Chapter 38: How much is this apartment?

[A/N: Chapter 15 was edited/rewritten]Jack decided to drive slowly because Emma was sleeping; his car was comfortable and smooth enough that Emma could continue to sleep.

After arriving home, Jack woke Emma up. She was surprised to find herself home, rubbing her eyes like a baby as she made her way to the elevator.

It was 5 p.m. in the afternoon, and Jack and Emma had not eaten anything, leaving them hungry. Observing Emma, Jack assumed she was not in the mood to cook.

Jack, after reaching his apartment, called the nearest pizza place. H'ugo's Pizza-Bar-Lounge was a great place to enjoy truffle pizza.

Jack ordered two big-size ones; he didn't know about Emma, but he was sure he could finish one by himself, and of course he ordered beer with it.

After arriving home, Jack concentrated on his studies; he had missed some classes, so he spent his time watching the classes online and taking notes.

After 20 minutes, the pizza delivery guy arrived. Jack purposefully went downstairs to collect the pizza, as his wallet was empty and he needed to withdraw some cash from his bank account.

When Jack arrived downstairs, he noticed the delivery guy wearing a black T-shirt with the name of the shop he works for printed on it.

Jack told him to follow Jack. The guy naturally followed Jack. Jack went to the nearest ATM booth and withdrew 12000€.

The pizza bill was 120€; apparently the place was expensive.

Jack tipped the guy 30€ and went upstairs. His wallet was so big that Jack looked at the wallet and smiled. This was actually one of his hobbies: to make his wallet as fat as possible with money.

Jack then went to his apartment, where, after enjoying pizza and beer, he and Emma diligently studied.

Jack was a studious person, and he studied long. Jack has four bedrooms; one was given to Emma, and the biggest one was his bedroom, and there's one streaming room.

The last one was for studying; Jack specially made sure it remained only for studying and not the storage room.

Jack enjoys reading a variety of genres. Even when he didn't have enough money, he continued to buy books. He currently owns approximately 200 books, most of which are stored in Ms. Stephanie's small apartment.

Jack thought it was about time he brought all those back, then he and Emma took a break.

After watching some YouTube, Jack wanted to return to studies.

"Emma, let's go; we still need to study more." Jack smiled and stood up from the couch, thinking they were taking a brief break.

"What do you mean?" Emma gazed at Jack, her expression bewildered.

"What I mean is, we didn't finish the last chapter, and there's nothing to learn." Jack looked at her with a face that almost said, 'Are you stupid?'

"No, I don't study that much; in fact, I don't enjoy studying." Emma dismissed Jack's idea of continuing the study session. seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Jack didn't mind. He knew Emma wasn't a good student anyway, so he continued his studies until it was 9 p.m.

Cracking his neck Jack got up and felt good after increasing his knowledge so much. 'Books are awesome.'

Jack entered the dining room, which was connected to the kitchen, and noticed a covered plate. Upon opening it, he discovered his dinner had already been prepared.

Emma wasn't a very good cook, but she always cooked at home to make it healthier, and if Jack was home, she always cooked something for him.

After finishing his meal, Jack went to sleep. The next day, he went to the university as usual and continued his studies. With the semester approaching, Jack didn't want to lose his focus by doing anything else.

It took Jack around 36 days to finish his first semester, and he was so focused that he almost forgot about his 'System'. However, the System did not forget Jack.

When the final exam day concluded and the classes ceased for approximately two months, Jack got into his car and waited for Emma.

He had a silver card in his car; he wasn't using much money these days.

As Jack was waiting for Emma, he suddenly remembered and said in his mind, 'System'.

A glassy panel appeared in front of him. Seeing the glassy panel after so long, Jack smiled.

[Level 2: One breath = 2 euros]

[Use 1,000,000€ to level up]

[Balance: 3,600,000 €]

Jack gulped at the amount. Jack was astonished by the amount he had saved after not using it for almost one month and five days.

" Hello, You look like you've seen a ghost." Emma slid into the front passenger seat with a familiar gesture.

The rumor that Ryan was spreading started to disappear along with Ryan; Jack has never seen Ryan after that day.

There was a new rumor on campus that Emma and Jack were dating; many people asked them if it was true, and neither of them denied the claim.

Due to their popularity, people would often ask Emma and Jack out on dates. When they learned that they were dating, no one bothered them, so they strategically chose not to deny it.

After Emma sat in the car and fastened her seat belt, Jack started the car. Jack didn't tell Emma that he's taking her to a restaurant for lunch.

Because the entire month was filled with stress, Jack and Emma rarely went out to eat; instead, Jack would almost always buy groceries and Emma would cook at home.

Jack was so busy with studying that he barely got to play games and stream for an hour or two every now and then.

His PayPal balance was now 25K€; he wanted to transfer all the funds to his bank account; his intention was to pay taxes on what he earns from the streaming only.

Jack turned the car left when he should have turned it right to go home. Emma looked at the road with a confused expression.

"Are we not going home?" Emma asked with confusion.

"Nope, we're eating outside today. It's been a while since I've eaten something—I mean somewhere else than home." Jack sweated because he almost said, 'It's been a while since I've eaten something good.'.

Emma smiled and nodded. Her health was improving as a result of Jack's genuine care for her; he had taken her in and was providing for her, and she now rarely says no to Jack.

Jack guided Emma to the renowned Dallmayr delicatessen in Munich.

Jack has secured a table for them at the Alois Dallamayr restaurant. Jack thought that it's a nice idea, so save some money.

When they entered the restaurant, the entire space was a blend of modern and medieval design, making it look like a work of art.

After their lunch, which cost about 1000€, they returned to their home. After returning home, Jack busied himself again in the study room, a common practice these days; after returning home, Jack would always be in the study room.

*Dingdong* *Dingdong*

While studying, Jack heard the ring of his calling bell. Going to his door, he saw from his display that it was placed by the side of the door.

It was the landlord, Daniel; he came to maybe collect this month's rent, so Jack. Opened the door and welcomed him.

Emma didn't come out of her room; Jack just sat with the landlord in the living room.

"Jack, it's been a while." Daniel smiled at Jack; his face was not looking good.

"Yes, it has been a while; you seemed to be stressed." Jack asked with concern.

"Well, I can't hide it from you; this is my mother's apartment, as well as the one where my father resides. My father is fucking my wife in that apartment, so, sigh!" Daniel sighed with sadness.

"Yeah, I've seen them; well, she doesn't deserve you," Jack tried to console him.

"Well, don't worry about me; I am going to sell this apartment. With how things are going, I am going to sell this and divorce that bitch." Daniel was resolved to divorce Emily.

"Alright relax, I'll get my phone first and tell you this month's rent." Jack stood up and went to his room to get his phone.

Jack received a copy of the rent payment on his phone after using his phone app to make the payment.

As Daniel wanted to get up because his business here was finished, Jack suddenly asked, "How much are you asking for this apartment?"

Daniel stopped and looked at Jack from head to toe; seeing Jack's attire and the aura around him, Daniel sat back down.

"Well, I was asking for 1100€ per square foot, and this apartment is actually 3450€," Daniel said.

Jack calculated the price, and it was astonishing: 3,795,000 €.

Jack felt tempted; an apartment in this prime location was a worthy investment, and he doesn't have to pay rent ever.

"So?? Are you interested?" Daniel asked.

"I'll call you later to let you know," Jack said.

"Alright boy, Let me know if such a decent boy buys my mother's apartment. That would be very good." Daniel looked up devotedly, then left the apartment.

Jack called Stephanie for advice. Since Stephanie owned properties in Munich and might be involved in real estate, Jack thought it would be beneficial to consult her.
