A group of youngsters were singing and laughing cheerily in an opulent private room at a place called Alnewgo Clubhouse.
Some of the young men were well-dressed and carried themselves with pride. They sat on the couch with beautiful women in their arms.
Alex stood in the middle of the room, steadying himself on crutches. He looked humble and respectful. He'd been given a good beating not too long ago and had yet to fully recover. In fact, he'd sneaked out of the hospital to report to someone important on his progress.
"Are you telling me Jack Holland is Soul, that uber-popular legendary singer?" A voice filled with hatred rang out. It belonged to Flynn.
He'd been hiding in the shadows since Jack had given him a beating at the hospital. He'd watched Jack like the latter was his prey as he'd waited for the right opportunity to get revenge.
Flynn hated Jack with a passion. He would never forget the humiliation Jack had brought him on the basketball court as well as at the hospital. He'd sworn to himself to ruin Jack and make him pay the price.
He'd been secretly investigating Jack and had discovered the scandal about the latter partnering with Patrick to set up the plug-in studio. He'd tried to use the public opinion to destroy Jack's reputation, but the latter had been too sly.
The authorities had investigated the matter for a long time but had failed to find any evidence of Jack colluding with Patrick. Ultimately, the matter had blown over without any consequence.
Flynn would never have expected Jack to have yet another identity, though—Soul, the singer who had taken the Internet by storm. This discovery infuriated him!
