While riding in the car, Jack felt extremely blessed. He felt like he had become a full-fledged creator, a hero who led the charge when it came to the latest trends.
Seated next to Jack, Claude looked at him with eyes shining with worship and respect. In Claude's eyes, Jack was a founder with limitless and untapped potential.
As night fell, Jack arrived at the hotel that Claude had arranged for him. The surroundings were deserted. Jack breathed in deeply before he started to strip himself of his shirt to take care of the gun wound.
Fortunately, the bullet had missed Jack's vital spots. Even though the pain was excruciating, it surprised Jack that his body had a vitality that far exceeded an ordinary person's.
After removing the bullet, the damaged flesh surrounding the wound took on a life of its own. New flesh began to grow quickly, accompanied by a tingling but numbing effect. His cells were dividing rapidly to heal the wound.
Jack let out a sigh of relief. Even though his body still felt off-kilter, the gun wound didn't give him too much trouble when looking at the larger picture. The next morning, after Jack woke up, he discovered Claude had prepared an extravagant welcoming party for him.
All the staff of Genesis Games were present. Their eyes sparkled with anticipation and respect, dreaming of a chance to interact firsthand with Jack, a titan in the game development industry.
"Mr. Holland, welcome!"
After noticing Jack's arrival, Claude stepped forward and shook his hand warmly. "We have prepared this party for you in hopes that you can feel how excited and grateful we are to have you here."
Jack nodded while smiling, acknowledging everyone present.
