Today, however, Wendy met with Patrick on behalf of Pentime Group and expressed an interest in acquiring shares in Drakengard Games.
The specifics regarding investment amounts and share distribution still required further negotiation.
After dinner, Jack planned to take a taxi back, but Patrick happened to be driving out and invited him to return to the company to handle some matters together.
…
Jack drove the Bentley toward the campus.
Despite it being ten at night, the streets near the university remained lively. Young men and women strolled in groups, some sneaking into secluded corners for a kiss.
Occasionally, passersby cast curious glances at the luxurious Bentley.
Many young women, in particular, were dazzled by the sight of the multi-million-dollar car.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Jack couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment as he noticed the admiration in their eyes.
Compared to the somewhat abstract title of "Drakengard Games founder", this Bentley provided a more tangible sense of status and prestige.
As the car passed by a small hotel, a commotion at the entrance caught Jack's attention.
Glancing through the rearview mirror, he saw a group of foreign students surrounding several young women.
And among them, the two girls trapped in the middle were none other than Bella's roommates—Luna and Remy.
The two looked visibly panicked, seemingly in trouble. They tried to explain something, but the foreign students weren't listening, instead laughing in a strange and unsettling manner.
Although Jack wasn't particularly close to them, he decided to step in.
He drove the Bentley straight toward the group. The imposing size and sleek black exterior of the vehicle exuded an undeniable sense of dominance, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
