Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Ben's words immediately made the crowd agitated. Previously, he had clearly stated that Jack and William and the others were the same, birds of the sane feathers. Now that he was referring to Jack as a stray dog, it was obvious that he was insulting the whole group as a group or stray dogs.

Anderson and the others were from the prestigious big five families of Inchoate City. When they were fooling around, they would usually gain the respect of their peers. Even George who was from the Dante family, the family that was far bigger than the Tawal family, never treated them the way that Ben doing right now.

As for his words that, his partner for tonight was the hostess was ignored by the group the moment that he stated that Jack was a stray dog.

Although Jack's tolerance was high, there was always a limit to how much he could endure. Even back at the Alfonso mansion, his half-siblings knew their own limit. The new Jack's character very well as he had been in the Alfonso mansion since his childhood.

He was the youngest of them all and as a result, they had seen him growing up. So, although they were against him, they never did something that could make Jack angry in an open manner.

They would usually do this in secret and then wait for Jack to speculate who was the one behind it. At the end of the day, as long as Jack had no evidence that they were the culprits, there was no way that he could name them.

But now, there was someone who had straight to his face, said that he was a stray dog. And this made him angry. He could accept being teased but he could not accept a direct insult.

The temperature around him dropped drastically. Those around couldn't help but shiver the moment that they noticed that Jack's mood wasn't that good.

Even Ben felt a chill running down his spine the moment that he noticed that Jack wasn't looking good. He didn't know the reason as to why he was scared by Jack's angry expression, but, this was the fear that he experienced without knowing the reason.

As a young master of blue City, he had obviously seen many angry faces. But this time, it was the first time seeing an expressionless face, but cold eyes.

After regaining his composure, he was just about to speak when, a commotion rose among the crowd.

Everyone in the group immediately shifted their attention towards the stage. The MC was already there, as there are only a few seconds to the 5 minutes timeline that he had given.

"Now, let us welcome the host of today's banquet, Mrs. Faith!" As soon as these words flew out of the MC's mouth, the door behind the stage was opened and a very familiar lady to Jack stepped onto the stage.

Jack could still remember this lady because, she was there the two times that he had seen the lady who he thought that they shared some kind of link or fate. She was always by her side apart from today when he saw her alone by the door.

As for the type of relationship that they shared, Jack was not sure about it now. Previously she had called that girl, madam. But now, she was hosting an event in her presence. Jack could not understand at all.

"Humph! Whom do they think they can cheat? She's not the Host at all, please adjust the hostess's assistant." At this time, Ben's grumpy voice was heard.

Upon hearing his words, Jack could already guess who the hostess was. It had to be her. From Faith's attitude towards that girl, Jack could tell that she was in a lower position. And, she seemed not to be hosting the event.

As he looked at her, Jack could see that Faith was quite a beauty. In rating, she could be a 90 rated beauty. But, this was not obviously the exaggerated beauty that Anderson had mentioned before.

As if sensing Jack's question gaze, Anderson simply shrugged his shoulders. He had never seen the lady before. So, how could he know who was who?

It was also at this time that Jack noticed something among the big wigs attending. Their faces had frowns. It was obvious that they weren't expecting this at all. That told Jack immediately that, the hostess had changed and wasn't going to show up.

But, for some reason, Jack felt his heart tighten and anger filled him the moment that he thought about Ben saying that his partner was the hostess. If Faith was the assistant, it implied that, the girl, the one that Jack had met thrice, was the one that Ben was talking about.

Faith's words immediately made Jack control his anger at this moment.

"Thank you all for coming to today's banquet. I know that most of you know that I'm not the host of the event, but just a stand-in. The young miss was having an emergency for a moment and would be here for the first dance, so, you would be able to see her "

The moment that Faith said the words the first dance, the crowd began clamoring. They wondered who was going to be her partner this time.

Ben was already smug after hearing that the young miss would be coming for the first dance. Previously, he had used his connections to meet up with her. When he heard that she was going to hold a banquet on this day, he had asked for the first dance.

In the end, she didn't give him a positive reply. She had obviously refused the request. Even the moment that he was talking about her being his partner, that was all bluff. He wanted to use this to suppress Jack.

'In the end, who knew that the moment she noticed my presence in the hall, she immediately agreed to it? Tsk tsk, it seems that I'm still as charming as ever.' Ben thought to himself.

On the other hand, Jack couldn't understand his feelings at all. He had only met her three times. Neither of the times had they spoken a word to the other. But, why was he getting angered the moment that he heard that Ben, such a playboy was going to have a first dance with her?

He took a deep breath and calmed himself. He was afraid that he would end up strangling Ben to death. After all, this guy had already made him angry before and now, he was getting angry for the reasons that he didn't know.

But, this was a world where the law ruled. If he dared to go physical on Ben with so many witnesses around, it was obvious that he would end up in court.

"This banquet wasn't prepared for my young miss, as the most of you know. But, it's to open a company here in Inchoate City. This company wants to join the inchoate City economy and community. So, this banquet is being held in regards to that."

"But, I won't speak that much. I'll let the banquet continue. After the dance, I'm sure that we can finally talk about business. Thank you!" With that, Faith left the stage under the applause of the crowd.

As soon as she disappeared, music rang in the hall. The lights in the entire hall immediately dimmed down as just above the dance floor, star lights lit up.

The floor of the dance floor also lit up pale blue. The light was quite dim. In the entire hall, the multicolored starlight that came from the ceiling of the hall, directly landing on the dance floor was breathtaking.

The music that was ringing currently was a slow one. It was one that wouldn't need people to put in much effort when dancing. It was chosen due to those with old age.

As for the younger generation, this was a romantic music, time to enjoy their time with their specific partners on the dance floor.

The hostess was going to get onto the dance floor after this song reached the end. As the song went on, this was the time given to the attendees to prepare themselves for the dance.

At the table that Jack was seated with the others, the atmosphere wasn't looking that good.

William and the others could feel it. Even their own moods weren't good at all. After all, they had just joked about matching Jack with the hostess. In the next moment, it was said that she was going to dance with another person.

Had It been someone else, they could at least accept it. But, it was Ben, the scumbag, the one that was their enemy. Extremely arrogant and disdainful. A playboy and a troublemaker.

They couldn't believe that this was happening just after he'd made them angry. But at the same time, they thought of something that made them somehow relax.

This person had obviously made Jack angry. Who was Jack? He was previously a member of Alfonso family. One that, even Steve and Brenda couldn't handle hurriedly. What did this mean? It meant that Jack wasn't someone simple.

Now, Ben had offended him and had already made him angry. It was obvious that there would be consequences for his actions.

As myriad of thoughts ran through their minds, a figure walked from the door behind the stage as she headed towards the dance floor.

The curvaceous figure made some people swallow hard. Since the lights in the hall were dimmed, they couldn't see the figure's face.

But, they could already guess the extend of her beauty depending on her figure, her enchanting movements and confident steps. The crowd was forced to shut their mouths as they watched her approaching the dance floor.

When she got onto the dance floor, from time to time, as some star lights landed on her face, they could already see the beautiful face.

According to the traditions in the country, the person that was hosting an event, no matter if it was a man or a woman, they would be the ones to invite their partners if there was a first dance that was required.

Now, as the music ended, everyone apart from the ones in Jack's group, waited excitedly for the hostess to mention who the partner was.
