Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Convince
Max turned around to run, but as soon as he did, he found himself facing a gun.
Without him realizing it, Jack had already approached him with a gun in his hand while holding a fresh and delicious apple, taking a big bite out of it.
Max was dumbfounded. He glanced back, realizing that he was just five meters away a moment ago.
Not only was Lord confused, but Said Bin Abydos was also puzzled. However, after glancing at Diana, he seemed to understand something and kept silent.
"To be honest, even though my powers have declined a lot, I can easily handle you," Jack said with a self-confident smile.
Although most of his abilities were unusable, his energy absorption and basic physical strength remained maintained.
Throwing away the bitten apple, Jack flipped his hand and took out a pair of handcuffs, handing them over to Lord. "Come on, Mr. Lord Cuff yourself."
Max looked at Jack's outstretched hand, suddenly a wild joy flashing in his eyes. He then pretended to take the handcuffs and grabbed Jack's hand suddenly, asking.
"Tell me, what is your wish?"
"???"
Jack looked at him blankly and then looked at his hand being held. His expression changed slowly.
"So, this is your wish?"
Diana walked over and looked at Max Lord. "You became the Dreamstone itself, which means you can help others fulfill their wishes!"
"I said it couldn't be done for free."
Jack pulled his hand out and said as he put the handcuffs on Max Lord,
"As I guessed before, he can fulfill others' wishes and take some payment from them at the same time."
"And he came here, probably for the oil."
"Am I right, Mr. Max Lord?"
Max Lord obviously didn't expect Diana and Jack to have guessed all his secrets, and even his plan was revealed.
He looked at Diana and Jack in horror, trembling and said.
"Who...who are you? What do you want? I can fulfill your wishes, please let me go!"
"Thank you, but you can't fulfill my wish."
Jack politely refused Max's proposal and turned to Diana.
"So, the problem now is how to make him give up his wish? To give up the power of the Dreamstone?"
"As far as I know, it's impossible."
Diana shook her head regretfully and sighed, "Human greed always wins, and it's almost impossible to get him to give up this kind of power."
"If we can find the right solution..."
Jack squinted his eyes with a sly grin and said, "It'll be much easier."
"Do you...have any ideas?"
Diana raised her eyebrows, not quite understanding Jack's words.
"Just wait and see."
Jack mysteriously smiled and then pulled Lord into an empty room.
An hour later.
When she saw Jack and Lord walking out with smiles on their faces, Diana blinked confusedly, not quite understanding what had happened.
When she saw Lord drive away, Diana couldn't help but ask. "What did you do? Is it okay to let him go?"
Jack, of course, understood Diana's concerns, but there was no need to worry anymore.
"Don't worry, he has given up his wish and the ability to grant wishes for others."
Diana looked at him in surprise, not understanding how he did it.
Jack smiled slightly and slowly revealed his plan.
The reason why Max Lord was looking for the Dreamstone in the first place was that he wanted to become a successful oil businessman. And Jack just helped him achieve that wish.
Actually, it wasn't even Jack who fulfilled his wish. Max Lord spent a fortune buying the oil rights for millions of acres of so-called oil-rich land, which led his company into a financial crisis.
Unfortunately, until now, not a drop of oil has been extracted from those so-called oil-rich lands. Max had no choice but to set his goal on the mysterious Dreamstone, and he really did find it.
What Jack did was very simple. He had Red Queen look for the location of oil lands that had been discovered in the future and luckily found that one large oil area was on Max's land.
He told Max about this news, and although Max was a little suspicious at first, after witnessing Jack's amazing abilities, he chose to believe. Of course, this was only the first step, and the most important was Max's son.
Red Queen found out that Lord loved his son very much, and the reason he founded the Black Gold Cooperative in the first place was to provide his son with a comfortable living environment.
So Jack used Max's son and described the negative effects of the Dreamstone power on him, almost all of which were related to his son.
Therefore, when Max heard that his son would be affected, he gave up his wish and left the power of the Dreamstone.
Jack felt a tightness in his chest when he heard this. He wouldn't have wasted his breath if he had known that he could just mention Max's son. But fortunately, the problem had resolved the matter.
In reality, there was a simple and effective solution to this problem.
Kill Max Lord
Once Max Lord was dead, the Dreamstone would be useless, and there would be no need for all this trouble.
This was Jack's first thought, but it was just a thought, and he immediately rejected it.
Max Lord was just a low-level person who pursued a high-quality life, and although he was a businessman, he had not done anything horrible. If he were killed, his son would probably end up in an orphanage.
Of course, it could also be because Diana was present. For some reason, Jack always tried to maintain his good side in front of her.
Perhaps...
Although the process was somewhat complicated, the result was still good. Jack couldn't help but feel relieved that Max Lord had just gained his power and his mental brain hadn't corrupted yet, otherwise he might not have been able to convince him.
"By the way, where did the power of the Dreamstone go?"
Diana looked down at Jack's hands and couldn't find the Dreamstone, feeling a bit puzzled.
"Didn't you make him give it up?"
"Um... about that..."
Jack's expression suddenly became strange, and his lips hesitated as if he had difficulty speaking.
In fact, it was true. When Max said that he was giving up his wish, the power of the Dreamstone had just escaped from his body.
However, before Jack could react, his body, like a black hole, directly absorbed all the power of the Dreamstone.
Then, he devoured all of it, along with the Infinity Stones' Energy that had been inactive inside him for many days.
