Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

"Maybe more than just background. He seems to have some abilities as well. After all, you can see him in the ring. And one more thing, he's the one that has just bought over my company today."

The moment that Linus heard these words, it was like an explosive had been set off in his mind. He stared at Edwin wide eyed as he asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am. Furthermore, he bought it and paid immediately in full. There was no suspense at all." Edwin felt amused by Linus's reaction. He felt good bragging about Jack.

"You mean that he paid billions of dollars on the spot? Didn't you just decide to sell that company of yours just two weeks ago? If he knew about it two weeks ago, to be able to collect over three billion dollars in just two weeks, he must have a terrifying background." Linus muttered with shock written on his face.

Edwin laughed as he said proudly, "What weeks? He only knew about it yesterday and today, he came to buy it from me." If a stranger heard how Edwin was boasting, he would think that Jack was his son.

Linus was not the only one that was shocked by Edwin's words. Since Austin was seated next to the two, he obviously heard that Jack was rich. And from his ability to be able to gather billions within a day, it was a sure bet that he was richer that he was.

As he thought how he was talking about Jack being a fighter that had been bought over by Edwin, he couldn't help but shiver. Now, he could understand why Edwin referred to Jack as Mr. It wasn't that his standards had fallen, it was just that his standards had risen as Edwin had never called him Mr before.

But at the end of it all, he simply thought of a situation where Jack lost the bet. So, it seemed that he didn't need to worry about Jack not being able to keep his far end of the deal.

….

Jack got back into the locker room under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes. But, his expression never changed at all. It wasn't like winning against Dingo was something big.

Currently, he was trying to think if there was a way that he could use to directly reach the finals. After all, the preliminaries were just a waste of time to him.

After getting back into the waiting room, he found that the way that the fighters here looked at him had changed. And, they seemed to respect him at this moment as nobody came over to disturb him.

Jack enjoyed being left alone. If he had come here with his phone, he surely would have began playing games to pass time. It was just that they didn't allow fighters to come in with the communication devices. This would prevent shady deals from happening when the matched were happening.

After all, although they might make a deal before entering the locker room, there was no way that they could know who they were going to fight against.

Jack now had decided to sleep and not waste his time watching the boring fights. After all, he didn't think that there was a person that could compete with him. The only one that aroused part of his curiosity was definitely mad lion. But even so, Jack wasn't much interested.

As he slept on his seat, he ignored the others that were called on stage to fight or were watching the matches on the screen that had been projected in the locker room.

About two hours later, just when he was getting bored, the first preliminary round ended. Jack was finally called to the stage after the second match of the second round.

The fight was simple as this time, Jack didn't want to waste too much time. He simply attacked as soon as the match began. He threw a kick towards the opponent that wanted to charge towards him.

This opponent wasn't prepared for Jack to go on offense as soon as the match began. From Jack's previous match, he had thought that Jack wouldn't be active just like before. But, it seemed that he had been greatly mistaken.

So, the only thing that he could do was to try and block the attack. So, he raised both of his arms in front of him in order to block the kick.

Bang! Boom!

The moment that Jack's foot connected with his raised arms, the guy was sent flying backwards before hitting the ground. With Jack's precise control over his strength, he had made sure that the force of the impact was enough to knock the guy out but not to badly injure him.

The host and the spectators were surprised by the scene. They hadn't expected that Jack was this strong. Strong enough to knock out a good fighter with a single attack.

The other fighters that were watching immediately held in their breaths at this moment. They couldn't help but shiver at the thought that they were going to face Jack. Furthermore, they had just mocked him for wearing a mask.

They praised themselves for not making trouble for him during the past two hours. Otherwise, they surely would have suffered a lot.

The crowd cheered for Jack as this time, they had learnt their lessons as most of them had bet on Jack winning the fight.

"From now on, Silver is going to be my idle."

"He's so strong! Just look at him, just a single attack and he defeated an opponent."

"Who was that shouting loudly that he had rigged the match with Dingo? Come out right now and let me scorn you!"

"Heh, so what if he won just now? It's not like he's the strongest fighter here, right?"

"Right your head! When have you seen another fighter winning the match by using a single attack?"

"Hey dark horse, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be jumping up and down after winning the bet?"

"I lost the bet, sob* sob*"

"How did you lose the bet when you bet on Silver?"

"Who told you that I bet on Silver?"

"….Y-you didn't?"

"Of course not. How can I be called dark horse if I bet on the popular guys that are expected to win?"

"…."

"Guys, where's that person that said that this isn't a novel where the MC is overpowered and wins in his first debut? Come and let me see how confident you are about what you said."

"Kyaah! I can't believe that I'm in a novel! Where's the author? I want to thank him for giving me this chance to appear in the novel."

"Get Lost. You're trying to look for the author when you're just an ignorable side character? I'm sure that the author doesn't even know your name?"

"Why do you care? It's not like you're not happy to be in a novel, right?"

"You two, stop blabbering nonsense there. What novel? Do you see that I'm made of ink or letters? If you're inside a novel don't bring me in."

"Now, who mentioned you? Do you even have the qualifications to appear in a novel?"

"….."

The crowd chattered about as they were mostly excited.

On the other hand, the VIP room was active at this moment.

"I never thought that he was this fierce."

"Although he's not that bulky, he sure has a lot of strength in those muscles of his."

"Hahaha, I won again. I have recovered all the money that I lost in the previous match!"

As they were chattering, a middle aged man entered the room. The moment that they saw him, those that were laughing immediately stopped as they respectfully gazed at this man.

He was Calvin, the manager of the Ultimate Arena. He was a manager but still, they gave him a lot of respect. Of course, that wasn't because of his strength, it was mainly due to the fact that he had a strong backing. The real owner of the arena was a big figure that they couldn't offend.

Upon noticing that everyone was paying attention to him, Calvin spoke. "JK Silver has shown great abilities in the previous matches. As a result, if his next match is like the one that he's just won, he would have the qualifications to continue fighting tomorrow during the semis. In other words, he will skip all the nonsense below and directly participate in the semis together with mad lion and Vulture. As for Gibby, he would start from the quarterfinals."

The moment that these words were said, the bosses here didn't seem surprised. This was what they had always been doing. Apart from saving time, they would be saving themselves from the losses that came from betting on Jack when he won the matches.

After saying his piece, Calvin walked out of the VIP room and went out to meet with Jack.

Austin on the other hand had his face already pale. After all, he had bet with Jack for ninety percent of his accumulated wealth. And, although he'd been trying to make things hard for Jack using scarred tiger, it seemed that scarred tiger hadn't made a move yet.

This baffled him. And now, just like heavens favored Jack, he was going to reach the semis as long as he won the next match.

Now, the only thing that Austin could pray for was for scarred tiger to carry out the plan at this moment, before the next round. Otherwise, he would have to depend on others during the semi-finals.

"Oh, you're already getting scared?" Edwin's mocking voice reached Austin from the side.
