Chapter 321
With the rise of Genesis, the company's other casual games also took off, drawing unexpected attention.
A massive wave of content creators, gaming enthusiasts, and even international novelists flocked to the platform. Under Jack's careful planning, the Haven website evolved from a simple discussion forum into a full-fledged entertainment hub.
The platform quickly amassed a huge user base thanks to the initial strategy of offering free novels and game demos. It operated on a global scale, consistently boasting over five million daily active users, sometimes even surpassing ten million. The platform was rapidly expanding, and its influence kept growing.
As its reputation soared, game developers started reaching out, eager to bring their projects to Haven in exchange for a revenue-sharing deal. At the same time, advertisers lined up, eager to place their ads on the platform.
At this point, Genesis Group was undeniably in its golden era.
Jack also began strategizing a funding plan to secure future investments for the company's continued growth. As business expanded, he found himself dedicating more and more time and energy to the company.
He handed over the Aelish version of his novel to a translation team, but for the Kranish version, he planned to ask Charlotte for help.
...
Seasons changed, and before he knew it, spring was in full bloom, bringing warmer days.
On a Saturday, Jack called Charlotte to see if she was free to teach him Kranish.
She laughed over the phone, her voice light and cheerful. "I'm at the Delta Hotel right now. Why don't you come over? Leo, fatso, and Zane are here too. We're about to go play some basketball."
The Delta Hotel was a high-end international hotel. Even in a cosmopolitan city like Alnewgo, it was considered upscale, a place where only the wealthy and influential frequented.
When Jack arrived in a cab, a security guard at the entrance stopped him.
Luxury hotels like this didn't let just anyone stroll in, especially that day when several high-profile city officials were attending a conference inside. Security was extra tight.
Jack pulled out his phone to call Charlotte, but after several attempts, she still wasn't picking up.
He figured she was probably in the middle of a game and didn't have her phone on her. Looking around for another way in, he spotted the hotel's perimeter fence. It was tall, but not tall enough to stop him.
Seizing a moment when no one was watching, he effortlessly vaulted over the 13- foot fence.
Once inside, he realized he had landed near a pristine golf course. The expansive green lawn was immaculately maintained, with sprinklers humming as they watered the field. Across a narrow river, a group of well-dressed elites sat under umbrellas, sipping their afternoon tea.
A couple of young caddies nearby glanced at Jack, looking suspicious. They had clearly seen him jump the fence. But with his composed demeanor, they hesitated to say anything.
Jack crossed a small bridge and headed toward the courts, scanning the area for Charlotte. But she was nowhere to be found.

Just as he was about to try calling her again, a sharp, surprised voice rang out from the crowd.
"Hey! It's you?"
Jack looked up and saw none other than Hector-the same man he'd clashed with not long ago.
A group of women stood behind him, the same ones who had pulled up in luxury cars that day to back him up. They still harbored a grudge against Jack, and now that they had run into him again, their expressions darkened. The rightful source is find{n}ovel.net
Hector gave him a cold glare. "How the hell did a nobody like you get into a golf club like this?"
One of her friends, a woman named Melissa Lowe, sneered. "I bet he snuck in to steal something. Or maybe he's here to pick up stray golf balls and sell them for cash."
The rest of the women burst into laughter.
