Chapter 196 A Rich Boss
So, how was he invisible in the footage? After thinking for a while, he looked at one of the soldiers and asked them to show him the footage of the past few minutes.
After a while, the footage was in front of him. He watched it calmly but at the same time expectantly.
But, he was surprised that he could see that Jack was present in the footage. Furthermore, he didn\'t seem to be concealing anything at all.
Thinking that something was wrong, Valnaro went back to watching the first footage. In the end, no matter how he looked at it, he found that there was nothing that seemed out if place other than the fact that there were two invisible people killing or knocking people unconscious.
And what made Valnaro\'s lips twitch was the fact that, he could clearly see the weapons that the person was carrying. The walkie-talkie that hang on the shoulder and the pistol that was being held by the invisible belt.
As he looked at it, he could see that, it was as if there was a person that had come with an eraser and decided to erase the person, leaving behind the weapons.
"This can only be a single thing. There\'s someone that has great computer skills and can easily make the video here as he or she likes. And, that person\'s skills are so high that they could make it look like the video that they were watching was the original one and wasn\'t edited." Valnaro stated.
"But captain, who is it that can do that? All the computer experts of our company have tried looking but they found that there were no loopholes at all." The vice captain that was beaten up by Jack stated.
Although the company was for the soldiers, there were other people that had several skills that were from the other fields. Moreover, they were considered experts in their fields.
All these experts in the computer path had tried to look into the video to see if it was edited. But in the end, they found absolutely nothing.
Although they were sure that the video was edited because no matter what, there were people that had seen Jack and Denali taking action, on the footage, they were both invisible.
Valnaro could only narrow his eyes as he thought of something. "Perhaps this guy has more to him and is not as simple as he looks. Perhaps he has a team that is so good in the matters concerning technology, other than the science department."
As he said these words, Valnaro now began doubting that they would really find anything on Jack. He could easily have the video of him fighting edited to the extent that his best men couldn\'t find anything wrong with it with their skills. But, there was something wrong when one looked at it.
So, he could perhaps have had his information hidden. Or, he might have left behind fake information. At the end of the day, he was greatly skilled.
What Valnaro didn\'t know was the fact that, he was completely right about everything other than the person behind all of this. Instead of a team, the video and the information about Jack had all been dealt with by Denali.
If he knew about such a thing, Valnaro would surely go out of his way to try recruiting her. After all, Denali was a person that had both strength and skills.
If it was the normal attacks, she was good. And if it was the cyber attack, she could be even better. Perhaps even espionage using hacking could be possible!
"Leave this issue to the side at the moment. Try to find any evidence of the occurrence here today. The footage should be saved so that we can carry further investigation after we are done." Valnaro stated.
"Yes captain!" The soldiers around him replied.
"Oh, one more thing. I want the three that were found unconscious interrogated as soon as possible. And, I want results. As for the fact that they always don\'t talk, I don\'t want to hear of such a result. I want to get the reason as to why they chose the hotel as their target no matter what."
As he said this, Valnaro was solemn. He knew that the information that was related to the incident here was going to be important.
Although it might not be that important because he could tell that the group that was sent over had been sent to their deaths, at least he was sure that he could get a traitor in the country.
And, he wouldn\'t need to take action at all. He would simply let Jack take care of that traitor while he watched from the sides, trying to get a grasp of Jack\'s real strength.
"Yes captain!" Knowing that Valnaro was serious about what he had just said, the soldiers dared not to waste any more time and decided to take action immediately.
….
Jack didn\'t know what was happening on Valnaro\'s side. But, he could already imagine it all because it was something that he had asked Denali to take care of.
Although it was true that he had asked her to take care of the situation, he never asked her to make fun of Valnaro and his group of specialists. But if he knew that this was what had happened, he would definitely thank her greatly.
"Alright, I won\'t beat around the bush at the moment and I\'ll be clear with you. I know that there have been several casualties here. But, I don\'t really know at the moment what happened here and what was the reason behind it." Jack continued.
"And as such, I would like all of you to take a break of one week. Don\'t come to work during this one week. You can simply relax and try getting yourselves together."
"As for the matters concerning your salaries and so on, there\'s no need to worry about that." Jack had come to this decision. Although he knew that closing the hotel would definitely cause several losses, to him, that was nothing at all.
He could recover all of that with the help of the system. Not to mention the fact that there was currently a somber atmosphere here in the hotel. He would have to wait till the situation calmed down.
And, he thought that a single week was enough for all his staff members to get over themselves before he began making the necessary changes.
The over thirty people in the conference room were greatly surprised by Jack\'s words. They had never seen a boss like him before. He could actually be like this to his employees.
Now, they were wondering why he had not appeared earlier. Perhaps their situation would have been better than currently.
Jack waited till the noise in the room subsided before he spoke again. "Now, before you leave, I would like to get all the information that I can get about the victims of today\'s assaults. Their families will receive the compensation from our hotel."
"Although I know that money and the support from our hotel won\'t be enough to replace the gap that the families that have lost their loved ones will have, it would at least do something at the end of the day." Jack continued.
The management staff was surprised by Jack\'s words again. Normally, it was the government that did the compensation because the matter here was related to the public security, and not the mistake that was made by the hotel.
But at the end of it all, their boss had decided that he would also compensate the ones that had suffered losses here on this day.
"Okay, each family of the ones that have had members of their families dying here, for those that were customers, they would receive a compensation of $10M."
The moment that the amount was mentioned, the crowd couldn\'t stay calm anymore. $10M was something that they couldn\'t touch easily, even for them as the top management of a big hotel. But now, those families that had lost their loved ones that had come to dine in the hotel here would receive $10M each!
Just how rich was their boss? They couldn\'t help but ask themselves.
"As for the ones that were part of our staff members here, their families will receive $15M each. If they have children, anything concerning their education and health will be taken care of by the hotel!"
Boom!
Another bomb was dropped in the hearts of those that were listening. For a moment, they almost wanted to have their family members dying here in the hotel as part of the staff. But, that thought was discarded in the next moment because none of them wanted to lose someone precious to them.
"Alright, that\'s with the compensation to the ones that have had their loved ones dying. Back to the normal employees of the hotel. You would all receive a bonus during the one week that you would be taking a vacation from work. As for the amount, the lowest that a person would receive would be $50,000." Jack ignored the shifting expressions and continued.
The moment that he said this, they couldn\'t calm down at all. Although they were sad or frightened a moment ago, most of the people in the room had their mood elevated. $50,000 wasn\'t a small amount of money to the lower level staff members.
If the lower level staff of the hotel could receive $50,000, then what about them, who were part of the top management staff? They wondered if there was going to be another attack on the hotel in the future. Perhaps they could receive even more money?
If Jack knew what they were thinking, he would definitely make sure to fire every one of them and get another group of staff to take care of the situation here.
But all the same, although he was giving out money, it wasn\'t that he hadn\'t thought things through. Since he was planning to monopolize the hotel\'s sector, he could as well start things as early as now.
By giving compensation, the reputation of the hotel that had dropped due to the deaths would surely rise a little. Although the aim of giving the compensation wasn\'t this, it was just a benefit that came with Jack\'s kindness.
As for the bonus that he would be giving to his employees, that was something that he wanted to use to gain the trust of his employees. Although he was sure that not all of them would be loyal just because of the money, the ones that would be loyal were enough for him.
"Okay then, you will leave. But, don\'t forget about what I said. I want to get all the information about the victims today. And, I\'ll give you a warning. You better not try using this chance to cheat me. If you do that, your ending won\'t be good at all." Jack reminded.
His voice was cold at the mention of being cheated. He knew that there were definitely profiteers that would try to get something from him by pretending to have someone that died being a member of their family.
"Right, once you come back, I would like to get all the necessary information about our competitors. Furthermore, you should be prepared to move the location of the hotel when you come back from the vacation." Jack stated.
