Chapter 288

"Hmm, that's true , a you even have your own company that's thousand times agead of any normal pharmaceutical industry" Martha muttered as she sat down opposite Jack.

The room soon descended into silence , before it could get any awkward, Both the parties received a call.

"Oh, it's from the company, I will see you later son" Martha waved as she used the bracelet on her hands to open a portal directly in the company office.

"I guess you are making proper use of my gifts mother " Jack smiled seeing his gift being put to use.

The user just needed to imagine the place they wanted to go to and the bracelet would take them.

"Well, it's a thousand times better getting stuck in the downtown traffic" Martha commented as the official portal closed leaving Jack alone in the room.

"Sigh, let's see who's calling little old me," Jack said as he picked up the phone.

'hmm'

"Hello! I heard from Fury that you went ahead to deal with a supposed eater of planets without me" From the other side of the phone came the voice of a pissed-off Jean who was currently in the X-Mansion.

"Haha, relax, I didn't deal with him as per se, I just negotiate with him, it's not as I fought with him, plus, you were busy so I didn't bother you" Jack replied.

Though Jean was having none of it as this wasn't the first time Jack left her to fight off strong opponents.

After a few more arguments from Jean, Jack could only surrender in defeat," Alright alright! , I am sorry I didn't tell you, I will make sure to send you a massage when I have to save the planet again" Jack said.

"Hmph! That's better, now how about we go out, it's been a while" Jean said, as her face grew a blush on the other side of the phone.

Going out with Jack was new to her, they have only gone out a total of three or four times and most of it was during some work,

"Hmm, alright, let's watch a movie, how about tomorrow " Jack replied after thinking a bit.

"Sounds good, you will pick me up tomorrow," Jean said quickly before she cut off the phone

Jack was left hanging by Jean as he couldn't help but sigh.

Picking up Jean meant having to pick her up from the X-Mansion, which meant having to deal with the others that resided in that place.

"Ahh! Whatever, if they don't know how to behave, I can just teach them how to behave"

Jack decided as he decided to take a look at the mission reward he receive for taking care of Ego.

[Comprehension pill]

"It's this thing again" Jack looked at the small pill in his hand, it was a cultivation-type item that increased his comprehension power for a short time,

"What else did I receive ?"

Jack went through his inventory and saw some other stuff he had collected before he saw the real reward

[Celestial core]

[A core of a celestial, integrates with the base body to increase your power level to a newborn celestial]

"Hmm! Although it's a good thing, I will wait until Sentry is at hundred before I absorb this" Javk concluded ad he put away the small glowing blue ball of energy.

He still remembered Sentry, a being that could continuously fight with a celestial for seven days.

Jack felt it would be better for him if he did so, maybe after he gains an origin-level skill, absorbing the celestial core will provide him with an even better upgrade to his power.

Putting these thoughts aside, Jack flew out the window, followed by the sound of his fans that would always stay outside, even though he specifically asked them not to do so as everyone has a life to live and not to waste theirs chasing after him.

As Jack flew through the skies, he took out hid phone and started searching up some nice movies that he could watch with Jean tomorrow

"Hmm, I really don't like romantic movies but Jean will sulk all day if she doesn't get to see a romantic movie, sigh, guess I will have to sacrifice my choice for her this time" Jack muttered as he booked two tickets for the movie he knew Jean would like as they had spent enough time together for him to know what she liked in a movie.

"Maybe I can have her meet the actors, this way she will be even happier, I remember her telling me she liked Emma Stone very much" Jack mutterwd a small smile made its way to his face.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the weird fluctuations around him and by the time Great Sage could tell him, it was too late

*Crack*
