"It has already been two tis that soone said sothing about looking like soone. It has already been long enough for to try and look for information, but I believe that you might enlighten about this." Jack said indifferently as he looked at the old man.
The mont that Jack asked this question, the old man looked at him strangely. It was as if he was asking if Jack was joking with him or he was trying to play a prank on him.
Jack frowned the mont that he realized that the old man was not responding, but instead, he was throwing him a gaze that he could not understand.
"What is wrong? Are you going to give the answers or are you going to continue staring at like that?" Jack asked in a dissatisfied voice.
The old man finally ca back to his senses and looked at Jack for a while before responding, "You know, even though it is true that you are actually stronger than , I do believe that this is not a question that I am supposed to answer. Why don't you give another question so that I can give you answers?"
Jack's expression beca even more ugly the mont that he had these words. This ti, as his aura began leaking out of his body, he looked at the old man and asked once again, "Are you going to give the answers, or are you going to make force you say them?"
The mont that the old man sensed the pressure that was suddenly on him, he realized that Jack was actually not joking with him. Even though he believed that the question that Jack had asked was actually stupid, he still decided to respond anyway.
The shadow organization had already suffered before, and it was already struggling to recover the losses that it had suffered all this while. Now was definitely not the ti for it to continue suffering any other losses.
"Hah! I don't really know the reason why you are asking such a question, but the answer is completely obvious. The person that you look alike with is definitely your mother. Even though it is true that your features are more masculine, but, there are so details that cannot be hidden." The old man let out a sigh before responding helplessly.
Jack: "???"
Jack looked at the old man for a while, and when he realized that the old man was not giving any other response other than that, his expression continuously turned strange.
"Old man, this is obviously not the ti to joke around. Perhaps if you want to continue joking, I might as well go outside and kill a few people while you continue joking, and I will only stop at the mont that you are finally going to be serious!" Jack said coldly.
Jack was not the only one who had reacted in that way to the old man's response. After all, what the old man had simply said was sothing that both of them knew about.
Since they were related by blood, most of the tis, children would always look like their parents.
"What do you an by that? Or is it that there is actually soone else that you look like? Perhaps your brother? Or your father?" The old man reacted confusedly when Jack said those words.
To him, the question that Jack had asked was sothing that was all about logic. After all, if soone saw a person's twin, that person would always say that they looked alike.
Additionally, there were always monts where people say that a certain person looked like their father or mother. For that reason, the old man didn't find anything wrong in what he had said. But now, Jack was actually thinking that he was joking.
Could it be that Jack was just looking for a reason so that he could begin massacring the shadow organization? There was no way that the old man was going to agree to sothing like that, even if it killed him.
Jack's eyes narrowed and he looked at the old man and asked once again, "You know, there's sothing that I find strange. There is no way that you can say that I look like soone else, if you have never seen that person. So, tell , have you ever t my mother for you to be able to say that I look like her?"
"Of course I have! It is not like I t her once or twice!" The old man retorted.
It was only after he had said this that he suddenly realized that, Jack was actually in the dark about all these. And that was actually the reason as to why he had been asking such a question, while he on the other hand thought that Jack was actually joking about the matter.
"You t with my mother?" Jack asked with surprise in his voice. At the sa ti, he couldn't help but try thinking about any ti that he had found that his mother had gone out.
But, no matter how many tis he tried thinking about it, there was not even a single ti that he had co to know that his mother had gone away from ho.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that, if what the old man was saying was true, then perhaps his mother would have been moving during the ti that he was in school.
"What business did my mother have with you?" Jack asked once again. At this mont, he really didn't understand what kind of business his mother who was a normal person, was actually having with a group of powerful people like this old man and the shadow organization.
"And, please, don't tell that you were actually blackmailing her or sothing…" Jack went ahead and warned in advance.
The old man looked at Jack with an incredulous gaze. At the sa ti, he began laughing, without even caring about the fact that Jack was looking at him with a piercing gaze.
"Blackmail her? That is sothing that even if I want to do, there is no way that I can. Instead, it should actually be the other way around. She was the one who was actually blackmailing the shadow organization!" The old man said in displeasure.
Jack was completely surprised the mont that he heard the old man's words. His mother was the one who was blackmailing them? How was that possible? After all, according to him, since his mother was just a normal person, then, in case she had anything against the shadow organization, then they could have easily dealt with her.
"I will give you a warning. You better stop slandering my mother's na, otherwise, you will not like what I will do." Being reminded of his mother's mories, even though he was able to get a hold of himself, still, he was completely displeased by the fact that there was actually soone slandering his mother even though she was already gone.
"What slandering are you talking about?! My organization has already suffered several losses, the ones that cannot be recovered easily because of your mother. And now, you actually think that I am lying to you? What benefits do I get by lying to you?" The old man questioned back.
Jack was just about to burst in anger when suddenly, Celine grabbed his hand. The mont that she did that, Jack finally cald down. At the sa ti, his mind began working once again.
"If what you are saying is true, then why don't you tell what kind of business my mother had with you?" Jack asked after a mont of silence.
The old man looked at Jack and shook his head. In the end, he said, "That is sothing that I cannot tell you even if I want to. I signed a contract that I was not going to reveal the business between the two of us."
The mont that he said those words, Jack began getting frustrated. After all, this was not the first ti that he was actually being prevented from receiving information, simply because of rules and contracts that these people that he was looking for information from, were in.
His brows began twitching, as he silently looked at the old man. Even though there was no way that he could know if what the old man was saying was actually true, there was no way that he was going to risk asking sothing that was prohibited, and forcing the old man to his death.
He himself knew about the contract, as this was sothing that Samantha had already signed, and he had already received the information about it from the system the mont that it was multiplied.
And now, there was still a lot of information that he needed to extract from this old man. Since he was previously a mber of the stronghold, there was much information that he possessed.
"During what ti did my mother do business with you?" Jack asked.
"I am sorry, but that is sothing that is still within the confidential clause of the contract." The old man replied.
"Did my mother ever ntion during the businesses that the two of you were engaging in?"
"I am sorry, but that is sothing that is still within the confidential clause of the contract."
"Does the business that the two of you are dealing in involving anything about the strongholds?"
"I am sorry, but that is sothing that is still within the confidential clause of the contract."
"Did the business between the two of you involve anything about ? Or is there information about what my mother was dealing with?"
"I am sorry, but…" The old man was just about to continue with the sa statent, when suddenly, the temperatures in the room suddenly dropped as Jack stood on his feet.
He took a few steps closer to the old man and looked him directly in the eyes. "To hell with all this and that in the confidential clause of the contract. I want information, anything that can be revealed about my mother, and I don't want any gas."
