Chapter 95: The Real Motive.
"What's that? Show us," Heinrich said.
"Alright, wait." The middle-aged man stood up and went inside his apartment. The inner room was, although covered with walls, a person can see the huge safe inside.
Jack, seeing the safe, was flabbergasted; the thing was huge. The middle-aged man slowly opened it.
"Surprised? This man here is a collector; he collects from everywhere in the world. Once he even presented me with a head of an ancient lizard, "Heinrich smiled and said.
Jack rolled his eyes; today he was trying to be low-key, you know, some days when you don't have the energy to argue.
As Jack was listening to the bullshit of Heinrich, the middle-aged man came with a box that was white-colored; he was grinning while walking towards them.
A middle-aged man sat down on the sofa with the box in his hand and placed the box on the tea table in front of him.
Jack looked curious about the box; the box was white, and there were many stars in the box. There was also a logo that read "J&Co.".
"This is a masterpiece, Sir. I am presenting you the Astronomia Solar Constellations White Gold." The middle-aged man grinned while introducing the watch.
"Stop grinning; you're making me sick," Heinrich exclaimed with disgust.
"Hehe." The middle-aged man didn't mind Hienrich; he was just grinning foolishly.
Jack took the watch in his hand, and it looked super good. The watch looked like a shining little solar system; he even wore the watch to check it suited him. As he was wearing the watch, the middle-aged man looked at Heinrich; after Heinrich nodded, he calmed down.
"I like it. How much?" Jack directly asked; he was not in the mood for chit-chat.
Four million, only four million," the "middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Alright," Jack said this, taking out his card to pay, but this time Heinrich stopped him in the process.
Jack looked at Heinrich questioningly.
"Boy, this will be my gift to you," Heinrich said this, took Jack out, and left the apartment. As he was leaving the apartment, he looked at the middle-aged man who was smiling.
"Take your payment from the receptionist tomorrow." Saying this, he left with Jack, who was bewildered and confused about everything.
After shopping, Mr. Reimann took Jack to Eisbachwelle. It's a beach; there was water and a boat.
The boat looked quite comfy and small; it looked like a perfect spot to have lunch or dinner.
"Nice, isn't it?" Heinrich asked, while he was walking towards the boat, which was two stories tall and looked expensive.
"Yeah, it's good." Jack nodded his head and followed Heinrich.
After sitting down at a huge dining table, Heinrich ordered some food. For both of them, Jack didn't mind; he was actually here for Island; he can give a little time to this old man.
"So? You're going to buy an island?" Heinrich looked Jack in the eyes and asked.
"Yes, sir, I plan on buying one," Jack told the truth; this man will get this information anyway.
"I see. So what is your purpose? May I ask?" Heinrich placed the napkin on his lap.
"Well, I want it to be a little secure haven for me; I want to do research and stuff." Jack didn't hide his intentions.
"Alright, Let me ask you, You're a Raco, aren't you?" Heinrich suddenly asked Jack a question that he had stumbled on.
Jack thought before speaking this time because this was a serious thing.
"Yes, how do you know?" Jack asked back.
"Well, in the airport, after you displayed your little power, I was suspecting you." Heinrich smiled and ate the food that was just served.
Jack also took a fork and spoon and started eating alongside Heinrich.
"Are you a powerful one?" Heinrich asked Jack while eating.
"What?" Jack looked up and met Heinrich's eyes.
"Are you a powerful Raco? In that community I mean?"
"I am so-so," Jack replied.
"Alright, that's good enough," Heinrich said, then ate the lunch.
Both men didn't talk much after that; Heinrich took Jack to his office.
"My family, although very old, we didn't believe in Raco. We never got involved with them; even my father avoided them like a plague. But the world is changing, slowly but surely. Like yesterday, for example, in Berlin, there were flying robbers who robbed the bank," Heinrich said, then sat down on his chair.
"I need your help, Jack, just like you need mine. How about you protect my family as a guardian, and I buy you a perfect island of your dreams?" Heinrich proposed Jack.
So that's the real motive? Aye, this old sure is shrewd.
"Alright, Let's make a deal, but not like this. I can't be your guardian; I'll think something about this. After all, I have to care about Yana," Jack said.
"Yes, you have to care about her. Ahaha, alright, I will find a decent island for you." Heinrich stood up and shook hands with Jack.
"I need that island as soon as possible; we don't have much time. We have to be prepared. Buy a bigger island," Jack said; he wanted many buildings on that island to do research and stuff.
"Alright, I'll call you once I get a perfect island, but why don't we have much time?" Heinrich asked.
"Apparently, there is something coming towards us fast, maybe an apocalypse or worse; I don't know." Jack shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright, I will see to it." Heinrich looked serious about it.
Jack then left for his home in his Cayenne Turbo GT. The car was smooth, but the problem was his height.
Jack was tall, and the car felt compact; there was no room for moving around for Jack.
Reaching home in the afternoon, Jack saw Emma sitting in the living room while reading a magazine.
She smiled when she saw Jack; she tried to get up but almost immediately fell towards the ground. Jack used his power a little to move fast towards Emma and held her in his hand.
