Chapter 11: Renting an apartment.
Ryan, who was now on the ground, couldn't even talk and was just clutching his crotch and crying.
"Watch? " Jack leaned forward and ptoo spat, Oh him.
"Tell your father to buy you one, motherfucker. If I see you in my face again, I'll sell my watch and buy a bull, then I'll take the bull into your house and let it fuck you in your ass," Jack said.
On the elevator, Jack was smiling, then said, "That felt good."
Jack that night slept peacefully. The next day Jack didn't see Yana on the campus and called her several times, but she didn't answer. Jack left a message on her phone, 'Hope you're doing well,' before departing the campus.
"Have you heard? "Ryan is at the hospital."
"Yes, I heard he got surgery."
"He can never be a father again."
Jack, who just listened to all this was sweating hard, said, 'Dude, did I just bust his nuts to oblivion?'
*Ring**Ring*
" Landlady? Why is she calling me?" Jack got call from his landlady, Ms. Stephanie.
"Hello?"
" Jack? Where are you?"
"I am on my campus; why? Do you need anything?"
"It's just that you want a new apartment, right? If your budget is around 5K€ a month, my friend has a property he wants to rent out.
"Okay, 5K€ a month? not a problem."
"Okay, come to Schwabing. Tell the cab driver that it's the fourth building after Victory Gate."
"Alright," Jack said, then took a cab.
After coming down from the cab, Jack looked around; the whole area was filled with artistic and modern homes.

"Wow, this is a nice place to stay, actually." Jack immediately liked this place.
It was a quiet and lovely place, not far from the university, almost perfect. Now if he likes the place Landlady was suggesting, then it would be awesome.
Jack called Ms. Stephanie to ensure the location again.
"Here," Stephanie waved her hands from a window on a building that was not far from Jack.
It was the third floor, and the building looked amazing. Jack was impressed at the gorgeous modern building.
Entering the building Jack saw two elevators; both of them looked very techy.
Jack just pressed 3, and he didn't even feel any motion; the elevator was smooth.
On the third floor, Jack finally saw the landlady Stephanie. She was wearing office clothes—a black suit with a blue shirt. She was not alone; there was also a man standing next to her; he was bald and wearing a pink shirt.
"Jack, this is Daniel; Daniel this is the boy Jack." Stephanie introduced them.
Daniel, who was in his late forties, smiled at Jack and judged Jack from head to toe.
After looking, he got sure this lad can pay; apartment rent was 5K€ a month, quite expensive for a student.
" Jack, Hey there, Let me show you how much bigger this place is and how many facilities you will be getting." Daniel invited Jack to the apartment.
"I want to park inside the building; I'll pay rent if needed." Jack, before checking out the apartment, was more concerned about parking a car.
"You've got a car," Stephanie asked.
"No, I'll be buying one in a week," Jack replied.
"We have underground parking; it's free with the apartment," Daniel smiled and said.
"Alright then, let's go." Jack just doesn't want to clean the snow on his car if parked outside.
"It's a four-bedroom apartment, with almost 3000 square feet in size and all the modern equipment; it'll cost you around 5K € in a month," Daniel showed Jack the whole apartment.
Jack loved it; it was an open and spacious apartment. He could designate one room for his studies and another for his various hobbies.
"Okay, I'll take it." Jack immediately decided to rent this beautiful place.
"Are you sure? The deposit is 20K€, along with a month's rent advance, for a total of 25K€." Stephanie stepped in and asked.
"Ma'am, I am sure of it. Tell me your bank account number and give me the contract to sign," Jack insisted, as this place was actually really beautiful, and Jack thought he could give the extra room to Emma; that way she wouldn't have to feel too guilty.
"Alright, ahahaha, Steph, your client is, as you said, very good." Daniel was in a very happy mood; his apartment was actually his only income source now.
"Yeah, yeah, no worries," Stephanie faked her enthusiasm; she was actually shocked. She called Jack over to show him around, allowing him to explore the area and potentially rent a 2000€ apartment that would be more suitable for a student like him.
"Here, sign here," Daniel pulled out a contract from a nearby shelf.
Jack signed it and took the bank account number from Daniel.
*Ting*
"Nice, boy, this apartment here is yours as long as you keep paying me rent. Here's the key; it also has a smartlock." Daniel took the money, and after talking with Stephanie some more, he left.
"Jack, don't just casually rent places; what if your business next month doesn't go well? 5K € per month is too much, right?" Stephanie, as soon as Daniel left that apartment, reprimanded Jack.
"Ms. Stephanie, don't worry, I've got enough savings now," Jack said in his mind system.
[Balance: 145,000 €]
'Nice, maybe tomorrow I'll be able to go take a look at the cars.' Jack, engrossed in his own world, abruptly snapped out of it when he felt Stephanie's hand on his cheek.
" You!!! Just don't splurge." Stephanie looked like she wanted to say something more but controlled herself.
"Yes, don't worry, ma'am." Jack wanted to console her but actually failed.
"Alright, I'll leave you at that. Please remove your stuff from my apartment; I'll rent it to someone in need." Stephanie was actually a little angry.
"Yeah, ma'am, I will remove everything from that apartment." Jack was now cautious, so he just said what Stephanie wanted to hear.
"Want to grab a coffee?" Stephanie inquired, hoping Jack would grasp the importance of financial matters.
"Alright, let me lock this apartment." Jack locked the apartment, then went out with Stephanie.
They sat in a nearby coffee place; it was evening, and Jack was hungry, so he took some croissants as well.
"Jack, if you've got money, my advice to you will be to buy land, not here, go deep inside the country, or go back to Australia and get a huge plot." Stephanie was giving advice.
"I understand, but what about my hobbies?" Jack asked.
"What about them?" Stephanie asked, confused, why would Jakc suddenly talk about hobbies.
"Well, let's say I buy land and invest in stocks; make money from money; that's very good, but what about my hobbies now? Can I go jump from the sky at the age of 60? No, I can't, so I've got money. I'll just enjoy it." Jack's mind was clear: on what he wanted. He doesn't want to invest and make life harder than it has to be.
"So, that's what your view of life is," Stephanie sighed and didn't bother lecturing him.
"I'll buy a house, don't worry." Jack plans on buying a house too, a mansion-type house.
" Oh? Nice " Stephanie agreed on this one; actually, she doesn't bother with just anyone; it's because it's Jack that she's bothering so much.
Her daughter, Theresa, likes Jack, and if they end up together, she just wants Jack to make the right decision.
"Ms. Stephanie, I'll take my leave. I have many things to move around, and I'll drop the keys to your home when I am done moving my things." Jack spoke after they had finished their coffee.
"Alright, take care; you still remember the school thing, right?" Stephanie reminded Jack that he has to be the boyfriend for her daughter.
"Sure," Jack replied, returning to the nearby cab station. He took a cab to his hotel and dedicated himself to studying diligently. If push comes to shove, he'll just be a fucking good student and do what everyone does—slavery!!!! Ahem! Job! He'll take on Jobs'.
After he finished his studying, he called Emma.
"Hello, Jack."
" Emma, How's your back?"
"It's alright now; there's little pain, that's all."
"I've called you because I want you to move in with me."
"WHAT!!!!"
" What? It will save you a lot of money. I've rented a place; it has 4 bedrooms, and I'll be using 3 of them, so I'll give you one.
" Ah! It's like that. Okay, where is it? Is it far from our university?"
"Not that far; you can just take a bike, and it will take you somewhere around 10 minutes."
"That's actually really close. Alright. It will take me 5-6 days to settle everything here."
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay,"
"Emma didn't even bother to look at the place," Jack murmured after concluding his phone call with Emma. Jack understood how desperate she is.
After dinner, Jack relaxed on the couch in front of the fireplace, browsing his phone. His Instagram got 4789 followers, and there were many comments on his picture.
Jack was confused; who commented on his picture?
