Additionally, a reputable local lawyer, Ronan Daane, had filed an infringement lawsuit against Genesis Games, and the court had officially accepted the case.
Adding to the turmoil, a wave of mysterious fund sell-offs triggered a sharp decline in the stock price on the Masdaq Stock Exchange.
Jack's eyebrows furrowed tightly after listening to Boris' update. He never expected so many changes to happen within these last few days.
Leslie had really pulled out all the stops, even managing to rally so many allies to his side.
From the looks of it, not only would he need to handle Genesis Games when he got out, but there was a group of people waiting for him to deal with one by one.
Soon, Jack was released.
No matter how much Mike applied pressure to him, Jack refused to confess.
Plus, Boris hired a lawyer for him. After illegally detaining Jack for a few days, Mike had no choice but to release him.
When the prison warden came for Jack, he was comfortably lying on the bed in his cell. A few of the inmates were managing his feet and back.
If they were not massaging him hard enough, Jack would slap them in the face.
When Jack saw the prison warden, he got ready to get off his bunk, only to find one of the inmates kneeling on the ground, forming a human step for him to use.
Jack was surprised to know that he was released—he thought he was going to stay here for longer.
Come to think of it, life inside the detention center was surprisingly comfortable.
The inmates sharing the same cell with him were respectful toward him, offering him the best of their food and drink. He had someone to massage his back and feet every day. When he got off the bunk, someone would bend down and offer themselves as a human step for him.
Whenever he ran out of cigarettes, someone from the outside would send him premium cigarettes. Lounging with a cigarette in his hand, he was surrounded by people eagerly serving him. He was living a life more comfortable than that of a king.
When he finally walked out of the detention center, there was no cheering crowd or firecrackers. Not a single soul was waiting for him. Only a few stray dogs wandered aimlessly near the gate. His men were either injured, crippled, or on the run. There was no one left.
When Jack was released, he immediately called Boris and discovered that Boris was taking care of Caspian.
