Modern Traveler-Chapter 84. Share

Now that Fitz knew Jack had a famous and beautiful friend, his jealousy skyrocketed. Owen, who had been asked to bring Jack, left immediately.

"Leave. We don't need you," Poki said to Fitz, clearly agitated. Neo was becoming angry due to Fitz's presence. If Neo snapped, Fitz would be in trouble, just like the guy in that viral video spread across the internet.

"Who are you anyway? You're not famous like your friends. Stop bossing us around," Fitz retorted angrily. He didn't recognize anyone except the person he was with.

"Neo, just leave him be. It's not worth wasting your breath talking to someone like him," Sakura said.

"Yeah, let's sit over there and wait for your friend," Rae suggested, pulling Neo's arm toward the waiting area.

Fitz decided not to argue anymore; he wasn't foolish enough to pick a fight with famous people. One negative post from them could ruin his career. So, he returned to his table and observed Neo and the others from a distance.

Before long, Jack arrived with a woman by his side. When he spotted Neo, he immediately smiled and waved enthusiastically.

"Pretty boy! Long time no see! Hahaha, I miss you, man!" Jack said as he hugged Neo and patted his back.

"Hahahaha, Jack, you're still as jealous as ever. See, when I'm not around, you actually get a girlfriend!" Neo replied, hugging back. They both started laughing.

"Where did you go anyway? I was looking for you! You didn't even finish junior high; you just disappeared!" Jack exclaimed.

"Don't worry about it. How's your sister? Is she doing okay now?" Neo asked.

"She's better! Thanks to the money you lent me, she has completely recovered. Oh, let me introduce you. Neo, this is Emma. Emma, this is my best friend, Neo," Jack said.

"Nice to meet you, Emma. I know Jack always misses me, but please don't take it the wrong way; I like women," Neo said with a smile.

"I know you! You're really famous now! Jack talks about you all the time, saying things like 'Where are you now?' or that he's worried many guys out there will think you're a woman," Emma joked.

"What the hell? I was just gone for a year, and you started talking bad behind my back, Jack! Hahahah!" Neo laughed.

"Don't worry, Neo. It's just that I was concerned, man! Hahaha—oh shoot! Tenz!" Jack shouted and ran toward Tenz.

"Hello! You must be Jack. Neo wanted us to come along; sorry for the trouble," Tenz said.

"No trouble at all hahaha. Can we take pictures? Kyedae, Sakura, Pokimane, and Valkyrae. Is this heaven? Why am I seeing so many famous people," Jack

"Don't be so dramatic, man. You look stupid. I brought them here because I knew you would be thrilled hahahaha" Neo

"Hello, Jack. Nice meeting you," Poki

"Hi, Jack," Sakura

"Hello, Jack. It seems you know us," Kyedae

"Hi. We can take pictures later, hahaha" Valkyrae

"Hello guys, hahaha this is my girlfriend Emma." Jack introduced Emma to them

"Hello Emma," they say hello to her. Emma was beautiful with black hair. Jack really knew what he would pick

"By the way, Jack, it seems you are hated here?" Neo sat on the couch and said

"Hmm, you can say that. They think that only because of Emma did I get this job. I did get help from her, but I did all the necessary requirements to get this job." Jack

"Because of me, Jack always received the cold shoulder here. I don't know who started the rumor that he only got this job because I was his girlfriend. There's some truth to it anyway, so we can't really stop people from hating him," Emma explained.

"Why don't you just work for me, Jack? I'll give you the highest position, hahahaha," said Neo.

"Do you have any business, Neo?" Rae asked.

"Yeah, I was planning to open one soon," Neo replied.

"What kind of business? Maybe we could help you," Poki inquired. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"It's just a jewelry store. And don't worry about it; someone is already taking care of the necessary things like the building, permits, etc. I'm just waiting for the go-ahead signal," Neo explained.

"What kind of jewelry, Neo? Maybe we can take a look if we have some extra money," Kyedae suggested.

"Precious gems, necklaces, rings— all kinds of jewelry you can think of, hahaha. The name will be 'Gray's Vault,'" Neo announced.

"Sounds familiar. Where have I heard that name? Hmm," Sakura pondered, deep in thought.

"Hmm, wasn't that the company mentioned in the news yesterday? The Augusta Precious Metals will auction some of the most expensive stones in the world?" Emma chimed in, uncertain if it was the same company that was set to open soon.

"Yeah, the company that owns the precious metals is named 'Gray's Vault,' right? Neo, maybe you should choose another name to use," Rae suggested.

"Yeah, Neo, you should pick a different name. It seems like that name is already registered if they've announced it to the public," Kyedae added.

"Huh? That's my company. Isaac was the one in charge of finding me a suitable location to start my business," Neo responded.

"What?!" Rae and Kyedae's eyes widened in shock, while Sakura and Poki stared, their mouths agape. Tenz, Emma, and Jack appeared as if they had turned to stone.

"Neo, are you saying that you own the Neo Blue Diamond?" Sakura asked slowly, making sure she understood correctly.

"Ah, yeah, that was mine, hahaha!" Neo chuckled.

"It's hard to believe you own that company, Neo. What were you doing while you were gone?" Jack questioned.

"I thought you were a millionaire, Neo. I underestimated you if you're really the owner of that company," Poki said.

"What do you think, Jack? Are you in? Because you are my best friend, I will give you 5% of the company. Isaac will get 5%, and you will also get 5%," Neo offered.

"Why would I say no to that, Neo? I'm not crazy enough to reject an offer like that."

"Since you guys are my friends, when the shop opens, I'll give you each 2%. I don't want you all to be poor, hahaha. I'll introduce you to Isaac tomorrow at my sister's birthday party," Neo explained.

"What's happening? Is everything really okay with you, Neo?" Tenz asked, sounding a bit shaken. "Giving away company shares like that?"

"Neo, we don't want to take advantage of you," Rae said. They were joking about Sugar Daddy or Neo being rich and handsome. But this kind of thing is a little different

"Yeah, Neo, that would mean giving away 12% of the company. You built this company without our help; you should keep what you've worked for," Poki added. Rae and Poki wanted to meet Neo, but today, so much happened that it's a little hard to believe

"We can stay friends without these kinds of arrangements, Neo," Kyedae interjected, already feeling grateful toward him. Adding more would be difficult for her to accept.

"I call you 'sugar daddy,' but this is kind of too much, Neo! Hahaha!" Sakura said, trying to lighten the mood with a joke.

"I'm not that close to you yet; I just know you're Jack's best friend, Neo," Emma said, shocked. Is this how super-rich people do things?

"You can't change his mind," Jack mumbled, but they still could hear what he said
