Chapter 505 - I'm Jackson Patrick Muller
Everyone in the room fell silent when Jack started to tell them how he got all his memories back and all his confusion when everyone called him Alan, until he finally tried to calm down and finally managed to remember everything he had been through for so long for the past two years as Alan.
"How can you remember everything, Young Master?" asked Doctor Leo in surprise.
Jack pursed his lips at Doctor Leo's question. He slowly turned to Anne who was still standing by the door. "I don't know, obviously when I woke up I knew I was Jack and was furious at everyone calling me Alan without giving me any explanation."
Jack's eyes flashed with anger when he spoke like that. His disappointment in Anne was very big at this moment and it was realized by everyone, including Doctor Leo, who had just spoken to him. The aura that Jack showed was so great that everyone in the room was afraid of him, including Erick. Erick, who already knew his master by heart, could guess that his master was currently very angry, but on the other hand, he was happy that his master had returned.
Mr. David Clarke then asked Luis to pushed him closer to Jack, who was standing on the other side of Alan's coffin. The old man then took Jack's hand which was on his waist. Because Jack was looking the other way, he did not know that his grandfather was behind him and was surprised when his hand was touched by his grandfather.
"Jack ..."
Jack turned and looked at his grandfather, who was sitting in a wheelchair. Slowly, his eyes softened when he saw his grandfather.
"Forgive me. I'm the only person you deserve to blame. I'm sorry for my selfishness," said Mr. David Clarke hoarsely with tears. His two old eyes were glazed over behind the glasses he was wearing.
Unexpectedly, Jack slowly knelt down in front of his grandfather and touched the knees of his grandfather who was sitting in a wheelchair. "No, Grandpa, you're not at fault. Everything that happened has been set by God. Maybe at that time, if Luis didn't help me, I might have been drowned in the English Channel and became the food for the planktons there. So don't apologize to me again, Grandpa."
Mr. David Clarke's tears flowed freely when he heard his grandson's words. "A-aren't you mad at me?"
Jack shook his head. "No, I'm just grateful because with all that happened, at least I know that I still have a grandfather and feel the love that you give me."
"Oh Jesus ..."
Mr. David Clarke's words stopped when Jack got up and hugged him tightly. The tense atmosphere changed. Everyone in the room was crying happily when they saw seeing what Jack did to his grandfather, even though before, they thought Jack would be angry when he found out that he had been lied to for two years. The cry of Nicholas who was standing beside Erick was getting louder and it made Erick smile. He slowly put his arm around Nicholas' shoulder who had been hostile to him for the past two weeks.
"My master is your master as well, Nick, so you don't have to cry all the time. Mr. Jack will still be your master too," Erick said quietly, half whispering.
"Really? So I can still serve him?" Nicholas asked with sparkling eyes.
Eric nodded his head with a smile.
"Yes, as long as you obey and know that you will be the third assistant after Erick and I," said Alice suddenly interrupted.
Nicholas gasped and rolled his eyes. "Third assistant?"
"Yes, because Erick and I will be Mr Jack's first and second assistants. Do you mind?" Alice asked with a look full of intimidation. She was happy to be teasing Erick.
"No ... of course not, as long as I can be with Mr. Alan, uh Mr. Jack, then I'm fine," Nicholas replied without pause while wiping his tears.
Eric chuckled. "Come on, Alice, don't tease Nicholas anymore. He'll cry again."
"It's okay. We have to tell him the reality first, Erick. So that in the future he can respect us as seniors," Alice replied curtly.
Erick's laughter grew louder when he heard his girlfriend's words. He knew that Alice didn't really want to bully Nicholas. Alice was only in the mood to tease Nicholas, in retaliation for his unfriendly behavior over the past weeks. Erick finally took Nicholas and Alice out of the room to see the preparations for the press conference that would be held soon.
After hugging his grandfather for a while, Jack wiped his grandfather's tears gently using his fingers. "Grandpa, calm down. Now it's my turn to take revenge for the death of my twin brother."
"What do you want to do? Don't do anything strange, Jack, I don't want anything bad to happen to you. It's enough that I have lost Alan."
Jack smiled and took his grandfather's wrinkled hand. "Don't worry, I can't be hurt. They don't know who they're up against. I'm a man who almost died and they don't know what it's like to be near death. So you don't have to worry. What's clear is that I will make them wish that they're dead rather than to live such a horrible life."
Luis was silent hearing the young master's words, and so were the others, including Anne, who had not utter a single word since earlier. Slowly, Jack got up from the floor and approached the coffin of his twin brother, Alan.
"Calm down in heaven, my brother, let me take your revenge. I'll make them feel the pain of death that you don't feel," said Jack quietly, closing his eyes as he touched Alan's coffin on the head.
After Jack said a few words of farewell, Alan's coffin was prepared to be shown to the public to be announced as dead. Jack himself was ready to introduce his true identity to the public. With the doctors and cops working on Alan's car accident, Mr. David Clarke, pushed by Luis, finally left their house to hold the press conference. All the data of Alan and Jack were also brought as proof that they were twins.
When Jack came out of the house, flashes from the cameras were flashing straight at him. He stood tall beside his twin brother's coffin that the Warriors had just carried.
"I, Jackson, Patrik Muller, vow to avenge the death of my twin brother Alan Knight Clarke. The identities of the people who caused the accident have been obtained, although they have not yet turned themselves in to the police," said Jack quietly as he finished his brief introduction as Jack in front of the crowd of about 50 journalists from various mass media.
"Muller? Why is your last name Muller?"
"Right, why don't you use the family name of Clarke?"
"On what basis can we believe that you are the twin brother of the deceased, Young Master Clarke?"
"Isn't this just something made up by the Clarke family doctor team?"
"If indeed Young Master Clarke is dead, why do you only bring it up now?"
Jack smiled at the words of the reporters who were throwing a lot of questions at him. He then ordered Erick to play a video of his childhood in Switzerland with his father and mother.
"Alan and I lived separately. Alan was brought up by my kind grandfather which made Alan a kind, naive man who didn't know he was being taken advantage of. While I was raised by my mom and dad who used the name Muller as their last name, which makes me having the last name Muller. I also lead a large funding company in Switzerland called Muller Finance International. Two years ago, I was harmed by the same person who killed my twin brother on a cruise ship. That person thought I was Alan, so he hit me in the head me and pushed me to fall in the English Channel, which made me almost drowned. I was then forced to be my twin brother for the past two years to find out who was behind the accident that took his life. And why are we only now telling the public about my twin's death is because there are many things that we have to consider, one of which is because we I had to work alone to find the mastermind behind the accident. Because two years ago they had used their connections to close the car accident case, and because now we have all the evidence of their crimes, including the bribes they committed to the police and the judge who handled this case, we only opened the facts to the public now. It is indeed a very long time but we believe that our struggle for justice for the death of my twin brother will be worth the outcome we hoped for. I hope my explanation can be understood. The most important thing at the moment is that I want to say to the perpetrators whose identities we already have, that it's better for you to surrender in the next 24 hours before we make you feel ashamed for the next 7 generations. I'm Jackson Patrick Muller will come to you one by one, if you don't turn yourself in to the police," said Jack at length. He deliberately didn't tell them about his memory loss because he was afraid that many people would misinterpret him to pretend to be Alan to find out the person who killed Alan.
While Jack was talking, videos of Jack in Switzerland were played on a large screen that had been prepared by Erick, including the video of the award he received when he succeeded in bringing Muller Finance International into becoming a giant funding company in Europe.
