Ero Meter

Chapter 168 Three Percent

The next day Jack was sitting in his living area with Cassie sitting right beside him, she was holding his hand and was focused on watching the TV.

Jack on the other hand also stared at the TV but his mind was somewhere else. He was thinking about Rick and how he accidentally encountered him last night.

'He must live near me.' Jack thought and then moved his hand away from Cassie's he wanted to find out where Rick worked.

He wanted to know everything about Rick so he could form a good plan that could help him deal with the young guy.

Because of the way Vieva acted for Rick, it was clear to Jack that he was not as simple as a construction worker.

And even his truth meter confirmed it, 'If I didn't do anything he would even kill Vieva, he must be pretty powerful to do that.'

Jack thought and sighed, he also had another problem that was eating him, 'How will I be able to deal with such a powerful guy?' Jack moved his head and looked at Susan.

If he was not present there with her yesterday then Susan might have been Rick's first target.

'I can't let anything happen to my girls.' Jack thought and stood up from the sofa, however before he could do so, Cassie grabbed his hand again and pulled him back.

"Where are you going? We just sat together." She said with her brows furrowed, she wanted to spend some time with Jack.

Jack looked at her face and then stayed silent for a few seconds. "I have some work to do." He said and took his hand back again.

Cassie raised her nose in annoyance at his words. "Go then, you never have time for me." She said.

Susan looked at both of them and decided not to interfere, whereas Nicole was in the kitchen she was unaware of the things happening in the living area.

Jack listened to her and sighed, he turned his head around and moved towards the mansion door.

He was in no mood to argue with Cassie now.

When Cassie saw him going away an even more annoyed expression appeared on her face and then she snorted crossing both of her arms in front of her chest.

Her head turned around and then she started watching the TV again.

'He is so annoying...' She thought and sighed.

Susan on the other hand kept her silence, while Nicole was still busy in the kitchen.

Jack stepped out of his mansion and reached the garage, after getting in the car he moved out of the mansion road and got on the main one.

After travelling for some time, he parked his car in front of a cafe and took out his book and pen.

He also took out his phone and searched for all the construction companies in his area and soon enough he noted down a list of companies in his notebook.

He then clicked his pen and kept writing.

'Does Rick work in any of the companies that I just noted down?' He asked and then wrote yes and no options.

His eyes then scanned the two options with expectations flashing in his eyes, he wanted the option to be the first one as he then would not have to manually scan every construction site near him.

If Rick worked in one of these construction companies then his work would be cut down a lot.

And to his surprise when he saw the first option the small panel in front of his eyes flashed green.

A smile then formed on Jack's face, 'Phew.' He let out a breath, this was a huge step in his progress as he now knows where Rick worked.

Jack then searched all the construction projects that Rick's company was handling and then he asked which project Rick was working on and he quickly found that out too.

'He works so close to my mansion.' Jack took in a deep breath, if not for Vieva handing him this mission then he might never have known that such a dangerous person was so close to him.

And on top of all that he would be unaware of the fact that his girls would be in danger and all of them would be killed.

He closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds. 'I have to kill this guy no matter what.' Jack thought and leaned back in his seat.

Many thoughts were going through his mind about how he could kill Rick, however, then he remembered that the chances of him killing Rick were as low as one per cent.

He asked this question previously to the truth meter.

Jack thought for another few seconds and then clicked his pen again, he wrote down another question.

"What are the chances of me killing Vieva?" He then wrote down a few options.

"Less than one per cent.

Less than five per cent.

And less than ten per cent."

And when he checked his truth meter he found out that the meter flashed green on the second and third options.

Which meant that he had less than a five per cent chance of killing Vieva.

He asked a few more questions and found out that he had a three per cent chance of killing Vieva.

'So killing Vieva is easier than killing Rick.' Jack concluded and gulped his saliva.

This information hit him like a wave. He can't even dream of even harming Vieva even if he wanted to, as she was pretty powerful in his eyes.

And he still has more chances of killing Vieva than Rick. He could only imagine the difficulty he would face if he wanted to kill him.

'How am I supposed to deal with such a powerful target?' Jack thought and looked in his back mirror and he remembered that he had bought a sniper that was in the car backseat.

"Can I kill Rick with the sniper?" He asked his notebook and to his terror, the answer was no.

He leaned back on the seat again with a frustrated expression on his face, the only thing that kept his cool was the fact that he had a few months before Rick would target Meadow.

If it was any sooner then he would have been even more frustrated and desperate.

And that could have led to him making some sort of mistakes and messing up the whole thing.

"I have to calm down and think about this situation more, I also have to dig for more information about Rick." He thought and was about to step out of the car to drink some coffee.

However, before that his phone buzzed and his eyes glanced at the phone resting on his lap.

"Elma?" It was a call from Elma, Jack realised and then an idea popped up in his mind.

'She might be able to get some information about Rick without alerting him.'

Jack knew that Elma had many connections with powerful people and it would not be a big deal for her to get information about Rick if she wanted to.

He quickly picked up the call and placed it beside his ear.

"Hello." He said.

"Hmph... If not for me calling, then you would have forgotten me." A slightly annoyed voice came from the other side of the call.

"What happend?" Jack asked with a slight smile on his face, he knew why Elma was annoyed by him.

"What happened?! You never call me." Vieva got even more annoyed at his words.

Jack chuckled listening to her. "Ok, calm down, I was just gonna call you." He said, trying to calm her down.

"And now you are even lying. Hmph! I want to meet you right now." She said in her annoyed tone.

Jack smiled at her words. "What a coincidence, I also wanted to meet you." He said.

"Stop lying and tell me where should I come?" She asked, calming down a bit.

"I am coming to your house," Jack said, he wanted to see her at her house as it would be the best place for him.

"Yes, that would be perfect. Now don't make me wait too long and come fast." She said, her voice calming down even more.

"I will be there in fifteen minutes," Jack said and hung up the phone. He then looked at the Cafe and dropped the idea of drinking a coffee.

Starting his car, he soon moved towards Elma's house.

Inside the cafe, at a table, two people sat, one was a handsome young man and the other one was a beautiful young girl.

The girl was smiling and giggling as she talked and flirted with the young boy.

The people in the cafe looked at both of them with jealous expressions on their faces. It was clear that both the guy and the girl were extremely beautiful.

If Jack had been here then he would have instantly identified the young guy, he was none other than Rick.

The same guy Jack was just thinking about.
