. In fact, there were so many that inspectors had to use baskets to carry them out.
The previous incident at the basketball match subtly shifted how the female residents of the shared dorm room felt about Jack. Their attitudes toward him began to change. They began visiting his dorm more often and chatted with him, even going as far as joking around.
Jack's impressive performance on the basketball court had left a strong impression on them. It was obvious they had developed a crush on him.
Meanwhile, Jack was busy with his projects. As the Bloody Dawn modifications improved, his income grew, and he started developing other small games. He was also working on his third song, hoping to build on the success of the first two and create another hit.
Late one night, deep in thought as he was composing his next song, Jack was startled by a knock at the door.
He opened it to find Amelia standing there with a book in her hand. Fresh from the shower, her hair cascaded down her back, her cheeks rosy with warmth.
Jack was momentarily stunned by her beauty.
"Jack, where are the others?" Amelia asked softly.
